The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

My yell echoed in the area.

Milly became smaller and smaller as she got even closer to the ground.

I dont do anything then shell!

Silverie! Ill leave the rest to you!

Zeph?! What are you doing?!

Im going to save Milly! Shirushu, an Elixir!

O-Okay!

Shirushu promptly bit on a White Sage and cast Elixir.

At the same time, I pressed my tongue against her mouth, hoping to snag the White Sage leaf as quickly as possible.

After all, the Elixir spell was one that simply increased the efficiency of an herb. I would be able to receive its effect way faster this way. I usually wouldnt do something like this, but this was an emergency.

I unsummoned Divine Greatsword Ainbelle and jumped onto Uruks back after my magic power was restored.

Uruk, on the other hand, became enraged as soon as he felt me on his back.

This stupid horse! Stop it!I dont have the time to play with you.

I grabbed a hold of his reins and channelled magic power through them.

neighhh?!!

Uruks reins were used to keep him under control. Milly had done the same thing. It was possible to regulate Uruks strength and the way he went by channeling magic power through them.

As I held onto the reins I ordered him to run. After all, a familiar had no way of going against the master who provided them with magical power.

Go Uruk! Youre running in order to save your master!

Neigh

Uruks face was hesitant, but this wasnt the time for gripes.

Uruk flew down towards Milly as I swung the reins.

Uruk raised his hooves and began to run rather calmly. Seeing this, I swung the reins once more.

Run faster! Go!

NEIGHHHH!

Uruk started to run down in a vertical line, most likely in an attempt to retaliate for my scolding.

The carriage couldnt withstand his speed and began to break.

Lydia and the others managed to stay in the carriage despite the fact that it was falling apart.

They seem to be having it tough as well.

As I thought that I saw Lydia waving her hand at me.

Were fine here, dont worry! She said.

But

Were fine, were fine. Dont worry about us and just concentrate Zeph-chi!

Ill take you up on your word then.I have no choice but to trust Lydia here.

When I turned to face forward again, I found that I was approaching the ground at a frightening rate.

I lowered my body as well to try to resist the wind pressure.

Uruk then accelerated even faster as I got within a hands reach of Milly.

M-Milly!

I reached out my hand as far as possible, however it wasnt enough.

With the tip of my finger, I was able to touch her boots, but not nearly enough to fully grasp them.

And the ground was getting closer and closer.

URUK! FASTER!

NEIGH!!!

Uruk went even faster as he kicked the air even harder.

A bit more, a bit more

My fingers somehow managed to wrap around Millys foot and I quickly pulled her towards me.I breathed a sigh of relief after managing to grab a hold of the unconscious Milly.

Thank god

Okay Uruk, were done here, go up!

neighhh!! Uruk neighed and kicked the air in order to try and go up, but the ground was already way too close.

Its all over if we crash now

I looked down towards the ground and cast Platinum Slash.

The white light penetrated the ground deeply, dividing it and forming a small valley.

Uruk continued to fall down as he entered the valley in an arc.

Damn Will it be enough?!

Uruk Dont give up!!!

NEIGH!!

Uruk kicked with all fours and flapped his wings in an effort to slow us down.

I clenched onto him so as not to fall down, bracing myself for the impact.

Uruk kicked the air once more, this time successfully trampling on the ground and landing.

Hyaaaaaaa!!! Lydia screamed behind us.

Along with her scream, there was a loud blast.

Looking back, I could see Lydia clutching Shirushu and Silverie, who were both unconscious inside the broken carriage.

Phew That was quite the thrilling ride.

How in the world are you unharmed?

Just before the crash I just POW and we landed. Quite nice, right? Lydia said, making a strange gesture.

I dont get her at all Well either way Im glad that theyre okay.

I stared down at the unconscious Milly, still awestruck by Lydias abilities.

I was just glad that we were somehow able to save her.

Well then, all thats left is I said as I looked up.

I could see the Dark Wyvern staring down at us from the sky. We wouldnt be able to get out of this if we didnt take care of it first.

Lydia, take both of them and run. Prolea should be quite close by. You should be able to reach it in two or three days by foot.

What are you planning on doing Zeph-chi?

Ill take care of that flying chicken.

There you go again. Lydia said with a smile.

Milly-chans unconscious as well, right? Should I take her with me? One more person wont make that much of a difference to me. Lydia said this as she gazed at Milly, who was perched atop Uruks back, while clutching Shirushu and Silverie under each armpit.

