The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 96 - The Witch
In the end, Elin and I couldn't win anything. But it's not a bad thing for me. At least I began to understand my limits as a Player who did not rely on Summoning power.
A fact that I am very weak without the existence of my summoned monster. I realized because I was supposed to fight with a call monster. Even so….
“I want to become stronger, at least to protect myself without having to rely on others.” I said to myself.
Elin who was sitting next to me in this plane immediately replied to me.
“What did you say suddenly Erik?”
“I told you, I want to be stronger as a player. I don't want to rely too much on the power of Summoner.” My reply.
“You're a Summoner, Erik. It's only natural that you have to fight by utilizing the power of your summoned monsters. But if you want to be stronger…. Maybe you can practice being a witch.
If you only practiced matchmaking with Lucien, you wouldn't have progressed because the abilities of the two of you were so far adrift.” Obviously Elin at length.
“Practice as a witch?”
“Yes, you can ask Alice for help and enlightenment. After all, Alice was a pretty powerful witch.” Reply Elin.
‘Eh? Alice's a powerful witch? Isn't he a Teleporter?!’ Many confusion. It's only natural that my reflection of Alice is just a person whose job is to move things around every day.
“Alright, I'll call her later after taking Lucien with me.”

May 24, 2073.
The Kingdom of Salvation.
Royal Palace.
“Huh? You want to practice magic with me? What about your monster call?” Reply Alice with a slightly confused face.
“I beg you, Alice!” I said while bowing my body.
“Uh…. I really want to help you, Eric. But I'm still pretty busy with my work.”
But I still kept bowing to Alice. A few minutes passed and Alice seemed increasingly confused by this situation.
“Hah…. Okay, Eric. I will help you train the basics of how to fight as a witch. But after that, you have to practice by yourself. You understand?”
I quickly agreed and followed Alice. He used his teleportation magic as soon as I stood next to him. Lucien who had only been silent since then just kept following me.
A moment after that, my vision changed.
In front of me was a tree. No. gabe…. There were so many trees that I could see nothing.
“Alice? Where's this?”
“We will train in the Great Forest of Rodiria, east of the Selias Mountains, the territory of the Kingdom of Salvation.” Alice replied as she fiddled with the menu window before her. It seems that he replied to the various messages he received.
“Ah, so this forest is named Rodiria?”
“Yes, we'll practice here. Or rather you. I'll just teach you the basics.”
After that Alice taught me how to fight an aggressive type witch.
The first rule is to know that witches have high attack power but weak defense. Therefore, an aggressive fighting style was perfect for magicians. I have to put that in my head.
“Understanding? You've endured too much by using the Mana Shield. It was true that the Mana Shield could be useful for dodging the inevitable attacks. But that's all. You better receive damage and move to obtain strategic position.”
Alice explained it all after making me battered with her magic ability. Even my current Health Point is less than 10!
I never thought Alice would be able to fight so well. Or rather, I was too weak.
Lucien who saw my fight with Alice seemed to be smiling. I don't know what makes him happy to see his master beaten to the brink.
Of course, the direction of movement was to find a strategic position for the magician.
To use high-level magic capable of ending a fight, it would definitely take a long time for the activation of magic. Therefore the best position is as far away as possible from the opponent with the magician's note it is still able to see its target well.
Then to use middle-level magic with not too long activation, a good distance is far enough to be able to avoid counterattacks from opponents. However, the magic power of medium is at the speed of its activation.
As for low-level magic can be used anywhere to provide a gap for magicians. For example, Magic Missile magic, Fireball magic, Magic Arrow and so on.
Lau there is a unique magic that has a close distance. For example, Enchantment-type magic [Elemental Slash]. Elemental refers to the different types of elements that exist.
This type of magic can provide tremendous damage and a surprise for opponents. Of course, his weakness was his short distance.
But what a pity, I don't even have most of that magic.
“Prepare for money, Eric. After that I will give some members of the Salvation Guild a Quest to buy you that.” Alice was short.
“Good. Thank you very much, Alice.”
“Yes. Then I'll go first. Just call me if you want to go back to Reinard or somewhere else. Dah.”
After finishing her words, Alice immediately disappeared behind the blue light of the beautiful teleportation magic circle. While me? I'm still in the Rodiria Great Forest to practice my magic against the monsters here.
Of course, Lucien was always by my side to accompany me. He'll take care of me and teach me extra lessons as long as Alice isn't around.

Somewhere.
Inside a pretty beautiful building.
“So…. Did you accept that job?” Asked a young man with a well-built body, Grund.
“Yes, after all the pay is quite large. After a fairly tough negotiation with the Chinese Player, I obtained a contract with a fee of 14 million dollars. We can do it together and share it for 7 people.” Obviously a woman with white hair and red eyes, Evalina.
“Then, what does it look like?” Asked a woman with silver hair and blue eyes, Luna.
Soon after, Evalina explained the situation in detail to the entire Seven Star Guild members. In essence, the Golden Dragon Guild that was his Client wanted Seven Star to obtain information regarding an International Competition participant.
The reason is very simple. It was all because even though this Player had no ability at all in fighting, but he had a very high level. In fact….
“What?! He climbed 150 levels in just less than 3 weeks?!” Shouting Grund.
“Yes, at least that's what Liu Ying said. It seems he has some employees whose job is to pay attention to the Leaderboard level of many players who have the potential.” Reply Evalina.
“But…. How could? Even us...”
Grund did not believe what he had heard.
Sure enough, raising more than 150 levels in just less than 3 weeks was impossible. Even for the Seven Star Guild that had discovered a secret hunting ground.
“That's why, we should know the secret immediately. Of course we will share the information with the Golden Dragon Guild since it is already included in his contract. Even if we are unable to obtain his secret, they ask us to take that person by force.” Evalina.
“Then…. Who exactly is this guy?” Ask Archie in a soft voice. He has a fairly simple appearance with short dark purple hair covering his right eye.
“Eric. We'll be looking for information about his whereabouts at Re:Life.”
“Eric?” Luna asked with wide eyes and a very surprised expression.
After hearing the name, some people looked a little surprised. Especially Luna. Yeah, how else? He even still remembered the figure of the beginner Player he had helped in the village of Hige.
Knowing that novice players who do not understand anything are a target? Even possessing a leveling ability that surpasses Seven Star?
It feels so hard to believe.
