Magic Creation

It took more than an hour for Leon to reach the fifteenth floor smoothly.

As soon as he arrived at the fifteenth floor, Leon was warmly welcomed by the dungeon with seven Minotaurs.

Looking at this wave of monsters, Leon's eyes flashed with a smile. He raised his hand, and a little light condensed in his hand.

The Minotaurs seemed to have sensed the danger. They roared one by one, rushing towards Leon.

However, not long after rushing out, the light in Leon's hand gathered into a ball.

It fired at them at such a quick speed that the Minotaurs had no time to react.

The seven Minotaurs were instantly pierced by countless balls of light. They turned into ashes one by one, leaving only the magic stones falling on the ground.

"Well, it's powerful, but it consumed one-third of my magic power at once."

Looking at the destructive power caused by the light magic he had just created, Leon was satisfied but his mouth twitched.

Leon felt that the magic just now had drained one-third of his magic power and mind at once.

In the Danmachi world, the power source of magic is generally magic power and mind that complement each other, but the power of magic mainly depends on the mind.

A mage uses the magic power in their body as a guide, and then they use their mind to absorb the magic power from the outside world to increase their own magic power, so as to maximize the power of their magic.

Otherwise, with the pitiful magic power in the body of the mage who has just awakened a magic, they can't even use their magic a single time.

When using magic, a mage with a strong mind can absorb more external magic power to increase their magic power and perform more powerful magic, but this takes a toll on their mind.

Seven Minotaurs were killed instantly with just one magic. Even if this firepower is not quite at Lv.3, it is definitely at the top among Lv.2.

"Let's call this magic the Balls of Light."

"Next, I will create another light magic, and then fight in close combat."

After naming the magic he had just created, Leon prepared to create another magic and then fight in close combat.

Magic isn't child's play. If he thoughtlessly keeps on using magic, he will enter Mind Zero.

Bell was lucky. After he fainted, the dungeon did not take advantage of the opportunity to end him.

He also met Ais and Riveria, so he survived safely.

Leon didn't think he had that luck. After picking up the magic stones, he continued to move forward along the passage.

After turning a corner, Leon encountered the hospitality of the dungeon as expected, and another wave of Minotaurs appeared.

"Speaking of which, is it true that only Minotaurs are born in the fifteenth floor?"

"I didn't encounter any other monsters yesterday."

Looking at the Minotaurs that were roaring and rushing towards him, Leon thought curiously.

Although the area between the fifteenth and seventeenth floors is mainly known for Minotaurs, there shouldn't be only one kind of monster.

But he had stayed on the fifteenth floor for three hours yesterday and still didn't encounter any other monsters.

With such doubts, Leon began his new round of magic creation.

He raised his hand, causing white light spots to quickly appear around him. They turned into streams of light and rushed towards him.

After arriving in front of Leon, the light spots changed. They quickly extended, and turned into a series of light rays connected together.

Finally, they turned into a transparent barrier.

"Barrier of Light!"

Leon murmured in a low voice.

The attacks of the Minotaurs that had rushed over fell on the barrier of light in front of Leon.

The powerful impact only caused the barrier of light to sway slightly, and then there was no other movement.

The joint attack of the five Minotaurs was unable to shake the defensive magic that Leon had just created.

"Only a quarter of the magic power was consumed, not bad."

Looking at the results in front of him, Leon nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he drew the long sword at his waist, and swung it down, ignoring the barrier of light.

The sword made contact with one of the Minotaurs. The Minotaur that was slashed seemed to be in disbelief.

It was unable to understand how the human in front of it could ignore this barrier.

"Since I can create magic as I please, I must create magic that is beneficial to me."

"Do you think I will only create a turtle shell to protect myself?"

"But I only thought of this in a hurry and forgot to add the thorn effect."

(T/N: Thorn effect = Getting injured for attacking the user. Minecrafters will get it)

"But this is enough. I can attack you, but your attack will be blocked."

"I will think about a magic with thorn effect later."

After killing the first Minotaur, the remaining four were frightened and took a few steps back, looking at Leon warily.

Seeing this, Leon smiled. However, Leon knew that these Minotaurs could not understand what he was saying.

So, he did not say any more nonsense. He rushed ahead and launched a violent attack on the four Minotaurs. The light barrier moved along with him.

These four Minotaurs can be considered the most frustrated monsters that Leon has encountered in the past few days.

Being chased and beaten by Leon, but unable to attack him.

They could only watch Leon's sword swing at them aggrievedly.

"Ah, it disappeared."

After picking up the magic stones, Leon found that the barrier of light was disappearing.

"That's enough magic creation for today. Tomorrow, I'll bring more potions to restore my mind and experiment with more magic."

Leon put the last magic stone into the bag and said with a smile.

Then, he took another step and moved forward.

In the next few hours, Leon did not continue to use magic. Instead, he opted for hand-to-hand combat.

Although he had bought some potions to recover his mental exhaustion last night, these potions were reserved for close combat.

There is no extra potion to focus on magic.

Don't think that melee combat does not exhaust the mind.

On the contrary, it is very mentally taxing to concentrate during close combat.

Otherwise, Leon would not have used up all the potions yesterday.

Time passed silently, and soon, the day was about to be over.

Leon set out on the road back home.
