Merlin’s plan was risky and rather tricky. Unlike during his battle with the Ice Wyverns, he had no foothold in the air, and launching himself so far up meant his landing would be anything but desirable. Despite his Resilience above level fifty, it wasn’t yet at the point where he was free from every and all afflictions. A rough landing would mean he broke almost all the bones in his body, maybe just a few if he cut himself some slack. But the worst of landings would mean he snapped his neck and died. But he had done so regardless of the possibility of everything going wrong, because it was the only way he would be able to take in the whole battlefield at once, and gain ample time to deconstruct whatever enchantment the dragonpriest of the village of Stein had placed upon the Raubtier. He would cross the bridge of his landing when the time came—which wasn’t exactly so far away. Gravity tugged at Merlin, reaching for every single part of his body, and pulled him down against his will. He plummeted. The wind slapped his face and ruffled his hair. But their rough edges slipped past his body like water over a streamlined object. Effect of the battle suit he had on. And that made it impossible for the air to disrupt his actions. Merlin wasted no other second. Mana flowed to his fingertips as Reader Mage listened to his command. The air stilled and wriggled around him, calling the attention of Chief Rivale to his presence, despite his utter confusion as to what was wrong with the Raubtier, oblivious to Blue’s presence. [Perk: Reader Mage Activated] [Analyzing spell…] [Analysis complete] [Spell: Atman Enchantment. Category: Advanced, Tier II Spell Wielder: Schwarz, the Dragonpriest. Spell Description: An enchantment fueled by the ambient mana of Xéros, commanded by the tongue of a Chosen Priest to control the soul of a beast created purely from the mana of Xéros.] [Deconstructing Process: Soul enchantments are bound by two rules. Only one soul can be controlled at a time. And, the priest’s tongue must always remain active, reshaping the enchantment over and over to prevent the soul from slipping out of their control. However, a barrier has been placed over the priest’s tongue. Deconstruct the spell by destroying the barrier and tampering with the priest’s speech.] [Deconstruct?] [Yes?/No?] Yes… Merlin’s mana shot out of his body, heading for Schwarz, the dragonpriest, a streak of blue faster than the eye could follow. Schwarz failed to realize what was happening, until Merlin’s mana slapped onto his mouth like goo, seeping into the invisible barrier that had covered it. The dragonpriest’s focus crumbled. He reached for his mouth trying to peel off Merlin’s mana, but it was all to no avail. Merlin’s Intelligence Attribute was at level thirty-three, and from the vague knowledge the System had imbued him with, he could deconstruct the Advanced tier I spells of A-Class Mages and B-Class Mages with a bit of problems. But can effectively deal with Advanced Tier II spells of C-Class and D-Class Mages with ease. The System hadn’t warned him of any possible problems to himself at this moment; in other words, Schwarz was at most the equivalent of a C-Class Mage. In other words, he was quite weak in comparison to those Merlin had involved himself with. The barrier around the dragonpriest’s mouth melted off like it had been doused by acid, leaving the priest’s tongue unprotected. Merlin instantly shot a whip of mana in Schwarz’s direction and gripped his tongue with it, preventing the priest from quickly putting up another enchantment. Then, his focus returned to his fall. How was he to get past this hurdle now? His mind raced. He thought of using the Raubtier as a cushion for landing, but he wouldn’t be mad to expect the monster to be as hard as rock considering its size and the destruction it could cause. Also, there was no fur on its body. The other option he could think of was breaking off his fall by using the Raubtier as a swing. He would
