CHAPTER 90: DARKNESS AND BLACK MAGIC STONES
When I turned around, I saw only darkness.
A translucent, wavering silhouette that barely maintained its human form.
Its nose and ears had been cut off, and the face was thin and gaunt.
Moreover, there is only darkness swirling in the two hollowed-out eye sockets.
As soon as I saw the darkness in front of me, my whole body went rigid, and I unconsciously fell back, shouting and swinging my spear.
“Waaa!”
My spear pierced the thing several times, but there was no reaction.
There it is, a ghost.
Before moving down here, I learned that only magic attacks work against it, so I try to prepare magic my spell.
However, the ghost quickly approached me and grabbed my neck with both hands.
It is not strong, but I cannot remove it using my hands.
I can’t touch it at all, but I have to do something!
With that in mind, I found that something was being drawn out from me.
“Ugu!”
Dangerous! This is definitely bad news!
Something important to people’s lives… and it is being drawn out of my body!
As my body sounds the alarm, I quickly invoked a spell that came to mind
“Light, shoot down my enemy! [Light Ball]!”
The magic power gathered in my right hand and turned into a ball of light, which shot out from my right hand that was thrust out in front of the ghost right in front of it, hitting the ghost.
At that moment, the [Light Ball] exploded brightly, and I was pushed a little bit, staggering a few steps back.
“… Aa… Aa…”
I quickly looked ahead and saw the ghost disappearing as if it were melting into the air.
And then a black magic stone fell down on the spot.
Once again, silence fell over the surroundings.
“…”
Was it over? No, it must be over because it left a magic stone behind.
“Divine light, heal your people, [Holy Light].”
There seems to be no injuries anywhere, but there was something similar to fatigue left in my body.
Then, when I tried using [Holy Light], the sensation of fatigue disappeared.
I tried using it with the game-like concept of recovering using recovery magic whenever HP decreases, and it seems that it was not a mistake.
…Perhaps, a little while ago it was sucking my vitality or something like HP.
That’s why I guess I recovered it using recovery magic.
However… Where did that thing come from?
I was paying proper attention to my surroundings, but suddenly I was taken from behind.
This was more than a little annoying.
The only saving grace was that its attack and defense power didn’t seem to be that high.
I’ve only fought it once, but the life force sucking attack doesn’t seem to be an instant death attack, and I was able to defeat it with a single light ball.
Well, I don’t want to have to go through that heart-wrenching experience again and again, and I don’t want to have my vitality sucked out again.
I walked to the place where the ghost disappeared and picked up the black magic stone that had fallen on the ground.
“…It’s black.”
It is still black even if I bring it under the [Light Source] for a closer look.
Magic stones are usually oval and have a dull reddish-purple color.
Sometimes a darkish color, but it’s never black.
However, this magic stone has the same shape as a normal magic stone, but the color is as black as the darkness of the night.
“Is this the magic crystal I heard from before?”
I’m sure you’ve heard from a blacksmith before that when a magic stone is crystallized with a bias towards a certain attribute, it’s called a magic crystal.
I’m sure he said something about fusing them with armor to make an attribute weapon.
If that’s the case, considering the color of this one and the fact that Ghost had it… it would be a dark attribute magic crystal.
