The sun is almost down when we got back to the town. We could have went back faster with Alicia's dragon form but I don't want to catch any unwanted attention.
We went to the guild, reported the job, got our pay, grabbed dinner at the inn, took a bath, and sleep.
Days, weeks, months have passed.
My magical powers and combat abilities have improved.
It's been almost half a year since then. Me and Alicia have been working together doing jobs at the guild. Improving ourselves and upgrading our equipments.
I am now confident to say that my magic abilities have improved since then. I can use my magic offensively and defensively much better now.
I mainly fire element as my offensive ability and wind as my defensive ability. Although I did develop some water and earth skills in case of emergency.
And since chants or incantations are not needed to cast magic here. Only imagination to visualize the magic is needed. With my overwhelming adolescent delusions, I named my skills just to make it easier for me to imagine what I wanted.
Fire skills:
[Fireball] - one of the most basic fire spells in RPG sense.
[Flame Shroud] - a defensive fire spell.
[Flame Edge] - enchants my weapon with fire magic.
Water skill:
[Aqua Shot] - pressurized water travelling at high speed, cutting enemies down.
Wind skills:
[Swift] - wind enchantment for my body. Boosting my speed. Allowing me to dodge and weave through the battlefield. [Swift] only boosts my speed but not my stamina so continuously using it will make me tired. Although I have been working on improving my stamina so it shouldn't be a major issue now.
[Gust] - sends a strong gust of wind to the enemies making them immobile for a short amount of time.
Earth skill:
[Guardian's Bulwark] - an earth defensive magic. A shield made of hard rocks combined with magic enhancements making it even harder than normal rocks.
With these skills at my hand now. Me and Alicia finished job after job. Racking up the money. Climbing through the ranks. And gaining more combat experiences.
Me and Alicia are now Silver ranked adventurers. We can now accept jobs that involves the Terran Abyss itself. Exploring the dungeon and fighting new monsters.
"Now that we are Silver ranked now, shall we Alicia?"
"Aye Rin!"
"Alright, let's go!"
