I Never Run Out of Mana - Chapter 186

Chapter 186

186 . It Is the End!

Galima’s fishnet-like attacks continued .

These attacks came from all directions, and they weren’t something I could avoid just by moving quickly .

Fleeing to higher ground and hiding my presence with stealth didn’t work either .

Like a heat seeking missile, the attacks chased me relentlessly .

And each time the attacks struck, the King’s Marble’s effects would chipped away, and I would continue to suffer minor injuries that were mounting up .

The frequency of using the marbles and Status Denial had increased severely .

The continued attacks triggered Gera’s attack reflecting ability, but perhaps due to their attacks being the same affinity as their form, instead of dealing damage, their body just absorbed it .

And wasn’t as if the powers of light and darkness added into the reflected attack had any effect on them either .

I felt that I should be able to finish this with just a single proper attack, but it was much easier said than done .

The God of Life Wheatgrass’s ability to revive was useless in this situation, so the only thing left I could trust in was the God of Earth Dehaka’s ability .

Dehaka’s ability was amazing .

Not only did it seal away the ability of the opponent, but it was powerful enough that they wouldn’t be able to ignore it with their powerful defensive capabilities .

I believed that adding mana and magical energy onto Dehaka’s power would bring me results .

It seemed that I would have to pour in every bit of power I could use at my disposal against them .

“Hm? Is this Dehaka’s?”

“……”

I used Dehaka’s ability that sealed away abilities .

Countless fist sized orbs spun around my body .

If I was able to hit one of their attacks with this, then they would become powerless as well .

I could 100% hit the fishnet-like attack that tracked me, and their spear and shield were also targets of consideration .

“It was one of the abilities that I wanted most . However, will you be able to hit me with it?”

“I wonder? I’m about to try now . ”

“Kuha! A situation befitting of a loser, being without a plan and all . ”

“I also am pretty good at swinging in thin air, you know? If you think you can avoid it, go ahead and try . ”

“Hm?”

Even while allowing their attacks to connect with me, I fired the sealing orbs .

And I didn’t hurl them at Galima’s field of view, but similar to how Wheatgrass pulled the trigger of their pistol, I had fired it at thin air .

If they swung their spear in random frenzy to torture me, then I should repay the favor in the same manner .

The moment that the sealing orbs left my hand, they disappeared from view .

Just as Wheatgrass did, these orbs will continue hiding from view and fly in when I want them to .

“It looks like this is going to be a fight where we trade blows till mutual destruction is guaranteed… . . But even I’m out of options . If I just defeat you, then this short but shitty life in the celestial plane is over . Let’s eat these marbles until my belly pops!”

“Kuhu… . It shouldn’t have been long since you’ve obtained the powers of the gods… . . ”

“To be precise, not a day hasn’t passed . I’m pretty smart I guess . ”

“Your actions are in vain! The God of Water cannot kneel before a human! Come!”

I felt that I cannot simply just hurl orbs at them, so I materialized a sword and charged at them .

It didn’t matter how much damage I took .

My real intention was to draw their attention and break their focus .

I was trying to create an opening where I could hit them with the sealing orb .

Both my cheeks were puffed up from the amount of marbles in my mouth, and I was continuing to think of ways to ambush them with the sealing orb while using Status Denial to keep up with the injuries .

Putting myself under a complete trance, I focused only on sealing their abilities .

Due to all the combat I’ve experienced, my body would move on its own .

If it was a dangerous attack, my body would avoid it, and if they showed a weak spot, my body wouldn’t miss that chance .

With such a capability, it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that my body was already completely used to combat .

After I swung my sword, the area around us was filled with the sound of a sonic boom, and I saw their shield before me .

The attack definitely struck .

It was an attack with a 100% success rate and ignored resistances after all .

However, Galima’s shield was not penetrated .

No . To be precise, the part that was destroyed from the sword’s incredible destructive force had returned back to its original form in the blink of an eye .

That was right . Since the shield wasn’t a part of their body, I couldn’t stop it from restoring itself .

Using the immense amount of water around us, they had repaired their shield .

I didn’t actually expect this attack to deal any damage to them, but I didn’t imagine in the slightest that it would be so easily blocked .

Despite having the power of five gods in my body, this was all the strength that I could display in a single attack .

This also proved that they were that much stronger .

It was then .

As expected, their fishnet attack came towards me .

The moment that the attack connected with my body, I threw my sealing orb at it .

I could hear the sound of a massive explosion follow .

This sound meant that the sealing orb had done its job .

The net and the orb that made contact with each other were engulfed in a huge explosion, and the countless cuts that I should have been struck with following the net didn’t come, disappearing in a strangely quiet manner .

One of their abilities had been successfully sealed .

“The fishnet is gone . Now what should I aim for next?”

“Kuhu… . You little… . . ”

“Wheatgrass showed me two abilities, you know? Since you’re much stronger… . How many more do you have left?”

“Do not anger me further! You will regret doing so!”

“Since I’ve already poked the hornet’s nest, shouldn’t I see to it till the end?”

