Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 70
Only Noblemtl
It was natural for Lillia to shine.
I’m not talking about looks. Of course, looks were like that too.
Even in normal times, the priest’s eyes glow softly due to the stigmata, and light accompanies them when performing other miracles. The miracle of radiance even goes so far as to create weapons out of light.
Having been with her for over half a year, I must have seen the light of her divine power hundreds of times.
But Galen had never seen a form like this, burning ‘like flames’ and enveloping the entire body.
‘No, no. I’ve seen it.’
A memory from a few months ago suddenly flashed through my mind.
In the church of Belpass, when Roald destroys the horsemen.
A light that seemed to envelop the entire necklace and burn it down.
The seventh miracle of the priest, blessing.
“Haa, haa······.”
Lilia, who had returned to her original state, took a deep breath.
It was a rare occurrence for a priest who never got tired thanks to the miracle of vitality.
Either all of his energy was used up, or the momentary burden was just too much. One of the two.
Lilia is not foolish enough to waste her power thoughtlessly in a situation where there are enemies all around her.
If so, it would be the latter, if we combine it with the word ‘experiment’.
This means that it is an unexplored area that even she herself has not yet properly explored.
Galen asked, doubtfully.
“Is that… a blessing?”
“I think so!”
Lilia answered with a bashful smile.
“Since when?”
“Is this the first time you’ve been truly successful? I’ll tell you more about it later!”
“Well, there are a lot of interruptions when it comes to conversation.”
Galen laughed and waved his arms as he heard the exact same thing he had said.
Pufufufu!
The waves swirled around the two people, mercilessly blowing away the approaching clay figurines and creating space.
A new glowing sword grew from Lilia’s hand.
“What would you roughly think of the new miracle?”
“Well, the amplification of the effects of all the other miracles? That was the maximum just now!”
“How long does it last?”
“Maximum amplification consumes too much power, and moderate amplification… won’t you know when you try it?”
“Then would you like to try it now?”
“Right now?”
“There is still some room for that.”
Galen glanced around and envisioned a magical trajectory.
Dozens of water cannons were fired at the clay figurines that were approaching again.
Pavababababak!
The clutter was all blown away by the force of the water stream. Only a few thick ones remained.
Choaaaaaaah!
Outside, the waves swirled, forming a boundary of rapids, as if creating a small arena with a wall of water.
“Is this good enough?”
“Thank you, brother!”
Lilia smiled and rushed towards the remaining dolls.
The first target is the nearest giant clay doll.
Crunch! Crunch!
Every time the sword of light touched it, parts of its large body were cut off here and there.
Originally, Lilia’s light sword was a power that was easy to cut with normal swords, required some effort with giant swords, and was not effective against special swords.
But now, the giant was being cut as easily as a normal cut.
Basically, as the level of the priest increases, the effectiveness of all miracles increases. Even for the same miracle of the body, the effectiveness was vastly different when used by a priest, a bishop, or an archbishop.
Lillia, who was sixth, has moved up to seventh, so she has become stronger even from her normal state.
Plus, if you use the seventh miracle yourself.
Papat!
Although it wasn’t as fierce as before, a moderately swaying flame enveloped Lilia.
Rather than saying it’s a dazzling, flashing light, it’s more like the way energy flows around characters’ bodies in comics and other places. Like a translucent flame.
Lillia, who was wearing the miracle of blessing, split the thick waist of the giant clay doll in half in one breath.
“At this point… let’s increase the output a little more….”
Lilia muttered while feeling the sensation in her fingertips and then targeted her next target.
Phew!
A special clay doll with half of its shield crumpled after being hit by Galen in advance.
Lilia rushed at the staggering one. The flames surrounding her body grew a little thicker.
Quickly regain your balance and dodge the special attack by swinging your good arm sharply.
Kagakak!
Instead, he brought his arm down. The special arm came off with a sound like a solid object being torn apart.
It seemed that Lilia was alone in reproducing the special skills that brothers Alon and Veron had used while attacking together.
Of course, the brothers continued to fight against other dolls from time to time, and Lilia also started off with Galen’s help, so that alone could not be the standard for superiority.
It was certain that Lillia, whose attack power was lacking, had successfully compensated for her own weakness.
“I think I have a rough idea of what the amplification level of the Golden Warrior is!”
Lilia, who had just succeeded in defeating the special agent, spoke brightly.
“How is your stamina?”
“Is it okay for a short fight? Honestly, this also consumes quite a bit of energy, so I don’t think it’ll be possible to fight for a long time.”
“If not, wouldn’t the Steelwall family fighting over there be shedding tears?”
Originally, priests could take on various supporting roles, but their direct combat power was lower than that of warriors of the same level.
If using the miracle of blessing allowed you to perform the same functions as a warrior, wouldn’t that be too unfair from the warrior’s perspective?
The price for forcibly increasing output was the sudden decrease in consumption that had to be accepted.
“But it’s okay right now!”
“Well, there’s no need to consider a long-term battle. Me too.”
Even without considering the circumstances of Liliana and the other members of the expedition, Galen had to start looking back on his own abilities.
It’s true that the slow dolls couldn’t even approach properly and were just getting beaten.
The magical power of the water flow manipulation that was being consumed in real time to maintain the phenomenon was also considerable.
Since they were originally hard creatures, it was necessary to use much more water and hit them much harder than when catching a person or a normal evil species to be effective.
Even though it may seem like he’s just beating them up unilaterally, he’s actually hitting them with all his heart. He’s not just playing around.
