Chapter 14 – Preparation and Test Run (part 4)

Upon arriving at the knights' stables, I told the horse that was loaned to me that I would be heading to the great forest before returning to the village. 

I asked if he wanted me to take him back to the village first, but instead, the horse put his head close to me like he was asking to be petted and said he would take me.

Actually, the destination I wanted to go to was not suitable for this type of horse, but there were also other things I wanted to try and I needed the help of this horse in front of me.

After leaving the city, I traveled not on the usual path if we were to go to the village, I held the ofuda in my hand, imagining the magic I would use and flowing it into the ofuda.

Nothing happened to me, the horse, or the ofuda in my hand. However, when I attached it to the body of the horse I was riding and activated it, it performed the support magic I had previously imagined.

‘ Support magic, Agility up ‘

The horse I was riding was walking faster than before. The horse seemed surprised by what was happening to its body. I stroked the horse's neck and calmed it down, I said that I was using this magic on it.

This horse was really smart, he seemed to understand my words immediately, he calmed down and even began to familiarize himself with his new speed.

When we were quite far from the normal road, I felt some presence approaching us, and the Wild wolf appeared in front of us.

Gentle horses that don't have as much courage as Helmet horses look frantically at the surroundings. I again petted him and asked him to calm down. This time I added two support magic to my riding horse.

“ Support magic, Strenght up; Protection. “

Feeling the energy flowing through his body, Gentle horse was much calmer than before and I could feel his courage increasing.

The Wild wolf from behind tried to pounce on us, I told Gentle horse to kick them with all his might. And sure enough, the wolf got a good hit and was knocked unconscious.

' With support magic, even Gentle horses can achieve this stage. '

According to the information I heard from the horse caretaker, a member of the Camellia village's  vigilante corps, although the Gentle horse is not inferior to the Helmet horse in strength and stamina, however, with its innate nature, the Gentle horse does not have as strong attack power as the helmet horse.

Seeing a Gentle horse that could render a Wild wolf unconscious with a single attack, the other wild wolf began to look afraid and with a little intimidation they all ran away.

Seeing an unconscious Wild wolf, I again flowed mana into the ofuda catalyst while imagining protection. After that I attached it to the Wild wolf's body and when I thought of activating it again, the magic enveloped the Wild wolf's body in front of me.

With this, I was even more convinced. Using ofuda as a catalyst I can prepare the ofuda and use it when I need it without having to use my own mana when needed. in other words I can use magic more efficiently even with my relatively mediocre mana capacity, this is the same as we prepare batteries when needed.

We continued our journey into the great forest section from a different side of the village path. After going deep enough I stopped and dismounted my horse, the path after this would be difficult if I stayed on the horse.

"I want to ask you a favor, can you stay here for a while and eat the plants that are there? I will protect you from afar, you can trust me. "

After making a sound, the Gentle horse nodded its head and approached the bushes and started eating the leaves on the bushes.

I placed some ofuda around the gentle horse and then climbed up a fairly tall tree and dispelled my presence.

A few minutes passed, and just as I wanted, a few presence beings began to approach. The Gentle horse that could not sense the presence of other creatures just ate without caring about its surroundings.

Suddenly, a large tiger leapt up and tried to pounce on the gentle horse from the side that was best suited for an ambush. The Saber tiger opened its mouth wide and prepared to bite the neck of the Gentle horse in front of it.

“ Graaawwkk-kaak! “

The Saber tiger's head hit something and stopped its leap, and when the Saber tiger got up after falling, there was a look of pain and confusion on its face.

He came back closer and was blocked by something invisible, then he tried to claw at the object that was blocking it but his efforts were in vain.

I used the catalyst ofuda to create a barrier around the Gentle horse. Honestly, without the catalyst I could only create a glass-like barrier in front of me for now and it only had one side.

But with ofuda as a catalyst, I could make it better, I envisioned a cube-like barrier surrounding the Gentle horse.

Seeing the Saber tiger's attempt, the Gentle horse was initially surprised but after seeing it and feeling that he could not get any closer, the gentle horse calmly looked at the Saber tiger nearby.

