Reborn As A Nephilim: The Rise of A Manaless Prince

Chapter 141 Dungeon Expedition [4]





Arvell turned to his team and thought of warning them, but he didn't have any conclusive proof that he could share to prove that something was watching them.

He also couldn't just state that his observational skills had reached the level of detecting killing intent that clearly, since noticing a trace of killing intent that small was an impossible achievement for someone his age.

Much to the point where his group would not even believe him anyways.

The only thing he could really do was just formulate countermeasures on his own to defend himself and his group.

While he didn't particularly care much for Marisa and Julius, he didn't want Lillianna to get hurt.

Something like that would definitely leave a sour taste in his mouth.

After progressing down the tunnel for a few minutes, Arvell's group encountered a couple of beasts, but considering just how strong their group was, it was almost a synch to take them out.

It was to the point where Arvell was able to divide enough of his attention to accurately study the abilities of the two Arcane mages in his team.

Arvell already knew a decent amount about Lillianna, considering they were both in the Arcane Warrior group and had seen each other practice almost daily.

On the other hand, he couldn't see the abilities of arcane mages his age other than Kaera and Lydia.

It wasn't helpful that both were fire mages.

Taking this chance, Arvell used his status skill on the two.

While he'd failed earlier when attempting to check Lillianna's status for some reason, Arvell was happy that it worked for the other two in his group.

Arvell noted that along with every young noble he'd met in Elantyra (which he'd managed to successfully appraise), these two also had the skills' Incomplete Noble Swordsmanship (C)', 'and Hand-To-Hand Combat (B).'

From what Arvell had managed to piece together, it was a custom for all noble youths to have these two skills.

Even families that preferred to use other weapons would make sure the child knew the very basics of the sword.

It was the same for hand-to-hand combat.

One could never know when they would end up in a situation where they could neither use magic nor weapons, so it was good that the nobles realized that fact and taught their children how to fight even in those conditions.

After the war, these things had become far more prevalent in the country.

From What Arvell had seen, Julius seemed adept at inducing the beasts they fought into fighting amongst themselves or causing them to outright kill themselves in their confusion.

Either from running straight into one of his teammates' spells or dying from hitting their heads on rocks.

It was both fascinating and creepy, primarily due to his blank look, forcing them to act like puppets on his string.

On the other hand, Marisa was able to cause the nearby moss on the caves to grow rapidly and wrap around the beasts, binding them for the others to kill.

While it was seemingly lacklustre considering the others in the group, her ability was nonetheless invaluable, especially since she could contain multiple enemies at the same time.

On the other hand, Arvell and Lillianna became blurs as they sped across the battlefield, butchering everything they could find at light speed.

Among the mages in the first-year S-class, Arvell figured the only other person that could match Lillianna evenly was Marcus with his gravity Manipulation Magic.

After all, the Elantryan royal family's magic was a special magic that was considered an extreme rarity for mages.

It was the power of Lightning.

While other members of the Elantryan Royal family preferred to become Arcane Mages and smite their enemies with thunder from the heavens, Lillianna's magic was far more unique and exciting than an Arcane Warrior.

Using her magic, she was able to accelerate her body to a level where she could keep up in speed with Arvel after using temporal manipulation to speed himself up.

Although Arvell could still slow her down using temporal manipulation and give himself an advantage, the fact that she could match his current top speeds was nothing short of amazing.

Even for the royal family, Lillianna's talent was frighteningly exceptional.

Furthermore, maintaining that state for an extended period of time attested to her monstrous mana pool.

It was at a level where Arvell had trouble believing the girl he had known all his life was even human.

'Seriously, where did the clumsy little girl from before even go? The one who accidentally added salt into cookies instead of sugar? The gap between the current her and the Lily from the past is way too large. It's almost like I'm looking at a different person!'

Lykos chuckled lightly at Arvell's inner thoughts

'Have you looked in the mirror lately?'

Knowing that Lykos was right and that it was, in fact, himself that had changed the most since their parting years ago, Arvell frowned for a moment.

'If she's gotten this strong, she gained a compelling enough reason to get stronger.'

He looked at Lillianna calmly cutting down a wolf-like beast from the corner of his eye.

'I wonder just what that is.'

After slaying and harvesting the cores of the beasts they were fighting, the group prepared to continue forward.

However, Arvell's suddenly outstretched his hand to stop the group from going forward.

His eyes narrowed as he stared ahead with a sharp look.

"We've got more company up ahead."
