Chapter 191: The Pure Ancient Mana and the Guardian Part 4

My name is Ishana. I am a magician since I was a kid. My talents in magic have been exceptional and outstanding that my parents are quite proud of my progress. Mastering spells and magic skills here and there helped me overtake all of the magicians who started the same time as me... until I met Yami.

Yami is a boy who is also outstanding in magic. He is quite good at fighting and although he is not that skilled in many kinds of magic, he excels a lot in battles, allowing countless of the rookie magicians nicknamed him as "The incinerator" due to his mastery in using flame magic. Not only in melee, but also range fight, he won't be defeated that easily.

Both of us are childhood friends and as magicians who compete with each other, we progress together until today. Both of us are competing to exceed the other to get stronger.

Then, a special mission was given to us since we have shown exceptional magic mastery and it is time for us to undergo missions. This time, we will be accompanying someone who is also a newbie but has a great record in the magician society.

We thought that the person we will be meeting is someone insignificant but we were wrong as the one who will accompany us is none other than the one and only Kazuma Fukuyama.

His reputation in magician society is quite high. He also has the largest contribution to the Magician Society out of all of the newbie magicians. His magic spells are not that mentioned but he is usually seen using the Flaming Gloves and Burning Shoes magic and ability effects.

Although I find his records a little bit dubious, I immediately concluded that he relies on his luck to survive the troubles he has done so far and all the missions he succeeded on operations are all fluke and he is too reliant on his luck and his equipment rather than using his magic spells.

I am not the only one looking down on him but Yami too since the two of us don't rely on tools and will do it by our magic without any sort of help to channel out spells.

The moment we saw him when we met up, he was just plain looking and he doesn't even show too much energy as a magician. He is much more civilian than a magician like us.

However, that was broken when he already shows his prowess during the ogre invasion of the nearby village we found earlier. He was attacking without even much help. And just like Yami, he uses flame magic. However, I noticed his flame is different compared to Yami's spells.  Most of his flames burn only while Yami's ability explodes. It is more self-explanatory which of their magic spells deals more damage right? However, Kazuma's abilities are more flexible than Yami and he seems to be toying with the enemies.

I didn't confirm his abilities much since I am busy fighting against the ogres but he is the one who managed to free the villagers and managed to kill a group of ogres in a few minutes all by himself. I didn't believe it at first but now I am convinced.

Earlier, I already woke up from my slumber. My instincts kicked in when I detected a heavy pressure caused by the demonic presence I felt in the surroundings. I was inside the tent so I didn't know what is going on outside. Opening the entrance of my tent, I check what is happening, and there, I witnessed Kazuma under the night sky, surrounded by wolves that are corrupted by chaos and darkness which means they are already demonic beings.

Seeing the number of demonic beings nearby, I was a little bit terrified. This is the first time I have witnessed something like this. I usually fight with other magicians and some monsters in practice so I never actually fought against demons and demonic beings head-on.

However, my curiosity won over my fear as I am wondering why Kazuma is surrounded by demonic beings. There, on his left hand, I noticed a small being squirming. Since some glittering things behind it look like some wings, I suspected it was a pixie. However, why is Kazuma holding one?

During that time, the demonic beings attack together Kazuma who remains indifferent to the situation. I didn't blink at what will happen next but I also did not jump in to help as my fear nailed me at the place, making me feel pathetic.

What I didn't expect is that Kazuma raising his hand in the air and snapping it. It was a split second one and several lightning bolts fell from the sky and fell towards the demonic beings. It's a quick but fatal execution that the moment I started blinking, the demonic beings are already killed and burned to toast.

The demonic presence earlier remains but it has a lesser impact compared earlier after the deaths of the demonic beings. Then, I saw Kazuma kill the pixie on his hands. I was about to stop him when Kazuma didn't even blink as he did the execution. The moment the pixie on his hand died, the heaviest feeling of the demonic presence disappeared.

Now I am wondering whether this guy is a real newbie or a dangerous magician hiding his ability. That is the real mystery...

...

Morning came, Blue already notified earlier about the Cooldown of the Tower of Babel's lives left has finally replenished. I already managed to reach the 11th floor but it is harder to continue climbing with many of the enemies currently not helping to be easily killed, causing me to remain on the 11th floor until I get stronger again.

Yami also woke up from his slumber but he is still an idiot and a musclehead so I didn't bother to talk to him. Ishana is the one who talked to him about why they suddenly passed out and everything.

As for the pixie, I think she will be waking up soon but I don't think we can afford to keep on camp and wait for her waking up so before she opens her eyes, we will be departing to reach the place we call the Church of Order as the chances of a captive Japanese being held there are much greater than you think.
