The Mysterious Black Magician

Staring at the approaching Kiko who was being chased by the Mustang Spider, Yman steadied his breathing. Watching that person's gaze to him, and the way he lured the monster towards him, he was 99% sure that this idiot was up to something not good.

Kiko was grinning inside seeing that Yman was standing alone in a safe distance at their back. He was not in resonance with his deity. What a perfect scenario to kill this frog. If the Mustang Spider able to collide at him. For sure he was dead meat!

And him? No one would suspect him. After all, it was easy to find a reason. Just several seconds it took that he neared that guy.

The others were having different outlook at the current situation. Chloe, Bob, and Mai were having stupefied faces. .

Almina on the other hand was tailing the monster and Kiko with all her might. She was able to cut one of the monster's hind legs. But it didn't stop and continued chasing after Kiko, while Almina lost her pace. Because of this, the monster lost her tails.

The blonde girl and the smiling guy had puzzled faces. On the other hand, many in the audience were having dumbfounded faces. They don't like that person, but it was still too cruel to die here. Although, it was his fault for coming on the battlefield without his deity's resonance.

However, none of them thought that Kiko did it on purpose. In their's perspective, Kiko just wanted to get rid of the monster from focusing its attack on him.

The principal was speechless. While beads of sweats were forming on his face.

Some shook their heads. While Instructor Goki wanted to rush. But he was held by his co-instructors. They said it was too late. In any case, that person was unimportant. What important was to hasten those young trainees who had visible talent. And let go of the untalented one. If he died here, then there was only his bad luck to blame.

And it was his fault for being arrogant, he went into the battle without his deity's resonance.

Hearing this — he felt he was being showered by cold water all over his body.

Instructor Goki had mad expressions while staring coldly at his co-instructors. He was wondering what these people were saying. They just stood here while watching a death that about to happen? It was okay because that guy was unimportant? Because he was untalented? In the first place, he doesn't want to agree with this fight. If not because of the principal, he would not let this fight happen.

"Wtf world! Fuck off!" He shrugged off the hand that was holding him and ran towards where the trainees were fighting. But he was too late.

'This is it! You die, Frog!' Kiko screamed inside his mind after he passed by on Yman.

Yman shook his head. People who were full of hate tend to lose their reasonings: "Im-be-cile." A word was shot to that person as he passed by. The way he muttered that word was not loud and was not low. Just as normal as conversing with someone. And Kiko heard it clear.

After hearing Yman's words he felt he gulped something bitter in his throat. But it happened only in an instant before a smirk appeared on his mouth. No matter what this person was saying. In the end, he would die today. Hehe! And they could not blame him, since he was not the one who did it. He was not even touching him. Everyone would think that it was just an unlucky accident.

'Hehe, blame yourself for being arrogant coming here without your deity!' Kiko shouted on Yman's arrogance. After shouting this in his mind, he glanced behind him to witness how that guy's body being torn by the monster.

But to his dismay, the expected scene did not happen.

The Mustang Spider leaped overhead on Yman. It was like — the monster was avoiding touching him.

Kiko was dumbfounded. Even the other trainees, the instructors, the soldiers from the empire, and even the principal — all of them that were watching from the distance were dumbfounded.

The monster directly landed on Kiko who paused from running. Kiko staggered and fell butt first on the ground.

He was using his sword to block the monster's rapid attack using its spear-like legs.

Yman noticed that the monster could not use its web attack. He sighed. He wanted to see Kiko in such a state.

"Hehe, listen to me everyone! Our benevolence teammate offered himself as a good bait! Let's not waste his courage. Or his sacrifice was it? Regardless, let's proceed to plan C!"

Ehhhh?!!

'Wait, did we have a plan C?' Bob thought.

Yman noticed that his teammates were having second thoughts.

"Chloe!" He shouted at her.

"Y-Yes!" Chloe with the body that was glowing in bright green colors of mana replied to Yman.

<Goodluck, Chloe.> Looks like her deity knows she was troubled and cheered her.

Most of them were enveloped by bright green mana. Since all of them were having a breakthrough below 10%(level 10). Only Yman that wasn't glowing.

Chloe stored back her magical pistol. And aimed her right hand below the monster to where was Kiko laying trying to defend himself from the monster's attack. W-Well, she believes her magic could not kill him. But it might hurt him a bit. Her left hand was supporting her right hand.

A moment later, her right hand was enveloped by energies with purple color. And a sphere of purple-colored appeared below the monster.

Then it exploded.

The ground cave in and the monster's body hovered in the air and was flipped when landed.

Below the monster, Kiko with white eyes was being pinned by the monster's huge body.

Seeing this situation, Yman grinned.

"Miss Almina!"

"Yes!" She dashed and slashed all the monster's legs. Almina followed him without any questions. Her cheeks even went rosy when he called her name.

