The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch.9
The three magic books he bought from the system shop came out of the inventory. He began to read it, and understood what was written on paper in the book.
Unlike other worlds, from the beginning this world was formed. This world has been filled with so much and dense magic energy. And every day, the density is getting bigger, making it easier for many people to use magic.
To everyone in this world, magic was no longer a strange thing. Everything can be accepted by their common sense, because all of this is common.
The magic energy on the bodies of living things had spread through the blood feathers, and it was circulating throughout the body fused with blood.
To control it, you need a high level of focus, or maximum concentration. Not only controlling, but also understanding the flow of magic within.
What the flow of magic was like, was it like a water flowing with the flow. Or like the vast sea water but very calm not shaken by anything. Or it flows freely like the wind.
From the book he read, breathing is also very important for the stability of compaction and magic control.
When you think calmly, then you can imagine the magic that you want to use easily as you imagine it.
Currently, Xi was imagining a magic missile. He had thought of the concept in his head.
Magic streams from his body flowed quietly, starting to envelop his hands with magic energy. Simultaneously, the mana in his palm united, and began to condense themselves into a sphere, a magic missile.
The size is not large, only as big as a small ball. However, it emitted a bright light, and it looked clear untainted by anything. The white light continued to shine endlessly from the finished magic missile in his palm.
Xi opened his eyes, and saw the results he had achieved.
"Ja so... This is magic missile? Tier 1 magic. Like this is strong enough to crush a rock."
He expressed his opinion regarding the magic missile he made. As the one who tidied it up, Xi knew just how much, and how dense the magic energy was inside. And he was sure, with the magic missile in his hand, that he could crush a stone, or even damage an iron armor.
"For a warrior, magic is considered by them to be the act of a coward. However, you do not need to think about it, because the opinions of others are not worth the life you want to protect. It's very important to add confidence, because if you can't believe in yourself, who should you trust? To someone else? Hmmmm. That's bad."
"Before believing in others, it is better to believe in yourself. In life and death situations, the trust you have given others can be painful for you. In this life, the account will struggle to become stronger with my own abilities. This hand, someday in the future will definitely be stained with blood."
He's holding. The magic missile was in his hand. Grasping it, and it then disappeared into a grain of mana.
In life, whatever it is, Xi is always confident in himself, and always confident in himself. Although it was impossible, but he believed it could. A word that was in his mind was Effort will not betray results.
Take the other two books that are on the table. It was a book about the magic spell he bought from the system shop, namely Flame and Water.
These two elements are the most common in this world. All magicians, even the lowest of abilities, can use them.
Because Flame and Water are very common tier 1 magic, as well as easy to learn. When a magician can master one of them, for example it is Flame/fire. He can develop his again into a more powerful fire magic, for example like the Fire Ball.
Fire Ball is a second tier magic that is also commonly used. Moreover, it was clear his strength was slightly above ordinary Flame magic. Moreover, Fire Ball can be used to attack, especially long-range attacks.
The day he spent in his room. He read all the magic books he could buy at the moment with the remaining Gold remains. Although quite a lot, but Xi has managed to master all that. Now, he can use magic spells freely.
In order to test his magic abilities, today he decided to take out a Quest in the Adventurers Guild.
Arriving at the Adventurers Guild, Xi stood in front of the Quest board to retrieve a Quest suitable for him.
'The average Quest for basic adventurers was simply a Quest collecting herbs. My goal came here to take a suitable Quest to test my abilities. Of course, collecting herbs was not suitable hmmm...'
He's thinking. While looking through all the papers that were on that board. There was a paper that was his concern.
Xi picked it up, then delivered the paper to the receptionist's desk.
"I want to take on this Mission." Xi said to the receptionist.
Glanced at the paper Xi put on her desk. He saw it was a rodent cleaning/extermination mission in the city. Cleaning Rat Got.
In that mission, all the adventurers are allowed to take it. Although Xi was only a basic rank adventurer, but he was also able to take on the mission.
Cap is given. And the mission was approved by him.
"Okay, please sir. Be careful when running it, I heard that there were some adventurers injured in the fight against the rats."
"I understand, I'll be careful."
After getting his approval, Xi immediately took the paper and took it with him to the location.
