A Journey Across the Myriad Worlds Beginning with The Irregular at Magic High School
"I wonder if William has any other hidden tricks up his sleeve?"
"Otherwise, if it's purely a battle of attrition, I think William's situation is a bit precarious!"
As expected of a god!
Even if he wasn't a god of war, Hermes was usually unserious, still had a very sharp eye.
That's right, don't be fooled by the fact that William is currently in a slightly stronger position than Antares.
But don't forget, "Antares" has far more energy and stamina stored within him than William.
Even if William still has plenty of magic power, his physical exhaustion will eventually lead to his defeat.
"If only we had a weapon that could kill William with a single blow!"
Hermes's muttering reached Artemis's ears.
The goddess's pupils dilated violently, and she fell into deep thought.
After saying this, Hermes said no more and focused his attention on watching the battle.
Another fierce thrust of the spear, the sharp tip piercing directly into the gap between the "Antares" shell and the joint.
He swiftly pulled out the gun, and the wound, oozing green blood, seemed to heal in an instant, as if rewinding at double speed.
"It's happening again!"
William grunted slightly in annoyance; he and "Antares" had been fighting for an hour.
Engaging in these pointless battles for so long was starting to annoy him.
Moreover, his magic power has always been in a very healthy state.
However, his arms and thighs were already starting to feel slightly sore.
In contrast, what about "Antares"?
Although William also harbored a sliver of hope that it would soon be exhausted after releasing all its energy.
But seeing that its recovery speed showed no signs of slowing down, he knew he was just overthinking things.
"Waaaaaah!"
A pure white beam of light converged within the sharp mandibles of "Antares"!
William also pointed out his own "Marduk," with magic circles unfolding one by one on the gun.
The Railgun, slightly inferior to the beam by a second, fired from the tip of the gun, and the two violent energies collided violently in mid-air.
Such collisions were commonplace in this battle, and the people had long since become accustomed to them.
"Antares" will unleash energy attacks towards Lethsa and the others when William is far away from it.
And at this moment, William would stand in front of it again.
The Railgun was used to collide with the energy beam of "Antares" to cancel it out.
It's a bit ironic to say that!
But William felt that he actually saw irony and mockery in Antares's eyes.
"Alright, how about we consider unleashing 'Destruction' again!"
He was beginning to tire of this endless war of attrition.
Now he wanted to try again, to unleash the attack that had just shattered "Antares's " eyeball.
This skill is a magic he developed after thoroughly analyzing the Power of Annihilation within his own "Swift Thunder Chasing Fang".
He had been thinking about this ever since he discovered the power contained within "Swift Thunder Chasing Fang".
Could we extract this Collapse property separately and use it in our other attacks?
Especially when applied to ranged attacks, magic that can only be attached to weapons is far too limiting.
This "Collapse," named after his nature, was the first product of his research.
He believed that as long as "Antares" could not replicate the energy burst from before, he would be able to withstand the attack.
Then he could definitely leave an irreversible injury on it.
Do you really think he can't see it?
To counter his Power of Annihilation, "Antares" would first discard a portion of his flesh that had been bound by the Power of Annihilation before regenerating.
However, this series of actions was too fast, which caused William's "Swift Thunder Chasing Fang" to only achieve penetrating force and not the essential effect of Collapse.
His Collapse nature is not merely about possessing the ability to disintegrate magic.
Its true nature lies in completely killing everything it comes into contact with.
This naturally includes the cells that make up an organism.
Therefore, wounds caused by his magic will not heal easily.
"Hopefully, this time we can shatter its magic stone directly!"
William steeled his resolve; even with the high degree of uncertainty, this was his best option at the moment.
The scene is a replica of the previous battles.
William's body once again emitted painful groans due to the surge of magic.
William meticulously unraveled the Power of Annihilation contained within "Swift Thunder Chasing Fang".
Then it is continuously solidified and compressed.
This is all he can do right now, because he hasn't fully grasped how the power of Collapse is generated within his body.
Therefore, he can only unleash a large amount of "Swift Thunder Chasing Fang" and extract the pure Power of Annihilation from it.
This means that casting this spell was an absolute waste of magical power.
He would never have used this spell if his other magical attacks weren't currently insufficient in power.
Antares was certainly not stupid; when that heart-pounding feeling returned, it immediately understood.
