Episode 171
Two more days passed.
The group was repeating the same routine over and over again, like a hamster wheel.
Wait on the enemy’s expected movement path.
Shoot the prepared magic and escape by teleporting.
After that, wait on the moving path again.
Wait for your magic to recover, then shoot magic when an enemy appears and move again.
This pattern repeated itself for two days.
As a result, we were able to reduce a considerable number of undead.
“If I do it right, I might be able to finish it without lifting a finger.”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled with satisfaction.
I’m feeling great after getting some rest for the first time in a while and my condition has improved. The operation is going smoothly, so I couldn’t be happier.
However, Park Hyun-ah’s thoughts seemed different.
“This can’t go on…”
She muttered with a serious expression.
“Is there a problem?” “Your opponent, Lich. Your skill in handling magic is getting better and better.”
Sarah Dunphy becomes rich.
She demonstrated outstanding abilities from our first meeting.
He easily blocked Abelson’s magic and destroyed the magic used by Park Hyun-ah in an extraordinary way.
Park Hyun-ah naturally thought that Sarah Dunphy had finished adapting to Magi.
One, that was a mistake.
Sarah Dunphy hasn’t fully adapted to Magi yet.
The basis is her skills, which are constantly improving.
Defensive magic becomes more sophisticated.
It also makes it much cleaner to destroy attack magic here.
Now, even if you use the same magic, it has reached a point where it does less than half the damage compared to the first time.
“f*ck! I was just bragging about reducing the number of enemies, but I ended up leveling up the boss instead.”
Park Hyun-ah bit her lips tightly.
She has never been pushed back by magic since her magic ability passed 550.
Except for Hemis, who is an out-of-spec monster.
Whether the opponent is human or demon.
I was confident when it came to fighting with magic.
But, right now, at this moment.
Park Hyun-ah met her match for the first time in a long time.
No, to be honest, I was a little scared.
How strong can Sarah Dunphy become?
If she fully adapts to magic… wouldn’t a monster like Hemis be born?
At that point, I thought, maybe I really can’t stop it.
“Sister. What should I do?” “I have to hit her with a big punch. Even if she knows, she won’t be able to respond.”
Park Hyun-ah’s eyes were filled with venom.
“You little bastards… I’ll completely destroy you.”
***
“This time, location selection is especially important.”
Park Hyun-ah carefully examined the terrain from the sky.
A location where the enemy will definitely be in your sights, but not too far from the expected enemy movement path.
At the same time, it must be a place where you can hide from the enemy.
The last part is especially important, because as the raids continued, the enemy began to use reconnaissance units in earnest.
If we were discovered by the scouts, we might have to run away without being able to use the magic we had prepared.
“Let’s see…”
As the desert gradually ended and green grasslands began to appear, she examined the terrain as carefully as possible.
“That should be enough.”
Park Hyun-ah, who had finally decided on a location, moved with her group.
“Hey. I’m sorry.”
While moving, Park Hyun-ah suddenly apologized.
Choi Hyun-seok blinked with a puzzled expression.
“Huh? What are you sorry about?” “I just followed you around like a dog for two days. I originally wanted to help you gain some experience and level up.” “Oh, don’t worry about it! Hahaha!”
Choi Hyun-seok was really okay.
No, on the contrary, it was good.
‘Sometimes you have to be this relaxed.’
I was stuck in the inn for over a month, rolling around with demons.
To be honest, I was so mentally and physically exhausted that I was on the verge of going crazy.
At that time, getting some fresh air and walking around with Abelson made me feel like I was on vacation.
‘It’s also quite fun to watch magic.’
It was fun to watch Park Hyun-ah and Abelson firing off large-scale area-of-effect magic.
The only regret is that there is no popcorn or cola.
“Huh, let’s start around here.”
Park Hyun-ah arrived at her destination and began preparing in earnest.
First, we start by drawing the most basic magic circle.

“Here, like this…”
Magical forces become intricately intertwined in the air, creating strange patterns.
