The Results of Frieren's Special Training

It seems they sensed that tonight was different from the previous times.

After these deformed monsters made noises several times, no more prey broke through the farm fence and ran towards them.

The deer herd stirred.

They raised their heads—though those things could hardly be called heads anymore—and let out angry cries at the night sky, a sound completely different from before.

They were hungry.

They crave hot blood.

I've gotten used to eating the same thing every night.

Their patience had been worn down by repeated unsuccessful attempts.

The Chaos Flower controls this body through its corrupted brain.

The deer's hooves began to tremble as it walked unsteadily toward the farm.

The stems and leaves that had originally wrapped around its neck now extended out like tentacles, resembling a live octopus.

The green leaves are as sharp as blades; a light stroke can leave a deep cut on the tree.

It's to my liking

In Galan's mind, this is how it should look.

"Hiss--"

The monster at the very front seemed to sense something.

The petals on its head opened, revealing a terrifyingly large mouth.

It seemed as if it was trying to intimidate the air.

Swish--

A bright beam of light cut through the air.

The powerful air currents it carried stirred the grass along the road.

It pierced straight through the heart of that monster.

A deep crater, emitting black smoke, was left in the trees behind it.

The monster, having lost its core, stood there stunned for a moment.

It then collapsed with a thud.

Lia held up her Staff, concealing her presence.

They quietly approached a spot not far from the monster.

In addition to training in Mana control

Frieren also required her to suppress the Mana within her as a matter of course.

Although Lia didn't quite understand the meaning of doing this

For Mage, the amount of Mana power they possess is almost synonymous with their strength.

In many cases, simply revealing one's Mana can avoid a lot of trouble.

Therefore, almost no Mage would act as Frieren described.

They've invested so much effort and time in training to suppress Mana.

--Even Duncan was like that.

However, this practice is already showing very good results.

Compared to before,

Her stealth skills have become increasingly refined.

So even if the other party vaguely sensed that something was wrong

They couldn't find her either.

After sensing that their kind had been eliminated

The horde of monsters behind them erupted in commotion.

They unleashed vine whips as fast as lightning, their sharp leaf blades tearing through the air.

Fly towards the spot where the magic was just launched.

Under the swift attack, the spot where Lia had been crouching was ripped open, leaving a large crater.

If someone were actually standing there, they would probably be torn to shreds.

However, she couldn't just stand there foolishly.

After the other party reacted, they attacked.

After delivering a strike

Lia bent down and slipped to the other side.

She straightened up slightly.

He pointed the Ebony Staff at the distant monster.

Several magic arrays instantly unfolded around him; after a brief moment of concentration...

The released Mana reached an extremely concentrated level, greatly enhancing its penetrability.

[Highly compressed attack magic]

After that attack...

Lia has become certain that his philandering is his weakness.

If we concentrate our fire on that one spot, we can easily take down the opponent.

Her eyes narrowed.

Exhale gently.

Dozens of Mana beams shot out, illuminating the forest like dazzling fireworks.

The next moment,

The scattered magic exploded like sparks in every corner.

The immense force stirred up a cloud of dust, obscuring the view inside.

"Still alive?"

In Lia's current perception

My confident large-scale offensive just now only managed to take down a few monsters.

That shouldn't be the case, how did they manage to block it?

A thick whip shot out from the dust, heading straight for Lia.

[Defensive Magic] instantly unfolded in front of her.

They deflected the enemy's surprise attack.

When the smoke and dust cleared

Seven or eight of the [Chaos Flower] parasites remained unharmed outside the forest.

But Lia noticed

Those who survived are all now maintaining the same strange posture.

--It uses its smooth, mirror-like leaves to conceal its flower heart.

"Did you use that to reflect my magic?"

Combined with the damage marks on the surrounding ground, it was clearly caused by his own magic.

Lia understood the trick in an instant.

She raised her Staff and flew into the air.

A powerful, undisguised Mana surged through his body.

After all, they didn't have the experience of suppressing Mana like Frieren did for hundreds of years.

Whenever Lia wants to unleash a large-scale spell, she will inevitably expose her own Mana.

This is why she initially chose to sneak up and launch a surprise attack using [Ordinary Offensive Magic].

However, now that both sides have shown up...

There's no need to hide anymore.

Rear

Seeing Lia suspended in mid-air, with powerful air currents swirling around her...

Golden hair flew wildly.

After that, it was a scene resembling a god descending to earth.

The old man, who had initially harbored some concerns, instantly dismissed his previous thoughts.

It seems I was worrying too much.

But speaking of which...

Even if it doesn't seem very mature or reliable

But those who are able to venture out and become adventurers...

Which one doesn't have solid, hard power?

The complex incantation was finished.

Powerful elemental energy gathered at the tip of the Staff.

Lia calmed the surging Mana within her, causing the surrounding space to fall silent once more.

It was so quiet, as if nothing had ever happened.

Because of [Flight Magic]

The monster's outstretched tendrils couldn't reach her at all.

This also gave her enough time to complete the incantation of this powerful spell.

"[Tornado Magic]"

"[Gale Inferno Transformation Magic]"

Suddenly, an astonishing pillar of wind rose between heaven and earth.

It enveloped the monsters that were stuck in place.

Subsequently,

The pale wind blades were stained with scorching flames.

It started burning from the base of the whirlwind.

The sky was ablaze with color.

This fusion of wind and fire has been completed.

Since direct magic attacks will be reflected,

To prevent being injured in return, or to avoid causing unexpected and unnecessary damage.

Lia chose to unleash this powerful fusion magic.

To completely eliminate the other party.

After all, with such a set of magic,

No matter where it defends itself, it will ultimately be unable to escape the fate of being burned to death by the fire tornado.

The so-called ability to [reflect magic]

It's meaningless in the face of overwhelming firepower.

"... Wow, she's really amazing... I definitely underestimated this little girl..."

After experiencing the power that Lia had created so directly...

The old man unconsciously smacked his lips.

He expressed his heartfelt feelings.

In comparison,

The bow and arrow he held in his hand were like those of an unintelligent ape.

They're still using the same gadgets their ancestors used in the Stone Age.
