759 Teaching Shelia to Kick
First, we need preparation to go to explore this magicless area. I know for sure that if this place has been here for a long time, someone who wants to hide from mages would pick this place to go.
And my guess is that in the past, there could be some Aura users who tried to hide from the Evil God. And this is the most likely place to hide. Though that’s just a guess. It’s less likely that I will find any Aura user.
Is there any other magicless area in this world? Maybe.
Also, if master level mages are strong enough to survive in this place, it’s no wonder that they could use this place as a hiding spot as well. Maybe even the Evil God himself is hiding here. Then it’s no wonder that Timmy couldn’t detect the Evil God.
Well, this is just one of my guesses. But maybe I can find a clue of the whereabouts of the Evil God.
We have several master level mages now. But they are too inexperienced in fighting without magic. So I can’t bring them here.
In fact, I’m the only human who can explore this place without a care. So I guess I’ll just get my familiars to come here.
So I summoned Shelia and Graham here. As for Arin, she’s not my familiar. And she’s using blood like magic. So I think she won’t be strong enough here since I’ve seen quite powerful monsters nearby. Just Shelia and Graham. And Ray as my ride.
“Over this line is where you can’t use magic. Enter and check everything if there’s something that you can’t use. Like transformation or shadow clones. We’re going to explore this place,” I said.
.....
I drew a line on the ground to tell my familiars the border to where they can’t use magic.
They are monsters. So I don’t know if what they use is some sort of magic, or it’s some kind of racial skill. Because if it’s a racial skill, then they can still use it inside.
While watching them experimenting with their magic and coming in and out of the magicless area, I asked Victoria to create a lot of Blobbies for preparation.
In Graham’s case, his clones are from magic. So he can’t call them from inside there. And if he creates a clone from the outside and entering it, the clone will disappear.
Unlike Victoria. Since her clones are still part of her body, the Blobbies can come in without disappearing. But they can’t transform inside. So I need the Blobbies to transform first.
I also grabbed my sword-cane. Since the cane is an Aura weapon, I can still use it inside the magicless area. Using it here should be easier than Reizpear since Reizpear won’t repair if it’s inside.
It will be useful if I need to entrap something. Using the walking cane, no one would expect that a barrier would appear in a place where magic is restricted.
“Master, I don’t think I can be helpful here. The only thing I can do is to use my spearmanship. I can still fly but without magic, it will drain my stamina faster,” Graham said.
He’s using all his twelve wings to fly. But unlike usual, his wings keep flapping. As he said, he can only use his spearmanship. I guess I won’t bring him with me.
“I can’t transform but I can still run on air! This place will be good for training!” Shelia said.
Graham’s physical strength is lower than Shelia’s. But he will be less useful than Shela. And he might even be a burden here.
As for Shelia, she only thinks of this as a training. I guess I’ll bring her with me.
“Then Graham can return. And Shelia, use your human form since you want this to be a training,” I said.
I returned Graham back and Shelia transformed into her human form. Not the werewolf form where she always use to fight. But the form she took when she’s exploring the city with other girls.
Her strength in this form is about the same as master level mage’s strength without magic. So she’s still strong.
Now we’re ready to go. Just Shelia, Victoria, and I. Oh, and Ray and Airy as well.
I had some Blobbies transformed into a mask just in case I need to hide my identity. I also thought of wearing an armor, but whether it’s from the magic armor from my bracelet, or from Victoria turning herself into my armor, it will also be bad if I can’t remove them inside if I need to do something. So I just transformed Blobbies into a robe.
As for Victoria herself, she’s transformed into an earring on my left ear. She told me that it’s to make it easier for her to talk to me.
“Shelia, do you need a robe or anything?” I asked.
“Do you think that a disguise will be a good idea for me? I will stay more in Monsters World. And when I fight, I will mostly use my werewolf form. So I don’t think anyone will recognize me like this. But if you think that it could be an obstacle in the future, I will wear one. Though I think it will only obstruct my movement,” she said.
“Then you don’t need one. Let’s go then.”
This time we’re not just passing the magicless area. We will explore it.
I heard that this place should be surrounding the city inside in a circle. Let’s see if it’s real.
“Oh, right. Airy, how do you feel inside this magicless area?” I asked Airy.
“Nothing. I can still do everything without problem,” she replied.
If that’s the case, then this place might be a good place for elemental spirits to hide. Maybe we could find some.
“Then if you sense any spirit nearby, tell me. If we can get them to join us, we can get stronger faster.”
We then explore the area, we didn’t run at full speed. just making sure that I can see everything and Shelia can detect something with her nose. We just walked casually. Though I don’t think riding on Ray can be called walking.
“Oh, there’s a monster over there. It’s a huge bipedal beast monster. Shelia, do you want to fight it?” I asked.
“Sure. If it was under normal condition, I’m sure I can kill it easily. But now, I guess it’s time I learned some technique as well. This way, I can grow even stronger,” she said.
Back then after the battle in Monsters World and going to the villages where the cult has taken control of, she was almost got defeated and injured badly. She almost missed the fight in the Lawless Country.
And that made her think that she needs something other than raw strength. She will learn more skills as well.
I’m sure she can do it.
Shelia can still step on the air. But her speed is slower than usual. However, that was enough for her to dodge the giant beast’s attack.
In her human form, her claws are not as sharp as usual. So she used her fists to fight. And I taught her how to properly throw a punch. Though she can instinctively understood without having me telling her about it.
It’s over but it took a while. She defeated the monster with just her fists.
“Shelia. Here comes the next monsters. It’s my turn now. Hold these for me. and watch something that you might need to learn. You have great movement and fighting with your fists is easy. But you don’t know about kicking technique. Watch me finish that one with kicks,” I said.
I gave her the robe and the sword-cane. Then proceed to fight similar monster that she fought before. This time, I used only kicks to show her what she missed.
With her speed and her movement, her leg muscle is more developed than her arms. If she learned how to kick properly, she could defeat enemies faster.
Maybe not to the point like how I did it in the friendly match. Using the frog leap tactic to defeat the opponent one by one. That’s only for hit and run tactic.
But for her, it will be a proper fight with her kicks only. She will surely grow stronger.
After watching the werewolves fight, I can tell that they prefer to swing their claws at their enemies. And sometimes use bites.
If she learn how to kick and showed it to other werewolves, they can get even stronger.
I defeated the giant beast monster with a few kicks. With this, Shelia will be interested in kicking more.
After that, we continued exploring. And I let her face the monsters alone since she said that she wanted to learn more about kicking.
As expected, her kick is much stronger than her punch. Although her claws are more lethal, having able to kick will make her move more unpredictable since no one would expect a werewolf with sharp claws would use kicks.
And after one hour of exploring, I see a village inside this magicless area. Very suspicious.
“So, there’s a village over there. Any suggestion on what we do next?” I asked.
“Destroy it,” Shelia suggested.
“Rejected. Victoria?”
“It’s impossible to act normally since they would know that we’re not normal to be able to come here. Just improvise like how you usually do it,” Victoria said.
Well, I guess that’s what we will do. I wonder who they are. I hope they are not with the cult.
