Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 68



Only Noblemtl

The battle between the living and the animate reached its climax.

Alon swung his sword at the forefront of the human exploration force defending the left flank.

Kak!

The blade that cut through the shoulder of the custom-made clay doll as if it were a saw came out with an unpleasant sound.

Paying no attention, the special swung his other arm fiercely, but Alon had already left the attack range as if he had expected it.

Instead of dodging narrowly, he deliberately avoided the attack by a wide margin. He quickly turned around to create some distance and swung his sword.

Crunch! Crunch!

Two nearby clay figurines were torn in half almost simultaneously.

At that moment, a giant clay doll was aiming for Alon’s back, trying to strike his arm.

Kagagak!

The giant’s waist split in half and its movements stopped.

Veron, the one who swung his sword from behind, passed right by and aimed for the special agent who was fighting Alon.

“Ugh!”

While Veron was doing that, Alon cut down another giant clay doll.

The brothers’ breathing was in perfect sync.

Even if you come from a prestigious family, you will never reach gold if you don’t have talent.

Although Galen and Lilia are extremely unusual cases, Alon and Veron were also considered geniuses when they were young.

Regardless of personality, his abilities are outstanding. The weaknesses of the special clay dolls have already been known for a long time.

The special is strong but slow. So, even though it may be able to withstand a head-on confrontation with its defensive capabilities, it cannot keep up with its brother’s movements.

So instead of letting the special forces hold their feet, they hold the special forces’ feet and go around destroying the giant and regular clay dolls.

There was nothing I could do about some of them leaking out.

“Block to the left!”

“Come out to the side!”

The Baek Euns, who worked together as a team, easily dealt with a few dolls that were naturally leaking without having to force them to stop. They trained together regularly, so they worked well together.

Then, there comes a moment of confusion in the ranks of clay dolls.

The brothers rushed towards the special forces from the left and right.

The slow special couldn’t defend both sides, so it only targeted one side, but if you knew you were going to be attacked, it was easy to avoid.

Shh! Kagak!

While Alon was blocking the special attack, Veron’s sword passed through the special’s arm.

Even if it doesn’t bleed or anything like a human, its fighting power is bound to be weakened because its shape has collapsed.

If you keep cutting it back whenever you get the chance,

Kuung!

It was also possible to knock it down.

This is already the fourth special clay doll I’ve made in this way.

Because they moved so diligently, their physical strength was second to none and their air power was greatly consumed, but in return, the defense line was still strong, so it was a worthwhile deal.

Meanwhile, the Earth Fairy Exploration Team defending the right side had similar results.

Even though the methods were completely opposite.

If the human fighting style is dynamic, then the earth elf’s fighting style is static.

They built a solid defensive line, nailed to the spot, and waited for the clay dolls to approach before beating them down.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Even if a clay doll hits you, you just get hit. The power of the earth protects your body, so even though it hurts, you don’t get seriously hurt.

Rather, the arm of the clay doll that was being hit broke, and when the earth fairy hit it, it broke again. In the end, only the clay doll was hurt.

Even if you go to the top, the structure is the same.

Rather, the special was faster and beat up Sachet and Akanksha indiscriminately.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The two of them didn’t care and just kept hitting each other with their fists.

Compared to dolls of the same class, the Earth Fairy has the advantage in strength, weight, and durability.

Except for the fact that they are not living beings and therefore cannot feel pain, I would say that the Earth Elves are more compatible.

“Phew.”

Sachet took a deep breath as he stood before the horribly shattered remains of a custom-made clay doll.

Not far away, Akanksha, who had also succeeded in destroying the special, grimaced.

“Ugh, my whole body hurts.”

After defeating the two fairies and the special net, they also defeated more than ten giants, and the regular ones were not even counted.

It was a great feat. However, it was necessary to take into account the fact that the magical power consumption was high because the power of the earth had to be used continuously.

“If I hadn’t asked for help, I would have been in real trouble······.”

Akanksha’s muttering gaze turned forward.

The fight, which the leaders of the expedition team had expected to be a fierce battle, was going much more smoothly than expected.

I’m not saying it wasn’t intense. It was intense. It just wasn’t as brutal.

The expedition team had no deaths, let alone serious injuries. There were several light injuries, but if they quickly retreated, they could receive treatment from the priests.

Akanksha knew very well who it was thanks to.

A water magician who blocks one of the three sides, front and left and right, but in reality, he blocks almost half of the area by himself.

Phew!

Even from a little distance away, a huge column of water is clearly visible, swinging like a whip.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The water giant mercilessly attacked the same spot as if it had met its enemy.

With each collision, water splashed everywhere and the dirt became sloppy.

Perhaps what’s hanging there is a specially made clay doll.

I didn’t even want to imagine what the doll that was being beaten would look like.

“It wasn’t like that when we sparred······.”

Well, if he had done that in Dalian, it would have meant that he really wanted to kill me.

Didn’t you say that since you know that one hit won’t do it, you should just hit it until it breaks?

It was even scarier when I actually put it into practice.

I don’t know exactly what the situation was at the front, but looking at the situation, it seemed like the number of clay dolls that she and Sachette had knocked down combined would be much higher than the number that Galen had knocked down alone.

“What on earth is this person like?”

Perhaps the human explorers on the other side are thinking the same thing.

Akanksha, who was looking at the water giant with tired eyes, soon turned his gaze towards the clay dolls approaching.

The second hand of the battle that had stopped for a moment began to move again.