Looking at it, Choi Hyun-seok suddenly felt curious.
“Sister. I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“Why do you use a magic circle?”
I’ve seen Park Hyun-ah draw magic circles many times, but I’ve never heard of its usefulness.
“Is the power getting stronger?” “That’s not wrong. The power does get stronger. In this environment, it’s probably only 5% at best.”
Park Hyun-ah continued explaining while drawing a magic circle.
“The real reason to use a magic circle is for stability.”
“Stability?”
“There is a limit to the amount of magic power that can be used for one spell. Usually, 5-10% of the total magic power is used. Depending on the talent, up to 30% can be used.” “Isn’t it possible to use more than that?” “Yeah. It causes overload. You know that since you use speculation too, right? If you pour too much magic power into one speculation, it will cause a backlash.”
“you’re right.”
It was something that Choi Hyun-seok experienced on a daily basis.
I always pour so much magic and magical energy into each and every one of my spells that my body creaks every time I use it.
I’m used to it now and have somewhat adjusted to it, but at first I really thought I was going to die.
When I told this story, Park Hyun-ah snickered.
“That’s what’s weird about you. You’re not supposed to fight like that.”
“Why?”
“Last time, I said that magic was processed from the body’s chariot. Do you remember?”
Speculation processes magical power within the body, while magic processes magical power outside the body.
I think that was roughly the explanation.
Park Hyun-ah continued the explanation.
“Of course, the conditions are bound to be more stringent. The backlash is also more severe when the allowable amount is exceeded.”
“…”
“Usually, the magical power used for speculation is 2~3% of the total reserves. Even if you use only 10%, it is amazing, and if you use 15%, it is a great talent and effort.” “Compared to magic, the numbers are much lower.” “As I said, speculation is processed internally. There is nothing that can be done about it.”
Park Hyun-ah looked at Choi Hyun-seok’s body while speaking.
“Your body. It should have burst and been destroyed long ago. You’re going to put half your magic power into one attack? That’s ridiculous. Even those who boast of being legends would probably have trouble breathing if they exceed 25%. My limit for attacks is around 20%.”
Choi Hyun-seok became lost in thought at Park Hyun-ah’s words.
‘Certainly… it wasn’t like this from the beginning.’
When he first learned the art of speculation, Choi Hyun-seok could not even use 20% of his total magical power.
Because just that alone made me feel like my whole body was going to break apart.
Once you’ve used speculation, you definitely have to take a break for a while.
I even fainted for several days.
But what about now?
20% is the level where the body is slightly tired.
You need to use about 30% to get proper recoil.
Last time, I even hit with magic power and magical energy that was close to 50%.
“Hmm… Is this also because of the SSS-class potential I have?”
Park Hyun-ah shook her head.
“It’s not just a question of potential. Anyway, regarding your body, I was planning on investigating it properly after this incident was over, so just wait.”
“yep.”
“Anyway, I digressed a bit, but do you know why a magic circle is needed?”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded.
“Yes. Doesn’t this mean that you can put more magical power into it at once?” “That’s right. The more magical power you put into it, the stronger it becomes. 50,000 magical power and 100,000 magical power. It’s only twice as much in terms of magical power, but the power is more than four times different. The more magical power you can put into one attack, the more efficient it becomes.”
Park Hyun-ah, who finally completed the magic circle, stretched.
“Ugh! It’s done.”
After more than two hours of concentration, the completed magic circle shone brilliantly.
“I’m going to go for the big one this time. I might be a little dazed after I use it, so brace yourself.” “Does it matter? I’ll teleport away as soon as I shoot anyway.” “You punk. There’s a “what if.” You know what can happen on the battlefield.” “That’s true, but…” “Anyway, if something happens, you’ll have to step up, so relax.”
“yep.”
After a while.
In the distance, an army of undead began to appear.
Park Hyun-ah waited calmly until the guys got to where she wanted them to be.
‘It’s now.’
As they were crossing the plains.
