Chapter 82: 15-year-old Inglis and Hyrule Menaces' Disease (3)
「Haat!!」
Inglis stepped forward and thrust her ice sword towards the monster’s thick chest. She was so fast the Magic Stone Beast couldn’t even move a step before it received the attack.
CLANNK!!
With a clear, solid sound, the beast bent backwards. It was overwhelmed by the force of the sword, yet the sword itself was repelled with its tip chipped, while the tough chest of the beast was left with only a small dent.
With the speed and the force behind it, it shouldn’t have been weird for Inglis’ sword to pierce straight through the beast. And yet, the monster was uninjured for some reason —
「Glis! Attribute, you forgot the attribute!」
The color of the Magic Stone Beast’s gem was blue. In other words, it had a high tolerance towards ice-affiliated mana. If the gem was red, the Magic Stone Beast would be strong against fire-attributed Artifact, and if it was green, it would be wind. Beasts that had multiple colored gems embedded within their body were a high-ranked species that could resist multiple attributes.
Therefore, it was only a basic strategy to bring a lot of Knights with varying Artifact attributes to combat the various resistances. Rafinha’s light attribute and Leone’s darkness attribute were the rarest and most superior attributes, and there were only a few cases of Magic Stone Beasts that had the same affinity as theirs. Hence, Knights with those two attributes were said to have the makings to stand second only to the Holy Knights.
While the ice sword Inglis produced was not an Artifact, it was still of ice attribute. Because of the bad affinity with the Magic Stone Beast in front of her, most of her impact was canceled.
