The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

Well be going now, Mother!

Take care!

Mom sent us off while waving her arm above her head, and we left home.

By the way, Milly and Shirushu slept together with Mom in her room. Their light was still on until late into the night, probably because they were talking about something. Thats so dreadful that I simply cant ask them about it.

Zephs Mom is a good person, isnt she?

Yeah, if I become a mother someday, my goal is to become someone like her.

Shirushu clasped her hands before her chest and looked upward as her eyes sparkled.

Shes not such a great person though?

As I sighed, Milly spoke to me.

By the way, Zeph, what are we going to do now?

Theres an outbreak of Dark Zells around Nanami Town right? I thought that we could go around killing them before Lydia and Silverie come back. Its dangerous to have those monsters near the town after all, and we could also serve as our training at the same time.

Recently, by continuously defeating the black monsters around here, I received a large amount of experience and my level rose to 86.

The black monster boasts an unparalleled efficiency in providing experience points. Even now, just by defeating a few of them, I could raise a level.

To obtain the Flame of Flame title, theres no better way than to level up.

Shirushu, can you find the Dark Zell using your sense of smell?

Leave it to me!

Shirushu thumped her chest with confidence. We let her lead the way, while Milly and I followed behind her.

After a while of walking, Shirushu stopped in her tracks and pointed towards a rock.

Over there.

Blue Gale!

Milly let loose a water spout, which activated with the rock in its center.

Together with some stones, the Dark Zell was sucked up into the sky.

Shirushu, can you do it!?

Y-Yes!

The Dark Zell fell to the ground and rebound upwards as Shirushu turned to face it

She let out a long breath as she fixed her eyes on her prey. Her hair and eyes were gradually dyed in scarlet.

Zeph-san Ill leave the rest to you!

Beast Transformation. As Shirushu was turning scarlet due to the powers of the pure-bred Beastfolk within her, her claws and teeth also grew longer and sharper.

I took the hand of the beast-like Shirushu and cast Time Square.

While time is stopped, I cast White Weapon four times.

The result is the quadra-fusion magic, White Weapon Square.

Shirushus hands began to glow with a blinding light. Like a four-legged beast, she crouched low and curled her body up like a tensed spring, then she pounced towards the Dark Zell.

Gaaaaah!!

Shirushu roared as she swung her arm at the Dark Zell. Her claws swiped at the Dark Zell, leaving red stripes which ran across its body.

Since the beast-transformed Shirushu has a higher offensive ability, she was the vanguard while Milly and I were the rear guards.

Gaau!

Shirushu kicked the Dark Zell high above her head.

As the Dark Zell rose, Shirushu also leaped into the air following it.

Aaa!!

Then, Shirushu swung downwards with both claws, slamming down on the Dark Zell. On impact, the Dark Zell spiraled towards the ground at such absurd speeds that it was as if the air was split open.

When it hit the ground, the impact kicked up a cloud of dust and the Dark Zell bounced high off the ground. Milly and I estimated the Dark Zells trajectory, then together we cast White Sphere at it.

The result is a bi-fusion magic, White Sphere Double.

The Dark Zell was enveloped in a flash of light and annihilated.

With that, Shirushus red hair returned to its original color.

Good work, Shirushu.

Haa haa yes

Shirushu panted heavily as she replied. She was dripping in sweat and her cheeks were flushed.

Although Shirushu has become much better at controlling herself in her Beast state, it appears that Beast Transformation still puts a great strain on her body.

However, once she gets used to it, the burden on her body would gradually lessen, and she would be able to handle the powers of the pure-bred Beastfolk without going on a rampage. Besides, Sarutobi also mentioned that its better to have Shirushu fight in her Beast state whenever we have leeway in our fights.

We defeated Dark Zells one after another, and the number of Dark Zells eliminated totaled seven.

In her Beast state, Shirushus attack prowess helped us to end the battles quickly, but it was still tiring, so we took breaks in between the fights.

Shirushus level was originally much lower, but it rose in one shot with todays training.

Since it was starting to get dark, I guess we should stop here for today?

As I was about to cast Teleport to return to Nanami Town, Milly pulled on my sleeve.

Hey Zeph, is that?

In the direction Milly pointed, Elise was battling it out with a Kobold Elite.

It looked like she was forced into a tough fight, as she was out of breath as she confronted the wounded Kobold Elite.

I-Its looking bad! Lets help her.

Shirushu was about to dash towards Elise when I stopped her.

Whats the matter!? Zeph-san, if we dont help her quickly

Its fine, Elise wouldnt lose to an opponent of that level. More importantly, if we helped her now, that would hurt her pride, wouldnt it?

I dont want any trouble. Well, I would give her a hand if things get dangerous for her though.

Milly and Shirushu watched over Elises battle while on the edge of their seats. I paid attention to ensure that they didnt jump out to help her.

Before long, the fight ended and Elise emerged victorious.

While the girls were relieved, I cast Teleport so that we could get back to town before Elise noticed us.

Rather, that was the plan, but at the instant before we teleported, my eyes met Elises and she glared at me sharply.

Her eyes seemed to say that she didnt need our unnecessary concern.

Damn it. I think she had already noticed us earlier.

Good grief, I hope she wont come to pick a fight with us over this though?

As I sighed, I teleported away from the area.
