Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 131
Only Noblemtl
Episode 131 Oceanis (7)
Rios was dumbfounded.
Of course, his condition was not good at the moment. He had exhausted his magical power and was mentally exhausted from fighting Galen with all his might.
But even so, he was gold and Elisha was silver.
It’s not even the highest level silver that’s treated as a reserve gold like Raven, it’s only mid-level at best.
Although the progress was fast for his age, the difference in status was clear when looking at the present rather than the future.
“So… you want to fight? You and I, one-on-one?”
“okay.”
“Your arrogance is beyond measure.”
Rios burst into laughter.
“Do you think that you yourself became a jewel because you trampled on the family by borrowing the power of the jewel?”
“It’s not that your family was trampled, it’s just that you three siblings were trampled.”
Elisa sneered.
“Has even one of the family’s ships been destroyed? Has even one person died? What else has been done besides the gold’s magic power being consumed? Oh, arrows and iron bars?”
Lius was speechless for a moment. The others who were listening to their conversation also had a similar realization.
Everyone was so scared of the jewel’s transcendent magic that they didn’t pay attention to other things.
If you think about it carefully, there really was no damage at all.
It was a shameless excuse to claim that the cost of making arrows and iron spears was causing property damage. Even Lius could not bring himself to do such a shameful thing.
Elisha’s words gained more strength when people realized that Galen was truly forgiving.
“You killed Gervon with the help of the Assassins, and this time you mobilized the entire family’s power to attack us. And you feel wronged that I received Galen’s help? Then step forward yourself. Don’t hide like a rat.”
“Yes, if that is what you want, I will gladly fight for you.”
Rios, who had been following this, strode forward.
On the outside, he looked as if he had been provoked and was furious, but inside, Lius’s brain was spinning as he came to life after seeing a ray of hope.
It was the last chance given.
What if I could just kill Elisa here?
The situation changes again. Galen and his group become complete outsiders, and the leadership that was planning to abandon Lius and choose Elisa will be at a loss now that they have no target.
Of course, just because Elisa died, Galen wouldn’t just say, “What a shame. Well, I’m off!” and leave… but at least things would be better than they are now.
No, even leaving all that aside.
I cannot stand to see such arrogant people clinging to the prestige of jewels and looking down on gold while they are only talking about silver.
“Come and see!”
“Where are you pretending to give in!”
Elisa’s arm, raised with a shout, was enveloped in a whirling stream of water.
Rios smiled inwardly, thinking that it would be an easier match since he seemed to have lost his sense of reason due to his anger.
Phew!
The magic of two people with intertwined fates collided in the center like mirrors.
Lilia, who had been looking at Galen with slightly worried eyes, whispered softly in his ear.
“Is that okay? That wasn’t the original plan.”
In fact, even though Galen had done everything, Elisha’s mind could not be at ease.
Would she have wanted to leave her revenge to someone else? She just couldn’t help it because she didn’t have enough strength.
Elisa wanted to take down at least one of the three siblings with her own hands, and naturally, her opponent was Raven. After all, they were both silver.
But suddenly it’s Rios? It’s not like Tarina has only recently turned gold, she’s been gold for several years.
“If I think about it rationally, I should have stopped it.”
Galen turned his head slightly towards Lilia and muttered softly.
“But if you think about it emotionally, even if the three siblings conspired, wasn’t the leader Rios?”
“Are you saying that it is a more satisfying revenge to beat up the firstborn than the third?”
“Yes. Plus, you can gain recognition for your talents. You’ll be able to defeat the existing successor, who is thirteen years older than you, with your skills.”
Of course, since Rios is not in top condition, he won not just through pure skill, but even considering that, it is a great achievement. It will also reduce the burden on the executives who have to replace the successor.
“But in the end, that’s something that only works if you win.”
“You can win. As long as you don’t get impatient.”
Galen asserted.
Something that only he, out of the hundreds of people present, can see.
To be exact, it is not something you see, but something you feel through the revised world.
A faint power surrounding Elisa that allows her to rebel, even slightly, against Galen’s will, which controls all the water in this battlefield.
It was the home ground of the Golden Wizard, the realm of fantasy.
And the fight went exactly as he had expected.
Ppop! Ppop! Papapak!
Elisa, who was half-out of control with anger, continued to pour out her magic skillfully without wavering at all.
At first, Rios was confident, but he gradually became confused as the fight did not go as he had planned.
“Ugh!”
The only thing Rios was worried about was Galen interfering and preventing Elisa from being killed.
While Galen was just watching, Elisha was fighting him on equal terms, which was ridiculous.
As for the power of magic, it was clear that Rios was at the top.
But the gap wasn’t so overwhelming that it could crush the opponent.
Even in terms of application, Elisa was ahead. She was somehow managing to hold out with her insufficient power through precise use of the right tools.
“What the… this is ridiculous… … !”
Rios never knew.
Elisa, who had been taught by Galen in a perfect answer key and digested it in her own way, grew from a mid-level silver to a top-level silver in less than two months.
In the process, he was trained to respond automatically in any situation while being treated harshly by Galen, who was much better than Rios.
Just before, I saw the fight between the Jewel and the Golden Eight and once again had a great realization that I had entered the Golden Realm, albeit imperfectly.
But overall, Rios still had the upper hand, but that was when he was in full condition.
Having already expended a lot of magical power while fighting Galen, he was not able to gain the upper hand to defeat Elisa before using up all his remaining magical power.
