My House Is a Magic Power Spot ~Just by Living There I Become the Strongest in the World~-Chapter 241: Bodily Defensive Power and Overflowing Motivation

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…..」 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

「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. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

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.
