Silver Forest (3)
It was fortunate that Nias found it before he was eaten.
Thanks to having ready to cast attack magic at any time, I was able to push back Kluyak’s giant in one shot with good timing.
‘But it takes quite a while after one shot’
It was siege magic that I had been practicing, not knowing if I would use it someday.
The downside is that it takes quite a while to prepare another spell once it is used because it is a powerful and complicated spell.
“You are that kid!!!”
Right after Klujak rolled over the snowfield, he straightened up behind him, causing a huge blizzard like a tidal wave.
“It is an honor. for knowing.”
I immediately deployed my magic, and fired the magic at Klujak, who was not ready yet.
All I could cast right now were low-power spells, but when they flew in bunches, they were quite powerful.
Klujak leaped backwards once, opening the distance.
“Looking at it, the body is still in its infancy, but its achievements are comparable to that of most wizards. Are you one of those hero candidates?”
“Actually, I am the most powerful.”
“huh. You are arrogant. But since you have that level of skill, I will definitely kill you.”
Klujak suddenly disappeared as if it assimilated into the background.
‘Nature fairy tale! They’re probably planning to take advantage of the opportunity to surprise them.’
It didn’t seem like he was going to jump right at me.
Klujak is not the type to jump head-on and fight.
Because of his cunning personality, he will aim for a clear moment.
This was the reason why I was preparing a strong blow earlier.
To let you know that you can attack powerful enough to have enough power.
Only then will Klujak attack with sincerity, and he will be able to create a momentary gap like this.
Now that I’ve bought some time, I’m going to go down to the ground for a while.
Staying afloat in a snowstorm like this is tantamount to suicide.
Especially for a sickly guy like me, the cold wind was still cutting his stamina in real time.
Tring!
[Your stamina is constantly being reduced due to the cold.
Due to the ‘sickness’ debuff, the decrease in stamina is faster.]
The warming magic was applied, but somehow it was not enough.
If you don’t get over this situation, it will only get worse.
‘It’s not like he’ll die of pneumonia before the story begins.’
With a sigh, I broke through the snow wind and landed in front of Nias.
As soon as Nias saw me, he tried to straighten his upper body.
“Broken… Kyaa!”
A slap on the forehead of retribution for Nias!
Nias pressed both hands on his forehead, which had turned red from one hit, and looked up at me with sunken eyes as if he were about to cry.
“Don’t forget what I said. After it was over, you stayed and searched.”
Nias pursed her lips.
“Bocchan, I…”
I think I know what Nias wants to say.
It’s not like I’m sorry or I’m sorry.
Then I didn’t want to hear it.
“done. I don’t have time.”
It wasn’t the time to be like this.
First of all, we had to keep our distance and move Nias to a safe place.
After using magic to lighten Nias’ weight, I immediately lifted him into the princess’ arms.
“Kyaaak!”
“Stay still. If you fall away from me from now on, I’ll think you’re dead.”
I cast wind magic towards the ground.
The moment the snow on the ground flew upward and hid Nias and I, we started running towards the forest.
As I used Haste to accelerate and ran through the forest, I could feel a huge presence following me.
It was because of the tingling sensation that penetrated the body.
‘It’s really as quiet as snow, but it has a definite presence.’
However, it was certain that they could spread some distance.
On the way, I stood in front of a tree with a hole in the bottom that I had prepared in advance, and pushed Nias into it.
“young master…”
Nias lifted her head and looked up at me.
Seeing the obsidian-like black eyes shining like worry, I suddenly burst into laughter at this moment when I might die.
“hey. Do you think I will die?”
“…Mo, I don’t know.”
“I won’t die.”
I gently grabbed Nias by the shoulders.
“I’ll be bothering you tomorrow too.”
“You are too good!”
I tapped Nias on the forehead again and looked out into the raging blizzard.
You can’t run away.
The difference between speed and stamina is absolute. It was almost certain that he would be caught up before he could get out of the woods anyway.
Here, Klujak must be defeated.
Clumsy!
I flew through the sky at once, ran a long distance, and fell a tree using magic to let people know I was here.
And in an instant, the sound of the wind cutting was heard along with a tingling sensation.
I reflexively leaped into the sky.
Right after that, thick eyes bulged upward, leaving marks from the scratches of an invisible giant beast.
“If I was a little late, I would have died.”
The spine goes cold.
This is a real life and death issue.
‘What have you been doing since you were 8 years old?’
Gritting my teeth, I prepared to continue casting the spell.
The reason why it took a long time to prepare for casting siege magic was because it needed to fill that much magic into the image.
For example, it can be said that it is time to pour water into a cup.
The cup is the image, and the magic power is water.
When the glass is full of water, the spell is cast in the form I want.
For small orders, the cup size is small, but for large orders, the cup size is increased.
And in the meantime, of course it was pretty hard to use any other proper spells.
First of all, it’s a problem to prepare another cup called image, and it will take time to divide the water in the kettle separately.
‘I’m getting ready. I also know how to break the law. But the problem is to hold on!’
I focused on the sounds and sensations around me.
I couldn’t use that method now.
Once you dodge using that sabotage method, the cunning Klujak will notice right away.
The sound of the wind was heard again.
I used wind magic to avoid myself, but this time I was able to get past the attack.
At that moment, I rolled over the snow due to the shock that came over me, and hit the tree I had broken earlier.
“Ugh…”
The back was hot.
Blood was seeping out little by little.
Klujak, who left scratch marks on the snow for a moment, disappeared immediately.
On the snow, Klujak was coming towards me, magically erasing all sounds and footsteps.
A little bit now…
You only need to avoid one room.
But how…
At that time, I noticed a familiar object a short distance away.
‘That’s…!’
It was the mat that I handed over to Nias.
Come to think of it, Nias wasn’t wearing it earlier!
Anyway, that was the answer.
With all my might, I threw my body at the mat.
Then, he infused magic into the mat.
When magic uses intangibles as a medium, a problem arises from preparing the cup. However, when imbuing a tangible object with magic, it is as if the cup is already prepared.
Since the cup into which the images were to be blown was also formed from magic, more powerful magic could be used if there was a medium.
The moment the protective magic was blown into the mat and wrapped around the body, a huge shock struck again.
poop!!!
What used to be a simple blanket became a very elastic material that absorbed the momentary impact.
I flew along with the blanket and crashed straight into the ground.
“Kuh…!”
Although the blanket absorbed a lot of the shock, it wasn’t perfect either.
Tring!
[There is not much stamina left. Stamina drops rapidly due to sickness status ailments. Be careful.]
I don’t have to tell you twice what I know!
I immediately turned off the system window and searched for the enemy while trying to ignore the pain in my body.
The claws are gone again where they just blew me away.
And…fortunately, now the magic is ready.
Now you just have to hit this one shot accurately.

I want to buy Resuscitation just in case, but the plot points are sorely lacking.
Instead, I bought a clairvoyant targeting Klujak.
As soon as the glasses fell to the floor, I put them on.
Klujak is transparent by default. If you can’t see it, it’s impossible to hit the magic accurately.
However, if you are a clairvoyant, you can accurately capture the invisible in your field of vision.
In fact, Klujak was coming toward me.
I couldn’t see it because it was transparent, but I could see the screen moving little by little and getting closer to me.
I raised my hand.
Only one shot at very close range.
Wrapping the mat tightly around my body, I waited for Klujak to jump at me.
And the next moment, the screen moved quickly.
