Chapter 333 - 310 Favor of the Goddess
Amberser Xiu looked at Brandir Sunda, whom he had knocked unconscious, and thought to himself how resilient the boy was, having held on until Amberser had finished firing two magazines of demon-breaking bullets before collapsing from exhaustion.
Even though his lack of battle experience was evident, the boy’s willpower was indeed strong.
And his Staff of the Oak Magic was exceptionally powerful; a few more hits and this mithril mecha would have been smashed to pieces.
What a pity, though. A druid, no matter how he transformed, could not keep up with a mecha flying at supersonic speeds. With the legendary ranger’s accuracy and the demon-breaking bullets, the druid was completely countered by Amberser.
Amberser also understood why the God of Alchemy regained his divine power by flying fast; breaching speed limitations could bring drastic changes to the entire continent.
Amberser patiently whittled away at Brandir Sunda’s magic power, and the young druid also understood that if he gave up, his tribespeople would be at the mercy of others, so he persisted to the end.
Looking at the unconscious Brandir Sunda, Amberser shook his head and said, "Silly boy, knowing you can’t win but still trying to fight head-on. Even if you can’t run, you could have hidden somewhere and attempted a surprise attack. Who knows, there might have been a chance for a turnaround?"
This was a matter of experience. Amberser had encountered unbeatable foes while adventuring with a team; all his teammates had been caught in a magic trap and fell into a coma, leaving only him unaffected. Their opponent was an ogre.
Amberser couldn’t just watch as the ogre consumed his teammates, so he chose to harass it constantly. He took advantage of the ogre’s slow movements; every time it dared to open its mouth to eat, Amberser would hit it with a cost-free Ice Ray.
With Amberser’s casting ability at the time, the effects of the Ice Ray were only enough to make the ogre shiver, but at least it could slow its actions.
