Chapter 24: The First Battle

After three days of practicing against the earth elemental who couldn't fight back and scolded and scolded back, and by the way, I also vented my anger at being controlled by the system, so I took Ellie and threw Bobby, that is, the mutated lava monster (by the way, this lava monster is male) back into the temple from the outside world, and we came to the Fullmetal Alchemy Guild again.

"Nolon, look how much fun Bobby is having with it!"

Even after only three days of birth, the little mutated lava behemoth was already free to move. It was now tumbling and swimming in the pool of molten steel in front of us, taking a few gulps from time to time. Seeing its lively and cute appearance, Ellie couldn't wait to jump in and swim with it. It was still my best efforts and persuasion that made her dispel this terrible thought. (Lori in molten steel, it's crazy)

Now, I'm holding Ellie and watching Bobbi play in the molten steel pool. Ellie saw that I was absent-minded and hit my chin with my index finger several times before I came to my senses: "Ellie, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"It's Noron, what's wrong with you! When you came back yesterday Noron, you always looked like you were so ghostly, were you attacked with spiritual magic outside? ”

Is it really that obvious? I scratched my head and straightened my expression, "Ellie, you said that you can now be seen as a LV25 mystic, right?" ”

Ellie looked at me with a serious face, restrained her smile, and nodded seriously.

"So, Ellie, have you ever had a rigorous, regulated combat training?"

Ellie immediately understood what I was going to do, patted her little steamed bun and said, "No problem, Noron, do you want me to train your combat ability?" Hehe, even if I don't use divine power, my combat power is one of the best among the underage Titans of my generation! ”

Ellie jumped out of my arms and stood in front of me with a proud smile: "Wrap it up on me, Noron, we have seven days to spare, we will go to the Barren Cliff Mountains in these seven days, and I will train you to become a qualified Titan Mage in these seven days." ”

Seeing Ellie's upright chest and swearing, I couldn't help but touch her little head, turned my head to see that Poppy was gone, and only a few bubbles appeared from time to time in a pool of steel water, and hugged Ellie in my arms again: "Okay, then I'll ask Ellie to teach me how to fight as a Titan mage!" ”

Where I couldn't see, Ellie grinned and smiled a little evilly.

――――――――――I'm the dividing line of training――――――――――――

"Haha, Noron, hurry up, hurry up!" Ellie sat on my shoulder, waving her hands happily.

"Love, Ellie, are you sure, are you sure this training works?" I was panting and sweating as I ran around an unknown corner of the Barren Cliff Mountains.

"Of course it works!" Ellie grinned and looked at me who was tired and half dead, but still running, dodging, and smashing the stone pillars that appeared from time to time: "In a real battle, no one will give the mage time to cast spells." The enemy's first target is the mages with high output and low defense. So, the first thing every good mage must learn is how to defend themselves on the chaotic battlefield. ”

I narrowly avoided a stone pillar that suddenly appeared in front of me, and listened to Ellie continue: "But Noron, you have a strong physique, even if you are hit by a stone pillar, it is nothing, so I will speed up your training process a little, so that you can avoid the elusive stone pillars while smashing them accurately." ”

So I continued silently until I smashed the last small pillar hidden in the shadow of a large stone pillar, and then I ended today's training and lay on the ground breathing hard.

It's been four days since Poppy took her second steel shower. For four days, I was trained by Ellie in all sorts of weird ways.

From day one, Ellie sat on my shoulders and kept adding weight to my load. But when I saw her grab my ears and shout 'Rush, Noron', I always felt that something was wrong.

The next day, Ellie asked me to move and cast spells, and every now and then she would pull my hair and brow to disturb me. However, my mana manipulation ability has reached the peak of a mortal mage, so although I was a little uncomfortable at first, I soon became familiar and able to skillfully cast spells on the move.

On the third day, Ellie trained me in Titan Skills. She asked me to perform the eight fixed poses of the Titan Technique and circled around me a few times, correcting all the problems that I hadn't noticed myself. Then I maintained these eight positions throughout the day, keeping my muscles in mind, and was harassed by Ellie in various ways.

On the fourth day, Ellie asked me to cast spells frantically on the empty space, and no magic could remain in my body. This is to allow the body to adapt to the state of empty demons, and shorten the stiffness time of a few seconds after the magic in the mage's body is completely gone.

Today is the fifth day, and I have just finished training to dodge attacks and cast spells, and after a hasty shower, I got into the Traveler's tent I bought, and fell asleep tired.

