Magic Maker – How to make magic in another world –
Chapter 187 Enchantment
Melfi flew right beside me.
She fluttered around above my head, sprinkling magical scale powder.
The magical scale powder showered down on me, seeping into my body.
I feel a strange surge of power.
‘W-What on earth!?’
“Shion’s magic has recovered! The fairy’s blessing has been renewed!”
“Fairy’s blessing…?”
The words sounded familiar.
Einzwerf mentioned it.
He declared that he would make me his servant and thrust his fangs into my neck.
And in the end, Einzwerf, influenced by the fairy’s blessing, suffered abnormalities and was defeated by us.
In other words, it’s an effective means against the demon race.
It’s like a defensive magic, I suppose.
“Blessings grant resistance to the demon’s magic!
Melfi and Shion’s contract! Only one fairy can form a contract with one human!”
“So, so Melfi blessed me, and that’s why I could defeat Einzwerf?”
“Huh? I don’t really understand.”
Melfi doesn’t know about Einzwerf.
However, because Melfi blessed me, I was able to avoid becoming Einzwerf’s servant.
Everything is connected now.
Melfi was my benefactor.
However, I don’t remember making any contracts.
Moreover, gaining resistance to the demon race’s magic and recovering magical power?
Why can such things happen?
What kind of logic is this?
The desire to know surfaced, but I immediately shook my head.
I don’t have the luxury to think about such things right now.
Clanging and loud metallic sounds echo.
Marie and Rapunzen’s battle has resumed.
I must think of a way to defeat Rapunzen.
She is strong.
I can’t win a straight-up fight.
Is there no other way?
“Shion, Melfi’s benefactor and friend! That’s why I’ll help!”
Melfi flew energetically towards Rapunzen.
“N-No! It’s dangerous! Ugh!”
I instinctively followed Melfi.
However, my body still wouldn’t cooperate.
Even if I try to use magic, I can’t manipulate magical power.
It seems there’s still internal damage.
In the midst of this, Melfi reached Rapunzen.
“This presence… is it a fairy!?”
Rapunzen turned towards Melfi.
Melfi flew up above Rapunzen, once again sprinkling magical scale powder.
In an instant, Rapunzen leaped away to evade.
The moment she landed, Marie swung her sword downward.
Rapunzen strengthened her arm with a shield, intending to block Marie’s attack head-on.
However, Marie’s strike pierced through the shield, tearing Rapunzen’s arm.
“Nugaaaaa!!”
While masking the pain with a scream, Rapunzen kicked Marie away.
However, Marie somehow managed to block Rapunzen’s kick with her iron thunder sword.
“Ugh!”
Marie was sent flying backward, but she adjusted her posture in mid-air and landed gracefully.
However, it seemed she couldn’t fully absorb the impact, as the iron thunder sword was broken.
Why did it pierce Rapunzen’s shield?
Until now, the attacks of the iron thunder sword were supposed to be blocked by the shield.
“Gnngh! The fairy’s magic!!
It’s annoying!!”
“We’re not done yet!”
“Damn it! What are you saying!? Don’t interfere!!”
Upon closer inspection, Melfi’s magical power was entwined around Rapunzen’s body, sparkling.
As Melfi mentioned, are demons weak to fairy magic?
If so, it makes sense that the fairy’s blessing has an effect on demons.
We’ve been saved by Melfi many times.
That’s why we must help her.
“Shatter into pieces!”
Rapunzen, still filled with anger, directed her fist towards Melfi.
In an instant, Marie stepped forward to shield Melfi.
However, the iron thunder sword Marie had was already broken.
At this rate, the two of them are in danger!
Finally able to use magic, I used a jump and sprinted as if crawling on the ground.
But it’s still far.
Just a little more to reach them, yet still out of reach.
Should I use magic?
Bolt, Flare, Blow, Aqua, or maybe a combination spell?
However, from this position, using any magic might risk involving both of them.
Not in time!
Marie drew her beloved sword.
