Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 141
Only Noblemtl
Episode 141 Erased Name (4)
It might not seem like it to an outsider, but Galen really was just throwing a light jab.
Because it was an attack that moved only the spirits, without any assistance from water manipulation.
[Spirit Creation Lv.67]
[13% progress to next level]
The spirit creation was still in gold, and the opponent was also a golden wizard.
If the opponent had been knocked out in one blow in the same golden search, he would have been rather flustered.
That’s true, though.
“… … .”
This is a bit unexpected. Galen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Hooo …
The giant’s arm, which had been swinging vigorously toward the armored monster, suddenly slowed down as if the brakes had been applied at some point.
The attack, which continued to slow down, eventually stopped just before reaching the armored monster.
Phew!
Was it a forced stop? The giant’s arm burst without any strength. The water that had been tied up flowed out all at once.
However, the armored monster right below did not get wet. The water stream slid to the side, avoiding him, as if he were covered by a transparent umbrella.
Galen was watching the whole scene clearly in a time slowed down by the acceleration of thought.
“It’s a fun magic.”
Galen muttered. It wasn’t a whine, it was a genuine sentiment.
Judging from the visual effects on the surface, it looked like the opponent’s magic had exerted a strong repulsive force and stopped the giant’s arm.
Galen, who had a channel with the spirits, knew exactly what was happening.
The moment it touched the opponent’s magic, the water giant suddenly became withered as if it had aged. Even though spirits have no concept of aging.
The giant’s arm burst not because of an external impact, but because it lost the strength to maintain its shape internally.
[Death Cloud Fog]
[1% progress until first acquisition]
The status window is a huge help in any situation.
Since I just encountered it, all I can tell is the name of the magic, but just looking at the name, I can feel that something is off.
Death is death, and mist is fog.
I can roughly guess what form of magic it is.
Maybe it was because it was a dark night, or maybe it was just faint to begin with, but I couldn’t see anything that could be called ‘fog’, but there must have been something that blocked the giant’s arm.
If the so-called ‘death’ effect that weakened the spirits also applied to living beings… that might be the true nature of the plague.
“… … .”
Meanwhile, the armored monster remained silent until then.
It was true that he was looking towards Galen, but it was questionable whether he could see properly in front of him because the helmet cover was pulled down so deeply.
“This is it.”
The first voice came not from inside the helmet, but from someone else’s mouth.
He was a middle-aged man with unusually small eyes and a somewhat frivolous appearance.
“It’s a day where I meet a lot of unexpected people.”
The squinty-eyed man, who was shaking his head, had an exaggerated frown on his face. Although he didn’t pour water on himself, the wet condition of the road seemed to bother him.
“I never would have thought that a rare spirit master would pop up in a place like this. And he’s someone I don’t even know.”
“It’s a shame. If only I had stayed a few more months, I might have known. Well, it’s not yet time yet, so that’s why I’m here.”
Galen snickered. Hearing those words, the cross-eyed man’s small eyes became even smaller.
“I guess the church took great care in hiring you.”
“Because it’s our job to catch and punish suspicious people like you.”
“I see. But don’t you realize how dangerous this situation is?”
“what?”
“You have placed the spirit too far away.”
Before the squinty-eyed man could even finish speaking.
Shhh shhh shhh shhh!
Arrows were fired simultaneously from both sides of Galen.
Those hiding inside the dark house fired their crossbows through the gaps in the windows.
Wizards were originally vulnerable to surprise attacks, and spirit masters were especially helpless without spirits. The timing was good.
Only, Galen was not an ordinary wizard, much less a shaman.
Papapapapapak!
The water arrows that appeared in the air in an instant were twice as numerous as the arrows from the fiercely flying crossbow.
The water arrows flew in pairs in each direction, one for interception and the other for counterattack.
“Ugh!”
“100 million!”
All the arrows burst into the air, and the hidden archers were killed all at once.
Four people rushed into Galen’s sight, who had been dealing with the surprise attack without taking his eyes off the front.
