The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 129

Title: Sword Throwing

“An incredible fight, you both have improved a lot!”

Line continued clapping, looking envious.

Both Hoshiharu and Lefiya had completely different fighting postures from half a month ago, having made significant progress.

In contrast, as a defender who rarely faced monsters directly, her improvement was minimal.

“We almost made a million valis today, didn’t we?”

Line picked up a magic stone on the ground and calculated in her mind.

As they delved deeper, the amount of money they could earn daily increased significantly. Not to mention, the magic stone from the Minotaur alone could sell for tens of thousands of valis.

Even if divided evenly, each of them could earn over 300,000 valis per day, which was a substantial amount.

Of course, this was also because their team was quite strong. They dared to charge and fight any monster to earn this amount, requiring at least several days of hard work.

“With more than 300,000 valis, I can only buy a few dozen Mental Power Recovery Potions.”

Hoshiharu was quite dissatisfied.

After a few days, among his basic Value Abilities, his magic power had increased the least, because his total magic power was very small, and its usage frequency was also very low.

“Hmph, magic power also depends on innate talent!”

When Lefiya heard this, she immediately showed a proud smile and happily showed off to him.

Hoshiharu glared at her.

The quiet little girl he first met now dared to show off in front of him. It seemed that throwing her into a group of monsters for training had given her a big head.

At this time, the talent for magic power did not refer to the control of magic power but the amount of natural magic power.

The more innate magic power one had, the more opportunities one had to practice it, and the faster one could improve with the Blessing/Falna.

For example, Lefiya was born in the forest where elves, known for their naturally strong magic power, even rivaled the elven royal family.

Why could Lefiya shoot fire arrows so easily, and her actions were as startling as bombings? It was because she had immense magic power.

Cultivated as an heir by Riveria meant she was not an ordinary magician.

In comparison, Hoshiharu’s magical talent was quite poor. Born with very little magic power, he did not have many opportunities to practice.

“Alright, let’s stop here for today. It’s getting late.”

Seeing the two about to start a fight, Line quickly stepped forward as a peacemaker and separated them.

“I don’t know you.”

“Hmph, are you actually jealous?”

In fact, Hoshiharu was quite jealous.

*Crack*

As the two argued, a small sound reached Hoshiharu’s ears, freezing his eyes.

In the wall, a shallow crack suddenly opened, and a slimy head poked out.

*HSS*

It was a monster resembling an earthworm. It had no face on its head, only several rings of sharp teeth growing in its mouth. It was very long and electric.

“Lefiya, watch out!” Hoshiharu shouted.

The worm stared at Lefiya, who was closest, and its figure spun in the air. It opened its sharp teeth and bit towards her head.

Dungeon Worm was a powerful monster with a danger factor above Level 18, comparable to the Minotaur.

Being adept at sneak attacks, it usually stayed motionless in holes in the walls and only pounced when its prey was close. Even a front-line warrior could be killed by its unprepared attack.

Lefiya couldn’t react at all, she could only stare at the approaching monster with wide eyes in astonishment.

*Slash*

Suddenly, a thin and sharp cold light flashed, producing a piercing sound that split the air.

The Dungeon Worm’s body was cut in half in an instant, the magic stone within its body shattered into pieces, and its body turned into black smoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lefiya was stunned for a moment, then gasped. Her face couldn’t stop showing fear, and her legs felt weak.

She was one step away from being bitten by the Dungeon Worm.

With the Dungeon Worm’s knife-like sharp teeth, once bitten, the face could be damaged, or the throat could be cut, causing instant death.

“Ah!”

A scream sounded from the side.

Turning around, Hoshiharu looked at her with his head raised, palm lifted as if he had thrown something, and his face full of anger.

“Listen, even if your magic power is higher than mine, in terms of ‘magic,’ I am still sharper.”

To sum it all up, Noble Art was also a form of magic.

“Are you okay, Lefiya?”

Line rolled her eyes at Hoshiharu, scolding him for making sarcastic remarks at this moment, and quickly stepped forward to help Lefiya up, asking with concern.

“...I’m fine.”

It took Lefiya a while to recover, swallowing, and responding with a forced smile.

“Thank you... for saving me...”

She bowed her head and looked embarrassed.

“What are you talking about? Please speak louder. I can’t hear you. Are you out of strength?”

“Bad guy, die!”

Seeing Hoshiharu’s bright expression, Lefiya stomped her feet angrily and quickly walked toward Level 16.

“Lefiya, please slow down, don’t get attacked by a Dungeon Worm again!”

Line quickly chased after her.

Hoshiharu glanced at the magic stone behind him, showing a heartbroken expression, but he felt happy when he thought about getting revenge for being shown off to.

The magic stone had to be intact before it could be exchanged for money. Once the magic stone was damaged, the power inside would be lost and become worthless.

“However, Hoshiharu, the technique you just used was really powerful. That flying sword was so fast I couldn’t see it clearly at all.”

“...What kind of magic is that?”

On the way home.

Lefiya walked ahead, knocking down monsters with her staff when they encountered them, looking very angry.

Line talked to Hoshiharu, clearly admiring his last technique, making Lefiya in front turn around and ask.

In the past half month, when they were in a crisis, Hoshiharu had used this flying sword multiple times, accurately killing monsters and saving them.

“This should be called <<Sword Throwing>>. It is secretly taught in my hometown and will never be taught to outsiders.”

Hoshiharu did not make a mistake.

In the final analysis, it was shooting sword fragments, using sound as a target to activate <<Absolute Speed>>, and using supersonic sword fragments to cut the monster’s neck.

The mass of the sword was very small, and the thrust it drove was not high, so its attack power was limited and not comparable to the attack power of <<Lightning Flint>>.

However, this technique did not harm the body, so it was good for small-scale killing.

And because it was a sword, he could control it easily without worrying about accuracy.

Lefiya mumbled something in a low voice, saying something like, “I don’t want to learn anything.”

But she actually wanted to learn it because this ‘magic’ clearly didn’t require incantations. It was quick-attack magic, very convenient, and very effective in high-frequency combat.
