BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 I Want To Be Strong
Meanwhile, outside the dungeon, the battle between the rank 1 black bear and Chris was at its climax, as the area around them had been destroyed and bore no resemblance to how it had been before, but due to Chris' deliberate attempt to lure the rank I black bear away from the hill, the hill and the area around it were still intact as it had been before the fight.
Though the fight between the rank 1 black bear and Chris appeared to be deadlocked, anyone who had watched the fight from the start could see that Chris was the one at a disadvantage, and the only reason he was still able to fight in the first place was because of his weapon and his fire and wind magic elements.
Despite having two magical elements, he performed just like Ace when he first began using the fire element.
It could even be said that he was worse than Ace at the time because, unlike Ace, he never had a magic manipulation scroll to begin with and had to rely on himself and learn from the tips Emma and Ace provide him to control his elements. Even so, the only thing he can do is coat his sword with flames in a wasteful way and boost the strength of the flames with his wind element by mixing them to create a stronger effect.
This was one of the reasons he was still able to fight the rank 1 black bear, but it didn't make the fight any easier with his advantage because the black bear he was against appeared to have an element that was the nemesis for Chris' fire and wind elements.
Chris jumped into the air with a low roar, releasing the skill that came with the weapon in his hands as he blended it with his magical elements.
[Low Rare Grade Magic Steel Sword],
Made in his leisure time by a Rank 1 Apprentice Level Blacksmith with the assistance of a Rank 1 Rune Trainee Level Master who inscribed the skill 'Heat Blade' on the weapon.
Addition effect: Elements that are compatible with the spell Heat Blade improve it.
....
As Chris released the heat blade spell in mid-air with his elements mixed in, a 3-meter-long curve blade emerged from the sword in Chris' hands, flashing red as the blade moved towards the direction of the rank 1 black bear.
When the Rank 1 black bear saw the familiar-looking attack, it roared and slammed both of its hands on the ground.
"ROAR!!!!"
After this occurred, a wall made of earth appeared in front of the black bear, successfully blocking Chris' attack but being destroyed in the process.
Seeing that his attack had been repelled yet again, Chris charged back at the monster, who replicated in kind as another round of battle began in front of Anna and Mia.
...…
'Pant' 'Pant' 'Pant'
As Chris and the rank 1 black bear panted from exhaustion, Chris decided to conclude the fight with a single attack that would be the final one he would deliver in this fight, and if it didn't kill the monster, he would have no choice but to let Anna kill the monster.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Chris pumped every drop of mana he had in his body into the sword in his hand as he released the Heat Blade spell to the rank 1 black bear as the rank 1 black bear followed in kind as it sent an earth spike to defend and crash with the Heat Blade spell that was headed towards it and when the two attacks eventually connected as a loud sound resounded in the surroundings as both attacks 'blew up' and inflicted massive damage around the area it detonated.
'Did it hit?' Chris thought as he looked around the area where both attacks exploded as it was so close to the rank 1 black bear.
Though the monster was powerful, it wasn't very smart since it chose a half-assed defense to attack.
This judgment could have been influenced by its previous encounters with Heat Blade spells, as it would not have expected a more potent one to come.
Chris panted between breaths, wondering if the strike just now had done significant damage to the rank 1 bear, when a panel appeared in front of him, causing him to collapse on the floor after reading the text on the panel.
[You have acquired the primordial records of Rank 1 Black Bear Level 27],
The rank 1 black bear truly did itself since it did not defend itself properly and instead escalated the damage of an attack that it could have naturalized at half the damage it produced, but this ultimately worked to Chris' benefit.
Anna made her way to Chris' location after seeing the outcome of the battle and dropping the struggling Mia in her arms, who instantly raced to Chris' side to hug him as she got down.
Chris, who felt his sister's touch, smiled broadly, believing that everything would be worthwhile in the end if it was for his sister's sake.
As he was thinking of this, he heard Anna speak to him.
"Why are you trying so hard, Chris?" Anna inquired as she bent down to pat the fatigued youngster on the ground, who grinned as he replied when he heard her inquiry and saw her actions.
"I just want to be strong sister Anna," he said, looking up at the sky, a tear escaping his eyes as he spoke again while securely hugging his sister in his arms.
"I simply want to be strong so that I can protect those closest to me and never have to go through that again," he added as the tears that were about to fall from his eyes finally did as Anna, who saw this, asked no questions and just continued to pat the youngster.
Unlike Chris, who might have experienced pain at the start of the apocalypse because he lost something or someone important, Anna could still feel his pain even though she had lost what was extremely important to her a long time ago.
As the sound of cries resounds in the forest, only the screech of the crows in the sky could drown it.
....
Meanwhile, in the hidden dungeon where Emma and Chris were, a slew of paintings were spread out in front of them.
