Episode 206 Karina's Life Magic

After drinking thoroughly that night, Karina and the others parted ways. Thinking she had made a strange promise, she stayed at a hotel for the night.

The next day, after returning home and preparing to dive into the dungeon, she headed to Tokyo again. She stayed in a hotel in a town that had the intermediate-level Akahoshi Dungeon.

On the last day of the three consecutive holidays, they gathered in front of the dungeon at 7:00 in the morning.

"You're early."

By the time Karina arrived, the former leader Sawai had changed and was waiting. Naomi and Minori also arrived when Karina was quickly changing.

Everyone headed to the dungeon together. Immediately after entering, Sawai turned around and checked the grasslands in front of him.

"How far do you want to go?"

"Let's see, let's hunt LizardSoldiers in the rocky mountain area on the 5th floor."

Minori suggested. After hearing that everyone agreed.

Karina remembered that before the search began, she had to tell them about Life Magic.

"I want to tell everyone, I teach Life Magic at the Magic Academy."

Sawai made a surprised face.

"Why Life Magic?"

"I learned from my colleague, a Life Wizard, and decided to teach it to my students."

"Hee~, Karina, who was excellent as a Muscle Wizard, Life Magic, is it."

Minori said while tilting her head. She was glad to be told that, but Karina herself didn't think she was an excellent Muscle Wizard.

"Come to think of it, recently there seems to be more information about Life Magic. I've heard that Life Magic can be used even from the Guild."

Naomi told a story she heard at the Adventurer's Guild.

This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Sawai turned his gaze to Karina.

"If that's the case, you haven't explored dungeons using Muscle Magic at all. Will you be okay?"

Karina let out a sigh. It seemed that the evolution of Life Magic was not as well known as she thought.

"Don't worry. Life Magic can be more useful than everyone thinks."

Karina and the others began to move forward. They were familiar with this Akahoshi Dungeon that Karina had been diving into when she was an active adventurer.

Since only small fries such as Goblins and Attack Boars lived on the 1st floor, they proceeded smoothly. Karina also killed Goblins with her quadruple-activated 'Cone Arrow'. She could have killed them with a sword, but she wanted to show everyone that Life Magic was useful.

"Hm~m, Life Magic, is it. I learned something interesting."

Minori said. She seemed amused, but unimpressed.

After capturing the 1st and 2nd floors, Karina and the others entered the desert area on the 3rd floor. At that moment, Naomi turned her attention to Karina.

"Hey, Karina. It was written in a weekly magazine that Life Magic includes flying magic, but have you learned it?"

"That would be about 'Wing'. I've learned it, but what about it?"

"It's obvious isn't it. I want you to show me."

She thought it would help spread Life Magic, so she agreed. She activated 'Wing' and made a glowing red D-Particle Wing appear.

Everyone focused on the D-Particle Wing.

"Are you going to ride this?"

"Yeah, you ride with a saddle."

Naomi wanted to ride it, so she pulled out a folding saddle. It was small enough to fit in a rucksack, and was a simplified version of the one Grimm used.

When Naomi straddled the saddle and fastened the seatbelt, Karina launched the D-Particle Wing. Naomi seemed satisfied when she moved forward/backward/right turn/left turn/ascent/descend.

"If I had this, it would be easier for me to move through the desert. If I had a talent for Life Magic, I would have learned it."

Naomi said regretfully. Her Life Magic talent seemed to be 'E'.

"I have a talent for Life Magic."

Sawai grinned and said proudly. Minori gave a glancing glare at Sawai.

"Since you went and got seriously injured by OrcKnights, it might be better to stop being a Muscle Wizard and become a Life Wizard."

Sawai panicked.

"Wait, wait, when I was injured against OrcKnights, the other party came by surprise attack with 20 of them."

It was said that two members of the team were injured in the first strike. Since it was a team of four, the remaining two took on 20 OrcKnights, but it seemed that the other companion was an Attack Wizard.

Attack Wizards were weak when the enemy was up close. The Attack Wizard seemed to have died. Sawai defeated about 8 OrcKnights, but he was beaten by the remaining OrcKnights.

"Luckily, another team came to help me, so I was saved, but otherwise I would have died.

Karina looked at Sawai as if judging.

"What is it?"

"If you really have a talent for Life Magic, maybe you should seriously learn it."

Sawai made an unconvinced face.

"Are you saying that if I had learned Life Magic, I wouldn't have been seriously injured?"

"I don't know about that, but Life Magic shows its power even when facing many enemies."

"I can't believe that until I actually see it."

After saying that, they went down to the forest area on the 4th floor through the desert area on the 3rd floor and started looking for a group of BlackHyenas. After searching for about 30 minutes, they found a group of 16 of them.

"I'll show you how to fight as a Life Wizard, so leave the BlackHyenas to me."

Naomi looked worried.

"Will you be okay?"

"Life Magic also has defensive magic, so you don't have to worry about it."

Karina activated 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield', drew her sword and stepped forward. She was soon spotted by the BlackHyenas and they attacked her.

Karina took a low stance and activated SeventhBlade as if mowing down sideways. The V-shaped plate that was mowed down at high speed slashed the BlackHyenas' chests and necks.

Five BlackHyenas died in one attack. Sawai's wide-eyed face caught Karina's eye. Three BlackHyenas pounced at the same time. She fired a QuintArrow at one and mowed down the other with her sword.

"Look out!"

She heard Naomi's voice behind her. That was because the remaining one tried to pierce Karina's shoulder with its fangs. However, one of the D-Particle shields generated by 'Auto Shield' repelled the BlackHyena.

Karina annihilated the BlackHyenas by making full use of 'Push', 'Cone Arrow' and 'Blade'.

Sawai and the other three, who were watching from a distance, had a dumbfounded expression on their face. The battle that Karina showed was too vivid.

"What's going on? Karina has become stronger than when she was active."

Minori raised her voice in bewilderment.
