“What’s the best way to defend from magic?”

“To block the casting, avoid it or defensive magic? There’s a mean to endure it with a s.h.i.+eld and be heavily armored like Luvenn.”

By Luvenn she means the tank. Iron Wall Luvenn. That’s cool!

“It can be avoided? However the Air Hammer couldn’t be seen.”

“Although it’s impossible for me, it looks like it can be avoided. By watching the magic power and execution, seems it can be estimated. Our leader predicting it can casually evade it, heh.”

“And by means of defensive magic?”

“That is. Try attacking me with a bit of a weak fire magic.”

Elizabeth is preparing something while pointing her wand this way. I could vaguely feel her invoking magic power. I try shooting a cautiously weak Fire Arrow and right in front of her something obstructed it.

“It’s Air s.h.i.+eld. If it’s against a petty attack, it can be defended with this, ok? But when it comes to the level of that dragon’s breath it’s doubtful it can be defended with it.

“With fire magic…”

“Well, it’s impossible.”

It was quickly denied.

“Because Fire Magic is specialized in attack, defense is not something ever heard of. At the most, isn’t it limited to Fire Wall?”

Despite having Wall in its name, it’s not something that can defend against any thing.

“If it’s defense then it’s Earth Magic, right? In the case of Stone Wall, it’s defense power is really high.”

This one too is shown by Elizabeth. Due to her casting she was able to erect an approximately 1 meter high mud wall.

“Earth is not really my forte, so it’s only to this extent, ok? However if you give it your best you can make one more st.u.r.dy.”

So, it’s Earth Magic?　As expected she’s complete with all types of magic.

“Still, I recommend you don’t go fooling around. Even though I can use 4 types, I can only use Wind at an advanced level. If you use the variety of them you’ll become a jack of all trades and master of none.”

“Don’t you know any other types? Like spirit or summoning, light and dark?”

Let’s not ask about spatial magic. I’m sure that will be stirring the hornet’s nest.

“Spirit is the magic used by elves. I don’t know about it. Summoning and dark is a kind of magic not well understood, I tell you. There are few doc.u.ments remaining, I think. Light is a type used by the heroes, seemingly it’s effective against undead and demons. I wonder if the priest at the temple knows anything about it.”

Right now some stirring words came out. Heroes and Demons. Could it be there’s also such thing as a Demon Lord? For the purpose of saving the world from destruction, something like defeating the Demon Lord is too unpleasant.

“Ermm, about Heroes and Demons…”

“Those are old legends. There was a Demon Lord and the hero defeated him. It’s a story from hundreds of years ago, eh? There’s no longer a Demon Lord and demons don’t come out from their land. The hero’s adventures became a legend. It’s really interesting. When I was a child I read it many times.”

What a relief, there was no Demon Lord. Still, I hope it hasn’t revived, could he? I became anxious.

“There isn’t a Demon Lord anymore?”

“Yeah, the majority of the Hero’s tale has been verified as true, however what happened in the demon’s land and the fall of the Demon Lord, only the Hero and his comrades know. Therefore, no one besides them saw it. Due to that there are also people that hold in doubt the existence of the Demon Lord, you know? However, I believe it.”

That’s awfully detailed!

“I, became an adventurer because I admired the Hero! The wizard among the Hero’s comrades was a Wind Mage. I wanted to go on adventures like in the stories. I wonder if the Demon Lord will appear again?”

Don’t say such disturbing things! That day around that point the lectures came to a close.

At any rate Spirit, Summoning, Light and Dark and such are rare? I was thinking of acquiring them sooner or later, but never thought of this. Even if they’re useful, I don’t want the be conspicuous. The points expenditure looks to be high and it’s the 4 basic types of magic that comes first. I have 36 skill points, should I at least finish acquiring Earth magic? But there will be times like what happened yesterday, to a certain extent I ought to leave some points just in case. And I can only use Skill Reset once a month.

Skill Points 36

Fencing Level 4, Physical Enhancement Level 2, Skill Reset, Razgrad World Standard Language

Life Magic, Clock, Fire Magic Level 4

s.h.i.+eld Level 2, Evasion Level 1, Spearmans.h.i.+p Level 1, Hand-to-Hand Combat Level 1, Stamina Recovery Enhancement, Guts

Archery Level 1, Throwing Technique Level 2, Stealth Level 3, Presence Detection Level 2

Magic Power Sensing Level 1, Healing Magic Level 3, Common Magic, High Speed Casting Level 5

Skill Reset is blacked out. It means it can’t be used, isn’t it? Raising Fencing to level 5 is 10 points. Allocating points to Fencing and Physical Enhancement would be quick and easy, but looking at today’s fight with the dragon, I couldn’t think of becoming a vanguard. I guess, here I should continue on the way of the rear guard.

Fire Magic level 5 takes 20 Points. And how about something like Agility Up? It looks to me if I can move faster I can evade better. I want to reacquire Ninja Walk. And also Earth Magic. If it’s up to level 3 it’ll take 10 points. Don’t lose sight on each and every thing. Let’s think it over once I return. It’s okay if you leave for tomorrow what can be done tomorrow.
