VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

[{ "How can I help you? Tell me." }]

He was ready to do anything right now if it meant they could destroy this dark magic circle.

He loathed the bastard that killed and used all the relatives of his dear little friend and he was not going to just sit there and watch when he had the chance to screw over the xx dark magician.

[{ "There are two ways to destroy the dark mage's magic circle." }]

He knew about the two methods already.

One needed to either possess a strong holy power of high purity, or enough power to directly destroy the connection of the circle with the connected world.

[{ "We don't have holy power, so, we will go for the second method." }]

Holy power was a resource similar to the Mana of the mages or the Aura of the knights. Just that the ones who could use it were the believers and priests with strong Faith.

It wasn't necessary that the ones who could use it had to be devoted to some god or connected to some religious organization, but merely having strong beliefs allowed one to access this special power.

Alas though, neither of them possessed this special power and had no way to cast a spell that would be powered by the divine power.

She knew how to deal with the dark magic circle of this scale with the help of even the basic holy power user. But since they did not even have someone like that, they had to resort to the brute methods.

[{ "I want you to cast this spell. Can you do that?" }]

She took out a certain book from her inventory, a golden book that was just as metallic from the outside as the silver book he had learned the basic spells from.

[{ "They are special spells of nature series. You will have to cast three spells maintaining each one consecutively. It will be a little difficult, but do that and I'll take care of the rest." }]

The spell she was showing him did not look easy. And since this great lady of theirs told about it only after they were here, he did not have any time to practice in this place.

They were putting themselves in great danger just by being here since this place wasn't completely empty.

The magic circle was important to the dark Mage so there were still some minions guarding this place. They were strong beings that weren't going to fall for some simple distractions like the dark goblins did or the hounds outside did.

They needed to be extremely careful with these monsters. But she knew how to take care of them as well.

[{ "It looks doable." }]

Elio knew what kind of risk she was taking here so he did not hesitate this time.

He observed the spell formation a few times, tried making the same ones in his head, and when he was done with his versions he compared the one in his head and the one in the book, finding any difference between the two.

It wasn't perfect yet, so he tried again. And this time, he did not succeed either.

It was a complicated spell that needed to be made from many points in the inside instead of out from the core of the spell.

It wasn't easy and took him a few tries. But, after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at her with a confident look.

[{ "Go." }]

She knew he was confident about this. He knew what he needed to do. So, with a simple nod at one another, Alex jumped down.

And at the same time… Elio closed his eyes, silently chanted the spell in his head, visualized the three spells that he needed to cast, channeled his Mana, and with an impeccable image in his head, he materialized three spell circles simultaneously.

-Ooooooooooooooooong!

"Gurrrr?"

The minions of darkness that the dark mage summoner had summoned walked on two legs and resembled lizards covered in completely black scales.

They were black from head to toe, their eyes were deep black as well, and even their tongues were black… it wouldn't be racism to call them minions of evil in this situation.

Still, as simple looking as these creatures might be, every single one of them were above (Level-60).

They weren't something either of them would be able to defeat even if they somehow singled out one of them.

They weren't their opponents in the first place, they just needed to deal with the spell circle so that they could weaken the mage.

That was all that they needed to do here.

So, when he had prepared the spells, he just fired them in the points where she had asked him to earlier.

She had jumped down from the ceiling area and wasn't visible to him anymore but he had faith in her.

She knew what she was doing so without worrying about her much, he followed her plan, and right when the dark red spells that Elio cast reached the places where she wanted them…

-Swish.

-Click.

Out of nowhere, she appeared before one of the spells, slashed the circle with an unknown red sword that Elio was seeing for the first time, and vanished once again.

-Swish. Swish.

-Click. Click.

She did the same two more times consecutively and, since all of it happened in fraction of a moment, the dark minions did not perceive her, or the spells.

-Ooooooooooooong!

But after she had slashed the spell circles positioned in a reverse triangle around the spell circle with a star, the red spell circles with a strange slash on top of them glowed with a chaotic light.

-OOOOOOOOOONG!

It did not take the spell circles long to start sucking in the energy in their surroundings.

-Zaaaaa…!

It was strange seeing the red magic circles sucking in the black energy of the dark magic circle, but the more unique thing here was the slash that she had made— one that seemed to be the actual reason behind this phenomenon.

[{ "Prepare to leave. The mage will come here anytime now!" }]

She somehow climbed the ceiling and reached the cave where Elio, Az, and Miu were.

She looked extremely exhausted all of a sudden, and even her blue eyes were glowing with a strange golden light, but there was no time to pay attention to something like that.

-Booooooooooooom!

The three spell circles that she had cut down had somehow absorbed enough energy from the dark circle that the dark stable magic circle became completely unstable and was now on the verge of collapse.

[{ "Yes!" }]

There was no time to wait and look at this whole process since they both could see how this whole thing was going to blow up now.

The unstable magic circle was going to be lethal when it blows up since the energy that it would spew out will be that of impure darkness— one that they will not be able to handle at this stage.

They needed to get out of there as soon as they could, so they started running with the little slime in his hands.

The inside of the cave was going to collapse when the spell exploded, even the evil minions knew that.

But unlike them, they were going to stay there and do something about the spell circle since that was their duty here.

But they weren't going to succeed.

The spell execution was perfect.

-BOOOOOOOOOOM…!

Whatever they did, they weren't going to save the spell circle.

It was going to explode and it was going to take down everything in the area along with it.
