Chapter 25: Injured Hands!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unlike Jack, who was good at assistance and control, Roosevelt’s magic attribute was metal.
This was a special attribute.
It could be considered a mutation of the earth attribute. After mutating into metal, it became sharper, and the defensive and offensive capabilities were enhanced.
Among those of the same level, Metal Mages were more destructive than Fire and Lightning Mages.
Only the rare Dark Mage could compete with a Metal Mage.
Of course, this was only about attack power.
The metal element was powerful because it was different from ordinary attributes which were good at long-range attacks. Metal Mages were good at close combat!
A close combat mage!
This was reflected well in Roosevelt.
Unlike the others who would wield a staff, he silently put on a metal glove.
This metal glove could change shape according to his will. For example, when he punched out, the glove would grow sharp spikes that would pierce through the opponent’s body.
Or when the other party attacked him, this metal glove could turn into a small round shield in front of him to protect his vital parts.
It could attack or defend.
Most mages were weak physically. After all, they cultivated magical elements instead of refining their body.
Although the magical elements could improve the body, there was only a slight effect. It could only make a mage’s body slightly better than an ordinary person’s.
If an ordinary mage encountered an opponent like Roosevelt, who would give a punch immediately with metal spikes emerging from the glove to pierce the enemy’s body, the enemy would be dead unless he was a Light Mage specialized in healing magic.
This was also the source of Roosevelt’s confidence.
He was completely confident that if he were to fight this great demonic creature in close combat, even if its level was higher than his, it would not be able to win.
“Roosevelt, be careful! It’s here!” As soon as he finished speaking, a group of evil spirits that flickered with a dark light surrounded him from all directions.
The spirits howled as they passed by, letting out strange cries that made one’s heart palpitate.
Jack and Roosevelt looked around very cautiously.
The strength of this great demonic creature was above the two of them.
They had to be 100% focused!
If they were not careful, they might die!
These evil spirits circled around the two of them continuously.
Jack’s water ring protected them both in the center.
Among the surrounding spirits, the main body of this great demonic creature should be hidden.
If they were to be ambushed by the enemy, it would be dangerous.
Jack waved the staff in his hand, and the water ring around him rippled out in all directions.
When the water ripples touched the spirits, small waves would appear.
There were so many spirits here, one of them was the main body of the great demonic creature while the rest were his clones.
When the water ripples touched the spirit, the clones and main body could be differentiated.
So at this moment, Jack was completely focused. He needed to find the main body of the great demonic creature through these minute differences.
Roosevelt was ready to attack too. Once Jack finds the enemy, he would immediately strike.
The metal glove on his hand emitted a sharp light that flowed continuously.
“This one!” Jack suddenly roared and pointed at a spirit, “Roosevelt, this is the real one!”
Roosevelt shouted and immediately attacked. He was very fast because he usually paid attention to training his physical fitness.
After years of training and the nourishment of magical elements, Roosevelt’s physical fitness was no less than that of professional athletes.
Black light surged in his right hand.
The black metal glove brought with it terrifying power as he punched out!
“Take my punch!” Roosevelt roared and punched the great demonic creature with his fist.
But soon, his expression changed.
This was because he felt that the spirit he hit was very weak and not worth any attention.
This meant that he had not managed to hit the main body of the great demonic creature.
“Oh no, we’ve been tricked!” Roosevelt groaned inwardly.
He felt a gust of cold air behind him as he quickly turned around and punched with his left fist.
He had learned all kinds of combat skills in the past. Be it Chinese martial arts, taekwondo, judo, or kickboxing, he had dabbled in them.
Thus, his reaction speed was extremely fast. His left hand slammed heavily against the spirit’s back.
It was the real one!
Roosevelt grinned.
However, he soon realized that the spirit that he hit had split into two from the middle, and the punch hit the air.
After the spirit split into two, it rushed to Roosevelt’s sides and grabbed both his arms.
Sizzle—
A sizzling sound could be heard.
The skin touched by the spirit instantly turned black. The surface of the skin was burnt and there was a piercing pain.
It was not burnt by flames.
It was more like being touched by something corrosive.
His charred skin even emitted a foul smell.
Seeing this, Jack released all the magic in his body. The water ring expanded rapidly, turning into a huge wave that swept towards the two spirits.
Seeing this, the spirit quickly retreated.
It blended into the group of countless spirits and disappeared.
This great demonic creature had just advanced and its strength had yet to stabilize.
If it was a true great demonic creature, it could have directly killed Jack and Roosevelt.
