031 "Magic"
Half a day later, Sheen and his group arrived at their first destination.
"Is that the blood-sucking vine?"
After getting off the carriage full of dull atmosphere, Sheen saw one of the goals of his visit, the Bloodsucking Vine.
It is a vine group that grows on a road leading to the north, crossing the road like a roadblock, blocking the road.
The vines are as dazzling as blood, and they grow extremely lush, like tangled vines tightly entangled with each other, forming a low and extremely wide plant wall.
However, that's not something to appreciate.
Because, Sheen could clearly see that the vines were all like blood vessels, not only bulging and contracting like transporting something, but also constantly squirming, looking quite disgusting.
If she had just been summoned to this world and saw such a scene, Sheen felt that she must have started vomiting.
"Is this a monster?"
Sheen muttered a little disgustingly.
Next to him, Vivian, who was pulling the carriage, walked over and answered Sheen's words to himself.
"No, that's not a monster, it's just a plant that grows where a lot of blood has been poured. Although it looks like a conscious monster, it's actually no different from other plants. The only difference is that it never absorbs water to grow, but only absorbs blood. So if you are accidentally entangled by it, you will never escape again. You are pierced by those vines and suck the blood in your body and die. For many people, this blood-sucking vine is no different from a monster."
Not only that, the vitality and toughness of this blood-sucking vine seem to be quite strong. Once it grows out, it will proliferate at an extremely fast speed, and it will stop until all the blood components in the earth are absorbed. Ordinary swords cannot even cut off one of their skins. If they are too close, there is still a risk of being entangled with blood sucking. Therefore, in many places, these blood-sucking vines have brought a lot of trouble.
"It is difficult for ordinary people to remove this kind of blood-sucking vine. For this reason, no matter which town it is, once a large number of blood-sucking vine grows nearby, the town manager will send troops to remove it, or entrust it to adventurers in the Adventurers Guild to let adventurers clear it, so as not to cause excessive damage and obstacles."
Vivian patiently explained.
"This time the blood-sucking vines grow on the road to the northern towns. It must have caused a lot of losses for many merchants and also caused a lot of inconvenience to the exchanges and trade between the two towns. Let's clear them as soon as possible."
As he said that, Vivian looked at Melica.
"No problem, is it? Merica?"
Vivian asked.
"No...no problem."
Melika immediately tightened the staff in her hand, glanced at Sheen without a trace, and then walked out.
Seeing this, Sheen raised his eyebrows.
Because, he seemed to have guessed how to remove the blood-sucking vines next.
"It is difficult to use ordinary swords to remove blood-sucking vines, and you cannot approach the past casually. That is too dangerous." After seeing Sheen's vaguely expectant appearance, Vivian smiled and said, "So, the best way is to set a fire first, burn them all, and then slowly dig out the roots that were pierced into the ground to prevent them from growing again."
However, due to the high vitality and resilience, if a fire is ordinary, it will probably take a long time to burn.
unless...
"Burn the blood-sucking vine directly with magic at one time."
When this sentence fell from Vivian's mouth, Merica took action ahead.
“———————————————————”
Merica raised her staff and sang a solemn spell from her seductive red lips.
"——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
At this moment, Melica's face no longer maintained her previous tense and tension, but instead she seemed to have transformed into a natural goblin, rolling up magic on her body while shouting loudly.
“Heaven Fire of the Heaven Fire!”
On the staff raised by Merica, the crystal embedded at the top of the staff burst into light.
Suddenly, a heat current emerged from above Melika and turned into countless flames, sprinkling on the blood-sucking vine like a rain curtain.
The flames turned the surrounding area into a crimson color, and the sunset was called by the sunset, which also caused the temperature in the air to continue to rise.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
The next second, the endless rain of flames fell into the blood-sucking vine, and like an explosion, igniting fire waves one after another, completely covering the blood-sucking vine.
The blood-red vine fell into the sea of fire and was burned.
“————!”
It was like a silent scream, and in the sea of fire, the blood-sucking vines were struggling wildly.
I believe that no one who sees that scene will not think it is just a plant, but will seriously suspect that they are monsters, just like Sheen.
Unfortunately, the monster at least knows how to escape or fight back when facing a life-and-death crisis, but the blood-sucking vine cannot do this. It just churned in the sea of fire, as if it was making the final struggle.
Not long after, under the burning of the fire, the vines turned into coke one after another and were burned to pieces.
The air is completely filled with the high temperature and scorching heat of the flame.
"That's magic..."
Sheen, who was illuminated by the fire, stared at the scene, not sure if he was moved or said so.
Although Sheen saw monsters that could spit out flames and lightning more than once in the monster forest, it was undoubtedly the first time for Sheen to see magic like this.
Sheen stared at the back of Melika who had performed this magical feast.
Until all the blood-sucking vines were burned out, the fire was like an illusion, and as Melica put away her magic, it gradually went out.
The large area of blood-sucking vines was burned out, leaving only the charred ground.
"call..."
Merica then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and put away her staff.
"Thanks a lot"
Vivian then stepped forward and gave some comfort to Melica.
"It's still as powerful as ever."
Thier also made a light comment.
"It's worthy of being an elf..."
Lumiya, holding Thierre's arm, threw admiring eyes at Melica.
In response to this, Melica just shook her head and said, "I didn't do anything special, I just used magic as I did."
As he said this, a smile appeared on Melica's face.
Obviously, facing these companions, Melika's emotions have not been tense and nervous, which has slightly restored her original personality.
Seeing this, Sheen, who had originally planned to step forward together, stopped moving.
Looking at Melica's obviously heartfelt smile, Sheeon gave up the plan that had just risen.
"It seems that there is no way for the other party to teach me magic."
I have to say that this is a regret.
but...
"Magic?"
Feeling the abundant magic power flowing in his body, and thinking about the [magic] skills he holds, Sheen felt that he should find an opportunity to learn magic.
