Mage? Spell Engineer!

Going deeper into the cave, there are more and more broken stone shells, getting bigger and bigger.

"[Light Technique]?"

"No, there is a shimmer in the amber bubble now, so we can see the road clearly."

The two stayed close together, relying on the protection of the amber bubbles to enter the depths of the cave. Rorschach found fewer pink crystals penetrated and less sand contaminated by them.

Until there were no falling objects, it seemed like we had reached a peaceful space. The amber bubble shrank and returned to the surroundings of the beetle.

But at this time Rorschach and Ina were even more nervous, making every step as silently as possible.

The two of them had arrived inside the body of something. The so-called broken stone shell should be the slough of some kind of creature. They are now in a complete transformation.

Huge in size, no specific shape visible.

Bang, bang, bang.

At the end of the slough, something keeps hitting. There was no beastly roar, just a dull, stereotyped crash.

Then it stopped, and all that was left in the cave was darkness and silence, with a faint light emitting from the amber bubbles. This light originally guided the mage, but now it attracted something else. The dry earth and rocks were broken, and the sound of movement was like a snake rubbing against the ground, and there was the vibration of stepping hooves.

"Here we go, let's do it." Ina judged.

In order to see clearly who was coming, Rorschach raised his hand and cast a spell. It is not [Light Technique], but directly activates and converts the ether in the environment into the fire element, and a wide range of fire burns and illuminates the battlefield.

What came out of the fire was not the giant beast or deer-headed god that Rorschach had expected, but a bloated lump of earth. Then it was identified as a giant creature. Its head was so huge that it hung directly on the ground and was pushed away by its body. The first thing Rorschach and Ina saw was its head.

The structure inside the slough is irregular and wide, barely allowing monsters to move around. The monster lost its way in the flames. Instead of charging directly at the mage, it rushed randomly in the shed. When he turned sideways towards Rorschach, he saw that the monster was very funny. Behind the huge head was a stiff and long neck, a relatively short body like a cow and a camel, and only the body of an elephant.

It's like a shield machine welded in front of the excavator. The more nervous Rorschach is, the more he likes to think wildly.

Ina analyzed the monster's behavior: "It has no intelligence. Looks like Catoblepas?" She did not further explain the source, but recalled the recorded weaknesses: "Legend has it that it is close to the water source, but it exudes poison. I couldn’t lift my head.”

Rorschach observed the monster's body. Its skin was grayish-yellow, dry, and hard in texture. The fire left no trace. The fire gradually disappeared, and the monster finally locked the position of the visitor, and the ugly head plowed the ground.

Ina and Rorschach did not stay any longer. They moved around trying to keep a certain distance from the monster.

But the distance was still getting closer, and the huge bodies collided at an unexpected speed. The dust and vibrations declared that its mere movement was a terrifying and irresistible violence.

Ina raised her hand, and six surrounding and rotating silver stars condensed above her head. She guided the stars to launch rapidly one after another, aiming at the monster's eyes. Three stars each sank into the monster's eyes, exploding into silver light and dust.

dust? After the eye sockets were shattered and enlarged, Rorschach and Ina saw clearly that the so-called eyes were just two craters.

At a closer distance, Rorschach could clearly see the skin of Catoblepas. The gray-yellow skin was more like cracks on a dry river bed than scales, and it continuously disintegrated into fine dust as it moved.

It was indeed a corpse, unmistakably dead. Not only was he dead, but as he got closer, Rorschach felt that his skin was drying out, as if it was about to crack.

"It's not poisonous, it's the smell of decay and death." Rorschach concluded. He moved with all his strength, but still passively shortened the distance from the dead beast.

Ina suddenly jumped into the air and then cast a spell on Rorschach. The young man felt that his whole body was light, and he was "thrown" into the air after losing gravity.

It seems that flying up is not the same magic. Ina floats steadily in the air, while Rorschach almost falls and heads to the ground. "Hold on. This guy can't even lift his head. We have better maneuverability in the air."

"With my journey, I will prove my heart, defeat the enemy and save the people, and shine in the world." Ina flew into the sky and had the opportunity to sing. She ended her chanting, and her whole body overflowed with milky white soft light. Then this ray of light condensed, changed from soft to sharp, and turned into a silvery ray of light.

? Rorschach did not expect that the ray would pass through him first, and then sweep down diagonally towards the monster.

What spell can identify friend and foe? Rorschach was surprised to find that the decaying aura he had received before seemed to have been expelled, and the monster penetrated by the ray had obviously been severely damaged. Many pieces of earth collapsed, and now they were broken pottery figurines, with an ominous death aura exuding from the broken hollows.

There is an additional magic on the panel, [Vinya's Light (Gray)]. Rorschach didn't have time to take a closer look, since it was gray and useless.

"Not an evil creature."

"A mere corpse."

After making a judgment, Ina chose the [Stone Claw Technique], and a strong and powerful hand made of stone broke out of the ground and pressed Catoblepas' slender neck to the ground.

"Rorschach, attack quickly, [Stone Claw Technique] won't last long." The three attack spells cost a lot of money, and Ina, who had been in a high-concentration ether environment for a long time, felt weak.

dust. Rorschach felt more and more that the beast was made of dry soil. He boldly tried an attack.

[Stone Shaping Technique], with a scope that surprised Ina, Rorschach reshaped the entire ground under the monster, making its head and body half-sink and then solidify into a solid surface. Then "Magic Mastery", without using any particular spell, he split the steps of [Stone Shaping] and first injected as much environmental ether under his control into the monster's body as possible.

When the ether invaded, Rorschach first felt the same as [Stone Shaping Technique] invading the earth element, but then he found another breath or energy resisting.

After the instant contact, Rorschach narrowed the scope and concentrated all the ether exerted by "Magic Control" on the head of Catoblepas, gaining the upper hand locally.

"Activate" and then continue injecting. Rorschach didn't want to shape it at all. It was difficult enough to suppress the unknown energy of the monster. He just input and "activated" it in the simplest and most direct way. The cracks like scale lines began to twist, and the monster's skin began to surge.

Just like when Rorschach failed to use [Stone Shaping Technique] for the first time, Catoblepas's head began to explode, and an orange-red breath that could decay the space spewed out.

Before it shattered, its empty eyes seemed to be staring at Rorschach in front of him. This giant beast never made a cry of its own. It was indeed a dead thing.

The amber bubble expanded again and enveloped the two of them. The target's body continued to fragment and erupt, and everything dissipated, leaving only a broken body.

A new shedding is born.

From the collapsed body, a gray and rotten head poked out. It was barely recognized as belonging to a sheep. Its skin and eye sockets were inlaid with pink crystals, and then there was a similarly rotten head of a lion inlaid with crystals. claw.

It squeezed out a roar that Catoblepas had never made before - a series of bursting sounds of bubbles in the mire, abhorring filth.

Thank you to all the book friends for your recommendation votes and encouragement! There are more and more book friends voting, so I won’t give specific thanks in the future. I can only look for opportunities to save manuscripts and add more updates to repay. I will probably have more updates after the holidays (anyway, I will not be who I am now)