The Saber tiger who saw the Gentle horse just looked at it calmly while chewing on a leaf, as if feeling provoked and increasingly trying to destroy whatever it was that was blocking him at the moment until something surprised him.

Something seemed to sting one of his legs, he looked around and found nothing under his stung leg, however, there was a paper not far from him. As Saber tiger slowly touched the paper with his front paw nothing happened, he tilted his head as if to say 'is it just me?'.

Unfortunately, just as his vigilance faded with his eyes on his front leg, he felt a sting bigger than the one he had felt before and fell down. Unable to move his whole body, fear began to appear on his face.

I, who was watching the situation, didn't move from my position because I still felt several other existences around here and some were getting closer.

Some Goblins appeared to see the saber tiger lying helplessly and examined it, but the Saber tiger still did not move even when touched by them. The Goblins laughed and started attacking the helpless Saber tiger.

The Goblins had been watching the situation as the Saber tigers tried to destroy the barrier, so they were waiting for the situation.

Another Goblin started looking at the papers on the ground and pointing and touching them with a piece of wood in his hand.

One of the papers let out a gust of wind, another paper nearby let out a stronger wind and startled them, but when they realized they were fine they started laughing.

“ gugi gugi gugi “

One Goblin who seemed interested in the magical object in front of it touches the other ofuda and the log in its hand catches fire, the goblin is initially surprised, but gets excited about what it finds while the other Goblins are still trying to kill the Saber tiger.

A loud roar was heard and Saber Tiger's body began to move again and began to fight the Goblins who attacked him. All the Goblins panicked and ran towards the Goblin who was playing with ofuda.

The wounded Saber tiger tried to chase them, but when he was close enough to the Goblins, a fire appeared with a large enough size and burned the Saber tiger.

The Saber tiger tried to put out the fire on his body, seeing this the Goblins tried to escape and unfortunately a large bear appeared near them. The bear devoured them and finished off the Saber tiger.

The bear also saw the Gentle horse and tried to attack it too. The barrier protecting the Gentle horse began to crack after receiving several attacks from this bear.

(Killer bear: a large bear with tremendous strength. It can easily topple trees with its attacks. If you encounter this bear, climbing trees is not a good choice. Rank: C. Material: Killer bear Fur, Killer bear Claws, Killer bear meat, Magic crystal small.)

I threw the rock in my hand at the bear, as his attention was drawn to me, a confident look on his face as he saw me up in the tree. He ran and lunged at the tree I was in, and after a few looks the bear looked confused.

The tree I was climbing was not very big, but it was very sturdy as it took the attack from the bear and made the bear confused.

On the trunk of the tree a paper is attached, yes this is an earth-type ofuda that is commonly used to hold up walls that are starting to become brittle in slum areas.

The same effect occurs on this tree, in other words, this ofuda strengthens or hardens the object attached by this ofuda and is not only effective on objects made of stone or soil.

I dropped a light-type ofuda and the bright light dazzled the bear's eyes, the bear who was surprised by the bright light that suddenly appeared in front of him, backed away and closed his eyes.

I who saw that immediately attached another ofuda to the big bear's face, this time the darkness-type ofuda made the bear's vision disappear and the bear panicked even more.

Of course, while doing so, I also attached several other ofuda to the bear's body. To be more precise, three ofuda of lightning and activating them made the big bear fall unconscious after receiving a large amount of electric shock.

"It's true what the shopkeeper's granny said, I can determine the amount of elemental output on this ofuda. And one ofuda of lightning can paralize a saber tiger, and three can make a C-ranked Killer bear faint. Muahahahahahaha.... I found an interesting toy! Hmm? "

I felt a sense of presence near me that was quietly moving, when I turned my head and saw that one of the Goblins had survived and when it saw me it prostrated itself as if it was worshipping me.

“ Heee...!!? “

I again felt another presence approaching me and saw a Wild wolf who then sat down in front of me and bowed it's head.

“ HEEE!!? “
