Chapter 145: Light Magic
The white sphere bathed the room in soft light, and Gerald was watching with great expectation and interest, however, nothing else happened.
"Eh? Is that it?"
"What do you mean? Is it not enough for you?" Elly pouted, a bit angry at Gerald. 'Maybe I was wrong to think he was different! Just like Cot, he is unsatisfied with my magic, as if he can do better! Hmph!'
"Well, that light is pretty nice, but don't you have any combat spells?" Gerald questioned, unconcerned about her changing facial expressions.
"I have a few Earth spells that are used for combat, but I don't know what-"
"No, no, no! I'm asking you if you have any Light combat spells?"
"Eh?" sound came from Elly, who made the most confused look possible.
Listening to the conversation from the side, Trevor felt a pressure building inside him and had to intervene, "What do you mean Light spells used for combat?! How can you fight using light, that's ridiculous!"
"Is it?" Gerald lifted his eyebrow watching him sideways.
"Of course!"
"Is that so?"
"YES!"
"Hmm..." Rubbing his chin, Gerald observed Trevor for a minute. "Wait, you are actually serious Now that's interesting!"
Trevor almost blew off his top, "What the fuck is so interesting about me? Stop spouting nonsense if you have no clue how Light magic works!"
"Hehe, hahaha!" With Gerald suddenly bursting into laughter, both Elly and Trevor became increasingly confused.
"What is so funny? Do perhaps know something we don't? Can you even use Light magic?!" Trevor shouted, being at the limit of his patience.
"Of course.not!" Gerald almost said something he shouldn't. As such, he gave an innocent smile, "I'm just spouting nonsense, as you just said!"
Trevor gave him a deep look and then turned around, "Hmph, fucking weirdo! I don't want to be your friend anymore."
After the guy left, Elly turned to Gerald with complex emotions, "Do you really not know how to use Light magic?"
"Didn't I just say that?" Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Jumping back to her feet she quickly went to explain her situation, "It's not a problem at all! I'm not a true member of the Mad Weasels, I just tagged along for the last month. Even if I decide to leave suddenly, it won't affect them at all!"
Right after her explanation ended, the office door opened and the important figures stepped out as the discussion and planning just ended.
"We'll talk about it later. Let's go and see what's the plan for the beasts first!"
Gerald, and a few others, didn't participate in the discussions since there was nothing to add. He was one of the youngest, weakest, and least experienced warriors, so he was fine with it. He was not the one doing the heavy lifting, after all.
"Simply being a guide is easy and stress-free. I'll let those meat-heads do all the work and then take some small advantages for myself!"
Going in for a final discussion, they were informed of the following plan:
The Bishop would spread the news of the Minecrawler King and organize the warriors outside in a single giant group and lead them to clear out the way.
Meanwhile, the Dark Lions and Mad Weasels would bring heavy weaponry and metal chains to bring down the beast. Dark Lions were experts in taking down stronger opponents and were prepared for such a situation. And although the beast this time was somewhat out of their reach, they should still be able to bring it down with double or triple the manpower.
The warriors led by the Bishop would be the ones distracting the hundreds of Minecrawlers, while the elites would take on the King.
"It's a decent plan I just hope it works as it should," Gerald murmured.
"Let's go! We need to prepare the gear! If anyone has any experience hunting Wargs, you are welcome to join!" Dark Knight announced with his powerful voice.
"Huh? Why would you go and hunt Wargs now?" Gerald asked.
"Heh! The kid doesn't know! Are you sure you should play with the big boys?" Appearing out of nowhere, Cot once again had something to say, although it was not really productive.
"Shut up, Cot!" Elly berated him once again. Then, turning to Gerald once again, she spoke her thought, "If I understood correctly they want to refine the Warg's toxic body fluids to make a poison for the Minecrawler King."
Gerald thought for a while and then nodded, "That makes sense I was wondering how they would kill it, but I guess this could work."
The few that decided to go on a hunt followed Dark Knight and his team while the rest took the day off. Gerald, in the meantime, went to the restaurant and ordered a warm meal and then went to find a sunny place to rest.
He took out a notebook and ink and started writing down his ideas for Light magic.
From the books that he received from the Bishop, a few touched on the topic of Light manipulation theory and spell formation, but in his eyes, they were severely lacking.
"If people don't even know what atoms are, then it's no wonder that their Light magic is so freaking weak! How could they possibly know about photons?" Realizing how severely lacking their knowledge was, he decided to do something about it. Also, talking with Elly gave him a few ideas for Light spells and so he immediately decided to put them to paper.
Although many of them were not all that suitable for fighting beasts, mainly Blinding Light and Illusions, since most animals relied on smell and hearing to fight, they were still extremely useful against humans, who relied mostly on sight.
"Invisibility, lasers that can burn through everything, mind-bending illusions The possibilities are almost endless!" Having written many dozen pages during the day, Gerald found himself daydreaming about the different possibilities this branch of magic would bring.
