Heavenly Magician
Chapter 12: The Emergence of the Crystal Monsters

"What kind of forest is this?"

I was currently in a forest near the point where the crystal monster appeared.

Where should I look for him.

It's better if I just find the nearest village from here.

As always. I focused my strength on sense to search for the nearest village.

There are. Less than a kilometer

With my strong physical strength, it only took me five minutes to get there.

"What's going on!?"

Is this because of that crystal monster.

The damage was worse than the village that the dragon attacked first.

When I was still dumbfounded to see the ruins of that building. Suddenly, an iron clash sounded.

Someone is fighting there.

Without a second thought, I ran to the source of the sound.

When I arrived, I saw some people fighting a strange horn beetle-shaped monster that was the size of an adult elephant.

That armor.

Are they knights of the Elchea Kingdom.

What the hell is that crystal monster.

I took out a katana and glory from [Strogest] and charged straight towards the monster.

When I cut him. There was no reaction from the monster.

"What the fuck!? His skin is hard. Then try this."

~(Fire ball Rain)~

Hundreds of round ball-sized flames shot down from the sky just above the monster.

The fire struck the monster and exploded violently, but when the dust of the explosion disappeared. There was not the slightest scar from the monster's skin.

"Whata!? Not even magic."

Physical and magic attacks did not work on him.

If the outer skin is hard, it must be softer inside.

So he must have a weak spot that was easily visible.

"Wait first. What is that."

A pearl was hidden in his chest.The pearl was emitting an extremely viscous blood red light.

What it is is the core of his monster.

But how to destroy it. I can't even hurt his skin

"You. How dare you kill my husband. I'm gonna kill you."

A young Knight was seen while angry at this moment. He stared intently at the monster as if he wanted to eat it.

After gazing sadly at the man lying lifelessly in his arms. He picked up the staff beside him and started chanting.

She's a witch too.

"I know that this won't hurt you. But I'll bet all my mana on this one attack."

~Holy Lightning Punishment~

Suddenly in the clear sky transverse, a streak of lightning appeared.

The sky began to fill with white laity that seemed to be gathering at one point.

From that cloud, a pure white lightning struck simultaneously and hit the monster.

What is holy magic.

For a few seconds the lightning continued to strike furiously before it finally disappeared.

"Hah Hah Hah. How!?"

The Knight's voice was already heavy as he had almost consumed all of his mana.

His sight also began to blur. Even to stand up he was very troubled.

For a witch to run out of mana is a world catastrophe. Therefore every witch is taught to leave ten percent of her mana to survive.

But it seemed like the Knight no longer cared about his own life.

The lightning bolt had already disappeared slowly. It left a monster still standing still on the spot.

Garruuhhh

The monster returned.

"How is it possible."

The magician was desperate when he saw that the monster he attacked with all his might did not sustain any fatal injuries.

Realize that his efforts were in vain. She sat on the ground with a sad face as she stared for a long time at the corpse of her husband.

"I'm sorry, honey. I can't take your revenge. But relax, I'll catch up with you soon. So we can stay together." Said the woman with a stiff smile accompanied by abundant tears.

"You can't avenge your husband. But you also should never think of catching up with him in this way."

I approached the woman.

He looked at me with weak eyes.

He's out of mana.

"Your husband definitely doesn't want you to catch up with him in this way."

I cast magic on him to restore his mana and physique.

After that I went from there and approached towards the monster.

The attack did not cause fatal injuries. But his attack gave me a way to finish him off.

The tears that were all over the monster's body did not disappear at all.

It indicates that holy magic can have a little effect on him.

"Can you channel that holy magic to me." I asked the woman.

"could. But for what?"

"I will kill the monster for you, but it seems like only holy magic affects it."

The woman seemed to understand what I was explaining.

He approached me by starting to hold my shoulder to channel holy magic.

So this is holy magic. I've never learned it so I don't know.

After getting enough mana. I started chanting a spell.

The woman also started to stay away from me.

Just like before. White clouds carrying lightning began to gather above the sky.

The difference is now I can control it. Unlike before whose lightning shots are erratic. Now I can focus the firing point.

~Holy Lightning Punishment~

As soon as the lightning shot sharply towards the monster's chest.

