Chapter 25

My daughter is on the right path

Aldo and his companions continued to follow the path through the dungeon. They soon reached the point where Aldo and Clara had previously ventured.

Blocking their way were rock spirits and slime-like ghosts that were resistant to physical attacks. It seemed impossible to proceed without defeating these spirits.

โ€œIris, why donโ€™t you use some magic to take care of them?โ€ Clara encouraged Iris, placing her hands on the girlโ€™s shoulders from behind.

โ€œOkayโ€ฆ here goes,โ€ Iris replied.

Iris focused, sensing the mana around her and circulating it throughout her body. She prepared to cast a spell and then unleashed itโ€”!

โ€œCyclone!โ€

The magic Iris unleashed tore through the rock spirits and slimes, shattering them into pieces. The rocks were chipped away, and the slime-like spirits scattered and vanished.

Even after the spirits were destroyed, Irisโ€™s magic continued to rage, gradually weakening before finally subsiding.

The sheer power of the spell left both Aldo and Clara gaping in astonishment.

โ€œWas that okay?โ€ Iris asked.

Previously, Clara would weaken the spirits with magic, and Aldo would deliver the finishing blow. But now, Iris had single-handedly wiped them out with her overwhelming power. Her strength was far beyond what ordinary spirits could handle.

โ€œThat was amazing, Iris!โ€ Aldo exclaimed, ruffling Irisโ€™s hair. Iris beamed, her eyes narrowing with joy as her lips curled into a wide smile.

โ€œHehe, was it really that great?โ€

Just moments ago, Iris had been downcast because she couldnโ€™t heal Aldo. But now, she had completely bounced back, her face radiant with happiness.

As the father and daughter celebrated, Clara clenched her fist. Irisโ€™s magic was on an entirely different level. Although Clara wasnโ€™t specialized in magic, it was still unbelievable that Iris had surpassed her in just a few days.

She had never encountered a child with such immense magical talent. It was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

If Iris used her powers for good, the world could benefit greatly. But if she strayed down the wrong path, Clara wondered if there would be any way to stop her.

โ€œAlright, today Iโ€™ll make whatever you want, Iris! What do you feel like eating?โ€

โ€œHmmโ€ฆ hamburgers!โ€

Claraโ€™s worries quickly dissipated. There was no way such a pure-hearted girl, who adored her father, would ever go down the wrong path. Seeing this heartwarming scene, Clara felt reassured.

โ€œHey, you two. We should collect the fragments of the spirits we defeated. Itโ€™d be a waste to leave them behind.โ€

โ€œOh, right. Iris, letโ€™s see who can gather the most!โ€

โ€œOkay!โ€

Clara never expected to witness such a heartwarming family moment in a dungeon. She had thought dungeons were all about tension and stress, but having a mood-maker like Iris around made the experience much more bearable.

In truth, delving into dungeons often took a greater toll on oneโ€™s mind than body. Battling spirits could drain oneโ€™s life, and the loneliness of exploring alone could be overwhelming. Companions werenโ€™t always trustworthy, and there was always the risk of betrayal or having resources stolen.

Iris was undoubtedly a valuable asset with her magical abilities. But more than that, she was an ideal companion who brought smiles to her teammates. Before entering the dungeon, Clara had been worried about Iris, but now she realized that if she wasnโ€™t careful, she might end up being the one Iris worried about.

Clara resolved to work harder so she wouldnโ€™t fall behind Iris.

With Irisโ€™s magic in top form, the party easily dispatched the spirits one after another. Now that their group had grown to three members, things became much easier, and Aldo and his companions finally reached the deepest part of the dungeon.

โ€œIris, be careful. This is the deepest part of the dungeon. That spirit is the strongest enemy here.โ€

Iris gulped as she saw the spirit before her. It was a blue-furred wolf spirit, towering in size, with a height not much different from Irisโ€™s.

This was the first time Iris had encountered a dungeon boss. She couldnโ€™t help but feel a little intimidated.

โ€œWe have to fight that?โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t worry. Iโ€™ll protect you,โ€ Aldo said, gripping his sword tightly. Clara also assumed a fighting stance, ready for battle.

