"O all-consuming flame, with my body and my hands, the blazing fire manifests here—the Burning Stream."
Ilotti is now able to freely master intermediate-level magic.
but.
This happened a month ago. Although she has stopped making progress, it has not affected her love for magic in the slightest.
He comes to the courtyard with me every day to practice.
This is probably due to the total amount of magic.
It seems that she can only use mid-level magic at present.
Although I don't know the specific reason, it would be more appropriate to call it a bottleneck period in the language of the original world.
I've been stuck in a bottleneck for almost a year now, and it's the same at the Croggs' house. Is it too early for me to get involved with Emperor-level magic?
It seems that simply increasing the total amount of magic power is not enough; a certain amount of training is essential.
"O all-consuming flame, with my body, with my hands, let the flames shine forth..."
Bang……
Just as I was deep in thought, Ilotti suddenly fainted and fell heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.
My heart skipped a beat.
"Ilodi, Ilodi! What's wrong?"
Without thinking twice, I ran toward Ilotti.
It's been so long since this happened that I can't even remember.
The most recent one?
It was probably when Ilodi first came into contact with magic.
"Damage depleted? No, that can't be! Ilotti's total magic power is far more than that! What's going on?"
I helped Ilotti up from the ground.
After examining her, they found that her breathing was even and her complexion was normal, not like someone who had exhausted her magic.
In my extreme anxiety, I suddenly thought of Faith Hill.
When our gaze fell upon her, she remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised. Could it be that... she's already used to it?
but.
Look at Faith Hill, she looks completely calm.
My anxiety subsided; had I been worrying too much?
perhaps.
Ilotti really only fainted because she was exhausted from magic.
...
I held Ilotti in my arms for about ten minutes.
Ilotti then slowly woke up.
She frowned, looked at me strangely, and then saw Leon with a worried expression on his face.
“Ilotti! You…”
"Leon...how dare you..."
Before I could finish speaking, a loud shout suddenly exploded in my ear, followed by a punch to my face that sent me flying half a meter away.
"...?"
When I came to my senses and looked at Ilotti, I found her glaring at me fiercely, her face flushed and her eyes full of anger.
"Hey! What's going on now?"
I was taken aback. Had my actions just now frightened her?
Regardless, let's clarify things first to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Ilotti? What's wrong? I was just thinking..."
I wanted to step forward and explain, but my legs wouldn't obey me, and I couldn't take a single step.
etc.
This face... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?
"Fisshill!"
"exist"
"Cut him down!"
Upon hearing that word, I abruptly turned my gaze toward Faith Hill.
She slightly opened her mouth and said something.
I didn't hear what he said, and then he actually drew the sword from his waist and charged at me!
"No way! You're serious..."
Faith Hill was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, she was right in front of me, and she slashed at my neck with her sword.
"die……"
This word suddenly filled my mind.
I subconsciously released all my magic power, and gusts of wind surged from my body. Then, I fired a fireball that struck the gusts of wind, creating an explosive shockwave!
My body instinctively moved backward.
but.
Also affected by the blast wave, it was thrown several meters away and slid on the ground for a few meters before barely managing to stand up.
But Faith Hill only staggered a few steps in the blast before regaining her balance and continuing her attack on me...
"What's going on now?"
I didn't have time to think about it.
I watched the figure rushing towards me.
"The blast wave had no effect whatsoever."
but.
Faith Hill, without creating distance, he has no chance of winning.
Can.
She seemed more at ease, even though she was also affected by the blast wave.
I knew I had to avoid this situation immediately, otherwise...
She absolutely could not withstand Fisshill's sword strike.
"I can't retreat, Faithhill is way too fast for me."
"What do we do? What do we do? Respond quickly, Leon!"
"hateful……"
I can't think of any coping strategy at all.
It was then that I realized a fatal problem: I had no combat experience whatsoever, neither in my past nor now.
They saw Faith Hill approaching.
I could only do what I had just done, using a combination of wind and fire magic to create an explosive shockwave around myself, thus creating distance between the two of us.
but.
It seems I was overthinking it. This time, I was hit hard by the blast wave and my body was sent flying backward.
In contrast, Faith Hill simply walked straight through the blast wave without any reaction.
The same tactics won't work on Facehill, I know that perfectly well.
Can.
It was completely unaffected; is this the Sword King's strength?
"ah……"
I don't know why, but I suddenly became hysterical.
She unleashed a barrage of attacks at Fisshill with both hands, including fireballs, water bullets, and flying stones—you name it.
However, it was all in vain!
Faith Hill's longsword continued its relentless slash toward my neck, leaving me no chance to dodge.
I felt a heat in my lower body, and a liquid flowed down my crotch.
Of course I know what this is...
However, it doesn't matter anymore...
"Bang……"
A tremendous impact struck my neck, and I felt my eyes roll back before I could see anything around me again...
