185 Episode 65: Epilogue of Arc 3 (1/2)

'What strong mana! Just who released that here?!'

For a person like Yami who wanted to become the strongest magician, magic, and users who can use strong magic is one of his fascinations. The moment the strong magic was caught on his radar, he immediately decided to investigate. As he was leaving the shack he was staying in, he saw in the distance a bright yellow light that seemed to be similar to a lightning strike appeared.

”That seems to come from the forest adjacent to the forest we came from. Is someone fighting over there?”

He was about to set out and investigate the place when he noticed that he is not the only one awake.

”You are not sleeping Yami?” Ishana asked as she went outside her shack.

”I should be the one asking you that,” Yami answered while he is still fixated on the source of the magic wave.

”I felt that strong mana earlier. That is already comparable to Voltaire-sama's magic power release.”

”Indeed. I was not expecting that someone in here can use that,” Yami seems giddy to check it out already.

”Are you joking? This is the alternate world. There would be strong individuals to be seen here so it is normal to see someone like that appear here. Anyways, wanna check it out? The person who released that might still be there and still fighting. We can't miss the opportunity to see who this person was! Maybe it is also a fellow Japanese!” Ishana said and invited Yami.

”Let's get going then. We might be too late if we dawdle for too long.”

Ishana nodded and the two dashed in the darkness of the night.

...

Before the two arrive, I already saw them coming quickly in my previous location a few minutes after moving away from the area. I still monitored them using the ability of [Insight] so even when I was already far away from them, I can still see them.

”That was too close and I was almost got caught by them,” I sighed in relief as I managed to return to my shack without anyone noticing.

”You should be careful about your magic spells. It might look like normal lightning strikes but those lightning strikes are the inheritance of Byakko so it is normal to be strong enough to deal damage like that and of course, to attract attention,” Blue reminded me.

”I am just testing it and I never expected I would be able to do that here. It was just too strong and I wished I never did that.”

”Just be careful next time. And from the looks of it, you need to be able to practice the intensity of your lightning magic damage. It just too much destruction if you keep on using it without restraint.”

”Indeed I needed to train, but I don't have the currency to use at the moment to open the Training Space. Don't tell me there is an alternative since we are in another world?”

”There are still so many things we have no idea of in this world. You should explore more and gain different items so that I can determine which will be a good thing to use as the new currency in this world.”

”Which means I have to postpone my electricity training?”

”You don't need to do so. I suggest that you try training to test the intensity of your magic using palm-sized electricity to control it bit by bit while I am still analyzing any item we can use as a substitute for the demon shards and monster shards.”

Palm-sized? Ah, those electric balls I usually do whenever I try to use it for throwing against enemies much farther away as I use normal lightning bolts if it is a little bit nearer than me but a little bit farther than my arm's reach.

Following Blue's suggestion, I slowly started to practice my electric magic to avoid doing overload.

It took me a little practice on maintaining it. Unlike letting it go after materializing, maintaining it the same after a few minutes is hard as it will immediately crumble and ruin my practice. I still have a long road ahead...

...

When Kazuma already arrived at his shack, Yami and Ishana arrived in the vicinity of the source. They didn't expect to see big damage to the surroundings. Ishana tried to move closer but she was suddenly stung while approaching.

”Ouch!” Ishana immediately retreated as she rubbed the parts of her body that suddenly hurt while approaching.

”What happened?” Yami looked at Ishana in confusion.
