...
Dungeoeenth Floor.Closing the Status s, I stood in front of the cliff."Let's test this now and see how it works!" I said to myself.[Magic Spell, Lesser Magic Aura!] I jured.My eyes glowed in purple as I was enveloped in a blue aura, illuminating my entire body."Am I a super saiyan or something now!?" It wasn't a super saiyan aura, as the energy was going up a few meters above me, but it retty cool, reminding me of Goku and the others.'This should e my mana, if I didn't have my ability; let's see my limit here!' I excimed.I began trying to release more mana into the aura; the energy became even more violent, causing Riekling to step bad shield his eyes as the wind arouensified with the force of the visible energy."I get more!!" I excimed and released more maal energy into the aura.The aura became even thicker, making my little goblin be dragged by the wind. The pilr of blue energy began to shine brighter and thicker around me, reag almost 10 meters i, with my magic assuming level three status."Hahahahahahaha! Feel my power, mortals!" I let the madness of the power sensation take over my words. This spell wasn't offensive and quite useless in most magical fields, except to show yical strength to people. However, it was visually so cool, as it basically made you demonstrate your power as a mage.
Third person POV, elsewhere.While Lucius was iasy, overwhelmed by his new power, magisitive adventurers felt his aura too."Riveria! you feel this too?" said the small Lefiya, just arriving at the camp after returning from the city."Yes, it's him again," said Riveria, looking towards the magic aura.Aiz, ith them, remained quiet."Yes... Are you going to him?" said Lefiya timidly."He caused an explosion once; we better check. Luckily, he's not in the camp. His magies from a few kilometers north of where we are," she said, looking at the small elf, who was his apprentice."I know some don't like him, like you, but it's better to look, and I'm curious because I've never seen anyone release a magical aura like this. Maybe it's a new spell!" said Riveria, quite curious, as she was a nerd in magical terms.Aiz and Lefiya followed her as they left the camp, saying they had something to do for people who couldn't feel magic so easily.After some time, getting close to where Lucius was, they saw something never seen in their lives, a blue magical energy rising into the sky!Getting closer, they saw that this energy decreased in size but covered his body and reached 3 meters i."What is this? Is this possible? Releasing yical power like this, Riveria?" asked Lefiya with wide eyes.
Riveria was equally perplexed watg that light show, and Aiz wasn't far behind, with her eyes also being stunned."I've never seen anything like it; he truly is a powerful magical talent, as he said in his words on the eighth floor. But his energy is lower than what we felt and saw before. Perhaps his mana is depleting in this aura; I wonder if this is some kind of spell..." Riveria said, not taking her eyes off the brilliantly visible blue mana."TRIPLE KAIOKEN!!!" Suddenly, Lucius ihe blue aura shouted!His aura increased to 10 meters and became thicker, causing winds all around.This made his three spectators stunned."I WILL NEVER LET YOU DESTROY THIS PLA, VEGETAAAAAAA!" He shouted again into the air, but there was no one where he was looking and shouting."Kaioken? What kind of ability is that?" Riveria asked."Who is Vegeta?" Aiz sought the supposed enemy."What is a p?" Lefiya couldn't help but ask, astonished."HAHAHAHHAHAHA THIS IS SO COOL!" Lucius said, ughing like a madman."Heeeee...." The spectators, once again, were surprised by the goblin's voice that arrived beside the girls, proteg himself from the strong winds."That's his goblin... CUTE!" Lefiya said, looking at the new panion to see Lucius and his aura.Aiz looked for a moment at the goblin, still thinking that she had killed him once. She wao apologize, as he proved not to be a monster like those in the dungeon, but she didn't know how to proceed.The violent energy began to decrease and finally stopped, causing the winds to cease as everything calmed down auro normal.Suddenly, Lucius looked to the side and saw Riekling with three girls whose identities he knew well."..." Lucius."..." Riekling"..." Riveria"..." Lefiya"..." AizAs everyoared at each other, sileook over the pce.'Did they hear my whole performance??!!' Lucius was stunned by the spectators he hadn't even noticed while shouting like a madman."Hello, girls... so you were listening..." He said, scratg his head with a shy smile.
Riveria POVSame location.Since she saw this man in the dungeon over a month ago, she always felt that he was a great mystery to her. At first, he seemed like a puy, lost on the seventh floor, where Aiz and I tried to help him at that time. The sed enter with him was at the Hostess of Fertility Pub, just to flirt with me in front of everyohere; I didn't know where to put my face after that, that night.To be ho, I felt a little unsciously happy about it, as I never had any tact with the opposite sex except for any ued subject to love. I am an elf; my race highly values our purity and chastity.In Alf's Royal Forest, no one ever tried to catch my attention because I was an untouchable princess, even after 70 years living there. In Orario, no one ever came close to me, either for being a princess or belonging to the Loki family as a high executive.
So the praises of that man caught my attention in a certain way because even though he was weak and would lose badly to most members of my family, he would stand firm in front of all of us without a hint of fear, be it in front of od or the most powerful members of the family. I couldn't help but be amazed.
