The Moon Thief

"Damn spiders ... If one of those attacks hits me, I will die for sure, I must be very careful." Heinald's expression darkened when he saw that the wall was frozen.

The giant spider hit its front legs ground hard after the ice web attack and the ground began to freeze.

"Since they can use the power of ice, these spiders must be immune to ice..." Heinald observed and inferred. These spiders could have been immune to his Frost Wave spell. Magical Beasts, just like the Ainsars, were able to manipulate Magic, but they could only manipulate the elements they were born with. For example, these spiders were born with the ice element, they could only use it. However, some high-level Magical Beasts were capable of many elements and could use them.

The spider hit by the fireball had all its feathers burnt, but it survived.

"This spider survived but was badly injured. Although Basic Fireball is much more effective than its old version, it still shouldn't have done that much damage to this level 1 Ainsar spider. I think the fire element does more damage to them because they are born with ice element." Heinald thought.

When the effect time of Whisper of the Wind was over, the winds surrounding his body disappeared and he landed on the ground.

The legs of the two spiders began to be covered with ice, and soon afterwards they both started walking on Heinald at the same time. Heinald started running backwards, casting a spell at the same time.

"Lightning Spear!" Heinald suddenly stopped running and raised his hand, a lightning spear had formed on his hand. He sent the lightning spear to the spiders without losing time, a spell that deals area would be much more effective because they were side by side.

* Chiii! * There was a violent lightning explosion when the lightning spear exploded at the place where the spiders were. The violent explosion destroyed the spiders and burned them at the same time. Fumes were rising from the dead bodies of the spiders.

"This spell really deserves to be a Middle Rank spell. There's a big difference with the Low Rank spells." Heinald muttered.

Heinald was much more advantageous than other Level 1 Ainsars. His first and biggest advantage was his eyes, thanks to his eyes he was able to recognize even the smallest details during combat and react very quickly. His second chance was that he knew more spells than the others. He could be said to have been quite lucky, he inherited two Medium Rank Spells from his grandfather and he was wealthy enough to buy a Medium Rank Spell from Master Albert. Most Level 1 Ainsars didn't have a Medium Rank Spell. Therefore, Heinald had no trouble fighting against two spiders that had power of a Level 1 Ainsar.

After confirming that he was safe, Heinald searched the surrounding area carefully but found nothing.

"I think these rooms must be some kind of test ..." Heinald shook his head. Often, various tests and traps were put in the dungeons so that an ordinary person would not come and take the remains. So that the unworthy person could not take the remains.

Heinald rested a little and restored his Magic Energy. Then he turned back the way he came from. This time he took the mostleft corridor and began to move towards. After walking down the corridor for a while, he came to front of a large door. He prepared himself and opened the door carefully. He threw Fullmoon Sphere inside. When it lit up, he expected to see another beast, but this time there was no Magical Beast inside, just lots of alchemical tools and dust.

"This place looks like a lab ..." Heinald muttered. He began to scrutinize the area carefully. To the left was a huge bookcase that covered the entire wall, but interestingly there were no books. There were only empty jars,some alchemical tools and a ornamental pool in the middle, there was no water in it.

"Interesting place..." Heinald scratched his chin.

As he was about to turn his attention elsewhere, he noticed a detail, a camouflaged ledge on the edge of the ornamental pool.

Heinald immediately went over to the ledge, and after examining it, he pushed it away with slight force.

The ground began to shake slightly, the center of the fountain opened and a ladder appeared. When he looked down he couldn't see anything, there was not the slightest light. He immediately took Fullmoon Sphere with him and began to descend.

When he finished going down, he had come to a rather narrow tunnel, and he began to proceed carefully, observing the surroundings carefully to avoid any traps. After walking for minutes, it emerged into a spacious circular area, which was very different from the other parts of the dungeon, with a sand-like ground.

"Hm?" Heinald continued to move forward but stopped when he felt the floor shake slightly.

Suddenly two large pincers jumped out of the middle of the sand, and a giant body emerged from behind.

"This..." Heinald's pupils flickered. There was a huge yellow scorpion front of him. Although the energy this Magical Beast radiated was not much greater than himself, its body looked huge and very hard.

As Heinald held up his hand, his sword appeared in his hand. He was examining the scorpion's body carefully, its entire body covered in venom. His skin was absolutely not supposed to touch this scorpion's body. 

The scorpion began to move around quickly, looking for a good position to attack.

"Basic Fireball!" A fireball flew out from Heinald's hand, but the scorpion moved quickly and dodged the attack.

The scorpion raised its tail and squirted venom from its stinger.

Heinald immediately cast the Wind of Aira, a wave of air came out of his hands, and they collided with the venom in the air. Scorpion did not settle for a single attack and ran over Heinald and tried to catch him with his pincers, but failed. He rolled over quickly and ran, widening the distance from the scorpion.

While running, he also cast the spell called the Lightning Spear. He held up his hand and the dancing lightning bolts formed a spear shape. Heinald did not immediately send the Lightning Spear this time. The scorpion in front of him was able to move very quickly, despite its huge body. He was looking for a suitable position.

When he caught a suitable position, he sent the Lightning Spear towards the scorpion.

*BAM!*

"Stunned!" He noticed that the scorpion in front of him was stunned. The lightning explosion could not shatter the scorpion's hard body, but still did a good amount of damage and stunned it. He immediately took action and jumped towards the back of the scorpion, gathering all his strength, swung his sword towards the tail of the scorpion.

* CLANG! * It sounded like two metals were colliding. The violent sword slash wasn't enough to sever the scorpion's tail. When the scorpion recovered from stun, it quickly turned to Heinald and tried to catch him, but he had immediately run away from the scorpion when his attack failed.

"Damn, its body is much tougher than I thought." Heinald's expression darkened. When he saw that the giant scorpion was about to throw venom at him again, he immediately began casting Basic Fireball. A fireball flew out from his hand and collided with the toxic liquid in the air.

* Tzzsss! * As a result of the collision, toxic fumes began to emerge into the air. He immediately backed off and began observing the movements of the scorpion.

The giant scorpion suddenly raised its tail and threw its stinger. Heinald parried the stinger that coming towards him with an incredible speed. He was waiting the giant scorpion to throw its stinger again but the scorpion plucked a large rock off the wall with his gripper and threw it at him with all his might.

Heinald slashed the rock with his sword, but the incident happened too quickly, so he couldn't take position and blown back.

"Aghh!" Heinald's arms had begun to numb as a result of the strong blow. The giant scorpion did not waste time and quickly began to walk towards him. When he saw this, immediately began casting his Frost Wave spell.

When the giant scorpion came near him,swung its stinger towards him. At that moment, a piercing cold began to spread from his body. The piercing cold frost wave gathered around his body and spread out. The giant scorpions's stinger stopped just as it was about to touch Heinald because the giant scorpion's entire body was frozen.

Heinald held out his right hand forward, and a fire ray emerged from his hand, radiating fierce heat around him. The temperature was so fierce that all the ice covering the scorpion had melted in seconds.

"Now!" Heinald had used his Spiritual Magic to perform the plan in his mind. Using Frost Wawe, he prevented the giant scorpion from moving so he could burn the giant scorpion's head with a violent fire ray.

The head area of the giant scorpion had turned a fire-red color, and he immediately rushed forward and stabbed that area.
