Maria suddenly activated her Ultimate Skill, the evolution of her Mana Syphon, it had an amazing power, as it could absorb energies and this even included being able to destroy magical constructions by merely absorbing their basic components! It was also an amazing Uno Reverse Card against anything that absorbed energies, as it easily negated their ability and absorbed back all the energies they had absorbed before.
Within the depths of her soul, a large black hole emerged, and from within, a small, red-shot eye glanced into the barrier, the darkness within Maria’s black hole turned into an all-absorbing void force, quickly beginning to tear apart the runes and components of the magic barrier, which quickly started to crack and shatter.
Maria quickly looked into the interior of the barrier, realizing Julia was right there, being assaulted by Vampires! All her Undead either destroyed or incapacitated! Kuro and Raven quickly came to her mind, if something happened to those two, her beloved pets, Maria would easily have her heart broken! Filled with fury and rage over what these bastards had done in just a few minute when she was gone from here, Maria put all her energy into breaking the barrier, as the sound of her plague body began to resonate, as if millions of flies flapped their wings viciously and rapidly, the thundering sound was quickly noticed by the Vampires down below, as she saw their flabbergasted expressions, cracking and shattering the barrier!
“Ugh! Who the hell is breaking glass?! Cut it out- Eh?” Agatha cried, as she suddenly noticed the enormous mass of flies trying to break through the barrier, until…!
“W-Wha… what is that?!” Agatha couldn’t help but ask in disbelief, without even having any idea what the heck that was! But it felt as a powerful and incredibly domineering presence that she had never felt before, it was so frightening and all-encompassing that she couldn’t help but tremble in fear, and even feel chills down her spine. Julia also looked into what looked like a mass of wiggling insects and darkness, as they suddenly broke through the barrier!
The fury of Maria knew no bounds! The moment she broke through the barrier, the entire barrier broke apart and was devoured by her black hole, boosting her strength and giving her a lot of bonus Mana to use to her heart’s contents! She even felt as if her stats permanently increased by a tiny bit, and she even learned a new Skill?!
[You have absorbed a powerful mass of runes and magic, you acquired the [Mold Breaker: Lv1] Title Skill!]
A Title Skill given to someone who has used brute force to break through an incredible and almost indestructible wall, barrier, or a person. It grants the user the ability to break through molds and reach new heights, increasing damage dealt against Barriers and Shields of all types by +10% with each level, alongside ignoring 5% of the foe’s defensive stats with each level.
“Oho, this is going to be useful!” Thought Maria, rushing down and quickly spreading out her body while also multiplying it through sheer quantities of Mana!
“A mass of insects?!”
“What is the meaning of this?!”
“A monster appeared capable of breaking the barrier!”
Maria quickly began to fight while everyone wondered what was happening! Her plague body infiltered into the Vampire’s group in mere seconds, using her abilities to inflict constant damage against the Vampires, the flies began to devour them slowly bit by bit, while using Maria’s Ultimate Skill to drain away their mana and vitality!
“W-We can’t fight this…!”
“Anything I do, it doesn’t work!”
The flies entered the Vampire’s mouths and eyes, devouring them from the inside out, dozens of them quickly began dropping in the floor, completely dead and dried out like raisins. Their souls were promptly eaten by Maria as well, mercilessly so!
Agatha’s eyes were filled with despair and fear as she didn’t knew what as happening, the mass of flies flew towards her as she instinctively stepped back, generating a force field made out of Blood Magic around her, and jumping at the side of her Werewolf, who could use a similar ability to fend off the vicious flies.
“What sort of attack is this?! Is this the doing of a magician that can control insects?!” Asked Agatha.
“Gyyyaaaaah!” Julia cried, as she was suddenly engulfed in flies!
Agatha gritted her teeth as she seemed to feel a bit frustrated, just when things were getting good she was suddenly interrupted by something utterly strange! Most if not all her subordinates were dead by now, and Julia and her maids were gone, swallowed by the swarm of flies!
Julia herself was also scared, when she was suddenly swallowed by the flies she thought she was a goner, and the disgusting insects’ bodies covering her entire body was truly the thing of nightmares, but amidst this darkness, she heard a very familiar voice!
“Julia, it is me, Marie!”
“These flies are part of my magic; I’ve finally finished the dungeon and saw all of this… Don’t worry, I’ll keep you safe, I’ll put you inside my shadows with your maids, can you wait there?”
“O-Okay! I never thought you would actually come, I thought you ran away or died…!”
“I would never run away from my job! After all, you’re helping my little village, if I leave you, who else is gong to extend a hand to us?”
“Now wait there while I deal with this, I won’t let them escape!”
“O-Okay! Good luck! Please… kill that bitch and Emiliano, he’s a traitor!”
“Emiliano? The dude in the floor? Bastard…! Don’t worry, I’ll make him pay.”
Maria left Julia and her maids inside of her Shadows through the [Shadow Storage] Skill, finally left alone to deal with the Vampiress in front of her.