The hard skin that protected him could not withstand another attack. The skin began to crack slightly until it was finally pierced.

Grruhhrr

The monster began to roar in pain before finally falling to the ground.

Looking at the monster fragment I kept quiet to make sure he was dead.

"Done."

While I was still breathing. There are several Elchea Kingdom Knights approaching me.

"thank you. But if you know who you are?" One of the knights asked me.

"I'm just a passing adventurer."

Those Knights seemed to understand that I didn't want to talk too much, so they didn't ask anymore either

"Thank you for the help. Mr. adventurer."

"That's not a problem. Take your friend's body and go home."

"We'll do it."

I stared at the female witch earlier and nodded lightly before I finally ran again into the forest.

"Where are you Shin?" Hana asked as she looked at me.

"I just went on a guild mission."

"All right."

"Why are your expressions like that." I said that because all the girls' faces were pouting.

"We had wanted to ask Liora about her relationship with you but she said that she must have permission from her master first." Miku immediately pouted again after saying that.

After hearing Miku's words, I immediately looked at Liora who I thought was really like an ordinary girl.

"LIORAA" My voice was a little big as if I was yelling at someone else, and Liora and the girls immediately looked at me.

"Good Job" I said as I pulled out my two thumbs towards Liora.

"Thank you, my lord." He smiled at me when he said that.

"Shinnn!?" Miku immediately looked at me with an angry look and also accompanied by the gaze of another girl.

"What's up. Why are your gazes getting worse?"

"Why are you talking like that?"

"No-no. Nothing, I'm just kidding." I said that while smiling awkwardly.

I can't tell them that Liora kissed me earlier on that floating island.

"Hmm." Miku was angry.... But a moment later he started to calm down and looked at me then let out a long sigh.

"Now you can explain all this to Shin."

"All right." I took a few breaths and looked at them.

I sat down beside Liora and in front of the girls I opened my mouth.

"As I said earlier her name is Preliora. He's the keeper of the Floating Island of Babylon."

"What is Floating Island Babel?" Miku asked me.

"I forgot. Liora, what was that?" I asked liora because I forgot.

"Heir? Hm. Then who is the heir to the floating island now?" Airi asked Liora while holding her chin which indicated that she was still confused.

"The heir to the Floating Island of Babylon is now the master of Tatsuya Shin." When I said that. Liora also looked at me with a sweet smile.it made me misbehave.

"The heir is Shin." They were all shocked after hearing that.

"wait. Why Shin?" Hana now asked.

"Physician regina Babylon can look to the future. That's when he saw Mr. Shin and finally he decided to leave the Floating Island Babel for me to take care of because he was sure his heir would come pick it up someday."

"Hm. So it is." Miku replied calmly while sipping tea.

"If you were created a thousand years ago, you would be a thousand years old." Airi asked with a curious expression.

"really. I'm a thousand years old." He answered it casually.

"Why are you still functioning today?"

"I'm still working because I'm using Doctor technology. But I don't know the details either."

"Shins. Can we see what Floating Island Babylon looks like." Rin who had just quietly heard with Kyou and Ryou immediately expressed his wishes to me.

"I think anytime ya."

"Why. Don't you want to show it to us." Miku was immediately angry with me.

"Not that. It's just because it's night."

"Hahhh!?"

They all looked directly at the window as I said that. When they looked at the sky, it was already completely dark.

"I didn't even realize it was night."

"I'm also brother."

Kyou and Ryou muttered both as they looked at the window.

➖➖➖➖➖

Next day. I went for a walk in the capital to accompany the girls shopping.

If Rin, Kyou and Ryou say that they want to take the quest in the guild to earn money and raise the rank.

"Shins. How about we go to that shirt shop." Miku directly pointed at a clothes shop at the crossroads.

"alright. Let's go in."

We walked into the store called 'banri fashion store' and when I arrived inside the store, I saw the person I knew very well, the owner of the shop, Mr. Banri.

"Hi sir. We haven't seen each other in a long time." He excitedly greeted me.

"Oh yeah. It's been a long time, Mr. Banri."

When I still see Mr. Banri. Airi pulled my sleeve and whispered.

"Shins. Do you know him?"

"Let's just calm.he's my friend and he's also a good person." I smiled at Airi.

"Then it's good." Airi let out a sigh of relief.

