Chapter 39
Mad Spirit
Could the monster not be human but [Monster]? Based on the remaining magical elements and the situation, I bought information from the Adventurer’s Guild and thought it was a crazy [water spirit], not a water monster that haunted this area.
It was a prediction that I would wish to be wrong about if possible, but as every bad hunch worked, they often came true.
[Low-Rank Water Spirit].
[Magic Power: 337/503]
[Total Combat Power: 371/553]
[State: Madness]
Even at the lower ranks, spirits were very troublesome enemies.
Normally, spirits that controlled the reason of the world were rarely hostile, but when they get separated from the source of their attributes, as in this case, or when the summoner died, and they could not return to the spirit world, they would enter a state of [madness] and began to attack humans and other living creatures to steal their magical elements.
A normal Low-Rank Spirit had a Total Combat Power of around 500, which was equivalent to a [Rank 3] in terms of Monster, but in the case of Spirits, the difficulty of defeating them was equivalent to [Rank 4], and even the Adventurers’ Guild recommended a Rank 3 party including two or more sorcerers to defeat them. The Adventurers’ Guild also recommended a Rank 3 party of two or more magicians to defeat the spirits.
This was because physical attacks had almost no effect on spirits, which were not creatures of the material world but spirit life forms.
Even so, the attacker’s will to defeat and mental power could inflict about 10% damage, but the spirit’s magical power, which should be called its physical strength, recovered one point per second, so there was no way for a warrior-type party to counter it except by pushing it with their numbers.