Of the six people riding in the carriage, including the coachman, all but the armored monster and the cross-eyed man charged at once.
And even faster than them, the water giant, which had regained its form, fired a huge water cannon from its mouth.
Puhwaaaaaaaah!
The water cannon, which was fired at high pressure and cut a straight line through the air, suddenly turned at a right angle in the middle.
A stream of water poured down from above and covered the four people who were rushing towards them at once.
Kwaaaaang!
The four people who were hit head-first by the waterfall were unable to scream and just fell to the ground, crumpled.
Judging by the speed at which they were rushing, they seemed to be warriors of about a hundred years old, but it was meaningless. They were trampled and could not get up again.
“What’s wrong with the spirit?”
Galen snorted.
“Hmm… weren’t you a spirit master… … ?”
The squinty-eyed man who had been groaning finally clapped his hands together as if he had realized something.
“Oh, I see. I think I understand now. If you’re just talking about a water wizard, there’s someone who comes to mind. You’re a wizard named Galen, right?”
“well?”
“There’s a magician that the church is pushing for some reason? Surprisingly, he’s a top-tier gold-type water type at a young age of 20. It’s hard to have two of those people. I can understand why he’s here. Recently, there’s even a rumor going around that he’s become a jewel—”
“What did you just say?”
A rough, scraping voice cut off the squinted man’s words. It certainly wasn’t Galen’s.
The squinty-eyed man shrugged nonchalantly, looking back at the armored monster who had opened his mouth for the first time since meeting Galen.
“Oh, it’s just a rumor. There have been rumors of a new jewel wizard appearing in some parts of the South recently. If you put it together, that person is the one who started the rumor. Of course, it’s a trick of the church, so you don’t have to believe it—”
“How stupid.”
The cross-eyed man, whose words were interrupted twice in a row while being cursed at, frowned slightly. However, the armored monster did not care and just growled.
“Did you personally confirm that it was false?”
“… I didn’t have time to check. It was a rumor I heard really recently.”
“But how can you be sure that it’s false?”
“That doesn’t make sense.”
“Are your eyes slits? Did what he just showed you seem like nothing more than gold?”
“Rumor has it that he is a special water wizard who is strong even on land.”
“Such a wizard cannot exist.”
The armored monster, who had stated coldly, looked at Galen again and added.
“If it exists, then it’s a monster in another sense. Am I wrong, wizard?”
“I don’t know exactly what you’re talking about.”
Galen tilted his head.
“Am I a jewel or a monster? Am I one of the two?”
“There’s no need to try to change the subject. I realized that I absolutely must kill you here and now.”
“I don’t know why you’re taking the initiative. Whatever the reason, I’m grateful.”
The armored monster spoke in a murderous voice, and the squinted-eyed man smirked.
Galen, who was whispering among himself, suddenly stopped for a moment, wondering why the mood was so bad.
The armored monster is convinced that Galen’s skills are extraordinary. He doesn’t overestimate them, and he even goes so far as to rebuke the cross-eyed man who completely denies the possibility of Galen being a gem.
But the only reason they are so active is because they think they have a chance of winning.
Tsk tsk!
That moment.
Galen’s senses were aroused.
The feeling of a huge, transcendent being weighing down on your soul.
It felt as if the already large armored monster had grown dozens of times in size.
It was a revised world. The other person’s.
“What?!”
Galen’s eyes widened. He was so shocked that his heart almost dropped because he had never imagined what would happen.
Fortunately, this isn’t the first time he’s faced a jewel wizard. In the first place, wasn’t it because Galen was inspired by Radika’s revised world that he reached the jewel realm?
Thanks to this, Galen was able to respond reflexively even in the midst of fright.
Tsk tsk!
The world of reforming water manipulation has begun to move forward vigorously.
Two different wills, each based on absolute self-confidence and each trying to color the world with their own colors, began to occupy the same space and mix together at will.
No one explained it to Galen, but he knew it instinctively.
When the Archbishop’s Selection and the Jewel Wizard’s Reformed World meet, they eat each other and become weak together.
