A crack appeared on the barrier after slashing the barrier continuously for a few seconds. The moment the crack appeared a smile appeared on Lucius' face.
Lucius was even more motivated than before, he kept slashing the crack on the barrier. With each swing, the cracks grew larger and larger.
Seeing this, the bandits who had grins on their faces until now had become pale.
"Guys we need to prevent him from escaping!" A bandit who was fighting with his summons shouted.
The other bandits nodded their heads but their hands were occupied by the summons so they couldn't do anything even before they wanted to do.
The rain of the ball of flames had decreased considerably, hence he could take care of most of them white relentlessly striking the barrier.
However, the pain throughout the muscle of Lucius was starting to increase as time went on. Lucius knew that he must finish this off quickly if he wanted to break the barrier.
"I will have to destroy the barrier quickly," Lucius thought to himself as he relentlessly slashed the barrier.
A minute or two later, the rain of balls of flame all of a sudden stopped which caused Lucius to frown heavily.
He looked at the mages and saw the magic circle from where the ball of flame was coming out disappear like a lie. Lucius smiled when he saw this.
"Maybe he has run out of mana," Lucius thought to himself as he halted the slashing for a second when he said this.
He was about to resume slash. However, just as he was to resume the slash, he saw the mage gulped down a potion. The mage with his eyes closed abruptly opened his eyes.
Then a magic circle appeared around the mage who had his eyes closed. Just a few seconds later, small particles began to move towards the broken parts of the barrier.
The barrier absorbed the particles, and the moment the particles were absorbed, the crack in the barrier began to close at an incredible speed.
"Shit" Lucius cursed when he saw this.
Lucius quickly resumed the slashing of the barrier when he saw this. He landed dozens of slashes in just a matter of a few minutes.
He couldn't slow down the recovery of the barrier no matter how many times he slashed the barrier with all his strength. In a few seconds, the barrier had completely regained its former glory.
Not only that, but the barrier was also just stronger than before. Lucius couldn't even dent the newly recovered barrier so he just gave up for now.
"I can't destroy the barrier for now so I should just forget about it for now." Lucius decided.
He looked around him and saw that around 2 of the bandits inside the barrier hadn't noticed that the barrier had recovered completely.
"I will try to kill the two of them," Lucius thought to himself.
He turned his attention to the mages who were standing outside. He saw that the mage who had created the rain of balls of flame was preparing to cast another spell.
Meanwhile, the one who had repaired the barrier had fallen to the ground probably because of exhausted mana.
"I will have to kill some of the guards before he casts the spell. I will also create more summons" Lucius thought to himself.
Lucius canceled muscle enchantment since it was going to take some time to cast summoning magic and keeping the skill activated would be a waste.
Lucius began to channel the mana in his body uniquely. A few seconds later, two magic circles appeared on the ground. Two summons began to materialize above the magic circle. Within a minute the summons were completed.
Two notifications flashed in his retina, he just took a glance at it.
(You have summoned 2 Flame Warrior)
(Your mana has decreased by 160
Current available mana: 143)
The two newly summoned Flame Warriors bowed their heads toward him as they awaited his orders.
"Go and try to kill the two of them" Lucius commanded them using their special connection as he pointed towards the bandits.
The summon nodded and hurriedly rushed towards the bandits. The bandits cursed when they saw this.
"Damn it, he has summoned more of his minions. It's going to be difficult to fight with them" A bandit shouted.
This drew the attention of other bandits, they were focused on the two new summons for a few seconds. With no intention of letting this opportunity take them down.
Lucius charged towards a bandit whose back was unguarded to kill.
"It would have been good if I could activate the muscle enhancement but I don't want to waste mana," Lucius mumbled in an inaudible tone.
In the middle of charging, a notification flashed in his retina he took a glance but was very happy when he read the details.
(You have stalled the enemies for 25 minutes )
(As a reward you have earned 25k exp)
(Your level has increased by 2)
(You have leveled up to 8)
(All your stats have increased randomly)
(Current stats:
Health: 258 (Increased by 23)
Strength: 89+(8)= 97. (Increased by 7)
Stamina: 136 ( Increased by 23)
Speed: 100 (Increased by 9)
Defense: 94 (Increased by 11)
Necromancer Blessings (Unique stat): 50 (Increased by 5)
Mana:467 (Increased by 10)
Intelligence: 96+96= 192 ( Increased by 12) )
When Lucius saw the notification flashing in his retina, his eyes began to shine like stars in the sky.
"There couldn't have been a better time for me to level up," Lucius thought to himself.
Lucius ignored the dozens of notifications that were flashing in his retina. However, he felt strength overflowing throughout his body.
This was because the mana and Stamina had been restored to the peak condition since he had leveled up.
"I will use the Greatsword Art," Lucius thought to himself as he charged towards the bandit.
Lucius began to channel the mana throughout his body. A few seconds later a notification flashed in his retina signaling that he had activated muscle enhancement.
(You have used muscle enhancement)
(You have consumed 150 mana to activate muscle enhancement. Your strength will increase by 2 temporarily for every mana point you invested
Current available mana: 317)
Lucius felt slight pain throughout his body but he ignored it and kept charging towards the bandit.
When he was 50 cm away from the bandit, the bandit finally noticed as he turned around.
"Shitt!" The bandit cursed.
However, it was far too late for him to dodge since Lucius the distance between Lucius and him was just a few cm from him.
The bandit couldn't even block the attack with his sword since he was too busy fading off the attacks of the summon with his sword.
He knew if he didn't block the attacks of summons, then his heart would be stabbed by the summon in the next second.
"Face it, there is no one who can stop you from the hands of Death" Lucius declared, his voice carrying murderous intent.
When Lucius got close enough, he shouted.
"Greatsword Art, First movement, Great Sword strikes" Lucius shouted.
Lucius slashed the back of the bandit a dozen times within 5 seconds. During this time dozens of notifications flashed in Lucius' retina.
(You have dealt 86 damage)
(You have dealt 106 damage)
(You have dealt 74 damage)
Such a similar notification flashed in his retina for a few seconds. He ignored them.
Lucius' sword was covered in blood from the bandit, the bandit was bleeding from his back like water coming out from a broken dam.
However, the bandit was still standing upright. Lucius frowned when he saw this.
"Just how much health does he have? I will have to finish him quickly" Lucius exclaimed as he looked at the mages outside the barrier.
The one who was casting a spell was almost done but he didn't seem to care that his ally was about to die.
"Finish him off" Lucius ordered his summons as he was to stab the heart of the bandit.
Just as he was about to stab the heart of the enemy, something incredible happened that caused his face to become pale.
"What is this?" Lucius exclaimed.
