NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 35: - Enchanted Fire
“Rosalina, I’m going to cast Enchant Fire now. Keep it up a little longer.”
“No problem at all.”
I solidified the image to activate the magic and cast Enchant Fire.
I felt something leaving me. MP was consumed.
Other jobs had skills that consumed MP, but I never felt the sensation of MP decreasing. Enchanters seemed sensitive to MP consumption.
A small flame, like a candle, gracefully flew and wrapped around Rosalina’s arm.
The flame grew and enveloped Rosalina’s fist. Huh, isn’t it hot?
“Rosalina, are you okay?”
“No problem at all.”
Dodging Gargoyle’s attacks, she approached with a kick as she landed.
It was good that her movements weren’t hindered. If there were issues, I would have labeled it as an unusable junk skill.
The moment she punched, the fiery fist burned the Gargoyle. Previously, the damage to the Gargoyle’s HP had been 1 or 2 points, but now, it dropped by 83 points in a single blow. This meant that the additional effect caused over 80 points of damage.
If my Enchanter level increases, the additional effect will likely become even more potent. With Rosalina activating active skills like Iron Fist, kicks, and the unique skill Fighting Spirit, the damage output should increase further. However, once Fighting Spirit is activated, Enchant Fire may become unnecessary.
Rosalina defeated the Gargoyle. While she didn’t take any damage, her attacks hardly affected the Gargoyle. Even though she struggled quite a bit, once Enchant Fire was applied, she managed to defeat it smoothly.
If Rosalina, who struggled that much, managed to defeat the Gargoyle with the help of my magic, it makes me wonder if parties consisting only of swordsmen and spearmen can handle Gargoyles at all. Gargoyles, despite being slow due to being made of stone, can fly and are extremely tough. If they’re not careful, the swordsmen could be wiped out.
“That Rosalina, who was struggling so much, managed to defeat the Gargoyle with your magic. What kind of magic is this Enchant Fire?”
“Even the wizard Anneliese doesn’t know this magic?”
“Enchant Fire bestows the fire attribute. It enhances the effect of physical attacks, like Rosalina’s, by adding the fire attribute, dealing additional fire damage to enemies when they attack. It’s quite effective for a job like Rosalina’s with many fast strikes.”
“Such magic exists… It’s like creating a magic sword with magic.”
Come to think of it, there are magic swords. Enchanters probably think along the lines of creating a makeshift magic sword. It’s not just Enchant Fire; having a job like this in the party seems essential due to its versatility.
“The job I obtained from the magic book this time is a rare one called Enchanter.”
“Enchanter is a job that cannot directly attack but instead enhances allies with magic.”
“I understand. Rosalina seems good too.”
“Yes, she is.”
Rosalina, who replied energetically, probably didn’t understand. Nevertheless, she instinctively responded to my needs, and that’s good enough.
“But still, Master, you are as unconventional as ever.”
“Hm?”
“Normally, one cannot change jobs without going to the temple.”
It’s a bit late for that.
“Moreover, the jobs you obtain are all rare ones.”
I’m thinking the same thing.
“While being a wizard itself is rare, obtaining an even rarer Enchanter job. Truly, you are remarkable, Master.”
“You truly are.”
Although she probably doesn’t get it, I pat Rosalina’s head as she happily responds to the flow.
“However, please keep everything about the jobs a secret.”
“I fully understand.”
“Yes, I do.”
In truth, the Hero with Two-Handed Swords is now at level 14, and at level 10, I learned the skill Ice Slash.
Ice Slash is a skill that releases a slashing attack of ice attribute. It’s suitable for attacking flying Gargoyles, and since it’s ice attribute, the damage is effective.
That day, we advanced to the middle of the 6th floor and exited the dungeon.
If we go all the way to the boss room, we won’t make it in time for dinner. The servants worked hard to prepare delicious food, so skipping meals was not an option.
The chef Zoppa’s skills were indeed praiseworthy. It’s probably because he became a chef to eat delicious food himself.
Converted items into money at the Explorer’s Guild. Thanks to the thieves, items from the 4th floor are still in the item box, so those were also converted.
【4th Floor】
– Thread Spider’s normal drop, cotton thread, 22 pieces, 1760 grill.
– Thread Spider’s normal drop, G-rank magic stone, 21 pieces, 5250 grill.
– Thread Spider’s rare drop, cotton cloth, 1 piece, 1600 grill.
– Worker Ant’s normal drop, ant armor, 19 pieces, 2090 grill.
– Worker Ant’s normal drop, G-rank magic stone, 15 pieces, 3750 grill.
– Worker Ant’s rare drop, acid sac, 2 pieces, 3600 grill.
– Giant Spider’s normal drop, poison sac, 11 pieces, 19,800 grill.
– Giant Spider’s rare drop, Green Leaf, 1 piece, 4500 grill.
– Black Ant’s normal drop, ant iron armor, 5 pieces, 11,500 grill.
– Black Ant’s rare drop, black ant iron armor, 1 piece, 8000 grill.
– Total for the 4th floor: 61,850 grill.
【5th Floor】
– Labyrinthine Cow’s normal drop, labyrinthine cow meat, 31 pieces, 6200 grill.
– Labyrinthine Cow’s normal drop, G-rank magic stone, 24 pieces, 6000 grill.
– Labyrinthine Cow’s rare drop, labyrinthine cow leather, 5 pieces, 12,500 grill.
– Labyrinthine Great Cow’s rare drop, labyrinthine great cow horn, 1 piece, 11,000 grill.
– Total for the 5th floor: 35,700 grill.
6th Floor:
– Gargoyle’s normal drop, F-rank magic stones, 13 pieces, 7800 grill.
*Total for the 6th floor: 7800 grill.*
The grand total is 105,350 grill, covering three days’ worth of item conversion and serving as the Mondulk family’s salary.
Interestingly, the Gargoyle’s normal drop item was only F-rank magic stones. Maybe because it’s a moving statue?
Also, I brought back four pieces of labyrinthine cow meat from the 5th floor. Since it adds up to around 4 kilograms, I plan to keep it in the item box and take it out periodically. Additionally, the Gargoyle’s rare drop, the Petrification Dagger (25,000 grill), also dropped, but I’ll keep it without selling.
The Petrification Dagger has a 15% chance of causing petrification. I think it would activate if you kept poking with it.
By the way, even though I, as an Enchanter, tried to equip the Petrification Dagger, it still felt heavy. It seems all types of swords are a no-go.
This Petrification Dagger was also available at Mr. Gorteo’s shop, but the retail price was 50,000 grill. It’s doubled from our conversion amount, but at the very least, because the Explorer’s Guild is involved, it has ended up like this. There might even be wholesalers involved in this.
