Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 130
Only Noblemtl
Episode 130 Oceanis (6)
The battlefield, which had been making a loud noise of water crashing into water just a moment ago, was now engulfed in an eerie, deathly silence.
It was as if time had frozen. From the tsunami that had stood still to the large and medium-sized ships, no one was moving, just frozen.
“Whoaah.”
Among the deathly black and white silence, one of the only people with color was, of course, Lilia.
“As expected, brother. I believed in you!”
“For something like that, your complexion seems a little pale.”
“Well, that has nothing to do with faith! If you don’t feel anything after seeing something like that, isn’t that a bigger problem?”
“but.”
“Are you talking about your brother?!”
“I knew it in advance.”
Galen shrugged.
In the first place, it was impossible to control the water without avoiding his eyes that were viewing the water of the entire battlefield.
I watched for a while to see what they were up to, but then I stopped them because their teasing was getting too much. That was it.
If the Golden Eight had learned a different type of magic, they wouldn’t have been treated as ‘joking’.
Galen’s revised world was a perfect superior version of the general water manipulation, so it was literally like a fight between an adult and a child. It was because he was absolutely sure of victory even before he fought.
“And… that has its merits too.”
“That? Oh, that.”
“I feel more relaxed both mentally and physically, so it’s definitely less of a burden and that’s good.”
Although it wasn’t a pre-arranged password, there was no problem in the two people’s communication by only using pronouns.
Since both of them had the Star Crumbs bracelet, they could understand each other perfectly even if I spoke to them in a rude manner.
The only magic that has reached the level of a jewel is water manipulation.
Even if he only used other magics, Galen was still strong, but he couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy compared to when he had water manipulation. Even a few servings of gold were clearly different from jewels.
Fortunately, thanks to the Star Crumb Bracelet, which reduces magic drain by half, I still had plenty of magic left over even while playing with the Golden Eight.
‘Well, there’s no need to waste any more magic power.’
By this point, the visual effects have been overflowing.
Galen waved his hand again.
The force of the water flow caught the seawater and threw it back into the sea.
As if time had been rewinded, the size of the tidal wave that had once soared high slowly diminished.
The sea level didn’t even shake much during the process. It was such a quiet disappearance that you wouldn’t even know it had happened.
“Okay, then―”
Galen stopped talking and quietly closed his mouth.
Lilia tilted her head and followed Galen’s gaze to find Elisa.
Elisa was still staring blankly at the spot where the tsunami had disappeared.
“… … .”
Her eyes were unfocused.
Experience the world of revision most deeply from Galen’s closest perspective.
A battle between the Golden Net who are giving it their all and Galen who is suppressing them from the front.
At the end, another tidal wave called by the Golden Net was powerlessly stopped.
Elisa, who had been trying to see everything as much as possible in slow time while using the acceleration of the accident, was in a state of great shock.
She was now struggling in a flood of inspiration, as they were not just strong wizards, but also all seniors of the same lineage.
Terti, who had been guarding Elisa, had been keeping her mouth shut since a while ago. Fortunately, the conversation between Galen and Lilia did not seem to disturb her deep thoughts.
“oh.”
Lilia belatedly covered her mouth with an expression of “Oh no,” and Galen’s eyes became profound.
Because all of his water manipulation abilities were enhanced within the revised world, he was able to see through things that were normally invisible.
‘… This, maybe it’s possible.’
The corners of Galen’s mouth slightly rose as he calmly recalled his memories and tapped away at the calculator.
After a while, Elisha suddenly came to her senses.
She blinked a few times, looked around, and understood the situation.
“I, I’m sorry. I didn’t know… … .”
“No. There is no one here who does not know how important a moment of great awakening is.”
It was ironic that Galen, the one who had been least influenced by enlightenment among the three, spoke on behalf of the three.
“Why don’t you go and finish up? By the way, Miss.”
“Yes, Galen.”
“What you asked for earlier, I think Rios would be possible instead of Raven.”
“…yes?”
Elisa’s eyes widened slightly. Her voice trembled slightly.
“Is it possible…?”
“It’s still difficult, but now it’s possible. Of course, it’s dangerous, so I want to discourage it.”
“Tell me exactly. Is it a probability that exists only in theory, or a probability that can actually be walked?”
“It’s the latter, but―”
“Then I will do it.”
Before Galen could finish answering, Elisha spoke decisively.
Galen, seeing her blazing eyes, nodded without further persuasion.
“All right.”
Anyway, if it’s really dangerous, I might get involved.
Galen turned around and looked at the flagship again.
Swish—
After the battle began, the distance between the two ships, which had been maintained for a short time, began to decrease again.
This time the method was a little different, as the medium-sized ship slid towards the flagship.
There was no obstruction during the approach.
The shock when Galen stopped the tsunami was so great that those on board the flagship either lost all will to fight or were at a loss as to what to do.
thud!
The side of the ship was hit very slightly.
Since there is a size difference between large and medium-sized ships, the height of the bow is naturally different, but Galen solved it simply.
The seawater supporting the medium-sized ship was pulled up to twice its height.
Galen and Elisha walked side by side in front. Lilia followed Galen, and Terti followed Elisha, half a step behind. It was obvious at a glance who was the leader.
The four of them walked across to the flagship as if they were walking on flat ground. The people on the deck stepped back hesitantly, creating space naturally.
“Hey, Miss Elisa?”
“The young lady… how… … .”
“I feel like I’ve seen that guy before… … .”
“Isn’t that the man? The servant of Lord Gerbon?”
“Oh, by the way!”
There was commotion everywhere.
