Chapter 23
Accel
Translator : PolterGlast
I want to defeat them
with Light Arrow Rain because using lightning magic emits a smell, but... I
suppressed that feeling and proceeded through the third floor using Chain
Lightning and Lightning.
I found that the more
I used them, the more my body became accustomed to using magic.
At first, it took
about three seconds to get to the point where I could use Chain Lightning, but
now I can activate it in about one second.
I also actively use
other lightning magic along the way.
In terms of usability,
the Railgun magic learned at LV 7 seemed to be exceptionally convenient.
This is simply put, a
degraded version of Gungnir.
First, you draw a line
of lightning, and when you fly an object so that it overlaps with that line,
you can fly it while accelerating it with lightning.
It's inferior in
power, but it's maneuverable and doesn't consume that much MP.
When I tried firing a
copper coin with a railgun, it easily penetrated a rock.
However, it was a
miscalculation that it went deep into the wall because the power was too
powerful and I couldn't get it out... I hope I don't have to cry over a single
copper coin in the future.
It seems that it can
be activated by throwing it without flicking it with your finger like a finger
bullet, so it might be mainly used by throwing rocks or something from your
item box.
When I tried using
Accel, which buffs agility--I'll call it support magic for the sake of
convenience, to make it easier to distinguish it from offensive magic and
recovery magic--purple lightning flew around my body, and my movements became
extremely fast.
Thanks to the increase
in basic ability values since I came to another world and the promotion by
leveling up, my physical ability is already on par with an athlete's.
But when I move with
Accel on, it's like... I'm moving at a speed that's completely superhuman.
However, because it's
too fast, the scenery changes rapidly with just a little movement, and it makes
me incredibly dizzy.
The symptoms are
similar to the motion sickness I had when I went to a school camp on the bus
before.
I don't think I can
use it in battle unless I use it several times and get used to it.
The lightning flying
around me also looks like a Super Saiyan, which is kind of cool.
My hair doesn't stand
on end, and my mood is subtly lifted.
When I tried using
Accel again to see if I could stack buffs... there was no particular change.
The Accel magic itself
was activated, but it ended in failure when I tried to apply it to myself.
I thought I could keep
my distance and unilaterally annihilate them with magic if I could repeatedly
apply it and double it to achieve super-high speed, but... I guess it doesn't
work that way.
"Maybe I can
stack it with light support magic... oh! It works!"
When I tried activating
Quick, which is light support magic, as a last resort, it turned out that it
could be used in combination with Accel.
Even though they're
the same support magic, Accel and Quick are quite different.
In the case of Quick,
which is light support magic, the movement becomes smooth and faster.
I can tell that my
movement is faster, and I also feel that my perception ability is increasing
accordingly.
Probably, it also
increases the processing speed of my brain.
On the other hand,
Accel makes my body move faster.
The effect is stronger
than Quick, but it seems that the effect only works on pure physical ability.
My consciousness is
not completely keeping up with the movement of my body.
"But with this...
I can barely manage, I think?"
I was being swayed by
my body with Accel alone, but if I layered Quick on top of that, my senses
improved somewhat.
Amazing.
It's so fast that I
can almost see my afterimage.
It's like I'm at my
highest...
"Ugh..."
Something sour is
rising from the back of my throat.
My tension was too
high from the double application of support magic, and it seemed my body had
exceeded its limit.
I stopped and adjusted
my breathing while desperately holding back what was coming up.
I drank cold water
from the thermos bottle and calmed down a little.
"Gyan!"
Then, unfortunately, I
was noticed by the zombie dog on the other side just as I was suffering from
intense nausea.
Fortunately, there is
a distance.
I'm far from my
best... I might as well try what happens if I activate magic in an abnormal
state here.
"Ugh... L,
Lightning!"
One, two, three...
Lightning, which I
should have been able to activate almost instantly by repeatedly using it and
increasing its proficiency, finally activates after three seconds.
"Gyan!"
Fortunately, the power
didn't seem to change, and I was able to defeat the zombie dog with one blow.
...But after all, it
took quite a long time to activate the magic.
With this, it's
confirmed that physical condition is involved in magic activation.
After getting myself back
in good shape, I proceeded onward and found the stairs to the fourth floor in
less than an hour.
For the time being,
I'm relieved that I can proceed smoothly to the fifth floor.
Well, whether I
proceed immediately or not depends on the monsters on the fourth floor.
