Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 171

Episode 171: The Strongest Spirit Master on Earth (6)

“Tongue, brother?”

A panicked Lilia called out to Galen.

She was no longer the type of person who relied solely on sight to receive information from her surroundings, but that was why she was even more flustered.

Galen’s magic still remained, but Galen himself was gone. No breathing, no heartbeat, no movement, nothing could be felt. Only the unpleasant nightmare was detected.

It’s a good thing I heard in advance that there was a ‘fun’ way to use it. If it had disappeared without a word, I would have been so scared that I would have run out of the cave right away.

Fortunately, Galen reappeared a moment later. Lilia quickly caught him as he stumbled slightly.

“be careful.”

“Thank you, Lilia. I’m still having trouble adjusting to the sensations. Fortunately, the magical power consumption is moderate… … .”

Galen closed his eyes tightly and opened them several times before returning to his usual state. Lilia asked.

“Is it concealment? If it’s so imperceptible to my senses, it’s almost perfect.”

“Huh? Oh, Hide. If you want to use it like that, then you can use it.”

“Yes? No?”

“If it was to that extent, I wouldn’t have said it was fun. I’m not an assassin, so hiding well doesn’t mean much to me.”

That’s true. A wizard who was born specializing in destruction and a master of stealth were not a good match.

Then what on earth was it? Galen smiled as he watched Lilia tilt her head.

“I think we can do it together… Let’s try. Can you stick with me for a moment?”

“yes!”

Just like when they invaded from the sky earlier, Lilia clung to me and linked arms.

Galen once again drew up his pitch-black magic.

Once she became involved, Lilia could see what had happened.

Saruk-

A pitch-black curtain covered them both. It was a curtain of darkness that was completely blocked from the outside world, impenetrable even to her senses.

But the curtain only existed for a moment, completely covering them and then immediately flowing away.

The night sky was visible.

“Huh?!”

“fizzle.”

Lilia, who had let out a dumb sound without realizing it, quickly shut her mouth. Fortunately, she didn’t make a loud noise.

I rubbed my eyes because I thought I was seeing things, but I could really see the sky. I could see the warehouse, the lights, and the shadows of the guards.

Galen gently pulled Lilia’s shoulder, who was tightly shutting her trembling mouth and sending dozens of questions with her eyes alone.

Again a pitch-black curtain covered them and flowed away.

As soon as we returned to the horse warehouse, Lilia asked.

“You just went out, right?”

“you’re right.”

“Did you… jump over space?”

“You could say that.”

Galen gave a brief explanation of his newfound magic.

A magic that perceives the darkness around you with your senses and controls it by materializing the darkness, which is originally just a state of absence of light, into magical power.

As the name Dark Fairy Tale suggests, it is a state where you become one with the darkness, and in other words, since this darkness and that darkness are all ‘me’, you can exist anywhere… that kind of feeling.

“But I’m human, so I can’t truly become one with the darkness, right?”

“Right?”

“So, by completely covering your body in darkness like a full-body armor and treating it as one lump of darkness, it worked, albeit imperfectly.”

“Well, to be honest, I don’t quite understand it. Is it okay to assume that you can move through the darkness?”

“That’s enough. Oh, you can turn the lights back on now. Just a little more gently?”

“Is this it?”

“It’s just right.”

A glowing sword, as bright as a normal oil lamp, emerged from Lilia’s hand.

Galen looked back at Nightmare, who was lying there in a daze, still under the influence of the Demonic Sound.

This time, instead of wrapping my body in darkness, I tried swinging it lightly, as if I was swinging water with a water jet.

Pfft pfft!

The shadow that had been pushed back slightly by the glowing sword turned into a sharp blade and surged forward, piercing through the nightmare without mercy.

The demon was no longer able to scream and became a tattered rag. The trembling movements of its body soon stopped.

I already thought it wasn’t a normal life form when it started to ooze black smoke instead of blood, but it was even worse when it died.

As if the darkness that had been forcibly gathered was dispersing, the entire body was distorted and melted away, disappearing.

“It’s just like I heard. They say that nightmares don’t leave behind corpses.”

Lilia spoke as she swung her sword with light. As the miracle of purification spread, the black energy disappeared as if it was being erased by an eraser.

He was a disgusting guy from start to finish. Galen’s interest, which had ended at that point in his appreciation of Nightmare, had already shifted to Dark Fairy Tales.

“Hmm, even just this amount of light is already annoying. Now I know why something that is better than gold at night is worse than silver during the day.”

“Is there a big difference?”

“Roughly… the difference between having water around and not having water when using water magic?”

“It’s huge.”

“I don’t think it would be used for attack purposes even at night. It’s not that bad, but just that much?”

One thing to remember is that Dark Tales is not a ‘newly acquired’ magic.

It should be said that the Earth’s binding has evolved into a higher concept called pitch black, and that a new application technique has been added to the lower category of pitch black.

Thanks to this, I was able to use it at level 69 from the beginning, but instead, separate magic power was not generated like when learning a completely new magic.

In simple terms, the total amount of horsepower has not increased, but the uses have increased.

If you waste your pitch-black magic on dark fairy tales, you will run out of magic power to return it to Earth.

Since its offensive performance isn’t particularly outstanding, it would be wise to just use other magic for attacks, and use pitch black only for defense or as a night-only movement skill. It’s the only magic that covers up the weakness of a weak magician, so it should be used sparingly.

