Overlord: Multiverse

Chapter 9: Yggdrasil VII

I glanced toward the graves, and another one had been exposed. The thing with this dungeon was that the mini-bosses were always random.

So, if I failed to complete the dungeon this time, the next time I entered the dungeon, all the mini-bosses would be random, and their levels would be adjusted to match mine.

Their race, build, appearance everything; about them would be random. Because of this, I couldn't predict what I might face in the dungeon.

My HP and MP kept recovering while I still had my guard up. For the next 20 seconds, nothing happened.

Then I decided to use one of my new spells.

'*Widen Extend Magic: Spatial Observance.*'

[MP: 75 -> 68]

It was a 10th-tier spell from my new job class called the "Wizard of the End." It unlocked many utility spells as well as for mass destruction.

The spell I used creates a domain around myself, in which anyone will become visible to me despite them using any ability to hide.

After waiting a few seconds, I saw a figure wearing ninja clothes standing to my right.

'There you are.'

My opponent was a ninja-type monster. They generally had low HP and defense. Without moving from my location, I cast another 10th-tier spell to kill it in one shot.

'*Extend Maximize Magic: Abyssal Column.*'

[MP: 68 -> 55]

A black column descended from the sky and engulfed the monster. This was the upgraded version of the 5th-tier spell, *True Dark*. It also dealt none-type damage. It also prevented the target from using any teleportation abilities.

The column kept damaging the monster for 30 seconds. As the time for the spell was about to end, I cast another spell.

'*Maximize Magic: Cosmic Nova*.'

[MP: 55 -> 45]

It was another 10th-tier spell from my 'Wizard of the End' job class. It created a white wave, traveling outwards. It unleashed a burst of cosmic energy, dealt non-elemental damage to all enemies in the area, and caused temporary confusion or disorientation.

As the wave struck the monster, I received the kill confirmation.

[The effect of 'Advancement Amulet' has been applied. 13,900 EXP -> 20,850 EXP.]

I quickly used another MP recovery potion and kept gazing toward the graves. After only a second, two graves burst open, and two demons stood next to the destroyed graves.

Both had a hulking figure, red color, a tail, and large wings on their back. Both were dual-wielding swords. Without waiting, they attacked me from opposite directions. I used *Fly* to dodge the attack.

[MP: 47 -> 40]

They looked like physical fighters, but I checked their MP using *Mana Essence*.

[MP: 40 -> 39]

Both had MP.

'Maybe a knight-type monster.'

Some knights were able to use Blessing Magic. They could cast tier spells and enhancements on themselves using blessings. The ability to cast spells depended on the type of job class; for example, if they had Paladin as a job class, they could cast spells; on the other hand, the Dark Knight job class users wouldn't be able to use magic.

Few players chose to use this character build despite the advantages of being able to use magic and being able to fight close range. The primary deterrent was that this build hindered players from specializing.

One of the demons glowed in a blue light for a second and started to float toward me. The other glowed golden and jumped to attack me.

I was floating 10 feet off the ground, and surprisingly, the demon who jumped to attack me managed to reach me.

'The one who glowed golden must be able to use blessings.'

Because their agility dwarfed mine, I failed to dodge both attacks.

[HP: 70 -> 55]

I crashed into the ground due to the impact.

'*Extend Maximize Magic: Caelum Volley*.'

[MP: 39 -> 29]

A 10th-tier spell that conjures a raging storm of ethereal arrows, causing them to rain down around the caster.

The arrows struck both demons. I drank another MP recovery potion. They continued to rain for 15 whole seconds. During this time, the demons tried to attack me with magic, but I blocked it with the help of *Mana Shield*.

Just as the spell was about to end, I cast another 10th-tier spell to kill them in one single swoop.

'*Maximize Penetrate Twin Magic: Stellar Beam*.'

[MP: 50 -> 30]

I extended my hands toward the demons, and a brilliant light surged forth from my palms, racing toward them.

