Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 606 Weaponizing One’s Body

“Is this even possible?” Riveria asked.

Curious of her reaction, others also approached her and the first one to do so was Ais, as she’s also incredibly interested in their Basic Abilities when they each faced multiple Minotaurs not too long ago.

Like Loki and Riveria, however, the moment they laid their eyes on it, they thought that it was a very bad joke, except for Line, who had experience adventuring with them.

With the entire Loki Familia silent, Kisuke clapped his hand and said as if nothing was strange at all, “See the last line designated as Ki? It’s the same energy I’m talking about. So this proves that it exists and could be used.”

“Wait for a second! This line is really surprising, but don’t just brush off the ridiculous numbers on her Status! Is this true!?” Tione asked while gripping her hand tightly.

Kisuke squinted his eyes and said, “Of course, it’s true. I don’t have any reason to lie about this. Besides, can you really say that this is false after witnessing their battle that day? Well, to be fair, Koneko-chan’s status was this high when they faced the Minotaurs.”

“H-how is this possible?” muttered Ais. But despite the low volume of her voice, everyone heard her.

“Hmm~ I wonder~ Maybe because we do things a bit differently?”

After mulling over, something crossed Loki’s mind, “Wait, Hestia. Did you do something else to their Falna?”

Everyone from the Loki Familia thought that Loki was implying that Hestia cheated somehow and to their surprise, Hestia nodded, “It’s the old Falna.”

Loki’s eyes squinted further before she started scratching her head, “So it’s really that, huh… Even then, it’s very surprising that they managed to improve under that circumstance.”

Loki’s response broke their expectation and realized that they assumed it wrongly, “Loki, what’s this old Falna?” asked Riveria.

“It’s the blessing that the Gods gave the people of the Lower World when they first came down. Compared to today’s Falna that everyone uses, it gives the ability to grow a lot faster in terms of parameters.”

“Then why didn’t you give us this type?” asked Ais as she gripped her hand tighter.

Loki understood her feelings and answered, “Because it has a very big flaw. So big that the children who received it didn’t get much stronger.”

“Flaw?”

“Where do you think the large majority of an Adventurer’s strength came from?”

Thinking about it for a moment, Riveria answered, “Skills, Development Abilities, and Magic.”

“Correct. And the very first blessing, despite giving the child a large boost to their physical abilities, doesn’t provide anything special. You lot should know that beating monsters through simple brute force doesn’t really work effectively on strong monsters as normally, they are much stronger. Even Tiona and Tione’s ‘Berserk’ is incredibly useful, not to mention Development Abilities that give resistances.”

Eye wide open, Lefiya raised her voice, “Then what about their magic!? Are you saying that those incredible magic they displayed were not from a Deity’s blessing?”

Loki, however, stayed silent as she too didn’t know. Nevertheless, she looked towards Riveria for clarification.

Riveria, on the other hand, looked towards Kisuke, wanting to ask for his permission. Though before she could ask, she saw him nodding at her. Sighing, Riveria revealed it, “I think it’s fair to assume that their magic was something they learned how to cast and even I don’t match Kisuke’s control in magic power. That’s the main reason why I kept going to their place. It is for me to learn magic from him.”

“Y-you’re learning from him?” asked Lefiya with an incredulous expression. As for others, they were also making the same face. There were so many surprising things today, but this must be the most surprising revelation for them. After all, who would believe that the greatest Mage in Orario would be learning magic from a Level 2 Adventurer?

Riveria didn’t mind this reaction and just smiled, “It’s true. His control is so amazing that even his Wind Magic, even though it can’t outclass Ais’ Wind Magic in terms of power, is still a lot better than hers.”

Lefiya’s jaw dropped and her head mechanically turned to her idol.

Ais then nodded at Riveria’s words, “It’s true. Despite using my Ariel, I lost to his Wind Magic.”

A wave of headaches came to everyone. They couldn’t take it anymore or keep up. They thought that this is just a bad dream.

However, this was just the start of their world view collapsing. Ais looked towards Line who was staying quiet and away from other’s line of sight, “Line is the first one to start learning magic from him, so if it’s really possible to learn their magic, the results should be on her.”

Seeing that everyone’s attention was now on her, Line couldn’t help but smile wryly. Even then, she decided to be honest, “I did learn a few things already. I can now cast my healing magic without chanting. On top of that, I can also cast a few Elemental Magic for everyday use.”

Lifting her right hand, a small ball of flame suddenly manifested on top of it, shocking everyone else yet again. They knew for sure that Line wasn’t capable of casting any other magic aside from her healing.

Line, however, kept silent on the fact that she reset her Level to 1 and now her parameters are around S and A after Adventuring with Sona and company.

Another round of silence took over the girls of the Loki Familia. They were tired, very tired. Nonetheless, Tiona was the first one to recover and raised her hand with an excited voice, “Please teach me about this Ki! What does it do!?”

The others were very impressed at her recovery rate, ‘As expected of the muscle-head. She doesn’t think much,’ thought everyone.

Kisuke grinned, “Okay~. Koneko-chan, mind stepping over here for a minute?”

Koneko nodded and went beside him as Kisuke continued, “Aside from walking on water, you can also do some other neat tricks with enough mastery.”

Kisuke then looked towards Lefiya and said, “Viridis-san, mind attacking Koneko-chan with one of your magic? You don’t have to hold back.”

“W-what? But that’s too dangerous!”

With a condescending expression, Kisuke answered, “It’s fine. I’ll take responsibility. Though Koneko-chan will definitely be fine.”

Something snapped within Lefiya’s mind. As one of the most prominent Mages within Orario and Riveria’s protégé, she certainly takes pride in it. Of course, Kisuke’s attitude didn’t bode well with her and agreed to what he wanted.

After getting confirmation from Riveria, Lefiya went away for a moment to get her wand. Once she returned, she immediately warned Kisuke and Koneko, “Please be aware. One of my skills is called Fairy Canon that doubles the effect of my attack magic. Monsters from the deeper floors of the Dungeon will almost always take heavy damage despite their strong defenses that can block multiple attacks from top Adventurers.”

However, Kisuke just waved his hand in dismissal as he walked out of the way, “I said it’s fine.”

Successfully having her nerves touched, Lefiya immediately started casting her magic while Riveria sighed on the side. Even so, she’s incredibly curious about how Koneko would block Lefiya’s magic, ‘She should be aware of how strong Lefiya’s magic is and she definitely wouldn’t be able to take it head-on when we were together last time. Did something change? Did she level up? If that’s true, then they’re really one ridiculous group.’

Finishing her chant, Lefiya released an arrow of magic, “Arcs Ray!”

The arrow carved a path along the beach, creating a small explosion of sand particles, partly covering everyone’s view. Even then, everyone saw it clearly. Koneko put her right arm in front of her before it lit up in white transparent light.

Seeing that she really didn’t dodge, Lefiya panicked a bit and tried to pull away from the trajectory of her magic. However, before she could do so, she witnessed a trauma-inducing scene for Mages happen in front of her.

Figuring out Lefiya’s intention, Koneko dashed forward, towards the oncoming magic. Although she heard some screams from the background, she ignored them as she slapped away Lefiya’s Arcs Ray with her bare hands, sending it towards the ocean, creating a big explosion of water behind her.

With everyone stupefied, Kisuke explained with a gleeful voice, “Another trick you can do with it is weaponizing your own body~!”
