How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Lost World is a game.

And there are indispensable content in the game.

party play.

It means that colleagues with various types of powers work together against a powerful enemy that they cannot handle.

Naturally, there was party play in the Lost World as well.

It is divided into strategy in a wide terrain or strategy in a narrow place such as a dungeon, but usually the warrior stood in the front and the wizard stood in the back.

“Lowering. From here, we will move in formation.”

Inside the cave where Leo and his party broke the barrier.

said Drexla, looking forward with a wary look.

It was Drexla who wanted to go back just a moment ago, but now her attitude has changed.

Because Leo had broken the barrier, he couldn’t just ask to go back.

If I hadn’t found anything, I would have found a suspicious place that had already been sealed off.

As long as Leo spoke of his duty as a member of the royal family, going back like this would tarnish his honor.

said Drexla, stepping forward.

“I will tell you the basic formation that can be used in a narrow place like a dungeon. First of all, the basic goal is for me to attract the attention of the enemies that will appear in the front line and block their attacks, and for the lower class and Prince Menez to support them with magic in the rear line.”

A battle formation established like a formality among knights and wizards.

Having played the party game several times, Leo understood what it was all at once.

“Okay, I get it.”

Leo naturally settled behind Drexla.

They had room for Drexla to move or wield her weapon, but at such an exquisite distance that she could support them at any time.

Seeing that, Drexla was quite impressed.

‘You’re smart too. Even if you don’t have to explain this formation in detail, you figure out what role you have to play at once.’

Look at Leo’s eyes or posture.

It was evident that he perfectly understood the wizard’s role in this formation.

On the other hand, Prince Menez was different.

“Hey, are you talking here?”

“no. Stand a little further back.”

“this way? Got it. Then what can I do?”

Menez asks because he doesn’t understand what this formation is like.

Instead of Drexla, Leo answered.

“Princess Menez. Drexla and I will block enemies from the front, so Gongja beware of enemies approaching from the rear. And instead of using offensive magic, try to support Drexla as much as possible while conserving magic.”

“Okay, low.”

role has been determined.

The three of them started making their way into the cave.

“light!”

Two balls of light opened by Menez stretched forward, illuminating the field of view.

Using the light as a guide, Drexla proceeded.

– Jerking away.

The three of them proceed cautiously.

For a while nothing happened.

The only sound was the strained breathing, the wind brushing against the walls of the cave, and the flying bats and insects.

That was the moment. Leo opened his mouth.

“Drexla. There is a trap ahead on the left.”

“… … !”

At Leo’s warning, Drexla quickly lowered her stance and covered herself with her shield.

His gaze quickly scanned the front corner.

‘… Really.’

A part of the ground hidden in the darkness of the cave was minutely dented.

It is an artificial trace.

Seeing that there were no special devices around, it was assumed that it was a magic trap, not a physical trap.

‘How should I handle this.’

You don’t know how it will activate after getting close.

You need to think about how to get rid of it as safely as possible.

When Drexla hesitated with her head rolling, it was Leo who acted first.

“I’ll take care of it.”

Leo clapped his hand.

Then an icicle suddenly rose from the ground where the trap had been.

– Awesome!

The trap could not be activated and was frozen as it was.

“… … ?”

“End. it’s frozen solid Now, even if I touch it, nothing will work.”

“… Freezing magic is very convenient.”

Drexla muttered involuntarily.

How can you make it so simple?

Being with a wizard is really comfortable.

“Come to think of it, how did you discover that trap?”

Drexla asked.

At first glance, the traps were similar enough to be indistinguishable from regular land.

Moreover, it was even more so because I was immersed in darkness.

Leo discovering something that even Drexla, the knight, almost couldn’t find.

“I have good eyesight.”

Leo replied with a grin.

And it was true.

‘It’s so obvious, but I can’t say I can’t see it.’

Leo had already discovered the trap from afar.

Blue mana was floating around the trap in a strange form, and it was impossible not to see it.

