The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life Chapter 143.2

I jumped onto a big rock and entered the cave.

The inside of the cave was connected to the sea, so if I were to slip I would fall directly into the sea.

However, despite the site being lightly illuminated by the Red Ball, I still had to proceed carefully because it had not improved the scaffolding.

The ceiling echoed with the sound of water drops falling, making feel uneasy.

Ain clung onto my back, looking like she didnt like it as well.

Hyaa!! H-Hey gramps Didnt sothing just move in the water?

Its probably just fish.

I tried moving the light closer to the surface of the sea, but I didnt see anything out of the ordinary.

Shallow waters such as these normally had a lot of small fish searching for food.

I continued walking without really thinking about it, but Ain still seed scared.

Theres definitely sothing! Right there!

Hmm

Having thought that the fussiness she was exhibiting was in fact due to sothing, I decided to use Ti Square. While ti was stopped I cast Black Sphere and Green Sphere.

Double Fusion: Gravity Sphere.

The black gravitational sphere appeared in the water and began sucking up the seawater.

The water dried up in the blink of an eye and at the bottom there was a spooky blackish lump of at that was wriggling around like a fish.

Hyaa!!W-W-W-W-Whats that?!! Ain said her eyes filled with shock.

The thing extended from the entrance of the cave and pulsated as it rocked back and forth.

Is it so kind of tentacle?Or maybe so kind of plan?

Just as I was closely examining it, its tip suddenly flew up and charged at .

Damn i!

GRAMPS?!!

When I tried to run away it wrapped itself around my leg and dragged into the sea.

I heard Ains desperate shouts, however they only grew more and more distant.

As I struggled to escape I was swallowed by the sea current and couldnt differentiate up from down no longer.

You bastard. So you want to fight underwater huh.Damn it. If it goes on like this, it might get bad!

In order to get a better grasp of the situation I cast Ti Square.

As ti stopped, so did the torrent, and I could finally get a better look at the tentacle that was holding onto .

I might as well take the opportunity to escape.

While ti was stopped I cast Red Crash and Black Crash.

Double Fusion: Pyro Crash

I unleashed it towards my feet.

The flas burned down the tentacle to a crisp, forcing it to let go of my foot, allowing to escape.

A mass of flas that appeared within the sea, shone brightly while using my magical power as a source.

It lightly illuminated the bottom of the sea, allowing to see where the tentacle was coming from. It was attached to the soft looking body of a monster.

I aid at that monster and cast Scout Scope.

Octorol Level 74

Magic Power Level: 245,866 / 258,647

Its red eye peaked through its lumps of at as they stared at .

Octorol was a giant monster that lived at the bottom of the sea and attacked its prey by extending its eight tentacles.

The main body usually lurked at the bottom of the sea, while its long tentacles floated around in shallow waters, waiting for prey to approach them and then drag them to the bottom of the sea. It was also referred to as a Fishing Pass due to its fishing-like hunting thod.

I ended up encountering quite the thing while looking for Claude.I must get to the surface fast.I wont be able to fight it properly while inside the water.

I began swimming up in order to get to the surface, however the Octorol had no intention of letting go as it extended its tentacles in order to try and catch .

This damn thing!!

I cast Black Crash at the incoming tentacles, creating a blast of wind within the water which propelled my body upwards.

The Octorol shivered back for an instant, but at the next mont it once again shot out its tentacles.

The efficiency of the spell dropped considerably inside water.

If I dont hit it at point-blank range, then it wont have any effect?!!But Im running out of oxygen

While trying to hold my breath I cast one more Black Crash.

However, it was even less effective than the last one.It seems like its power is reduced significantly.

It must be because Im not able to keep a steady mind due to my lack of oxygen

As I desperately tried to get away I suddenly felt sothing trying to wrap around my leg.

It was the Octorols tentacles. After wrapping around my legs, it then gradually moved up to my hips, my torso, my arms, and eventually pulled into the bottom of the sea.

The shock from the pull, shook my brain and even caused so damage to my internal organs.

urgh!!

As a result I ended up exhaling the air that I had been storing inside my stomach.

This is bad.My body wont move

My eyes began to close due to the pain.

The Octorol opened its huge mouth as it waited for to be dragged down. However, I didnt miss that opportunity.

Ti Square!!

I used my remaining magic power to cast Ti Square.

While ti was stopped I cast Red Crash and Blue Crash.

At the sa ti as ti began to flow again the spell flew out, aiming directly for the Octorols open mouth.

Burst Crash!

With a roaring sound a trendous shock wave burst forth.

With its help my body was shot up towards the surface.

The Octorol also seed to be struggling.This is my chance to escape.

Damn it Its way too far!!

The impact of the Burst Crash was way less effective within the water, and although I hadnt sustained any damage it still wasnt enough to push to the surface.

My body wont move any more.

As the light that was shining at began to grow dim, and my consciousness slowly faded I felt a soft touch on my lips.

Afterwards a flow of oxygen began to enter my body.

More!I need more!

My body was beginning to fill with oxygen, but it just wasnt enough.

Grasping for more and more air I tried to suck in as much as I could.

Hey! Isnt this much enough already?!!

A bell-ringing voice echoed directly inside my head.

What stood before was an angle with a blushing face and white wings Or rather, it was just Ain.

Ain had dived into the water in order to try and deliver so air to .

You sure are one work of art gramps

She lowered her eyes as her face turned bright red, and after lifting her lips with a sowhat moody expression, she turned around and grabbed my hand. And like that she flapped her wings and began pulling towards the surface.

The surface got closer and closer and at last we broke through the water prison.

gasp!!

cough, cough

My face was completely pale.

Despite that I desperately gasped for breath.

It felt like I had been reborn.

That was really bad.

Gramps, you okay?

Haa Haa Y-Yea Thank you Ain cough.

Hey, hey, take it easy. Ain said as she gently stroked my head as I gasped for breath.

She then helped by pulling and we sohow managed to get to the cliff.

The Octorol did pull out of the cave after all.

Well I did get out with my life, so I guess its all good.

Upsy-daisy.

Ain, thank you, you really saved there.

If you want to thank then get food. As much as possible, you hear!!

Haha, okay, its a deal

I continued to chat with Ain while holding onto the rocks of the coast.

Seeing Ain happily flutter her wings and scatter the seawater as she swayed on top of the rock, reminded of my dog.

Her hair and clothes were stuck neatly to her body, cleanly showing her curves beneath her white dress.

Hey!!! What are you looking at gramps!

As if having felt my gaze, Ain quickly used her hands to cover her chest as she turned bright red.

I was deeply moved by the fact that the Ain, which I had taken care of for a long ti, had grown up so well as to even save .
