<h1>Chapter 203: Recovery</h1><p>"Feels like your buffs are wasted," Thomas said, his tone skeptical.</p><p>"Nah," Ludwig denied, shaking his head. "Though they're mostly physical-enhancing buffs, they're still useful for maneuverability." He raised his hands, his fingers crackling with magical energy. "[Fire Ball!]"</p><p>Ludwig knew he couldn't use any of his sword skills without a sword, so he switched back to magic. Time was ticking, and he didn't have much more time left in the clock.</p><p>A powerful explosive ball of fire shot forward from Ludwig's hands, hurtling toward the lion with blazing intensity. The lion, now wary of Ludwig's tricks, swatted the fireball away with a massive paw, bursting it apart into a surge of flames that harmlessly brushed past its stone body. But Ludwig wasn't done.</p><p>"Explosive Mines!" he shouted, his voice filled with determination. Two small, glowing orbs materialized in front of Ludwig's palms, crackling with unstable energy. He hurled them toward the lion with precision, the orbs streaking through the air like comets. The lion, still recovering from the fireball, wasn't prepared for the two explosive mines that followed. The orbs detonated right in front of its face, the force of the explosion rattling its stone form. Cracks began to appear on its face, the first signs of damage Ludwig had managed to inflict.</p><p>"Looks like there is some hope," Ludwig said, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He flexed both hands to the side, two more [Explosive Mines] manifesting in front of his palms. The glowing orbs hovered menacingly, ready to be unleashed. "Let's see how well a lion can be cooked!" Ludwig said, his voice filled with a mix of determination and dark humor. He hurled the explosive mines at the lion, the orbs streaking through the air like comets.</p><p>The lion roared, clearly remembering the damage it had suffered from the last couple of explosions. It tried to bob and weave, its massive form surprisingly agile for something made of stone. But Ludwig simply snapped his fingers, triggering the orbs to blow up against its side. The lion was rattled, its stone body cracking further under the force of the explosions, but it refused to go down. It kept pursuing Ludwig, its glowing eyes locked onto him with relentless focus.</p><p>Ludwig, once again, found himself running. The timer kept ticking, and every time he heard the sound of the beacons echoing in the labyrinth, he felt the pressure mounting. "That's the fifth one," Thomas reminded him, his voice tense. Meaning he only had less than five minutes left, and the lion behind him wasn't fully downed yet. No matter how many orbs he threw at it, the lion would simply bulldoze through them. Though cracks and fissures appeared on its face and body, it was still not to the point that it would break completely.</p><p>Ludwig remained calm and collected, his mind sharp despite the grit of his clenched jaw. He didn't even realize he was doing it, his focus entirely on the task at hand. But just as he thought he might finally gain the upper hand, a wall not too far ahead burst open, revealing another lion that had just emerged, breaking through the stone as if it were made of paper.</p><p>Ludwig was caught in a long corridor without any chance of escape, two lions now closing in on him from opposite directions. He stood still for a moment, his eyes darting between the two massive predators. The lions reared up and roared, their howls bone-rattling, their massive feet cracking and breaking the floor as they bounded forward. The two of them jumped at Ludwig simultaneously, their jaws open wide, their claws extended, ready to crush him between them.</p><p>"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Thomas shouted, his voice filled with panic.</p><p>Ludwig waited for the last possible moment, his body coiled like a spring. "[Summersault Slam]" Just as the lions were mid-jump, he crouched down, the hilt of his broken sword clutched tightly in his hand.