I don’t know exactly what it was, but it was a type of magic trap that would activate the moment I got close to it.

And if even a little bit of magic was added to the trap, Leo couldn’t help but notice it.

“Then we will set off again.”

After disabling one of the traps, Drexla regrouped and moved forward.

In the middle, exquisitely set traps came out again, but each time Leo froze in an instant several times.

The party proceeded comfortably without any resistance.

Then, just when I thought I had come quite deep into the cave, welcome faces popped up.

– Keek!

– Kirik! Kyririk!

Goblins.

They were a little different from the ones I had seen before arriving in this cave.

Compared to those fearful creatures, the eyes of these goblins were filled with life.

Those who can be called real monsters.

– Kyaaagh!

Four goblins armed with crude weapons screamed and charged.

A goblin raised a barrel and fired a poison dart.

“Be careful. The goblin’s paralyzing stinger. If you get hit, you won’t die, but you’ll have to lie still for about 10 minutes.”

Drexla shouted and blocked the way.

It was small and hard to see, but Drexla lightly raised her shield and deflected the stinger.

Right after hearing the ting, a goblin approached with a dagger.

– Kyaaagh!

It was a blow aimed at the chance that Drexla’s attention fell into the poison needle.

– Pleasant!

However, it was hit by the shield that swung again like lightning, and the goblin flew backwards.

“You made me look easy.”

Drexla murmured, returning her shield to its original position.

take up the shield.

It is an attack method that any skilled knight can use.

The goblin rolled on the floor and trembled.

Drexla went after him and didn’t land the finishing blow.

In this situation, the knight’s role is to protect the party.

The finish is the wizard’s role.

[Freezing structural formula – javelin]

And a cool voice burst from behind.

Three spears formed from the air above Leo’s head.

– Wedges!

They shot out quickly.

The goblins were frightened and tried to block them or lower their heads to avoid them.

One raised a crude wooden shield to block the javelin.

-puck!

– Kreuk!

The spear of ice pierced the shield and the goblin’s arm, and pierced the center of the forehead.

It was an instant death with nothing to see.

So was the other one.

He tried to move his body to dodge the javelin, but the javelin was fired so fast that he couldn’t react properly and his chest was pierced to death.

Only the last one survived.

-Keruk! Keruk!

The goblin moved quickly as soon as he saw the ice spear being created.

He first hid behind a colleague who had been knocked down by Drexla’s shield.

The javelin killed the one in front, but it couldn’t even kill the goblin hiding behind it.

“Friend Shield? .”

Looking at the survivor, Leo muttered involuntarily.

-Kerreuk!

The last remaining goblins jumped up from their seats.

Then, without looking back, he started to run away.

It was judged that there was no chance of winning.

Seeing that, Leo laughed.

“When I came, I liked it, but not when I left.”

– Damn it.

the floor freezes

The soles and ankles of the goblin that was about to run were covered with frost.

– Kirik!?

He looked back in surprise.

The cause of the freezing of the ground was the spear of ice that he had saved by sacrificing his comrades.

The spear that pierced his comrade and stuck into the floor shattered and froze the surroundings.

The rapidly spreading ice reached him.

-Kikkiik!

A goblin struggling to escape somehow.

However, his ankles were frozen and bound.

-ping!

Leo flicked his hand at the paralyzed creature and fired a bullet made of magic.

A bullet that can be used by any 1st-class wizard and simply shoots mana.

It was an attack that even a goblin could easily avoid, but it was different now.

-Hook!

-Kek… .

The goblin, whose heart had been pierced by a bullet, collapsed on the spot.

Only then did the ice that froze his ankles turn into powder and fly away.

Looking at the scattering ice crystals, Leo opened his mouth.

“Let’s keep going.”

Jacob, the black magician, thought that there were too few things that could go his way.

It started when the goblins dared to escape from their control.

If I ran away, I would just live quietly in the forest.

