The Black and White Magic Knights
Defeat the Fire-tailed Lion and the Lake where

Notification, for the next form of magic energy is changed into magic attributes and magic energy is changed so where yes

Kuzo stood up and looked around, not long after he saw from afar the fire-tailed Lion he had fainted, had already woken up and was running towards him. Seeing that, Kuzo smiled and said in his heart.Hmm? a very fitting time, let's try one or two things I got from the world of souls'

On the other hand Serina who saw the Lion was crying and screaming in fear while shouting "sister Kuzo, let's quickly run away the lion is pointing here"

Seeing Kuzo who did not respond to his words and remained standing still, Serina resigned and closed her eyes and covered her ears with both hands

Then Kuzo ran towards the Fire-tailed Lion while pulling his sword and adding a black flame to the blade, Kuzo pointed the tip of his sword towards the head of the fire-tailed lion at the side shouting "black flame stab" Kuzo also shot at high speed, as a result Kuzo managed to hole the Lion with a fire tail and topple it easily after which he said "it turns out that it's a little hard to stabilize my control after the soul world"

After that Kuzo turned around and approached Serina who was still silent in fear, Kuzo then directly touched Serina's shoulder and said "Serina you can open your eyes now"

After Serina opened her eyes, how shocked was she to see the fire-tailed Lion whose head had already been hollowed out 'uh.what just happened? The lion is dead? Did brother Kuzo just kill him?' there were many questions Serina asked in her heart

Because Serina was so curious, Serina finally asked Kuzo "Sister Kuzo what just happened? Was it brother Kuzo who killed the lion just now?

"Yes, I can kill this lion, because I suddenly gained a bit of power from the boulder when I passed out earlier" Kuzo said in a grown-up tone

"So, my sister Kuzo is great" Serina said, but in her heart Serina said 'there is something strange, why Kuzo's attitude and tone are different than before, also why suddenly he could kill the lion so easily, whereas before we had to desperately run in order to escape his pursuit, actually what little power he meant earlier. Hmm. I was wondering what really happened to her when she fainted earlier'

At that time Kuzo tore up the flesh of the fire-tailed lion to look for the cores inside his body, not long after Kuzo found them, it turns out that monster cores are stored in their hearts. Kuzo immediately put the core into his mouth and then swallowed it without Serina knowing, and Kuzo felt that his physical strength and energy were increasing, especially the amount of magic energy in his body also increased drastically

'hem. was kind, with this my strength as well as the amount of magic energy increased slightly and also there were no signs of side effects or poisoning as well, meaning that the teacher (Derion) said was right, too, good with this I can increase the amount of my magic energy bit by bit and slowly develop into stronger ' Kuzo said in his heart

Serina walked up to Kuzo and asked "sister why are you daydreaming? Is something wrong?"

Kuzo replied with a grown-up tone like "it's okay there's nothing wrong, but did you hurt Serina?

"I wasn't hurt, just a little bit surprised" Serina said

"Well then, let's continue our journey back" Kuzo said

"Umm.ayo" said Serina.

After that they took the items they had brought before and then continued their journey through the misty forest so that they could continue towards the Elf village

As they trek through the misty forest, Kuzo kills the magic monsters that attempt to attack them on the way and takes and eats the cores unnoticed by Serina, this makes Kuzo stronger little by little every day, Serina who sees Kuzo getting stronger is suspicious and makes her even more wondering about what really happened to Kuzo

'actually what has happened to Brother Kuzo? Why does he feel like he is being someone different? Did I just ask him directly? Serina in the heart

"Hmm..sister Kuzo can I ask you something?" Serina Sayings

"Yes, you want to ask me what Serina is?" Kuzo Said

"Why is sister so different from before?" Ask Serina

"What do you mean different from before Serina?" Kuzo Said

"Well, before Brother Kuzo was not like this, now you are so calm when facing something dangerous and your behavior and attitude also looks like an adult after you fainted at that time. What exactly happened when you fainted near a shining boulder back then, brother?" Serina asked seriously

'I think I'm making this kid worried, but what's more, right now my soul and mind are three years older than mine, it seems that what teacher Derion said was right in the soul world that it seems like I will grow up prematurely. But seeing Serina so worried, it seems like I have to give back a little of my childish nature, Kuzo said in his heart

After that Kuzo stroked Serina's head while smiling and said "what did you say Serina? I acted like this because I was wary of wild animals only. Didn't I tell you before that I gained a bit of strength from that shining boulder before when I fainted, because I became a little stronger, because I became a little stronger, I want to be more vigilant around us so that something bad doesn't happen again. So don't worry I haven't changed I'm still the one you've known all along"

"That's it, thank goodness then" said Serina

'it looks like he's still a bit worried, well at least I can lower his worries a bit with me smiling and saying a sentence like that. Huuh...it seems like I should behave according to my age from now on and not with the age of my soul or my mind' Kuzo said in his heart.

"A light? Was it a way out or was the stone shining like that time? Serina Sayings

"Let's go over there to see it" Kuzo said.

they approached the light and it turned out that the light was the way out of the fog forest

"Hm...we came out of the foggy forest? Does that mean the Elf village is not in the middle of this fog forest?" Kuzo Said

"It looks like that, we've been through this forest and there's no sign of my village, so maybe the Elf village isn't here" Serina said

"Then, let's continue our journey, so that we can quickly get to the Elf village" Kuzo said

"Umu.ayooo" said Serina with enthusiasm.

And just like that, they continued their journey towards the Elf village without any danger or any meaningful hindrance, five days passed and they found a lake as beautiful as a rainbow and rich in mana

"What a beautiful lake" said Serina with sparkling eyes when looking at the lake

"Well you're right, this lake is very beautiful like a rainbow and not only that it also has a very dense mana content in it" Kuzo said

"Hey brother can we rest here first? I beg you" Serina asked Kuzo

"Well, we can rest here first, especially we haven't cleaned our bodies properly since we were both in the foggy forest" Kuzo said

Serina was happy to yell" yey....."

"But stay alert around you, Serina, maybe there will be something that will pull you into the lake" Kuzo said

"Didn't scare me that way, now I'm afraid to approach the lake" Serina said with a scared face

"I didn't scare you, because of the density of the lake, there might be monsters hiding in it" Kuzo said

Suddenly Serina immediately sat down and made a gloomy facial expression

"Haaah.. alright then I will go to the lake first to check it, whether there are monsters or not" said Kuzo

"But what if there's a monster and it suddenly pulls you into the lake?" Serina said in a frightened tone

With a smile Kuzo said, "quietly, I'll be fine, don't you know that I'm strong"

"yes I know, but what if there's a very ferocious monster, inside the lake?" Ask Serina

Kuzo responded to Serina's question with a smile and then ran to the lake, saying "i went to check on her first, you don't go anywhere, okay?" Kuzo Said

"Hey, wait.." said Serina.

Kuzo ignored Serina's words and jumped straight into the lake, while inside the lake Kuzo unleashed his detection magic

'luckily I've learned detection magic while in the soul world, so I can detect danger as well as other things in the area around me' Kuzo said in his heart as he looked around the area around him

But a moment later Kuzo suddenly felt that there was something strange in the lake...To be continue

What is the strangeness that is meant? For those who are curious in waiting for the continuation of the story yes ( ⁇ )
