Return of the Class 8 Mage
59. unexpected benefits (2)

*BANG! Cracks.....*

The table where the gems were stored was destroyed by the spear of that skeletal warrior. That huge spear worked more like a hammer than a spear.

"Can I kill him?"

(Again, he's not a living creature. Furthermore, he seemed to be soulless now. You can attack it without hesitation.)

Originally, the main part of the skeletal warriors was their spirit.

And this skeleton doesn't even have a soul in it.

"I understand. Then, thank you."

(What?)

"I have nowhere else to attack him, haha."

(....)

The amount of mana consumption for the Dragon Chant was still too much for Ian to handle. He risked his mana because he trusted the Fairy Queen's loyalty to the dragons. However, he did not expect the Dragon Chant to take down the skeletal warrior.

"Hold for me as long as you can. I'll return my mana as much as I can."

(Huh! I am the most precious servant among my master's servants. It's easy for me to destroy a soulless skeleton warrior!)

The Fairy Queen rose up arrogantly.

He's as strong as Ian.

His arrogance makes sense.

"Phew."

Ian drank the last half of the potion he had. Then, he quickly stepped back and focused on mana breathing. His mana regeneration speed was faster than the others. He might be able to join in quickly.

*SURPRISE!*

The lightning sound from the Fairy Queen shook the basement violently. Most fairies were born to specialize in 'light-type magic'.

And lightning is a branch of light-type magic.

(Soulless bone servant, you picked the wrong enemy today!)

This was the first time she had seen the Fairy Queen's fight scene.

(You must be really crazy. You dare try to challenge me, you senseless creature?)

And the first impression is pretty simple.

Unlike her appearance which was like a pretty angel,

'Speaking a lot.'

With that tiny body, he tweeted out noisily, and smashed it with a violent lightning magic. Thankfully that this skeletal warrior was soulless; otherwise, his fight would stimulate his anger.

"Gerrr.......!"

(Ah ha, you can't say anything because you don't have a soul, right? So relieving. I hate the slow speed of your poetry conversations, after all. May you remain soulless!)

Regardless of his noisy fighting style, his fighting skills were superior. Instead of shield magic, he dodged his attacks with his fast flying skills, similar to Helene's.

'Actually, the queen is much more eloquent than she is.'

Natural born agility and reaction speed, using the advantages of his small, and powerful body 6

lightning magic class. That could be Helene's ideal destination.

(Huh, at least your body is tough!)

But even the Fairy Queen had her own limitations. To be exact, it was not a fair match for him. The skeletal warrior was extremely powerful as one of the dragon families, and never got tired.

"Geeerrrr....!"

(Fall you stupid guard!)

On the other hand, the Fairy Queen did not have a good method to deal a heavy blow to the skeletal warrior's hard bones. Unfortunately, they were fighting under the dungeon, so there were only a few lightning magic allowed to be casted. So Ian is the key man to this fight.

(Man! Do somethin!)

"Aren't you full of confidence a few minutes ago?"

(If I fought outside, it would have already become dust!)

As a queen, she tried not to lose her pride. After a long sigh, Ian checked his mana. More time was needed to fill it up completely, but he had enough time to use some good spells.

'I better finish it with one punch.'

It was the best solution for that tireless skeletal warrior. Although her armor and bones were unusually hard, but the previous Fairy Queen's attack definitely left some damage to her.

'The best spell I can use with this amount of mana.'

A spell that could quickly defeat that raging skeletal warrior, Ian was thinking about it. Only a few seconds later, he could remember one.

"Queen."

(Why did you call? I'm busy now!)

"I'll do something, be prepared to avoid it."

(What...!)

That was the last conversation.

Ian started to move.

First, a powerful frozen energy ensnared the skeletal warrior's legs. It would not be able to hold the skeleton for long due to its abnormal strength, but that moment was enough for Ian.

"Cone,"

Ian immediately cast another ice-type spell.

