part 4 - reawakening of a monster

"LETS FINISH THIS!!"

cliff ruins / 3rd pov

"Light magic won't work.
Elemental magic won't work.
Even trap magic has little to no effect.
Just what are you?"

"Shut up. Die. Or is "live" in your case?"

Kicking off a supersonic speed, accelerator lunged at ainz with his hand outstretched.

Ainz dodged the hand by flying downwards at fast speed, but accelerator didn't give up pursuit.

Changing his direction, he once again lunged at the undead headed towards the ground.
Ainz once again flew away, causing accelerator to touch the ground.
Immediately it broke apart and decomposed.

"He did that with a touch? Is it similar to <touch of undeath>?"

"<purifying javelin>!"

Two small magic circles appeared on either side of ainz and out of it shot out gigantic lances of the holy element.

Though magic of the holy element proved ineffective against the albino, the undead wasn't aiming to do damage, but rather, curse the esper.

<purifying javelin> had a second effect in which it would curse its target upon contact. The success rate of this skill was only determined by the mp of its caster, and for ainz who stood at the pinnacle of magic, its success rate was more or less guaranteed.

It shot towards accelerator at great speeds, and just like it seemed it would peirce right through him, he dodged...?

Ainz couldn't understand as the esper had dodged it with minimum effort, while not even looking at it.
As if his body moved without his knowledge.

"Is he becoming even more versatile...?"

Though ainz had yet to realize it, accelerator's ability was still improving.

Or more specifically, his magic filter.

Originally, the esper had only taken martial arts and imbued it within his personal reality.
Then, any magic with similar properties would avoid him without fail.
For instance, light elements that has been analyzed and imbued within this filter will not allow magic attacks such as <magic arrow> because they both possess light elements.
Unfortunately, martial arts skill was something that was created by the people of this new world, meaning in comparison to tier magic, they only go up to around 5th tier.
Magic of 6th tier and up is something that is only wielded by those of yggdrasil and as such, the esper's second filter, which was created using blueprints that only defend up to 5th tier magic, is completely useless against any magic of higher tiers.

Its also the reason why accelerator had to manually analyze and reflect ainz's <call greater thunder> despite it still being an elemental type magic.

Because it was magic of 7th tier, his filter was useless against it.

But the undead will soon see, that that was about to change.

Imbueding more mp into the spell, ainz made use of the javelin tracking ability, and soon enough, it quickly turned around and begin chasing after the esper.

"Now then, time to test this out..."

The two spears of light went straight at the esper.
Just when about to peirce into him. a sort of glitch phenomenon happened, and the two spears of light reflected off the esper.

"Its still incomplete. I need to readjust my arithmetic even more, but for now, this is good enough..."

"...I managed to keep it in shape. It didn't dissipate this time."
