Chapter 10 (1/2)

We arrived at the tenth floor.

By then, Kaede had reached level 100.

”Gyaugyau!”

Ten goblins on top of some wolves were blocking the way.

Kaede danced with her iron fans.

”Blizzard Blossom!”

Pishhh, the passage is covered with ice.

”Wind Slash!”

A strong gust of wind ran horizontally, splitting the goblin's body in half.

That was very good, and raw.

Not even Sain and his team could do something like this.

”You've been using your magic for a while now, are you sure you can keep going?”

”Yes. Thanks to all my leveling up, I have much more magic now than I did before.”

”Okay, but take it easy. If you get tired, let me know.”

Suddenly, multiple steps could be heard coming from down the hall.

Another 20 goblins had just appeared.

Perhaps this is the area where they live.

Since we reached the tenth floor, many wolf-mounted goblins have appeared.

Kaede felt that they were beginning to be too much trouble, so she unleashed a more powerful spell.

”Air Bullet!”

Countless bullets of compressed air pierce the goblins.

They collapsed, looking like swiss cheese.

Such terrifying magic.

I feel sorry for the goblins who received it.

Kaede passed through the tenth level with some energy left over.

We arrived at the twentieth floor.

Kaede's level is now 150.

It seems that the level rise has slowed down.

Maybe it's just my imagination.

It took us a day to get here.

Normally it would take us three days, but surprisingly, everything happened very quickly.

Besides, both Kaede and I have extraordinary physical strength, so we came here without taking any kind of rest.

However, as expected, after more than twenty-four hours, she began to feel a lot of mental fatigue.

I suggested that we take a break and eat here quietly.

”Here you go. That's for you.”

”Thank you very much.”

I held the bowl out and Kaede took it.

Normally, the slave would prepare the food, but unfortunately, she can't cook well.

So I took on that role, as I'm used to doing.

Well, I had a lot of fun, so there's nothing to worry about.

”Delicious! The soup you make, Master, is magnificent!”

”Is it? Well, I have often been praised for my cooking skills.”

Her white tail wagged strongly.

I wonder if that thing is linked to her emotions.

I often see it move when she is happy.

I will ask if I can touch it next time.

Oh right, I need to ask her something first.

”Hey, is there such a thing as a trick for doing magic?”

”The base is the important thing... If you know the spell, you can cast it under all sorts of conditions, but if you don't, it's hard to do.”

”So if you imagine a flame, will it come out of the palm of your hand?

”Actually, it would be better to try wind or earth-type spells first...”

Bashuun

A bright red flash appeared from my right hand and went through the ceiling.

”Eh?”

A red circle has formed that was heating the ceiling.

A fiery sound was heard, and the molten stone dripped onto the floor.

If you look closely through the hole in the ceiling, you can see a dim but starry sky.

In other words, the flash of fire I released just passed through 19 floors.

“…………”

Neither of us bothered to open our mouths, so we resumed our meal in silence.

It is better to forget what just happened.

I didn't do anything.

And neither of us saw what happened.

I'd better follow Kaede's advice, and practice with the wind and the earth. That would be best.

Finally, we arrived at the twenty-ninth floor.

Kaede's level was now 200.

No longer a surprise.
