Chapter 44 – Tiona Hiryute
Chapter 44 – Tiona Hiryute
I swung my knife towards the War Shadow and blocked its claws. However, I had to retreat since it used its other hand. 'Well, if I can't use a knife, I must use my magic.'
Now that I have put some points into my magic, it should be stronger.
I distanced myself from the War Shadow and ran. It was fast and chased me at full speed. As I ran, I created fireballs on my back that flew towards it.
The War Shadow began moving strangely as it avoided the fireballs. However, two fireballs hit it, enough to stop it but not kill it.
'It's stronger now.'
I used [Dark Magic] to create a barrier and ran towards the War Shadow while hiding in the darkness. I do this often, as monsters can't see or sense my presence.
At least the monsters on the upper floors.
The War Shadow, already wounded by the fire, was struck by me right in the neck.
It couldn't react, and its body exploded into particles. I received two experience points, took its magic stone, and placed it in my bag.
'I'll have to keep using magic. Especially fire magic, which has a lot of attack power.'
Fireballs, fire arrows, giant spears made of fire, walls of flames to repel monsters, a fire tornado that consumes monsters. Simple magics.
I tried to create a powerful explosion or a stronger "type" of fire but couldn't.
In other words, I was deceived by animes.
For example, Kenja no Mago's protagonist had some powerful blue fire. I can't recreate that... Maybe in the future? Well, I won't need to use fire magic in the future anymore.
The number of skills is growing.
'Speaking of magic, do I have some kind of mana reserve? Even after using magic a few times, I don't feel tired. There must be a mana reserve.'
This reserve will probably grow as I put more points into my magic.
'Well, since I'm here and want more points, items, magic stones, and to test this supposed mana reserve, I'll continue killing monsters with magic.'
I advanced while heading towards the exit. I killed Dungeon Lizards, Kobolds, and Goblins. Most were killed with fire magic, but I used Dark Magic on some.
Dark Magic is better when it comes to inflicting cuts. Yes, creating blades using Dark Magic to cut off limbs and decapitate monsters. It is an excellent magic.
Ah, and during this "magical adventure," I stopped a few times to rest and write. And why did I do that? Because I needed to recover my magic.
When I reached the fifth floor and killed several monsters, I started to feel tired, and the power of my magic decreased—however, my magic returned to full strength when I rested for an hour.
My magic reserve is not good, but it recharges fast if I rest for an hour.
I stopped to rest on every floor, so when I got out of the dungeon, I had already written almost 30 pages of the second volume of Re: Zero and the night had already arrived.
The number of adventurers outside was even smaller now.
'Most have already gone home.'
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and started walking towards the guild. However, someone approached me a few meters from the dungeon exit. It was someone I didn't expect to approach me.
"It's you!" she said. She was a girl shorter than me, with tanned skin and short hair. Her eyes were dark green, and she wore something around her chest. The clothes were revealing.
Around her waist, she wore a pareo. Also, she was barefoot!
You can already guess who I'm talking about. Tiona. Tiona Hiryute.
"Aren't you the guy Ais was talking to a few days ago?" she asked. "I remember you were looking at Ais in a very perverted way."
"I wasn't doing that. She's just beautiful, that's all."
"Hmmm... You know... I got curious about you, so I came here to see if I could find you."
"Won't your sister and Ais be worried?"
"Don't worry about them." Tiona got very close to me and looked up into my eyes. "Your eyes are very pretty. Besides, your physique is excellent. Do you train a lot?"
"No, I don't."
"I see." Tiona turned and took a few steps away, then turned back to me. "Maybe we'll meet again later? Oh, and you smell."
I watched Tiona walk away, not knowing what to say.
'She remembered me and came after me. I must have made a good impression on her the first time we met. Could it be [Charming Aura] again?'
Well, maybe I'm just handsome.
And while I was thinking about Tiona, I heard a voice calling me.
"Luan? Who was that?" It was Lili's voice. She wore her usual outfit covering almost her entire body and had a large bag on her back. "Your friend?"
"Her name is Tiona; she's from the Loki Familia. You must know her."
"Ah... Her. Are you friends?"
"No, it's the second time I've met her. Wait, it's the third time... But the first time I just saw her, I didn't approach her."
"Hmmm... I see." Lili looked away and then walked past me. "I'm leaving now."
"Wait, I wrote a good part of the second volume. Do you want to come to my room to continue reading? You can also take a hot bath there."
"I want to!" Lili said without thinking.
