Chapter 43 - Level 25[p5]. Second Quest (2/2)

After a minute or two of flying, I arrived above the place where the sound came from.

'Huh? Dragons? That can be messy. Or…'

Apparently, two dragons, were mating because they were huffing and puffing around each other, doing some 18+ content. Jackpot. I got 2 treasure troves, whose guardians were busy with each other.

'Hehe... That's perfect!'

I took a good position on a tree nearby to spectate process, for purely scientific reasons. At the same time, I was considering how can I kill them. Charms are mostly useless, but I am not a charm specialist anyway. Physical spells are also less effective due to the properties of a dragon's skin.

I have some kinetic spells (or projectiles to be precise) that can one-shot even dragon. But then not much will be left from the corpse to recognize it as a dragon. And I need their corpses intact to later sell them or use for alchemy.

So, the problem is that on such a distance I must find a golden mean to cleanly neutralize a dragon. If I overcharge the spell, the projectile will evaporate faster than it will reach the dragon. If undercharge, a projectile will simply scratch their skin and these 2 will notice me, which is ”no bueno” as BunnyFuFu likes to say.

Also, 2 dragons mean 2 targets to shoot.

My ”Kinetic Strike” spell is on a very good level. But I won't say it's perfect. I still need to create projectiles manually, have a pipe through which projectile will travel and a ton of focus during the creation of magnetic fields.

Greatest improvement from the past is the fact that I don't need actual coils anymore, which removes limits from how powerful my strike can get. I honestly didn't test maximum capacity yet.

'I didn't test a new version of ”Kinetic Strike” at all actually...'

Without a pipe, accuracy drops sharply. I can't just control a projectile accelerating with a Mach one or two while controlling 4 or 5 magnetic fields with insane power output. I also need to shield these fields, because I put a lot of power into them and they create very strong electromagnetic fields that can fry me up. I tried to go with a weaker version, but for some reason fields are somewhat... ”unfocused”? I don't know the correct terminology.

Maybe I should learn some physics and look for a solution there. I am not a physicist after all.

Anyway, I digress. I need to think about my plan. After immersing in thinking for a good 15 minutes, I didn't come up with anything plausibly good. I know that I am overthinking and with saves, I can just try my ”Kinetic Strike” until it works, but I feel that it's wrong. Even the system advises me against using it too much, once in a while.

I was out of good ideas...

*Sigh*

'It seems I have no other choice, other than use that... ”spell”. Should I be excited or afraid?'
