Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 67



Only Noblemtl

I wish it was just a fuss, but in times like this, it fits so perfectly.

Veron, who had set out to boost the expedition team’s momentum but ended up becoming an experiment subject, felt this fact firsthand.

“It’s so unnecessarily hard······!”

A warrior who has reached the Golden Realm can unleash destructive power unlike ever before.

To put it bluntly, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the Silver Warrior was just a strong and fast bronze warrior.

The golden warrior was actually capable of splitting rock and cutting through metal with his sword.

No matter how hard a clay doll is as a rock, it will be split in two when touched by gold.

I should have done that.

Couldn’t do that.

Kagakak!

The blade that had been digging into the arm of the clay doll with great momentum stops again before advancing much.

If it had been a human, it would have been a fairly serious wound that would have drawn a lot of blood, but for the clay doll, it was just a partial break.

The fact that it was able to withstand the golden sword strikes so many times was enough to call it a special.

“Beron! Step back!”

Alon shouted urgently.

“To this guy―”

Veron, who had decided that he had to destroy this doll for the sake of his pride, had to stop what he was saying and back away.

He had forgotten for a moment because his vision was narrow, but he was rushing to cut down a giant clay doll when he was suddenly interrupted by a special clay doll that popped out.

Whether he was fighting the special or not, the other clay dolls behind the special kept walking and did not respect the one-on-one confrontation.

Boooow!

The fist of the giant clay doll that was originally the target struck the spot where Veron’s upper body had been just before.

As if intersecting with that attack, the shield of the special clay doll also struck Veron.

Both of them managed to avoid it by a hair’s breadth, but it sent chills down their spines.

“I said, step back!”

“Tch!”

Alon shouted again and Veron clicked his tongue and stepped back.

Heavy feet are a common trait among earth monsters, and the special didn’t chase after Veron.

Just keep up with the other clay dolls and slowly start walking again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It’s heavy, but slower than a normal person walking.

But since Veron hadn’t rushed that far, the distance wasn’t that far.

It was said that there was not even much time to discuss countermeasures.

“The speed wasn’t all that fast. A top-tier Baek Eun would be able to react.”

“What’s the point of reacting? There’s no way to cause damage. In the end, isn’t it the same as saying that we have to step in and stop it?”

“···yes.”

“It would have been better if he had only strong attack power, but why does he have to be someone who only boasts defensive power?”

Alon’s expression was distorted as he exchanged quick words with Veron.

It was common for monsters as valuable as gold to appear in the ruins. That’s why the minimum number of troops in an expedition was one gold.

It was a monster that couldn’t even be called pure gold, so if it had appeared ‘normally’, there wouldn’t have been any problem. You could just beat it leisurely and break it.

The problem was that the current situation was not normal at all.

Even though it’s just a chin-up, a normal clay doll that can hear the sound of a hundred is mixed with a giant clay doll that is twice as powerful and is rushing in like a pack of dogs.

Even if you just come like that, it will be difficult because there are so many of them.

What if there’s a special feature included?

In a situation where a minority had to fight against a majority, it would have been a disaster if the leadership, the core of the force, had been held back.

If there were only one or two specials, I wouldn’t know―

“Not even one, not even one.”

The corners of Sachet’s eyes twitched as he muttered.

If you look closely, you can clearly tell the special clay dolls from regular clay dolls.

If a clay doll was just a rough human figure, a special clay doll was carved with such precision that it felt like it could be sold for money.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of such guys scattered throughout the leading ranks of the clay doll army.

It was also unknown how much more there was behind where the light could not reach.

Even if what was immediately visible were all there was, that alone would already be more than the leaders of the expedition team.

“It’s like a crazy relic.”

Akanksha, who spat out the words as if chewing them, looked back at Sachet.

The bitter-looking Sachet shook his head from side to side. His expression seemed to say, “There’s nothing I can do.”

Akanksha, his lips tightly shut, spoke to the brothers Alon and Veron.

“There’s really no time left. You don’t plan on dying, do you? We agreed.”

“What the heck!”

“······.”

Veron glared, but his apparent hostility was weaker than usual. He knew it in his head, even if he didn’t want to admit it in his heart.

Alon was more rational, needless to say. He was the one who knew how to judge what was best in the current situation.

It was heartbreaking to see the treasure, which had been halved from the start, reduced again because I decided to share it with the earth fairy.

If we do not borrow the power of the church here, we will not be able to save even that. It will not be a simple loss, but total destruction.

The earth fairy is in the same position, so she must be urging him.

“···after.”

Alon let out a heavy sigh and turned to Galen.

“viewer.”

“yes.”

“I would like to request your support. Officially.”

“I’ll be happy to help.”

Galen, who had been watching with his arms folded until then, nodded immediately.

I wanted to tell him that he had made up his mind so quickly, but on the other hand, I was glad that he had decided now.

There was still some distance between them and the leading clay dolls. It would have been a bit more troublesome if the friendly and enemy forces had mixed up.

Galen, who had uncrossed his arms, was holding a spirit in his left hand that had transformed into a round ball.

Whoosh!

Galen threw the spirit low like an underthrow pitcher.

The lump of water that had not been flying for a long time fell to the ground and quickly grew in size.

Swish!

As if stretching out a body that had been curled up all the way.

A water giant with only an upper body stretched out on the dirt floor.

“······!”

The explorers were astonished.

