The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life Chapter 85

My consciousness was about to be blown away.

Was I caught the instant I had cast my magic?

I clenched my teeth so that the shock of the impact wouldnt blow away my consciousness.

Since I had cast Safe Protection beforehand, the damage wasnt that great, but if I were to receive it directly, I wouldnt have been as lucky.

As soon as I touched the ground, I stepped back and once again cast Safe Protection upon myself.

Her father didnt seem like he intended to attack from the other side, so I concluded that a long chant posed no problem.

Whats wrong? I cant hand over Lydia if youre only at that level.

He said that and beckoned toward him from the other side.

How am I supposed to deal with his speed?

Nonetheless, if he shows even higher speed, than the burden on my body will be too much.

While I was ditating, I was surrounded by thoughts, but it seed like I wouldnt have any chance winning in close combat.

Ill try to mix magic here.

While running across, I cast Blue Bullet, and fired several tens of water balls to assault the father.

Each of the water balls hits were synchronized with the movents of Lydias father, and yet he narrowly dodged them all.

How does such a huge body move like that?

Red Sphere, Lock

I predicted where his movents would land, and laid a Red Sphere.

However, at the mont of the orb of fires impact, he had brandished his arms.

Haa!

He knocked it back with all of the strength he possessed.

His fist broke through the fla and the ball was shattered right down the middle, completely disappearing.

His arm was a little burnt but there didnt seem to be much damage.

Oi oi, breaking magic with the law of physics, isnt that absurd?

I have seen skilled adventures who used a weapon to clear away magic, but this was the first ti I saw soone do it with their bare hands!

I have been found out. Im certain of it. Lydias father noticed hiding in the shadow of the flickering ruins of the flaming Red Ball. Its too late. In this mont, he is about to kick this area.

(Ti Square!)

In an instant, ti was suspended. I thrust my arm to his kick. I was lucky I made it with the timing of the kick. While I was being impressed, I chanted Sleep Code. The ti suspension canceled, and his eyes beca blank.

Sleep Code: a magic to forcibly bestow a sleep condition.

Typically, with this magic, you wouldnt receive any effects unless at point-blank range, the person affected was looking at the casters eyes and hearing the casters chant. However, if the spell is cast against a person who doesnt have any magical power, then it is certain that the person will fall into a sleeping state.

There are many weak points, but if I use Ti Square, its possible to use this spell during actual combat.

While I collided with the wall towards which I was kicked, her father fell on his knees almost simultaneously.

When I pulled out my head, which was buried in the wall, fragnts of the wall lightly fell around .

Its Zephs win~!

Milly raised one hand and proclaid my victory.

Iyaa! I lost! I lost! As expected of Zeph-kun, the man I anticipated. If its you, then I can entrust Lydias safety to you with peace of mind!

Her fathers good mood was apparent. He was laughing lively. *Gahaha*

What?! I thought he didnt want Lydia to go at any cost, but because I won, he was easily sending her out?

I dont understand this guy.

Shes in the room on the second floor, so do whatever youd like. I wont mind.

Well be waiting downstairs.

Her father showed a face with unknown aning behind it. Although I had questions, I climbed up to the second floor and knocked on the door that seed to be Lydias.

Are you there, Lydia? I beat your dad. He has given you his permission to go to the capital.

Eh, you beat my dad!? For real!?

Aah, its just as you said. He really was strong.

He was a formidable opponent. If I hadnt strengthened my speed four-fold, I probably would not have been successful.

Well now, whats with standing around talking through the door? Can I co in? Lydia?

Waa! No No NO! You still cant enter, no~!

I could hear a noise from inside the room.

What? Are you putting your room in order?

Youre wrong, but Uh~ Its fine Enter.

Lydias voice sounded like she had sowhat given up.

Which reminds , her father did say that he had Lydia locked up, but is this related to that?

I opened the door without turning the key. Could it be that shes tied up?

I opened the door and entered Lydias room. There was Lydias figure in the corner of the room, wrapped up in the futon and crouching.

Well, its not exactly a particularly strange state to be in.

Lydia looked at with a troubled face, and laughed.

Th thanks for coming to rescue

Of course I would. Youre our comrade after all.

Zeph-chi

Hey, lets go.

Its its no good! Ill go afterwards, ok?

When I approached Lydia after she said that, her face was bright red for so reason. She quickly rejected .

What could it possibly be?

Dont worry! Ill co laterrr~

What are you so embarrassed about? Its fine, so co on.

WaiKyaaaa!?

When I grabbed Lydias futon and forcibly pulled it up, Lydia instantly closed her eyes in resignation.

What ca out after pulling off the futon was Lydia, wearing a pure white dress.

The dress had a long skirt arranged with shining silver ornants. Around her neck hung a jeweled necklace.

Where did she get the appearance of a princess?

I was captivated by Lydia, who usually dressed in a totally different way.

Its weird, right? Thats why I didnt want to be seen like this. Dad made wear it

Lydia turned bright red as she muttered these words.

No, No. Its not that strange. Rather, it looks good on you. Youre beautiful, Lydia.

Really?

Lydia looked like she doubted my fascination with her. She continued to stare at .

Perhaps I sounded like I was lying, because Lydia seed suspicious.

Im not lying. (Zeph)

Muu (Lydia)

As she wasnt used to being told such, Lydia was still doubtful. She covered her chest with her hand and turned to the side to avoid looking in front of herself. Is simply wearing clothes that you usually dont wear that embarrassing?

However, she slowly beca a little more accustod to the idea and sat on the bed.

My dad; He said that since Zeph-chi would co to rescue , I needed to change my clothes and wait in my room just like a captured princess would wait for her prince

I began thinking back on what her father was saying before that I hadnt understood. This is probably what her father was saying.

Your father is surprisingly romantic, huh?

Aahaha! Maybe thats true. He seems like he has a splendid romantic side. My mother died a long ti ago, but he never chose to remarry.

While that may be true, making Lydia dress this way and locking her up is extrely botherso.

Still, I was watching Zeph-chis fight from up here, but I think I understand the sentint. Im a little moved. Its a joyful thing; a boy coming to rescue .

Dont worry about it. Rescuing a comrade is to be expected.

Yeah, Zeph-chi is always like that.

I was a little embarrassed by Lydias modest words.

In order to hide my embarrassnt, I turned my back toward her.

Co on, lets hurry up and go! I said that everyones waiting.

Thats true. Ah, Zeph-chi, wait!

I turned around when Lydia called out, and felt a soft sensation on my lips.

Right before my eyes was Lydia bending down to match my height.

Thanks!

Lydia smiled sweetly as she thanked , and went down the stairs.

Continuing with the story, while everyone was making fun of Lydias charming figure, her father brought to an inner room and bowed his head.

I entrust Lydia to you, Zeph-kun! She has an irresponsible side to her, but shes a good daughter.

I know, Ill definitely protect Lydia, so rest assured.

I thought you would say so!

*Gahaha* Her father laughed heartily.

Regardless of his antics, hes a good person.

By the way Zeph-kun, I wouldnt mind if you called Dad.

Ill consider it.

Upon my reply, his giant hand slapped my back.
