Chapter 112: The Worst Case
Nao’s POV:
I was still trapped inside Vorx’s ultimate skill, [Ultimate Dark Magic: Pandemonium Labyrinth]—a hellish maze packed with monsters constantly attacking me from every direction. Staying calm, I continued slicing through each monster that crossed my path.
Vorx stood atop a high tower made of magma and monster bones. From there, she controlled the beasts and prepared another wave of magic to crush me.
"Watch out! She’s planning a new attack!" Envi’s voice rang in my head, warning me just in time.
Almost immediately, Vorx cast [Invisible Blade] and [Ground Spikes]. The spells launched one after another in a relentless barrage.
"Ugh, damn it! She can spam magic like crazy because her mana is infinite in here. That’s just cheating," I muttered, weaving through the attacks with [Yanagi Uke] to deflect them.
But as more monsters poured in, I was slowly pushed to my limit. Whenever I couldn’t block an attack with my katana, I used [Dark Magic: Veil of the Phantom] to absorb the incoming hits.
Despite taking a few of Vorx’s attacks, I kept my health up by mowing down weaker monsters. Thanks to the passive effect of [The Bonehowl Ring], I restored 5% of my HP every time I killed a lower-leveled enemy.
Seeing me still standing, Vorx shouted from her perch, "Impossible! How are you still alive?! I’ve attacked you with hundreds of monsters and you haven’t even fallen once!"
"I won’t go down to your pathetic magic!" I shouted back, trying to provoke her.
Her face twisted in anger as she summoned even more monsters. I was starting to feel overwhelmed, but I searched for an opening to attack him directly.