While this character build possessed its own versatility and potency.

It inevitably succumbed to a specialized build in direct confrontation.

Because they were firing magic toward me for a while, their MP had reached zero, and; unable to cast any spells to protect themselves from the beam.

! You have received 30,000 EXP]

[The effect of 'Advancement Amulet' has been applied. 13,900 EXP -> 45,000 EXP.]

[You have Leveled Up.]

[MP: 30 -> 92]

[HP: 57 -> 79]

I looked toward the remaining graves. After a few seconds, four of the remaining graves exploded, sending debris around. As the smoke cleared, 4 Evil Lords were before the destroyed graves. They were not the same as the ones serving Demiurge.

'Here we go again.'

I focused on the quartet of menacing Evil Lords. Their mastery of magic was undeniable, and I steeled myself for the impending battle.

The first Evil Lord, surrounded by an ominous crimson aura, raised its staff, unleashing a torrent of dark energy. Reacting swiftly, I invoked a spell.

'*Maximize Magic: Mana Shield*.'

[MP: 92 -> 85]

It formed a barrier to absorb the assault's impact. The second Evil Lord, wreathed in eerie mist, conjured spectral apparitions that surged forward.

The previously erected barrier managed to stop the brunt of the attack, but still, some apparitions broke through it and struck me.

[HP: 79 -> 74]

Undeterred, the third Evil Lord's eyes gleamed with fire as it conjured a torrent of arcane flames. Reacting swiftly, I invoked a 7th-tier spell.

'*Boost Maximize Magic: Frost Veil*.'

[MP: 85 -> 75]

The frigid tempest clashed with the flames in a fierce struggle.

The fourth Evil Lord enveloped in lightning, raised its arms, channeling bolts of electricity. In response, I used an 8th-tier spell.

'*Boost Maximize Magic: Absorptive Ward*.'

[MP: 75 -> 65]

A translucent barrier formed around me, capable of absorbing the enemy's attack and refilling my MP depending on its power.

[MP: 65 -> 77]

The Evil Lords intensified their assault, their spells intertwining to create a web of destruction. Agile maneuvers allowed me to evade their joint attacks, but their relentless barrage threatened to overwhelm my defenses. To stop their attacks, I used a 10th-tier spell belonging to my hob class 'Apocalyptic Wizard.'

'*Maximize Widen Magic: Arcane Obstruct*.'

[MP: 77 -> 60]

The spell had an area of effect (AOE) and rendered anyone within its range unable to utilize magic. Leveraging this opportunity, I used one of my favorite spells from the 'Apocalyptic Wizard' job class. It was a 10th-tier spell.

'*Maximize Widen Magic: Stellar Domain*.'

[MP: 60 -> 35]

A domain manifested, engulfing myself and the evil lords. The spell dealt penetrative fire elemental damage. Only those who had high Magic Defense were able to withstand this spell.

Only one evil lord was able to conjure a black shield. It is important to note that my spell, "Arcane Obstruct," only works if someone has Magic Defense lower than mine.

'Guess it has Magic Defense comparable to mine.'

But the spell took a large chunk of HP from the remaining evil lords.

As the spell ended, the evil lord who conjured the barrier; shot out a black beam toward me.

I again used *Mana Shield*, to protect myself, but the beam passed right through it and struck me, causing me to fly backward.

[HP: 72 -> 60]

'He is strong.'

I used another 10th-tier spell, *Triplet Maximize Magic: Celestial Torrent*. A torrent of celestial energy surged forth, engulfing the Evil Lords.

[Congragulations on Defeating two level 92 Evil Lords

! You have received 30,300 EXP]

[Congragulations on Defeating two level 94 Evil Lords

! You have received 15,300 EXP]

[The effect of 'Advancement Amulet' has been applied. 45,600 EXP -> 68,400 EXP.]

I only received kill confirmation of 3 three evil lords. Meaning one still remained.