On the other side, Ellie saw that for some reason she suddenly asked for combat training, and I was working very hard these days, and I had fallen asleep, silently let go of Bobby, let it play on its own, and lay down next to me.

―――――――――― a new day――――――――――――――――――

"Good morning, Noron!" I opened my eyes, which were still a little hazy because I was too tired yesterday, and the first thing I saw was Ellie, who was wearing a pink princess dress and standing outside the tent to greet me.

"Good morning, Ellie, what are we training for today?" I quickly got up and dressed, washed up and walked over to Ellie.

"Today we are going to the depths of the mountain range for actual combat training, and find a monster that is neither very strong nor too weak, such as an elite earth element of LV25."

Fighting? It's been almost a month since I came to the other world, and it's finally time for a real battle.

"And when are we leaving?" I put away my towel and toothbrush and turned my back to Ellie to hide my excitement and uneasiness.

"Now!" Ellie laughed and suddenly jumped on my shoulder without warning, but with the experience of the past few days, I was only carried forward by this momentum two steps and caught her steadily.

Having Ellie set up the barrier, hiding our tent, and throwing it into the temple during Bobby's protest, I led Ellie into the depths of the Cliff Mountains,

In the past few days, because we have been carrying Bobby, many low-level Warcraft have fled in fear when they smell it, and we have chosen a remote corner of the mountain, and we have not met intermediate-level Warcraft, but we have encountered a few wild wolves that do not feel the pressure of high-level Warcraft, but they were all solved by the excited Bobby in a few clicks.

Poppy is now a meter long, and the protrusion on her back can be seen as a pair of spikes. Ellie said that by the time he finished his last steel bath, he would have grown to 2.5 meters long, which was not as impressive as the average fifteen-meter length of an adult lava behemoth, but it already had a little combat ability.

Walking in the treacherous wilderness of the mountains is not a pleasant task. The Barren Cliff Mountains are obviously mountain terrain, with a lot of sharp rocks on the ground, which occasionally reach the soles of your feet and make you feel very uncomfortable. Occasionally, a few snakes that look highly venomous will be scared away by you. Although the venom of ordinary snakes and beasts no longer has any effect on me, I can't help but feel a little frightened after being an otaku for more than 20 years.

As luck would have been for the day, after eating dry food at noon, Ellie and I were about to take a break when we heard the footsteps of large creatures with 'knock', 'knock'. Under Ellie's guidance, I quietly touched it and found that it turned out to be a thick-backed rhinoceros with LV25.

Thick-backed Rhino LV25: A melee type intermediate magical beast with a blood volume between 120-150, it has very strong strength and defensive capabilities, even some high-level magical beasts are unwilling to face the first thick-backed rhinoceros that is charging. It will condense the wind bomb in its mouth and release it, and it is incredibly powerful.

(Speed & Power, that's me!) οΌ‰

"Wow, we were lucky enough to find a good opponent so quickly." Ellie patted me on the thigh, "Go, Nolon, I'm optimistic about you, huh?" ”

The rhinoceros was leisurely grazing, flicking its tail from time to time, driving away the mosquitoes that circled its huge hips, ready to rush up and hit it twice. It didn't notice that it was being targeted, and was enjoying the sun and food.

Well, let this thick-backed rhinoceros, who is both lucky and unfortunate, be the first monster to die at my hands!

Following Ellie's instructions, I quickly applied myself to the protection and power of the earth, and used the roar of the earth to rush towards the rhinoceros from behind it with lightning speed.

The thick-backed rhinoceros, which was enjoying lunch and thinking about which rhino girl to find in the evening, noticed something coming towards it from behind, but before it could turn around, I rode on it.

This rhinoceros is angry, old cow, in my life, I have never been the only one who rides a girl, how can I ever be ridden? If you don't trample on the unknown thing on my back today, I won't ride a girl again!

I rode on it, and the rhinoceros went on a rampage, sometimes making a sharp stop and trying to throw me off, but I clung to the hairs on both sides of its abdomen, and it didn't succeed.

Okay, so the next step should be to cast spells and fight for a one-hit kill. But in the first battle, I was still shaken by the rhinoceros running wildly, and I tried to build a spell model several times, but unfortunately failed. In the end, I took a longsword that glowed purple, and it was clearly a legendary weapon, and I stabbed the rhinoceros in the head to stop it.

As for Ellie? Long after I was led all the way by this angry rhinoceros, I stood aside, and my stomach hurt from laughter.

PS: I have a fever, and today I only have one more than three thousand words.
