I am still not experienced and everything, so I can fight short time. Before I get tired, my regeneration of Demonic Energy would be lowered than consumption, and I would be running out of energy.
Compared to me, Venelana was better, as she could fight probably four times or five times longer than me. She was also more experienced in combat than me, but I was on the other side more versed in magic, from what I saw. Venelana was solely dependent on her Clan Trait and a few spells; I will need to teach her more magic in the future.
‘Architect, use Rosenkreutz amplification magic sequence.’
I commanded in my head as I summoned my scythe Rosenkreutz. In addition to being a weapon, it also served as a Mystic Code, which basically was like a magic amplification device or something similar.
I have inscribed onto the weapon a magic sequence that allowed Architect to control the weapon for a limited time, with which he would take care of gravity magic by himself, meaning he would be using ambient magical power in the air to cast spells, with the help of the Rosenkreutz.
What I got was a lessened burden. While I could let Architect control several magic spells that I cast in my normal state, it still took a part of my brain calculation area. With the usage of Rosenkreutz, which served as Mystic Code, Architect could temporarily pose as basically a separate person to maintain the magic while I was casting a new one.
Several Nordic Runes appeared around me, together with Dark Light Spears, as they shot at the struggling General Level Ape. Seven thunderbolts and three Dark Light Spears hit the Ape monster in dramatically manner, causing it to shriek in pain as it started breaking through the Dark Light Chains.
[Rosenkreutz can hold approximately for additional 125 seconds before the runes inscribed on it are destroyed.]Said Architect in my head. 125 seconds, basically two minutes. We have two minutes to cause as much damage as possible before the control over gravity magic runes is returned to me.
‘S***. It is going berserk.’
When they concluded, many monsters, or more like when their instincts told them they were in grave danger, would go berserk. Meaning they would enter a practically uncontrollable state when they would attack with far higher aggression to fight for their lives.
“Venelana create a distance and come to me, and prepare the teleportation circle. When it is prepared, I would release the bindings, and power up the circle, to send us as far as possible.”
Our only chance was to flee. Personally, I wanted to kill that thing, but unfortunately, it seemed not possible… only if.
‘Yes, why not use that. It is injured enough, maybe it will work.’
As I gave the command to Architect, I thought in my head and started creating as much as possible Dark Light Chains that were wrapping around the General Level Ape. The Ape was breaking them with ease, but he needed only a few seconds.
Venelana was already beside me and created a teleportation circle below us, ready to teleport us away. I was pouring the last bits into the Dark Light Chains wrapped around the General Level Ape.
“Venelana, now!”
‘Detonate!’
I said and also commanded in my head, as I released the control over Dark Light Chains, as I instructed self-destruction, as we vanished from the place.
We appeared several tens kilometers away from our previous location. I stood up and looked in the direction when we fought with Ape and saw the explosion’s aftermath even here.
‘How are my reserves?’
I asked Architect in my head, as I felt tired as hell.
[4 Units of Demonic Energy remaining. If you lose more, you will lose consciousness.]Damm. That was close.
“That was a good plan Zeoticus. Do you think that Ape died?”
Asked Venelana as she looked at my pale state.
“Dunno. Use detection spell in that direction. And could you please transfer some Demonic Energy… I am going to suffer exhaustion probably.”
Venelana nodded and started transferring some Demonic Energy to me, not much, just enough to raise my reserves above 10 units. After Venelana finished transferring the Demonic Energy to reach the minimum, I didn’t suffer energy exhaustion. She used the detection spell to know if the General Level Ape died from that explosion.
“It is dead… fortunately. What now?”
“Nothing. Create a teleportation magic circle, and I will take the corpse. It is a valuable thing for alchemy potions and pills.”
I said as Venelana looked surprised at hearing I had an interest in alchemy. There were very few Alchemists or Pill Refiners among our race; they could be counted on one hand. Though, most devils would buy what they want from some sects that were residing on Earth. Many of them were greedy for supernatural resources, as they were hard to come by on Earth.
Venelana nodded and created a teleportation magic circle that transported us to the place where we fought the General Level Ape. It looked totally devastated; the diameter of three kilometers or so became a literal wasteland.
“Quickly create a teleportation circle. When I have the corpse, we need to get out. Such strong explosion like this would for sure lure here countless General Level monsters and maybe even some Monarchs.”
I said as Venelana started conjuring the spell while I went to the corpse. I was surprised it was mainly in good shape; only around 20% of the body was destroyed, so it was pretty good. I stored it with a simple storage spell and quickly went to Vena, who teleported us as far as possible to the outskirts of the Sunset Monster Mountain Range.
“Damm. Finally, it is done. I wanna rest, though you can go first. I will watch over.”
I said as Venelana conjured a huge tent and went to sleep while I watched over. Theoretically, we could teleport to my home to rest, but alas, this was training, not a touring trip.
