The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life Chapter 23

or the ti being, lets kill/defeat them one at a ti.

As long as I dont begin attacking them first, they wont voluntarily aggro for no reason.

If I am able to kill them in one blow, then it will be possible to defeat them without even letting them counter attack.

I chanted/casted Scout Scope on the Nippers.

Nipper

Level12

Magical Value: 820/820

Its magical value is higher than mine, what a cheeky/audacious thing.

By the way, Zombies have around 560 Magical Value and are below .

For the ti being, should we try and attack it?

A Nipper approaches, I casted Black Crash on it.

A black whirlwind propels out of my hand and rips the nippers body asunder, it was completely annihilated.

In one blow?

Black Crash is a second grade magical spell, so it uses up a lot of magical energy.

If possible I would like to use a magical spell that is of a lower grade to preserve so energy.

(Maybe I will try Black Shot?)

-Black Shot is one of the elentary forms of Sky elental magic.

Its the improved version of Black Ball, the special characteristic of Black Shot is that it holds more power.

Of course the amount of magic consumption is also increased as a result.

I took my aim at the other Nippers, and fired of Black Shot.

Magical energy converges and forms the shape of a bullet, I fire the spell and it sinks into the Nipper and blows it away, however, its fighting spirit is still quite strong and the Nipper cos towards in order to counter attack.

Nevertheless, the Nipper cant even get close enough to attack , before I fire a second Black Shot and crush it.

Using two Black Shots takes less magical consumption than casting a single Black Crash, However, as expected it is more efficient to defeat the Nipper in a single blow.

Ahh thats right, I just have to use Magic Amplification and it will be sufficiently good.

If I amplify the effects of Black Shot by twice the power, it should be able to kill the Nipper in one blow.

I casted/invoked Magic Amplification, and searched for more Nippers.

I walked for a little, and used Black Shot on the first Nipper I found.

It satisfactorily destroys the Nipper in one shot.

After the Nipper disappears, there was a bright flash of light.

When I ran up towards it in a hurry, there was a blue jewel.

It was Poseidons Tears.

For it to appear this quickly, I guess it must be a good on

Poseidons Tears was put in the bag, and the hunting was restarted.

They said that the Nippers were going to co out in large quantities, should I prepare a large area of effect magical spell?

Most likely the large area of effect spell cannot be used in this location.

In that case I should go with a middle area of effect spell?

I invoked Magical Amplification, and searched for more Nippers to hunt.

There it is.

Black Storm!

A small tornado tears up the NipperHowever it didnt die in one hit and it charged straight at .

I fall back slightly, whilst I casted Scout Scope.

Nipper

Level12

Magical Value:400/820 (TL: This is basically a monsters health points)

So theres around half left

I could invoke Ti Square and cast four consecutive Black Storms to defeat them in one blow (TL: Im not sure about his maths, shouldnt this be two tis? if one Black Storm took half hp lol~), However using Ti square would deplete almost all of my magical reserves.

Therefore I will leave this a last resort.

I casted Black Shot on the Nipper that ca out to chase and defeated it.

Because I used too much magical energy I decided to ditate a little.

My spirit is concentrated and I could hear the various sounds of rustling as the Nippers were crawling in the sea.

(Kasa = Rustle, Rustle and Zazan= SFX for calm waves of water)

(Even more Kasa Kasa and Zaza)

When I looked around, suddenly there was a huge influx of Nippers roaming about.

To think that monts ago I had to walk around in search for them. Now I dont have to walk anymore.

10No, theres probably more than 20 of them right here.

Is this what Lydia was talking about when she referred to an outbreak?

This isAmazing

Woops! This wont do.

I must hunt them, Hunt!

I hunted them one by one by casting the amplified Black Shot.

Black Shot

Black Shot

Ohh, Poseidons Tears Get!

The Magical consumption of Black shot is really efficient, so I didnt need to stop to ditate and I could continue this fast tempo of hunting.

I was deeply engrossed as I continued to hunt them down, but it would seem that instead of decreasing, the numbers were continuing to increase.

As far as my eyes could reach, the view was covered with Nippers.

If I could just use large scale/area of effect magic, I could round them up in one go

No, its better to knock them out in one go otherwise, they may all co rushing at . Nippers dont aggressively attack those that dont provoke them, it should be safe.

Hmm should I give it a go?

After using Ti Square I simultaneous invoke Magic Amplification.

I used a little bit of ti to recover all my magic by ditating, and then I started to cast Black Storm.

With Black Storm that is strengthened to four tis the strength, the Nippers were totally ripped asunder and cut and crushed, whilst their carapaces were completely splintered/shattered.

All the nippers in my field of view blew up, and a huge amount of the Poseidons Tears began to drop down.

All of my magical energy dissipates in a dash.

I predicted that after using these spells, my magical Energy has depleted to not more than two digits perhaps.

Whilst ditating, I picked up the various Poi Tears and placed them in the pouch. (TL: Im just going to shorten Poseidons Tears to Poi Tears, too long to type)

My steps were a little unsteady as I continued to pick up the Poi Tears.

Suddenly I noticed that I stepped on sothing black.

Is this my shadow?

Imdiately after that, there was a sound of a high pitched wind going off.

(Oh Crap!)

In that mont, I imdiately reacted and dashed/ran forwards.

