The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 590: Counterattack

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

There were three great mistaken impressions in life. “Someone’s looking for me (someone else’s cell phone rang)”, “She likes me”, and “I can defeat them”.

But when Harloys notified me that Little Red was actually waking up at this time, I was certain that this was no mistaken impression.

“My chance is here! I really can defeat her!”

I was quite familiar with Little Red’s power level. Her foundational path for powering up was to retain as many of her previous abilities as possible. Her old abilities would only become even stronger. Then, with me plus Little Red, I truly could counterattack and win!

The dragon egg in my backpack kept jumping around. Fire magic mana constantly emanated from the egg, indicating a lifeforce that was as powerful as a volcano about to erupt. There was no mistaking it. Little Red had finished powering up, and was about to break out of her egg.

Seeing Lasnina get ever closer to me, I gritted my teeth, and tossed out the dragon egg.

The dragon egg had extremely powerful magical wavelengths, to the point where Lasnina hurriedly dodged. She was on guard against something like a forbidden spell scroll, magical explosive, and so on.

“I choose you, Wargreymon… er, tiny fire dragon?”

As expected, fiery clouds enveloped the dragon egg while in midair, and a mighty… tiny fire dragon appeared in midair…

She was less than 1.5 meters in length. She had a round stomach and head, and red dragon wings that flapped slowly. She breathed out a tiny flame with a yawn. Indeed, she looked just like a tiny and cute fire dragon.

“Ein Mezus?”

The confused tiny dragon turned around as if there was a giant question mark on her head. No matter what her power level evolution was like, wasn’t there clearly a problem with such a cute form?

A strange silence permeated the entire battlefield. But, the next instant, Lasnina’s venomous snake form magic sword covered the entire sky. She was no idiot who would stand around doing nothing on the battlefield.

Seeing the Devil Lord violently attack, Little Red paused in surprise as she had just woken up. She then began to panic.

“Hiss.”

What a strange word. Could it be that Little Red was so shocked that she had lost the ability to speak?

“Damn it!”

This sudden development astonished me as well. But, I knew that if I waited around for a few seconds without doing anything, it was likely that Little Red would die here.

A silver sword clashed against the blood-red magic sword. With my dragonarmor on, I squarely blocked the snake-shaped sword that aimed for the tiny fire dragon. This was actually my first full-force direct physical confrontation with Lasnina.

Without even needing to look up, I could tell that the sky was filled with sword slices, and my back was covered in cursed creatures. In just a single exchange of blows, I was now completely at a disadvantage.

“She’s far too quick…”

Lasnina could wield her magic sword at a far quicker speed than any ordinary person would be able to react to. Although I was a Sword Saint at the very peak of humanity’s sword skills, this was still insufficient in front of a Devil Lord with millennia of experience.

A one-sided beating now occurred. Lasnina’s magic sword seemed to land blows on every inch on my body, which felt as disgusting as Lasnina’s hysterical laughter.

The next instant, an ice wall appeared in front of me. Although the ice wall was instantly shattered by the magic sword, I was able to catch my breath.

I wasn’t skilled enough to forcibly cast spells while being beaten up by a Devil Lord.

Red fireballs, black gravity bombs, white ice bullets, and various other colorful magical attacks suddenly covered the entire sky.

“Harloys…”

I turned around, and saw a flying black cat floating in midair. Perhaps it was because this opponent was truly too troublesome for me, or perhaps it was because Harloys had finally accumulated enough power. The several dozen magical arrays behind Harloys kept spitting out magical attacks of different colors.

The black cat had given herself a pair of bat wings to float with. She seemed exactly like a witch’s familiar out of a western fairy tale. She even clutched a tiny magical staff in her cat paw that she constantly waved around. She was also wearing a magical hat on her head that buffed her abilities, along with a tiny cape. Her other paw was constantly glowing as it held onto a silver magical hourglass.

Harloys seemed somewhat comical. What was more, she was really cute.

The dozens of magical arrays behind her constantly turned as if they were alive. Actually, Harloys was controlling all of them to constantly change as the magic arrays touched each other.

Fireballs, inferno explosions, flame drills, sea of fire, fire dragonbreath. Lightning strikes, lightning balls, chain lightning. Magic arrays of the same type combined with each other to constantly upgrade to higher-level attack magic spells. However, what I found the most inconceivable was that these magic arrays weren’t using even one bit of Harloys’ mana. Somehow, these magic arrays were self-sustained.

Harloys’ assistance finally gave me the chance to recover. Now that the silly cat had finally entered Myth rank together with me, she would be comparable to when she previously had been at the peak of her power. When considering all her experience and her “real age”, perhaps she was even more powerful than Little Red.

“A magical version of a perpetual motion machine? Is this for real?”

“It’s a simple application of balance between the four elements. Ha, don’t bother studying it. You’ll never be able to learn it in your life.”

These ordinary low-level elemental attack spells became incredibly fancy under Harloys’ control. I focused slightly on checking all the magic attack spells being used, and saw that some spells had far surpassed what ordinary magic arrays of the four elements should have been able to produce. I saw highly difficult elven secret moon and star magic, alchemists’ metal separation and destruction magic, and even ogre witch doctors’ curses.

Now that the silly cat was no longer limited by an undead physical body, she could fully use all of her tens of thousands of years’ worth of accumulated knowledge. All the various colorful magical attacks in the sky seemed like they came right out of a magical museum. Just the variety alone was astonishing.

Every type of magic attack came from a different branch of magic. All of these magic attacks would also require different formulas. Delayed explosions, attacks that flew in curved arcs, cluster bomb attacks, bouncing attacks, and so on filled the sky as if a willful child had drawn randomly upon a drawing board.

The spells in the sky were uncountable. Although most of them were low-level magic spells at four circles or lower, there were still more than half that I couldn’t even comprehend.

Once again, I confirmed just why Harloys had the renowned nickname of “All-knowing”. Perhaps the silly cat had simply been limited in power by her physical body for far too long. Maybe it was now time for her to truly show her strength.

Even an entire angel army would probably be instantly destroyed by so much widescale AOE attack magic… But, a Devil Lord would be far more difficult to defeat than any angel army!

Lasnina’s magic sword once again began to maniacally slice at everything, casually tearing dimensional cracks in the air. Countless cursed creatures came out from the dimensional cracks. Some of these creatures became Lasnina’s shields, while others went up to and began to devour the pure magic attacks.

Perhaps it would have required unique measures to deal with each magic attack individually. However, summoning sacrificial cannon fodder to absorb the attacks indeed seemed like the simplest and most direct measure to deal with this.

Harloys also knew quite well that it was impossible for these low-level magic attacks to become a life-threatening danger to Lasnina. However, she continued to utter magical incantations. Meanwhile, she angrily roared at me in our soul connection.

“Hey, idiot, stop standing around and watching the show! Can’t you see that I’m uttering an incantation? Go act as a cannon fodder… er, tank for me!”

Tsk, since my sword techniques were absolutely suppressed, and my magic level was immensely inferior to Lasnina’s, it indeed seemed that my defensive prowess was all I had left going for me.

I could only smile wryly as I instantly flashed in front of Lasnina. I would have to act the role of tank in this fight now.

And at this moment, the forgotten tiny fire dragon… Little Red suddenly appeared in front of Lasnina and spat out a fireball.