In the air, a giant cone-shaped ice formed. Its enormous size makes the room look small.

"Its."

Ice Cone.

It was the name of Ian's chosen spell

Giant ice cones flew to the skeletal warriors. Instead of penetrating, it was trying to destroy the skeletal warriors

*Grrrrr!*

Soon the giant block of ice shattered the skeleton. Not only did it destroy it, but it also pushed the skeleton and began to smash the wall behind the skeletal warrior. The skeleton tried to escape from the collision between the ice block and the wall behind it, but did not have enough strength for it.

"Pantshell! Pants!"

After Ian chanted the chain of spells, he breathed roughly.

He quickly consumed the mana he had regenerated in a hurry.

It was a natural reaction from his body.

(Y, you're a savage.)

"Not yet."

However, Ian's spell was not over yet.

After she beckoned the nagging Fairy Queen to stay away,

"Ice Bomb."

After he chanted the spell by flicking his finger,

*BANG! BE AWKWARD! BANBANGS!*

The ice cone began to explode.

Quickly, Ian cast a shield spell to guard her and the Fairy Queen from her shards.

(You completely destroyed it.)

"That's what you'd do if we weren't in the basement."

(I won't deny that.)

Ian wasn't trying to curry favor with the Fairy Queen. If they stood outside, the Fairy Queen would summon countless thunderbolts from the sky, but after all, Ian's magic was impressive. With limited places and mana, he destroyed the skeleton warrior very efficiently.

(Let's go further. As the skeletal warrior emerged from the other side, perhaps on that side, there might be.).

Their master, whom he and his tribe had been waiting for for over hundreds of years, was mainly the owner of the Dragon Song book.

(Sir, Laden Zu.)

The Fairy Queen went first to the end of the hall.

He looked twice as excited now.

(Mr Laden Zu!)

With excitement and hope, the Fairy Queen shouted.

With a shout they arrived at the end of the alley.

(.....)

It was an old living room.

There are beds, tables, bookshelves, and stationery.

Alchemical devices and burning lanterns.

'Thick dust is there.'

Ian was quite investigating the room.

Thick dust and discoloration due to age are observed.

It has not been used for centuries.

At least decades,

"Maybe hundreds of years."

The Fairy Queen also admitted it. Since he did not find what he expected, he became depressed quickly.

"It must have let you down."

(Huh! I screamed in case he still lived here.)

He has enough energy to take care of himself.

No worries needed for him.

(Examine it carefully. Maybe there's something here.)

Ian strongly agreed. The situation was saying that the dragon, or something similar had most likely stayed here for a while. There might be an important clue to translating the Dragon Song.

"Huh?"

And soon, Ian could find one of the clues. On the table, there was a diary, with a simple memo like the first time I found the Dragon Song book.

[You reached this level, really?]

[I don't know you, but I'm impressed.]

[I'll give you some awards for this.]

As before, the memo was written like a mischievous child's trick.

*burn!*

And it burned like before.

'Present, huh?'

(What is this?)

"Gift."

(Gift?)

The Fairy Queen asked because she did not see the memo.

Without an answer, Ian opened the diary.

'Another Dragon's song maybe?'

That doesn't.

The content is not Dragon Chanting.

It was written in a letter that Ian could read.

'Rome?"

The diary was full of complicated and long formulas.

Amazingly, it seems that whole milk is about one single formula.

(Hmm, that's a human formula.)

The diary is small and thin. However, considering it was about one spell formula, it was unique. There is no such thing as a long and complicated spell. Even the incredible 8

class spells don't have this much length for a formula.

(It seems complicated enough, can you do it?)

"Hm."

Ian could not answer easily the Fairy Queen's question. This was the first time he had seen this nonsense formula. But, uh,

'Layak try.'

As a magician representing a human witch, and curiosity as one of the witches he is challenged. Ian was born to do this. He never wanted to be defeated by magic.

"Every time I remake my mana, let's try it straight away."

(Live?)

"It's not impossible."

