Bro, I'm not an Undead!

381 See How Smart I Am?!

Skullius shook his head in disbelief.

'And here I was expecting something extraordinary,' he thought before swinging his arms, multiple orbs of darkness flashing towards Hafuman!

Behind the Bookworm, the feminine figure of his companion, the one who had been called Kotaman rushed up to him with ridiculous slithering motion before the orbs could arrive and opened up a purple cover Holder twice the size of that of Hafuman!

She ripped from it a page and threw it in the air above them, her voice calling out in a language Skullius couldn't understand.

"Reinforcement Magic, Mighty Shell!"

The page shone, the array imprinted on it glowing with a bright blue intensity. The wave of light fashioned from the bright light then shaped a transparent dome of neatly arranged pentagons that covered the two!

Skullius' orbs struck heavily against the dome but asides from shaking it vehemently, no damage was done to it!

'Its sturdy,' Skullius thought.

Within the dome, Kotaman looked to Hafuman with an enraged expression before growling at him.

"Doesn't your Holder have any useful magic?!"

"My magical property is creating random spells! Deal with it!"

"Whatever, just use another spell!"

Hafuman grunted before tearing another page from his Holder.

"That better be a good one," Kotaman said.

"I don't know what it is! That's the whole point!"

Hafuman flung the page at Skullius, the object brightening up with a stream of light before vanishing into thin air with a smooth transition!

Skullius who had been drawing away from the page suddenly felt a peculiar sensation wrap around his Projected body.

'What's this weird feeling?' he thought.

Strangely, his body then started to spin, his Projected image swirling in the air with ever growing speed!

'What the- Am I going somewhere?!' Skullius thought with his vision whirling into a mess.

He could barely seen anything with his body seemingly having lost the ability to steady itself and rotating while stuck in one position!

"What kind of magic is that?" Kotaman asked with a weird expression.

"What part of 'I don't know' don't you understand?!" Hafuman grunted as he tore another page from his book. "Let's finish this... hopefully.

He threw the thick page which hurtled towards Skullius and shone, revealing its effect on the target.

The large... inflatable... thing was conjured.

It appeared almost weightless with a simplistic see-through body that mimicked the appearance of a human but with no fingers or toes.

This giant creature only had two black spots on its face and a simple arching smile at the base of its head.

It floated behind Skullius who kept spinning and stretched its hands around, beginning its descent to the ground thereafter with the Projected form of Skullius following obediently.

Skullius who kept spinning couldn't even tell what was happening and the same was true for his enemies.

The dome around the two shattered with the Bookworms who were under its protection looking at the floating figure of Skullius that spun with amusement.

"I'll admit that's pretty funny," Kotaman said with a giggle.

"I know," Hafuman said with a smug look, owning up to credit he didn't really deserve.

Suddenly, Kotaman felt a heavy force crash against her lower worm half from the front, her figure flying off far as blood sprayed from where she had been struck!

She landed violently over the mud, her body feeling a dangerous vibration all over.

...!

A large gash that bled had been formed on her transparent worm tail and yet Kotaman didn't even know how she had been attacked.

Instead of panicking, Kotaman ripped two more pages from her book and dropped them to the ground.

"Reinforcement Magic... Big Clunky Armour! Reinforcement Magic, Fortified Skin!"

With two bright lights that wrapped arojnd Kotaman, a large, brown bulky armour with balled joints and loosely attached parts that made noise which each movement appeared over her entire body, her blue skin turning rough to the extent that its shade grew lighter!

Even as she bled with her face showing the agony she was feeling, Kotaman tried to save her own life!

"Kotaman! Are you alright?!" Hafuman who was a distance asked with concerned as he ripped another page from his Holder but...

Unfortunately for him, darkness covered his vision, blinding him from everything else.

...!

"Hafuman!" Kotaman screamed as she saw her companion be devoured in a cube-shaped mass of darkness!

She was about to rush over to him when another burst of horrific force hammered her into the sludgy ground with atrocious might forcing up dirt and watery ooze!

While her armour did shield her from much of the force, Kotaman was still bleeding from the nose when her body crashed against the hard ground underneath!

Because of how sudden the attack had been, her Holder had fallen from her hands and onto the muddy surface a few meters away.

Two seconds after it fell through, dark blue strings that emerged out of nowhere wrapped around it, twisting unnervingly for a couple of seconds before withdrawing from the Holder!

Kotaman tried to reach out of the hole she had be pummelled into but another bout of force smashed into her, then another and another and another and...

It barely took ten hits for Kotaman to be crushed under the force and weight of whatever was attacking her, her life being squeezed out of her body.

At the moment of her death, the Holder half-sinking into a small distance from his exploded into cute spots of light.

On Kotaman's side, his sudden appearance in the cube of darkness rattled him quite a bit.

He immediately felt a horrendous weakness that stunted his ability to move and fought against his magic!

He wasn't aware, but a spinning Projected figure was with him in this mass of darkness, now being aware of any and all things that were touched by [Evil Darkness] within this domain!

The puppet behind him was instantly destroyed by three orbs of darkness, leaving him free!

The Projected Skullius had utilised all the orbs he had to create this cube of darkness after seeing his visual capabilities being impaired and it was working like a charm!

Having to spin in one place was detrimental only to those with physical bodies as it would disorient them by confusing their bodily fluids.

This wasn't true for Skullius in his Projected form but he preferred to know what was around him.

Hafuman gnashed his teeth as he tried to summon the strength to move but ten objects which he couldn't even perceive within the darkness arouund flashed through him without remorse, turning him into a bloody mess!

Immediately after, the domain of darkness was dispelled and Skullius regained his steady, flying stance.

'That was easier than I thought..' he mused in his mind.

Seeing that the other Bookworm had been taken care of as well, Skullius rushed towards Sila who was massacring the weaker Cluster beasts.

However...

"YOU DARE KILL MY TWO GENIUSES?!" a loud voice bellowed from a hilly pile of mud, a powerful Bookworm being seen as it wore a ferocious expression, a crude but chilling wave of mana storming in every direction from its body!

It was the Cluster General, Bragmaster!

Sila halted his massacre as he looked at the creature that bellowed, opening up its Holder which had a dull golden glow around it, a beautiful mix of gold and red adorning the cover.

"IT TOOK YEARS TO CULTIVATE SUCH SMART STUDENTS! HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW SMART I HAD TO BE TO TEACH THEM HOW TO USE THEIR HOLDERS?! THIS SMART!"

Bragmaster tore two pages from his Innate Holder and flung one into the mud and the other into the air.

Two powerful spells had just been used.

Two spells from a rather powerful source.

Transmutation Magic!

Both pages glowed bright, one in the mud and the other in the air with two phenomenal aspects occurring after!

Transmutation Magic, Floodful Vortex!

Transmutation Magic, Vile Poison!

The mud within a 400 meter radius swiftly turned into a flood of clear water, beginning to swirl around as first, it created a whirlpool and then rose while forming a massive vortex!

The still air within the same range started to gain a dark hue, promptly turning into a corrosive poison that was drawn to the water vortex that had been conjured!

Sila and the other Bookworms within range were swept up by the ferocious vortex of water, their bodies being flung into the thick of the poison.

"YOU SEE?! YOU SEE HOW SMART I AM?!" Bragmaster called.
