The Demi-God's Adventure Chapter 6: Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I slowly started to open my eyes.

I got up and wore my coat and shoes.

I went out my room and walked downstairs to get my breakfast.

「Ah! I'm sorry.. we don't have enough ingredients to make food, please accept this sandwich for now.」

I accept the sandwich that the inn staff gave me.. I should really start to know their names.

Ahhmm.. mmm..

Delicious!

Seriously, every food this inn have tastes good.

I wonder when Enki-san will come.

「..Shall we go now, Arthur?」

「Yes, let's g- wait.. How long have you been standing there!」

I was surprised by Enki-san who was standing near the door.

I was too focused eating this sandwich that I forgot to check my surroundings.

I still have much to learn..

「Let's go.」

Enki-san and I left while the inn staffs see us off.

As we walk by the market, people were startled by his presence and bowed their heads.

They really respect Enki-san so much.

Wondering where we are going, I ask.

「Oi, Enki-san where are we going? 」

「Hm? No idea, let's just go somewhere without people. And just call me Enki, got it?」

「..Yes」

We reached the gate where Enki and I met the soldiers.

This time, I see different soldiers guarding the entrance.

「... G-Good morning, Enki-san」

「G-Good morning」

The guards said while stuttering.

「Huh? Yeah, good work.」

We left the kingdom and went to the forest.

We walked for about half an hour.

「Let's do it here.」

We stopped at the abandoned castle where I met Enki for the first time.

This time the ogres are gone.

「Shall we start?」

「Yeah!」

I started to stretch my body to get myself ready.

「... What are you doing?...」

「Huh? .. I'm stretching..」

Enki stares at me with pensive-like eyes.

「..... Now then, I will measure your mana to take the appropriate steps for your training.」

Enki reached out his thumb and touched my forehead, I can feel something inside me.

「...W-what?! I c-can't measure it?!!」

Enki took a few steps back.

He seemed to be disturbed about something.

「Ah? Are you okay?」

Enki cleared his throat

「... Yeah, I was surprised that I can't measure your mana, yours is probably higher than mine that's why.」

「...Okay」

「Ahem.... I will teach you the basic of magic... Do you already know the classes magic?」

「Yes」

「...Then this will be faster... First, show me what you got.. 」

「What I got? hmm...」

I think I'll cast the spell I learned yesterday from the Guild Manager.

Hmm... let's see..

「<>」

「Advanced-class magic, Sleep?! On top of that, a Chantless one?! Oi oi oi... do you really need me to teach magic!?」

「I learned this from the Guild Manager yesterday..」

「... If you are capable of doing this much then there's no need for me to teach you...」

Enki let out a heavy sigh..

「Then, how am I supposed to learn new spells?」

「... There's a library a few blocks away from the inn, you can use that. Or, you can have this..」

Poof!

Enki waved his hand and a thick old book appeared.

「This is a first-class grimoire, it contains inferior-class to ultrclass magic spells, although not all of them are useful in combat.」

「Oohh! Thank you so much, Enki.」

「Yeah, well I'm off since I have nothing to teach you anymore.」

zwuaann!

Enki disappeared with a discreet look on his face.

I check on the grimoire Enki gave me, it has weird lines all over the cover and it looks really old.

I tried to open it but it won't so I tried to do open it like a magician.

「Abracadabra!」

Nope, it didn't work.

Then how about..

「Open Sesame!」

「OPEN UP YOU IDIOT!!」

Haa... haa..

It's useless I can't open it.

I hold the book tightly and tried to burn it with magic but I don't know any flame type magic.

ziiiingg

「Huh?!」

The book glimmered as soon as I tried to burn it, it seems that this books opens only if you pour mana in it.

zwuaan!

The book vanished.. no- rather, it was transferred inside my head?!

I suddenly have the knowledge about various spells in my head.

Without wasting any time, I tried all the spells I know.

「<>!」

I cast an Ultrclass magic that can destroy this vast forest in mere second but since I improved controlling the magic circle's radius, I can limit it only within this abandoned castle.

I've tested all 251 spells I learned, it's a bit tiring since I have to speak to cast the spell.

Now that I'm done, I don't know what to do anymore.

Hmmm...

「Should I try clearing a quest?」

Yeah, I should try out my strength.

Yosh! I'm gonna fly to the guild.

「<>!」

「<>!」

I cast an Ultrclass flight magic followed by an Advanced-class Light magic to hide myself from the people below.

I can also go there with <>, but I want to see what the Capital looks like from above.

I reached the capital's gate in no time.

The capital is round with the Royal Castle at the center, I should visit them sometime.

The marketplace is livelier as usual and from up here I can see demi-humans from a distance.

This is my first time seeing them since I walk on the same road everytime.

I thought there would be a discrimination against other races but it seems that's not the case.

I reached the Guild and gradually landed.

I disabled my <> and went inside the Guild.

There are only few people inside looking at the quest board.

I looked at the board and it was full of silver and bronze rank quests.

Finding a flower, Subjugating a Wolf?! Seriously?! How can that be a quest?

I looked further atop of the low ranked quests and found a Ruby class quest.

Quest Rank : Ruby

Progress: NONE

Category: Dungeon

Location: Near the Lusus Naturae Mountain

Quest Details: Subjugate the Raven Dragon.

Clear the Dungeon by killing all the monsters.

Don't die.

Ohh a Dungeon? I guess this should work..

I head over to the guild receptionist to make the quest authorized.

I took the Quest and pretended to put it inside my coat although I'm just putting it in my <>

「Eh?!! T-this.. Are you sure?」

「...Yeah」

The guild manager agreed and granted me the authorization to clear the dungeon.

I walk out of the guild and flew towards the Gate of the capital.

「Ahh! You're the guy who's always with Enki-san.」

「Ah yes..」

I cast <> and took out the Quest.

「....do you guys know where Lusus Naturae mountain is?」

The soldiers quivered as I asked about the mountain.

「Y-yes... B-but that's w-w-where the R-raven d-d-dragon recides, s-so-」

「Yeah I know... can you tell me where it is?」

「K-keep heading towards North-west from here, y-you'll get there in a few hours if you walk-」

「Oh! Thank you.」

fshoooo!

「We should inform Enki-san about his death in advance...」

「Y-yeah..」

I heard them whispered to each other as I flew towards the direction they told me.

I reached the Lusus Naturae Mountain and beside it are thousands of monsters lurking around a huge tower bigger than the mountain.

「This will be fun.」

I said to myself while laughing vigorously.

「<>!」

I cast a magic circle wide enough to surround the entire mountain and tower.

The Meteorites are killing all the monsters around the area, even the tower is getting destroyed.

Rooooarrrr!!!

A loud prolonged cry was heard, it was the Raven Dragon.

Its body was almost cremated by the metorites, purple blood is flowing out from its body.

I landed on top of it to check if it's still alive... its dead.

I took its severed head and put it in my <>.

I gradually ascend and looked below.

The tower was completely devastated, craters can be seen here and there, the mountain is also ravaged by the attack.

I should go back.
