Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 90

In the end, I made it to just before the entrance to the upper levels, but everywhere was crowded with people, and I didn't get into any battles at all.

I've submitted an exploration permit up to the upper levels just in case, but unlike last time when I had a powerful guardian with me, today I'm alone.

I was a bit hesitant about what to do, but with Akame's eyes, I shouldn't be caught off guard easily, and as long as I'm careful, I should be fine.

I can do this. I can do this.

With that determination, I stepped into the upper levels.

Well, not really stepping since I'm floating.

Hahaha... Well...

I think my decision to proceed was correct for the verification of the "Fairy's Eyes."

I didn't expect it to reveal not only the magical and life force of living beings but also the magical particles used when casting spells.

There was a battle taking place right after entering the upper levels, and I noticed it when magic was used.

It seems that when casting magic, one uses their own magical power, but for more efficient and powerful spells, they utilize the magical particles in the surroundings.

They synchronize the surrounding magical particles with their own magical power, blend them together, and then cast the spell.

After the magic is cast, it breaks down into magical particles again and disperses into the surroundings.

The larger the spell, the more difficult it is, even for those who can use magic, and failure to cast it successfully is considered lucky, but in some cases, it can even backfire.

Elena mentioned that it's not easy to do.

It's impressive that Rubin can do it repeatedly, but...

There's always someone better.

◇

Upon entering the upper levels, I defeated two deer and stealthily continued forward, aiming for the next target.

Then, as I found a lone wild boar in a hall and prepared to attack, the magical particles in the hall suddenly filled the air before any magic was cast. It seems that the "Fairy's Eyes" allow me to see this synchronization of magical particles and magical power.

Trying to assess the situation, I raised my altitude to the ceiling and scanned the surroundings. The entire hall momentarily flashed like a camera's flash.

"Stay still!"

Even though it was just a moment, the intense light dazzled my eyes, and instinctively, I turned away. Then, a loud, booming voice echoed through the hall.

Since the "Fairy's Eyes" don't rely on my own eyesight, it didn't matter if my vision was temporarily affected.

Turning towards the source of the voice, I saw something unbelievable.

The red and green membranes were not just a few centimeters thick; they were about 30 centimeters thick. The thickest I've seen among the monsters encountered so far was less than 10 centimeters.

Seriously?

As I trembled with fear, I noticed even more magical particles gathering than before.

Seriously?

Soon, my vision returned, and I saw the man preparing to use magic, extending his palm towards me.

It was a warning not to move.

Since I was stuck to the ceiling, I could always retreat to my "hideout" if necessary. I might as well see what kind of magic he's going to use.

Come to think of it, what was that magic earlier?

There are spells like flash bullets, and while dazzling attacks may seem pointless, the fact that my vision has already returned but the next attack hasn't come yet is suspicious.

Wondering about this, I turned my gaze towards the wild boar I had targeted earlier, only to see something like chains emerging from the ground and entangling its body.

As I focused on those chains, I could sense magic within them.

Is this it?

I halt it and unleash the next decisive blow.

I see.

But it's hard to believe that such magic is being used just for this single entity in such a remote location.

It's possible that it's not just this one, but that other creatures are also affected.

As I scan the surroundings to look for other creatures, suddenly, a flash brighter than before!

And without delay, a deafening roar resounds.

It feels as if lightning has struck nearby.

"What the heck?!"

Of course, my scream matches the intensity.

I happened to glance at that guy just when it happened, so I was hit full force by the light.

With both Akame's eyes and the Fairy's Eyes activated, I could feel not only the light but also the magic.

This is intense.

But thanks to this, I figured out who this guy is.

Is this guy the "Flash"?