It is located inside a large underground sewer in the city of Aiter.
Arriving at the underground sewer, there was a very pungent and unpleasant smell. It is the foul smell of sewage, such as dirty water, and sewage.
"I had expected this, fortunately I had already prepared it."
Since his sense of smell was now so sharp, this kind of stench would obviously go straight into his nose. Therefore, Xi covered it up rather than him being distracted by this stench.
Not long ago in the gutter. His arrival, has been welcomed by the rats that live in it.
[Enemy detected, Got Rat comes attacking]
"Without you even telling me I can see it."
"A lot, but it's not a problem. I've been through situations like this, but now and then are different. [Magic Missile]"
Magic Bullet Xi fired towards the crowd of Got Rats who were about to attack him. The three magic bullets he fired all hit the target. And from that, as from the rat got that approached her had been killed by a magic bullet.
Even if half of them are dead. However, the mice did not retreat, but rather they advanced faster to attack Xi, even though they knew it would not work.
"[Magic Missile]"
Several Magic Missile Xi fired back to finish off the remaining Got Rat. And according to his calculations, they were all defeated.
[Beating the Got Rat, 20 exp and 5 Gold earned]
[Beating the Got Rat, 20 exp and 5 Gold earned]
[Beating the Got Rat, 20 exp and 5 Gold earned]
[Beating the Got Rat, 20 exp and 5 Gold in.].
More notifications to get it.
"I won't protest about the exp and gold I get less. It was a fact, they were weaker than Termites and Goblins."
"But it doesn't matter, my purpose here isn't for that. But just to test my magic skills. Turns out, I'm pretty good at using it too."
Praising himself.
After being satisfied with the results. Xi approached the bodies of the rats and cut them. And true according to what he thought, some of these rats kept low-level Monster Cores.
He took it, and then put all the cores he could into the inventory. There were about 137 low-level Monster Cores in his inventory. Plus the 7 he got now, it became a 144 Monster Core.
In this world Monster Core is usually used as material for making magic weapons and also Potions/herbs.
They would first refine the Monster Core into powder like flour. Then put it into the fireplace as an aid to supply additional magic in the manufacture of magic weapons, or potions.
Uses, to increase the success rate of something that is being made or done. Although not much, and not everyone uses it, but it is quite helpful. At least the chances of success in forging, and concoction making increased slightly.
Besides being used to help increase the success rate, Core Monsters can also be used to exchange some food for traders, or sell it at market prices, and used as a decoration for a dress.
There is no addition of anything even if it is used for decoration of the dress. There is no addition of protection like a magic shield, but it only adds to the quality and beauty of a dress.
For ordinary citizens, Monster Cores would usually be kept and guarded carefully. They do that as savings for them at any time they run out of money, or have to pay taxes on the state.
Core Monsters were very useful to ordinary citizens, yet were commonplace to nobles, and high-level adventurers. Because they have a lot of money to meet their daily needs.
Xi walked forward tracing the large sewers of the city. Far enough he walked but did not find any rats living in this sewer. He wondered why the rats did not show up, but before they were very enthusiastic.
"Since they won't show up, then I'll make them appear now."
Xi threw a few bottles filled with red liquid. And the scent of the liquid quickly spread widely in the large gutter after the bottle broke.
Note: The Got Rat in this world has a keen sense of smell, as sharp as a wolf. They are very aggressive, when they smell blood. In fact, they are carnivores that hunt living things that are in the gutter. In addition to their neighbors, they will hunt other creatures, which are in their territory. Got rats are also smart enough, they will build a small dam to lock up the fish they catch alive and store them there. In order, the fish can breed, and they will eat when the fish are grown.
The smell of blood spread very quickly throughout the sewer lines of the big underground city, the smell was smelled by the rats.
In a small tunnel in a large sewer, hundreds of rats gathered there had noticed the pungent smell of blood. One of the hundreds of rats has a size large enough among others. Its length is approximately 35 centimetres.
That's a big size for a class of rodents like them.
"YYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
He shouted loudly. That shout was an order to the other rats.
The order given is to investigate the smell of blood scattered in the gutter and immediately find where it is located.
"This time, we're eating big!" That's what the leader has in mind.
