Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 52



Only Noblemtl

Ghost of the Sea (8)

Spirits do not have the ability to move on their own.

At least that’s what Redna’s spirit did. She used it by placing it on her hand and making it breathe fire.

Galen’s spirit, which he acquired by stealing Redna’s spirit creation, also moved around a little bit as it changed its appearance.

Fortunately, Galen had the ability to manipulate water and was able to control the spirit manually thanks to its body being made of water.

Likewise, ghosts also had the ability to manipulate water, so they could control giants made of water.

The ghost’s goal is, of course, to attack Galen.

However, confusion arose when the spirit, who was absolutely obedient to its master, refused to attack Galen, despite not having the ability to move on its own.

At that moment, something unusual happened.

[ Spirit Creation Lv.?? ]

[ Progress to next level ???% ]

A status window that wasn’t even called popped up and appeared before Galen’s eyes.

It was understandable to be confused because there was a question mark instead of a normal number.

Galen could instinctively understand the reason.

‘The creation of the spirits… is shaking.’

What should I say about this?

Should we say that the unique sense of spirit creation for handling spirits is being distorted?

But it wasn’t a bad direction.

It’s a bit precarious, but I feel like it’s expanding.

‘What if that ghost is also a type of spirit created by magic? What if it’s a similar type and is affected by something?’

I couldn’t figure out the answer.

But as the ghost struggled, it was clear that the spirit creation was gradually opening its eyes.

I was so absorbed in feeling the changes in my senses that I didn’t even hear what Lilia was saying.

Lilia was anxious, not knowing exactly what was going on, but the ghost’s tantrum was nothing to worry about in the first place.

Didn’t Galen have the upper hand in terms of magical output?

How can a ghost win when it can’t even fully display its insufficient power while clashing with the spirits?

When conflicting orders come down, it is natural to follow the one that is more powerful.

Kwajik!

The result was completely different from what the pirates had hoped for. Instead of attacking Galen, the giant attacked the pirate ship and destroyed its mast with one blow.

“Eww!”

The rigging attached to the mast was forcibly cut off, turning into weapons that swept across the deck. The pirates were swept away.

“Now there is no way to escape.”

Galen said leisurely.

“Shall we go and finish it up?”

“yes!”

“Lord Lilia, please use your strength. My remaining magic power is very limited.”

The water giant may have had an impact, but manipulating its size required too much magical power.

It’s a technique that only a ghost with overflowing magical powers would be able to use, and Galen wouldn’t have bothered to do it if there were no spirits.

It was too much trouble and inefficient to draw seawater, shape it into a giant, and then maintain it in battle.

Of course, to be honest, the remaining magic power wasn’t that precarious.

Is it really necessary to scrape the floor? Let’s leave some spares.

Since Galen had fought the ghosts almost entirely on his own, Lilia’s psychic powers should have been more than enough.

“I was thinking the same thing even if you didn’t say anything! I’m sorry for leaving it up to you so much.”

“Well, it can’t be helped because it’s over the sea. It would have been different on land.”

No matter how fast Lilia is, she can’t run on water. There is a battlefield that suits each person.

The small ship moved forward leisurely. The deck of the pirate ship was close enough for Galen to see.

“huh?”

At that moment, Lilia and Galen nodded amicably.

“What is it? Is there some internal strife?”

Galen’s eyes caught sight of a sword fight on the pirate ship. Lilia, whose eyesight was much better than Galen’s, was able to see more clearly.

“The killer’s equipment is much better! And the number… six. There were six men in the seven-person team, right?”

“So those guys are killing their subordinates right now? Surely they aren’t trying to convert now.”

“Could that be an act of sacrifice?”

“Oh, that could be the case.”

Galen, who had been mumbling, quickly snickered and glanced at the giant.

“It doesn’t seem to have much effect though.”

The giant was still trembling. He tried to move, but was held tightly by the water current.

Even if that is truly a sacrifice, it seems that the output does not increase any further.

A small ship arrived next to the pirate ship where such senseless slaughter was taking place.

There was no need to raise the ship on the deck, which was already a mess. Lilia stepped onto the side of the ship and jumped. The ship tilted slightly.

She landed lightly on the pirate ship and drew her sword. The sword on her waist had been lost when she rolled earlier, but there were still two more swords on her back.

“Ugh!”

“Rain, damn it······.”

The few pirates who still survived were attacked from both sides and fell in an instant.

Now there are only seven people left on deck: Lilia and six men.

“It’s the Seven-Man Team, right?”

The men didn’t answer Lilia’s question. It didn’t matter. Their identities were obvious anyway.

The men, who had been winking at each other and looking determined, soon rushed forward at once.

“Taaaat!”

A six-on-one fight broke out.

The six tried to surround Lilia, and she fought while thoroughly avoiding them.

It was because the opponent’s skills had not been confirmed yet.

Chaeng! Chaeng! Chaeng!

Although it seemed precarious at first glance, Lilia was perfectly blocking the attacks of six people.

Even though the attack was coming in with precision like gears, he escaped by finding the gap between the gears.

‘It’s about a hundred. At best.’

Meanwhile, Galen, who had leisurely climbed onto the pirate ship, muttered his feelings to himself as he watched the battle between the seven men.

The Seven have no way of knowing whether he will join the battle or not.

Of course, you know how scary an undisturbed wizard is.

However, seeing as he is too eager to deal with Lilia, let alone target Galen who has boarded the ship, it seems that the way he is showing now is not to hide his strength intentionally.

Well, if they were all at the gold level, there would have been no need to use cavalry. They could have just gone to any city and planted a flag, and a new noble family would have been born.