*

The water giant, who had been striking down without mercy, suddenly stopped.

As soon as Galen realized that the clay doll had turned back to clay, he immediately withdrew his magic.

[ Spirit Creation Lv.57 ]

[ 1% progress to next level ]

Newly acquired experience points barely filled up the progress bar, adding numbers to the levels.

Galen smiled, realizing the sensation of expansion.

‘The special is definitely the real deal.’

The spirit creation that was in the late 54s at the time of entering the ruins became level 57. It was a rapid growth that I had not experienced in a long time.

Thanks to killing almost all the incoming clay dolls with just spirits, I received a lot of experience points for spirit creation.

The experience of the regular clay doll wasn’t too bad, and the giant clay doll was okay, but the key was the special clay doll.

This time, the one Galen caught was the sixth.

‘The special was able to catch it by simultaneously manipulating the water flow.’

Among the thoughts that Akanksha had while looking at the water giant, only one, ‘It wasn’t like that when you were with me’, was the exact truth.

It has been confirmed through training that attacks that purely use the spirit alone cannot hit her.

Galen spared no expense in investing even water manipulation into the special clay doll that was truly a force to be reckoned with in terms of defense.

The special effects and everything were crushed by the punches that were much faster and more powerful than the spirit moving alone, literally beating him to death.

The rest was sufficient without having to go that far.

Tuaaaang!

A large grenade that flew like a cannonball hit a giant clay doll that was walking towards it from behind.

As the giant, which had been destroyed by a single blow, staggered, another blow struck. The giant fell before it could even withstand two blows.

‘Who would have thought that my magic would go so well with him?’

Every time the water giant leaped, water would splash everywhere, and as this continued, the area in front had become almost like a swamp.

For some reason, even the clay dolls became weak.

My body feels heavy, but I don’t know if it’s because everywhere I step is mud, or if it’s because there’s too much water mixed in with the soil.

It felt duller and more sluggish than when we first met.

It didn’t mean that it would melt so slowly that it was noticeable… but it was clear that it would break more easily than before. Galen, who was blowing water with the same force, knew best.

There was a reason why Galen alone was raising almost as much as the combined total of the left and right.

‘However, the magical power of spirit creation is now reaching its limit······.’

It wasn’t Galen himself who was worried, but the other leaders.

Even if he covers the widest area, his magical power is so weak that the remaining magical power or power of others will not be sufficient.

It’s true that you’ve caught a lot of dolls, but what if there are still a lot left?

‘···I guess we should discuss it.’

Just hold on to that for now.

Galen put aside his worries for a moment as he watched the seventh special agent walking towards him. He had to eat up the experience points.

Tuaang! Tuaang!

After wiping out the other small dolls in the area with a few rounds of the collected magic bullets.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The special was made into a pretty mess with the water manipulation punch.

It was nothing new since it was work I had been doing until now. I also gained experience without any problems.

That was the moment.

“Ugh?!”

Without any warning.

My senses were violently distorted.

Galen staggered in a splitting pain. He barely managed to keep his balance as he fell to one knee.

“Brother?!”

I thought I heard Lilia’s voice from somewhere far away, but I didn’t have the presence of mind to pay attention.

‘what······.’

The status window blinked wildly in my shaking vision. It turned on and off like a candle in the wind.

[ ?saturday?? ]

[ Progress until first acquisition 1??% ]

An unknown sensation that was too faint to understand when I only smelled the air of the ruins.

It prickled my brain like the pain that comes all at once as anesthesia wears off.

Even in his dazed state, Galen was barely aware of the situation.

‘The feeling of learning a new magic.’

As was the case with water manipulation, as was the case with the creation of spirits, as was the case with the heatwave of vanity, and as was the case with the binding of the earth.

The process of establishing a new, unique sense of magic that did not exist before.

The only huge difference is that while up until now it was just a brief dizziness, this time it was almost to the point of fainting.

[Territorial March]

[ 100% progress until first acquisition ]

The moment when the question marks in the status window were erased one by one and finally became complete.

“Ugh!”

Galen let out all his blocked breath at once. He regained consciousness in an instant.

His sagging body was supported by Lilia, half-embracing her.

“Are you okay?!”

“it’s okay······.”

Galen took a deep breath and braced himself. His feet touched the floor and he straightened up.

“Isn’t that too much?”

Lilia asked with a half-sobbing expression. Galen answered with a bitter smile.

“It’s not that I’m trying too hard. No, it’s true that I’m trying too hard······.”

“That’s right!”

“Well… what should I say? It was like an explosion of inspiration. I guess I just lacked self-control.”

Galen glanced at the status window, which had become calm as if nothing had happened.

[ Territorial March Lv.1 ]

[ 1% progress to next level ]

Unlike when he stole magic from other wizards, this was something that happened when he acquired magic without intending to. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that it exploded on its own.

“It’s really okay now.”

“Really······?”

“Really. But wasn’t Lilia dealing with a clay doll just a moment ago?”

“I just cut it down and came back! My brother was about to collapse!”

In the spot where Lilia had been fighting until just before, a specially made clay doll was left abandoned, broken in half.

I briefly wondered if it was split too neatly, but that wasn’t the issue at the moment.

“Thanks to you, I wasn’t hurt. Anyway… I should go and consult with him.”

“Huh? What all of a sudden?”

Galen gently smiled at Lilia, who was looking at him with concern, wondering if he was still sick, and pointed to the clay dolls in front of him.

“To finish those.”
