My Wife and I Became Sages in Another World

As we kept climbing the rocky wall on the most rainy and windy day of our lives, I could feel the air in the atmosphere getting denser, making it harder to breathe.

We were pretty high up, so it was natural to lose a bit of oxygen, but this felt quite strong and sudden, and it only made our climb even harder.

I didn’t know how, but the Storm Dragon had a spell that made it impossible to use magic in that area, which also didn’t allow me to cast a wind spell to let me breathe.

I looked down for a moment to look at Melina and Vespera, who were following right behind me, using the same holds I used as they knew they were safe.

Still, Melina seemed a bit flustered by the lack of air, and even Vespera looked like she was struggling with the climb. Nonetheless, we had to keep going, as going down would be just as hard as going up at that point.

After an hour, we were a little bit over halfway there, and I started feeling hopeful about reaching the top and resting my fingers. But that didn’t last, as after that point, the enchantment that kept us warm turned off.

*brrrrr* I shivered, keeping a firm grip on the rocky holds.

None of our magic had worked since we started the climb, so I wondered how our enchantment had managed to last that long. Still, if we had known it was going to disappear in the middle of the climb, we would have asked Vespera to make jackets for us from the beginning.

’I’ll try going a bit faster...’ I thought.
