Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 239

Episode 239: Star Tree (7)

Galen, who had calmed down his emotions with the composure of a wizard, brought up the entire status window before his eyes.

At some point, I had learned so many magic spells that they were blocking my vision, so I only called in one or two that I needed, but this time I needed to check.

Shh …

The lightning that had been surrounding the staff head disappeared in an instant, and a stream of water naturally took its place. Small eddies swirled in the air as if a vortex had formed.

The fusion magic power was soon exhausted. To begin with, there was only a little magic power left in the Wall Power Star, so even if you mixed it with other magic powers and increased the amount by nine times, it was not much.

But that alone was enough to observe the changes in the status window.

‘Of course, the jewel magic remains unchanged.’

Water manipulation, life, storm.

These three spells didn’t even increase the progress bar by 1%.

It was natural. The leveling speed would drop after passing the self-study level, especially since the magic had already reached the jewel level.

Even if I just focused on training all day, I could go up very slowly. If I sparred, I could go up a little faster. Even so, it would only take a year to go up by one level.

Of course, as you can see from the fact that all the other gem wizards are old, it was normal for it to be that slow, but Galen was in a much more advantageous position in that he could see the progress, albeit slowly, with his own eyes, which kept him motivated.

Anyway, the growth of the jewel magic was very slow unless you used the status window cheat, that is, defeated strong enemies and gained experience. There was no way it would be noticeable even if you used only this much magic power.

‘The golden poles are also unchanged.’

Pitch black, nothingness, earth, deterioration.

Magic that has reached 100% progress at level 69, but is blocked from leveling up because it is not a gem. I had no expectations for these either. If there is to be any meaningful change, you will have to start with a gem.

Ultimately, there are two key points.

[Wall Force Lv.66]

[55% progress to next level]

[Liberation of Sky Lv.44]

[11% progress to next level]

These were magic spells that were stolen from the Jewel Wizard and guaranteed to directly level up to the level 69 Golden Extreme.

‘After confirming that Sky Liberation’s level went up, even though I only used water flow manipulation with fusion magic, the progress of Wall Force and Sky Liberation went up. The speed was different though.’

There is a difference of 22 levels between the top gold and top silver, so even if they gain the same amount of experience points, the percentage increase should naturally be different.

That wasn’t the problem. The problem was that when I used water manipulation, the levels of other magic went up for no reason.

‘It’s not like I have no idea where it’s going.’

The status window doesn’t show the process. It only shows the results. At least that’s what Galen has experienced so far.

If you catch a bad guy in a fancy, flashy, and amazing way, you get an art score bonus, and if you catch it in a dirty way, you get a score deducted. There’s no such thing. You just have to use magic somehow.

If the standard for ‘using magic’ is ‘consuming magic power’.

When creating the fusion magic, the magic of the Wall Force and the magic of Sky Liberation were both used, so whatever you did with the fusion magic, it was judged that both of those magics were consumed, and the experience points were gained… Can’t you guess that?

If this guess is true.

Galen no longer has to worry about imbalances between spells. All he has to do is use his fusion magic and all spells will grow at the same time. In the long run, the levels will level out.

‘Isn’t there any vampire rolling around somewhere? I’d know for sure if I caught one.’

Galen whetted his appetite. It was so strong that even the most malignant strains of the liver wouldn’t notice, making it difficult to experiment.

However, since I have confirmed that it is effective in solo training, I think it will be the same in the advanced form of sparring.

Since I have so many learned magic spells, it was difficult to use them all evenly by forcibly rotating them, but now I can use them as I like without worrying about distribution.

That was enough for Galen. His daily routine almost always included exercise and sparring with Lilia. It was an improvement in his daily routine.

“Brother?”

At that moment, Lilia peeked her face out in front of Galen. Her eyes sparkled right in front of his nose.

“Oh, yes?”

“I tried not to disturb you because you seemed to be studying something about a cane, but you kept giggling from the middle of it.”

“Ahem, did I do that?”

“You looked really happy. You still do. I guess the cane was a really good thing.”

“That’s right.”

It is not logical to say that using water magic will raise your lightning magic level, so let’s leave out the story about the status window where experience points increase simultaneously.

When I told her that the staff could fuse magic, and that fusion magic was certain to be able to counter any magic, Lilia was impressed.

“So does that mean I can utilize all of my brother’s magical power to its fullest potential?”

She was smart, but her mindset was pure. She understood the true value of the staff without Galen having to explain it in detail. Especially in battle, it was sharp enough to slap a veteran in the face.

“Congratulations! Star Tree gave you the perfect gift, brother!”

“Should I ask for one for Lilia too?”

“I don’t even have the magical power to fuse. What I have in the warehouse is enough! If I can store my sacred power, it’s the same as increasing my sacred power.”

“I also got a warehouse.”

“Oh, then I guess it’s a substitute for a hammer!”

“A hammer?”

“It’s a made-to-measure hammer.”

“Did the earth fairies make it for you?”

“Yes! That time, only I got a weapon, so this time, you should think that only you got a weapon!”

The earth elves and sky elves are not the same, and even though they are made of precious metals, the iron mace and the starwood staff, which are just secondary weapons, can never be placed on the same level.

Galen knew why Lilia was saying that. She was telling him not to feel bad or burdened for taking the treasure alone. She was fine.

“If the average human nature of the world were half of Lilia’s, the world would be free of conflict. How can you be so kind?”

Galen muttered with a warm smile. Lilia rolled her eyes.

“It’s not like I’m just always kind, right?”

“is it so?”

“If my brother says something mean to me, I want to hit him a few times, and if he becomes strong on his own, I get a little jealous!”

It’s not like you’re not a good person just because you have the emotions that a person should have. You’re even cuter because you’re trying so hard to say things like that.

