Manaless Mage

Chapter 115  Level up!

      'Shit… this is bad, very bad.' Harry mumbled inwardly. If not that his skin was currently hardened like stone, beads of sweat would have pooled on his face.

    It seemed like the mana beast finally activated his trait, although Harry wasn't sure what it was, he guessed that it was one related to doubling the beast's speed.

     However, he doubted the beast could keep the trait up for long.

   With his mana sense, he could sense a lot of mana oozing out of the beast. Since it was only a peak stage two beast, its mana pool probably wasn't that large so it was sure to run out of mana.

    The injuries he inflicted on the beast hadn't healed also, one of its eyes was still close and the one on his neck still bleed a little.

   'All I need is to land a few more hits… just a few more.' Harry mumbled.

[-50 energy points]

   Another notification appeared in front of his eyes, this was mainly because [Earth Skin] was still activated.

   It had already absorbed the hit from before and the cracks on it had already mended. But that was what made it drain more energy.

   However, despite this, Harry didn't deactivate the skill. Though it was a move that could be considered quite reckless, he knew he didn't have a choice since he had basically no other way to block any of the beast's hits.

    He should be fine, as long as he didn't take too much hits. As for how to avoid the beast's attacks, he already had a plan, though it was a risky one.

   'Add 20 stat points to perception stat.'

[+20 stat points added to perception]

   'If I can't follow it, then I'll just have to use my perception to guess where it would strike!' It was just like he expected, it was a risky plan.

SCREECH!!!!

    The cobra suddenly wailed before its figure vanished before Harry's eyes once more.

    Harry gnashed his teeth together, his heart started pounding so fast that for a moment he felt it might jump out of his chest.

   The mana beast hurriedly rotated its body sideways, due to its movements, its tail coiled backwards before swinging towards Harry with great speed, with the aim to strike Harry's side with it.

   However, just before the attack was about to hit Harry, he felt a sudden tingling sensation at the back of his neck.

   'Wind burst!' Immediately, a large gust of wind merged at his side before suddenly blasting him away from the path of the attack.

[-30 Energy points]

    The snake's tail hit the ground instead, due to the force and weight behind it, the grasses fluttered violently and dust rose up from the ground.

    Harry staggered a little before finally regaining his position, since the skill basically pushed him away from the path of the strike, it was quite difficult to maintain balance after its use.

=====

[Wind Burst]

—Level 1

—Use the power of the wind to propel yourself forward, bringing about a short burst of speed.

=====

    The skill [Wind Burst] was exactly what would expect from the name.

   It wasn't as easy to use as boost skills like [Lightning Dash] or [Accelerate], however it also had its pros and benefits.

   Since it mainly acted as a propeller of some sorts, changing directions after using the skill wasn't easy, and it could also be dangerous if one didn't control the spell properly.

    If the burst was too weak, then it would only propel the person by a few centimetres and most, and if it was too strong, the force would definitely make the caster lose balance or even worse, sustain serous injuries.

    But Harry knew better than anyone to lose his balance.

   The moment he regained his footing, he quickly spun his body around, with lightning dancing around his body, and then swung his hand three times, sending three wind slashes towards the cobra.

[-50 Energy points]

    Since the cobra had just attacked, it took a moment for it to regain its momentum, leaving it no chance to dodge Harry's attacks.

    The three wind attacks collided with the snake's body, leaving three deep cuts from which blood bled from.

SCREECH!!!

    The cobra let out another wail while wriggling its body around.

    'Its clearly on its last legs, it's severely wounded and its injuries aren't healing as fast as before.' Harry quickly took note.

    However, it was obvious that the beast didn't plan on giving up as it quickly turned around before dashing towards Harry once more.

   'I can't really follow its speed, but I can sense it somewhat!' Just before the beast attack hit him, there was always this tingling sensation at the back of his mind that warned him of the incoming danger.

    This was how he managed to escape its attack the first time, and even now.

   And this time, the mana beast's speed seemed to be even slower!

   Its head was facing Harry and its mouth was wide open, revealing the sharp fangs of the beast.

   'Wind Burst!' Harry shouted inwardly. But this time, he made the burst of wind form in his front rather than at his side.

   The force of the wind blasted him backwards, just before the cobra's wide open mouth closed in on him, making him miss the cobra's bite by a hairbreadth.

    The moment he landed, he quickly made a dash to the side.

   He ran towards the side of the beast and then quickly launched three [Wind needles] in quick succession.

    The needles travelled in the air with great speed, before piercing the mana beast in three different places. It seemed like the wound was deeper than the last, lots of blood bled from it and the beast let out another wail.

   The cobra trashed around, wailing in pain with more blood spilling out of its wounds.

   It slowly wriggled on the ground as the yellow hue around its body dimmed rapidly, letting out little howls before finally going silent.

    Just then, a set of familiar notifications flashed across Harry's eyes.

[1 Four Eyed cobra killed!]

[+15000EXP]

[Level Up!]

   However, they didn't stop there, more kept pouring in, with each one of them, making the smile on Harry's face grow wider and wider.
