Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Waltz, with the cooperation of Alfania, decided to verify the effectiveness of the Enchant. Previously, I had assumed that "Enchant" would work in any condition if I just hung it, so I decided to make sure that the perception was correct.

There was no doubt that the effect of Enchant was effective against those equipped with artifacts (equipment with Enchant hanging). However, until now, it has not been confirmed whether it is effective until a single product is worn in the condition that it is not worn.

… so it is an experiment. Waltz's hand, which stood in front of the frame of a giant battleship, was gripped by two iron bars of exactly the same dimensions, including a trace amount of Orihalcon, hung on one side by an enchant of reinforcement, not on the other. This means applying force to see if the strength of the iron rod of the person who hung the enchant is increasing. It should be noted that it was Alfania that applied the enchant.

But from before the experiment, Waltz's expression was harsh.

"This is so hard..."

"Hmm? I haven't said anything yet, but what's so hard about it?

"Set the terms. Depending on how you look at the intensity, it might not make sense to experiment, right?

"Hmm, that's right. How about we drop some heavy stuff from the top and see if it bends?

"Still good, but what I'm concerned about is the story of that previous phase. If that" heavy object "had magic, it wouldn't be an experiment, would it? A hanging enchant may use the magic of a dropped object to reinforce the material..."

"But when you begin to say it, can you say that the iron stick also carries the magic of mana and eagle because it has just been enchanted? If I think about it, I don't think the experiment makes any sense..."

"Well...... There's no such thing as an energy drain that completely takes away the target's magic."

Waltz came up with a magical name that was common in such a fantasy world.

The response of the opposing Alfania is --,

"Energy Drain... Oh, that dark magic that has no existential significance at all"

—— Affirmed as Waltz expected. In this other world, too, magic seemed to exist that sucked away magic. It's just that, in itself, Alfania's reaction seemed very different from Waltz's expectations.

"No existential significance? What do you mean?"

"When it comes to sucking magic out of a subject, you need more magic than sucking it out. From the side we use, let's say magic that means nothing?

"That certainly doesn't make any sense... From the other side, maybe it's troublesome because there's no doubt that magic will be sucked away, but from the edge, it's like a root comparison, right?

"All that or if an operator using an energy drain sucks, it can be a real downfall situation where the absorbed magic is smaller than the sum of the magic consumed and the magic absorbed. Then I'm not talking about root comparison. Only you lose money. Besides, because we all know about it, we underestimate something called energy drain... and there must be few people who can use it well."

"... increasingly pointless magic..."

Waltz laughed bitterly like a shudder then...... I went on to ask questions to Alfania.

"So, no one can use that energy drain?

"... I can't even use the eagle"

"Weird rhetoric, huh?

"... it's bad shit"

"I see..."

Waltz strikes convincingly at why Alfania was strangely familiar with the energy drain.

Opposite Alfania, uh, sighed deeply, and then said this with her gaze at the iron bars Waltz was holding.

"I'll take care of the rest of the magic. So, how are you going to find out the intensity? You're gonna go that way by dropping things from the top? Let me tell you something... if it's a bad hit, it's not a comparison, is it?

"Hmm, well, there I am..."

…………

"... I'm going to manipulate gravity and bend it in a way?

"Manipulating gravity... gravitational magic that it was lost in ancient times"

"(Ancient than now... how long ago...)"

"But if you do that, won't the magic you pulled out because of it dwell again?

"No? That's why my gravity control system isn't magical, so it's perfectly fine."

"What? Not magic... not...?

"You don't have to worry about that there, do you? It's a fine thing anyway..."

That being said, Waltz put the iron rod gently on the ground on the spot and took a few steps back. Then Alfania seemed to see Waltz's behavior as a sign of willingness not to answer her own questions... She goes no further than that, without asking about the gravity control system--,

"So, let's go?

He began his energy drain with his hands on the iron bars.
