Kelly and Berna Rescued

After breaking through to a Level 7 Warrior, Matthews prepared to head back, especially since his current strength was not enough to support him venturing deeper into the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Therefore, he planned to kill a Level 7 Magic Beast, obtain its magic core, and then return the way he came.

While taking advantage of the momentum from his breakthrough, Matthews tried out his Electromagnetic Cannon technique once more. He discovered that the limiting factor for this move had shifted from a lack of Battle Qi to the magnetic field provided by the magnets being too weak.

However, the magnets attached to his legs were sufficient to satisfy his current flight requirements, and this technique could still be utilized after he gained a deeper understanding of the Electromagnetic Profundity in the future.

"Boss, this flying technique of yours is so cool."

Asolun flapped its wings and clamored excitedly around Matthews, its cheerful voice ringing in Matthews's mind.

"Hahaha, it's alright. At least it's enough for now!"

After practicing his long-range attack technique, Matthews had effectively mastered the strength he gained from breaking through to a Level 7 Warrior.

One day, while they were on the road searching for a Level 7 Magic Beast, they sensed the aftermath of a battle from afar. Matthews heard the roaring and recognized it as a Level 7 Magic Beast, a Velociraptor; he had originally intended to take a detour.

However, through his electromagnetic wave sensing, he discovered an old acquaintance. It was the big sister who had gifted him twenty gold coins the first time they met, the beautiful girl with big eyes he had encountered at the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, Kelly. Their current situation did not seem very good.

Matthews thought for a moment. Kelly had helped him, so logically and emotionally, he had to help her if he ran into her.

"Whoosh—"

Seeing Matthews, who had been traveling along the road, suddenly take flight, Asolun asked in confusion, "Boss, didn't you say it was too dangerous to fly casually in the Magic Beast Forest?"

"An acquaintance is in danger, I'm going over to save her."

In a short while, Matthews arrived at the scene of the battle. The only Level 6 Warrior in Kelly's team had already sacrificed himself by this time.

With no time to charge up his power, Matthews raised his left hand directly in mid-air.

He shouted loudly, "Get out of the way!"

"Whoosh—"

A beam of lightning-charged energy flew rapidly and struck the tail that the Velociraptor had whipped toward them. The Velociraptor's tail, which was harder than rock, collided with Matthews's attack, producing a loud explosion.

The Velociraptor was distracted by this strike, and Matthews followed up with a second Electromagnetic Cannon attack. The Velociraptor was forced back five meters, and the Ice Protection magic Kelly had originally cast lost its effect. Once safe, she retreated repeatedly to a secure position!

As Matthews descended, the Cold Light Ghost Shadow flew directly into his hand, and he charged straight at the Velociraptor!

"So handsome!"

Now safe, Kelly naturally recognized Matthews, who had come to save the day. The sight of Matthews with lightning coiling around his body appeared very masculine and charming in Kelly's eyes.

Matthews had already touched the threshold of the third realm of blade technique, and with a single strike, he breached the Velociraptor's scale armor defense. Leiding Battle Qi flashed on the Cold Light Blade, and this energy seeped into the Velociraptor's flesh, invading its body. The paralyzing property inherent to the lightning itself further restricted the Velociraptor's movements.

Before long, the Velociraptor, growing weaker with every exchange, was slain by Matthews.

Matthews had just put away the Velociraptor's magic core when he saw Kelly running over excitedly, her eyes shining as she asked him, "Why are you here!"

"I just had a breakthrough and was preparing to challenge some magic beasts. I didn't expect to run into you in danger here, so I came over to help."

"Really? It's so lucky to run into you."

Matthews looked around and asked, "This is already the middle section of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. How did you end up in such a dangerous place?"

"We finished our training and were preparing to head back, but we didn't expect to run into a Velociraptor."

After Kelly finished speaking, she continued, "Brother Matthews, are you heading back too? Do you want to come with us?"

Matthews thought about it; he was planning to head back anyway. He said, "Sure, let's go together."

Kelly walked over naturally and grabbed Matthews's arm, leading him to her teammates to introduce him.

A male mage in the group saw Kelly holding Matthews's arm and his expression changed immediately, though this shift in expression was fleeting and Matthews did not notice it.

"This is Nina, my best friend."

Nina also greeted Matthews generously, "Hello, I've seen you from afar before."

"Hello, hello."

Matthews responded politely. At this moment, before Kelly could even introduce him, the male mage walked over and performed a standard noble salute.

"I am Wood, son of Marquis Boret!"

Matthews had not learned the etiquette of this world, so he simply cupped his hands in a fist and responded, "You can call me Matthews."

Seeing that Matthews's etiquette was so crude and unrefined, this mage named Wood looked down on him even more.

In the evening, Kelly pulled Matthews aside to ask about his recent experiences. Naturally, she also talked about her own recent adventures, and Matthews proved to be a very good listener.

After Kelly left, Asolun's voice rang out in Matthews's mind.

"Boss, that mage named Wood was hostile toward you today."

"Hahaha, I noticed too. It's obvious he likes Kelly, and seeing Kelly be so enthusiastic toward me, he naturally became hostile!"

"Boss, to be honest, I have no objections to Kelly becoming my sister-in-law!"

"Go away, what would a magic beast like you know about human emotions?"

Asolun retorted unconvinced, "Boss, although I don't understand your human emotions, analyzing it based on the courtship behavior of magic beasts, that Kelly definitely has her eyes on you, Boss."

"Go, go—"

"How old are you? From the perspective of a magic beast's age, you haven't even grown your fur yet. What do you know!"

"Boss, I'm serious!"

"If you say another word, I'm going to punish you!"

"Fine, I won't say anything else!"

Along the way, Kelly acted like a curious child, her questions coming one after another without end.

"Big Brother Matthews, how did you cultivate to become so powerful?"

"Uh, I just simply absorb the elements."

"Is that amazing lightning magic of yours a secret family technique?"

"Uh, I suppose you could say I created it myself!"

"Wow, you're so amazing!"

Wood couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted directly: "Tch, if you don't want to say it, just don't. That kind of high-level magic clearly couldn't have been created by you!"

Kelly rolled her eyes at him, then snapped at Wood: "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't create their own!"

She then turned her head back to Matthews with a smile and said: "Right, Big Brother Matthews?"

The idea for Matthews' Electromagnetic Cannon had actually come from an anime, and the electromagnetic theory had been taught by his previous teacher. However, in this world, it could still be considered his original invention, so he said: "Mm, I suppose so."
