Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 111
Only Noblemtl
Episode 111 Bonus Stage (6)
There was no time rush and on the surface he looked relaxed, but in reality, he was exhausted from fighting the rapids and developing the new world, so Galen decided to take a break.
It was natural since no one was coming, but the campsite was still there, so all I had to do was lie down.
“Are you having a hard time?”
“I guess, mentally?”
“Please close your eyes for a bit.”
As she said this, Lilia held Galen’s hand and prayed.
Pot!
The miracle of vitality and the miracle of healing simultaneously embraced Galen.
It wasn’t particularly helpful since I wasn’t particularly injured and didn’t lose any stamina.
However, when the body is in peak condition, it naturally affects the mind.
What should I say, help me get the best rest possible?
“Thank you always.”
Lilia answered with a small smile.
It wasn’t a full-fledged camping trip where you carry around tents and such, so they didn’t really give Galen a separate space to rest or anything.
Lilia, sitting next to him, hummed softly. Galen, lying comfortably on the blanket, briefly brought up the status screen before closing his eyes.
[Water Flow Manipulation Lv.72]
[14% progress to next level]
It’s been a while since I passed level 70 and I’ve already leveled up by 2.
It was the price for destroying the core of the relic.
Considering the power of the wind, which would have been unimaginable if it weren’t for the lake environment, level 2 seems a bit salty.
As a result, I was able to conquer the ruins more easily and had less trouble than I did at the Oklanne ruins. Also, the higher the level, the more the difference of one level feels like.
‘It actually seems to have gone up a lot?’
In fact, there are an absolute majority of wizards who will never be able to turn into jewels until they die, so if you whine about it, you might be sentenced to death for treason.
Anyway, I was satisfied because I confirmed that being blocked at level 69 and 100% was only a temporary phenomenon, and that I would level up again if I just got over the wall. Although I really don’t have enough experience points to satisfy the jewels anymore.
In addition to that.
[Spiral Flow Lv.1]
[1% progress to next level]
The newly acquired sixth magic has also settled in safely.
Galen pondered the knowledge that had been engraved in his head as soon as he acquired it.
‘If we look at it by system, it would be wind. Rather than directly manipulating the atmosphere, it’s a magic that creates a certain flow. Especially a whirlpool.’
It is a spiral that goes round and round, and because it turns like that, it returns to its original place, so it is a reflux.
To put it simply, it was a magic that created a whirlwind.
Like a white, rapid stream surrounding the ruins.
It doesn’t change the shape of the body, so it can’t create things like wind blades, so it doesn’t have any killing power of its own…
‘The high wind warning isn’t triggered because you’re dying from the wind.’
It is dangerous because if other objects are swept away or you are swept away and hit someone, you will suffer at least serious injuries.
But isn’t there a limit to its power?
It didn’t matter. Galen wasn’t a wizard who only mastered spiral gyration. He could compensate for his shortcomings.
‘It will be even more useful now that I don’t have to hide it anymore.’
Galen chuckled, pushed the status window away, and closed his eyes.
His breathing became increasingly shallow.
* * *
We spent two more nights at the lake.
It was also a decision to accept Radhika’s opinion that she wanted to wait and see for a few more days just in case.
Galen also still had personal business to attend to at the lake.
After resting for a day and recovering his magical powers, Galen built a submarine again and revisited the ruins.
“It really exists!”
Lilia, who was working hard to shine today, had sparkling eyes.
The submarine’s destination was not the central building where the staff was stuck, but the buildings on the outskirts.
Most of it had collapsed, except for simple structures like castle walls, but that didn’t matter at all.
Whirlirik!
Because all you have to do is clean up the debris.
The pneumatic actuators worked hard, pushing the useless things far and wide.
After searching the ruins for a while, I finally found what I was looking for.
“Then that’s right.”
Galen chuckled as he looked at the treasures that sparkled and reflected the light.
