Chapter 690: Absolute Defence
I need to get closer to Jornes and search for a way to deal damage. There’s the danger of her using any magic I try back at me with [Chant Return] and [Magic Scale Magnification], so I can’t carelessly reveal my magic skills. [Ruin] is trouble enough, so if she copied my [Dite] or [Cocytus], it would seriously get out of hand. Depending on the situation I may be forced to use them, but I have more appropriate skills for keeping her in check
『[Holy Sphere]!』
I shoot a sphere of white light towards Jornes. It’s a straightforward light-attribute attack.
It costs more and does less than [Dimension Claw], and it’s also harder to hit, so I haven’t had many opportunities to use it, but it should be perfect for keeping Jornes in check. It’s not a physical attack, so [Karma Mirror] won’t stop it, and Jornes already has [Holy Sphere], so [Chant Return] isn’t a concern.
Jornes already has a low base speed, and in that abbadon body, her speed is further reduced by [Slow Body]. With such a body so big, she should struggle to dodge even simple attacks. Of course, if it wasn’t for that, it would probably be impossible for me to get even a tiny bit of damage past her [Karma Mirror].
『[Resist].』
Before it hits her, the ball of light scatters in a swirl. That [Resist] skill… it negates magic. She chose to negate it with [Resist] rather than reflect it with [Mirror Counter].
Even if I shoot [Holy Sphere] from here, it doesn’t seem likely that I’ll be able to break through her skills. However, I was able to fly a bit closer while she was busy with my [Holy Sphere]. If I keep flying closer while shooting magic like this, I’ll eventually reach her.
If it was power I was after [Gravidon] would do better, but [Holy Sphere] is easier use. I just need to keep shooting [Holy Spheres] and search for a way to deal even a little damage to her!
