TLN: I am changing the Maryoku to Magical power

10. Finally, the revenge

Early in the morning, after eating breakfast at the bar I go and buy the things needed. The sleeping time is shaved because of that, but I am already used to it.

With plenty of time left I go to the church, which is the meeting place.

There is a father who is writing something for the people praying. Among them is Dia.

There are a lot of people that pray in this world. Many of them are religious believers, but even non-believers pray, people like the adventurers mostly. That is because the act of praying is needed to level up. Included in the various things the father talks about, is the method to level up, so many people come to the church.

It seems different from the G.o.d from my world, who doesn"t do anything. When the religion works to level up, many people will join it.

After Dia finishes praying, he talks to the father for a moment, then finds me and comes.

"Christ, you arrived early" [Diablo]

"Good morning Dia" [Christ]

"I thought that maybe my level could rise, but it wasn"t possible" [Diablo]

I confirm Dia"s status.

–Status

Name Diablo Cis HP 39/52 MP 431/431 Cla.s.s Swordsman

Level 1

Strength 0.59 Endurance 1.12 Ability 0.92

Agility 0.88 Intelligence 1.34 Magical power 23.25 Potential 5.00

Condition: Divine protection 1.00

Experience: 89/100

It seems that he will level up with some time.

And the status that seems like a joke.

Especially his magical Power.

"I will attract the monster"s attention" [Christ]

"I am sorry. I don"t think I can do any damage to the monsters with normal attacks. So I think I will use magic" [Dia]

It seems that he can"t defeat monsters with his sword. So that is the reason why he was so obsessed with finding partners. It is reasonable, after all it is said that mages can"t act alone.

So he isn"t a swordsman? So he can leave the swords? I thought, but I can"t say it. It seems that Dia is aiming to be a swordsman.

"I understand. However I will keep avoiding the monster, because I don"t want to be hurt if possible" [Christ]

"That is fine, you alone being the vanguard is a bit unfair" [Dia]

"Well, this formation is the most optimal; after all I am suited for disturbing the enemy" [Christ]

"When my level rises, I will fight with the sword too. So please bear with it until that time" [Dia]

No, I think you better keep using magic. I think, but don"t say it. The reason why I can"t say it is because I would have to explain about "Display".

"Well then, we should look for monsters at the first floor" [Christ]

I reach the labyrinth"s entrance while talking. It is quite a rough entrance. And there isn"t a guard by the entrance.

"Okay, let"s go" [Christ]

I challenge the labyrinth a second time.

My heart was stirred. Anxiety and fear were filling me. But I try to conceal it.

I gathered information. I studied about the monsters by reading books. I also heard a lot from adventurers at the bar. I have the appropriate equipment. Although a bit uneasy about it, I have a talented and trustworthy person. Besides, I can use "Display". And I can use magic, so there are no problems.

◆◆◆

The first monster is "Ripper Beedle".

I went a bit away from the "Right path" for a while. And I found this insect-type monster in the Barth Area, which is an area that is known for its insect-type monsters.

By using the magic "Dimension" I found this monster, and after that I start to use the "Dimension - Battle Gladiator". This magic specializes in using "Dimension" for battle, although the detection range reduces, the distance perception and information are increased, which is greatly helpful for the fight.

Magic is easy to use with an image.

With this magic, I will not miss any enemy"s movements.

"I found one. Let"s go as planned" [Christ]

"Understood!" [Dia]

We move as we arranged before. Dia starts his chant, and I stand in front of him with my sword in hand.

It is Attack, parry and dodge. While concentrating on that, I stay around so the monster doesn"t go to Dia.

Ripper Beedle rushes to me. I bring down the sword with full strength to stop its rush.

I can see its movement thanks to the effect of the magic. There is no danger to me when it is used.

It was our first battle, but as it was a monster that I had fought before I wasn"t nervous.

Above all, I felt that the monster was way weaker than before. The level up caused my agility to raise so monsters look slow. My strength rose so now I can crack open the sh.e.l.l that I couldn"t damage before. There is no more fear.

It was at this moment that I felt this world"s level system.

"Christ! I will shoot!" [Dia]

While I was keeping the Ripper Beedle in check, Dia alerts me.

I step aside so that Dia can see the monster.

"Fire arrow!" [Dia]

Dia completes the magic and a flash is released.

Fire arrow. According to what I heard, Dia"s attack magic is the first magic of the fire type, an arrow made of magical power is released accompanied by extreme heat.

When I heard about it, I thought that, as the name suggests it was just an arrow of fire. I was imagining fire in the form of an arrow being released from a bow.

But actually, it is different.

A line, it is a line. It is a laser, leaving a white trail in the air.

It is impossible to follow it with the eyes. Just as I saw the glow, the line was formed.

Oh, wait, what…?

"Okay!" [Dia]

Dia succeeds in hitting the whole body and raises a victory cry.

The Ripper Beedle with a hole in its body starts to disappear.

It was only a hit.

"I killed it! It was a bit disappointing!" [Dia]

He seems pretty happy and is rejoicing in it.

I am still trying to understand it.

"Oh, congratulations…" [Christ]

I congratulate him with a happy tone.

"Thank you very much! It is the first time that I have killed a monster of this size!" [Dia]

"That"s good…" [Christ]