“Fusion magic? When I first saw it, I thought you were saying it to me, brother, and I almost got angry.”

“yes?”

“I thought it wasn’t the staff’s ability, but rather that you had fused magical power with your own power.”

“iced coffee.”

“Since you’ve been learning magic-related things just sitting there, I thought you’d steal the Star Tree’s magic this time too.”

“Unfortunately not.”

Galen smiled bitterly. Even if the status window disappeared right now, he would still be a proper gem wizard, but stealing magic on the spot was a complete fraud that even gems couldn’t do. There was nothing he could do if the status window didn’t respond.

[??]

[Progress 1%]

… No, it’s not that I didn’t react at all. It’s just that there was still something I didn’t know about left.

“Brother, you are integrating magic by lineage, right?”

“Isn’t that so?”

“If we go further, wouldn’t it be possible to integrate all of those systems at once?”

“uh…….”

“That’s why I thought so. I thought maybe you got a clue from looking at the star tree and got to that stage.”

“… It’s still a far-fetched story. The integration of each system hasn’t even been completed yet.”

A strange light gleamed in Galen’s eyes.

“But… as Lilia said, it’s not impossible that it might ultimately turn out that way.”

If the progress of this unknown status window is the progress of something like the ‘full system magic fusion’ that Lilia mentioned.

In the future, it may become possible to use raw fusion magic without the Starwood Staff.

Even if it’s the progress of something else, if you just use the starwood staff a lot, you might get the feel of it.

“I have to practice using the cane diligently.”

“First of all, make sure to get it from the warehouse!”

“Oh, of course you should.”

“Actually… I feel more connected to the warehouse side.”

“yes?”

“I also got something from the star tree? Not a cane, though.”

Lilia whispered with a smile.

The banquet scheduled for that evening was hastily changed into a festival.

Although no one knew the exact condition of the Star Tree unless they were the high-ranking officials who directly fed it magic, everyone clearly saw that it had regained its energy to the point where leaves were sprouting in the winter.

How could this not be a happy occasion? If you are happy, you should hold a festival.

“… But is it possible to prepare that in half a day?”

“The banquet was originally scheduled.”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“Then, if everyone holds a banquet at the same time, wouldn’t that be a festival?”

Surprisingly, by the standards of the Sky Fairies, that was a very normal way of thinking.

This was because our nomadic elves, descendants of the steppes and showing the spirit of Mongolia, enjoyed the festival with great gusto.

Just slaughtering a lot of livestock, barbecuing, and drinking alcohol was a festival. I wish it had a savage feel to it, but seeing everyone grilling meat with such strict and serious faces, it was just…

“But it’s still fun!”

“I don’t mean to say it’s not fun.”

Even when traveling, it was rare for them to hunt directly, rather than chewing on pre-packaged jerky, so a barbecue party with thousands of participants seemed novel to Lilia. It was also unusual to Galen.

To be blunt, the Northwestern Archdiocese was rather impoverished compared to the southern archdioceses, and this was especially true since it was located at the northernmost tip of the Northwestern region.

Anyway, the two of them were the type of people who didn’t really care whether they stayed at a luxury hotel or slept on the street, or ate expensive course meals or scraps of food.

Regardless of the quality of the festival, it was satisfying enough that the Sky Fairies were so kind to the two of them.

“Come on, Galen. Have a drink!”

Silpa, who is called a different species by her own kind, is definitely more expressive than other sky fairies. Today is the first time I met her, but she approached me without any sense of distance, as if we had built up a lot of intimacy.

“What is this?”

“It’s alcohol. What could it be?”

“Oh, this is the fairy wine from the legend?! Made from the morning dew?!”

“Huh? If you collect the morning dew, isn’t it just water? This is liquor made from mare’s milk.”

“Eek.”

Galen originally didn’t like drinking other types of alcohol, only lightly drinking beer or a few sips, but he tried it after hearing that it had a low alcohol content.

“oh?”

“to?”

The sour taste was followed by a subtle sweetness. The alcohol was barely noticeable.

Even Lilia, who had been a little gloomy because it wasn’t a magical drink from a fairy tale, brightened up. She kept sipping it because it was delicious.

Silpa smiled brightly, liking the two people’s reactions.

“We’re wizards too. We wouldn’t enjoy strong alcohol, right?”

“Fairies are physically much stronger than humans. Their standards for strong alcohol may be different.”

“That’s true. Anyway, is this level of alcohol okay for you?”

“It’s perfectly fine. I guess you could just call it a drink.”

At this level, even if you eat it on an empty stomach, you will be full before you get drunk and won’t be able to eat any more. Since there are already mountains of meats grilled in various ways, it would be perfect as an accompaniment.

Even after the sun went down, the festival spirit continued. Campfires blooming everywhere drove away the darkness.

Because Galen and Lilia were too big for the average fairies, they only greeted and became acquainted with the fairies who were worth more than gold.

Since I had to be at least a jewel to hang out with them without feeling pressured beyond light conversation, the only people around me were Padin, Shamita, and Shilpa.

“You can stay as long as you want.”

In a relaxed atmosphere, Silpa opened her mouth.

“I don’t think the two of you will want to live here forever. How long will you be staying?”

“Well, I haven’t decided yet.”

Galen answered, pressing his eyes, which were slightly tired from the feeling of fullness.

“If I were just going to rest and go, a few days would be enough, but I’d like to get some results while I’m here.”

“Performance? You mean the Star Tree Warehouse?”

“I already got that. It’s a little different.”

“…huh?”

Silpa blinked at the words that came out so casually.

“You already… got it? The warehouse?”

“Before coming to the banquet hall.”

Galen rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a piece of wood. It was a round wooden plaque with a geometric pattern engraved on it.

“Isn’t this the key?”

“… … .”

The sky fairies were speechless.
