Chapter 49: Magilore Armor, Action
"Time for some action, but only for me," Aleron said. "I will handle it myself."
He left the carriage and immediately saw a legendary-rank Infernal Chain Rhino rushing at the carriage.
'Flow it steadily and shape it just as I designed and imagined it.'
Aleron's body was fluidly wrapped in concentrated Magilore that looked like a beautiful lapis blue translucent humanoid armor enveloping him, appearing like a golem with Aleron in the center.
The incoming powerful Infernal chain Rhino was coming while burning the trees and suddenly glowed fiercely as if it used some skills, shooting at Aleron like a raging rocket with its horn and chains around its horn and neck shining more intensely.
In the next half a second, its horn was just half a meter away from Aleron.
This Legendary-rank Infernal Chain Rhino had stats around 7-9k while Aleron's stats were at 5k, at the peak of Epic-rank.
This Rhino had used the special and most deadly skill it usually uses to hunt its target, giving it a sudden burst of speed prior to its deadly attack.
No other random Legendary rank, even if it had higher stats than this Rhino, would be able to dodge this attack easily and if it was stuck, the result was always instant death.
Moreover, it had a Legendary-rank Bloodline, meaning that this Rhino was born from Exceed-rank Rhinoes.
All monsters below Exceed-rank who had a Bloodline were either rarely mutated by nature or had Exceed-rank parents who spread their seeds by mating everywhere.
Since it was a Legendary-rank monster with the same rank as Bloodline, it was the direct descendent-one of the overlords of this forest.
People would either run or distract it and then run, but 99% of people wouldn't take this route for travel.
That was how powerful this Infernal Chain Rhino and the other four Auras that were approaching the carriage were.
However, Aleron's face had a grin stretched on it and its fist was already at its head.
When Rhino's horn neared half an inch, Aleron's thick fist enveloped in this concentrated Magilore stuck the Rhino's head, below its horn.
'Smash.'
Since his control of Magilore was flawless, his speed of swinging the fist far surpassed the speed of swinging his fist by solely using his physical body, which was why he wasn't controlling his physical body, but this Magilore Armor that was attached to his body. *Booom!*
The moment his fist struck, Aleron's first sequence skill activated: Mirco-scatter.
A jarring sound burst out along with an intense shockwave to all sides. It was as if a thick gale of wind was moving in a linear direction at the speed of several kilometers per second!
It far surpassed the speed of sound and these speedy blade-like thin wind waves that shot out of Aleron's fist-Micro-scatter as he called it, utterly destroyed the Rhino as not even its bones remained. Everything turned powder except for its core, which Aleron prevented from getting destroyed.
'Damn, I just utilized wind syllabus's simple skill and this Magilore Armor boosted it to this extent!'
"More are coming," Rias came out of the carriage and stood beside him. In her hand was an incense that she had lightened five minutes ago when they entered the forest.
Yueha also arrived and stood beside Rias as she looked at the incense. "How long will this last?"
"Ten minutes."
Aleron laughed, "Great. I'll go and have some fun."
'I'll try the new elemental syllabuses I comprehended,' Aleron grinned and vanished from his spot, arriving a hundred meters away, not with force but with a fluid transposition of wind.
Just like how wind would flow around the woods and obstacles to move forward, Aleron gracefully passed through the wood silently and saw an Amirite Silverback Kong with four arms dark silver-plated body rushing in his direction.
'Nope, I am not gonna wait for you,' Aleron stretched his hand forward before a black orb with purple flames whirling inside conjured and dropped into his shadow, right before emerging out of the Kong's shadow and striking its balls.
Fortunately, it didn't feel any pain because it already turned into ash in the next second, not even leaving only its monster core.
'Hmm, that's not ideal. I gotta adjust the output of Magilore in my attacks enough that it destroys them but not their core.'
Aleron's eyes flashed as he vanished from his spot again and appeared near the carriage as a black jaguar-like beast with glowing yellow spots was approaching the carriage.
*Crack...*
Aleron's body was making crackling sounds since it was greatly exerted with him going beyond its limit. But this was a good way to stabilize the rapid growth of power his body just
had.
Aleron felt a sweet pain and he liked it as his eyes slightly rolled upward while his fist squarely struck the jaguar.
*Boom!*
Micro-Scatter!
The monster vanished, leaving only its core that Aleron sent into his system inventory. "More," Aleron grinned as he swiftly captured more aura and activated his Ocular-skill that he upgraded after reading books in Royal Palace's library.
'I'll add an addition that measures a monster's toughness from its stats and powers based on a rough estimate. This way, I can instantly adjust my output after glancing at the monster.' Aleron's eyes glinted as his Magilore Armor suddenly oozed out a huge umbrella of sand that compacted together above him and the carriage.
From above, a two-head Dark Flame Vulture of legendary-rank had released a powerful offensive attack of two black-colored flame orbs with a bunch of high magic syllabuses from its two heads.
The sand umbrella that Aleron made turned strangely sleek with golden patterns a moment before those attacks struck it.
*Booom!*
*Booom!*
Not even a spec of black wisp remained on it. Those two attacks were completely nullified.
*Hitrssss*
The two-headed vulture released a raspy hissing but before it could do anything further, a black spear with purple flame patterns struck it.
*Swoosh*
The wind rustled and took along its ashes while the monster core fell before Aleron, having successfully controlled his output this time.
"Yes!" Aleron grinned.
'This Purple Ruin Syllabus is quite powerful, combining aspects of Flame Syllabus, Water
Syllabus, and Darkness Syllabus to create this destructive energy.'
He had learned it in the Royal Palace's library and decided to try it.
Naturally, Rias was watching all of this and she was utterly dumbfounded upon seeing Purple
Ruin in action twice.
'H-He really learned it.'
