Apostle of the Gods
142 Sign Detection and Disappearance
I say to the illuminated Rubeum.
"Hey, can you actually show me the absorption?
"Fine. But gently. Kiru"
Leave it to me.
I fire a very weak magic bullet at Rubeum.
The moment I touched Rubeum's scale, the Magic Bullet disappeared.
"Oh, wow."
It's Migoto.
Dion and Dura are impressed.
In fact, it is a brilliant ability.
"It's just a weak magic bullet, so I can absorb it. Kiru"
"Even if it's weak, magic bullets are magic bullets. It's quite absorbable."
"Master is right. The magic of magic bullets is not comparable to the magic of exploration magic."
No matter how weak, Magic Bullets are attack magic aimed at destruction.
The amount of magic is incomparable with the non-destructive magic for exploration purposes.
"If you can absorb magic bullets, you won't get caught in the magic of exploration."
Kigu
"The church cardinals we couldn't find aren't absorbent, are they?
I see. There's no other way to absorb the boulder than the Rubeum. "
"So, you were matched by this magical waveform?
"I don't think so."
"Master, what do you mean?
I'll explain after I think about it.
The disciples who were there were non-magicians named Zenobia and Regina.
And then there are the intelligence officers of the Salvation Organization.
"It's a level of cover that doesn't get caught exploring the messiah."
it is a rather splendid cover-up
But I noticed the presence of the Cardinal after being taught by Rubeum.
This means that the Cardinal's ability to hide is not as great as that of Rubeum.
If Rubeum really hides, it's hard for me to notice.
"Rubeum. Do you have any tips for finding the one in hiding?
Kigu
Rubeum took it seriously for a while.
"When there's someone in hiding, it feels strange around me."
Hmm?
Rather than the main unit, the surroundings are distorted...
I wonder if it's a slight discrepancy that you wouldn't notice if you weren't conscious.
"I'm going to try to get rid of the signs, so close your eyes and explore."
"Please."
We all closed our eyes, and Rubeum vanished.
Then it feels like she's completely gone.
"Wow, Lou. It's so close, I might not even notice."
Kigu
Rubeum's voice came from nowhere.
Me and Milt begin a magical quest.
Everyone but the Rubeum was immediately located.
However, Rubeum does not get caught exploring magically.
"Excellent work. Looks like he's really gone."
Milt, don't look for Lu, try to find the discomfort.
"Are you uncomfortable?
That's right... Kyuruu "
I was told it was uncomfortable and I tried to explore it again.
I don't feel uncomfortable either.
Right, Master?
Me and Milt couldn't find it in the magic search.
But Regina snapped.
"I see. Feeling uncomfortable. Maybe you got it."
"Eh? You're kidding.
It's no wonder Milt is surprised. I was surprised, too.
Regina is not exploring magically.
It's not rude to lie.
"Because Regina didn't use magic, did she?
"That's right. But I can even explore the signs.
Maybe Regina can do that.
"Don't use that magic. It's fucked up."
"I lose to the magician when I get farther away, but I can't help it if I'm close!
I couldn't see Regina's expression because I kept my eyes closed.
But you don't have to look at her face.
"Regina, can you tell me how you feel?
I hope Master asked me to do it.
That said, Regina started explaining.
Where there are no signs. It seems to be the discomfort there.
It's subtly different where there's really nothing and where there's a rubeum.
"What's the difference?
"I don't know what to say... It's hard to feel the space."
Hmm?
Regina's explanation is really hard to understand.
If you dare say so, there is "nothing" where Rubeum is.
"I don't know."
"That's a tough thing to say."
Milt and Dion bend their necks.
But Zenobia says.
"I might have figured it out somehow."
"Zenobia, do you understand?
"Yes, Master. There's nothing there."
"... I see."
Regina and Zenobia, who don't use magic, noticed Rubeum first.
"Milt, Dion. Perhaps the wizard is more difficult to understand."
"Master, what do you mean? Let me know."
Listen to Milt's words and remember the old days.
When I was a kid, Milt used to say this and ask me to teach him.
"We tend to rely too much on magic."
"So, what do Regina and the others rely on?"
"Senses... well, more like pure magic."
Magic?
I can hear Dion from quite a high position.
And we used our magic to concentrate on exploring the signs of the Rubeum.
