"It's the Magician Prince, Enrico!"
"We are saved!""Please, take care of the monster! Physical attacks can't damage it!"
"The prince is here, this is it for you, monster!"
"Heh, move aside you all! I will take care of this filth that has been summoned by the demonic Elf! Say your prayers, you filthy monster! You're done for!" He laughed.
"This is the power of a descendant of the Wizard Hero!" The noble young man laughed, as countless magic circles emerged above my head. Firing mid-sized meteors and icicle spears the size of small icebergs.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
I rolled around, evading each enormous projectile while analyzing the situation, I quickly gave a quick spin and turned back to him, and began running towards him directly while countless magic circles started to shoot me meteors and icebergs. I had decided that it was a better plan to merely go forward and crush through his powerful magic the same way I had done with the Magic of the Elf Queen, which quite honestly, was way stronger than this loser.
"This is merely child's play!" I roared back at him.Covering my body with the power of [Holy Flames] I began to crush through his magical projectiles as his meteors and icebergs were quickly turned into mere debris and dust. In seconds, I was already in front of him, as dozens of spikes were flying his way, exploding constantly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Unngh…?! Damn monster…!" He roared angrily, defending himself with ten layers of barriers. Five of them were destroyed by my flying spikes but the rest ended being retained. The guy had amazing MP capacity and I just wanted to feed him to my daughter Silva so she could get more MP, just as I was planning to do with all these useless human corpses anyways.
"You've done it now, you've truly pushed me! Don't blame for going overboard, it is hard to resist the urge of using my overwhelming magical power! I've always struggled to contain myself, hahaha!" The kid laughed, an enormous magic circle suddenly emerged right above me!
TRUUUMMM…!
And from within, what emerged was a… titanic hand?! It was almost 70 meters big, and it was descending at a rapid pace. The soldiers around us ran away immediately while the hand closed in mere seconds.
"Hahahaha! DIE! Squished like the bug you are!"
CLAAAAASSSHHH…!
The gigantic hand made of stone closed in, crushing me into the ground mercilessly as I felt my body being pressed into the ground. I began rolling at fast as possible to get out of it, digging through all the stones while resisting the gigantic pressure.
"Heh, it is over." The prince said, as he was floating atop the skies while looking down at the gigantic hand having crushed me.
"Is that so?"
"Huh?! GUH…?!"
However, he lowered his guard. In a mere second, a sharp and long weapon, a black-colored spear, closed in, piercing through his chest and his heart.
"G-GAAAAKKHHH…!" A scream of agony resonated through the skies, as the soldiers looked in disbelief that a floating weapon pierced the heart of their prince.
"S-Shit…! Shit!" The prince cried, trying to get the spear out of his chest. "A-As long as I get it out I can heal myself- AKH…!"
"Predation."
"…Eh?!"
Black mercilessly unleashed his Predation Skill, as a monstrous and gigantic jaw made of darkness and red energy emerged over the prince, suddenly crushing him down and devouring him while being alive!
"GUUUAAAKKHHH…! H-HEEEELP!"
He cried in horror, but nobody helped him as he was mercilessly eaten.
CRUNCH!
Ding!
[Black] has activated [Predation] on target foe]
[Predation] succeed, a new [Ego] has been created]
As I dug out of the giant stone hand, I couldn't help but smile. We finally got to see Black's Predation in action! And we even got an Ego to boot?!
Without thinking it twice, I used Telekinesis to lift the staff the kid was wielding and quickly inserted his Ego into the staff, forcefully imbuing him into it.
FLASH!
[A New [Ego] has been created]
[Name the Ego?]
"Yes! Arcane!"
[Arcane] has been assigned as a name for the [Ego]
Egos that were not as powerful as my own Egos, such as this kid's Ego, had no personality and were silent, obeying my very will and not opposing me when I gave them whatever name I wanted.
"A floating staff, huh?" Black said with a smirk, well, he lacked a mouth.
"Take care of him! Arcane, go blast the humans with the magic you used before!" I ordered. Arcane had enormous quantities of MP like the kid, around 40k MP, so he immediately began summoning giant meteors and icebergs, burning, and freezing the human's army by the dozens if not hundreds.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"T-The staff of the prince has turned against us?!"
"Wasn't that staff once wielded by the ancient Wizard Hero?! What's going on?!"
"A staff gaining sentience- UUAAGGH…!"
BOOOMMM!!!
The bombardments of Meteors and Icebergs were relentless. Although Black ruined my plan of giving the corpse to Silva, that was fine at the end. We got a new Ego in the form of a Staff good at magic, that was more than enough for me!
While Arcane and Black covered my back, I kept rolling forward and massacring more human troops, until I finally found more Elite troops. Knights. Each one was at least Level 30 this time, comparable to D Rank Monsters perhaps. They might probably be the worthy feast for my ascension into a new evolution.
The knights quickly noticed me, as they seemed to have a plan.
"There's the bug! It's coming this way!"
"Ready the magic weapon!"
"NOW!"
They brought a large cannon-like magic weapon imbued with demonic stones and magic stones, and then unleashed a massive beam of darkness and… chaos? Against me all at once!
BOOOOMMMM!!!
Hah, you think you can even defeat me with my own element?!
I pushed forward without any difficulty, throwing the cannon away and confronting the knights all at once. Sword techniques fell over me but barely made any bruises, as I began piercing their armor with my spikes. Whatever weapon that was, it was strangely designed. Is this really human magic tech?
