I Already Know My Magic Power Is Ridiculously High! Now I Just Need a Cute Wife... - Episode 31

“A phantom beast, a phantom beast? The one Shalka was riding was a black horse, right? Where on earth did a phantom beast come from?”

“But no matter how you look at it, that’s not a horse.”

“Damn it, at this rate, they’ll catch up to us…!”

“What are you going to do, Aquila?”

Aquila was watching the earlier battle between Barbato and Shalka from a distance, but Shalka’s high combat power was chilling to the bone.

An opponent that we probably can’t defeat by fighting head-on.

(I have to survive, even if it’s just me…!)

So I thought I had to bring this information back and use the full strength of the alliance to defeat Shalka.

Aquila came up with an idea to get through this situation.

“Links, if we stay together like this, we’ll both be killed by Shalka. So let’s split up. I’ll head to Azarash, and Links, you should turn back and head to Ortenatris.”

“Eh, but if that’s the case, then I’ll…”
“It can’t be helped! Now that it’s come to this, one of us has to survive and pass on the information! Please understand!”

“……Understood.”

The plan that Aquila devised is to use Lynx as bait.

Seeing Lynx nod, Aquila curled his lips into a crescent shape.

(Hahaha… Sorry, Lynx, but die for me)

Aquila, with brain juice overflowing from the biggest gamble of his life, distorted his face into a creepy smile, drooling.

Learning magic is all about having a “vague image” and “trying repeatedly.”

It was my senior apprentice, Uklein, who taught me that.

It seems that Uklein herself learned magic directly from her grandfather.

It was rare for my grandfather to discover talent and take someone on as an apprentice, so it caused quite a stir back at my family’s Nevrim.

As I learned magic from Uklein, I became interested in developing magic.

From the beginning, I had doubts about the existence of something called “magic power.” As I learned various general-purpose spells, I started to think, “Isn’t magic power a type of quantum?”

“Intimidation” has the nature of a wave, and “Meteor Ray” is a collection of energy, so indeed, magical power is a quantum that possesses both particle and wave properties.

By the way, what was born from discovering this was the “Intimidation Orb.”

Designing it so that the particle and wave properties alternate before and after impact might make me a genius in my own right.

The next discovery was the property of “magic conduction and filling,” which allows magical power to be imbued into precious metals like gold coins.

When I thought, “What do you mean metal can store magical power?” I had a sudden realization: “Hey, isn’t magical power similar to electricity?” and discovered that there are two types of magical power, “yin” and “yang.”

Whether it is the same as “electricity” from my previous life is highly questionable, but through repeated applications, my first original magic, “Lightning Magic,” was finally born.

By the way, I once tried to make my younger brother learn “Lightning Magic” through a Spartan education as an experiment in acquiring magic.

However, this turned out to be more difficult than expected.

Because the vague image of electricity didn’t exist in my brother’s mind.

Therefore, in order to be able to imagine electricity, I finally managed to master it by “directly instilling” the “Lightning Magic” into my brother’s body and “having him practice it repeatedly.”

What I learned from this experiment is that I indeed have knowledge from my previous life, which allows me to quickly grasp the magic I can imagine from it.

As a result, it goes without saying that my original magic development has gained momentum.

“Alright, here we go, Dolly-chan! We’ll be facing off soon!”

“Growwwl!”

Dolly-chan seemed happy that I called out to her, letting out a single neigh.

Then, with a loud explosion, it struck the surrounding area with lightning, spreading destruction everywhere.

“……”

I was currently riding on Dolly-chan, who had two horns growing from her head and was crackling with bluish-white electricity, aptly named “Lightning Dolly-chan,” heading towards Star Stella Class A.

Well, there’s a proper reason why Dolly-chan ended up in such a state.

The “Lightning Magic” I developed first was originally just a typical “Lightning Magic,” just as everyone would imagine. That is—

One, a lightning magic that normally releases electric shocks as an attack spell.

Two, lightning magic as an enhancement spell to strengthen one’s own or others’ nervous systems.

However, six years ago, due to an incident where magical power surged, for some reason, my “Lightning Magic” underwent a remarkable transformation.

Especially the second one, which usually only enhanced the nervous system, seems to have been able to increase the creature’s potential.

(In a way, this is the evolution of living beings, isn’t it?)

I think when I see Lightning Dolly-chan.

My “Lightning Magic” has come to affect not just the nerves, but even the genes.

This is no longer “lightning magic.”

Since it is lightning that affects living beings, I have newly named it “Seirai Magic.”

We still don’t know why Dolly-chan ended up like this.

Maybe, just maybe, I used magic thinking, “Dolly-chan, may your legs become faster,” and it reflected my will, turning her into Lightning Dolly-chan.

This magic itself is still full of unknowns.

By the way, I haven’t tried it on humans yet because I’m still scared.

You never know when he might suddenly say something like, “Hey, humans, let’s kill them all.”

For now, I plan to verify using familiar insects, animals, and plants.

Of course, within the range that does not affect the ecosystem.
