Physics The Greatest Magic 44 Chapter 44: Basilisk

I had gone over the plan with the two girls but they denied it. It was a rather simple plan, and it was one of our best options.

"Why not?" I asked

"Fighting that thing without looking? Are you out of your mind?" Asked serena

"No, I told you. I have deprehendre. I can sense it." I replied

"But John, What if you're hit and the shock causes you to open your eyes?" Asked Ariel

"That won't happen," I said

"Let's leave it, Ariel. We don't have any better plans and he won't budge now that he's decided on it."

"Fine..." Muttered Ariel

"I'm sorry Ariel, but we don't have much of a choice..." I said

"I get it... I just hate how your life is constantly at risk, in the front and we're not able to offer much support..." Said, Ariel

"You've been doing a great job with Serena supporting me from medium range, Thanks to you two i feel a lot safer at the front," I said

"I-Is that so..." Muttered Ariel

Ariel cast Wind Spear. She had been casting many spells today, so I was really surprised by her recent growth in both strength and magic capacity.

The wind began to gather where a flame had been formed thanks to Serena. That caused The Wind spear to turn into a flame-wind Spear

After that. Serena cast 20 fire arrows and Ariel gathered air behind them, to propel them at any moments notice.

"We're ready." Said, Ariel

Amazing. Their teamwork is amazing. Despite not being able to look, they were able to sense where the other was gathering the mana. Most of it is thanks to magic perception but it's also something you can't pull off unless you've had a lot of practice.

"Well done, you two have really improved your control over concept magic."

"T-Thanks to you..."

"John is a great teacher!" Said, Ariel

"Y-Yeah, no problem, I'm also grateful to you two, Despite being annoying. Serena is very wise. Ariel is hard-working and a great learner. You two have both saved me and I owe you a lot." I replied

"Of course you do... While I'm glad about being called wise, Ariel's the one who's saved you, I haven't managed to do much..." Said, Serena

"That's not true" Said Ariel

"Remember when I was cursed and was losing myself when we fought the spider queen? You noticed it and stopped me from getting possessed. And that time where you held back the spider queen when Ariel was hurt? Oh and-" I said.

"Alright! I get it! C-Can we have this talk later..? T-The monster's still standing there..." Said Serena with an embarrassed tone

"Alright, Stick to the plan. Velox! Gravitas! Levite!"

I cast Velox and Levite to boost my self straight towards the monster. My eyes were closed and i couldn't see it but i could feel it thanks to magic perception and deprehendre. I cast Gravitas so that it wouldn't move.

Once i reached it. I deactivated Levite as it's hard to get precise movements while i fly. With the momentum from when levite was active, I charged straight towards the basilisk head-on like a cannon.

Despite being under 20x Gravity, it managed to turn its body and I ended up Swinging at the side of its body.

"Hard," I said as I barely cut at it's skin

I propelled myself back with velox when i felt it's tail head towards me. Hard skin and slow. If not for it's eyes, it wouldn't pose any threat. Then why don't i...

"Velox"

I propelled myself over to where it was facing and I propelled myself straight at its face. It turned it's head again and swung it's tail and me.

"As expected. Velox Duplici" Translation: Double Swift

In nearly an instant, my daggers were pierced in each of his eyes. It happened a lot faster than i expected. I propelled myself twice at once. First, I propelled myself over to the direction he moved to then while I was still being propelled I propelled myself straight at him.

"Ignis iecit" I said while my daggers were inside of his eyes. Translation: Fire Shot

Fire passed from my daggers straight through it's eyes and fried it along with the inside of it's head. It let out a loud shriek indicating pain and began to uncontrollably swing it's tail.

"Ariel, Serena. Now!!! Aim at my voice!!" I shouted

Ariel was nervous of missing. Her eyes were closed and she wasn't used to aiming without her sight. But she forced herself to calm down and took the shot.

20 Flames arrows along with a fire spear went straight towards me. The basilisk who could feel it tried moving away, but couldn't as i kept gravitas activated on it.

Once it reach it. The Fire spear and pierced through it's skin to the inside of it's side belly. The arrows managed to pierce the skin but didn't go too far inside.

It let out a scream of pain before it's body turned into a magic stone. I could tell thanks to magic perception. With hesitation, i slowly opened my eyes and... Nothing happened. I was fine.

I stared at the Cyan blue Stone who radiated a beautiful aura. It was smaller than the spider queen's but it looked nice so I'm sure it was worth quite a lot.

I picked up the stone and put it in the magic tool box, before looking over at Serena and Ariel. Their eyes were still closed and they had confused looks on their faces as they tried to understand what had happened.

"We got him!" I shouted out

"Thank god!" Shouted Serena

"Can we open our eyes now?" Shouted Ariel

"Yeah!" I shouted back

The two girls rushed over to me after opening their eyes. Once they arrived, Both Ariel and Serena fell on top of me. I had no more strength thanks to the fight so the momentum caused me to fall over as well.

Without moving, the two girls laid on top of me as we laid on the ground. They were fast asleep.

"So you used up all of your mana, huh... Ah, I'm getting deja vu. It's not good to sleep on an empty stomach but you're tired, so we'll eat when you wake up." I said as i placed my hands around them.

Warm... They were warm and soft. Even if i wanted to move them, i don't have any strength left. So i'll let myself be spoiled by this warmth for a little longer...

"Sphaera Glacies" I muttered

A Ice sphere was formed around us, and i began feeling sleepy.

The monsters are getting stronger... How much longer will we have to endure this? Either way, no matter what i have to keep them safe... Because I'm the leader and...

As i thought of such things i fell asleep.