</p><p>Ludwig's body flung upward, his movements a blur as he barely dodged both lions. Their claws struck empty air, and they collided with each other, their massive forms crashing together with a thunderous impact. Ludwig's body spun in the air, his movements precise and calculated. As he came down, he realized he no longer had a sword—the blade had been shattered to pieces. But that didn't stop him.</p><p>"Self Immolation!" Ludwig chanted, his voice filled with resolve. His right arm roared to life with incendiary flames, the heat intense enough to make the air around him shimmer. He struck down at the lion with the cracked head, his flaming fist slamming into its stone skull with devastating force.</p><p>Now, here, Ludwig with all these buffs—his strength amplified by [Galvanize] and [Vengeance]—believed that he would at least deal decent enough damage to the lion. But frankly, he was grossly underestimating himself. For an undead, his base physical strength was already far beyond that of a normal human. Coupled with the hundred-plus points he had invested in strength, he was at the level of a monster in terms of raw power. Not only that, Ludwig had also increased his physical prowess by seventy percent from [Galvanize] and [Vengeance].</p><p>The closed fist of Self Immolation that he thought would merely wound the lion ended up exceeding his expectations—to the point that even he didn't fully understand the extent of his own power. As his fist landed on the lion's head, a fraction of a second passed before a fissure-like crack spread like a spiderweb across the lion's stone skull. In that moment, incredible amounts of fire mana surged within those cracks, causing a bone-rattling, ground-trembling explosion of raw power.</p><p>A notification appeared in front of Ludwig but he dismissed it immediately, he didn't have time to waste with reading that right now.</p><p>The lion's head blew apart, shattering into countless shards of stone and rough-cut boulders. The force of the explosion was so immense that the recoil struck Ludwig with several sharp pieces of stone, the damage notifications flashing in his mind.</p><p>[-112 HP!]</p><p>[-15 HP!]</p><p>[-88 HP!]</p><p>As for the unfortunate second lion, it was struck hard enough by the shards of its brethren that it winced away, giving Ludwig a moment to react. His face lit up as he saw the beacon lying amidst the rubble of the destroyed lion. He didn't hesitate. He jumped at the beacon, his hand outstretched, just as the second lion recovered and lunged at him.</p><p>The moment Ludwig's fingers brushed against the beacon, he felt the familiar sensation of teleportation. The lion's massive arm passed through his afterimage as he was whisked away, leaving the enraged predator roaring in frustration.</p><p>Ludwig reappeared in a new section of the labyrinth, the beacon now securely in his possession. He took a moment to catch his breath, his mind racing with the implications of what had just happened. He had taken down a stone lion with nothing but his fists and sheer determination. The realization of his own strength was both exhilarating and terrifying.</p><p>"Well," Thomas said, his voice filled with awe, "that was something."</p><p>Ludwig smirked, his confidence renewed. "Yeah," he said, his voice steady. "something indeed," he replied as he looked around. The new section of the labyrinth was also similar to where he was, everything gave a sense of familiarity yet confusion.</p><p>Now that he became a prey, he still needed to be careful, there was still about a minute or so left, so he could still be taken down.</p><p>And just as his eyes were scanning the place, the sound of calm and confident footsteps echoed in front of him.</p><p>"Oh, you got your beacon back," he heard. And that was Minerva's voice. Only then did Ludwig remember, the last time he met here... she was a Hunter.</p><p>Read latest chapters at fr(e)ewebnovel.com Only</p>