Was he scared.

"Why are you here. Is there anything I can help you with?" Mr. Banri asked me.

"We just want to shop."

"alright. Then will I show you a nice dress for Mr Shin, and miss?" He looked at the girls as he stopped talking.

"Please."

After an hour they looked around. They finally decided what to buy.

They choose clothes that ordinary girls wear so that they are not too flashy, they do not want to be asked people later if others know they are a Princess.

We are now in the restaurant for breakfast because I did not have breakfast this morning because they took me when I planned to have breakfast.

Finish eating. We decided to go home because I was exhausted too.

By the time we got home, there were already Kyou, Ryou and Rin.

"You're home already "Ryo welcomes us.

"Yes. Oh yea. We bought you clothes." Miku gave her bag to the three of them.

"For us too!?"

➖➖➖➖➖

"Why is this so hard but when it's dead it's so fragile."

Right now I was behind the house looking at the skin of the monster yesterday, while looking at it, I suddenly thought of a hypothesis.

Something very strong yet suddenly became fragile like glass. Is it a coincidence or does anyone give them power.

Like a device that works with electricity. It could be like that too.

When I channel my magic and throw it on the floor. The skin was not destroyed at all.

Thas right.

The brain can only be fought with the brain as well, meaning the monster's hard skin can be fought with its own skin.

Then wouldn't it be good to be able to make a weapon with this very hard skin.

I took out some skin and cast a [Crafting] spell to make a sword and add a [Gravity] spell to adjust the weight.

"What a beautiful sword."

As I was looking at the meticulousness of my work, suddenly telepathy from Kougyoku that I ordered searched for information on where the crystal monster came from.

"My lord."

"What is Kougyoku?"

"I saw that crystal monster in the east of my master Horn Kingdom. They also destroyed two villages."

"How much?"

"About twenty of my masters."

"Many too!?"

"What should my master do?"

"Stay watch over the monster and save it if anyone is in danger!"

"As you wish, my lord."

When the telepathy stopped.

I directly opened the gate to the Kingdom of Freedom because I had never gone to the Horn Kingdom.

I can't take Kougyoku's vision either because only his subordinates can take it.

"My. I'll go for a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"There's an emergency I have to deal with right now."

"All right then. Be careful Shin."

I waved my hand and went straight into the gate.

➖➖➖➖➖

When I arrived at the Kingdom of Freedom, I started running towards the Horn Kingdom.

Horn Kingdom is a kingdom in the eastern continent that has always been an enemy of the Dark Kingdom who hates it because of different beliefs.

It was because of this difference in belief that the Kingdom split and created the present Horn Kingdom.

After running for a few minutes

I arrived at the place and immediately saw a monster that had ravaged a village.

"Sir" Kougyoku darted and stood on my shoulders.

"Where did the inhabitants go?"

"The residents have long been displaced because a few hours ago there was an earthquake here sir."

"so."

I was chatting with my kougyoku. The monster began to realize our existence and started crashing.

I took out the crystal sword I made yesterday and ran towards him.

When I was right in front of him, I immediately jumped up and pierced the core of the monster, and instantly the monster did not move anymore.

"His strength!?"

I chose to finish this as soon as possible rather than anyone seeing me and ended up asking again.

It took a few minutes to complete, and finally.

"I'm exhausted." I sat exhausted in the ruins of the destroyed house while lamenting the fragments of the monster.

It can't be that easy to kill him.

Although the two materials are the same and clash at the same time. It was impossible for his skin to lose to a sword so easily.

There must be something different about this monster from the monster I faced yesterday.

Or maybe the monster was a little higher class than this.

"Sir. What are we gonna do with this splinter?" Kougyoku who was standing on my shoulder asked.

"I'll keep it."

"All right, my lord."

After a short break, I finally decided to go home.

When I got home, I immediately fell on the bed, but when I was going to sleep because of fatigue, my head suddenly buzzed.

"Hello Shin's. Are you all right?"

"Yes. I'm fine, why did the God of the Universe contact me?"

"There's something I want to tell you. Can you come here?"

"What talk?"

"What seems to be confusing you these few days. I want to talk about that."

Which confuses me.

"alright. I'll be there."

"I'll wait."

I closed my call and directly moved to the God Realm.
