Chapter 223 Revealing The Plan During The Strategy Meeting
I took out some skewer from my inventory. And some plates too.
"Skewer? Isn't that heavy for a snack?"
I had seconds for dinner and was already full. I won't be drinking today, but when I do have a drink, I always have a stick of skewer. I can handle this much.
"Just eat it for now."
"Ah, Maya, have a bite too."
"Sure."
"Chew, chew... It's hot and delicious, brother."
"Right? I bought it from the shop at Swiglefen."
"Ah, the one run by that big guy like a bear?"
"Bear? Yeah, that's right. It was already delicious to begin with, but recently, it has become even more flavorful with the spices we brought from Watterhill."
"Yeah, it used to be bland..."
That's right. Thanks to Rosalier-san at Swiglefen, the flavors from Seteas-san's inn have spread. So it has improved somewhat.
"Anyway, touching it like this..."
I touched the skewer I placed on the plate with my finger.
"'Rev Regenerate'"
I quietly muttered the spell in my mouth. And just like that, the skewer turned into fine black dust and crumbled to the ground.
"Huh? Th-this...isn't this like that 'collapse phenomenon' in light novels or manga?"
"It could be seen that way, I guess? Of course, it also affects people."
"What is this? You didn't have this attribute before, big brother."
"There's a curse called 'Reversal.' Didn't I mention it before?"
"Yeah, I think I heard about it, or maybe I didn't."
Maya-chan sometimes gets like this. When she's focused on something, information goes in one ear and out the other. I'm pretty sure she was busy fawning over Centrena back then.
"So this time, I was being carried in something like a coffin. I woke up with handcuffs and leg irons on me."
"Wow, isn't that the worst? That's why Rosalier-san warned you not to let your guard down, right?"
"Um. That was really, the only thing I could say was sorry. And then..."
"Yeah."
"Because it was a metal thing, without hesitation, my arm disappeared with that magic from earlier."
"Ugh."
"Well, it wasn't as painful as the cliff falling training at Watterhill that I always did."
"There's a weird ghost here..."
"Sorry about that. So, then, I regenerated it and next was my other arm. After that, I took back my freedom by removing my leg, and finally, I destroyed something like a ceiling."
"I see."
"And then I fell straight down. I was smashed against the ground, but in the end, I was revived."
"Seriously..."
"That's right in the middle of Phileto Village. It's a good thing I didn't fall on anyone."
"Wow, causing so much trouble."
"I felt bad about it. Then, that Bergalide came down there and started acting all high and mighty, so I got annoyed, grabbed his leg and made it disappear."
"Wow..."
"Since his blood wouldn't stop, I treated him briefly before grabbing him by the collar."
"And, this the beginning of the gentle torture show?"
"Yeah, since the villagers were watching, I skipped the gore and just reverse the 'Recover' to knock him out with intense pain combos."
At that time, his body were trembling, swaying like waves.
"Wow, looks like fun. So, what happened next?"
"And then, Failroud-san showed up."
"I see. And that brings us to now?"
"Yeah. and that's all my tricks. Mostly close-range. I can't do anything if I can't touch them."
In MMO magic, there's range, but in reality, it's all about contact. It's not as easy as it seems.
"So, Maya is at level 4 in the Holy attribute. It doesn't seem like Maya is close to level 5 yet."
"I see. Didn't you just level up?"
"Not really. I've been getting tons of experience points, but I'm still about 40% there. The road to level 5 is surprisingly long..."
"Still, to people over here, it seems like you leveled up like a god. After all, Jag-san leveled up to 2 90 years ago. He had been continuing his treatment activities almost every day, but he leveled up to 3 just the other day after I taught him an efficient level-up method."
"90 years.... Oh, that's why."
"Yeah."
"Oh, right, my Wind attribute is also level 4."
"Wow, seriously?"
"Hehehe. I did my best. It's for my big brother. So praise me."
"How?"
"Spread your arms."
"Like this?"
Then Maya-chan hugged me. Wow, she's as soft and smells as nice as ever.
"Pat my head."
"Okay. Well done. You did your best."
"Hehehe."
It's a bit difficult because she's hugging me tightly, but I also lightly hugged her back and patted the back of her head. Maya-chan sometimes complains if I don't do this.
"Sniff sniff, rub rub, ... Yes, I enjoyed it."
This scent is rather lewd, Maya-chan.
"By the way, what is level 4 of your wind magic?"
"Oh, I forgot."
Maya scratched the back of her head and sat back down next to me.
"Um, it's like a long-range attack called 'Air Cannon.' Think of it as a higher caliber version of 'Air Bullet,' which is level 3."
"The name itself sounds like a cannon. But I didn't know there was something called 'Air Bullet.' Weren't you mostly using 'Air Cutter,' Maya?"
"Well, because that one is level 2 and has a wide range, it's easier to use."
"I see. So, how lethal is it?"
"Hmm, it depends on how much mana I put into it, but if we were talking in terms of light novels, it would probably be around A-rank."
"Whoa, could it be..."
"Yes, I tested it on a beast. With just a light shot, it made a 10cm (4 inches) hole in its stomach."
"Seriously?"
"In terms of range, I'd say it easily reaches 100m (328 feet). If big brother was here, I could use mana endlessly and become a shooting fixed artillery."
"That's pretty amazing!"
"Hehe. Also, there's something called 'Air Burst.'"
"Hohoo."
"It has a wide range, but low killing power. It just blows things away."
"I see."
"Depending on how you use it, it's a pretty useful magic. By the way, when I used it on a bird flying in the sky,"
"Yeah."
"It got blown away to a faraway place."
"Well..."
"It's okay, it was flying over there anyway."
"I see. Like hitting a lump of wind?"
"Hmm, more like a violent storm?"
"Got it. It still seems quite useful."
"Yeah, that's Level 4 for you."
Maya-chan salutes crisply. Then, she shrugs her shoulders and makes a gesture like 'Phew.'
"Because I've been mastering the wind early on, it's hard for me to improve my fire and water attributes. Maybe, in this world, there are certain affinities like that. Of course, the earth attribute, which is directly opposite in terms of attributes, didn't respond at all."
"Is that so?"
"Fire and water attributes can be used at level 1, so that's cool."
"Still, there are 4 attributes. I only have Healing Attribute."
"Big brother's a cheater, so it's fine."
"Ugh, seriously."
