Chapter 450 A Flying Broom!
"[Spirit Infusion]! [Spirit Fusion]! [Pathway]! And…!"
[Two [Potential Cube (D Rank)] have been utilized on [Wind Imbued Plain Old Broom (No Rank)]!]
[The [Wind Imbued Plain Old Broom (No Rank)] has evolved into a D Rank Magic Staff!]
[It has gained the Potential Abilities [Levitate (D)] [Flight (D)] [Mana Engine (D)] [Shape Enlargement (D)]!]
FLUOOOSH!
The broom suddenly began floating in midair, as if it had gained life of its own. The power of the wind spirit I put inside was clear, he was happy it worked.
"N-No way…" I gasped.
"I-It actually worked?!" Mark wondered.
"YES! We\'re done here! It\'s finally done!" Rita laughed evilly, quickly trying to sit over the broom. "Ahh, now fly- Ouch! Oh my god this is so painful! My ass hurts!"
"Well, who said sitting on a thin and hard wooden stick would feel nice?" I sighed.
"B-But they do it so happily all the time in the fairy tales and movies!" Rita complained. "Can\'t you become more comfortable?"
FLUOSH!
The broom suddenly began growing longer, but it couldn\'t shape itself into something comfortable. However, because it can enlarge itself, many people can sit over there at the same time. All three of us quickly sat over it, as it slowly started to hover.
"Ouch, my ass…" Rita complained.
"Yes, it really hurt, my ass is already burning." I sighed.
"T-This is even more uncomfortable for men…" Mark sighed.
Ah, I can tell why he\'s saying that.
"C-Come on, let\'s… go! Aaagh…" Rita muttered, as we began lifting up and down.
The broom absorbed Mana from the one using it, and it absorbed quite a lot. Rita was already getting drained of all the Mana and looked pale.
"Uuugggh… This shit sucks!" She cried.
"I told you it would be more convenient to just enchant a car." I sighed. "But I guess we can use this for emergencies."
"Agh, let\'s just walk." Rita sighed.
At the end we managed to fly like two hundred meters around town before we had to forcefully go down. I ended storing the flying broom inside my inventory for the time being.
"HAHAHAHA! That was way too funny! Did ya really thought it would work?!" The Great Spirit laughed at us.
"Hey, don\'t laugh at the girls! They had a dream, ya know?" Irene sighed.
"A stupid dream at that, just get a flying motorcycle or car, would be way more comfortable." Sighed Onyx.
"Your ability to hold on your pain for all this time was admirable, I was wrong about you, you\'re quite a strong man." Ignis said, praising Mark.
"Shut up…" Mark sighed, rubbing his backside.
Like that, we chatted and relaxed a bit, while seeking the presence of Hollows or Monsters. It was still around 5 PM, so it was as bright as every day. We decided to hunt as many Hollows and Monsters as we could find today to give ourselves the last enchantment before the fight against Phantasmos.
His deadly presence was now very, very close, and it will only grow closer in the next hours. I don\'t know what he\'s up to, but according to Mark\'s Falco, he said a large group of monsters the bird couldn\'t see completely was approaching.
There\'s already a big army around the town just standing around, incapable of entering due to the charms, I can\'t imagine yet another one added into the mix, it would certainly be utter hell on Earth.
"If it wasn\'t thanks to the Charms we set up last night, this entire town would had already been overrun by Hollows or even other monsters. People would had probably died." I sighed.
"Yeah, I guess we\'ve indirectly become their saviors already. Heheh, being a hero in the shadows has its charms, I give you that. Though I wouldn\'t mind a bit of fame and recognition either!" Rita giggled.
"I don\'t really mind not being recognized, as long as I can stop these damn things from hurting the nice and innocent people of this town…" Mark said, his fiery eyes filled with determination.
"Geez, so stiff! Say something more selfish for once…" Rita crossed her arms.
"Rita… I don\'t think this is really the place to talk so casually!" I said.
"GRUOOOOHHHHH!"
A gigantic red and black-colored bear charged at us, while over a dozen E Rank Hollows surrounded us. The bear monster was an E+++ Rank monster the Great Spirit called "Bear Tyrant", but he had been parasitized by Hollows imbued with Phantasmos ghostly powers, and had become a "Ghostly Bear Tyrant", a D Rank monster.
BAAAAAM!
The Bear\'s gigantic claws hit the ground, shattering the floor below us easily as his powerful hits generated shockwaves. Blue flames started to emerge around the affected areas, Phantasmal Flames!
"Get behind!" I said, as the shockwave of Phantasmal Flames was coming towards us. "[Elemental Shield]! [Life\'s Shield]!"
FLAAAASH!
My shield unleashed a powerful shield-shaped aura that stopped the enormous blast of Phantasmal Flames coming our way.
BOOOOOOOMMM!!!
The flames were completely purified by the shield\'s powers, but the bear took this opportunity to draw closer, swinging his gigantic claws against us. Unlike a normal bear, this behemoth was over five meters of height!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
I tanked the hits using my shield but I didn\'t knew how long I could keep this up.
We have to attack and finish this thing off as soon as we can!
"Blackie!"
"Meow!"
Blackie, who was already busy fighting the Hollows around us, quickly gave us a hand, extending is shadows as countless tentacles wrapped around the bear\'s legs.
"[Earth Spirit Call]! [Spirit Fusion]!"
Several spirits surged around us, as I hastily fused them together, a gigantic arm made of stone emerged out of the ground, punching the ravenous bear in the head and throwing it down into the floor!
BAAAAAMMM!!!
