Chapter 154: Hell Rolling
The operational mechanism of the Mana Academy’s construct ensured it would never abandon its golem to attack a student.
Dark was very clear about this, which was also the main reason he dared to use the construct to test the magic cards.
Of course, if he hadn’t run into this today, he wouldn’t have taken such a needless risk.
“First is the ‘Barrier Spell’!”
…
The Moon Eevee let out a low roar, the evil aura emanating from its body brewing slightly before suddenly erupting!
“Evil Fluctuation!”
The pitch-black aura swept around like a storm.
But the Dragoon Construct swung its large sword, charging forward like the wind.
The airflow spewed from the large sword broke through the aura field.
The vast Evil Fluctuation was forcibly split into a triangular path.
It moved forward without hesitation, as if a sword saint, with one slash sending the air swirling.
“Barrier Spell!”
In that instant.
An air wall the size of a brick appeared in front of the Dragoon Construct’s toes.
Despite its coordination not being particularly high, the Dragoon Construct was tripped up by this small trick!
When it finally managed to get up, Dark already had another magic card in hand.
“Magic Bullet Spell!”
Dark injected mana into the card, and a fist-sized mana bomb quickly formed and shot out instantly!
“Pffft.”
The mana bomb exploded on the Dragoon Construct’s arm guard, creating a flower of mana.
Yet, it didn’t leave even a scratch.
The Dragoon Construct’s strength level was clearly higher than the four-star Moon Eevee, so it was natural for it to be unaffected by the “Magic Bullet Spell.”
Dark was not discouraged.
After falling down, the Dragoon Construct stood up again, swinging its large sword at the Moon Eevee.
The Moon Eevee, stirred up with ferocity, flew straight at it and grabbed the large sword before it could be raised.
But immediately after, it was blasted away by the airflow emitted from the large sword!
At this point, the Moon Eevee had consumed a lot of mana.
But under the light of “Moonlight,” its mana was gradually recovering.
…
Seeing the Moon Eevee had exhausted all its strength,
Dark promptly took out the next magic card and silently chanted the “Sacrificial Summoning Spell”!
“Using the Mana Beast: Moon Eevee as a sacrifice, I summon — ‘Big Milk Jar’!”
Although this was his first time using the Moon Eevee as a sacrifice for the summoning,
the card indeed turned into a four-star after the Mana Beast: Eevee evolved.
Summoning a four-star with a four-star sacrifice met all the conditions for the “Sacrificial Summoning Spell.”
—This was a common tactic used by magi.
The fewer sacrifices used, the higher the quality of the sacrifice needed.
Using a low-quality magic card to summon a high-quality magic card with a single sacrifice increased the failure rate of the summoning spell.
Especially when the sacrifice was heavily damaged, the likelihood of summoning failure could skyrocket!
Even if successful, there would be a lack of mana.
Therefore, when a magus used a single sacrifice to change their magic golem, they might turn the tables or meet their end.
Fortunately, the Moon Eevee’s mana gradually recovered to standard levels under the influence of “Moonlight.”
Dark’s single-sacrifice summon did not fail this time.
As the Mana Beast: Moon Eevee faded into light, a new magic golem replaced it in the castle.
“Moo—”
A pink, cute dairy cow appeared amid excited mooing, sitting on the ground, its tail wagging rapidly.
…
The sudden switch of the magic golem caused the Dragoon Construct’s thinking circuits to momentarily stall.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dark immediately commanded, “Big Milk Jar, become round!”
The Big Milk Jar, upon receiving its master’s command, curled its body into a sphere, causing a metallic sheen to appear on its surface, instantly increasing its defense from 2000 to 3000 points!
At this moment, the Dragoon Construct had regained its senses.
It stepped forward, holding the large sword upside down, charging toward the Big Milk Jar.
The airflow swirling around the sword blade grew stronger, seemingly preparing for a powerful move.
Dark immediately shouted, “Roll, Big Milk Jar!”
“Moo!”
The Big Milk Jar responded, its soft gaze turning sharp.
Facing the Dragoon Construct, it fearlessly used “Sweep”!
With the “Become Round” enhancement, the basic power of the sweep doubled.
Dark watched the battle site intently.
Testing the “Sweep” skill was the primary goal of this battle.
As the Big Milk Jar started rolling, its speed gradually increased, and its momentum kept rising.
But it also indicated that at the beginning of the roll, when the speed was not yet established, it was easy to be interrupted.
However, once the speed picked up, it was hard to stop.
Facing the iron ball-like charge of the Big Milk Jar, the Dragoon Construct abruptly stopped, standing with its feet apart, and the large sword swung out horizontally!
The airflow swirling around the sword blade had formed a gale, roaring fiercely!
If it were a light, small magic golem like Huhu, it might have been blown away to who knows where just by being near it.
“BOOM!”
The pink ball broke through the gale, colliding forcefully with the large sword!
“Hah!”
The Dragoon Construct suddenly roared, tightening its stance, and burst forth with arm strength, barely stopping the Big Milk Jar’s “Sweep”!
Seeing the Big Milk Jar’s rolling speed slowing down, the light on Dark’s magic card suddenly shone.
An additional push arrived.
The short cooldown “Push Spell” was used a second time.
The Big Milk Jar was pushed forward forcefully, nearly knocking the large sword out of the Dragoon Construct’s hands!
Then, after making a large arc turn, the Big Milk Jar launched a second collision!
The second collision doubled the force!
During its rolling, Dark took out the “Invisibility Spell.”
The Big Milk Jar’s figure disappeared completely after a brief interval.
The Dragoon Construct’s judgment circuits froze for a moment.
This momentary freeze led to a misjudgment in its evasion.
The Big Milk Jar rolled over its left side, pushing it back several steps!
Immediately followed by the third collision!
As the rolling speed and power increased, evading became increasingly difficult.
The Dragoon Construct had no choice but to use the large sword as a shield, blocking in front of it.
But the large sword was actually knocked away by the impact!
Fourth roll!
With the “Become Round” enhancement, the power of the roll had increased sixteenfold!
The Dragoon Construct could no longer block it, and the entire construct was sent flying.
“Bang!”
It collided with the wall, making a loud noise.
Obvious signs of disarray appeared all over its body.
…
“Stop, Big Milk Jar.”
Dark gave the order.
The Big Milk Jar braked urgently, preventing further crushing of the Dragoon Construct.
The trial ended here.
At the same time, the battle on the bridge had already come to a close.