“There’s no way a guy who built a building this big on top of a mountain would know anything. I had a feeling there would be some left.”
“It’s not that many, but… Oklanye was a particularly valuable relic!”
Most of the items were unusable because they were submerged in water, but precious metals such as gold and silver had not yet lost their color.
I came back after scraping everything clean. Radhika, who had remained on land, burst into laughter at the sight of the treasures washing up on the shore like a school of dead fish.
I roughly calculated the value.
“I think I can get at least five thousand gold coins. I don’t think it will go up to six thousand.”
“Not bad for a result of just going out for a drink.”
Galen nodded after hearing Radica’s feelings.
“There are too many to take back, so let’s leave them here. You can send a staff member to the general meeting later to get them.”
“Okay then. We can settle the accounts at the general meeting.”
“it’s okay.”
“huh?”
“You don’t have to accept it. I’ve already discussed it with Lilia.”
“What does that mean?”
Radika expressed her doubts.
“You were the one who solved the ruins, and you were the one who discovered the treasure. It’s yours, of course. There’s no share for me.”
“I have already gained so much. Just being a jewel is enough to satisfy me.”
“Isn’t that your own achievement?”
“Radhika’s advice also has its place.”
Galen added, shrugging his shoulders.
“To be more honest, it’s also a bribe to ask for a favor.”
“…huh?”
“Would this be enough of an activity to go back and get some star crumbs?”
“of course.”
“You said you would make the finished product, so you will make both of them for us.”
“however?”
“I’m asking you to take good care of me at that time. It’s like a fee paid to a craftsman.”
“Even if you don’t give it to me, I’ll make it well.”
“Of course you would, but we also just keep receiving it. My conscience is a little ticklish… … .”
It was the same reason why he didn’t ask for any special reward from Damus after beating up Bentis.
It’s okay if you only see each other once or twice, but if you want to maintain a good relationship in the long term, it’s also difficult if you only accept things unilaterally.
Even if it is a fair compensation for a request, if you continue to succeed and continue to receive it, the memory of what you have gained will fade and only what you have given will remain in your memory.
Even if Radica personally isn’t like that, looking at the Earth Elves as a whole, there might be some who are a little envious of Galen and Lilia taking those precious star fragments twice in a row.
If you show that you are not greedy like this, it will help your reputation, not hurt it.
And honestly, isn’t it true that people tend to work a little harder when they receive money rather than something for free? Are fairies an exception?
“You have no intention of giving in.”
Eventually, Radika nodded with a bitter smile.
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
“thank you.”
“It seems like the ones who should be saying thank you have switched places… … .”
Anyway, while we’re on the subject, let’s talk about compensation.
“What shape do you want?”
“hmm.”
Galen’s gaze briefly turned to Radica’s neck. Although it was hidden by the collar, there was a necklace hanging there.
Anyway, Galen doesn’t wear weapons or armor, so it would be more of an accessory, so a necklace would be fine.
‘But it looks quite heavy. I heard that being heavy is bad for your throat.’
The earth elf was strong, but Galen’s body was like that of an ordinary person. Furthermore, it seemed like it would be uncomfortable to suddenly carry around something heavy after never having done it before.
“I think just a bracelet would be nice.”
“Bracelet. It’s fine. There’s a risk of it falling off, so if you make the shape this thick… … .”
After talking about this and that for a while, we came up with a rough draft.
Radika looked back at Lilia.
“Lilia, what about you? Are you also a holy sword?”
“Well, I’ve been thinking about it for a while… … .”
Surprisingly, Lilia trailed off. Ever since she heard the story that the Holy Sword was made of star fragments, she had been honest about her desire to win.
“The Holy Sword looks really cool, but I don’t know how useful it would be in actual combat.”
“Useless?”
“I choose to use either the Whirlwind Sword or the Whirlwind Spear depending on the situation, but it’s a bit weird to be fixed to a sword… and more than anything, the sword can get damaged during battle.”
