Night fell again, Rikka flipped through the novel, and Boom took out the black wood staff. Since there is nothing to do, it is better to practice some more.
Seeing this, Rikka quietly lit up the magic crystal shadow lamp. Since the dark elf Christine across the door has guessed her identity, she must be careful about the secret of Boom's space magician.
Rikka pursed her lips, seemingly still savoring the taste of the two pieces of brown sugar cake. The magic light belt around Boom was getting brighter and brighter.
In the past few days, Boom has always maintained a sufficient reserve of magic power in his body, and in this small courtyard, he has fully adapted to the state of a junior magician.
The reason why he had the idea of attacking the mid-level magician is naturally attributed to Rikka. By changing the appearance of the magic circle, Boom gained a farther field of vision.
If he could only see the scenery ten meters away in the past, now he can see the sunset on the horizon. Although this perception will not be directly reflected in his strength, it can guide him to the peak.
"The magic power is sensed well, the location is safe, and no one disturbs me." Boom thought, and gradually integrated his mind with the magic power in his body.
Time seemed to have passed for several days, and it seemed as if only one second had passed. Boom had lost his sense of space, lost his human body, and was falling rapidly from the sky.
The cold sea water is so familiar, and the fish around it are still the same. After the previous painful experience, Boom instantly hid in the reef.
"This is not the ocean I visited for the first time, at least not at the same depth."
"There is no trace of sunshine, which means this place is far away from the sea, so far that even the temperature is even colder."
"The vortex that appears out of thin air is more dangerous, and the size of other similar creatures is far greater than mine."
"Get recognition! This should be the only way to advance successfully!"
After Boom thought for a while, he showed up again. However, he planned to make a sneak attack, but he didn't know that he had already been targeted by others of his kind.
I saw a light blue fish coming quietly. Although it had no sharp teeth or long horns, it was extremely fast.
As he passed by, Boom felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and blood gushed out from it. But the sneak attacker had already fled away.
Perhaps because of this bloody aura, another red fish turned its head and looked at Boom greedily. With a strong body and a mouthpart that was like a knife, Boom tried his best to swim far away, but he still lost a piece of scale meat.
.
The spikes covered with blue spots scratched his forehead. The tail fin showed an earthy yellow color, and was knocked into the vortex. This area was in chaos due to the appearance of Boom, the fish went crazy, and blood flowed across the area. p>
Boom lay quietly on the sea bed, thinking that he would definitely die because of this, but the entire space fell into deathly silence again. Although the fish school had long since disappeared, the danger never receded.
The colorful corals were withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sky-like jellyfish swarms were collapsing bit by bit. Boom forgot the pain and lost the ability to breathe.
With his magic power exhausted and exhausted, he fell into a deep sleep. His body slowly floated upwards, finally breaking away from the sea and rushing high into the sky.
The dazzling light brought him back to consciousness. Boom turned his head and looked down. The ocean was still the same ocean, and his body was still a small white fish.
The wounds on his body seemed to have never appeared before. Apart from being a little depressed, he was surprisingly intact. But he knew that he had failed to advance. He was completely defeated and was unable to resist.
The perspective returned to the small courtyard of Gaoting. Rikka didn't know what Boom was going through, but her face was already pale.
The pills were placed neatly on the bedside, and all the potions purchased earlier were taken out. Boom, who was practicing as usual, suddenly went berserk, and the usually gentle magic light belt became even more twisted and twisted.
However, from the beginning to the end, only half an hour passed. Even before Rikka even chewed the snacks in her mouth, she was so frightened by Boom's strange behavior that she didn't know what to do.
Although Rikka is not a magician, she hangs out with Boom all day long, and naturally knows under the influence that she must not forcibly interrupt the other person's practice.
Wait, all she could do now was wait. Waiting for Boom to wake up again, or to return to normal due to drowsiness. But the worst case still happened, a bright red jet sprayed into the basin.
Boom slowly opened his eyes, and the magic light band around him also dissipated. After seeing Rikka's expression, he naturally wanted to say a few words of comfort.
But he didn't expect it, or he overestimated his endurance. Because the injuries caused by the magic power were no longer suppressed, blood spurted out from his mouth first.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? I...I'm going to find a troll witch doctor for you right now!" Rikka stood up in a hurry, but her arm was held by Boom.
"No...it's okay. It's just that the advancement failed. It's a pity that the high-grade magic crystal was lost." Boom braced himself, refused Rikka's support, and walked out of the room alone.
The moonlight fell all over her body, and the gentle breeze blew her black robe. Rikka behind her bit her lips tightly, but did not take another step forward.
Until this moment, Boom still could not accept his failure. Perhaps his subconscious was always filled with a persistence for power.
"If you can't become stronger, you can't protect the people you care about most, let alone promise anything."
"Why do I work so hard and abandon life completely, but I am still so incompetent?"
"I want to become a great mage, I want to be a strong man standing on that peak, I want to protect my sister with my own hands, and I want to never see any sadness again."
"Rikka, you think so every rainy night, right? This feeling is really annoying."
Turning to look at Rikka, magic crystal powder slowly floated from between his fingers. Although Boom's demeanor was still a little sluggish, most of it had recovered.
A moment later, Boom fell into a deep sleep after taking a few pills. Seeing that Rikka was fine, she also extinguished the magic crystal shadow lamp.
But the next morning, Rikka looked at Boom blankly. Not only did he get up early, he even finished breakfast. The black wooden staff floated in the air, and the familiar magic light belt appeared again.
Rikka sighed, then took out some dried meat from the dimensional space, mixed it with tea and chewed it. Since her brother refused to give up the advancement, at least she must not leave the room today.
As time passed by, Rikka went from nervousness to lack of interest, and finally started playing with the bunch of stupid hair on her head.
"Hmph! Bad brother, big bad guy! Forget it if you can't advance, what's so good about being a magician?" Rikka yawned and slowly closed his eyes.
The sun shines through the glass windows, making the room even warmer. Boom has no intention of stopping his practice, but he will not try to advance easily.
Failure is nothing to Boom, because he has already experienced all kinds of failures in his thirteen years. Failure to advance this time does not mean that he will fail next time, nor does it mean failure forever.
The room was quiet. On the left was the obsession emanating from Boom's body. On the right, Rikka, who was sleeping soundly, was also accompanying her in her own way.
One step away is like looking at a mountain across the sea. What Boom has to do at this time is to lock the target and keep moving forward. Standing where you are, you may not fall, but you are doomed to fail. And the so-called thorns under your feet will be there.
