My tension took a nosedive immediately after rising to zenith from the prospect of me finally being able to use Skills.
Fufufu, I knew somewhere deep inside my heart that's an impossible dream for me. That's fine, I've got Mana Control and Lifeforce Control anyway... Dangit.
"Hikaru, you seem down after killing that slime, what's wrong?"
"Nah, it's nothing, don't worry 'bout it. I just had a mood whiplash."
"...?"
Alma asked with a worried look.
It was all by my own doing, please worry not.
We kept going further inside and came across a swarm of bat magic beasts, but luck wasn't on their side for they were in a narrow passage.
Alma's Spirit Magic controlled the terrain on the ceiling and caved it in, flattening them all at once. No mercy.
Each one of them is low leveled, nevertheless getting your blood sucked by a swarm of these bats could spell serious danger. Yet this strategy ignores all that danger.
Really glad she got to learn Earth elemental Spirit Magic. In places like this cave where earth is all around us and our opponents, we're virtually invincible.
Grounds, walls, ceilings, all of them have turned into lethal weapons. It's quite terrifying when you think about it.
Even though we still got a lot of MP and stamina left, I was thinking of heading back ending our first excursion, but then I noticed some curious lifeforce reactions.
Mana and lifeforce reactions from magic beasts have this particular sharp sensation to them.
On the other hand, people's are like this soft round stuff. They can differ by person, like say, Alma's has this soothing, relieving feeling to it... Which kinda makes me sound like a pervert, so let's stop it.
I noticed reactions from one quite strong magic beast and around five people deeper inside.
If I had to guess, a group of adventurers are fighting that beast.
...Are they gonna be fine? If we go with the averages, these people's life and mana sizes are probably around a bit over level 15.
One of them has a super weak reaction even. This person is either level 1, or a kid who hasn't come of age yet. Why'd they bring them here.
Facing them is a magic beast that's way over level 20, or maybe even on a level 30s range. Honestly, I don't think this party stands a chance against that thing.