Dragon Song Book and diary. A memo that plays tricks. Ian felt strongly that he was being played with by someone's plans, but Ian would generally come into play.

'Playing together is precious.'

According to the Fairy Queen, the one who planned this must be a dragon. It was a trick planned by a legendary creature that was the beginning of magic.

'By the way, I can't even guess about this formula.'

Generally, formulas have their own unique features. And a great mage like Ian could easily guess the purpose of the formula by looking at the formula. But this formula was completely beyond his knowledge.

'It's a complete mess.'

With a click of his tongue, Ian finished reading the diary.

After repeatedly reading the diary, Ian could memorize the formula.

(Yawnn.....! When are you going to start? Is it possible to do it today?)

After a long wait, the Fairy Queen asked while yawning.

"Now."

Ian closed the diary.

He collected enough mana.

And he memorized the formula completely.

He deserves the title, the strongest man in the world.

"No mistake."

After drawing enough mana into his brain, his brain began to calculate the formula. Ian did not allow one mistake and pause. Those are the basics of magic.

'With fast.'

Stimulating his brain, he began to read the formula.

Soon, it started to bring out results.

The attractive golden light started to spread.

*Weeeeeng – !*

With a slight vibration, a golden light appeared.

It was released only for a short moment, about ten seconds.

"...."

That'sthat's all.

No more effects.

Ian could not feel the difference.

'What?'

Of course, the formula works well.

Ian felt it, and where it was consumed.

But no effect or change has occurred?

Suddenly,

(H, man?)

The Fairy Queen called out to Ian in a trembling and embarrassed voice. Curiously, Ian looked at her.

".... What are you doing?"

What the Fairy Queen did was incredible. The Fairy Queen who used to call Ian 'human' haughtily, now bowed to Ian while shaking his body.

(I, I don't know. K, why why ...).

The Fairy Queen was also embarrassed.

(I feel the power of the household from you ...?)

"Household power? What'sthat?"

Ian had never heard of that word.

(Only masters can apply such rules to us ..... But how can you, a human being ..?)

"Queen."

(H, how do you ..)

"stand."

With her words, the Fairy Queen quickly stood up.

"And bow again."

(Y, you dare!)

He was angry at Ian's orders.

But he couldn't resist.

His body automatically bowed.

"Now I understand."

Ian made a big smile.

Now he understands.

"Silent. I just did some experiments."

(E, experiment ...?)

Ian felt something different from the Fairy Queen.

It's hard to explain.

'I feel more like he is under my control.'

Ian could not think of a suitable expression.

"I think that's all I need. Let's go, queen."

(S, stop! Explain it!)

Although he shouted, his body followed Ian.

There was no 'authority to reject Ian' for him.

“As I promised, I'll bring the gems to your nest. 70 percent, actually, I'll give it all to you. I guess I can think of it now as my safe storage.

(ED Note: GG fairies under MC)

Ian was full of confidence.

Now, Ian did not give away the gems as a trade.

It's more like he ordered her to keep it safe.

"Instead, I won't ask for fairy eggs."

(.....!)

The Fairy Queen could not say anything more.

He could expect what Ian would say.

"You come with me, and protect my family, directly."

(I can't! I have to protect my tribe's nest.).

"I know fairies can communicate with each other even over long distances. Every time your tribe's nest is in danger, we'll go there soon, so it's fine."

The word self-defense Fairy Queen was ineffective.

(Y, you can't do this! You have promised .....!)

"But you also asked me the Dragon Song book."

(But I canceled my request, didn't I?)

"You canceled it because it was outside of your plan. Similarly, unless my plan is wrong, I want to ask you to protect my family."

(Eic! Man you dare.!).

"Let's travel quietly."

(....)

He can't say anything.

'Household Master' wants it.

"It's nice to have a quiet time."

While enjoying the quiet peace, Ian walked out of the basement, followed by the resentful Fairy Queen.

As Ian had expected, he gained many unexpected benefits.