<h1>Chapitre 203 : Récupération</h1> <p>« On dirait que tes buffs sont gaspillés », déclara Thomas d'un ton sceptique.</p> <p>« Pas du tout », rétorqua Ludwig en secouant la tête. « Même s’ils améliorent principalement mes capacités physiques, ils restent utiles pour la mobilité. » Il leva les mains, ses doigts crépitant d’énergie magique. « [Boule de feu !] »</p> <p>Ludwig savait qu’il ne pouvait utiliser aucune de ses techniques d’épée sans arme, alors il revint à la magie. Le temps filait, et il ne lui en restait plus beaucoup.</p> <p>Une puissante boule de feu explosive jaillit de ses mains, fonçant vers le lion avec une intensité brûlante. Le lion, désormais méfiant face aux ruses de Ludwig, écarta la boule de feu d’une patte massive, la faisant éclater en une vague de flammes qui effleura innocemment son corps de pierre. Mais Ludwig n’avait pas fini.</p> <p>« Mines explosives ! » cria-t-il, sa voix empreinte de détermination. Deux petits orbes lumineux se matérialisèrent devant ses paumes, crépitant d’énergie instable. Il les lança avec précision vers le lion, les orbes filant dans les airs comme des comètes. Le lion, encore sous le choc de la boule de feu, ne fut pas préparé aux deux mines explosives qui suivirent. Les orbes explosèrent juste devant son visage, l’onde de choc ébranlant sa forme de pierre. Des fissures apparurent sur son museau, les premiers signes de dommages que Ludwig avait réussi à infliger.</p> <p>« On dirait qu’il y a de l’espoir », murmura Ludwig, un léger sourire aux lèvres. Il écarta les mains, deux nouvelles [Mines explosives] apparaissant devant ses paumes. Les orbes lumineux planaient menaçants, prêts à être libérés. « Voyons comment on peut cuisiner un lion ! » lança-t-il, sa voix mêlant détermination et humour noir. Il projeta les mines explosives vers le lion, les orbes traversant les airs comme des comètes.</p> <p>Le lion rugit, se souvenant clairement des dégâts subis lors des précédentes explosions. Il tenta d’esquiver, sa masse étonnamment agile pour une créature de pierre. Mais Ludwig claqua simplement des doigts, déclenchant l’explosion des orbes contre son flanc. Le lion fut secoué, son corps de pierre se fissurant davantage sous la force des explosions, mais il refusa de tomber. Il continua à poursuivre Ludwig, ses yeux lumineux braqués sur lui avec une détermination implacable.</p> <p>Ludwig se retrouva une fois de plus à courir. Le compte à rebours continuait, et chaque fois qu’il entendait le son des balises résonner dans le labyrinthe, la pression montait. « C’est la cinquième », lui rappela Thomas, la voix tendue. Ce qui signifiait qu’il ne lui restait plus que cinq minutes, et le lion derrière lui n’était toujours pas vaincu. Peu importe le nombre d’orbes qu’il lui lançait, le lion les traversait inexorablement. Bien que des fissures couvrent son visage et son corps, il n’était pas encore assez affaibli pour s’effondrer.</p> <p>Ludwig resta calme et concentré, son esprit vif malgré sa mâchoire serrée. Il ne s’en rendait même pas compte, tant son attention était fixée sur sa tâche. Mais alors qu’il pensait enfin prendre l’avantage, un mur non loin de lui explosa, révélant un autre lion venant d’apparaître, traversant la pierre comme si elle était en papier.</p> <p>Ludwig se retrouva coincé dans un long couloir sans issue, deux lions maintenant encerclant de chaque côté. Il resta immobile un instant, ses yeux passant de l’un à l’autre des prédateurs massifs. Les lions se dressèrent et rugirent, leurs hurlements à glacer le sang, leurs pattes massives fissurant et brisant le sol en bondissant vers l’avant. Tous deux sautèrent sur Ludwig simultanément, gueules béantes, griffes déployées, prêts à l’écraser entre eux.</p> <p>« QU’EST-CE QUE TU FAIS ?! » hurla Thomas, paniqué.</p> <p>Ludwig attendit le dernier moment, son corps bandé comme un ressort. « [Salto fracassant] » Alors que les lions étaient en plein saut, il s’accroupit, la garde de son épée brisée fermement serrée dans sa main.