I'm The supreme Fairy King

Chapter 242: Time To Counterattack

'You are directly underneath the ore veins running up above,' the old man said in relief while Jim glanced around, totally ignoring the monster that was waiting there.

That monster seemed to enjoy the feeling of despair and helplessness coming from its prey. And Jim was deeply appreciating this bloody nature of it.

"Let's start a counterattack then," Jim's face changed and instead of the hopeless look he had before, a determination shone over his face.

'It's coming,' the old man warned.

"Let it come," Jim calmly said while walking raising his sword with one hand while putting the other on the wall behind. "I have a very deep enmity with that monster... It's personal and I will kill it right here."

Jim was already losing his control over his body. Even his hand holding the sword couldn't maintain the posture for a few seconds before his fingers twitched and the sword fell off his grip.

But all he needed right now was for the sword to fall to the ground, the same way it did just now.

"Rumble!"

This time the activation of his spell was different. Jim felt a sudden gush of immense energy coming from his hand. "This... is amazing!!" he turned to glance at himself, totally ignoring the rapidly drawing tentacles.

He was amazed to see there was no orb surrounding his body at all. However this didn't alarm him as he felt a strange connection with all ores surrounding this place.

'Your orb is now formed entirely of the ore vein you are touching,' the old man said, 'you might have a chance to fend it off.'

"I don't want to fend it off, i want to kill it," Jim firmly said before holding the sword hilt from the ground. His body was bathed under the immense energy coming from the ore vein, and he was getting better at a rapid pace.

"Swoosh!"

He glanced at the tentacles which were coming so near to him without any obstacle. "Stop!" Like a real magician, Jim raised his sword, pointed it towards all the tentacles dancing in the air and gave that simple order.

And miraculously enough, the tentacles all stopped. They froze midair like being restrained with invisible chains.

"Is this all you got?" Jim sneered while turning towards the monster blocking the crack slit opening. Right now the world around Jim was lightened in a strange blue color.

And that monster was now lined perfectly with that light, making Jim finally able to see its details.

It was like a worm, but instead of the small legs it got thick and oval shaped thorns. Each thorn was so sharp that it was able to crush any rock in no time.

As for its body, he couldn't yet see the color of it clearly but he could tell it was covered in a thin layer of faint scales. Something that made that monster hard shell to crack.

"Shriek!" the worm shrieked in a threatening manner, but Jim ignored that unneeded move. In his opinion, he could kill that worm right here provided that the ore vein would continue lending him energy.

"First let's dispose of your lethal weapons," Jim slowly raised his sword and swiftly waved it obliquely. The sword unleashed a strong slash that travelled across the entire crack, and finally hit the worm.

"Shriek!" it shrieked in deep pain while Jim saw all the tentacles inside getting cut into tiny pieces. They all fell to the ground while he muttered:

"Is there any toxic sack here?"

'No, that would be situated inside its... well that rounded frontal thing that you can call head.'

"Got it," Jim didn't stop lashing out his sword while watching the worm layer of scales getting damaged. "This is slow," despite him causing many wounds already, he wasn't satisfied with this performance.

'It has a huge body,' the old man said, 'and you are too far from it.'

Jim turned to gaze at the wall that was now shining totally in blue light. 'That's why I said you can fend it off and not kill it,' the old man said.

"This is my chain then," Jim slowly said before taking his sword and slashing on the wall.

'What are you doing?' the old man screamed in panic, 'this will sever your connection with that vein.'

"I know," Jim held the giant piece of ore that fell off the wall. It was like a long club, extending for at least ten meters. One end was tapering and the other was rounded like a giant head. "But I can't let it go away... the whole idea of this is to kill it, not to scare it away."

'But...'

"Have little trust in me, old man," Jim's eyes flashed in golden light, "after all I'm aiming to be like Hector... Acting cool in front of all dangers and treating everything like it was nothing."

'...'

The old man didn't speak while Jim started to move. He dragged the giant piece of ore behind, while getting closer to the crack slit opening.

And with his other hand he kept releasing his sword non-stop, inflicting more damage and causing more pain to that monster.

'Your sword is so weak to cause much damage even with such energy.'

"I noticed that," Jim slowly said, "so I'm going crazy here and doing something new."

'This... sigh, I was happy you met someone as Hector but never thought he would trigger the insanity bloodline inside you.'

"Insanity?" Jim laughed, "this is brilliance, admit it old man."

'This is crazy.'

"Yeah, I know," Jim evilly grinned while getting closer to the main pit, "but you can't deny it's also brilliant."

'Whatever,' the old man chose not to continue this debate, 'let's see if this can deeply wound it.'

"I wanna kill it!"

'Even with such a way it's impossible to kill it,' the old man said and Jim felt a little weird here, 'but this will make it deeply hurt. So you can use that spell to finish it off.'

"Hmm... I don't mind which way to use but in the end this bastard should fall here."
