Magic Warrior Chapter 44 (Patreon)

The Saints and Demons

Last night it was Claire's turn to sleep alone. Does this mean they will rotate until another bed is made?

...I can't help but feel like I'm going to suffocate in the morning.

I mean, Claire didn't say anything about it, but is it just me? Or that it was just the right size for Rilfana's cuddle pillow?

That day, Claire decided to stay home and read a book on witchcraft. Yesterday, she also brought her adventurers' guild card to consult with the sisters about how to study, and she wanted to start learning attack magic little by little.

Guild cards, so versatile for flexibility in the village.

Rilfana was enthusiastic about remodeling her maid's uniform, continuing on from yesterday.

I continued to silently shoot ice needles near our secret base.

I kept shooting at the same target, because if I kept shooting at the same thing, I would end up with tatters, so I kept shooting at different targets, and suddenly the number of icicle icicles shot out increased to four.

"Oh, it went up!"

I wondered if it was possible to reduce the number of icicles. I found out that it is possible to shoot out even three icicles by reducing the magic power at the time of use.

I should probably shoot each of the available skills 100 times to get as many as possible to level 2....

Magic Warrior has a huge amount of magic available to it, which makes my head hurt when I think about the future.

Right now, the magic available is the basic attack magic of 4 attributes: Fireball, Ice Needle, Stone Bullet, and Wind Blade.

The unusual thing about SeveChro compared to other games is that these Attack Magics will continue to be used throughout the game. The power increases with INT intelligence and skill level, and the higher level magic is more magic-consuming and has different characteristics, such as ranged and tracking. Therefore, there are many opportunities to use basic magic, which consumes less magic and can be shot at a single target.

In contrast, many of the melee-type attack skills are purely upwardly compatible, and it was considered more efficient to use the most powerful skill at hand for stamina.

The other three magic skills available were Acceleration, Strength Boost, and Agility Boost, which I used when fighting Bloody Wolf. Yesterday, the only magic I continued to use for verification purposes was Clay Wall and Flash, a magic that momentarily takes away an opponent's vision.

Perhaps it was the fact that in SeveChro, you needed to be at least level 80 to become a top level player, but at this point, the number of usable spells is quite small, and I can't use anything that is classified as recovery magic.

Looking around, I saw that the trees and the ground were in a terrible state.

The bark of the trees was peeled off and scratched by the ice needle. The ground, which had been flat, was uneven and bumpy, and in some places the ice had melted into a mess. I don't think the tree will die if it is this bad, but I think I went a little too far...

Even ice needles, which have a narrow target area, have a large impact on the surroundings when used repeatedly, so we need to think about raising the level of offensive magic.

I think it would be better to level up Acceleration and Strength Boost while practicing swordsmanship.

"Big Sister, what are you doing?"

I heard a rustling sound, and then Claire and Rilfana arrived. They were close to our secret hideout and could see us from there.

Claire was holding a staff and Rilfana had a dagger on her hip.

"Hey, I'm just practicing a little magic."

"Is that all it takes?"

It's been a while since I've seen Claire's eyes. Ugh.

"Mina-sama is a Magic Warrior after all...?"

Rilfana was mumbling something with her head down, but I couldn't make it out.

"Well, okay, but Big Sister was trying something with magic, wasn't she? I'd like to know what you found out."

Claire, as expected, seemed to have some idea of what I was doing.

"Well, I was testing to see if magic gets stronger just by shooting random magic in the area. As you can see, it's hard to do attack magic in the forest."

"I see. I wanted to practice fire magic..."

"It's a living tree, so it won't burn easily, but if it does burn, I don't think it's a good idea. Why can't I use anything but fire magic?"

"Sister saw that I'm good at fire magic! She said it's easier to learn if I start with the attribute I'm good at first."

Does that mean there's a way to find out what my attributes are?

"Hmm, it's dangerous, so I'll have to talk to my dad about offensive magic first."

"Muuu."

"Claire, I think it's a good idea to keep using life magic or healing to increase your magic power, try to do it about a hundred times each."

"Oh, you're going to use that much?

"I've shot mine over a thousand times.

"Oh yeah... I'll try my best! I'll try my best!

Claire was surprised that I had used magic 100 times, but when I pointed to the tattered area and told her how many times I had shot it, she agreed.

"Rilfana can use magic too, right?"

"Uh, yeah. Maybe a little special, but..."

"I'd like to take a look at one."

"Okay."

Rilfana readied herself with no hands and chanted the spell.

"Stone Bullet."

"Wind Blade."

The two chants sounded overlapping. A stone pellet landed on a nearby tree, and at the same time, a wind blade sliced through the trunk.

--Double chanting.

I had a feeling that this was similar to the effect of "Saints and Demons," a unique skill of the Trickster, the highest level of a special type of job. Or rather, if it follows SeveChro's skill, there is no other profession that can do double chanting.

It is possible, though, that another profession or a skill that allows double chanting has been added in reality.

A special type is a profession that is derived from the most advanced profession, and it is a bit confusing when you consider the details of the system, as it inherits some of the abilities of the original most advanced profession and becomes a new profession.

In SeveChro, there were probably more people who stayed at the highest level than at any other.

The weakness of the Trickster is that the unique skill "Saints and Demons" limits the number of attack and some magic spells that must be cast at the same time as their opposing spells, right?

It doubles the number of moves in a single chant, but it also doubles the magic power consumed, and against most enemies, it's like releasing a weak and resistant attribute at the same time, so one can't damage the other very effectively. Yes, the damage is not doubled. Also, against monsters that absorb attributes, the amount of recovery will be greater, and the magic of the weak attribute itself may not be able to be shot.

Tricksters are not good at dealing with incompatible opponents, so I was never around people I knew who preferred to play solo or in small parties. Because of this, I don't remember many details about the Trickster.

"I got a decent shot!"

"...What was that?"

Claire was pouting beside a delighted Rilfana.

Rilfana said that when she was studying magic while she was a noble, she could not shoot any magic at all. After practicing for a while and never succeeding, she was judged to have no magical background and her magical studies were discontinued. Maybe the teacher only let him shoot one attribute, so it was treated as a failure and was a dud.

I'll have to write down as many details of the trickster as I can remember when I get back.

It was a little early, but I had more things I wanted to summarize, so I returned home with Claire and Rilfana when they left.

I thought it would be good to use the magic buff for myself wherever I could.

Rilfana said she was going back to sewing and stayed in the living room.

When you enter the front door of our house, you will see a living room with a fireplace, where we have meals and the whole family is happy.

There was also a table and tools for sewing and woodworking.

"Big Sister, what's that writing? Is that another code?"

"Uhhh, don't tell anyone."

As I was adding details to my SeveChro memo in Japanese, Claire, who was supposed to be reading a book on the bed, peeked in.

When she peeked at me before, she seemed to think that she could read it somehow, but as expected, she would not be able to read Japanese using hiragana, katakana, and kanji. There are so many different types of characters that it would take time to even come up with the rules.

The reason I use Japanese is not only to hide my writing, but also because I am used to writing in Japanese. When I try to write in this language, I have to pull out the letters from my memory of the original Mina, and it takes me a little longer. In Japanese, it would be like having a Japanese syllabary chart next to you and having to write the letters while looking at it.

I don't have any trouble when I read this language because I can read it smoothly.

After looking at the Japanese memo for a while, Claire seemed to give up and went back to reading.
