After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 548

Chapter 548: Gochi’s Battle
“IMPOSSIBLE!” He yelled, and a few others watching also gaped.

Some Alterans had taken down many of the guards and had the time to watch. “Miss Althea is so OP!”

“I knew she was strong but… that’s a level 30 elementalist! Does that mean she can take on even stronger? She can totally fit in towns, then?”

Of course, while it was miraculous for a level 10 to survive a level 30 elementalist’s continuous attacks, it wasn’t that easy.

A moment later, Althea coughed a bit of blood.

“Miss Althea!” Gochi yelled, positioning himself in front of her, not noticing his own wounds.

She waved her hand.

The armor was an armor to block attacks, but if the level difference was high—especially if it was elementalist attacks—then she’d still feel some of the internal impacts. So she would still try to avoid them lest she get internal injuries.

“It’s fine,” she said, “Focus on the enemy. He shouldn’t have much mana left after that.”

Gochi nodded, turning, immediately lunging to attack the man. He didn’t want to give him a chance to use whatever mana he had left.

At this point, Belize was just shaken seeing him being pushed like this by people half and a third of his level!

With red eyes he raised his hands, he called the wind elements around him, slashing them to meet the half-orc.

“AH!” Gochi yelled as a strong gust of sharp wind passed him. Deeper scratches appeared on his strong skin, and he was thrown far away.

Belize was filled with bloodlust and he actually started targeting the half-orc, determined to kill one of them as soon as possible.

“Gochi!” Althea exclaimed, raising her hand and a boulder 1 meter in diameter appeared above Belize.

It fell down and he had to step back. When he saw a small part could still land on him he used a little mana to push the location of its fall.

He turned to look at Althea, who was still a few meters away.

Belize had no idea where she got the boulder, but at least she got his attention.

In fact, the boulder came out right from her space. She always had a boulder in her space. It wasn’t any bigger than 1 cubic meter though so as to not betray that she had space stones.

As for how far they could make them appear, it would depend on how far the ‘image’ of the magic space overlaid with their dimension.

Since her space was larger than others, this meant that she could make it appear from farther than others as well. Similarly, she didn’t have to touch things before putting them in space anymore!

She called the pieces of the stone that broke into many pieces to surround her, and Belize—not expecting her to be able to control stones so far away—was hit by the stones.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It didn’t really hurt him much, but it did ache and his pride was once again stomped on, making him very angry.

He was an elementalist so much stronger than she was! She shouldn’t even be able to touch his shoes!

At those thoughts, he took out an expensive-looking bottle from his space and gulped it down.

It was his only bottle of mana potion left and, in anger, he threw the bottle away in a random direction. Althea’s eyes were partially distracted by the bottle he threw away, but quickly concentrated on the battle at hand.

At this point, Belize didn’t seem to care about his mana and was determined to just take her down swiftly before he ran out of it.

The same blades from before surrounded him, but he pushed himself, making them appear even larger than the one before. He was pale and sweating, but he counted on this attack to weaken her equipment.

The rotating stones clashed with his wind slashes, chipping them away quickly. After all, how could a low-level earth user like her fight against such wind?

Of course, Althea would never uselessly waste her own mana. The earth dropped on the surface, immediately creating spikes on the floor between them. Belize’s armor equipment was only weaker Class C, and his footwear was even lower.

He felt little tingles in his feet, and this slight distraction made him almost miss a sharp earth spike that went straight to his face.

Almost, and he used a wind skill to block it. It was sent at a tricky angle though so it still hit and grazed his arm.

He frowned. If he was sure he wouldn’t be hunted down due to the Visionstone, he’d have sold it off instead of giving it away.

At the time he thought that if Fargo was unsatisfactory, then he’d just take over. By that time, the Visionstone was already integrated to his own token so it wouldn’t have mattered.

Now, he was regretting it a bit. He should’ve sold the Visionstone in the black market to get a couple of good equipment, instead.

This moment of melancholy lasted a second and Belize threw all the blades in Althea’s direction the next instant.

The wind blades reached Althea, hitting her like a truck. Althea blocked herself from another attack, but this one was stronger and there was no Gochi to catch her back.

She coughed, being thrown to another roof. Belize ran forward and didn’t give her time to stand up.

“Miss Althea!” The people below yelled, with quite a few people long trying to get up the roof (tho sadly blown away by Belize’s raging winds).

They could only watch as Belize hovered over Althea, who was lying on her back. He extended his hand upward, the flow of his hair and shirt indicative that the wind surrounded him, concentrating on his arms.

His eyes were red and everyone knew this was his final shot with all of his remaining mana.

Before he could stab her with the invisible wind blade, a shadow rushed in. “MISS ALTHEA!” the newcomer yelled, eyes at the woman he admired—a woman who believed in him and had taught him so many things—

He was a bit bloody but his eyes were red, blocking the aborigine with his body, sharp golden eyes looking straight at him. “FREEZE!”

Gochi growled, summoning his low-success skill in his desperation.

[Used! Partial paralysis skill!]

Belize’s eyes widened as—even for just those few seconds—he couldn’t move at all.

“Miss Althea!” Gochi yelled and Althea flinched, realizing what he had done.

Althea knew that the effect of the skill would be limited due to the high level difference. She didn’t hesitate to attack.

As she laid down, a little weak, she took out the Bellagio and used all of her remaining mana to aim it at his head.

Whoosh!

Splack!!

Everyone watched as the magical arrow embedded on Belize’s skull. The effect of the paralysis was over, but Belize couldn’t move. He just stood, shaking, and soon lost the feeling of his body and falling down head first, all the way to the ground.

Several Alterans converged to see his dying body, looking at the sky, still absorbing what was happening to him.

Never in his dreams would he imagine that he’d fall in a small village.

But he did.

He let out slight croaking sounds as if trying to speak, but nothing came out in the end.

And, just like that, Belize was no more.
