Chapter 16 - chapter 16

"While in the midst of the general discussing, his plans with Demon Lord Sophie and Crystal where training in an E-rank dungeon with iron golems.

 I used a magic shield; however, the iron golem's attack punched straight through my magical shield. Instinctively, I put my hands up to block, utilizing the Turtle Shell spell. It was an instinctive reaction, showing my improvement as I no longer needed to think about using it. 

Of course, even then, I was sent flying. Naturally utilizing my wings, I safely landed, though my arms had gone numb. I resorted to using healing magic fuck that hurt. These E-rank golems are even stronger than expected. It isn't just defense; they're about 70 times faster than F-rank ones. I found myself actually limited by the magic I was using, as I was trying to master the Turtle Shell spell after all.

After ten hours of constant battling, and having to use most of my magic to heal myself after acquiring injuries, my mana reserves had been cut in half."

"I smiled; I could feel it. I had finally reached the next level in Turtle Shell. Turtle Shell is a spell that concentrates all of its power on a single point, which is why being able to apply it at the last possible moment is crucial, since it leaves the rest of you vulnerable. This rapid deployment technique, combined with the magic itself, makes it one of the most efficient defenses of any defensive magic. However, if you go a step further, you will be able to use the spell to enhance your movements by applying it at the last possible moment before your body makes any movement.

And finally, with a smile, I appeared in front of the iron golem, punching repeatedly. Utilizing Lightning Shroud, and using the Wind Tunnel to direct the surrounding air around me, removing almost all of my air resistance, I used my speed to one-sidedly beat the iron golem take this you fucking bastard. Suddenly, the iron golem started glowing red; it was now able to match my speed. However, utilizing my wings, I took to the skies and then formed a blue vortex of flames and lightning. It's a combination of wind, fire, and lightning magic, and it didn't even seem to faze the golem. So, I used another spell, Molten Ice; a torrent of blue lava assaulted the golem. The golem started cracking, breaking into pieces. This is a dangerous spell to use, a combination of fire and ice magic. The problem is, it's both extremely hot and extremely cold at the same time, which causes unpredictable weather phenomena due to these two simultaneous extremes that are equal and opposite."

The wind started howling, and within a few seconds, lightning rained down indiscriminately. Iron golems are weak against acid and lightning-based attacks. Within 20 minutes, the storm had passed, and all the iron golems had been destroyed or killed holy shit. Honestly, I know they are monsters, but it's really hard to tell how being made out of iron is alive. I couldn't learn how it's moving because it's all freaking pieces. I think they might not be one solid piece but several solid pieces.

We headed to the boss room. The boss was the height of an adult human and very fat. It smelled horrible. I simply cast five spells and an eruption of flame. With each explosion of flames, the goblin boss was killed in a few seconds. We stepped onto the teleportation circle and exited, flying back to the teleportation network. We teleported back to the hub in Sydney. We proceeded to my house, taking a long and relaxing bath. Even though the Clean spell had already been used to actually clean ourselves, the bath was more for mental relaxation. 

Suddenly, my mother entered and smiled at us, saying, "Did you hear? There'll be a tournament, and the prize for the winner is the Twilight Staff." I was shocked. That's an extremely powerful artifact. It's not even just some piece of junk that happens to be an artifact; it's a functional artifact. My mother smiled and said, "I'll be training you so you can win. Though they announced there'll be a prize for each member of the top 10, and the top 100 would receive 100 million dollarydoos."
