I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"Leave it to me—the 'Magic Shield'."

A translucent magic shield instantly appeared under the two of them, and then a rain of arrows clanged against the magic shield. However, this did not mean that the battle was over, as the tower on the other side was emitting a light that looked like magic.

Unable to confirm the level of magic the other party cast, Ella held Lotte's hand tightly and pointed at the wall in front of them.

"Lotte, go straight in from here."

"Yes."

Without hesitation, she pulled the trigger at the wall and flew straight into the smoke-filled hole. In the next second, a black arrow passed through the place where Luti had just stood, flew straight to the top of the castle, and finally hit it.

呲.

Instead of blowing up the top of the castle, it made an unpleasant hissing sound like strong acid was poured on a piece of meat, and the top of the castle was dissolved into a semi-liquid fluid.

"That was a close call."

"Ms. Ella, which floor is this?"

"Sixth floor, Fukagan on the seventh floor has found Angelini and is heading towards the sixth floor—no, there are three Orichalcum Kumi there, they're surrounded, go this way!"

After mapping out the shortest route using the terrain search, Ella waved to Lotte and rushed directly into the empty room in front of her, which should be the meeting room. She quickly walked to the base of the wall on the left and made a cross on the wall with her hand.

"Break down this wall."

It doesn't matter how much compensation you pay for the damage to the wall. The top priority now is to get Angelica and Shen Gan out.

Nodding to Ella, Lotte channeled a bit of magic power into Hela, aimed at the wall, and pulled the trigger.

As expected, a big hole was opened in the wall.

Ella led Lotte through again, and after breaking through three more walls like this, Ella finally stopped and turned to Lotte to remind her.

"Exit here and turn right to find a spiral staircase, but it's surrounded by walls, leaving it only four meters wide. Lotte's Hela isn't suited to such a narrow passage, so I'll take the lead. Also, don't use magic like Explosive Bomb unless absolutely necessary. I'm worried the stairs will collapse."

"I understand, but Ms. Ella's attack method..."

Until now, Ella has only been able to use two types of offensive magic: "Holy Pestle" and "Ice Ball", and her means of attack are extremely limited.

In response to this, Ella confidently replaced the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment with the Arrow of Fire and patted her chest.

"This is enough."

Although "Ice Ball" is a first-level magic and cannot pose a threat to Kumi above the level of White Iron Kumi, "Holy Pestle" is physical damage, and it is a blunt attack. Kumi, like the skeletons among the undead, is resistant to piercing damage, but will be vulnerable to beating damage from the opponent. "Holy Pestle" just happens to restrain Kumi.

If the arrow of fire is used as the medium, it has been tried in the Kingdom of Baris. Even the black dragon Vera would be knocked unconscious, not to mention Kumi. Ella even has a premonition that without the help of the power of the Seal of Sloth, even Oz would not dare to take the blow head-on.

Making a "go this way" gesture to Ruthie, Ella pressed close to the wooden door. She could hear the hurried footsteps and the sound of armor colliding outside. Kumi from other floors were pouring towards the seventh floor.

After nodding to each other, Ella began to cast strengthening magic on herself—mainly the "Power Boost" that could enhance the power of "Holy Pestle Strike."

A golden light slowly lit up on the bronze arrow of fire. After about two seconds, the golden light gradually turned into the shape of the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment. If Iris saw it, she would definitely be surprised by Ella's unconscious control of magic. In fact, apart from the dragon clan, the ability to condense magic into any shape can only be achieved by magic casters in the hero realm.

Ella held up three fingers to Lotte, then put them away one by one.

three.

two.

One.

Although they had not agreed on anything beforehand, the two of them had a tacit understanding. Loti opened the door and Ella rushed straight out.

"'Holy Pestle Strike'!"

Golden light instantly filled the entire corridor. Before the Kumi could react, the pestle head, which was originally only the size of a human head, suddenly expanded to the thickness of a wooden barrel. Under Ella's downward swing, six Kumi were "buried" - turned into pieces.

"It's reinforcements! Stop them and don't let them take the Saint away!"

Standing on the stairs, the quick-witted Orichalcum Kumi shouted.

Chapter 73 Encounter

Although she could throw the Fire Arrow at the Orichalcum Kumi on the stairs like in the anime, the Fire Arrow was not like Camisia's Sword of Disorder, which had the ability to return to her hand on its own. Ella could only obediently clear the Stainless Steel Kumi that blocked her way and slowly move towards the Orichalcum Kumi.