“Die, Rios!”
“Okay, wait a minute―”
Eventually, Elisa accurately hit the moment when Rios, who was running low on magic power, made a mistake.
Phew! Phew!
A water bolt swung like a sword struck Rios.
“Ugh!”
It wasn’t cut because it wasn’t really black, but because the mass of the water wasn’t going anywhere.
The wizard, who was golden and had a body no different from that of a normal person, was finished with that.
Rios, whose upper body was almost crushed, flew backwards. Raven, who happened to be in that position, caught Rios and rolled around with him.
“Oh my!”
“Ah… ahh… … .”
“Haa, haa, haa… … .”
Rios was unconscious, Tarina was shaking, Raven was screaming, and Elisa was breathing heavily.
“This can’t be… This can’t be… … .”
Tarina, who had been shaking, cursed like a madman.
“This can’t be happening!”
Her mind, which had been anxious since she was pushed back four to one by Galen, completely exploded.
The magical power, completely out of control, ran wild, gathering up the surrounding water and throwing it at Elisa.
hook!
Elisa, who was almost physically and mentally exhausted, was unable to respond properly.
Faster than Terti could quickly block Elisa’s path to protect her.
Galen gently grabbed Lilia’s arm, which was instinctively trying to move along.
There was no need for warriors and priests to step forward, the wizard was already taking action.
The water mass flying towards Elisa suddenly slowed down and then shot back at double the speed.
Phew!
Tarina, who had her magic doubled and turned inside out, fell down without even being able to scream.
There was no need to see what would have happened, as it was obviously not a power that a weak wizard could have received with his bare body.
“I said it was one-on-one, Miss Tarina.”
Galen blurted out the words thoughtlessly, then said it as if he had just remembered it belatedly.
“Oh, I should have asked that, but I forgot. Master Raven?”
“Huh, huh?”
“Which of the three sent assassins on the night I was driven out of my family?”
“It’s not me, it’s not me!”
Raven, who was half-as-dazed as Tarina, shouted without even knowing what she was saying.
“Really? I thought you were my master. Didn’t you judge me the lowest? A traitor?”
“There was no subordinate to give orders like that! My older brother or sister decided to take care of it!”
“He was a warrior belonging to a family that had a bronze medal, and I vaguely remember his appearance. If I investigate, everything will come out?”
“I’m telling you, it’s true! That, that’s right. It’s my sister. I said in passing that she was an incompetent person. I guess I was referring to the subordinate who failed the assassination!”
“aha.”
Although he did not do it knowingly, Galen ended up succeeding in his revenge.
Could Raven be lying? It didn’t matter at all whether she was or not.
After all, to Rios, Tarina, Raven, and Galen, they were all similar.
There was no particular reason to hate anyone more or less. They were just treated as a set, so they were just thrown away together.
“Okay, let’s consider it that way. Then… Lord Claude.”
Galen, who had taken his attention away from Raven, looked at Kled.
Now that Rios’ mouth was forcibly sealed, Kled was the top dog, both in age and status.
“I told them to do whatever they wanted with us, but they really did their best to sink us into the sea.”
“… It was an inevitable choice.”
“I know. If the elders are the ones who hit the back of the head of the head of the family, then they would have gone as far as they could. Of course, they were in a position to stop us, so I won’t say anything about that.”
Galen spoke softly, as if to reassure Kled, who was mumbling in a broken voice.
“But this is the result. I think I’ve given you enough time to think. I think it’s time for you to decide on an answer.”
“… … I guess so.”
Cled sighed deeply and looked away.
Irbin nodded with a bitter expression, and the other golds agreed in silence.
In fact, it was obvious what kind of answer would come out from the fact that Lius and Tarina, who were seriously injured to the point where it wouldn’t have been strange if they had lost their breath at any moment, were left unattended.
“Guards, arrest Raven.”
“Ship, Uncle?!”
“Come on! This is an order!”
“Yes, old!”
“Hey, you guys! Can’t let go?!”
Only Raven, who was so shocked that he couldn’t think normally, couldn’t understand the situation and ran wild, even using magic, but he, a silver magician, couldn’t shake off the silver warriors of the royal guard.
Raven finally became quiet after passing out under Kled’s harsh order not to show any mercy.
“The crime of conspiring to assassinate a blood relative, especially a brother with the same father, is a grave crime that cannot be washed away. As the children of the current head of the family, they should have been role models for the people, so the crime is even more serious. The three of you, Lius Oceanis, Tarina Oceanis, and Raven Oceanis, will be sent back to your hometown to pay the price.”
It was not a message to those who could not hear, but to those on board the flagship.
Of course, those who had the status to board the flagship understood the intention very well.
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with what Kled said, and so it was enough to be put forward as an external justification.
In reality, there is no noble family that strictly enforces family law to the point of cutting off the neck of the next head of the family.
This was possible because of just one person.
“Wise decision, I appreciate it.”
Galen said with a smile on his face. Cled replied with a weak smile.
“I’ll take care of the rest when I return home.”
“Is it okay if I watch?”
“… Even if I tell you not to look, you’re still going to look, right?”
“Of course, after coming all this way, why would you skip the ending?”
“Come see.”
“Then I’ll see you at Solta.”
Galen, taking it lightly, helped Elisa back to the medium-sized ship.
After a while, the Oceanids’ fleet turned around and headed south.
The same excitement that had set out north was no longer there.
