Looking at the second brother with a somewhat regretful expression, Miguel kicked him.

He looked at me with my hands flat and signaled that I didn't know, but he didn't seem to believe it.

The second brother, who is usually annoying, laughed meaningfully at the moment.

A person with high mana is not a person who has a large amount of magic in his body, but a person who is able to absorb a large amount of magic and circulate it.

It is said that the key to high magic power is the thickness of the magic veins and the efficiency of absorbing magic essence.

Although the mechanism of how the body absorbs magic is not known, it may be similar to cardiopulmonary function.

Candidates for the "Awakening Instrument" selected by the Knights are born with the ability to absorb large amounts of magic essence and circulate it.

The level of mana is improved through the continuous use of magic, and during the development of the body, the mana also increases.

So, I've been using magic constantly.

By the way, the depletion of mana does not mean that the magic in the body is exhausted, but that the stamina of the mana is exhausted.

Even if you can use powerful magic instantly, if you run out of stamina in battle, you can no longer cast magic.

In addition to the continuous use of magic training, there are also some rumored methods similar to those of the herb house Kalisa, such as directly eating the heart of a monster that has just been defeated.

It is said that monsters store magic essence in the form of magic stones and transport them throughout their bodies to strengthen their bodies.

The heart of the monster is close to the magic stone, and the blood containing a large amount of magic essence is transported throughout the body.

As a result, the heart of the monster contains a large amount of magic.

Eating the monster's heart can quickly absorb a large amount of magic essence and enhance the ability of circulating magic essence, but Kalisa strictly does not try it.

In the Fatimid religion, it is forbidden to eat the flesh of monsters.

It is not uncommon to eat the meat of monsters, but it must be blooded and fully cooked before it can be eaten.

For me, a person who was reincarnated in Huaxia, it felt like a conspiracy designed by the church to prevent parasites from entering the body.

I want to try it, but the point is that the monsters don't look easy to deal with.

For the fet-people who are physically inferior, even the little monster goblin is a dangerous monster.

Two years ago, I started going to the mountains alone to collect medicine.

Although you should be careful not to encounter monsters when entering the mountain, you have encountered a goblin attack once.

That day, while collecting medicine, I met three goblins.

Luckily, I noticed them before the goblins were windy, so I climbed a tree to avoid them.

The goblins were unguarded, screaming as they walked toward the tree I was on.

I was expecting them to pass by, but one of them stopped and started sniffing the surroundings.

The other two also lay on the ground and crawled forward until they reached the root of the tree I was on.

Looks like they're sensing my scent.

I hid clinging to the trunk, but one of the goblins started climbing the trunk and I had to run away.

Luckily, there was a dense forest around me, and I used my feline physical strength to jump from branch to branch and escape the pursuit.

"It's a real nuisance"

I thought I would be able to get rid of them easily, but the goblins who climbed behind the tree chased after them, and the other two chased after them from the ground.

Although the cat people are physically flexible and agile, their endurance is a concern.

If you continue like this, you may run out of stamina and become prey for the goblins.

But every time I entered the mountain, I was careful not to encounter monsters, and I never neglected to deal with them when I encountered them.

In order to break through the goblin encirclement, I quickly changed direction and jumped from the tree.

Run through the forest of bushes, run along the slope of the riverbank, and finally jump into the crevice of a large rock.

The rock was only as wide as I could barely get through, and the goblins couldn't get in.

I call it Screen Rock, and it's like a screen stuck in a slope, with a cliff on the top and extremely difficult to climb.

And because it protrudes into the river, it is only possible to make a detour along the moist vertical rock wall.

To reach the lower reaches of the river safely, the only way to get back to the river bank is to take a detour.

After getting rid of the goblins, I returned to the village along the river and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Monsters and beasts seem to be aware of the dangers of being defeated, so they rarely appear near villages.

Just in case, I found a place like Screen Rock, or I might be food for the goblins.

From the village, the mountain to the north is the screen rock, the mountain to the east has the tunnel of the Tsugi, and the mountain to the west has the charcoal hut, and I have prepared a few places to take refuge.

Since that time, I've gotten a little bigger and able to use magic, but I haven't had the confidence to defeat a goblin alone.

Although the magic of the null attribute is becoming more and more comfortable with practice, there is also a fatal drawback.

When used as a weapon, the condensed air is too light.

Even if you attack the trunk in the form of a sword, you will not be able to inflict deep wounds.

The sword itself is lightweight, and my own weight is not heavy, so the slash becomes very light.

Such a force cannot even cut through the crust and muscles, and it is difficult to inflict fatal injuries.

If it is in the shape of a spear, it may be possible to inflict a deeper wound than a sword, but it will be difficult to defeat them if you do not accurately grasp the vital points.

And goblins usually act in groups.

Three is considered a few, and many times they will come in groups, even a dozen.

Dealing with multiple goblins when you're not sure if you can defeat one on your own is crazy.

If you can't defeat them, you'll have to think about how to escape.

I'm now focusing on improving my tread technique.

The first tread was a smooth board, but I machined the surface to give it a better grip.

I also tweaked the material to add elasticity and repulsion similar to the track field.

By improving the material, I basically didn't slip, so I started training accurate stepping.

At first, I set the step, then take the step, then set the next step, and so on. But the speed at which you can walk in this way is limited.

So the next stage is to set the next step while taking one step, gradually increasing the speed.

Since stepping can also be used on ordinary walking, the practice can be done anywhere.

After practice, I was able to run with all my strength and use the tread with two feet.

I also learned how to quickly change direction in an emergency, setting up the tread recline.

Right now, I'm practicing the fastest form of a cat man, using the tread when running at full strength on all fours.

Once I got the hang of running on both legs, I was guaranteed to escape even if I encountered a goblin.

After all, if I could leap to a height of about ten meters above the ground with my stepping, the goblins wouldn't be able to reach me.

The four-legged running is a training for future monsters that are more powerful.

Once I get that in my senses, they won't try to catch me unless it's a flying monster.

However, despite the ability to escape, the increase in attack power is still an open question.
