The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated Chapter 109: The Question Without an Answer

"Your magic power has been constantly increasing?"

With Vivian at the head, the group of girls were all focused on lika at this mont in shock.

"Yes." lika herself seed to be just as shocked as everyone else. She was also confused and uneasy, "I don't know why either. At first, I thought that I was just mistaken, but following the fights during these last few days, I feel that my magic power had indeed increased."

The evidence was that back when lika was subjugating the ogres, the magic she cast were far more powerful than what she was previously capable of.

Due to her own magic power having increased, the amount of magic power lika used when casting her spells had also increased. Thus, the natural result was that the power of her spells have also increased.

However, she had obviously not leveled up, so why did her magic power suddenly rise?

lika was herself confused and uneasy at this phenonon.

Vivian and group also started taking this seriously.

"Generally speaking, for sothing like magic power to grow, it would normally be sothing that follows the growth of one's levels or from having learned so kind of skill that increases magic power. Beyond those, there are outside causes, such as having drank so kind of magic potion that increases magic power or the effect of so kind of treasure." Vivian questioned lika, "lika, did you learn so kind of new skill or used so kind of treasure or potion?"

"N-Not at all." lika shook her head and hurriedly replied, "If I had, then I wouldn't feel so strange about this."

True enough. This was sothing that even Vivian knew, so there's no way that an elf mage like lika would be ignorant of it.

For lika of all people to have no idea what the cause of this was, that at least proves that the increase in magic power definitely was not due to any mundane cause.

"Then, lika," Lumia also got worried, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Right. If sothing was wrong with your body and that affected the flow of your life force, then it wouldn't be strange for there to be abnormalities with magic power, which is transford from life force." Vivian spoke seriously, "lika, did you feel anything unusual about your body? No matter how small it might be. Think carefully."

"Uhmn." lika imdiately bunched up her brow and started thinking furiously.

Vivian and Lumia both looked at lika. They didn't hurry her and patiently waited for her to go through her mories.

Shien on the other hand didn't speak again since the very start. He just quietly waited at the back, focused on lika, and his eyes flashed.

At that mont…

"Do you have so thoughts on lika's condition?"

A voice ca from the side, which brought Shien back to reality.

Only then did Shien discover that at so point, Diere had moved next to him.

"Speak." Diere didn't look at Shien, but she still spoke, "What are your thoughts?"

"Thoughts huh?" Shien scratched his face, "I can't really call them a real though, but I did detect a few things."

"What things?" Diere asked without beating about the bush.

Shien once again focused his gaze onto lika and narrowed his eyes.

Actually, ever since a few days ago, Shien had already discovered that there were so abnormalities with lika.

It was because of the reactions from the [Magic Detection] skill.

"You guys shouldn't have discovered it right?" Shien took a pose and whispered, "Righ now, all around lika, there's been a constant near undetectable weak flow of magic power gathering about her and even flowing into her body."

"What?" Diere herself bunched up her brow in surprise, "You're saying that the reason that lika's magic power is suddenly increasing may very well be because a constant weak flow of magic power is entering her body?"

"I can't particularly guarantee that as fact." Shien shook his head, "However, if you're asking if I have any ideas, then that's the only thing I've discovered."

Diere's kept her worried expression at that and fell silent.

A while later, Diere spoke up.

"lika is an elf, and elves are life forms born from nature itself. If magic power is indeed constantly gathering in her vicinity and even entering her body, then it wouldn't really be strange for lika to have increased in magic power." Diere spoke blandly, "Basically, this current situation isn't all that different from the basic logic behind magic springs."

"Magic springs?" Shien was stunned for a mont before reacting, "You're saying that the magic power in question was the fundantal magic power of the world itself that was flowing through the air?"

Magic springs were ford because the magic power of the world had gathered in one place and materialized into a liquid form.

And lika, as an elf born from nature, is naturally close to nature and the world itself. In that case, if the magic power in the air itself flowed into her body, then as an elf of nature, it wouldn't be surprising if she were to absorb that magic power and grow from it.

"The question is though, just why is it that the world's magic power suddenly started to gather around lika."

Diere brought up the question remainding.

This ti, even Shien had narrowed his eyes and fell silent.

Shien thus didn't discover that at that mont, lika was currently blatantly staring at him.

Looking at Shien who was deeply in thought, lika's own gaze wavered.

If they're talking about if there was anything unusual with her recently, then lika could only think of one thing.

And that thing had to do with Shien.

(Ever since that night, I feel like the feeling of closeness to Mr. Shien had grown even stronger)

That had weakened the guarded feeling that lika had held toward shien little by little.

A bit before, the reason that lika agreed to allow Shien to accompany her to prevent her from ever being alone was also because of this.

At this point, lika would even unconsciously want to get closer to Shien every now and then. Her gaze would also often unconsciously move toward Shien. There was even once that Lumia had told her that when she was asleep, her was unconsciously muttering Shien's na, which embarrassed her to no end.

(Why did I suddenly beco this way?)

lika was rather worried over this, and her hands unconsciously touched at her clothes.

The flower crown that Shien had given lika sat quietly nder that patch of clothes, undiscovered by anyone.

Then, not even Shien himself noticed that the magic power gathering about lika was in actuality gathered to that flower crown. It was just that as it got closer to the flower crown, it was absorbed by lika as an elf of nature.

(Uhmn, I feel like I'm becoming more and more unlike myself.)

lika. who didn't know any of this, ntally cried out.

In the end, lika decided not to speak up about that particular abnormality. She instead just claid that she hadn't felt anything unusual.

With that, the question naturally beca unanswerable.

Without any other recourse, the group could only give up and continue cleaning up the battleground.

Not long after, the transport team once again set off.
