Battle Type Humanoid-III

A humanoid specifically developed for combat, belonging to the strategic unit, simplified operation version. Exoskeleton enhancement, resistant to certain magical damage, capable of using scroll magic, maximum capacity of 5 scrolls.

Although the display of the title is a bit troublesome, the information should still be quite comprehensive.

Looking at the humanoid with its metallic exterior, I smiled.

"So you're a humanoid master? I didn't expect to encounter a humanoid master in such a remote place. It's truly rare~"

With a strong push, I sent the humanoid flying, and an ice totem pushed it out.

Nine-fold Ice Arrow!

Nine ice arrows directly hit the airborne humanoid from various directions, but the effect...was super lousy, almost negligible. Seeing the HP bar only slightly decrease, my mouth twitched.

Is this exoskeleton made of Mithril? Its magic defense is unexpectedly high!

Ice Fall!

Boom!

Anticipating the humanoid's position, while it was still in the air, a huge block of ice smashed directly onto it, and the entire block of ice and humanoid crashed to the ground.

"How do you feel?"

I smiled and looked at Maho.

"Now, can we have a proper talk?"

"Hmph! You think it's over just like that? It's not that simple!"

Snap!

Suddenly, the block of ice pressing down on the humanoid was cut in half, and an eight-legged monster jumped out from the crack!

What is this thing?

Instinctively, I summoned an ice shield, and the next moment, two claws like scythes stabbed into my ice shield from above!

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that this humanoid's hands and feet had directly split into upper and lower sections, with hooks hidden in between extending outward.

Wait? There are only two claws here, then...

I immediately gave up the ice shield and retreated, but four sharp blades instantly sliced the ice shield into pieces from two directions.

This is simply a complete killing machine!

Seeing that its attack had no effect on me, the humanoid suddenly bent down and rushed towards me like a spider, its speed nearly matching that of a tank.

What on earth is driving this? Is it still a humanoid?

Valley of Ice!

A row of ice spikes rose from the floor and directly stabbed towards the humanoid's direction. The humanoid bounced and actually jumped over it from above!

But when you're in the air, you can't move, right?

I waved my hand, and a huge ice totem beneath the ice spikes hit the humanoid's abdomen, propelling it into mid-air. At the same time, an Ice Flower bloomed in mid-air and the humanoid crashed into it!

"Now..."

Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly felt a chill behind me, and the attack warning sounded. I drew my sword and turned around, colliding with Maho's sword.

"I forgot that you're also a thief. It seems like you couldn't resist watching anymore."

"No choice, after all, you...are just too strong. Who exactly are you?"

"If you want to know, at least you want to say it, since I asked first."

"Hmph!"

The opponent swung something at me, and I quickly blocked it with my sword. But when my sword touched it, a burst of heat surged out!

A fire magic scroll?

I quickly jumped back to dodge, but the flames had already ignited.

Tundra Devourer!

My whole body was enveloped in a frosty mist, which then turned into water under the burning flames, extinguishing the fire on me.

However, this burn had depleted half of my health. It seems that the opponent's magic is at least an Arcane level magic scroll!

A level 15 thief carrying an Arcane level scroll, it's truly unbelievable. There's only one possibility, this guy definitely hides many secrets.

For example, about Oyado's secret or something.

With this thought in mind, I spread my angel wings and looked towards the direction of Maho after healing myself.

During this time, the opponent didn't attack, but instead ran to the humanoid that had been knocked away and directly removed its head. Then, they ripped open their own clothes and inserted the head's plug directly into their chest!

Oh my god, what has triggered you?

Just as I finished expressing my surprise, the humanoid's chest directly opened and turned into straps that fastened Maho's body.

"Ahhh!!!"

A painful scream, and in the next moment, the humanoid's eight legs stretched upwards like tentacles!

My god, you still have fusion ability?

Before I could think further, the opponent suddenly kicked with their two legs and four additional legs, rushing towards me.

"Ice Valley!"

Ice spikes rushed forward, but this time the opponent only used their feet to step on the ground and dodged the attack by shifting their body to the right. Then, with another kick, they rushed towards me again!

Are you a flea?

Nine-layer Ice Arrow!

Three arrows attacked from the front, six flew towards him from behind, and nine blue trails intersected and passed through him.

Wait, they intersected?

Upon closer inspection, the opponent actually spun in mid-air and dodged all nine ice arrows. Afterward, their body spun back into its original position and then jumped up abruptly!

The knife in their hand, along with the blade, glinted in the air. At the same time, their body suddenly accelerated and spun directly towards me!

"Imperial Ice Court!"

A huge ice wall instantly erected between us. Looking at the thick wall, I felt my pounding heart finally calm down for a moment.

However, a strong impact sound made my heart race again! And it sounds like the noise of a chainsaw!

Oh my god, could it be that this thing is continuously spinning to try and cut through the ice wall? Although it is intermediate magic, it is still my strongest ice defense magic!

This guy can actually cut it open?

This style of fighting is so strange, right? It's not even at the same level as the attacks of the Sito siblings from before! Are they fighting with their lives?

Crack!

Seeing the wall actually crack, my heart skipped a beat, and I gripped the katana in my hand again!

This guy's proficiency in controlling the humanoid is extraordinary, huh? To break through my ice wall using this method?

But they are able to do so because their humanoid contains mithril, which can counter magic. Otherwise, how could they cut through such a solid ice wall?

The sound of cutting is getting closer and closer. I immediately summoned my ice armor! At the same time, I activated the abilities of Extreme Shadow, Wind Spirit, and Acceleration!

A green light instantly enveloped my whole body. At the same time, a hole cracked in the ice wall above, and the rotating humanoid fell straight down!

Because of the limit on magic power, I cannot use too much Arcane. In that case...

"Arcane·Extreme Storm!"

The green tornado rushed towards the rotating humanoid, constantly distorting their rotating form with the green wind.

The axis of rotation for the humanoid is horizontal, while the axis of rotation for the tornado is vertical. These two completely opposing rotations suddenly disrupted their rhythm.

As their speed gradually slowed down, I smiled slightly and activated "Enhancement."

"Ice Totem!"

Then, the ice totem instantly transported me to the side of the humanoid. I swung my katana, directly sending them flying!

The opponent crashed heavily to the ground, at the same time, I severed the four claws defending against my attack, which fell to the ground.

"Surrender, you have no chance of winning."

"Hahaha..."

But the opponent stood up straight and looked at me with eyes full of exhaustion.

"Even so, I will do my best to fight you, because otherwise, even if I survive, there won't be a way out for me... Of course, there won't be one for you either!"

After finishing speaking, the opponent kicked towards me again with the remaining claws!

"Oh... you really are pitiful, but..."

I sighed and sheathed my katana, replacing it with blasphemer.

"...fall into endless darkness, Arcane · Infinite · Millennium Glacier!"

In the next second, a hundreds of meters high iceberg appeared in front of me, encasing the horse and his humanoid firmly in ice.
