Chapter 238.1. Invisible Attack
A powerful blow struck Miu’s body, sending her flying through the air. Wartan sparked and emitted smoke as it landed a solid hit, sending Miu spiraling.
She was hit by an invisible attack, experiencing a fierce impact that propelled her airborne. Similar to Ant-san, something struck Miu again from the direction she was flying.
Miu heard a disturbing crunching sound accompanied by the sensation of something collapsing, and her body was crushed.
Unable to withstand the man’s attack, Wartan began spewing fire, and with a calm, emotionless expression, Miu confirmed the severe damage to her arm, which had been crushed.
“It seems Wartan has reached its limit.”
[Holy Heal]
She whispered, and a magical power covered Miu’s body in a pure white light, instantly restoring her to an unscathed state. While it was the same healing magic as Sena’s, its recuperative force was on a different level.
It was recovery magic exclusive to the game version of Saint. It’s capable of always restoring her HP to the maximum. No attack could kill Miu.
-Damaged by a mysterious attack for 170 points!-
-HP: 1987 → 1817-
-MP: 1820 → 1753-
“What?! My Mii-chan Points (MP) are decreasing too!”
Miu thought she had room to spare, but now she was surprised to see it attacked her HP and MP too. Was her magical energy being drained too?
This attack was unforeseen. No one had used such an attack before, mainly because it wasn’t very effective. There were methods to recover MP, and even if it gets depleted, she wouldn’t die.
Normally.
But this man’s attack had also depleted her MP. She speculated on why she had taken damage.
It felt ominous, like something from a typical game scenario. To defeat the enemy’s main entity, one would need to drain their magical energy, or something along those lines.
No matter how much damage she took, even if her hands gets destroyed, her feet shattered, or her head blown off, as long as her HP remained, Miu could move without hindrance.
In other words, Miu deduced that her main body wasn’t a physical one but an astral body composed of magical energy. Her physical body housed her astral body.
Thus, even if someone destroyed my physical body, my astral body made of magical energy remained unharmed. This attack was developed to counter that.
It was a means to kill the astral body. I speculate that it might be the [God Slayer] technique.
It was likely that this enemy had the default skill of [God Slayer]. While the physical body acted as a shield, the damage taken by my MP got reduced. However, if my physical body gets destroyed, I could die.
This foreboding feeling was intense. This was getting troublesome.
“Come to think of it, both [God] and [Old God] had skills that could reduce an enemy’s MP by default… I thought those skills were useless since I could defeat them before they could drain the enemy’s MP, but perhaps they had this purpose.”
Though the skill names were different, she remembers similar skills that dealt damage while simultaneously draining MP. I clicked my tongue like a disapproving chick as if chastising herself for not realizing sooner he has anti-god skills.
“Helpless, aren’t you, chibi!”
The man unleashed a barrage of unseen attacks, just as he had done to Ant-san. Miu’s body contorted as if colliding with a building wall, and she bounced around in the air like a ping-pong ball.

-Used Intermediate MP Potion-
-Used Intermediate MP Potion-
However, Miu remained calm and composed, comparing the enemy’s attacks to their healing capabilities.
It was a close call, but using an Intermediate MP potion provided a slightly stronger recovery.
If the opponent used a martial technique, the situation might turn around.
“Take this!”
Miu countered the impending unseen attack by twisting her body and utilizing centrifugal force.
Poyopoyo Hammer created a powerful impact in the air, colliding with something. Her arm returned a rebounding force so intense that it caused numbness.
“Ouch!”
It was an attack unleashed by Level 97. But Miu gets thrown back like she had collided with an invisible wall.
Emitting an adorable cry, Miu fell forcefully to the ground, creating a crater and raising dust as her body plunged into it.
“…I see. The hammer alone isn’t enough to block it.”
Amidst the dust, a white light of recovery magic radiated, revealing Miu’s form.
She remained unfazed that the enchanted armor had turned to metal scraps and fallen to the ground. Defiantly, she snorted.
“What?! You still look confident, chibi! Your armor’s all broken now. You’re at your limit, aren’t you? You can cry and beg all you want, but it won’t do you any good. You know!”
The man spoke roughly, his voice dripping with contempt as he looked down at her.
However, Miu stuck out her tiny tongue and waggled her fingers playfully.
“Your expression doesn’t match your words at all. You’re trying to figure out why the attack stopped, aren’t you?”
“Hmm?”
Despite his intention to continue attacking until she was dead, just like Ant-san, the assault abruptly ceased halfway, leaving Miu crashing to the ground.
The hammer’s attack had been effective.
The implication was clear. It wasn’t magic.
“If it were magic, you could simply defend and counterattack with your magic. But the next attack didn’t come. In other words…”
With her gaze focused on her item box, Miu selected items with a “tetete” sound effect and conjured a new weapon with her small, maple-like hand.
She scattered her presence around herself, vigilant to every shift in the flow. The slightest disturbance in the air signaled something approaching from above, and she swung her held weapon high.
“An invisible giant whip. That’s its true nature!”
[Soul Awakening]
[Heaven’s Beam]
[Radiant Sword]
-Linked-
[Radiant Light Dragon Sword]
In her raised hand was a serpent-like sword-whip with an infinite blade, formed by the fusion of [Radiant Sword +10].
The ultimate sword she held had become a single beam of light, pointing towards the sky. In the air, the sword undulated like a swaying dragon before colliding with something unseen.