“As I said before, I’ve overheard everything you and Karupedan spoke about . ”

“Unbefitting of a god… . Despite being one, you’ve eavesdropped on us?”

“Kuha . Do you know why I, a God of Water, is ranked 1st above all?”

“That’s because you are the strongest out of the six gods . ”

“That is the biggest reason . However, for a human like you who is trying to challenge the realm of the gods, you will be fearing my existence more . ”

“Hm? Are you planning to drown me underwater?”

“You’ll find out soon enough… . . ”

“But what about this? I’ve already tested it all before coming in here . I don’t need to breathe . This means that I can fight underwater no problem . ”

“Now, let’s put that to the test . ”

“Such a fruitless effort… . . ”

With a battle roar, Galima sunk into the floor .

Almost as if becoming foam in a split moment, they had disappeared all of a sudden .

After they disappeared, the situation for me, a human, became especially cruel .

“Ugh!”

“Die . Perish slowly while struggling and flailing in pain!”

Almost as if by magic, my body was underwater .

I blinked just for a second .

However, the area around me changed and the environment had changed even further .

This is similar to what happened after Karupedan snapped her fingers .

That wasn’t the only thing that changed .

Suddenly, my body that was moving fine before suddenly felt dehydrated .

“Kuhaha! While trying to have fun, you’ve lost an ability instead . Well, with the other abilities you have, this is worth the trade . Now, what happened to you telling me that you didn’t need to breathe?”

“Ugh!”

Like a regular human, I wanted air .

This situation didn’t make any sense .

Before entering this place, noticing how strange what Karupedan said sounded like, I had prepared myself a bit ahead of time .

Since I was facing the God of Water, I had prepared myself for an underwater fight .

I definitely did not need air outside .

Since I was far beyond the realm of what was considered a human, I thought it was normal for it to be the case .

However, I desired for air right now .

And it was as if I had held my breath as much as possible and desperately wanted to breathe .

I felt as though my eyes would roll over and I would lose consciousness any second .

Only a single thing came to mind .

A balloon made from mana . The air inside of it .

“Pfft! That’s the balloon filled with Karupedan’s mockery . I wonder how long you can last with that . ”

“Huff! Whew . ”

Since they had eavesdropped on the conversation between me and Karupedan, they knew about the balloon’s existence .

They were speaking as if they were ridiculing me for that .

The idea of saving face wasn’t even on my mind .

Putting my head into the balloon, I drank in as much air as possible .

The thought of even trying to understand the sudden change in situation didn’t even come .

The only thing on my mind was that I needed to drink in this air so that I could survive .

Only after that did my body and mind find calm and began to assess the situation .

The balloons that I brought were 2 .

They were quite large mana pouches, but it was obvious that I wouldn’t last 30 minutes .

I decided not to bother thinking about why I suddenly needed air .

The situation was dire enough that my brain using air to think about it felt wasteful .

I pondered for but a brief moment . I moved my body as fast as I could to escape the water .

However, the depth was too great for me to even see the end of it .

Despite taking in air and swimming up for awhile, I couldn’t see a speck of light .

It didn’t take long before I came to a decision .

I had come to the conclusion that I needed to defeat them as soon as possible .

Other than that method, I couldn’t think of any other solutions .

While all this was going on, I could hear their sarcastic remarks .

“The amount of time you have left on your hands isn’t much . But what can you do . You cannot even find the location of my form . It seems that all you can do is watch your supply run out and meet your death . ”

“……”

“If you are scared of that remaining time, drink the water . That way you can die a quick and painless death at the least . Just a single sip is all that will take . No matter how strong your body is… . . No matter what kind of an existence you are, a single gulp is all that’s needed . Kuhaha! Then enjoy this pain . ”

“……”

I could hear Galima’s voice, but despite keeping both my eyes peeled, I could not see their form .

It wasn’t because of the complete darkness that didn’t have a speck of light .

Despite emitting light to brighten up the area around me or use the Eye of Insight to find them, it wasn’t enough .

Attacking them right now still might not spare me enough time, yet I couldn’t even guess their location .

Time that kept on ticking past without remorse felt cruel .

“Huff! Whew . ”

I didn’t have a choice .

I cast forth Dehaka’s ability .

Red magma poured out from my body, and when it came into contact with the water, a violent reaction occurred, evaporating the water .

If it was just Dehaka’s ability alone, it would have cooled easily before Galima’s power, but the situation was different now .

After all, I had poured all of my power into Dehaka’s ability instead .

‘Draining the entire reservoir to catch fish? It wouldn’t be even worth the cost of the manpower . ’

“You little! Do you think I’d leave you alone to do so!”

Noticing my intentions, Galima attempted an attack .

Spear shaped pillars of water came at me from all directions .

However, Dehaka and Galima . Was it because of how their elements were polar opposites? I wasn’t receiving any damage .

There was the contrast of elements to consider, but I was reminded of just how high Dehaka’s defensive ability was again .

How much time had passed?

I had already put my head into the mana balloon countless times .

I could see a very small amount of light coming through above my head .

‘It’s almost done . Just a bit more!’

“Die! Die! Give up your powers!”
