Ethan's left hand began to burn when he touched the monster's head. Thanks to that, he would lose in less than three seconds, but he needed to do that only for a single mont. Using all his mana and attacking as fast as he could, Ethan cast three Ice Spears.
Firing at point-blank range made the beast suffer a lot of damage, even more so considering the elental properties of Ethan's attack. That being said, Ethan wasn't a mage, and his attack didn't kill the beast. It made the golem step backward several ters, and it froze half of its head.
"Your head is too big," Ethan smirked. "Let's decrease its size."
Clenching his teeth, Ethan swung his sword, and this ti, without much resistance, his bastard sword cut half of the monster's head. At the sa ti, he saw a weird stone breaking inside the monster's head, and the core was gone.

Weirdly enough, Ethan entered the rank again. Given how low his score was, it was kind of unexpected that he could enter the ranking. Although a lot of people used the simulators, they didn't try to reach the high stages of the free mode.
"I guess even those two can't defeat a monster like this instantly… no, they probably didn't try seriously, and this is the result of their only run."
Ethan could tell that those two could finish the first stage even faster than him. Hence, it was only obvious that they weren't using the simulator that often. In any case, putting such a thing aside, Ethan decided to leave that na as it was. It was better than trying another joke and involuntarily ssing with other troubleso individuals.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Given how much the difficulty had increased between the ninth and tenth stages, Ethan concluded that he would be able to pass the eleventh stage. However, since it was noon, he decided to take a break and have lunch with his parents while he thought about so things.
"For so reason, Omni Hero wasn't activated when I touched the golem… even though I can suffer small wounds while receiving experience and coins. I can't really understand the logic… I guess I need to find the person who created the simulators. Although not activating that power is convenient for , that kind of thing also affects other skills like synthesizing."
Synthesize was the best weapon for Ethan in order not to force him to use his Omni Hero's power. Still, if he could only use it in serious situations like that on izibio, then it was too restrictive. The problem was, does soone as amazing as the simulator's creator has any reason to receive soone like the current Ethan? The answer was no. Besides, if his instincts were right, such a person would be heavily guarded and probably would be kept in a place where only a certain number of people could talk with them.
"Look, thoughtful doesn't really suit you, Ethan," Hannah said. "What is the matter? Is so girl in your mind?"
"It depends. If the creator of the simulator is a woman, then yes, a girl is in my mind," Ethan said replied. "Do you know the person who created it?"
Much to his surprise, Hannah was at ho, even though she previously ntioned that she only had Sundays as her day off. It looked like her diplomatic work wasn't being that intense as of late. It was pretty good to have lunch with the whole family.
"Yes, she is a woman," Hannah replied. "Although I don't know her, apparently, she is Russian, and she is also a summoned hero with unbelievable illusionary powers."
"Russian, huh," Ethan rubbed his chin. "Considering the relationship our countries had in the last decades, I couldn't imagine them sharing that kind of technology with us."
Ethan had already imagined that the creator was one skilled mage in the art of illusions. Still, Ethan didn't imagine it had been a summoned hero. He thought it had been soone from another world since the cooperation between Earth and other planets had increased while he was away.
"About that, apparently, she only agreed to build that kind of machine to the governnt if they agreed to sell to all countries of the world with reasonable prices," Hannah explained. "Given how good she was at using illusions, the governnt couldn't say no to her. There are a few rumors that, at first, they didn't agree to her demands and tried to lock her in so sort of facility. However, she disappeared from that facility after a few minutes and reappeared at ho as if nothing had happened."
"That is kind of amazing," Ethan nodded, a bit surprised.
"The previous Russian president beca unpopular thanks to such actions, and now the current one seems to have a good relationship with her and with the world thanks to her demands," Hannah explained. "What? Are you thinking of buying a custom-made simulator?"
"That is exactly what I was thinking," Ethan said.
"You should give up," Hannah said. "The price of a single one is insane, and the cost to maintain it isn't sothing to laugh at. I heard that the cheapest ones cost around one hundred million dollars, and the cost to keep such an object working per month is around ten million."
Although those were so insane prices, Ethan only frowned. After facing death many tis, money wasn't really sothing that surprised him or made him feel interested. It was only a ans to an end, but since he was short on those ans, he wasn't able to get what he wanted.
"I promised you that I would teach you so magic, didn't I?" Hannah asked. "That being said, your mana has increased and beca stronger. That is a sign that you have been learning so spells. I didn't think the school would be able to teach a muscle-head like spells you so fast."
"Instead of that, now that I think about it," Ethan said. "You said that you used a special type of magic, but I didn't see you doing anything special on izibio."
"That is because you asked to offer you support," Hannah explained. "My real skills cost a lot of mana, so I didn't use it. If you ask nicely, I will teach you."
"It is that easy?" Ethan asked.
"No, according to the history of Nuvian's world, only a few individuals could use it," Hannah said. "But since you are a hero, you probably can learn it."
"What kind of magic are we talking about?" Ethan asked.
"Word magic," Hannah replied.
