New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

*Warning: Violence!*

Randel immediately used his lightning mana to flash directly behind Grandpa Andi. He didn't spare anything and immediately used the paper spell he had received from Leon.

A thin golden shield appeared to protect himself and Grandpa Andi but it didn't make the purple light fade.

Instead, it melted the thin shield and continued to slowly penetrate into their position.

However, the shield bought enough time for the two to realize everything and immediately teleported away from the trajectory of the purple balls.

Watching from a safe distance, they saw that the ball pierced through the shield and exploded on the very spot where Grandpa Andi stood earlier. A small crater with soil turning muddy purple appeared from the site of the explosion.

"Master… They can use curse magic." Randel squinted his eyes vigilantly as his gaze focused on the three cursed creatures.

"You take the other one, I can manage the two." Grandpa Andi stretched his arms and directed Randel of their battle plan.

Even after the creatures demonstrated their ability to cast a curse spell, he was not perturbed.

"Roger!" Randel also didn't question Grandpa Andi's orders, so he moved and lured the first cursed creature while Grandpa Andi prevented the other two to follow Randel.

"You two shall face me!" Grandpa Andi slashed his broadsword and violently created a deep rift on the ground, it was totally different from his sword attacks earlier!

It contained the terrifying power and might of an S Class Devourer mage!

Sensing that Grandpa Andi was also a great threat, the two angrily roared and charged at him.  Both of them used the combination of physical combat and casting skills to disturb Grandpa Andi's movements and create an opening.

"You think this will be effective against me?" Grandpa Andi scowled.

He had spent decades honing his abilities on the strong grueling battlefield. He had fought countless enemies that were far stronger than his abilities during those times.

The attacks of the two cursed creatures were just like children's movements to him.

The only tricky one was that he must not allow any of the cursed spells to touch his body. If it was an ordinary spell, he can just tolerate it, any attack lower than the S class level spells would only be like an ant bite to him.

But now he have to be more cautious about letting these small attacks freely touch his body, for he still didn't know how much he can tolerate from the curse.

Finally deciding to conclude the match, he went all out in his attacks. Technically, a devourer mage would have the greatest disadvantage when paired with a caster mage, for he only had the ability to channel mana to enhance anything in his body.

But for the S Class Devourer level, there's more that they can do aside from enhancing their bodily functions.

He can channel his mana to any of his armor and weapon and enhance their offensive and defensive abilities, respectively. They can also do so on any magical item they hold on their bodies.

With that, he gathered the mana around and immediately directed it all to his armor and sword. The dense mana slowly appeared to envelop his entire body as well as his sword.

It was like he was glowing with pale yellow light as he let the mana conjure in his body.

"Time for you guys to disappear." He declared as he charged at one of the cursed creatures, swinging his sword in full might.

As of today, there were only two known ways to counter curse magic. One was to ingest the cure potion, and the second was… to use magic several times stronger than the cursed magic used!

And so, Grandpa Andi used S-level devouring abilities to enhance his silver broadsword to the highest level and quickly pierced through the creature's chest!

Swoosh!

As soon as the silver broadsword touched the surface of the creature's chest, a large hollow hole appeared on his body and a tremendous shock wave penetrated his back, severely damaging the castle walls!

Crumble!!! The majestic walls of the Vesala Estate were powdered even when it was not directly hit by Grandpa Andi's sword.

What's more, the shock wave extended to the forest more than fifty meters away from the position of the creature!

A roar of agony sounded behind Grandpa Andi, the second creature immediately sensed the impending peril of his fellow and indiscriminately attacked Grandpa Andi  from behind.

With no time to observe the effectiveness of his attack on the other creature, Grandpa Andi had no choice but to face the other one.

Boom! Yet another violent shockwave and explosion resounded on the battlefield, revealing the second creature losing the right part of his upper body.

As gory as it may sound, it looked like he was eaten by another gigantic creature.

Thud! Thud!

The two creatures slowly fell to the ground as they whimpered a weak groan. Purple blood flowed from the exposed flesh and watered the ground.

Finally with a time to breathe, Grandpa Andi did not let his guard down and anticipated the possibility of the creatures still regenerating.

Hisssss!

Sure enough, the worm-like cells emerged from their bodies and started to regenerate the rest of their mangled body. But unlike before, when he only used a little mana to cut the first creature in half, the regeneration time was a lot slower than before.

"Hmm,  it seems like the theory of using stronger mana to counter the curse is viable." Grandpa Andi brushed his long beard while observing the two creatures regenerating.

After contemplating for a while, a sinister smile appeared on his face. This smile was only given to the enemies whom he thought should have no right to exist in the world, "How about destroying you to the point that there was no flesh to regenerate?"

Without waiting for the fallen creatures to complete their regeneration, Grandpa Andi immediately changed his weapon into a giant war hammer.

The size of the hammer was even bigger than Granpa Andi's height!

Using the same intensity of mana resonating on his war hammer, he mercilessly pounded the fallen creatures into a purple paste.

Boom Boom Boom!

The sound of the pounding was like an angry volcano erupting violently. It made the people around shudder at the thought that the rumblings and the noise all came from one person, the Great S Class Devourer Mage, Grandpa Andvari.

On Randel's side, the battle had also reached its peak. Compared to his last fight in the Silverdew Forest, Randel had grown a lot in terms of managing his mana and receptors.

He now had an idea of how far his limits were, and so, his movements and battle style were far more efficient than before.

Using his lightning attribute mana, he sent electric currents to disrupt the movements of the creature while he charged using his sword wrapped with lightning.

Tzzzz! The sound of piercing flesh was accompanied by the buzz of electricity as well as a nauseating scent of burning flesh.

Unlike the wounds inflicted by Grandpa Andi, the flesh that Randel's sword pierces had a harder time regenerating, for the wound was still burning as it was sliced by the sword, making the worm-like cells struggle to do their job.

However, the power of the curse was indeed not to be estimated, at most, the burn from the electricity just delayed the creature's regeneration. Ultimately, the creature's wounds eventually healed.

Randel looked at Grandpa Andi's side and noticed that his master was pounding the ground like a crazy blacksmith.

He also looked at the ground on which his master was hammering, it had turned into a puddle of purple slime, and yet the old man was not yet stopping.

He looked at his opponent and realized that, unlike his master's crazy physical strength, his specialty relies on his lighting attribute's penetrating power and heat.

"There's nothing I can do…" His droopy eyes flashed with firm determination as he looked at his hand, which was firmly holding a lightning dagger.

Slowly, he released a dense amount of lighting attribute mana in his sword.

Crackle!

The crisp sound of the erratic electricity could be heard. The lightning was densely packed in his sword as he continued his mumbling, "... but to slice this cursed creature into pieces until it was small enough to be completely burned!"

And so the master and disciple went on a crazy barrage of merciless slicing and attacking!!!

"…"

Governor Fidel and the Northern Army, along with the surviving captives couldn't help but shudder at the sight of their actions.

Fearsome!

Terrifying!

Crazy!

Those were the words that came into their minds as they saw them eradicating the enemies who didn't have any more ability to fight.

The captives even thanked the heavens for them being held captives by the northern knights instead of these master-disciple duo. They were sure that they would never see the light of day and they would not even have the chance to be buried with an intact body if it was the two who captured them!

Governor Fidel and the Northern Knights also shared the same sentiments.

They even vowed to tell the next generation not to make the Forgeworns their enemy - for eternity!
