Or, rather than âconsideringâ I should say âIâve already startedâ. Because the chapters are a bit longer than Sword-bro chapters, Iâm working on them bit by bit â but Sword-bro is honestly much easier to translate in my opinion.
It must have something to do with the fact that this writing style doesnât have a lot of long sentences, so itâs easier on the machines⊠Well, anyways.
As you might have noticed, the shading on the sight was brightened up a bit, as to make the works easier to read on Mobile devices. If possible, Iâd like people who use said devices to take a look at This Post and tell me whether thereâs a good enough difference. My eyes arenât bleeding with the current Shade, so itâs fine⊠But making it any lighterâll be painful, I think.
Moving on from that, hereâs another chapter!
â»Â â»Â â»
Itâs the day after I killed the Lesser Wyvern.
I rose to the sky and looked for the Pedestal; because itâs daytime, I could see farther, so I thought Iâd have better luck finding it.
My suspicion turns out true, and I discover the pedestal a considerable distance away. It was terrible of me to leave it so far behind, so I planned to return to the pedestal immediately.
ăUryaaăŒ!ă
With that, I flew to the pedestal in great haste. I encountered Demonic Beasts along the way, but I pierced through all of their Magic Stones immediately; they were delicious. For me, who experienced heated combat with the Wyvern last night, lower leveled Demonic Beasts have stopped trying to confront me.
The farther away from the Pedestal, the stronger the Demonic Beasts seem to become. Conversely, the Demonic Beasts are weaker the more one approaches the Pedestal.
Surely, this is caused by the strange Magic which spreads out of the Pedestal. Perhaps it was set that way as a sort of Barrier. Because I had been using MP a lot recently, I was able to get that sort of feeling from the area. I donât know who made such a thing, though. I wonder if it was my creator?
I arrived before even 1 hour passed, thanks to charging straight with all my power. In the end, moving during the day is the most efficient.
Although I was only gone for one night, I missed this place. It feels comfortable to be in the presence of the Barrier.
ăUooăŒ! Pedestal! Iâve returned!ă
With that, I dive into the pedestal.
*Supo*Â (Âč)
Mm, with this I can relax. Itâs very calming inside of the Pedestal. After all, this place is my home. This Pedestal is a space of healing.
ăFuu. At last I can take a breathăă
For a while, I spend time simply looking up at the clouds. Ahh, I feel at ease.
Taking breaks is quite enjoyable.
ăFufufufuâŠâŠÂ AăŒhahahaha! At last! Iâm no longer just a simple sword!ă(ÂČ)
Yes, because I have Magic.
During yesterdayâs Goblin extermination, I obtained the Fire Magic Skill from a Goblin Mage. THE long-awaited Magic.
ăSet Fire Magic.ă (Âł)
Preparations complete.
I focus my consciousness. Iâve used Skills many times, so I should be able to use Magic one way or another. Thatâs what I thought, but â
ăNothingâs happening.ă
I canât get the feeling of how to use Magic. I groaned and finished. Thatâs all.
ăWhy? Is it a lack of Magic Power? No, that Goblin Mage didnât seem to have more than meâŠâŠ For the time being, Iâll try setting all the Mageâs Skills.ă
I set Minerology, Leadership, Staff Arts, War Staff Arts, Fire Magic, MGC â Low, and Magic Manipulation, and then prayed for success. With that, a number of images appeared.
Fire ă»Arrow and Fire ă»Shield? Then, Iâll choose Fireă»Arrow.
If itâs going to be my first spell, it has to be Attack Magic!
ăOhh, the image of the incantation appeared.ă
I try reading the incantation, which floated into my mind, out loud. As I did so, I could feel Magic Power flow from my blade.
ăFire ă»ArrowăŒ!ă
*Shuon* (âŽ)
An arrow made out of flame is produced in the air in response to my shout.
ăOh, Ohhh?ă
The finished flame arrow then flies like a genuine arrow into the distance. The Magic was a success.
ăAăŒhahaha! Success!ă
The Fire Arrowâs power was only to the degree that it burnt some ground. It itâs like that, then it would be 100 times better to just rush in myself â but itâs different. The important thing is that I was able to use Magic all on my own.
ăThen, onto the next! Fire ă»Shield!ă
A small buckler of flame is produced.
ăHmm. But how strong is it?ă
I use Telekinesis to throw a stone. Iâll test it using power only to that degree. Itâs thrown at about 130ă/hour? The Shield seems to prevent it. Then I throw the 2nd, and then the 3rd.
Well, it seems that it can only be used to that degree.
The Shield managed to prevent the third shot, then disappeared. It might be able to prevent arrows, but itâs doubtful it would be effective against swords and axes.
After that, I played with magic for a short while. The MP consumption seems to be ~5 for both spells, so if I were to improve them, continuous use should be possible.
ăFireă»Arrow! Fireă»Arrow! HyahhoăŒ!ă
I calmed down after ~30 minutes passed. A couple of shrubs may have caught on fire, but that might just be my imagination.
ăFuu. That reminds me, I still have to properly inspect these Skills.ă
Iâll be setting the Skills needed to use Magic, so first I remove any Skills that seem unrelated.
The ones remaining were: Staff Arts, War Staff Arts, Fire Magic, MGC â Low, and Magic Manipulation.
ăThese two donât seem that related.ă
I removed Staff Arts and War Staff Arts.
ăFire ă»Arrow!ă
It seemed to activate without a problem. Next, I should exclude MGC â Low.
Again, I could still use Magic. Next, Magic Manipulation. At that point, I only had it and Fire Magic set.
ăIt canât be used.ă
I set Magic Manipulation once again.
ăFire ă»Arrow.ă
*Shuon*
It seems that Magic Manipulation is required to use Magic. Iâll have to leave it on from now on; that way, I wonât have to be worried if I get another skill with a similar name to Fire Magic.
ăMaybe I should also set Willpower Manipulation? Magic Manipulation is needed for Magic, so I wonder what Willpower Manipulation is used for?ă
The Skills that I received from the previous owner of Willpower Manipulation â the Goblin King â are: Coercion, Sword Arts, Swordplay, Leadership, Raise Morale, Shield Arts, Provocation, Throwing Techniques, Ambition, and Willpower Manipulation.
It it Swordplay? No, thereâs no new techniques related to the Sword. â Whatâs this?
After inspecting Sword Arts, I found that it allowed usage of techniques with Willpower Manipulation. Sword techniques seem to consume MP for Warriors to use.
Thereâs Double ă»Slash, which creates a twin attack, and Heavy ă»Slash, which is something like a certain-kill technique. These are also quite interesting.
ăShall I try them immediately?ă
If I have stronger techniques, then I can fight against stronger Demonic Beasts. The benefits will also apply to regular hunting.
ăGoblin hunting has already been completed, so perhaps I should try going on a little excursion?ă
