Chapter 70 - Stamina
Alex spun the staff, deflecting the magic coming at her to the sides. Explosions and huge clouds of dust surrounded her as the magics thrown at her hit the ground.
"I am a genius of my clan!!! An apostle of chaos!!! Don't get in our way, human!!! The goblin shaman shouted as he threw his spell, yet he saw that not a single magic of his manage to touch her.
"Are you afraid!?" Alex muttered softly as she marched towards the goblin shaman. She took her time as she wanted to torture his mental state. Once someone pissed her off, she will hunt that person down until she has her revenge.
"How can a human like you exist!! Why!! Why!! Why!!" The goblin shaman's legs trembled as he felt the coldness in her voice. It was as if chaos was not enough to blind him from her bloodlust. He can see his death as he retreated every time the woman took a step forward.
"So noisy!!" Alex deflected a rock shard back towards its owner. Damaging the magic shield that surrounds him.. She doesn't understand what the goblin shaman is saying. But with all those growling noises it's making, paired with its small stature as small as a 5-year-old kid. It's like she was watching a child crying who got his toy stolen.
"Arghhh!!" The goblin shaman stumbled on as he tasted his own magic. The magic shield negated the damage but could not cancel out the impact of the attack.
"I should ask her father to teach me those moves..." Ezekiel mumbled as he saw Alex used his weapon with expertise and even better than him. If he learns how to be better at deflecting the enemy's attack. Then even if he can't move and dodge as well as Alex, he can attack the enemy from afar and survive longer.
"But I can't let her hold on to my weapon a lot more longer..." He can't bear to see Alex crush the enemy with his own weapon. While Alex kept the goblin shaman busy. Ezekiel has gone to the nearest weapon he could find and grabbed it.
"This should be good enough for her." Ezekiel hurriedly grabbed a black hammer a bit bigger than Alex's height that was used by a hobgoblin earlier. He did not think much of what he grabbed since Alex could pretty much use all of the weapons on the battlefield.
"CURSE YOU HUMAN!!" The goblin shaman growled as he crawled to the ground running away from her.
"FLAME STRIKE!!!!"
"WATER ORB!!!!"
"ICE ORB!!!!"
"DIE!!!"
"DIIEEEE!!!"
"DIIEEEEEEE!!!!!"
The goblin shaman aimed his hand at Alex as he casted all kinds of magic like crazy at her.
"There's nowhere to run in these vast plain, little shaman..." Alex deflected all of the magics thrown at her with ease. Alex felt her body changing every step she took. It was like her current body was getting stronger and stronger. However, this change is different than usual whenever she levels up, and her agility and strength increases. The difference this time is that only her stamina increased. But her body seemed to improve a lot more than usual when her agility and strength stats increased.
The change was gradual, but her current body is getting more accustomed to her strength that was pushed beyond the limits of her current body little by little.
Since the durability of her current body has increased. She can now also push the limit of her strength more without breaking her current body.
"Hi..." Alex looked down on the goblin shaman, like an ant. That was struggling to crawl on the ground to run from her.
"You monster!!! Demon!!! Magic shield!!!" The goblin shaman's body trembled as the monster he feared has arrived right in front of his face.
"This bubble won't protect you for long." Alex mumbled as she raised her staff in the air. And swung it to the goblin shaman's magic shield.
BANGGGG!!!
The staff bounced off away from the magic shield. Like she was hitting a rubber. Alex clenched her staff as she raised it into the air once more.
The magic shaman stared at his magic shield in fright as he saw ripples in the shield.
"TELEPORT!!!" Just as Alex's weapon was about to hit the goblin shaman's magic shield once more. He was able to use teleportation to escape from her grasp.
"CHAOS VORTEX!!!!" The space around Alex warps open, creating a raging vortex that keeps on drawing her in the center.
Followed after that, the goblin shaman raised his hands in the sky and roared. "THUNDERSTORM!!!" Dark clouds started gathering above her.
"Tsk, what a troublesome opponent." Alex tried jumping out of the raging vortex. However, the suction from the vortex is so strong that Alex stumbled on the ground while trying to escape.
"DIE HUMAN, DIE!!!!!!!"
"ROCK SHARD!!!!"
"ICE SHARD!!!!"
"FIREBALL!!!!" The goblin shaman laughed as he saw the woman's life force earlier, hanging by a thread. There is no way she could survive his attack this time.
"Huffff!!!" With nowhere to escape to Alex closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She examined the state of her body to determine how far can she push it to the limit.
Alex gently exhaled after she grasped the change in her body. She lifted her fingers to the base of her skull and softly pressed her fingers. Her breathing started to slow down, making her whole body relax and sense everything around her. Starting with the swaying of the grass to the crackles of the thunderstorm and the total chaos happening in the village gates. She can sense all of it.
BANNNNNGGGGG!!!! The first lightning strike hit her without being able to react at all.
Alex grits her teeth from the attack. The speed of light is so fast that even if she can sense it, she can do anything to dodge it. "Not enough..." The staff on Alex's hands fell to the ground as her hands hung to her side. It was as if it suddenly lost all of its strength.
BANNNNNGGGGG!!!! The second and third lighting struck.
She managed to move an inch, but she was still struck by it. "Tsk, this is impossible!!" Alex uttered as she dodged a fireball coming at her with ease.
BANNGGGGG!!!
Alex heard Lumiere's gentle voice the exact moment she was hit by another lightning strike. "Endure and trust your stamina."
