Chapter 142 Child Of Life

**BOOM!! BOOOMM!!

Although it was only simple dark magic, the level disparity between them made the common dark spheres seem like tactical level spells to Eliza.

Eliza rolled out of the way to dodge some of the attacks, however, she was unable to avoid some and had to rely on her barrier to save herself.

? Even so, her barrier was only able to do so much, with no more than a few of the spheres shattering the single-layered barriers and slamming into the body of the priestess.

"Now!!"

She heard Pride's loud voice, mere moments before two streaks of black and gold light passed her on both sides.

Looking up, she caught the figures of Evan and Pride who had cut through the remaining dark spheres with their swords.

Evan's eyes flashed with a golden light as the exact same magic circle that Leviron used appeared right above his head.

A dark energy sphere was conjured in front of it and he stretched his left hand up in the air, grabbing the energy sphere and slamming it into the ground after infusing it with lightning and fire magic.

Pride on the other hand focused the might of the formless wind around her blade, manipulating the whirlwind and generating enough suction force to pull Leviron towards her.

The blade wraith's eyes flashed as it let itself be pulled towards her, raising its sword overhead and coating it in an ominous black haze.

It intended to slash down on her the moment she pulled it into range, but to its surprise, Pride didn't let him get that close, thrusting her sword arm forward with a short cry and releasing a miniature storm that launched its body into the air.

Due to the force of the wind, the baton that was hanging on its waist was flicked away to some unknown corner of the room.

It was at this moment that Evan slammed the energy sphere in his hands into the ground, creating a wave of explosions that travelled on the ground.

Leviron's body crashed on the ground after being launched in the air by Pride and the wave of explosions that Evan sent out hit its body.

Eliza didn't sit still and stare at the two as they helped her take out her opponent, she performed her role as a support best as she grabbed the radiant codex and utilized its effect, granting Evan and Pride Elemental damage buffs.

Two rings of yellow and dark red light appeared around Evan and Pride's wrists respectively. Right after that, she activated her flower cannon skill, causing the ground to crack open as a gigantic shoot emerged from within.

The shoot's flower bud bloomed and from an opening of the petals, a powerful beam of concentrated magic power was launched towards the unfortunate Leviron.

***WOOOONGGG!!!!

***BOOMM!!!

There was an explosion as Leviron was unable to take any defensive actions against the beam of magic power, allowing it to crash into its body and shatter its armour.

Evan on the other hand, tossed a familiar-looking bottle to Eliza as he shouted something that only she understood.

"Use your Anti Regen!"

The moment he said this, he turned around and swung his sword upwards to meet the Elecrus' overhead slash.

The blade wraith didn't give Evan a chance to stand his ground, conjuring multiple spears of lightning at the young hero's blind spot, however, Eliza interfered, creating a barrier that held off the spears long enough for Evan to teleport away.

Immediately after, she downed the contents of the bottle Evan tossed her and turned her gaze in Leviron's direction, inadvertently glancing at Pride who was exchanging strikes with Glavore at speeds she could barely see.

She picked up her staff and kicked off the ground, dashing towards the blade wraith who was getting up from the ground as she activated the unique skill she was born with.

"Child of Life!"

As soon as she spoke, her body was surrounded by a thin layer of green light, her exhaustion disappearing as she felt magic power permeate into her body and strengthen her muscles and nerves.

Her speed increased as she closed the distance between her and Leviron instantly, swinging her staff upwards.

*BAMM!!

The weapon slammed into the lower jaw of the monster, slightly lifting its body up in the air and knocking it back a bit.

She twirled the staff in her hand before stabbing the tip downwards into the monster's exposed chest and activating one of her skill's abilities.

"Anti Regeneration!"

Her child of life skill allowed her to shape and manipulate the essence of 'life' both positively and negatively, as such, she was capable of reversing accelerated recovery and worsening pre/post-existent injuries.

Light green coloured magic power poured into Leviron's body, making it scream out in pain as Eliza's ability reversed its natural healing process, worsening the injuries it received from the trio's combined assault.

Eliza didn't stop there and poured in all her remaining magic power, activating the second stage of the anti regeneration ability.

A metallic taste filled her mouth, with blood dripping from the corners of her lips but she gritted her teeth and stabbed the poor blade wraith's exposed chest with her staff multiple times.

◇ ◇ ◇

Leviron was a monster that had roamed the ninth floor of the Mansion of the damned for years, and within those years, it had battled no less than a thousand adventurers and had come out alive each time.

Sometimes it had to run for its life as the opponents were stronger than it was, other times it encountered opponents while still healing from the wounds sustained in a previous battle.

Nevertheless, it survived in this dungeon, battling other adventurers and fellow blade wraiths alike and growing stronger with each battle.

When it broke through level 100 and became a master-level existence, it suddenly discovered the entrance to the tenth basement floor of the mansion of the damned, going through this entrance in search of stronger opponents to battle.

It was then it met with other blade wraiths who had broken through just like it, alongside more powerful adventurers who used the tenth floor as a regular hunting ground.

Repeating the same process it had taken on the ninth floor, it engaged itself in multiple battles, eventually picking up a second weapon that it barely used as it continued improving its strength over the period of close to a year.

Unfortunately, Leviron had a recent near-death encounter with an A-rank adventurer who was breezing through the dungeon and was left with an inch of its life as the adventurer didn't even bother killing it at all.

Even with its superior regenerative abilities as monsters and master-level existences, it took Leviron over a week to heal from the injuries it had received when the adventurer merely blitzed past it at lightning speed.

Its body was nearly shredded to pieces and it had to hide and recuperate over the span of ten days before it could finally come out of hiding.

The moment it did, it suddenly found itself in a room besides two other stronger blade wraiths.

Opposite it, were three humans who seemed to be hostile towards it, however, for some reason Leviron found that it was unable to move to eliminate the hostiles until one of the humans shouted something as he rose his weapon.

They fought the humans together, with the other two more powerful blade wraiths picking the humans who they sensed possessed the same affinity as they did.

Leviron was left with the battle priestess who was currently stabbing its exposed chest with a magic-infused staff.

At first, it had wanted to grab the staff and toss it away, however, the human mage girl twisted the staff in his body and shouted something it could not understand.

In the next moment, its body felt pain all over, as if it was being torn apart by a flurry of wind blades.

The feeling reminded Leviron of how it felt the moment the frightening aura of the A rank adventurer passed right in front of its face ten days ago.

Or rather, it was exactly how it felt.

After all, Eliza had used her Anti-regeneration skill to undo the healing process of its most recent injuries that hadn't completely healed.

Even more so, it forced him to re-experience the pain it felt when the injuries were inflicted on it originally.

The shock it caused it, had rendered it temporarily unable to move, giving Eliza the chance she needed to inflict more damage on him before the effects of her skill ran out.

Of course, the pain would not magically disappear and the severity of its injuries would not decrease, but the battle priestess didn't dare take her chances.

She stabbed her staff towards its forehead, hitting it straight in the centre, she then spun her staff around horizontally, slamming into the side of its head with the other end of the staff and knocking its head to the ground.

Her eyes caught sight of the blade wraith's hands trying to reach for its sword that had been tossed to the side, a dangerous glint appearing in them as she calmly walked towards the weapon and picked it up.

"...As I thought, swords really aren't for me."