No, thats fine. Ill take her with me. If Im alone, I wont be able to replenish my magic power while still controlling Uruk, and I might need her battle prowess when she wakes up.

Okay, I got it. Since its you were talking about then I dont need to worry Zeph-chi. Do your best, okay? Lydia said as she got closer and kissed me on the cheek.

She ran away from me while skipping and winked back, as I was still dazed from the kiss.

Well then, see ya

Y-Yea I said as I turned my back towards her and once again grabbed a hold of Uruks reins.

Ill have you obey me for just a bit more Uruk.

neigh

Uruk glared at me as if he were staring at his arch-enemy, but he complied nevertheless.

Kuku, now thats how it should be.

I took the reins and used them to bind Milly to myself while grinning at Uruk.

Urgh Milly sighed softly as she leaned against my chest as I tightened the reins around my waist.

Like this I would be able to use both mine and Millys magic power in order to control Uruk.

While in that position I used my hand to search around Millys chest for something

Found it.

Im borrowing this Milly.

From the bag tied around her chest I took out a Magic Power Recovery Medicine and all of the gemstones that she had.

The ones that I had on me wouldnt be enough. However, combined with Millys provisions that I would have just enough.

Uruk! Go!!

neigh

Uruk was grumpy as he flew towards the Dark Wyvern in the sky, reluctantly. He ran up the sky, cutting the wind and steadily rising his pace.

Well then, lets check how much magic power its got left.

Dark Wyvern

Level 112

Magic Power: 2,523,121 / 4,215,875

It appears that we were able to shave it down quite a bit in the fight just now, but taking it down on my own wont be easy.For the time being, the best course of action would be to use Uruks nimbleness to draw it in and force it to focus on us rather than Lydia and the others.Uruk should be able to do it without difficulty now that he is no longer responsible for pulling the carriage.

Ain Ill need your help once more.

Sure thing gramps!

The enormous Divine Greatsword Ainbelle emerged as a blinding light wrapped around my hand. It was usually difficult for me to wield the greatsword, but now that I was on horseback, it felt completely normal.

I wielded the greatsword like a lance in front of me, commanding Uruk to charge straight at the Dark Wyvern.

GYAAAA?!!! The Dark Wyvern shrieked in surprise.

Uruk paid little attention to it as he charged headlong into the Dark Wyverns jet-black body with all he had.

NEIGHHH!!

In the meantime I also constantly swung Divine Greatsword Ainbelle.

I felt like I was about to let go of the sword with each swing, but I somehow held on to it as I proceeded to hack at the Dark Wyvern from atop Uruk.

I cast White Crash at the same time Uruk kicked the Dark Wyvern with its hind legs.

The white ball appeared behind the Dark Wyvern and crashed at its back.

After the white smoke dispersed, I found the Dark Wyverns bloodshot eyes looking at me.

GYA!

As it started to pursue us, it let out a short scream.

Good, good. It will be our victory if it follows us like this for a while and I am able to shake it off afterwards.Even though Uruk is a tad quicker than the Dark Wyvern now that he isnt pushing the carriage, we wont be able to flee if we fly about aimlessly.

Gramps, why not use Blue Wall?

In order to use Blue Wall, I must be near a wall or the ground. Thats also the reason Silverie didnt use it.

I cant deny that my current plan is very close to that thought.

As Uruk sped through the air, I took in my surroundings before I noticed a rocky mountain in the east that towered above all else.

That should do it.

Uruk, head for that rocky mountain.

Neigh Uruk made a disdainful expression, but he nevertheless changed course and flew towards the mountain.

Good boy.

Okay, this should be fine Ain lets go!

Okay!

I used Divine Greatsword Ainbelle to absorb the Quadra Fusion Spell White Sphere Square.

Good. All of the arrangements have been completed.

GYA!!

The Dark Wyvern began to cast a spell.Red Bullet huh

Its no use.

I cast Time Square and while time was stopped I cast White Wall twice.

Double Fusion: Double White Wall.

My hand emitted a wall made up of white aura that fully blocked the rain of fire.

I could block a number of powerful spells as long as I stacked White Wall on itself.

It had a fast cast time as well, allowing me to deploy it on time even if the enemy had already begun casting.

Furthermore, I only needed to stack it twice in order to completely block a spell such as Red Bullet.

Even though its impossible for me to cancel out spells with as little as Silverie can, I still have my own tricks up my sleeve.

Well then, I guess this area should do it.