Park Hyun-ah activated the magic circle.
“Phew…”
Park Hyun-ah doesn’t usually show any particular tension in any situation.
But this time it was different.
She slowly released her magic power, taking deep breaths with serious eyes.
Woof…!
A bright light emanates from the magic circle.
The shining magic circle greedily accepted Park Hyun-ah’s magic power.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was watching from the side, swallowed hard.
‘How much do you eat…’
Park Hyun-ah’s magic preparation usually doesn’t take more than 3 minutes.
But for some reason, he had been casting the spell for over 5 minutes now.
“Ugh…!”
Suddenly, Park Hyun-ah’s expression distorted.
“Are you okay!?”
As Choi Hyun-seok tried to approach her, she held out her hand.
“It’s okay. They just noticed and bothered me…”
Park Hyun-ah laughed fiercely.
“This level of interference is ridiculous!”
As soon as she screamed, the magic was complete.
Vision Magic
Lava tsunami
The ground begins to shake.
Choi Hyun-seok looked around with a puzzled expression, trying to keep his composure.
“What, what is this?”
“You’ll know it when you see it.”
As soon as Park Hyun-ah answered.
Choi Hyun-seok could understand why the ground was shaking.
Tsk tsk tsk-!
The ground splits.
A crack appeared in the ground at the very front of the undead, and soon began to open.
-Grow up!
A large number of undead fell through the gap in the giant crack.
That alone was spectacular, but Park Hyun-ah’s magic was just beginning.
Kwaaaaah!
Lava gushed out from the gaping crack.
It doesn’t just flow out.
The lava literally gushed out, creating a huge tsunami.
“What is that…”
A gigantic lava tsunami that would likely be 10 meters high.
Choi Hyun-seok stared blankly at the sight, his mouth wide open.
Grow up!
The undead know no fear.
Even with the wall of lava right before their eyes, they didn’t stop advancing.
Within, a tsunami from hell swept away the dead.
***
“Ah… This is merciless violence. It’s reached a certain level.”
Sarah Dunphy opened her arms wide.
A tsunami was approaching her that would erase everything.
“Such wild magic. It makes me doubt if it’s really magic.”
Even this is a magic whose power has been reduced by her interference.
Still, I felt a magical power so powerful that I could not dare to resist it.
“Your Majesty, first of all, you should avoid…” “No. That is not possible.”
Sarah Dunphy stretched her arms out in front of her.
“It is true that the situation is unfavorable.”
This is a battlefield prepared by the enemy.
A prepared wizard can wield powers far greater than his original abilities.
Moreover, he was in a situation where he had to face the unfamiliar power of magic.
If you just look at the conditions, it was as bad as the worst.
“One, making excuses and running away is something only the weak do.”
A deep smile appeared on Sarah Dunphy’s lips.
“I ask you, am I weak?” “No. Please forgive my carelessness.”
The best warrior Liam knelt down.
Sarah Dunphy pulled up the magic wand without looking back.
Before we knew it, the lava tsunami was right in front of us.
“Go… my dragon.”
Sarah chanted, and at the same time the magic was complete.
9th class magic
Dragon spirit
The magic extending from her fingertips expanded in size and soon took the shape of a dragon.
-Kraaaaaaa!
The dragon let out a huge roar and charged straight into the lava tsunami.
‘I was in a hurry so I only used half of the original power…’
Sarah Dunphy laughed, holding back her reflux of magic.
‘Enough to clear the way.’
The dragon did not stop.
It is hit by a lava tsunami and eats up all the lava it comes across.
As a result, a huge path appeared in a straight line in front of her.
Sarah turned around and said with a puzzled expression.
“The enemy’s retreat route has been blocked.”
In front of her were the best warriors, Liam, the founding fathers of the Kingdom of Balington, and the First Warriors.
“Go. It is your turn to go.” “I obey the king’s command!”
85th Heroic Undead.
They began to run along the path between the lava, their red eyes glowing.
