Chapter 2: Difference Between Strong And Weak Magic


"Hey Lina, tell me more about the giants." Firia asked on the way to the nearest town to buy food.

"Well, the giants are really powerful in both magic and energy, maybe even only a gigaslave can kill 1 to 3. That's why we need to find help or find the clair bible."

Firia trembled and said:" Wow, that's means we are in great danger, it would be hard to find the clair bible because it might have been sent into another dimension to hide it and almost impossible to find anyone on earth whose power is greater then the giants."

"Yup, that's why I want to find more people who know magic to help out. Hey Shimergirl, do you know magic?"

Shimergirl replied: "Me? well, no. well, not oh.... Well, it is like this... ummmm"

"Nevermind, we can teach you some magic now, there is good place in the forest. Lets go."

"Okay." Shimergirl said nervously.

"First, try to gather all your energy into your hands.." Shimergirl did so.

"Okay, then think of a flaming arrow and say "flare arrow" really loud!"

"umm...flare arrow?" a small speck of fire appeared on Shimergirl's hand.

"Err, good try! Now lets try that again! Just concentrate more, now say flar.. what???" Suddenly, 3 giants appeared in front of the gang.

Amelia jumped up and shouted: "In the name of justice, I will destroy you!! Fireball!!" The red hot fireball flew to one of the giants chest, but was destroyed by a shield.

The biggest giant said: "Ha, you think your weak magic can harm me? You are wrong!" A large ball of white magic gathered in his hands. The giant laughs and throws the ball of magic at the gang. All of them except Shimergirl who jumped out if the way was paralyzed. Shimergirl turned around to help them but was stopped by the giant's voice. "Oh little girl, you avoided my magic, but I guess you don't know magic.. why don't I finish you off now?"

Firia watched the whole scene terribly shouted to Lina: "No! Where is that raw garbage? Ohh, Shimergirl will die! Lina!! Help her!!"

"I am trying my best to break the spell, but it just does not work! Oh my god, Shimergirl, get out of here!!"

"Okk.... Just move back, orrr.. I ... will use flare arrow... "

"Haha, you think flare arrow can hurt me? I will kill you now!!"

"I .. war..warned you.. already. FLAREARROW!!!" A very big arrow flashing with red hot flames appeared in Shimergirl's hand. She threw it lightly at one giant and he disappeared with a cry into thin air.

The other giants looked at Shimergirl in fear: "OHHH, you are you are......" and they disappeared. The spell broke and the gang rushed to Shimergirl who was still shocked.

"Shimergirl,how do you do that? Lina only taught you a few minutes ago..."

Clap Clap

Everyone looked up and saw Xel in a tree clapping. "Very good Shimergirl. Your power is really good. I guess you know I know your secret."

"Yes Xelloss, you know. Get down." Shimergirl said to Xel tiredly .

"Lina, what secret? Don't hit me this time." Gourry asked Lina.

"Even I don't know, what's the secret Xel?"

"Ahh Lina, I thought you could guess that,umm. Shimergirl, what's wrong?" Shimergirl suddenly fainted in exhaustion and fell onto the ground.

"Well raw garbage what's the secret?"

"Ah, that is a secret."

"Fireball!"

"Okey Lina. You don't have to do that." A slightly roasted Xel sits down on the grass and begins talking: "I guess you know who the Shimer people are."

Gourry looked confused and asked: "Umm, who are the Shimer people?"

BONK

"Ouch."

"Lina, I also don't know who the Shimer people are. Actually, I heard of them somewhere.." Lina looked serious and started: "The Shimer people are the most powerful people in the whole universe. They live in a world beyond our imagination. Not much is known about them. The ancient books say that humans have in seen a few Shimers and they were of the lowest ranks. Old sorcerer said that a friendly Shimer told them something about themselves. There are 4 ranks of power. The lowest ranks of Shimer people don't have wings . The second ranks has 1 pair of wings. The third ranks has 2 pair of wings. And the last ranks is the most powerful rank, the Shimer Queen. She has 3 pair of wings. Of course, there is only Shimer who has 3 pairs of wings. I heard that they have 3 kinds of forms. One is a holy, one is a evil one and one is a human, and they have a sort of jewel on their chest, under the neck. It is the main power source.That's all we know, but there is one fact we know. Even the lowest ranks can kill can easily avoid the gigaslave and destroy the world. But this information is only based on our world, not other worlds." Everyone stared at Lina shock stricken.

At last, Zel broke the silence and asked: "Then, that's means that Shimergirl is .."

"Yes, Zel that's means that Shimergirl is shimer."

Zel looked at Xel angrily: "I did not ask you."

"Wow, Shimergirl is actually a shimer person. Lina, Firia, what do you think?" Lina still sat there looking shocked.

But Firia jumped up and shouted: "It is the most greatest thing that's has happened to me! Me. Meeting a shimer. Wow! I can't let those raw garbage get at her first, or they might use her to destroy the world."

Xel tried to smile but ended up sneering. "Who are you calling raw garbage? Only raw garbage call each other that name." And again, Fria and Xel started to yell at each other while everyone else tried to wake Shimergirl up.