Since Lotte was following behind him, he couldn't swing the Fire Arrow too wide, but on the other hand, he didn't have to worry about being attacked from behind by the Kumi. Although the spiral walls on both sides prevented Lotte from using Hela, it didn't mean that Lotte had lost her combat capability. The magic gun he gave to Lotte could play a role here. Baitie Kumi could only withstand "first-level magic", and the magic gun's attack had already been tested in the Holy Academy. It was a pure attack of condensed magic power and did not belong to the category of "rank magic".

For example, consider Ella's Fire Arrow. The "Ice Ball" cast by the Fire Arrow has the same power as a fifth-tier spell, but because it's a first-tier spell, no matter how Ella mixes it into a magic spell, it won't cause damage to the Black Dragon, which has the "First-tier Magic Immunity" talent. Conversely, the Magic Lance's power is between first-tier and second-tier magic, but because it's not a level magic, Kumi's magic immunity talent is ineffective against it.

Ella once complained in her heart that this was as unpredictable as the settings in RPG games.

However, it must be pointed out in advance that due to the resistance to piercing damage, the same Kumi must be shot multiple times before it will break, so Loti had to use Tifarian's usual rapier to block some of Kumi's attacks.

Fortunately, the spiral staircase is only about three meters away, and at most only three Kumi can attack at the same time. Therefore, even in all kinds of unfavorable situations, Lotte can easily deal with it.

Ella swung the Fire Arrow again to sweep away Kumi who was blocking the way in front of her, and clicked her tongue.

"Tsk, there are too many reinforcements. This will slow down our progress."

Every time I smash a group of Kumi, new Kumi will fill in. It feels like splitting the water in half with my hands. As soon as the momentum passes, the wave will come again.

If this were a wide and straight staircase, he could just throw out a magic-infused attack like the protagonist in the comics, wiping out all the Kumi in front of him at once, but the spiral staircase was too restrictive, and throwing weapons here was undoubtedly something only a fool would do.

Therefore, there is no other choice except to clean up slowly and move forward step by step. Ella patiently cleaned up a piece of land, taking a step forward, and kept going back and forth.

Until three minutes passed.

"'Round Dance Slash'!"

Bang, bang, bang—boom.

There was a series of sounds of ore crushing, accompanied by exaggerated sound effects similar to bricks and stones flying.

"Angeline-senpai, I told you not to use area magic on the stairs."

"Ahahaha... Sorry, sorry, I finally had the chance to use my full strength, but I forgot to control my strength."

"Haha, forget it, let's go down quickly. Senior and the others lack direct combat power, so this will probably be troublesome."

"Hmm, 'Sword Dance Combo'!"

There was another sound of ore breaking, but unlike before, this time the sound lasted for a full three seconds. When Ella looked at the terrain search, Angelica and Shen Gan had already appeared in front of her.

"Eh? Little Ella?"

"Stop it, you idiot!"

It wasn't until now that Ella finally understood why the banging sound had lasted so long.

She swung the sickle as sharply as a windmill. Even the mountain copper Kumi and steel weapons would be shattered into pieces as soon as they touched the sickle. Angelica herself swooped down the stairs carrying Shen Gan on her back.

If she were to use an object as an analogy, Ella could only imagine the tunnel boring machine used to dig tunnels on Earth. Nothing could stop Angelini.

But for Ella now, the swooping Angelina was a complete disaster. If she didn't resist, she would definitely be minced into pieces.

“Stop! Holy Pestle Strike!”

boom!

A sound that seemed to shatter someone echoed in the stairs.

Angelique fell to the ground, while Ella and Lotte rolled down the stairs along with Kumi, who had opened his mouth wide and looked terrified.

It is worth mentioning that this attack fulfilled Ella's previous expectation and destroyed most of the Kumi blocking the stairs at once.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Ella struggled to stand up from the ground. Fortunately, she had cast the "Iron Wall Blessing" on herself and Lotte in advance, so she would not be injured when rolling down the stairs. Otherwise, just hitting Kumi would have broken several ribs, especially her right hand holding the Fire Arrow, which was still numb.

[Even though it feels like I'm only saying this now, Angelina's strength is terrifying.]

Even with the help of "Strength Boost", Angelica immediately stopped, but he was still knocked away by Angelica. It is hard to imagine what the consequences would be if he did not use "Strength Boost".

As most of the Kumi were wiped out, they fled in panic to seek reinforcements, giving Ella time to pull up Lotte who was beside her.

