The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

* * *

Red Zero had just penetrated the King of Death for the fourth time.

Just Three more shots!

I cant Milly let me rest for a bit.

Ha~a! Ha~a! U-understood

Teleporting away from the King of Death, we took a little rest.

Millys breathing was rough.

Checking Millys status with scout scope, her magic power had dropped to 100.

After teleporting non-stop while using scout scope, of course her magic power wouldve been depleted.

Teleport uses about 20 magic power, scout scope is about the same (in my case at least).

But Millys mental state is unstable.

Because of that her magic consumption rate has probably increased.

Drink.

I passed over a magic recovery potion(large) to Milly as I said so.

It was the first time she had to drink one of these so she replied yes, and took a sip.

Zeph, this is really bitter

Endure it and drink.

She watched my reaction as we took turns drinking it.

Apparently, its quite bitter for children.

Each time she drank, a bit spilled from her mouth down her neck.

Half of it is spilling out, what a waste

Im not complaining though.

The King of Deaths self-recovery ability is going to activate soon.

My magic power has already made a complete recovery.

After checking Millys status with scout scope, her magic power has only recovered to about half its maximum value.

Do you need another drink?

Im fine.

After scrubbing her cheek, she started meditating.

Shes still a kid.

You should have started preparing before me.

Activate Time Square, casting Magic Amplifier twice.

Now I just need to shoot Red Zero.

Okay.

Or maybe I should be saying Im about 70 percent done with my preparations.

I cant say is enough to shoot, but Id be troubled if the King of Death started using its self-recovery ability.

Oh God of Red Magic, creator of the system that spreads knowledge and truth across the land

While chanting, I moved to the maximum range that I could still use Red Zero and hit.

Milly walked up behind me.

Lets go, I signaled Milly with my eyes, and nodded.

Red Zero!

The fifth shot of Red Zero.

As the blades broke through the King of Death.

A light was released from its eye sockets.

Its crown cracked and fell off, revealing a third eye socket on its forehead. Its red cape turned tar black, and its bishops staff cracked into two, revealing a black blade that came in an arc.

Its appearance was like that of the Grim Reaper, holding the bishops staff that turned into a scythe with both hands.

Its gone into berserk mode. I said this before the battle, but when we fight a boss, after we damage it to some extent, this activates. Its combat power should triple in this form. No matter what, make sure itdoes nothit you.

Y-yeah

This is bad, is she relapsing?

Itll be okay, as long as it doesnt touch us. Our safety was never guaranteed, yet we still got this far. We wont die today probably.

I flashed a grin towards Milly to ease her fear, she gave a very subtle response.

Hey Milly, whats with that half-hearted laugh?

*Katata* After the King of Death finished its makeover, it advanced towards us

I was meditating during our conversation, but I still havent fully recovered yet.

Its here!

Faster than it was before, the King of Death kicked the earth when I rushed towards it.

Milly put up her guard, and black lights were released from the King of Deaths scythe when he swung.

The light bullets were just like Black Ball, but with the power of a boss, it had a strength to be reckoned with.

It was even shot towards me, its a bit regretful but its probably going to hit.

Well, it did hit but

With my hand held up, I summoned a White Wall.

Where the White Wall was hit, the bosss Black Balls were eliminated.

Spells of the Wall type have a completely different effect depending on which system it was casted from. White Walls have the effect of being able to stop all types of magic as long as its blocking a primary spell.

However, the King of Death didnt care about that at all, and swung down its scythe to my left, like a Grim Reaper.

At that moment, Milly took us a distance five times further than before, but it wasnt because she was scared.

When the King of Death enters berserk mode, its attack range increases.

This is the distance just barely inside it.

Milly is perfectly calm.

I noisily continued drinking the magic power potion(large), and started meditating.

Its just over 21000!

It looks like it was able to recover a bit.

The power of a fully strengthened Red Zero does about 15000.

I still need to make two more shots.

While Milly took me to escape, if the King of Death shot Black Balls at us, I stopped it with White Wall.

Meanwhile, my magic power recovery rate had fallen.

With my current magic power, I could say Im about at 80 percent full.

The next Red Zero doesnt need to be shot at full power.

The enemy is quite exhausted already.

Here? Lets take the shot.

I sent an eye signal to Milly, then we retreated to make some distance.

Activating Time Square abbreviating the chant.

Red Zero!!

The sixth shot.

The red blades pierced its throat, making the King of Death suffer in agony.

Its at 10000!

Milly muttered.

Although it only fell that much, Ill make sure the next one is shot at full power.

While drinking magic recovery potions, I started meditating.

I passed some potions to Milly to make sure the King of Death didnt come in while we couldnt teleport, she gave me an unpleasant look.

What a troublesome person

Milly if you dont drink it, you might not have enough magic power once were in an emergency, I want to avoid situations like that because well definitely die. I know its hard to adjust the distance while teleporting

I said so because I knew it would both provoke her and motivate her.

Theres no way this is difficult!

She took the bait.

Wrestling the bottle from me, she started chugging it all down. *Puhaa~*

She had tears in her eyes.

I cant help but feel a little bad about how soft Milly is.

Black Balls came flying towards us and were stopped by my White Wall. As the scythe came down Milly grabbed my hand and used teleport.

The distance and positioning from the King of Death that lost sight of us was perfect.

Milly turned towards me with a face that seemed to say How is it?, but Ill let her vent a little.

Nevertheless, now its my turn.

Activating Time Square, casting Magic Amplifier twice during the time stop and.

Oh God of Red Magic, creator of the system that spreads knowledge and truth across the land, lend me your strength! Destroy my enemy with your spinning blades!

Red Zero!!

A full powered Red Zero.

The blades extended towards the King of Death and penetrated its body, grilling and burning everything.

While looking at the King of Death that stopped moving and started turning into sand, Milly asked me:

We we won?

Yeah, its our win.

At the same time the King of Death completely disappeared, I could feel a force growing inside my body.

Apparently I leveled up.

Milly probably did too.

We did it! Ahahahahahahahahahah!
