With almost all the best of my ability, I was able to destroy the witch with Akai's fatal arrow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But I didn't think it was something to be happy about, and through this battle, I learned about the inadequacy of my own strength, and the diversity of magic.

"Do you want to go back・・・・・・ practice for a while and then come out?" I asked Akai that my shortcomings in this battle were too obvious -- there was no effective means of attack.

The old witch was just like me, but at least they still had a bottle to throw away!

I just have a small fireball and a series of uses of the fireball extension・・・・・・

"Let's talk about this later, let's go to the witch's cabin first." Akai changed the topic, even if this kind of thing is said now, it's useless, strength or something has to be accumulated bit by bit.

"Hmm." I nodded, and was about to take a step, but I fell to my knees again.

"I'll go, isn't the effect of the medicine over yet?" My body, weakened by the Potion of Weakness, has not yet recovered, and I can barely lift my strength now.

Akai helped me to my feet and walked towards the hut.

"Thank you."

"Where." Akai looked around vigilantly and replied, "It's a swamp here, and although the witch is dead, I don't know if there will be any large beasts, so it's safer for us to go to the cabin for the night." ”

"Hmm."

The swamps are full of mud pools, and these waterholes and mud pools provide some of the best habitats for wildlife and provide a great perspective from a sneak attack.

Sosuo!

As Akai walked with me on his feet, a gray water snake came out of the water grass coldly.

Akai's footsteps stopped, and his free hand held an iron sword to block the water snake's fatal blow.

Rumble!

I reacted faster than Akai, and almost subconsciously raised my hand to hit the snake's head with a fireball.

The battle with the witch seemed like a long one, but it didn't take a fraction of a second, but it was so dangerous that I was still nervous, so the hapless water snake stole the chicken and sent the rice back into the water with a fireball spell.

As for whether to die or not, it depends on the will of God.

After my bombardment, the environment around me and Akai suddenly calmed down a lot, and it seemed that seeing that we were not easy to mess with, the animals that had originally wanted to take advantage of the fire had subsided.

After a short walk, Akai helped me into the cabin.

"Huhu, it's still so heavy." A few minutes have passed, and the effect of the medicine is still working on me, and I am also a new mage, and the attack method does not rely on movement, even if I can't act, I can manipulate the magic book to release magic.

I sat down on a random wall, and Akai was beside me observing the setup in the cabin.

The witch's home was very simple, so simple that there was not even a bed.

"Hey, there's a box?" Akai looked over, and a box next to the window was very conspicuous, but Akai didn't open it, but sat on the edge of the wall to rest like me.

"Star, it's out." I said, looking out the window at the sky.

"Huh?" Akai followed my words and looked out the window at the sky with me, "yes, the stars are out." ”

We can't get tired of looking at the sky of this square world.

The beautiful starry sky gives us infinite charm, even if these stars are square, they have a unique flavor for us.

"Today it seems that there are only stars, not the moon." Akai stood up and looked around the night sky outside the window.

Since it had just fallen at night, we should have seen it through the window if there was a moon, but today it seems that there is none.

"Hehe, oh, the body is not heavy." I smiled, and suddenly I noticed that my body was much lighter, and my strength was surging.

"yes, it's finally done." Akai also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, let's go see what the witch left behind." With that, I pulled Akai and walked towards the box.

"Yo Xi, it's time to open the box! Is the teenager ready? Clapping my hands, I slowly opened the box, and the unique panel of the box appeared in front of my eyes, with all kinds of miscellaneous things inside.

"Look what?!" Akai leaned over and joined me to inspect the witch's chest.

The contents of the chest were a mess, but we found a lot of important things, such as the magic learning scrolls that the witch had used before.

【Frozen Path】

Runes: purple, purple, yellow, purple, green

Spell Description: Freeze your feet and create an ice path in water or magma. Note: It only exists on the lava for a brief moment before it melts.

【Ice Arrow】

Runes: Purple, colorless, white, purple

Spell description: Summons an ice arrow to damage the opponent and freeze and slow down

【Ice Rune】

Runes: White, Purple, Blue, Black, White

Introduction: Summons an ice rune on the ground, and the creature it steps on will take freezing damage and slow down

I carefully packed these precious magic scrolls into my backpack, ready to take them home and study them carefully. Although I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the [Spell Reflection] magic that the witch bounced my [Insect Swarm Technique] at that time, I was content to be able to obtain these ice-based magics.

The power of a mage is not all about the power of magic, although this is only a criterion. But the power of the mage lies in the series of effects created by the interaction of a wide variety of magics with infinite possibilities.

I'm convinced of that.

In addition to the scrolls that allowed me to learn magic, Akai and I also found some bottles and jars.

"Red water." Akai picked up a glass bottle filled with a red potion and looked at it carefully.

"I guess the healing potion that the witch drank when she was injured," he said. I thought back to the effect of the witch after drinking the potion, "At that time, the witch had a broken left arm, and after drinking this potion, it actually grew back, which is really creepy." ”

"Help! Put away the good stuff. "Akai stuffed two bottles of healing potions into my bag, and then put the remaining two bottles in my backpack.

Finally, we looked at what appeared to be a wooden stick in the corner of the box.

I took it out, and it was a staff.

【Apprentice Staff・Lightning Chain】

In the long history of magic, mages have finally mastered the power of allowing people who have not learned magic to perform magic even after countless attempts, that is, a certain kind of magic is injected into a staff in a special way, and the person holding the staff wields the staff to perform the magic stored in the staff by wielding the staff.

However, this method is not without cost, and the lifespan of the staff is undoubtedly very short, basically breaking after a few uses, and then turning into an ordinary wooden stick.

The staff of apprenticeship only lasted five times.

I played with the staff in my hand, and it was a meter and a half long, just enough for me to use as a crutch.

The rest of the box was rubbish, such as leaves, bowls, etc., so we didn't look at it anymore.

This time we have gained a lot.

I took out the workbench I had brought with me, made two wooden doors and reinstalled the door of the destroyed wooden house, and Akai and I spread it out in the wooden house for the night.