When I turned around whilst running, a red mass could be seen falling from the sky.

-And.

ZuZun! A thunderous roar accompanied by a cloud of dust flew up.

The earth tremors and quakes and the air shakes, the gigantic figure erects itself slowly.

Big pincers that looked much like scissors and a deep crimson shell with plenty of spikes covering it.

It was a gigantic figure and when it moved even a little, the shell and the scissors/pincers would reflect a gleaming/ghastly light.

Its a King Nipper?!

It was the Beach Cavern Boss, King Nipper.

No, strictly speaking the King Nipper wasnt a boss type monster.

The magic that composed this guy, was naturally considerably higher than the other demons, However if you were to compare it to a boss monster, it would actually be relatively low.

Its strength was in the middle of a usual monster and a boss monster.

Perhaps I should call it a middle boss?

The reason behind the Large out break of Nippers that Lydia talked about, was probably due to this King Nipper laying its eggs within the cave.

Most likely when I used the Black Storm casted at four tis the efficiency, I must of hit the King Nipper which was lying dormant in the cave and made it beco angry/aggro.

Although in terms of its strength it is in no way inferior the boss monster King of Death, its movents were slow/dull and if I were to shoot at it whilst running away, the King Nipper would beco a harmless like existence that was a good-for-nothing dummy target for my spells.

-However, that is only the case if I was in a wide spaced area

In this small space, the smallest approach from the King Nipper would suffocate as if the space around beca even narrower.

This is really bad.

For the ti being, lets try to gain so distance, as I continue to ditate.

I cant let my escape route be blocked.

I prepared myself in case of a surprise attack, and as a habit I applied Safe Protection on myself. (TL: I think this is the na of the spell that deflected the King of Deaths attack and reduced incoming damage by 90 %)

If I have this, I probably wont die in a single hit, right?

The King Nippers raises its pincers overhead.

Its moving in a huge motion.

This attack, even if you were an idiot you could avoid it.

(Thats if I wasnt in such a narrow space)

The large pincers ca crashing down towards , I ducked low and ran a short distance away from it. The place where I just stood monts ago was completed blown away from the impact and a large roaring after effect of the ground being crushed resounded.

Uohhh!?

The broken fragnts of the ground splinters with a pitter-patter as it hits .

Avoiding its pincers in such a narrow space is really difficult.

Naturally, fighting it head on and defeating it is impossible.

I need to get away from it, and even if I need to teleport into the hole I ca from to hide, that may be the best option I have right now.

If I were to go that far, it will be unlikely that it will pursue right?

I slowly walk towards the opposite direction from the hole I ca from.

The King Nipper followed closely and sotis it smashed its pincers towards .

Scary, Scary.

I move slowly so that The King Nipper would follow and I repeated this process, so way or another I managed to successfully lure him away from the hole I ca from.

Geez youve given so much trouble..But now I must bid you farewell

I invoked Teleport and I flew to the hole I ca from.

I was now on the opposite side of the King Nipper.

Before this slow fellow is able to turn around and catch up to , I am sure I can crawl out to safety in ti.

Now I just have to make up a story that I ran away from the King Nipper after it had appeared to Lydia.

Besides, Ive gotten quite a few of these Poi Tears.

Before that fellow notices Im going to go through this hole.

I squatted down and when I tried to shove my head into the hole quickly, Gochin! I crashed into sothing.

Ouchhh!?

It was Lydia.

When I peeked through the small hole I could see Lydias face and her squeezed/crushed breasts.

Or more like, that was all I could see.

With such a body figure, how the heck did she even manage to get this far?

(There we go, Lydia squeezing out)

Lydia bent and twisted her body back and forth like a snail/snake/worm and she wriggled out of the hole.

Fuu. Ive sohow managed to pass

Pon (Pat Pat) she brushed off her knees, and as she stood up, it was apparent that Lydia was definitely bigger than .

..Are you so kind of Mollusks or sothing?

How rude of you! Or more like what happened to ? It seems that I fainted?

Ah, AhhYou suddenly fainted on . Thus, I laid you down on the side of a rock

.Hmm, Is that so? In that case Thanks!!

Doesnt she doubt in the slightest?

Unexpectedly she seems to be quite the naive girl.

Zuzuunn!!

The King Nipper finally turned around and faced our direction.

Ugh, darn it

Ohh, isnt that a King Nipper? So it ca out I see, isnt it hard to fight it in such a narrow space like this?

Ahahaha, Lydia was laughing even though she saw a gigantic King Nipper coming towards us. (TL: LOL Lydia is cute~ so carefree)

It was almost as if she had experience fighting such a thing.

.Have you ever fought one before?

I have, though I have never won against it before

That is to be expected.

The King Nipper has a shell/carapace that has a dreadful/trendous amount of defense attached to it, it was the one thing it could be proud of.

Using normal physical attacks in order to harm it is theoretically impossible.

But this ti I have Zeph-kun who is a magician, so I think we can beat it..!

It would seem that she was fired up.

It is true that if we make use of Lydias nimble body, she should be able to handle the dull movents of a slow King Nipper, and it would be easy for her to beco my vanguard.. However

Lets do this!

(F, finee)

I was made to give in to Lydia again

It would seem that I am inadvertently being influenced by Lydias pace once again