But just in case, Galen shouted.

“Can I help you?”

“Yes? Are you in a hurry?”

“No, not at all.”

The ghost was still squirming and the spirit creation was still shaking. The longer the fight went on, the better.

“Then I’ll take it slow!”

Lilia answered cheerfully. Does that mean she can control the speed at will?

Her answer made the six people more impatient and their attacks became more fierce, but Lilia’s defense and evasion were not shaken at all.

‘I think I would have done well if I had chosen the path of a warrior instead of a priest.’

As time passed, it was the men who were at a disadvantage. Compared to them, who were getting tired as they attacked with all their might, Lilia had infinite stamina thanks to the miracle of vitality.

The term “tight fight” means, in other words, that it will break even at the slightest crack.

Lilia’s sword passed over the shoulder of the man who had slowed down a little due to exhaustion.

“Huh!”

Lilia spun around and slashed at other swords that were trying to take advantage of the gap, blocking them with a difference of just a sheet of paper.

Bam!

He cut another man’s waist with the blade that was still spinning. His side was torn open and blood flowed out.

Once the balance began to crumble, it began to tilt rapidly.

It was a vicious cycle of getting hurt, slowing down, and getting hurt more.

in the end.

Crunch!

It starts with a man with a large cut on his neck falling down, bleeding profusely.

The remaining ones fell down one by one.

Until all six of them had fallen, the ghost could not leave the giant.

‘I guess you can’t let go of your obsession until the very end.’

I wonder what it would have been like if I had taken the ghost out earlier and used a water pillar attack.

Not only can men get caught up in this, but we’ve already seen that the attack doesn’t work.

Rather, it might have been his intention to somehow wrest control of the giant and make a last-ditch effort.

But the gamble was a failure. Galen showed no sign of opening until the very end, and in the end the ghost was unable to do anything.

Lilia ran into the cabin after clearing out all the intruders. Galen also walked in that direction.

Kkudangtang!

There was a sound like something breaking, and after a while, Lilia reappeared.

In the hand that wasn’t holding the sword, a woman who had passed out was being dragged along, limp and limp.

She must be around 30 years old. She doesn’t look like she’s dressed up in any special way, but she’s pretty. Just looking at her quietly closed eyes, you wouldn’t have guessed she was a magic user.

“I don’t think he’s a warrior.”

“I easily subdued him, and after roughly massaging his body and confirming that it wasn’t strong,” said Lilia.

“There’s no way he’s a priest. He’s either a wizard or a commoner.”

“The horse soldier will take that necklace.”

The necklace that was visible outside the woman’s clothes contained a large, blood-red gem, and an eerie light was writhing inside the gem. Anyone who saw it would find it suspicious.

“Should I just take it to the archdiocese? I don’t know exactly how to handle this.”

“Okay, but do you know how to stop this from working?”

“I thought it would be fine if the user didn’t use it. Is it because it’s still attached?”

Lilia pulled hard at the string of her necklace. It snapped with a snap.

It was the moment she pulled the necklace up.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

The water giant screamed. To be exact, it was the scream of a ghost that had been mixed with the giant. The two people looked at the giant in surprise.

The turbid giant became clean at an astonishing speed. The black ink that seemed to burst out of the giant’s body raced across the water at a terrifying speed.

In an instant, the ghost arrived at the pirate ship, climbed up the side of the ship, and slid across the deck.

“Eww?!”

Lilia reflexively created a flash of light and slammed it into the ground. Galen swung the water.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

The ghost with the sword stuck in it screamed and writhed again.

But it only lasted a moment. Even after being struck by Galen’s magic, he staggered and did not stop moving.

I was sucked towards the jewel of the necklace Lilia was holding. The blood-red jewel turned completely black.

That was the end of it.

“Ugh.”

Lilia suddenly started to cry.

“This makes me feel really bad just holding it.”

“You are a priest, so you are at odds with the cavalry. What do you have to say?”

Galen searched through the cabin and found a bag. He stuffed it with clothes and other stuff like that and handed it to Lilia. Lilia’s expression became somewhat more relaxed as she wrapped the bag tightly and carried it.

“By the way, are you still maintaining the giant? Aren’t you having a hard time?”

“I have to clean it up now. Just a moment.”

As Galen spoke, the giant’s size slowly decreased.

As the ghost left, the sense of spirit creation quickly regained stability.

The moment when all the changes are over and everything is back to its proper place.

“Umm······.”

Galen let out a faint groan.

He took a deep breath and exhaled, regaining his balance as his body almost swayed. As the temporary dizziness quickly subsided, his head became clearer.

‘The nature of magic has changed.’

The magic power of water manipulation and the magic power of the Vanity Flame remained the same, but the magic power of spirit creation changed. It felt like the color had changed a bit.

[Spirit Creation Lv.50]

[ 1% progress to next level ]

The status window where the question mark disappeared had gone up 5 levels at once.

Exactly level 50. Spirit creation has also reached the golden level.

However, since the level could originally be raised if given time, the increase was not shocking even though it was large.

The decisive change was the change in the magic of spirit creation itself. It seemed that this was also the reason why the nature of magical power changed.

“······.”

Galen gave a command to the spirit, which had shrunk to the size of a child’s fist.

The spirit that was submerged in the water quickly slid towards the pirate ship. The spirit climbed up the side of the wet ship and onto the deck, rolling all the way to Galen.

Moving the spirits at will was something Galen had been doing naturally up until now.

Just now, he didn’t use any water manipulation at all. Instead, his spirit creation magic wore out.

The appearance the spirit showed was very similar to the appearance of the ghost that had just been absorbed by the magician.

“···Did you see and learn?”