I’m angry that I ran into humans by chance, but it wasn’t enough that they came all the way here, so they broke the barrier that hid their hideout and came in.

“Damn it… Damn it… .”

And now, they were in the process of pushing into the hideout.

I made all the magic traps for intruders useless, and sent the goblins I was breeding to attack them, but they were all defeated.

“That little boy. How did you have such magical skills at that age?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Jacob was watching the whole scene with familiar magic.

Familiar magic is magic that connects consciousness to animals and allows them to see what they see and hear together.

Jacob used it on a cave bat.

The cave bat had been observing their every move ever since Leo and his party entered the hiding place.

“And that knight is not average either. Were there any knights of that level of skill in the Gesen Territory… ?”

I don’t know.

He knew very little about the manor because he was stuck in hiding every day.

Jacob clenched his fists with a serious expression.

“Damn it! Why did those bastards come here!”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Jacob continued sending goblins.

Every time the kid used his hand, the magic traps were frozen and neutralized, so traps can’t be expected.

All that remains is to send the goblins and kill them.

No, it was honestly impossible to eliminate, so I thought of leaving out only physical strength and magical power.

-Kirreuk!

– Keek!

But that wasn’t easy either.

As the battle repeated, they quickly adapted to the goblins’ attacks.

The first time I fought against 4 goblins, I killed them without much trouble, but now I’m used to it.

It seems like it took less than 20 seconds for all 6 goblins to be wiped out just now.

‘Could that guy be the eldest son of the Marquis of Gesen, who is said to be a disciple of this territory’s mage lord?’

I’ve heard that the eldest son of the Marquis of Gesen was so talented that he became a disciple of the Master of the Mage Tower with his skills.

But he soon shook his head.

‘no. no. I heard he’s in his late teens. I’m not such a snub-nosed child.’

I wouldn’t know if it was someone who only used light magic behind the party, but he wasn’t such a child.

Besides, that silver hair.

‘It’s like the silver hair of the royal family of Rome… probably not It must have just been dyed.’

What did the royal family come all the way here for?

Silver hair is not extremely rare, and it is a color that can be seen quite often.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Jacob, who had been thinking about their identity for a while, soon gave up on that idea.

Because what mattered now wasn’t who they were.

‘What should I do… .’

After a while, they will arrive at the heart of the hideout, where they are.

Before that, you need to find a way to buy something.

That was the moment.

“… … !?”

Suddenly the little wizard raised his head and looked at him.

No, to be precise, I started staring at the familiar cave bat flying across the ceiling.

The boy smiled lightly and waved his hand.

‘arrow?’

An ice arrow formed from his palm, and I saw it flying this way.

And after a few seconds, Jacob’s magic that connected him to the bat was cut off as his vision was distorted.

“Ouch… !”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Jacob clutched his eyes, screamed, and rolled on the ground.

“Keep it off… .”

In the aftermath of the Familiar magic being forcibly cut off, a terrible pain covered her body.

* * *

“Lowering? What was on the ceiling?”

Drexla looked up warily.

It was because Leo suddenly shot an ice arrow into the ceiling.

“Ahh. I feel bad eyes. But it was just a bat.”

After killing the cave bats on the ceiling, Leo shrugged.

Then I thought to myself.

‘They’ve been following us ever since, it can’t just be a bat.’

Leo and the others proceeded through the cave quite slowly.

According to Leo’s physical strength, which was at the garbage level, he went and rested little by little, repeating.

But that bat has been visible since the beginning of this cave.

I could tell because he was Leo, who had an overwhelmingly high cognitive ability and good memory.

Surely the same bats keep hovering around them and observing them.

‘Maybe it was some kind of familiar magic. There will be some blows.’

It seems that the owner of this cave sent it, but there was no way the sorcerer would be fine after killing the bats like that.

“Let’s keep going.”

Leo and the others moved forward again.

and not long after

They arrived at a large cavity with floating white balls of light.
