Chapter 241
Nagini recovered from being blown away by the boar in a few seconds .
She got up and tried once more but…
「《Perfect Defense》 —— Uhyaaaa!」
「Oh she’s blasting off again…」
She tried to catch the blow but, she was blown away once more .
「Trees and plants, catch her . 」
As I watched I ordered the trees to catch her before she fell to the ground .
She wouldn’t get hurt from such a small drop…but every time Nagini landed she would form gouges in the grass .
「I…I failed again ssu… . . 」
「Hyahha~ You’re failing ‘cause you’re too scared Young miss . Just be more confident and you’ll succeed . You have plenty of magic power . 」
「Uu…can I really do this ssu?」
Nagini said with an uncertain expression . Hesty spoke up when she saw her lack of confidence .
「You have, enough magic power, to do it . In reality, even as you get, sent flying, you aren’t really, getting injured . It’s just a question of, using the right amount of power, consciously . Just stick out your chest, and do it . 」
「That’s right . Just as Hesty-neesan says . If you use 《Perfect Defense》 correctly you should be able to completely negate the damage . 」
Ash said and glanced at the lively boars .
They were much livelier than usual because the golems’ defenses had been lowered to the minimum . They were acting ferocious and their destructive urges didn’t decrease .
Usually this kind of characteristic would be extremely annoying, but for the purposes of training it was quite useful . For Nagini they were quite the enemy .
「Are you being serious ssu… . . no matter how they charge they don’t weaken…and they have enough power to break through trees……to completely negate that with just some defensive magic…… . 」
As Nagini had stated, there were plenty of broken trees lying around at this point . They weren’t my garden trees, but the boars had more than enough power to destroy the trees of the forest .
But Ash nodded nonetheless .
「Hyahha~ of course… . . well for regular people it might be really hard, but for you and other Dragon Kings like Hesty-neesan pretty easy . Boss over there can do it with ease . 」
He said suddenly bringing me and Hesty into this .
「Hm? Leaving Hesty aside, you say I can do this too? I’ve never used that defensive magic before…but can I really?」
I had made many golems and used trees to drive them away, but I had never experienced using defensive magic . I tilted my head in curiosity but Hesty spoke up .
「n, if it’s you then it’s definitely, possible . If it’s that degree, of attack then using, 《Perfect Defense》 would allow you to just, stand there and take the, attack without any, damage at all . 」
「Hyahha~ just as she says . In fact the 《Coating》 you usually use is a type of defensive magic . If you use that I still don’t think the boar could do anything . 」
「Ohh? Coating has that much defensive power? That’s pretty crazy . 」
「Hyahha~ well that’s originally what it was meant for… . 」
Up until now I had used it for making sure my magic didn’t leak, breathing underwater, and everyday tasks…so it was a defensive magic?
「I see . That’s pretty interesting . 」
It was at this point when Hesty tilted her head towards me .
「Hm? Daichi, are you interested in, defensive magics?」
「Well… . yeah a bit . 」
It was magic I had not used properly yet, it made me pretty interested .
「Want to try? I can, give some support . 」
「……hmm I guess . It’s a good chance so why not give it a shot . 」
Since I was told that by both of them then I might as well give it the ol’ college try .
「For now how, about you mimic the magic, that Ash and Nagini used…the 《Perfect Defense》? Try that . 」
I got up and stood in front the boar that had been sending Nagini flying . I heard a cheer from the side .
「Hyahha~ So Boss is gonna use 《Perfect Defense》 with his crazy magic power!? I’m looking forward to it!」
「U-ussu! A-allow me to learn from your example ssu!」
Ash and Nagini gazed at me with glittering eyes .
「You already know this magic really well so I don’t think there’s much to look forward to you guys… . 」
I said with a wry smile as I readied myself .
……just in case things went wrong I equipped myself with my wood armor .
The entire experiment would be a waste if the armor was too thick so I made it much thinner than usual .
On top of that I activated some defensive magic on my limbs .
「Alright then…《Perfect Defense》」
Then just like Ash did I stuck out both hands and got in a stance .
The big boar in front of me locked onto me as a target .
It snorted as it dashed violently towards me .
……now all I had to do was grasp its head… . .
I imitated Ash and positioned myself properly to grab the boar’s head . At that moment… .
——Doshin!!
A clashing sound rang out as we collided .
The boar slammed into my hands and its head got squashed .
It was as if it had crashed into a huge tree .
The boar simply collapsed then and there .
「……… . . 」
The surroundings fell silent in that instant .
This result should have counted as a success .
At the very least it wasn’t a failure but for some reason the result was different than what I had seen…
「More than me stopping it…it felt like it stopped before me and collapsed on its own . 」
I expressed my impression and Hesty simply cast her gaze downwards and spoke .
「Well… . . it didn’t do it, on its own…you just put so much magic power in your arms, that it created a wall-like defense, I think…」
「Yeah, after seeing the magical power whirling around your hands Boss I can’t even joke about it . 」
「W-when Master does it it almost doesn’t feel right to simply call it defense anymore…」
「……I just tried doing what you showed me and this is how you treat me . 」
Well be that as it may it’s good that I learned a new defensive technique .
「… . . un, Master was amazing was I’ll put in much more effort and aim much higher ssu! I’ll do my best ssu…!」
It helped increase Nagini’s enthusiasm so it turned out alright .
And so Nagini’s boar hunting training continued for the rest of the day .