โ€œIris, if we defeat that spirit, the dungeonโ€™s guardian spirit will be freed. Letโ€™s do our best for its sake!โ€

โ€œOkay!โ€

โ€œRooooar!โ€

The wolf howled, and a crackling sound echoed from nowhere. It was the sound of the air freezing. Ice began to form around the wolf, encasing it in an icy armor.

โ€œThatโ€™sโ€ฆ blue magic. Blizzard Wear. Itโ€™s a spell that enhances the user with an ice armor.โ€

โ€œBlue magicโ€ฆ Can you use it, Clara?โ€

โ€œI havenโ€™t mastered it yet.โ€

Blizzard Wear was one of the red magic attributes. It could be countered with fire-based attacks. However, the only one with an affinity for red magic was Iris, who hadnโ€™t yet learned any red magic spells. After all, she hadnโ€™t met anyone who could teach her.

โ€œGrrโ€ฆ huโ€ฆ humansโ€ฆ?โ€

The wolf spirit spoke, its words broken and halting.

โ€œWait, spirits can talk?โ€ Iris exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise. Neither Aldo nor Iris had ever encountered a spirit capable of speech before.

โ€œThatโ€™s right. Lower-level spirits canโ€™t speak, but spirits and ghosts are fundamentally the sameโ€”both are spiritual entities. Just as spirits can speak, higher-level ghosts can too. But this one seems to only speak in fragments,โ€ Clara explained.

โ€œI see. Youโ€™re really knowledgeable, Clara. So, if it can only speak in fragments, does that mean itโ€™s stronger than lower-level spirits but not overwhelmingly powerful?โ€

โ€œExactly. You catch on quick. Itโ€™s probably a mid-level spirit.โ€

โ€œHumansโ€ฆ die!โ€

The spirit lunged at them, baring its hostility. Aldo raised his sword to block the spiritโ€™s biting attack.

A metallic clang rang out as the spiritโ€™s icy aura seeped into Aldo, sending a chill through him.

โ€œAldo, be careful. If you stay too close, the cold will damage you,โ€ Clara warned.

Hearing this, Iris realized Aldo was in danger. She quickly cast a spellโ€”!

โ€œWind!โ€

Iris unleashed a wind spell. A stronger cyclone might have risked catching Aldo in its vortex, so she opted for a milder wind spell. Still, it was powerful enough to blow the spirit away, creating distance between it and Aldo.

โ€œThanks, Iris. You saved me.โ€

โ€œHehe, you can rely on me more, you know!โ€

Iris puffed out her chest proudly. The spirit landed on all fours, slightly off-balance but quickly regaining its footing.

โ€œHumansโ€ฆ die! Spirit magicโ€ฆ Garou!โ€

The spirit chanted a spell, summoning a pale blue wolf-shaped spirit that shot toward Iris.

โ€œIris!โ€

Aldo instantly sensed the danger to his daughter and unleashed the power of his Swift Blade. Moving at incredible speed, he positioned himself in front of Iris, taking the brunt of the spiritโ€™s attack.

โ€œUghโ€ฆโ€

The Garou spell struck Aldo in the abdomen. He staggered slightly but managed to steady himself, though the pain was evident as he breathed heavily.

โ€œHaahโ€ฆ haahโ€ฆโ€

โ€œDad! Are you okay?โ€

โ€œYeah. Are you okay, Iris?โ€

โ€œIโ€™m fine.โ€

Aldo was more concerned about Iris than himself.

Clara rushed to Aldoโ€™s side.

โ€œApat!โ€

She cast a healing spell to mend the spiritual damage Aldo had sustained. It was a type of spirit magic that Iris couldnโ€™t use, and it gradually healed Aldoโ€™s wounds.

โ€œThanks, Clara.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re amazing, Dad! Sacrificing yourself to protect your daughter is so noble!โ€

Despite being in the middle of a battle, Irisโ€™s expression darkened. She couldnโ€™t use the same healing magic as Clara, even though it was something anyone should be able to do. If only she could, she would have been able to heal Aldo herself.

Iris felt frustrated and helpless, knowing that Aldo had been hurt because of her, and she couldnโ€™t do anything to help him.
