C22 Girl Tell Me Your Story
C22 Girl Tell Me Your Story
The main reason was that the instant casting of spells became harder and harder as the level increased. Every time a mage advanced to the Level 1, the arrangement of magic elements would become very complicated. Moreover, the difficulty of the mage compressing the spell and releasing it in an instant had reached an unimaginable degree. Most Titled Devil Instructor would never be able to instantly cast a Seventh Rank magic in their lifetime.
High-level mages were used to using spells with moderate casting time and considerable attack power to control the rhythm of their battle. In the end, they would make a breakthrough after confirming that their opponent had entered the spell failure stage.
However, Riko did not use this method.
She controlled the flying skill to fly across the sky as she opened up an elemental shield. Furthermore, while maintaining the beacon skill, she still had the remaining energy to instantly cast Seventh Rank magic. Then, Riko actually said a Ninth Rank electric magic spell.
"Tonitrukanademilayosakali."
She used five spells at the same time.
No other Titled Devil Instructor could do what she did.
In terms of size, Riko might only be one-tenth or one-hundredth of the Hydra. In front of this huge magic beast, she looked very tiny. However, the elemental energy that erupted from the petite girl with grey hair suppressed the Hydra until it could not raise its head.
"Zoniva Siniquasinfnfnnfl."
After she chanted the last character, a bolt of lightning that was like a spear suddenly struck the huge magic beast's body.
Seawater mixed with minerals and impurities that were not pure was a good conductor.
The Hydra began to twitch because of this lightning bolt. The rest of the lightning came one after another.
When the eighth lightning bolt struck, the huge magic beast's body was charred black, and it no longer had any signs of life.
Riko took a glass bottle and squeezed some snake blood into it. Then she dug out a basketball sized magic crystal from the Hydra's head.
"This thing is much weaker than I imagined."
Under Loli Merlin's dumbfounded expression, the gray-haired girl threw the translucent blue magic crystal onto the floor of the room.
"Help me keep this thing first. I don't have any spatial tools that can store it."
"Okay."
Black Haired Great Devil Instructor helplessly put away the magic crystal and let out a long sigh.
"I found that I am getting more and more unable to understand you."
"Why?"
"[You're so young, yet you know how to make potions, and you're also very powerful in magic.]"
"But..."
Loli Merlin suddenly leaned forward and let the two of them face each other. Her long eyelashes seemed to brush on Riko's face as she said, "I don't know why, but you seem to have very little other emotions."
She stretched out her hand and gently pinched Riko's cheek.
Riko blinked but did not interrupt her.
"No matter whether you are sad, happy, angry or scared, you have never shown it."
"I can feel that you do not have feelings. You just hid them."
Seeing that Riko did not reply, Loli Merlin rubbed her face as she continued to speak.
"Maybe you have experienced some very bad things and left a shadow behind, which is why you have become like this."
The gray-haired girl still did not speak. She lowered her eyes, thinking about something.
"At this stage, everyone has their own secrets. I won't force you to ask what happened, but if you want to tell me one day, I can be your listener at any time."
Riko curled up into a ball. After a while, she finally responded in a low voice.
"Okay."
"Well then, it's quite late, you can go to sleep"
At this time, Loli Merlin felt Riko lightly pull on the corner of her clothes.
"What happened to you again?"
"Can you sleep with me?"
The girl's voice was soft and weak, intermittent.
"Hm?"
Riko pointed at the lightning that was still flashing outside the window.
"I'm a little scared."
"This is the magic you created. What are you afraid of?"
Loli Merlin sighed.
"I really can't do anything to you."
The next morning, in the airship's restaurant, almost everyone was talking about the Hydra from last night.
Riko heard from a few words that most people did not dare to go onto the deck. They just lay inside the window of the passenger cabin and looked outside from afar. Obviously, they did not see Riko taking off to fight the Hydra.
They only knew that a hidden Great Mage suddenly appeared on the ship, and she quickly defeated the Hydra. Then, she quietly disappeared.
While they were shocked, they also began to look around, trying to find the mage from yesterday.
Of course, they wouldn't be able to find him.
Riko and Loli Merlin should be the first ones to be eliminated in their eyes. Although they looked like the descendants of some magic family, they looked too young. Riko also did not want to attract too much attention, so in the next few days, she basically stayed in the room or on the highest deck of the airship, and would chat with Loli Merlin about pharmaceuticals and magic from time to time.
Just like that, five days passed.
On the last morning of the flight, after drifting on the boundless ocean for five days, everyone on the airship saw land again.
The passengers immediately cheered.
The originally faintly discernible city became clearer as the distance approached. The Ainderhofen was located on a delta, and it was formed by a few rivers flowing into the sea. Although its scale was not as large as the Lotterdall, it was still much more prosperous than the Hagerstown. There were all kinds of gorgeous and distinctive buildings in the city. For example, the Pharmacist Guild building looked like an enlarged beaker.
"Rikku, do you see that tower?"
Loli Merlin went to Riko's side and pointed at the tallest building in the city.
"I saw it."
"That is Big Dipper Tower, the destination of our trip."
