The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

Milly was flying about Tiamat in circles when one of its heads sprang out at her.

Just as Milly was about to change directions to dodge the attack, another of Tiamats heads appeared to block her escape.

Milly! Theres one more! I yelled out as I was about to jump off at the tower at any moment.

The shock of having made a mistake could be seen on Millys face, as Tiamats heads drew closer to her.

Just when I thought that all was lost, an enormous magic ball landed down on Tiamat, drawing its attention away from Milly.

Using that chance Milly managed to escape.

It seems like the back-up came at just the right time.

Standing next to Tiamats feet was Silverie alongside some other Dispatch Magicians.

That sure was a close one

Yera joyfully laughed from the side, as she watched everything unfold.

Either way, well wait here. You are all okay with that, right? I asked.

Look at whos talking. Werent you about to jump down just now? Rhox said, teasing me.

That Milly Ill scold her later.

The sound of Tiamats footsteps grew ever so closer to us.

It was hard to precisely pinpoint how far he was because of his sheer size, however, there was no doubt that he was heading towards us.

Hell be here in a few minutes at most.

I guess its time for us to move as well.

We all moved towards the edge of the roof, to a place where we could clearly see Tiamat.

This tower was the only place tall enough to allow us to hit Tiamat from above.

As Tiamat took another step, the ground shook once more.

Milly, who was directing him towards us, soared right past the tower. In that fleeting moment our eyes met.

From her complexion and her attire, it appeared like she had exhausted herself quite a bit.

You did great.

As Milly flew further away I turned my gaze back at Tiamat.

Well then, everyone, place your hands on top. I said, presenting my prosthetic arm in front of them.

After all it would be impossible for my body to handle the Zeros of all five Heavenly Mages.

Which was why I had planned to use my prosthetic arm to cast the Fusion Spell.

But Zeph, dont we need to cast our spells at the exact same time for that Fusion Spell of yours to work? Bertram asked.

Hes right. The timing must be perfect, right? Yera asked as well.

Hearing both of them, the remaining Heavenly Mages also lost themselves in thought.

It was true that all of them were spectacular when it came to controlling their own spells, however, they werent that great at synching them with other people.

It would be impossible for the five of them to cast their spell with perfect timing.

And the Zero spells long chants made it even harder.

Thats where I come in. After you cast your spells, they will first pass through my prosthetic arm, which will allow me to get rid of any small gaps that may have appeared. By passing through my body, Ill be able to adjust the timing of the spells in order to make them match.

Can you really do it? Rhox asked.

Thats beside the point. Theres nothing else we can do either way. We have no choice but to do it! Bertram stated.

Hearing him say that, no one objected anymore.

At that moment Tiamat took another step.

However, thanks to the Dispatch Magicians attacks, Tiamat lost his balance.

In the surroundings, a powerful magical storm was brewing. Within that storm Tiamats steps didnt halt at all. Each step he took he drew closer to our firing range.

Just one more step!

As if having read my thoughts, everyone began to chant their spell.

Oh Crimson god, the pinnacle of magic and the culmination of the long winding road. Empower me with your strength. Let the crimson blade rage and annihilate my enemies.

Oh God of Water, the pinnacle of magic and the culmination of the long winding road. Empower me with your strength. Let thy blue blade rage and annihilate my enemies.

Oh God of Earth, the pinnacle of magic and the culmination of the long winding road. Empower me with your strength. Let thy green blade rage and annihilate my enemies.

Oh God of Wind, the pinnacle of magic and the culmination of the long winding road. Empower me with your strength. Let thy black blade rage and annihilate my enemies.

Oh God of Souls the pinnacle of magic and the culmination of the long winding road. Let your blade of souls rage and annihilate my enemies.

Their simultaneous chants were a sight to behold.

I guess I shouldnt have expected anything less from the five Heavenly Mages.Still, there are some gapsIt seems like its my time to shine.

RED ZERO!

BLUE ZERO!

GREEN ZERO!

BLACK ZERO!

WHITE ZERO!

As soon as their chants ended, a tremendous amount of magic power entered my prosthetic arm, feeling up so much that it was about to break apart.