It was an ordinary sword, one without magical properties. Defending against Rapunzen’s attacks with a non-magical sword would be difficult.
“Sisssss!”
With my shout, a thunderous sound echoed in the surroundings.
Simultaneously, cries rang out—
“Gguaaa!”
—it was from Rapunzen.
Rapunzen, who should have attacked, now distanced herself from Marie, groaning in pain.
Holding her arm, she seethed with anger.
In contrast, Marie calmly held her sword at the ready.
Marie was unharmed.
Melfi hurriedly flew into the sky.
The question of what had happened quickly became clear.
Marie’s sword was imbued with magic.
But that’s not all.
The sword was surrounded by water.
Was that Aqua!?
The magical aura enveloping the sword disappeared after a few seconds, and the water dripped onto the ground.
She had enchanted the sword with magic, using Aqua.
In other words.
“A- A magic sword…!?”
I let out a surprised exclamation.
The first time I used Bolt, I realized I could shape magical energy.
Now, I can create somewhat complex forms with magic, but the idea of transforming magical energy itself, imbuing it onto a substance, and then using magic, never occurred to me.
And for a good reason.
Because I don’t use any kind of weapons.
While Raika can be used for direct attacks, it’s primarily a magical tool for spellcasting.
As someone who doesn’t possess basic weapons, I never considered the idea of enchanting magic onto a weapon.
Ah, so Marie had been practicing this.
That’s why she would occasionally disappear on her own.
I noticed she was consistently using magical energy when she returned, realizing she must be practicing some form of magic.
But a magic sword?
It sent shivers down my spine.
This was the first magic Marie developed.
Someone other than me had created magic for the first time.
I felt a mix of joy, frustration, and envy.
What a beautifully crafted form.
The sword enveloped in water had an enchanting and natural quality.
“Sis! What a fantastic idea! It’s amazing!”
“Hehehe, thanks. It took a looong time!
I can finally show you! This… I forgot to give it a name.”
“It’s a magic sword, right!? Attribute enhancement, so it’s Enchant Aqua, isn’t it!?”
“Y-Yes! It’s a magic sword! Enchant? Aqua? That’s it!”
“A magic sword, huh!?
Gnngh! Don’t underestimate meeee!!”
Rapunzen advances towards Marie, seething with anger.
Boosted physical abilities make her unusually fast.
However, Marie responds in kind with Boost, matching the abnormal speed.
Marie takes Rapunzen’s attacks head-on.
Surprisingly, Rapunzen, the attacker, receives more damage.
Does the magic sword deal damage to demons just by touching them?
Upon further consideration, human magic is effective against magical creatures and demons, capable of purifying them. Therefore, it makes sense that Aqua imbued with magic would have a similar effect.
Hm? It feels like something is clicking.
Rapunzen’s hand, touched by the sword, suffered damage beyond purification.
Just by touching Aqua.
Despite Marie’s limited magical power, there’s a notable reaction.
Could it be that Rapunzen has a weakness to water?
She manipulates rocks, suggesting an earth or rock attribute.
If her opposite attribute is water?
It’s worth trying.
I cast Aqua Bullet without incantation.
Magic power: 10,000.
The power is not exceptionally high, but casting without incantation allows for immediate activation.
The released water bullet was absorbed into Rapunzen’s back.
“Gua!!”
The water bullet disappears upon impact with Rapunzen.
It caused pain, but it didn’t seem to penetrate deeply.
It’s equivalent to the power of a reinforced air gun.
For an impromptu move, it yielded satisfactory results.
Using fusion magic would likely have a more significant effect.
However, Aqua is not suitable for creating in this narrow hall.
Collecting atmospheric moisture makes the created Aqua very small.
“Bastard!! I won’t forgive you anymore!!
No more holding back!! I’ll finish you off here!!”
Rapunzen’s magic power significantly increases.
Precisely, there’s no change in the total amount of magical power, but it signifies the release of consistently emitted magical power.
Her magical power has not diminished by one-tenth.
Despite some injuries, merely defeating her won’t be enough.
The real battle starts now.