There were misuandings as well because I heard that Aiz attacked a guild-lised monster in front of him, and she cast magic at Aiz. I had to expin to my adopted daughter that what she did was wrong; this resulted in more plicatioween this human and our family.
This reached its peak when he asked if we were turning into a group of bandits, something uandable after everything that happened. I have to admit the mistakes of my family, just like Finn, fortunately, we would resolve our differences iure.
On this expedition, Riveria couldn't help but find herself thinking about the mysterious human while in the deep floors. Lefiya's words the st time they entered him on the eighth floor increased her curiosity because the idea that he could elevate magical level to such a degree in such a short time was impossible to believe!
But there was a human, doing something that even surpassed the high elves, the race that has always been proud of its magical potential, yet I see most of them wither in front of this human.
When I found out that Bell el was here on the eighteenth floor, walking in the camp with the Amazon sisters and Aiz, I really wao ask Lucius if he was here too, but I didn't have the ce. After all, I am still an elven princess, and showing i in someone from another family would be inappropriate publicly for many to hear, even within the family.
Later, I learned from the pints of the twins about the Hestia family fighting aing the Goliath, that Lucius was here and was training on the floor below. Riveria somehow wao talk to him and discover more about his mysteries.
So st night, there was the explosion; we arrived at the se and found the city gathered in front of the damaged building, pining and questioning what happened. Part of the inn had exploded, and in the ter, there was Lucius unscious and injured with his family members treating him; people were holding the group atable for the destru.
It wasn't difficult for Finn ao take over the entire fusion since we have great prestige. I suggested bringing him to our camp while Finn would hahe damages; after that, he remained unscious for more than half a day.
When I returned with the girls from the city, Finn said he had woken up and talked about his magical problems. So, I finally found a way to speak with the young human in front of me.
If she learned more about his magical talents, she could improve herself and even Lefiya because magic is a sce of the more you learn, the stronger you bee, and the more skills you have a ce to develop. She was sure she could enhance her magid knowledge with Lucius.
Now, her curiosity increased even more seeing the vortex of magical energy ing from Lucius; it looked like an infinite, inexhaustible spiral. For Riveria, it was one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen in her life.
Third-person POV
Riveria took a first step towards the young man amid the awkward silence, surprising the other two girls and Lucius himself.
"Hello, Mr. Lucius. I know we introduced ourselves officially before, but after everything that happened, I believe we o start over. My name is Riveria Ljos Alf." She took the initiative for the first time to speak with Lucius, but couldn't help having a slight blush on her face; after all, there wasn't just academiterest in the man.
Lefiya looked perplexed at Riveria's a. For the young elf, her mentor would alk to that bully sdrel. Lefiya feared that he might shamelessly start flirting, just like that Bell el was trying to y hands on her Aiz!
Even Lucius was surprised by Riveria's sudden i, taking the initiative to talk to him for the first time.
"Well, it's good to see you again, Miss Riveria. I think you're right, so let me introduce myself personally as well. I am Lucius Drakenar." Lucius said, but he didn't raise his hand to shake hers, knowing it's impolite for any elf.
"Let me ask about yical energy just now; was that an ability or a spell?" The elf asked curiously.
"That ell I acquired i few days." Lucius smiled and expined, a half-truth.
The elf's eyes shimmered with curiosity about it.
"I would like to hear more about it if you don't mind, Mr. Lucius." She said, and before I could respond, she tinued speaking.
"I heard that you had a magical mishap st night in your inn, which led to an explosion. If you want to talk about your problems, I have taught many adventurers from my family and try to help you with magic... I'll do it as an act of goodwill, after everything that happened," Riveria said, showing a face even redder.
Lefiya opened her mouth wide at this; she had never seen Riveria act like this with anyone, let alone show i in someone. Riveria is always serious and a strict teacher who would keep you up all night studying if necessary. She never imagined her strict teacher ag like this.
"A date?! For you, I'm always avaible, princess!" Lucius said with an even bigger smile, joking and flirting without wasting time with the woman in front of him. He was enjoying this versation more and more.
"A DA-DATE? NO! I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT YICAL TALENTS, AND I TEACH YOU TOO, SINCE YOU HAVE TROUBLE TROLLING YIC WHEN YOU'RE CLOSE TO LEVELING, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD!" Riveria shouted pletely red as she tried to justify herself.
Lefiya also turned red with this iion. Aiz just watched expressionlessly without uanding much.
"Ok, ok! I'm just kidding, my dy. So, I'll accept your invitation; I o learn magid you are the best in Orario for that, no doubt," Lucius said seriously now.
He khat if he learned more about magic, he could acquire new abilities as well. They believed in the expnation he gave to Finn, even though it was a lie. He couldn't say that he was leveling up without having a god doing it with the power of another even more powerful and unknown being to the inhabitants of this world. But his excuse is serving him well; learning from Riveria was a great opportunity.
The Loki family believes in this because it's quite pusible that such signifit growth, like Lucius's in a short time, could cause magical instability.
From there, Lucius began to really i with Riveria for the first time. He started talking about his magical experiences with the elf and the girls i month, avoiding everything about his cheat, of course. Lucius had udied magic, but he began to have a lot of knowledge about magid mana after casting spells every day for the st month.
