Trapped in Another World With No Magic

Chapter 178: For, He Has a Shotgun

Magnir attempts a low-power spell that he has been practicing in hopes of being more useful to the Fievegal. There are many powerful mages in the inner-circle of the Fievegal's leadership, including the Dragon Empresses, but extending to even the humans in the form of Wenlianna, and the goblins in Ahok. As such, 'magic development' inspired by the otherworlder Emperor is a top priority of the Fievegal, and the spell Magnir is employing is one such result of that field of research, even if the process itself is chaotic.

That spell, of course, is one that serves as a taunt for enemies. It technically qualifies as a void-magic 'hypnosis' spell, but the strength of the spell belies its simplicity.

The goal is simple; force enemies to attack Magnir.

The advent of the otherworlder Emperor of Dragons, or more accurately, Emperor of the Fievegal, has brought about concept-changing ideas for how to employ magic, ranging from how to narrow certain spells from offensive-style attacks to medical uses, and general categories of magic to specific purpose-driven spells like the 'Taunt' spell Magnir is trying out.

And, true to his goal, the spell draws the wolf-like summons mindlessly towards him. They are helpless against his spell due to being summoned beasts to begin with, which are almost literally created to be slaves to stronger beings, and the brutally simple focus of the spell; to make the user himself a target of instinctive animosity.

Daniel's world studied everything, from how the mind works, to how the physical matter of the universe interacts with other matter, and even going as far as to speculate on the possibilities of 'fictional' ideas such as magic in ways Daniel claims to have only dreamed of at one time.

Now, he suggests things almost recklessly in hopes that his companions can figure it out.

And, when the summoned beasts of another rather-skilled mage suddenly abandon all pretense of attacking the convoy or its guards in order to charge straight for the blue dragon with wanton abandon, Magnir comes to respect his Liege Lord even more than he already did.

Daniel defeated the dragons with a combination of another world's technology and strategies combined with the basic element of surprise. Since the higher dragons were slain helplessly, lesser dragons like Magnir were lucky to even come out of the aftermath with their lives. Some were revived by the Emperor's strange mercy for the dragons, supposedly at Vaergraes' request, but Magnir has come to know that the otherworlder Emperor has a great deal of uncontrollable empathy that battles with his own survival instincts at times.

From that all-but-obvious weakness, Magnir was made one of the most powerful and prestigious knights in the world, even being among the weakest a dragon can possibly be while being considered a 'dragon'. Ryuogriar even unilaterally changed the definition of 'Dragon' such that it is a title to be earned, rather than a basic species definition that includes the magically-weak lesser dragons like Magnir and Roeta.

The point of that being the fact that Magnir is thankful and proud to be a Jomsviking and Einherjar of the Fievegal, titles bestowed by a strange otherworlder Emperor who stops at nothing to make his warriors stronger.

Once the beasts close in on Magnir, mindlessly charging towards him with no ability to resist his magical spell due to their simple minds and individually weak magic, the blue dragon takes a deep breath. He's in his human form for the purposes of the mission, and he lacks the mana to change between his true form and human form more than once per day.

That said, he is still a dragon, even if his form is small and his apparent size restricted.

Magnir breathes a powerful jet of fire as he spins, creating a ring of immolation around him that engulfs the summoned beasts in vast numbers, wiping out dozens of them in seconds. The Stalvaltan Guards defending the convoy, and more specifically the Grand Duchess, cheer at the sudden and massive clearing of enemies by the second Jomsviking of the Fievegal.
