Act 1: Chapter 23: The End of Leveling

Days passed by as I raised my level in the《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》 along with Lunaire.

I’ve long since forgotten how many times I’ve entered this place.

Surely, it’s been more than one month and a half ever since I was sent into this 《Cocytus》.

I used Wind Magic, 3rd Rank 《Flugel》 to fly around inside the 《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》.

In spite of its low rank, this magic was truly useful.

Although low-rank magic’s firepower was on the level of “meh” at best, they’re versatile for mobility or obstruction.

The grotesque devils were chasing after me while I was flying but, thanks to 《Flugel》 they were left far behind me because of my increased mobility.

One devil that had been waiting ahead of me came towards me.

It was a devil with an eerie appearance that resembled a giant wheel with a lot of small human faces on its surface.

... Well these kinds of eerie appearances are normal in this place though.

It charged in a straight line, rolling it’s body and went for my flank.

The large face in the middle of the wheel was laughing as it looked at me.

I kicked this annoying wheel and used the recoil to do a mid-air jump as I slashed its frame.

The wheel’s large face’s laugh changed to that of surprise as soon as it realized that its body was bisected by my slash. Its eyes showed its white color.

Playing dead huh.... What an annoyingly tough devil.

I left that annoying wheel to enjoy the rest of its short life, to attack the other devils who were chasing after me.

I took a deep breath and spun another magic circle while controlling my flight path with 《Flugel》.

I’ve mastered the《Twin Mind Law》.

The current me could easily wield two magic at the same time.

Forget about two, I could even use three at the same time.

I turned around with 《Flugel》 to face the crowd of devils as I pointed my sword towards them.

Some of the devils amongst the crowd tried to attack me with their long-distance attacks AKA a beam-like attack or tentacle-like attack.

「Fire Magic, 14th Rank 《Inferno Ball》」

A giant crimson fireball which had a diameter that surpassed ten meters headed towards the flock of those devils.

「You’re attracting too many of them! At this rate, you’re going to be swallowed by your exploding flame too!」

Lunaire who watched my battle from the beginning gave me a warning.

But, no problem.

I’ve decided to use this plan with that situation in mind.

I canceled 《Flugel》 and spun another magic circle.

.... Uhm, after reaching this level, my level hardly rose even after I single-handedly defeated that many 《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》’s devils.

I followed Lunaire’s advice and trained in the other magics outside my area of expertise, my alchemy level had increased by a lot.

My 《Twin Mind Law》 reached the level where I could use it in live combat.

To prevent my over-reliance towards magic, I trained my swordsmanship too, just in case there was a time when my magic was sealed.

「Time-Space Magic, 4th Rank;《Short Gate》」

I used that magic to teleport myself closer to Lunaire.

「Master, I think this is enough for today. Shall we go back?」

I called out to Lunaire.

... After I heard the matter about Hades Impurity from Noble Mimic, I felt that there was a small distance between me and Lunaire.

Though Lunaire’s tone returned to her usual taciturn tone after that, I somehow noticed that she seemed to be constantly distracted by something.

Even I couldn’t help but notice that she intentionally returned to her usual tone.

The current Lunaire seemed to be thinking about something.

「............」

After seemingly thinking about something for a while, Lunaire’s eyelids opened slowly.

「Your leveling is already.... No, you might not even need my help anymore. Congratulation.」

Lunaire said with a serene voice.