The magic power didnt stop there and continued to spread within my whole body.

Urgh Wh-What a tremendous torrent of magic power!It feels like my bodys about to break apart!It doesnt matter! I cannot let this chance go to waste!

I focused all of my attention to the five Zeros colliding with one another in my arm

It felt like my head was about to explode.

I aimed my trembling hand right on top of Tiamats head and shot off the spell.

Penta Fusion Platinum Zero!!!

The blade made out of golden-white light shot forth from my arm and pierced straight through Tiamat.

As I looked at Tiamat disintegrating within the light I slowly lost consciousness.

The whirlpool of light and the thundering noises constantly assault my aching head.

I leave the rest to you

I completely lost consciousness before being able to say those words.

FU!!! ZEPH!

I suddenly heard a voice. It appeared that something was holding onto my hand.

My body, it feels so heavy However, I can still stand.

I managed to open my eyes, albeit a little sluggish.

As I did so I immediately saw Millys crying face.

T-Thank god! ZEPH! she yelled out, giving me a big hug.

Her long blond hair was running down my face and tickling my nose.

Good grief Theres no need to cry now is there

B-But I-I thought that you ended up like that time!

That time? Is she talking about the time when I slept for three whole years.Come to think of it, that was the reason which led Milly to develop her Unique Spell Healing Bic.Hmphm, why does my body feel so refreshed?

Milly You cant have

Milly just nodded at my question.

Good grief. Shes such a worrywart.I only lost consciousness for a bit.Theres no way Id get that wounded ever again.Well I guess its still my fault for making her worry.

I let out a sigh as I placed my hand on top of Millys head.

Millys Healing Bic was quite the dangerous spell.

That was because healing spells usually took a burden on the casters body.

For example, the Healing spell requires a tremendous amount of magic power for not that much of an effect, so its not used that often. Millys Healing Bic, on the other hand, completely restores the targets body.

However, its rebound should be huge as well.

Could this be the reason why Millys growth has been this slow?

Zeph? Whats wrong? Milly asked, raising her head to look up at me.

Looking down at her chest I judged that it really hadnt grown at all these past three years.

I guess I should tell her not to use it that much.

As soon as we defeated Tiamat the Mushussu monsters around town disappeared as well.

According to one of the Associations ancient records, back in the day Titan had apparently suddenly emerged out of nowhere on a little island in the middle of nowhere.

He was apparently put down by the Associations powerful magicians at the time after destroying that little island.

I guess that when they named him.

Hyaathat hole sure is hugeLydia said with a shocked face.

The force of the Platinum Zero had been tremendous. The spell had created a massive crater, the bottom of which could not even be seen.

We even tried throwing stones inside, however, we couldnt hear them hit the bottom.

And even though we threw in a bunch of thrash and rubble, the crater showed no signs of being filled up.

Well I guess we can just use it as a huge dump, dont you think?

Youre right Zeph-kun, that might prove to be quite efficient. Claude said, giggling at my proposition.

A month passed after the battle. I was currently in the process of helping the restoration of the town with Lydia and Claude.

Everyone else had also split into groups and were doing various tasks.

Right after the battle Shirushus nose proved to be quite useful since she could track people buried under the rubble and help them.

Milly and Silverie on the other hand joined other teams and helped destroy big rubble with their spells.

The Dispatch Magician as well as the other adventurers all helped with what they could as well.

They were usually the type of people who wouldnt bat an eye to such occurrences, however, considering the state that the city was left in, even they pitched in.

It was all thanks to the help of everyone that the wounds of destruction left behind by Tiamat were almost completely healed.

So, where should we go and help today?

Area B has already been repaired, so how about we go and help out at Area D? They probably still need people over there. Claude said.

I guess youre right.

This past month she had worked together with the Magician Association to efficiently discover where and what needed to be fixed, and was doing a great job of forming a plan based on that. According to her, she apparently had wanted to help as much as possible.

It was the perfect job for someone as hardworking as her.

After we arrived at Area D, we met up with some of the adventurers there and began working.