Galen, who had been intentionally excluded from combat, only showed a few grenades during the exploration.

I also made a water golem, but it was ultimately just a projectile that could shoot water bullets, and since it was inside a passageway, I didn’t make it too big. It was bigger than a person, though.

Just seeing that he could easily deal with clay dolls gave him the impression that he was a ‘water magician with some skills’, but that was about it.

The water giant, which revealed its true form in a space free of spatial constraints, was showing overwhelming majesty just by its size.

Even the giant clay figures that were considered threatening in size were seen as nothing more than tiny creatures in front of the water giant.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Hooooooooooo!

The giant’s arms, which had naturally spread outward as he revealed himself, soon swung horizontally.

A huge column of water came crashing down at a rapid pace, which was like a local tsunami.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Just like bowling pins hit by a bowling ball are swept away with a thud.

All the clay figurines in the path of the giant’s right arm were blown away into a mess.

Whether it’s a regular clay doll, a giant clay doll, or a special clay doll. Equally fair.

In return for the merciless blow, the giant’s right arm exploded, turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​water, but the amount of water stored in the spirit’s body was plentiful.

“······Heh heh.”

Alon let out a slightly weak laugh as he watched the giant regenerating his arm without any trouble.

“I thought it was a very dangerous situation until just a moment ago. But now it suddenly feels safe.”

“That’s not wrong, but you shouldn’t let your guard down too much.”

Akanksha expressed both admiration and concern.

“I experienced it myself.”

“···Have you ever tried that?”

“I’ve sparred a few times. It hurt, but I was able to endure it. Considering the defensive power of the special clay doll······.”

“It wouldn’t have been a big hit. It just got pushed back by the weight. If it was a living thing, it would have felt pain, but it didn’t.”

Galen continued speaking calmly, admitting it coolly.

“So just hit it until it breaks. It’ll work on other clay dolls anyway.”

“That’s true. Even if we can’t catch the special agent, if we just take care of the rest, the threat will be greatly reduced.”

“Lilia and I will block the front. You four, take care of the left and right.”

“Well, please.”

“We’ll block the right side!”

The clay figurines were rushing in from three directions, as if they were surrounding the exploration team that had their backs turned to the treasure vault.

The front was temporarily swept away by the water giant just now, but the left and right were not.

As soon as the conclusion was reached, the humans and the earth elves quickly split into two.

“You two, please stay out of the way and stay on guard.”

Galen gave instructions to two priests.

“They’re coming from the front, but aren’t they the type of guys that would pop up from the ground all of a sudden? It would be a problem if they were attacked from the inside.”

“I will watch you closely!”

“But this time, I’m worried that I’ll just be watching too much······.”

“It would be better to heal the wounded later than to act as a single silver warrior right now. Isn’t that the role of a priest?”

The reason Galen asked for the veteran priests to be supported was because they were capable of responding to emergencies on their own, not to be used as frontline combat personnel.

Galen dismissed the priest’s shameless response and sent the two to the safety of the center.

Now only Lilia was left by Galen’s side. She smiled.

“Brother, you still look relaxed?”

“Well, I have some free time, for now.”

Galen shrugged.

Since each magic is a unique system, it does not share magical power with other magic.

It’s a beginner level Earthbound, so you can consider it non-existent.

Water manipulation, spirit creation, and vanity flames all have their own unique magical powers, and all three are of the golden realm.

Galen’s actual power was comparable to that of three golden wizards working together.

Even though I didn’t fight much on my way here, I only used a little bit of the magic power of Spirit Creation.

Since you have strength left, it’s only natural that you’ll be relaxed.

“If the magic power runs out and the clay dolls keep coming out infinitely, then I plan to get impatient.”

“Isn’t it still a long way to go?”

“Fortunately.”

“Then, can I ask you one favor while you have free time?”

“As much as you want.”

“Then please give me just one special clay doll!”

“yes?”

“I told you this once before······.”

Lilia looked around with her voice trailing off, glanced at the right-hand elf camp that had just entered the battle, and whispered.

“Do you remember when you said you felt a tingling sensation while sparring with Akanksha?”

“Oh, I remember.”

When Galen succeeded in acquiring the Earthbind, he whined that he only felt it and it was over.

“I felt this way while breaking a few clay dolls earlier… They seem to have some similarities to earth fairies?”

“is it so?”

“It’s slow, heavy, and sturdy. Made with ancient magic? But it fights like a warrior. It doesn’t use the power of the earth… but it feels similar!”

“So do you think it will help?”

“Yes! Since it’s a real fight, I can just stab you without any pressure! So, can you give me just one?”

“It’s not even a big request, so why are you being so cautious?”

Galen smiled and pointed ahead.

The water giant swung his arm again.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Meanwhile, the clay dolls that had been pushing in were once again crushed and bounced away.

I don’t know if it was the one that flew away earlier, but in any case, they left behind only one special clay doll.

“Be careful of the mud.”

“thank you!”

Lilia, with a bright smile on her face, ran forward swinging her sword.

Galen, who was grumbling, glanced at the status window.

I don’t know if it’s because I started to manipulate a lot of clay dolls at once, or because I started hitting strong objects like the special ones.

[ ???? ]

[ Progress until first acquisition ???% ]

The text in the status window, which had been filled with question marks since coming into contact with the air of the ruins, has changed to be a little more readable.

Perhaps, Lilia isn’t the only one who feels this way.
