Chapter 15 | The Assassin Gains a New Ally

At last, it was time to meet the person I came for—Nevan.

It took more than being born as a direct descendant to bear the Romalung name. Using it showed that Nevan was the greatest masterpiece of her generation, one born from House Romalung’s selective breeding and high education.

A servant was leading Dia, Tarte, and me to her.

“Hey, Lugh. What is light magic like? I don’t know much about it because I’ve never seen it in practice, and it’s difficult to find any documentation on it,” said Dia.

“Ah, I am interested, too. It sounds really cool, but I’ve been wondering what it is actually like,” Tarte added.

“It’s more than just cool. It’s an incredibly strong elemental affinity. When used for attack, it boosts your speed and firing range. As you might expect from the name, it enables you to move at the speed of light,” I answered.

“That would make someone impossible to avoid,” Tarte remarked, breaking into a sweat likely from just thinking about fighting someone like that.

“Yeah, you’d be done the moment they struck. I can’t think of a deadlier attack,” I agreed.

There was very little written on light magic, making the subject challenging to learn about. Fortunately, I had been able to study it in the goddess’s room.

Dia brought a hand to her chin. “You said ‘when used for attack.’ That means it has other uses, too, right?”

“Light magic can be used to search a vast area very quickly. It is capable of healing injuries as well. The best Tuatha Dé recovery magic can do is aid with surgery and natural recovery, but light magic is entirely different. It’s capable of mending wounds on its own. Light magic is suited to just about everything,” I explained.

“…Hearing that just makes me want it even more,” Dia confessed, unable to contain her excitement.

If I had to pick only one elemental affinity, I probably would have selected light. There were two reasons I didn’t, however.

The first issue was that light or dark had to be a person’s only affinity. You could possess no others, and they were not included in Total Affinity. No matter how great light magic was, the collection of earth, fire, wind, and water was superior.

The second problem was the limited attack power. Light was swift, but its strength paled in comparison to fire’s raw energy or earth’s physical mass. I required the strength to kill the hero, someone with off-the-charts abilities, so any affinity with weaker punch was out of the question.

“This way, please,” the servant beckoned.

He opened a door, and we heard the sound of a piano coming from inside. The melody being played was beautiful and elegant, much like the room itself.

The chamber was stocked with exotic items gathered from all over the world, yet the assortment lacked the tackiness of someone who had recently come into wealth. They were arranged with a sense of true nobility.

“Welcome, Lugh Tuatha Dé and friends. I’ve been looking forward to your arrival,” Nevan greeted us.
