The Extra's Indifference

I didn't know why the headaches that tortured me for a while suddenly disappeared and I didn't care about it either.

The headache, which was making my already hard life harder, was gone and in front of me was an [A] rank mana monster, werewolf, who was ready to kill me for a small mistake I shouldn't make.

But now, I was more ready than before as I now could use chantless magic without any problem.

With a thought, I repaired my cracked blood dagger. Then, I made it stronger than before using 10% of my total mana reserves.

I needed this dagger in this fight more than else, so it was a sensible use of mana.

The werewolf understood that something had changed as its eyes were drawn to my dagger.

In the blur of the moment, it appeared before me, swinging its claws horizontally from both sides.

I parried the werewolf's left claw with my dagger and blocked its right claw with an ice shield that materialized on the side of my arm.

It was easy to react to its fast attacks and movements with my faster than normal reflexes caused by my transformed nerves and brain.

But it was still stronger than me, hence it broke the ice shield and made me take a few steps back to avoid the coming claws.

But the werewolf was determined to not give me time to think of a more detailed plan to kill it.

It lunged at me without any care for its life and tried to bite my head off with its huge mouth and sharp teeth.

Which I evaded with a [Blink] spell and appeared behind it. Then I sent lots of mana into my right arm and without losing any more seconds, I swung the dagger to its back.

Its back was torn open with my strong and precise slash causing a few drops of blood to fall from its wound.

It wasn't much and I would lose if I continued to fight like this, but it was enough for me to act more aggressively.

The werewolf didn't even notice this small wound and threw a kick to me without even turning towards me.

I was caught off guard by the sudden attack and thrown back several meters before crashing to the ground.

But I got up before the werewolf jumped at me and materialized ice around its legs to slow it down.

I knew that my measly ice magic wouldn't stop it for more than a second but I needed even a mere second to gather more mana and injure this mana monster severely.

My strength and dexterity was lower than this mana beast. And my mana quality and quantity wasn't different either.

I was barely staying alive against this werewolf, hence I decided to use a huge amount of mana to kill this monster without dragging any further.

The mana inside my blood gathered into my hand, creating deep bluish light.

I wasn't going to cast a chantless magic right now. I needed to chant to use my mana more efficiently.

I opened my mouth as the unknown gibberish flowed out from it, rune language.

The werewolf's hair stood out as it looked at me with a wary gaze and ran to me on all fours.

It was trying to interrupt my chant to make my efforts useless but I was ready to get injured from this monster's corrosive claws if it meant that I could cast the spell I was chanting.

I side stepped, escaping most of its claws that still cut my cheek open, melting my flesh with its acidic properties.

The werewolf continued to attack me with its claws, legs and teeth but I still evaded them with some injuries while continuing my chant.

My chant was about to end after escaping from the deadly claws of the werewolf for minutes.

My legs were barely functioning because of the blood loss I was experiencing. My body was filled with cuts that some of them melted due to black liquid and the bones of my left arm were open to see for everyone.

Even my storage artifact flew to the forest after receiving a blow from the werewolf. Hence I didn't have any way to heal myself other than using [Bloody Healing].

I was about to die because of the blood loss but I didn't care about it. I was just realizing the wish of Aria and trying my best to live.

Fortunately, the last unknown words left my mouth and the mana in my hand moved through the werewolf enveloping its whole body.

The mana turned into an ice sphere and inside was the werewolf.

Then, needless like ice pieces bulged out from the inside of the sphere and the sphere began to shrink towards werewolf.

The werewolf punched the walls of the sphere without minding if the ice needles got into its hands but it was futile.

I had used 80% of my mana reserves leaving only a small amount for the emergency.

It wasn't impossible to break it if it was just a random barrier but it wasn't.

The name of this magic was [Ice Coffin], which I modified myself after learning lots of important knowledge about magic in the academy.

This sphere's strong point was that I could add the toughness of one part of the sphere to another part, making it harder than the rest.

This monster was intelligent, but it wasn't intelligent enough to notice this fact and try to strike the weakened part of the sphere.

The ice coffin shrank without stopping, crushing the werewolf's limbs and impaling them with the tiny but still painful ice needles, making it impossible for it to punch the ice sphere any longer.

It growled madly as it tried to headbutt the ice sphere but it couldn't because of its long, wolf like mouth.

The werewolf wasn't going to die with this as the ice coffin stopped shrinking after a while and just stood still.

It was apparent that this ice coffin wasn't going to hold this werewolf too long. Maybe a few minutes, and this mana monster wouldn't die just bleeding for a few minutes.