"Are you okay?"

"no."

Unlike herself, Lotte not only had the "Iron Wall Blessing" status, but was also wearing the "Elves' Praise". It should be difficult for her to even feel pain. Ella looked at Lotte carefully to confirm.

Immediately afterwards, Angelica and Shen Gan came to Ella.

"Ella-chan, Lotte-chan, I'm so sorry!"

Like a child who had done something wrong, Angelini hid the sickle behind her and lowered her head timidly.

"Luckily, I'm the one who came here, otherwise I would definitely be turned into meat."

"Feel sorry……"

"Alright, alright, I'm fine now. Judging from Angelina's appearance, she should be fine too. Where's Fukagan?"

Ella tilted her head and looked at Shen Gan who was standing next to Angelica. She seemed to have seen Shen Gan wrapped around Angelica like an octopus. Maybe he was exhausted or injured.

Shen Gan sighed helplessly.

"No problem. After we take care of the guards at the gate, Senior Angelini will handle all the Kumi along the way."

It seemed that he felt that he would be a hindrance if he was nearby, so he simply lay on Angeline's back and left the battle to Angeline. As for the reason why Angeline had the ability to break open the door of the room but didn't do it, it was because Angeline's scythe was taken away by Oz, and Shen Gan had already recovered it on the way.

After handing out magic potions to her companions to restore their magic power, Ella looked around.

"If you're ready, go down quickly. Iris and Mitis are still in the hall."

"Um."

Nodding to Ella, they formed the same formation as usual, with Angelica, who was in charge of frontal combat, walking in front, followed by Ella, the healer, and finally Lotte, who was responsible for support and rearguard duties. The assassin Fukagan was maneuvering outside the team.

Chapter 74: Reunion

After receiving Ella's enhanced magic, Angelini's combat power rose several levels again. Even when she met Kumi, a rare person who could use magic, she was completely powerless under the sniping of Ruthie and Shen Gan. The originally difficult progress suddenly became easy. It took less than ten minutes for the four of them to reach the hall where Iris and Mitis were from the sixth floor.

The originally spacious and bright hall was now littered with Kumi fragments. Not only that, even the small passages connecting to other rooms were blocked due to collapse. It seemed that what Iris had said before about "blocking the intersection" meant using magic to bombard the ceiling to cause it to fall and collapse. The dilapidated scene made Ella sigh that the fact that it had not collapsed must be the help of God in secret.

Noticing the footsteps of Ella and her group, Mitis, who was guarding the entrance alone at the iron gate, turned around and blinked in surprise.

"Huh? So soon? I thought we had to wait until the sun came out."

"By the way, what about Iris?"

In the spacious hall filled with Kumi fragments, only Mitis was there, and there was no sign of Iris.

Since there were no more Kumi attacking, Mitis pointed to a secret door hidden under the spiral staircase.

"After blocking the intersection, they said they were going to look for the treasury. Well, there haven't been any Kumi attacks since a while ago, so I'm not under any pressure to defend here alone. Although the Orichalcum Kumi is tough, it's only two Gungnirs long. Iris should be out after a while."

"This guy actually went to the national treasury."

Feeling troubled, Ella sighed helplessly, opened the terrain search and began to search for Iris, but before that, Iris's voice echoed in the hall.

"Alright, Ella-chan, let's go."

"Eh?"

Even the long golden hair draped over her silver hair was not messy. Iris looked like she had hardly experienced any battle and slowly walked out of the secret passage.

"What do you mean by 'eh'?"

"The national treasury should be difficult to find, right? Iris, you succeeded so quickly? No, I should say that as a member of the royal family of the God-man tribe, you actually went to rob the national treasury!"

"Ah, this is the price they paid for using the seal on me. If the Holy King Council knew about this, they would definitely think that the Kumi people were disrespecting the God-man race and would be furious. In comparison, I'm just receiving a small reward."

Having said that, Iris walked over to Ella and shrugged.

"That being said, we haven't found it yet. Without Ella-chan's ability to detect it, it would take an ordinary person months to find it. We can only take the magic core from what looks like a storage room."

"You guy..."

"Call me Elise."

If this continued, it would be endless. Ella chose to ignore Iris, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"If it's over, leave now. I feel uneasy staying here, and I'm worried about Kagamika."

My own terrain search cannot observe places as far as the West City Gate, otherwise I would be able to see Jinghua's situation now.

"Don't even think about taking the Saint away!"

"Tsk."
