Chapter 7 - Magic Missiles | Adventurer

Tessa stare at the state of the goblin's hand and couldn't help and let out a gasp looking at the complicated expression on Kai's face.

Kai sensing her gaze shifted his eyes and looked back at her.

The two stare at each other for a few seconds until Kai shrugged the back of his head saying 'I did not do it on purpose.'

He did not mind slaughtering monsters indiscriminately the same goes for the other creatures even people but putting them in such pain isn't really his thing.

Only if it is really necessary.

The goblin might have already died quickly yet he knew that the poor fella experienced extreme pain before its passing.

He shook his head and put aside the unnecessary thoughts.

He move on just like that, it wasn't really a big deal the first place.

He was just worried about the impression Tessa will give him.

The monsters and Tessa hadn't yet snap out.

Earlier although the goblins already feared him to the bones due to his display of power now they look at him as if he is some kind of abomination.

They instinctively took a step back cold sweat dripping through their backs and foreheads.

He didn't really give a damn about their thoughts other than Tessa cuz he still need to make a good impression on her so he could squeeze some information.

He could have used his mind control ability but he is reluctant due to him being in a new world and the principles might have changed a bit who knows there might be severe consequences for using it recklessly.

It's a note like Tessa didn't do anything bad to him.

So for now he needs to get a good impression from her for his and her own good.

/Sigh…/

"Lets end this, it's getting out of hand and I'm tired."

Saying so multiple magic circles manifested behind his back radiating a threatening feeling.

Everyone took another step back sensing the pressure coming from the magic circles Tessa wasn't an exception.

'He didn't chant didn't he?'

She questioned squinting her eyes looking at her mysterious savior.

She hadn't noticed it before but Kai did nor do any chant.

In this world chanting using the power of words is the most basic substance of magic.

Yet in front of her is a person using magic without using a chant, magic circles just manifest around him something she cannot comprehend.

To Kai manipulating the natural essence and his own internal energies no different from breathing and as for the magic circles they're just a means to cast spells safely and more efficient.

Treating magic circles as input programs.

Ten magic circles began rotating behind Kai's back and in his eyes we're a scene reminiscent when one play fps games where the player use cheats.

/AIM LOCK/

Ten straight red lines connecting his magic circles and the goblins are present in his vision.

The ten targeted goblins felt all the hairs in their bodies stood up.

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Before anyone could react ten magic missiles were released.

Magic missiles is a simple spell where a concentrated mana is released, the damage of the magical attack depends on the amount of mana used, purity of mana and the degree of concentration put in the spell charged.

In an instant before anyone could even react ten goblins dropped to the ground small holes in their heads that brought their demise.

Earlier if the remaining goblins were in extreme fear now they have fallen in despair.

They turned their backs attacking the green barrier with more ferocity.

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Another ten dropped to the ground lifeless.

Kai continued the one-sidedly slaughter until none remained.

Tessa looks at the scene in utter disbelief unable to comprehend the situation before her.

Kai kneels down to the ground painting heavily.

Seeing this Tessa snap out from her stupor quickly approaching Kai giving him a hand.

'He's exhausted…'

She thought of seeing his pale state.

Damn it, I overdid it, acting cool to a lady isn't simple it seems.

He looks at Tessa giving her a gentle smile reassuring her.

Now that he look at her more clearly and in close proximity she doesn't seem to be human.

A mix of platinum and copper colored hair, long ears, emerald green eyes and a fairy-like face.

Is she an elf?

Kai questioned.

Now this confirms that I've really did reincarnated in a fantasy world.

"Are you ok sir, Kai?"

She asked, the concern in her expression is obvious.

Kai smiled nodding.

"I'm fine miss Tessa. You don't have to worry so much, I am just a bit exhausted."

He decided to be honest for now after not sensing any hidden ulterior motive from the fairy-like beauty.

"If you say so."

She said it but her actions said otherwise.

"Um, miss Tessa can you let go of my hand pretty please…"

He gave her a gentle smile as he did some signals looking at his hand that she's holding tight seemingly not having any plan of letting go.

She's really worried, for a stranger she's certainly is clingy or are all elves are just like this.

"Ah, right I'm sorry."

She quickly let of his hand and gave him a space.

"No worries…"

She backed off pretty fast or so he thought, as if something snapped within her she closed the distance once again.

"By the way sir Kai who are you I haven't seen your face around the city, for someone as strong as you, you should be famous right."

She held Kai in the shoulders their faces only a meter against each other.

"You must be a high level adventurer right?"

"That magic you use I've never seen something like that, is it a skill or something else?"

What the hell with the sudden shift in behavior?

She's clinging before now she's just bold and unrestrained.

He was taken aback, the meek Tessa who backed off pretty fast after a small tease suddenly switched into a curious and unrestrained girl that did not care a thing about propriety.

"I'm just a wandering travel and that's all…"

He replied in a flat tone yet awkward tone.

"Eh…?"

She looks at Kai with a characteristic wide eye and agape mouth not believing a word he says.

"Impossible with your skill you should be a high tier adventurer!"

"What's a adventurer?"

Kai asked in a confused tone and expression which made Tessa speechless for a second.

"Are you for real sir Kai. You don't know what's a adventurer is?"

"No I don't…"

She shook her head and continued now her eyes were sparkling.

"With your skill you could become a very strong adventurer in no time, not to say that a strange way of using magic is amazing."

"If you become a adventurer you can become rich and famous in no time, you'll also earn the respect of prestigious people some kings of countries would even bow their head to curry favor if you're a powerful adventurer."

"You can even become a respected hero or a sage."

She enthusiastically said nonstop not even taking a breath when speaking.

It surely isn't as simple unlike how she depict it but clearly becoming an adventurer is the best way to live in this world for someone who possessed power.

"I'm on my way to Orario to join a Familia would you want to accompany me."

She asked in anticipation.