When the Jewel Wizard’s revised world meets, the two overlap, giving an advantage to both sides.
Of course, it wasn’t knowledge I wanted to know when suddenly put in this situation.
“Is this really how it is?”
The armored monster muttered softly.
“But I guess there’s no problem killing him.”
Something like a white gas slowly flowed out through the gaps in the armor.
Galen, who instinctively felt something ominous, moved the spirit first.
Phew!
The water giant, who had regained his form, threw a punch just like before.
But the results weren’t the same.
Phussssss!
As soon as the giant’s fist touched the fog surrounding the armored monster, it melted away.
To be exact, the moment it touched the fog, its shape collapsed and it simply flowed down as water, but the process happened so quickly that it really looked like it was melting in a strong acid or something.
And Galen, who sensed a more intimate part than what was visible to the eye, was even more shocked.
“What is this… … .”
If earlier it felt like the spirit had become weaker, this time it felt like the magic power that made up the spirit itself was crumbling.
If the Archbishop’s selection seems to ‘cut away’ magic, does this seem to ‘eat away’ magic?
There were differences, but the feeling of being dirty was the same.
I thought maybe I had misunderstood, but was immediately denied.
Phusssssss!
The fog that had risen up the spirit’s arm upside down covered the spirit’s torso. The giant’s body collapsed helplessly.
Galen, who felt both disgust and eerie, quickly retrieved the spirit. The cat that escaped from the overflowing water ran towards Galen.
Even though the spirit was not a sentient being, it felt as if it was trembling for some reason. Galen gritted his teeth as he held the cat that had run toward him in his arms and comforted it.
“Yeah, I don’t know what it is, but this is a world where everything is killed.”
There is no way to know exactly what mindset was in place to develop the revised world, except for myself.
Looking at his appearance, he must be the type that has such a strong will to kill that he goes on a rampage, even threatening to kill magic. It may be hard to believe, but seeing the magic power of the spirit creation slowly melting away, he must have some kind of strong imagery.
If that’s the case, then we can treat this side the same way.
Although the types are different, the revised world of water manipulation is also the result of strong self-confidence.
Absolute dominion over water.
Ssrrrrrr!
The cat, regaining its energy, puffed up behind Galen.
He reverted to the form of a giant with only the upper body, built a fence around Galen with both arms, and released water all at once as if opening a floodgate.
Swaaaaaaah!
There was chaos in the streets.
The flood, which ran only along the road without touching the surrounding houses at all, covered the armored monster and the cross-eyed man in the empty lot at the same time.
Passssssssss!
The fog surrounding the two people blocked the water like a protective shield.
Just like before, Galen’s magic power was drained.
But it definitely felt different than when the spirit was attacked.
The magic power of the water flow manipulation that reached the jewel, unlike the magic power of the golden spirit creation, was not easily chipped away. Even as it was chipped away, it suppressed the magic power contained in the fog.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
As if he were trapping his opponent in a tank, Galen pressed down hard on the water that filled the entire clearing.
The fog barrier wasn’t perfect. Even though it was eating away at the magic at the border, it couldn’t fully withstand the mass of the water itself, so water slowly seeped inward.
Sensing this, Galen muttered fiercely.
“Let’s see how long you can hold out.”
If it was a fight to see who would last longer between the two, Galen was confident.
Because he had a star crumb. If the jewels had similar abilities, this one had the advantage in magic power.
Even if you try to do something else, there isn’t much you can do while trapped underwater, unless the fog suddenly becomes so powerful that it completely consumes your magic.
That’s what I was thinking.
Ding!
Galen suddenly felt dizzy.
It was common to become tired when focusing too much on magic, so I didn’t think much of it.
“Coolook, coolook.”
I felt a little stuffy in my chest, so I coughed a few times, and for some reason I tasted a bloody taste.
Galen wiped the corner of his mouth, looked at his palm, and paused for a moment.
“…uh?”
Blood was seen in the moonlight.
