I, Who Was Dismissed as Worthless Failure by my Family and Fiancée, Discovered I had Reincarnated as a Game Character I Raised with Great Care and Vowed to Take Control of my Life and Defy Anyone who Opposes Me. - Chapter 97: Ice Magic, Level 8 [Cocytus]

Chapter 97: Ice Magic, Level 8 [Cocytus]

Perhaps the ability to chant magic by omitting that part is unique to me, having inherited the game’s system. But now, such things don’t really matter.

What matters is that I’m going to punch this old hag right now.

Confirming I have consumed a portion of my level 8 mana, I begin the incantation for Level 8 magic.

“Ice magic, level 8 [Cocytus].”

As I finished the incantation, a white, ribbon-like substance resembling smoke appeared, floating in the air, making crackling sounds as it flowed toward Charlotte like a river.

“Level 8? Are you stupid? Level 6 is the highest level of magic, so there is no way there could be magic spells two levels higher! Moreover, your chant is just stating the name and level. Even if level 8 magic spells truly existed, it’d be impossible to use them by simply uttering their level and name! And, of course, your magic spell is just a lousy trick that emits smoke!”

And despite Charlotte being on guard before my chant, she laughed and mocked me as she witnessed the magic I used.

From Charlotte’s expression, it’s evident that she already believed she had won, that there was no way she would lose to such a weakling.

Meanwhile, the ribbon-like smoke gradually expands its width and length, crackling and extending toward Charlotte.

“What’s going to happen if this smoke reaches me!?”

Then, Charlotte uses her wand to brush away the white smoke approaching her.

“… Eh?”

And as she brushed the smoke with her wand, the parts the smoke touched began freezing, making cracking sounds.

“Hiii!!”

Witnessing this scene, Charlotte seemed to realize the danger of the freezing spreading from the spot and threw away a high-end wand probably valued beyond measure in this world, retreating from the white mist. 

That wand probably holds value comparable to a violin handled by a top-tier violinist in his previous life; it wouldn’t be strange if it were worth that much. However, before that valuable wand reached the ground, it was encased in ice.

“What… What is this mist-like thing!?”

“What? Didn’t you hear it? It’s the effect of ice magic, level 8 [Cocytus].”

“I didn’t ask about that! I can’t afford to waste time dealing with someone like you, you monster!!”

And thus, Charlotte tried to escape from the scene before she realized she couldn’t stop the magic she herself cast.