After losing all its legs, the monster had no way to retaliate or overturn its massive body. And Yman was checking on its health points not to drop at 30% to avoid activating the ability of Magic Cryst.

"Now archer!" Yman shouted.

But no archer fired. He looked behind him. Just to see a cold gaze from that blonde.

"Hey, you! What are you doing?" He asked with a sneer. He was already tired and wanted to finish this fight.

"Shut up! Did you forget what I said a while ago? I don't want a weakling to order me!" And she replied.

Almina knitted her brows: "Hmph, this girl is too callous," she muttered.

Yman sighed: |This girl is a pain in the ass.| He thought.

"I'm not too sure about that blonde." Suddenly, the smiling guy said and dashed towards the monster while summoning a javelin with 3 meters long.

Seconds later the javelin was enveloped by green mana and he threw it directly on the monster's butt.

The monster's head was not easy to pierce from the back of its forehead or below. Because it had a hard shell protecting it. It was protecting pretty well the Magic Cryst on its forehead. So Yman instructed them that their only choice was to pierce it from its butt towards the monster's forehead.

And so the javelin he thrown pierced through its butt and hit the Magic Cryst from behind. They were shocked by the power of the javelin.

The Magic Cryst popped up and it bounced and rolled on the ground before it stopped.

All of them sighed in relief seeing the monster health points dropped at 10% and it did not heal itself again.

Kiko was being pinned below the monster and could not make a move. He almost lost his consciousness from Chloe's shockwave. If not because of his Mana Membrane ability he might die already. But right now his health points were at most 150 left.

He was enraged but he could not do anything in his current situation. He wanted to kill that frogman! He really was puzzled why this monster leaped and did not hit that guy.

Chloe after she fired that shockwave had lost her strengths and the resonance with her deity Jazz, already canceled. Same with her, Mai also already exhausted her mana and was resting beside Chloe. Together with their deities.

Almina was about to finish the monster's life when suddenly it was enveloped by dark red energies. And it was oozing with killing intent and murderous aura. Everyone felt the eerie sensation. Their knees were about to lost strength. The body of the monster slowly changes its color into dark red. Then rolled rapidly. Because of this the guy below it — Kiko had struggled and tried to push the monster's enormous body.

They could hear the other people far behind them were shouting. But none of them understands what those people were shouting.

Yman knows this was the moment. The crazy mode!

"B-Bob!"

Yman who was having difficulty maintaining on feet had managed to call out for Bob.

"Yosh!"

Bob's body muscles suddenly were bulking. His body muscles grow bigger and veins were surfacing everywhere on his body. Even his eyes change into a reddish color. Then he jumped in front of the oozing monster. And tried to stop its rotation.

Yman sneered at the person below it. He could order Almina to finish the monster. Or let Bob pushed the monster to save that guy. But he did not do it. He wanted that guy to die miserably first. After all, he was the first one who had thought of such a thing towards him. He could not let such a dangerous person live. Anyone that could harm his and her sister's life was not worth letting live.

No one among them knows what he was thinking at the moment. No one among them knew what Yman and his sister went through in their childhood.

In order to survive in such a society, he needed to have a cold heart. Or else, he would not live long. He would never be able to see that smile of his sister. In order to avoid that from happening, he must be colder than any glaciers in the world.

Kiko could not even make a noise since his stomach was being pinned by the monster's rotating body. No one even noticed his miserable state. No one except for Yman.

"Yman, bro, I could not hold any longer!" Bob shouted and it was clear from his face that he was at his limit.

"Just a little more..." he was waiting for Kiko to die.

Bob's veins were about to pop out from its muscle while fending the monster.

Yman noticed Kiko already lost the resonance with his deity. Looks like his health points already reached zero. And now blood and wounds started to appear all over his body.

Suddenly,

BANG!

The monster was sent flying towards the forest and crushes all the trees it passes by. Someone punched it.

"This battle is over." Instructor Goki's voice resonates.

He glanced at Kiko's state and frowned. Then he hastily called for a healer.

Later on. Kiko luckily managed to survive in a thin as thread luck. If Goki had been late for one second, Kiko would already be buried deep down below the ground.

Among them all, only two people had seen through Yman's sinister plan at the end part of the battle.

Goki was wondering why that monster did not hit Yman.

But the smiling guy was the one who answered him instead.

He first praised Yman saying that he really was a wise commander.

He said that the spider loves having a living meal. And it saw Yman as a meal from the beginning. Since he was the monster's meal, he must live until the monster decided to eat him. It only attacks those it deemed dangerous. But because Yman was not in his resonance. It was looking at him as a harmless being and was treating him as a food that shouldn't be touched.

In this regard, Yman was the safest in their group. Because that monster would kill first the harmful entity around it.

Goki gawked. His admiration for Yman hit the peak.