[ Water Flow Manipulation Lv.63 ]
[ 1% progress to next level ]
I’ve also leveled up by one, so I shouldn’t be too greedy and should finish it up slowly before I lose strength.
Puhwaaaaak!
The torrent that was forming the arena gathered forward and then shot forward.
The water pouring down like a waterfall cleared the front completely.
“Let’s go. Let’s really finish this.”
“yes!”
The spirit that had flowed all the way to me as if it had been swept away by a waterfall, started to run wild before Galen arrived, destroying the clay dolls around him.
Galen excitedly pumped water out of the surrounding wet ground and returned it to the surrounding area.
The water spear is as thick as if it were carved from a single log, and the water hammer is as big as if it were carved from a rock.
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!
Large, beautiful blobs of water reminiscent of siege weapons crushed the clay figurines with a heavy sound.
I never laid a hand on a guy more than once.
If it was done in one go, it would have been finished in one go, but if not, it would have been in a half-broken state and was left hanging.
Crunch! Crunch!
Because it was completely destroyed and stopped forever by Lilia moving quickly left and right behind Galen.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even if the clay dolls that guarded the captain came out, they were no different from other dolls anyway.
Getting hit by the spirit and breaking, getting hit by water and breaking, getting hit by Lilia and breaking were all the same.
Finally, only the captain remained.
To be exact, the clay dolls were still swarming around, but they were all taken care of around the leader.
“Let’s start by exploring!”
Lillia, engulfed in platinum flames, jumped out first.
Although the spear from earlier had half of its head shattered, unfortunately the non-living dummy captain was still functioning normally.
Kak! Kak!
Even with the blessing on Lilia’s movements, the captain reacted with surprising agility.
But it was exactly as expected.
Golems, regular dolls, giant dolls, special dolls, and even captain dolls.
The rule that higher-level entities simply become faster and stronger was not deviated from this rule either.
Even though he was the captain, his lower body was still slow, and even though his upper body was fast, it was no match for this.
“Thanks to the blessing, I was able to cut the special sword well… but I was immediately stopped by the captain.”
After fighting several times, Lilia started to cry. The leader was so strong that it felt like she had gone back to before she had awakened the blessing.
Galen, who was swinging his water gun to block the approach of other dolls, smiled bitterly.
“But it’s not like it can’t be broken at all.”
“That’s true, but… I don’t think I could have done it alone. It’s fortunate that you’re here with me, brother.”
There is a difference in the degree of force concentrated between penetrating a point and cutting a wide surface.
When using the Miracle of Blessing at full power, would it be possible to kill the captain within the time limit? Lilia was skeptical.
But she is not alone.
Lilia, with a determined expression on her face, took a step back for a moment to catch her breath.
Papapapat!
It was engulfed in flames that burned as fiercely as the javelin throw earlier.
She had disappeared, leaving behind only an afterimage, and was already digging into the captain’s left side.
Kwajik!
It seemed as if it had been struck with an axe rather than a sword. The captain’s doll’s side was shattered like a rock.
It was impossible to do that because of its size. The captain ignored the blow and immediately swung his upper body to strike Lilia.
Boohoo!
Lilia was already gone. She had fallen back and was digging into the space that the captain’s arm had swept through.
Kwajik!
The Whi Kwang Sword struck the same spot again. The crack was a little deeper than before.
While the captain was just wasting air, Lilia stabbed the captain’s torso six times.
The doll, which was much thicker than a maple tree, had more than a third of its waist cut off. It looked like a valley had been carved into the rock cliff.
But in the end, it wasn’t completely cut off.
“Haak, haak, haak······.”
The price for temporarily demonstrating a destructive power stronger than that of the Golden Warrior came back as a full backlash.
The blessing of maximum output alone consumed a huge amount of holy power, and in order to withstand the oncoming recoil, the miracles of strength, healing, and vitality were simultaneously exerted to their extremes, devouring holy power as well.
“Are you okay, Lilia?”
“Ah, yes······.”
Galen, who had come closer, caught her as she started to stumble slightly. Lilia barely nodded.
“This is the first time I’ve had so much energy squeezed out in such a short period of time… I’m okay now.”
“You don’t have to push yourself too hard.”
“I feel like I always give my brother a hard time······.”
“Don’t think like that, Lilia is doing her part. She’s doing that now too.”
Lillia, who was about to ask if it was okay to just stay still, soon realized that there was no need to ask.
This was because the water giant appeared again to protect them.
Galen used his magic power of spirit creation, which had recovered slightly while breaking through here, to increase the size of the spirit again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as he appeared, the water giant struck the captain harshly.
Even though the body of the doll that was hit was intact, the captain’s body began to tilt little by little because the floor kept sinking.
“The special could be broken by the spirit alone, but the captain is stronger… It would be better to use a more effective method than simply beating him. Thanks to Lilia, things have become easier.”
“yes?”
“I made a crack in the middle of your body. Well, it’s far from the exploration team and it’s so noisy that you won’t notice.”
Galen, who was grinning, looked at the captain doll beyond the water giant.
A realm of shadow visible only to his eyes settled over the crack that Lilia had split open.
That brief moment when the water giant stopped punching.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
The heat of vanity, which had the nature of explosions heightened to the extreme rather than fireworks, exploded inside the captain’s body.
Almost simultaneously, a powerful water jet slammed down hard on the water giant’s fist.
Kwajijijijik!
As the expanding flames and crushing water pressure meet in one place.
The upper body of the captain in the middle was shattered and thrown out.
