Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 43 - 44: Earthdusa



John had gone over the plan with the two girls, but they denied it. It was a rather simple plan, and it was one of their best options.

"Why not?" John asked.

"Fighting that thing without looking? Are you out of your mind?" Asked Serena.

"No, I told you. I have deprehendre. I can sense it." John replied.

"But John, What if you\'re hit, and the shock causes you to open your eyes?" Asked Ariel.

"That won\'t happen," John said.

"Let\'s leave it, Ariel. We don\'t have any better plans and he won\'t budge now that he\'s decided on it." Serena spoke.

"Fine..." Muttered Ariel.

"I\'m sorry Ariel, but we don\'t have much of a choice..." John said.

"I get it... I just hate how your life is constantly at risk, in the front and we\'re not able to offer much support..." Said Ariel.

"You\'ve been doing a great job with Serena supporting me from medium range, Thanks to you two I feel a lot safer at the front," John said.

"I-Is that so..." Muttered Ariel.

Ariel cast Wind Spear. She had been casting many spells today, so John was really surprised by her recent growth in both strength and magic capacity.

The wind began to gather where a flame had been formed thanks to Serena. That caused The Wind spear to turn into a flame-wind Spear.

After that, Serena cast 20 fire arrows and Ariel gathered air behind them, to propel them at any moment\'s notice.

"We\'re ready." Said Ariel.

Amazing. Their teamwork is amazing. Despite not being able to look, they were able to sense where the other was gathering the mana. Most of it is thanks to magic perception, but it\'s also something you can\'t pull off unless you\'ve had a lot of practice.

"Well done, you two have really improved your control over concept magic." John praised.

"T-Thanks to you..." Serena replied.

"John is a great teacher!" Said Ariel.

"Y-Yeah, no problem, I\'m also grateful to you two, despite being annoying. Serena is very wise. Ariel is hardworking and a great learner. You two have both saved me and I owe you a lot." John replied.

"Of course you do... While I\'m glad about being called wise, Ariel\'s the one who\'s saved you, I haven\'t managed to do much..." Said Serena.

"That\'s not true," Said Ariel.

"Remember when I was cursed and was losing myself when we fought the spider queen? You noticed it and stopped me from getting possessed. And that time where you held back the spider queen when Ariel was hurt? Oh, and-" John said.

"A-Alright! I get it! C-Can we have this talk later..? T-The monster\'s still standing there..." Said Serena with an embarrassed tone.

"Alright, Stick to the plan. Velox! Gravitas! Levite!"

John cast Velox and Levite to boost himself straight towards the monster. His eyes were closed and he couldn\'t see it, but he could feel it thanks to magic perception and deprehendre. He cast Gravitas so that it wouldn\'t move.

Once John reached it. He deactivated Levite as it\'s hard to get precise movements while he flew. With the momentum from when levite was active, John charged straight towards the Earthdusa head-on like a cannon.

Despite being under 20x Gravity, it managed to turn its body, and John ended up swinging at the side of its body.

"Hard," John said as he barely cut at its skin.

John propelled himself back with velox when he felt its tail head towards him. Hard skin and slow. If not for its eyes, it wouldn\'t pose any threat. 

\'Then why don\'t I…\' He thought.

"Velox"

John propelled himself over to where it was facing, and he propelled himself straight at its face. It turned its head again and swung its tail at him.

"As expected. Velox Duplici" Translation: Double Swift

In nearly an instant, John\'s daggers were pierced in each of its eyes. It happened a lot faster than he expected. John propelled himself twice at once. First, he propelled himself over to the direction he moved to, and then while he was still being propelled John propelled himself straight at it.

"Ignis iecit" John said while my daggers were inside of his eyes. Translation: Fire Shot

Fire passed from his daggers straight through its eyes and fried it along with the inside of its head. It let out a loud shriek indicating pain and began to uncontrollably swing its tail.

"Ariel, Serena. Now!!! Aim at my voice!!" John shouted.

Ariel was nervous of missing. Her eyes were closed, and she wasn\'t used to aiming without her sight. But she forced herself to calm down and took the shot.

20 Flames arrows along with a fire spear went straight towards John. The Earthdusa who could feel it tried moving away, but couldn\'t as John kept gravitas activated on it.

Once it reached it, the Fire spear pierced through its skin to the inside of its side belly. The arrows managed to pierce the skin but didn\'t go too far inside.

It let out a scream of pain before its body turned into a magic stone. John could tell thanks to magic perception. With hesitation, he slowly opened his eyes and... Nothing happened. He was fine.

John stared at the Cyan blue Stone, who radiated a beautiful aura. It was smaller than the spider queen\'s but it looked nice so John was sure it was worth quite a lot.

He picked up the stone and put it in the magic tool box, before looking over at Serena and Ariel. Their eyes were still closed, and they had confused looks on their faces as they tried to understand what had happened.

"We got it!" John shouted out.

"Thank god!" Shouted Serena.

"Can we open our eyes now?" Shouted Ariel.

"Yeah!" John shouted back.

The two girls rushed over to him after opening their eyes. Once they arrived, Both Ariel and Serena fell on top of John. He had no more strength thanks to the fight, so the momentum caused him to fall over as well.

Without moving, the two girls laid on top of him as they laid on the ground. They were fast asleep.

"So you used up all of your mana, huh... Ah, I\'m getting deja vu. It\'s not good to sleep on an empty stomach but you\'re tired, so we\'ll eat when you wake up." John said as he placed his hands around them.

\'Warm... They were warm and soft. Even if I wanted to move them, I don\'t have any strength left. So i\'ll let myself be spoiled by this warmth for a little longer…\' John thought.

"Sphaera Glacies" he muttered.

An Ice sphere was formed around them, and John began feeling sleepy.

\'The monsters are getting stronger... How much longer will we have to endure this? Either way, no matter what I have to keep them safe... Because I\'m the leader and..\'.

As John thought of such things he fell asleep.
