Chapter 145
Mmm.. They just don't make 2-4 hours like they used to these days. Actually I just fell asleep. Next chapter in 2-4 hours hopefully for sure this time...
Year 7444, Month 6, Day 20
Bashi!!
Along with a sound as if the atmosphere is being cut the electricity from {Lightning Bolt} surges out of Miduchi's left hand and stretches towards one of the dark elves that was trying to circle around her knocking them out in an instant.
Since she's only poured the standard amount of mana into it the damage isn't enough to cause instant death. It should have just paralyzed them.
Bashi!!
Again the same sound from before rings out, this time the electricity jumps from her right hand. The target is one of those coming from the front, rank 2 warrior Harugozon. The warriors who are below rank 2 can't use {Anti-Magic Field} due to reasons relating to the number of elemental magic skills they were able to learn. Although, even if they could use it, there's no way they would have mastered it to the level of being able to deploy it faster than electricity either. Without missing it's aim, the electricity hit Harugozon in the abdomen and knocked him out on the spot.
For Miduchi since she's taking on multiple opponents she'd like to use {Chain Lightning} which splits up after hitting it's target but her wind magic only just reached level 5 the other day. Consequently, since she's barely used it before it, she can't activate it in an instant, let alone that when it comes to {Chain Lightning} putting aside the attacks that split up, unless you've achieved mastery with it the first direct hit will almost always deal enough damage to seriously injury or kill so it wasn't an option in the first place.
The reason she used wind magic to send herself flying into the air as well, it was to momentarily move outside of their sight and gain the 2 seconds needed to use magic. She'd like to send one more hit flying but it's already the limit. She'd like to use wind magic a number of times to gain a soft-landing but she can already confirm several hands and bows being aimed over here. In order to camouflage her landing point she uses wind magic consecutively going parallel to herself and went to great pains to try and shift her landing point from mid air to a location she can't be noticed.
Miduchi's wind magic shakes the bushes and trees that have a height of over 10 meters around both sides of the road Miduchi was following and generates a miniature typhoon. Even if it couldn't be considered high quality if she wasn't wearing proper leather armor and had the hems of her pants inside of her boots it would have been a disaster just like the robe she was wearing from the wind. The robe was already reduced to nothing more than scraps and strings since the first wind she used to ascend and is now basically a mantle swaying on her back. However, it might have been thanks to this robe that she was able to receive the wind easier.
There's no need to even evade the arrows that are flying, their trajectory is bent by the wind magic and the warheads of the spells end up being blown in a different direction as well, thanks to that she was somehow able to land without taking any damage. Since she ended up rolling about 5 meters form the impact of the landing, it's not as if she didn't take any damage at all from the fall but the fact that she didn't suffer any bone fractures or sprains was just as she was aiming for. Miduchi ignores the pain surging through her body from the landing as she stands up right away and dashes at an intense speed up Mount Kinru towards where she heard the voice from just now.
However, while she's knocked two unconscious there's still five people remaining. While things have gotten a bit better compared to the start, there's still no change in the situation of being outnumbered. She's paralyzed them through electricity but if they can just use earth and water elemental magics at level 4 then as long as they have time there's no problem with them being able to use the spell {Remove Paralysis}. The possibility that sooner or later they may return to the battlefield can't be ignored.
"Over there!!"
When Miduchi ran off she heard that voice shout from behind her. It's one she recognizes. It's the voice of a male rank 3 warrior that was the same age as her. During the education training process they spent just the first year together. What was his name again?
(In your case..you're magic results were bad right..)
She glances behind and hides behind an adequate tree while smiling and after waiting for the timing jumped out. She's already got both of her hands aimed at the target. And, between Miduchi and her pursuers a blue colored gas springs forth.