“It’s not like you lacked any means of attack, brother. It’s amazing that you’ve acquired the magic of space jump, even if it’s limited! If you flash east and west and fire magic bombs, you won’t be able to move.”

“Theoretically, it might be possible at night?”

Even if it’s okay to feel dizzy every time you jump through space once you get used to it, the absolute distance you can move isn’t that far, so I don’t think Lilia’s imagination will come out well… but there’s no need to rush it.

Anyway, I found the cavalry warehouse, dealt with the nightmares, and used up a lot of magic, so it was time to go back.

The two escaped through the cave to the surface.

The clay figurines that had been standing guard around the entrance went back into the cave one by one, filling it up.

I can’t say that it was filled in as meticulously as it was when it first came out, but at least the ground shouldn’t be dug up in a suspicious way when viewed from the outside.

The guards didn’t notice anything until the land was restored in a seemingly plausible manner. They were so faithfully guarding their posts that they had no way of knowing what was quietly happening in the square.

The two people, tracing the same path they came from, returned to the place where they first landed.

[Life: Spirit: Grant]

[Spirit Creation]

The recreated wind spirit enveloped the two and lifted them into the sky.

Just as they had chosen this place as their landing point, no one could spot them taking off from a place with no lights or people around.

I can just go back to church like this―

“Brother, brother.”

It was then that Lilia quickly shook Galen’s arm, which she was holding tightly.

“yes?”

“Hey, do you see that?”

I followed the tip of Lilia’s finger and looked down at the ground… it was black.

Of course, from this height, Galen’s eyesight could only distinguish the presence or absence of lights. The moonlight, which was approaching its waning phase, made it difficult to distinguish even the outlines of buildings with their lights off.

“Why is that?”

“Don’t you remember? There was a sponsorship there.”

“boost.”

When I heard it, it was like that.

The mansion was so large that it was possible to create a small forest within the grounds, and the garden and annex were built around the forest as a fence.

The sponsorship was clearly on until just a moment ago.

Of course, Galen and Lilia spent quite some time looking for the warehouse and muttering inside it, so it’s possible that they turned off the lights and went to sleep in the meantime.

“It was at the top of Kalia. The jewel of Spirius, Atma, resides in the patronage.”

“Yes. I said that the reason I built a fence around the forest was because I don’t like meeting people.”

“But tonight, Sir Michael went to see Lord Atma.”

Is that over already? If the two of you weren’t that close, you could have just pretended to respond and sent him away, but… If that’s the case, why didn’t you just not meet him in the first place? Just like you did with Anton.

“Shall I just check briefly?”

“Yes. I feel a little uneasy.”

It wasn’t a difficult task. Galen manipulated the wind spirit to move the two people’s positions.

Soon we arrived at the sponsorship sky. Lilia’s expression, who was looking down intently, became unpleasant.

“It’s not just the lights going out. It’s the same magic you showed me, brother. A curtain of darkness. You can’t see inside at all.”

“Does it cover the entire sponsorship?”

“yes.”

“Just now, Jo Jin Nightmare said that there were four more besides me. They were working on other tasks. I guess that’s what it was.”

Galen focused his senses. He searched the surrounding space, overlapping the spiral flow of water manipulation and the newly acquired sense of Dark Fairy Tale.

It is not simply dark because it is night, but rather a pitch-black curtain is perceived to be spread out below in the shape of a dome, obscuring everything.

“The forest is so large that you can’t see inside from outside. And there’s no sign of any guards. It was supposed to be a closed space to begin with… If you cover it up like that, there’s no way you’ll know what’s going on inside. If there’s a reason to give such instructions to an evil spirit right now… … .”

“… It must be to attack Brother Michael. It won’t be quiet if the Gem Spirit and Gem Warrior join forces.”

“These guys, how are you going to handle the aftermath? Even if they don’t know about our existence, it’s not like Sir Michael came looking for us secretly.”

Even if we succeed in secretly dealing with Michael here and there, and then achieve the miraculous success of assassinating Anton as well.

The fact that Anton went to investigate the Spirius family was known to all the highest echelons of the church. It was not the kind of incident that could be dismissed as ignorant.

“Maybe I didn’t intend to take responsibility from the beginning.”

Lilia muttered, the smile wiping from her lips.

“If we limit it to combat, today is the only chance to defeat the two jewels one by one, right?”

“If we limit it to battle, then yes, that would be true, but whether we succeed or fail, our family will be ruined, right?”

“If you are a die-hard follower who values ​​the devil more than your family, then this is possible. I don’t think even Archbishop Anton would have thought it would be this serious… … .”

So, I guess he would have sent Michael away when he was invited alone. He probably didn’t know he would go out like this.

“Anyway, I need to help you.”

“Should we stop by the church? Or right away?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to do it right away? Even if it doesn’t take long, what if something happens in the meantime… …”

“I think so too. I asked you to keep an eye on the mansion, so if it gets noisy, you’ll come.”

“Are you going to cross the space again? Or I can just go through it.”

“No, I’m going to go a little loud.”

Galen smiled.

“Since they are the ones who were planning to do bad things quietly, wouldn’t they be quite flustered if a commotion broke out?”

“aha.”

That’s why both Galen and Lilia knew the best magic.

A shadow of vanity, visible only to Galen’s eyes, descended upon the veil of darkness below.

And then, as the fireworks ignited.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

A huge explosion occurred in the sky above the sponsor, blowing away the darkness.