“That’s true.”
Even if a light sword breaks, it can be re-summoned, but that’s not the case with a real-life holy sword.
No matter how well you use a weapon, it is something that will eventually get damaged.
“Wouldn’t it be better for me to receive it as an accessory and just use the weapon like I do now?”
“Actually, that’s what I think too.”
“Yeah, right?”
“To be honest, I wondered why our ancestors gave us the Holy Sword. It would have been much wiser to do as you said, Lilia.”
“Maybe they needed a more eye-catching symbol rather than something practical?” Radhika muttered.
“Anyway, then you too as an accessory?”
“yes!”
“With what?”
“that…….”
“that?”
“… Wouldn’t it be okay to do the same thing as your brother?”
“Is it really because of practicality?”
“Oh, that’s right!”
As she said that, Lilia glanced at Galen. Galen smiled, and Radika’s eyes drew a line.
“Yes, I suppose so. If it’s the same shape bracelet… Lillia, you’re right-handed, right?”
“Oh, yes.”
“It might be a bit annoying when moving around violently, so let’s wear it on the left arm. Galen can wear it on the right arm.”
“I’m fine with that too.”
Since I happen to have the spirit wrapped around my left arm, the imbalance will be balanced.
“Okay. I’ve got the general shape, but I might change it when I get the exact measurements anyway.”
“Radhika said coolly.
“I’ll make it for you as soon as I get back.”
The sky mirror, of course, remained clear until the day of departure.

It took a few hours to catch the wyvern again and cross the mountains.
They headed to the headquarters of the Federation General Assembly, not the hunting grounds they had left a few days ago.
“No, what? You already went and came back?”
Rushad asked incredulously.
Thanks to the wyvern, the travel time was greatly shortened, and it overlapped exactly with the time when the General Assembly finished organizing the festival and returned. They walked from the festival site to the General Assembly headquarters.
Well, the sooner it was done, the better. Rushad nodded readily after hearing Radhika’s report.
“Even you wouldn’t talk nonsense about something like this.”
“What does ‘even you’ mean?”
“It’s exactly as you think. Anyway, how many people should I send to retrieve the treasure… … .”
In principle, the request would have been completed only after the formal investigators at the general meeting had completed the documentation process, but Rushad coolly processed it first with his authority as chairman.
Ownership of the star fragments was officially transferred to Galen and Lilia.
“I’ll show off my skills after a long time.”
“Did Radika do it herself?”
“They say we learn the basics of hammering from a young age.”
Radhika herself stepped forward and made jewelry for the two of them.
Since they had been talking continuously, they knew best what the two wanted.
The work speed was also incredibly fast.
Since the power of the earth protected his body, he was hardly affected by things like heat, and since he had tremendous strength, even the hard hammering was done in an instant.
A pair of bracelets came out like that.
“Wow… … .”
Lilia opened her mouth wide, and Galen was genuinely impressed.
It was about half a span wide, and overall it was a cylinder that could be wrapped around the arm. However, it was not a flat cylinder, but had beautiful patterns that were connected to each other, wrapping around half of the lower arm.
Even if it were made of ordinary metal, it could be considered a work of art in itself.
Radika put the bracelets on both of their arms. They fit perfectly. It was only natural since she had measured them.
“With magic power… Lillia, try using it once, with the feeling of wrapping the bracelet with your holy power.”
I did as I was told.
Woof!
I should say it was a faint tremor. It wasn’t actually vibrating, but it felt like it.
“I feel a little shaky!”
Lillia seemed to feel the same way. Radika nodded.
“That’s the power of the stars. If you keep wrapping them around, there will come a point where you won’t feel the trembling anymore. That’s when you’ll know that you’ve been tamed.”
“How long will it take?”
“Well, it depends on how hard you train it. It shouldn’t take that long.”
Radhika smiled and said to the two people who kept looking at the bracelet with curious eyes.
“Until then, take your time and rest.”
