Disciple of Immortal

Act 1: Chapter 23: The End of Leveling

Days passed by as I raised my level in the《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》 along with Lunaire.

I’ve long since forgotten how many times I’ve entered this place.

Surely, it’s been more than one month and a half ever since I was sent into this 《Cocytus》.

I used Wind Magic, 3rd Rank 《Flugel》 to fly around inside the 《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》.

In spite of its low rank, this magic was truly useful.

Although low-rank magic’s firepower was on the level of “meh” at best, they’re versatile for mobility or obstruction.

The grotesque devils were chasing after me while I was flying but, thanks to 《Flugel》 they were left far behind me because of my increased mobility.

One devil that had been waiting ahead of me came towards me.

It was a devil with an eerie appearance that resembled a giant wheel with a lot of small human faces on its surface.

… Well these kinds of eerie appearances are normal in this place though.

It charged in a straight line, rolling it’s body and went for my flank.

The large face in the middle of the wheel was laughing as it looked at me.

I kicked this annoying wheel and used the recoil to do a mid-air jump as I slashed its frame.

The wheel’s large face’s laugh changed to that of surprise as soon as it realized that its body was bisected by my slash. Its eyes showed its white color.

Playing dead huh…. What an annoyingly tough devil.

I left that annoying wheel to enjoy the rest of its short life, to attack the other devils who were chasing after me.

I took a deep breath and spun another magic circle while controlling my flight path with 《Flugel》.

I’ve mastered the《Twin Mind Law》.

The current me could easily wield two magic at the same time.

Forget about two, I could even use three at the same time.

I turned around with 《Flugel》 to face the crowd of devils as I pointed my sword towards them.

Some of the devils amongst the crowd tried to attack me with their long-distance attacks AKA a beam-like attack or tentacle-like attack.

「Fire Magic, 14th Rank 《Inferno Ball》」

A giant crimson fireball which had a diameter that surpassed ten meters headed towards the flock of those devils.

「You’re attracting too many of them! At this rate, you’re going to be swallowed by your exploding flame too!」

Lunaire who watched my battle from the beginning gave me a warning.

But, no problem.

I’ve decided to use this plan with that situation in mind.

I canceled 《Flugel》 and spun another magic circle.

「Time-Space Magic, 4th Rank;《Short Gate》」

The magic circle’s light wrapped my body and sent it to another location, around 5 meters away from my original location.

Just like its name, 《Short Gate》 was a short distance teleportation magic.

Although its activation was slow compared to 《Flugel》 and it left the user defenseless the moment before teleportation, the user was practically invincible during the teleportation process. It was an excellent magic to cause a momentary opening to my enemies.

As long as I cast 《Short Gate》’s magic circle the moment I invoked 《Inferno Ball》, my safety was guaranteed.

My crimson flame dyed the mirror world in a crimson color as it swallowed the devils who were chasing after me.

The effect of my equipped sword and my own level changed the magic itself.

No devil was alive after receiving a direct hit from that crimson fireball.

On the contrary, I could hit them with super rank magic in a surprise attack by letting them close in on me, while I prepared 《Inferno Ball》 and then 《Short Gate》 in succession.

Naturally, one wrong move and I would be swallowed by my own magic though….

I had to say that the results of combining these two magic with 《Twin Mind Law》 was superb.

「KYANKYAN!」

A dog devil wrapped in black flames charged through the crimson hellfire.

Although I said dog… Its head was that of a curly-haired middle-aged man with a crown on top of his head. [TL : Kanata’s nemesis appear]

It was none other than this shitty dog who cornered me until I was on the verge of dying- scrap that. I might have been really dead if not for Lunaire’s help, especially the first time I entered this 《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》.

This shitty bastard was really a tough one, I’ve yet to be able to kill this shitty dog.

But, this was the end.

「Time-Space Magic, 19th Rank; 《Graviburn》」

「KYAAA….」

The black light spread out, twining around that shitty dog.

The other devils were also pulled along by the sucking force of the black light.

「This is the debut of me using this magic in live combat.」

It was Lunaire’s most favorite magic, 《Graviburn》.

Despite the fact I lacked safety, precision, control, and the spell had a smaller scale compared to the《Inferno Ball》 that I fired a while ago, its firepower was undoubtedly the best amongst my arsenal.

I let go of my sword.

The black light that wrapped around those devils rapidly shrunk down in size.

It then exploded, scattering around the flesh and bodily fluid of the devils that was trapped inside of the black light.

Yes, I’ve finally reached the level in which I no longer had to rely on Lunaire’s assistance to fight the devils in this 《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》.

…. Uhm, after reaching this level, my level hardly rose even after I single-handedly defeated that many 《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》’s devils.

I followed Lunaire’s advice and trained in the other magics outside my area of expertise, my alchemy level had increased by a lot.

My 《Twin Mind Law》 reached the level where I could use it in live combat.

To prevent my over-reliance towards magic, I trained my swordsmanship too, just in case there was a time when my magic was sealed.

「Time-Space Magic, 4th Rank;《Short Gate》」

I used that magic to teleport myself closer to Lunaire.

「Master, I think this is enough for today. Shall we go back?」

I called out to Lunaire.

… After I heard the matter about Hades Impurity from Noble Mimic, I felt that there was a small distance between me and Lunaire.

Though Lunaire’s tone returned to her usual taciturn tone after that, I somehow noticed that she seemed to be constantly distracted by something.

Even I couldn’t help but notice that she intentionally returned to her usual tone.

The current Lunaire seemed to be thinking about something.

「…………」

After seemingly thinking about something for a while, Lunaire’s eyelids opened slowly.

「Your leveling is already…. No, you might not even need my help anymore. Congratulation.」

Lunaire said with a serene voice.