Since close combat was not anticipated from the beginning, the ships that set out this time did not have many troops on board despite being large ships.
Other ships were manned only by archers, while the flagship was manned mainly by the bodyguards and elite whites.
In short, excluding the ship’s crew, only mid-level or higher members of the family were gathered.
Rather, it was because of this that many people recognized Elisa and even Galen’s face.
The confusion was bound to be even greater since they had no information about who they were fighting, other than the leadership.
The leaders who had to put it to sleep were more shocked than they were, so they had no way of controlling it.
“It’s been a while, everyone.”
Elisa greeted with a cold voice. She glared at Lius, glared at Tarina, and glared at Raven.
“It’s been almost two years, I think. Excluding my uncle and stepfather.”
Elisha gave a light greeting to the remaining gold ones, except for those three.
Rios, who felt like he was going crazy but couldn’t give up yet, desperately racked his brain and said.
“Elisa, aren’t you ashamed? You brought in a stranger to attack your family!”
“Yes. It’s embarrassing. If I had the strength, I could have done it by myself.”
“Do you think there will be no trouble if you become the next head of the household this way?”
“Ahahaha, a backlash? A backlash?”
Although Lius belatedly tried to frame Elisa as a traitor blinded by power, it was already too late.
“You! You!”
Elisha, whose eyes were rolled back, threw away all honorifics and titles and shouted.
“You killed your little brother, Gervon! Did you think there would be no repercussions? That little child! Was assassinated by your dirty tricks!”
I couldn’t figure out where that sound was coming from in that slender body. Even though she wasn’t a warrior or priest capable of physical enhancement, Elisa’s furious roar resonated throughout the entire flagship.
“Rius! Tarina! Raven! I do not recognize you as blood! You rejected us just because we have different stomachs, and in the end, you even committed assassination! I will not associate with you beasts even if the sky falls!”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
“You, stop trying to hide the truth with that dirty mouth of yours!”
Lius’s rebuttal was drowned out by Elisa’s scolding before it could even begin.
How did Raven obtain slush funds that far exceeded my own funds and how did he embezzle them without anyone noticing?
Whom did Tarina send to Ruata with the money to have him assassinated on New Moon?
Over the past two years, he had barely managed to find traces of his life by secretly receiving help from the governor and working as a mercenary to make up for the lack of money, and all of this came pouring out from Elisa’s mouth.
“You think I’m talking nonsense? Then tell me, Lius! Tell me where the nonsense is! Tell me that you had no involvement at all, and that Tarina and Raven came forward and killed Gervon!”
Rios was trembling but couldn’t say much.
The fact that I had readily admitted the truth in front of Kled was holding me back. Because of that, I couldn’t say anything different to the other leaders.
Even so, when faced with a great enemy, they put aside their personal feelings and fought together, but the result was a one-sided and overwhelming defeat.
There was no way the leadership could have made the decision to protect Rios until the end when he was pushed to the edge of a cliff.
If the situation had been the opposite, Rios himself would have done the same. Especially since the other party had a very good excuse to throw it out.
Even if you try to make excuses to persuade those who are not in the leadership, persuading the Baek Euns will not help solve the situation.
Elisa’s screaming attitude as if spitting blood was too convincing. It was natural, since she was shouting the truth.
It ended at the point where Elisa couldn’t sink it into the sea before boarding the flagship.
“This… damn… … !”
Lius gnashed his teeth as he glared at Galen, the mastermind, as if he was going to kill him, but all he got in return was a snort.
“Is that all you have left to say, Master Lius? Then it’s time for you to hand over your balls.”
“How dare you!”
It was obvious to anyone that he was mocking me by only calling me Master. Thinking that I had been taken advantage of by a lowly person made my blood pressure rise even higher.
The anger that arose from the pride of one’s noble bloodline temporarily suppressed the fear.
It’s a do-or-die situation anyway. Rios gathered all his remaining magical power.
And nothing happened.
“… … ?”
Rios, who had a blank expression for a moment, tried to use his magic again, and realized it belatedly.
The surrounding waters that always came when he called were not even looking at him, instead obeying the words of a higher being.
“This, this is crazy… … .”
The fear that had been suppressed for a moment rebounded and soared several times over.
It was an inevitable weakness of Oceanis to become weak in places where there was no water around.
There’s no water to steer on the ocean? Not even one?
Only then did I notice the expressions on the faces of the leaders around me.
No matter what the situation was like, there was a reason why a few golden ones were left to say something.
How can I have courage when my magic is completely blocked and I am no better than a normal person?
“Why… from the beginning… … .”
If I had this ability, if I had used it from the beginning, the fight wouldn’t have even happened.
When Rios asked with barely managed to muster up his voice, Galen answered with a smirk.
“Well, people who aren’t wizards wouldn’t be able to tell.”
It was said that the warriors who did not know magic would not be able to feel the reality of not being able to use magic, so they were destroyed head-on so that they could see it clearly.
Realizing that he was playing right into the palm of his opponent’s hand, Rios now lost the will to even be angry.
“Well, anyway, since that’s what happened… Miss.”
But then, suddenly, Galen took a step back.
Elisa nodded slightly in gratitude and opened her mouth.
“Rius, I will ask you to pay for your sins.”
“…Do whatever you want. I can’t even rebel anyway.”
“Can you do it now?”
“what?”
Frowning, Rios instinctively tried to use his magic power.
It was true. The waters reacted again.
“What… are you planning?”
“I will avenge Gerbon.”
Elisa’s eyes burned brightly.
“Only you, with my own hands.”