</p> <p>Le corps de Ludwig s’élança vers le haut, ses mouvements flous alors qu’il évitait de justesse les deux lions. Leurs griffes ne rencontrèrent que le vide, et ils s’entrechoquèrent, leurs masses colossales se percutant avec un impact tonitruant. Ludwig tournoya dans les airs, ses mouvements précis et calculés. En redescendant, il réalisa qu’il n’avait plus d’épée—la lame avait volé en éclats. Mais cela ne l’arrêta pas.</p> <p>« Auto-immolation ! » incanta-t-il, résolu. Son bras droit s’enflamma d’un feu incendiaire, la chaleur si intense que l’air autour de lui vacilla. Il frappa le lion au crâne fissuré, son poing enflammé s’abattant sur son crâne de pierre avec une force dévastatrice.</p> <p>Là, maintenant, Ludwig avec tous ces buffs—sa force amplifiée par [Galvanisation] et [Vengeance]—était convaincu d’infliger au moins des dégâts décents au lion. Mais en réalité, il se sous-estimait grandement. En tant qu’immortel, sa force physique de base dépassait déjà largement celle d’un humain normal. Ajouté aux centaines de points investis dans la force, il atteignait le niveau d’un monstre en puissance brute. Sans compter que [Galvanisation] et [Vengeance] avaient augmenté ses capacités physiques de soixante-dix pour cent.</p> <p>Le coup de poing d’Auto-immolation qu’il pensait simplement blessant pour le lion dépassa toutes ses attentes—à un point où même lui ne comprenait pas pleinement l’étendue de sa propre puissance. Lorsque son poing toucha la tête du lion, une fraction de seconde s’écoula avant qu’une fissure semblable à une toile d’araignée ne se propage sur son crâne de pierre. À cet instant, une quantité incroyable de mana igné jaillit dans ces fissures, provoquant une explosion titanesque qui ébranla le sol.</p> <p>Une notification apparut devant Ludwig, mais il l’ignora aussitôt—il n’avait pas le temps de la lire maintenant.</p> <p>La tête du lion explosa, se brisant en d’innombrables éclats de pierre et blocs rocheux. La force de l’explosion fut si immense que le contrecoup projeta sur Ludwig plusieurs fragments acérés, les notifications de dégâts clignotant dans son esprit.</p> <p>[-112 PV !]</p> <p>[-15 PV !]</p> <p>[-88 PV !]</p> <p>Quant au malheureux second lion, il fut frappé si violemment par les éclats de son congénère qu’il recula, offrant à Ludwig un instant de répit. Son visage s’illumina en apercevant la balise parmi les débris du lion détruit. Il n’hésita pas. Il bondit vers la balise, la main tendue, alors que le second lion se ressaisissait et se ruait sur lui.</p> <p>Au moment où les doigts de Ludwig effleurèrent la balise, il ressentit la sensation familière de la téléportation. Le bras massif du lion traversa son image résiduelle alors qu’il était emporté, laissant le prédateur furieux rugir de frustration.</p> <p>Ludwig réapparut dans une nouvelle section du labyrinthe, la balise désormais en sa possession. Il prit un moment pour reprendre son souffle, son esprit tourbillonnant face aux implications de ce qui venait de se passer. Il avait vaincu un lion de pierre à mains nues, avec pour seule arme sa détermination. La prise de conscience de sa propre force était à la fois exaltante et terrifiante.</p> <p>« Eh bien », commenta Thomas, impressionné, « c’était quelque chose. »</p> <p>Ludwig sourit, sa confiance renouvelée. « Ouais », répondit-il d’une voix ferme. « Quelque chose, en effet. » Il jeta un regard autour de lui. La nouvelle section du labyrinthe ressemblait étrangement à la précédente, tout paraissait à la fois familier et déroutant.</p> <p>Maintenant qu’il était redevenu une proie, il devait rester prudent—il lui restait environ une minute, et il pouvait encore être vaincu.</p> <p>Alors qu’il scrutait les lieux, le son de pas calmes et assurés résonna devant lui.</p> <p>« Oh, tu as récupéré ta balise », entendit-il. C’était la voix de Minerva. Ce n’est qu’alors que Ludwig se souvint : la dernière fois qu’il l’avait rencontrée ici… elle était Chasseuse.</p> <p>Lisez les derniers chapitres sur fr(e)ewebnovel.com uniquement</p>
