Alchemist Yuki's Strategy

Episode 16: Breaking Through

Once inside the tower, it was first the hall.

Magic formations are painted all over the tower floor, and the walls amazingly depict literature on one side. This is also a kind of magic letter.

There is a long spiral staircase along its walls, which leads to the upper hierarchy.

Talking about tier, all five tiers to the junction, above that unknown.

"All right, let's go! Yuki!"

"Kind of."

"Hmm?"

Hold down the tier trying to rush up and observe the perimeter carefully.

I felt uncomfortable with the magic flow, two streams going up and three streams going down one total.

What are the two streams going up if the stream going down is to connect the cemetery and the city?

If you look at its magic in more detail, one is rough and the other is under control.

"Hmm..."

Constant bonding will require considerable magic.

The Wang Dynasty had supplied its magic from creatures in the Wang Dynasty, but there are no creatures in this site.

I've read a lot of old books, but there are two things I can think of.

You think a weapon made long ago had an aerial fortress that kept sealing the high spirits and seizing power, fuelling it and flying?

The possibility that we are using that technology to supply magic from the Spirit.

And this is our destiny.

The world is strewn with vast paths of magic, like blood vessels, which are commonly called ground veins or dragon veins.

The possibility that you are sucking up magic from that pulse.

... Well, it would be the latter.

In other words, as rough streams are sucking up magic from the earth's veins, aren't controlled streams stretching the boundaries above?

If so, it is underground that we should proceed.

"Tia, what's the entrance to the basement?

"Hmm? Was there an underground here?"

… keep observing further, the focus is on the magic formation of the floor.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about magic formations, magic letters, magic marks, either. I read a little bit.

Still, due to the quality of magic, I somehow understood what I wanted to do.

cover-up, cognitive inhibition, illusion, attraction of awareness to stairs

"............... is that it?

The way ahead is behind the stairs.

Only there are rugged walls with stone colors stripped out.

I tried to touch the wall to make sure.

"Oops."

"Mmm."

- It slipped through.

Apparently, you were right.

At the end of the fake wall is a staircase leading to the basement, illuminated by the pale light of the lightstone.

"I'm coming, Tia, Uluru"

"Uhm! You're a boulder Yuki!

"Wong!"

Something to unbind the top... I wish there was.

A long, dim staircase led us to a narrow corridor, beyond which a bright hall is visible.

It's a large, square space, with a big door in the back.

On the left and right walls there are many black metal statues with elephants and archers.

To the left and right of the entrance is a giant statue made of white metal.

And an iron lattice that is visible because (because of) decaying over the entrance and missing stones.

I guess I'll fall in and be trapped when I get in.

Worst of all, I can go back to death, but I can't tier, I should go here.

"Tier......"

"What's going on? Yuki."

Well, I was wondering, assuming I told Tia about this, would Tia honestly wait for me?

It seems common sense in this world that Marebito won't die, but Tia said she was just worried that I wouldn't be here overnight.

I don't think you're going to wait.

"My favor, will you listen to me?

"Huh!? Come on, I'm gonna ask you, say anything!

Upbeat and sweet voice, I'm good at saying this. I'm usually good at acting.

"Then meditate on your eyes and turn around."

"Okay! Here's the thing!

"Yeah, do that until you say it's good"

...... this will be ok.

As for complaining later, we should move on now.

"'Summon' Huge Poison Slime '' Summon 'Iron Golem' …"

I'll summon the vanguards in preparation for the battle, I've got half a day off, so it should be all set.

Of course, if a monster like a giant crab came out, it would be wiped out without being able to do anything.

Come on, what's coming out......
