Legend

Now, let's start experimenting with the magic items of the barrier.

Dusker declares that, and an alchemist comes forward.

... the alchemists did their magic experiments in that order, but in the end the lottery set the order firmly.

As for the alchemists, it seems that it is easier to leave an impression if your magic items are successful first.

If someone succeeds after they have succeeded, they will lose out in the standout state.

Completing it early and being here is an advantage for us compared to other Alchemists who haven't been able to complete their magic items by today.

I know that, but the others here will be rivals.

That's why the alchemists insisted that they wanted to try it first.

At first, it was decided in a calm discussion, but the discussion developed into a controversy due to the intense discussion, and eventually became a lottery.

Well then, let's do it. … Ray, if I give you the signal, I want you to disarm the hell out of me.

"All right."

When Ray replied, the man moved to the bottom of the hellfire.

In addition, there was still a black circle in the flame prison... and it was still bumping into the flame prison, but the alchemist didn't seem to care.

Not only that, but the alchemist didn't seem particularly concerned about the instinctive disgust of those who saw it.

Ray doubts that, but perhaps he's more conscious of whether or not he can properly use the magic items he made than he is of his disgust for being a fool.

I didn't know if that was actually the right thing to do.

The Alchemist man moves to the bottom of the fire pit and places a square box there.

If I made any adjustments, I would be far enough away from the hellfire.

"Just a little more... just a little more... now!"

Following his words, Ray lifted the Fire Prison.

Then, the black circle that was trying to hit the flame prison suddenly disappeared, and the moment it tried to move from the place where the flame prison was, the box that was on the ground glowed and wrapped around the black circle.

Oh!

The voice of surprise rises from the mouths of those who watched it.

Although the alchemist was sometimes confident and thought he might succeed, he could only be surprised at the scene of his actual success.

Alright!

Among them, the person who tried the magic items is particularly applauding.

This is how you responded to Dusker's call, so you must have been confident in your magic items.

However, I made a magic item for the barrier without actually seeing it.

Can the magic item be used to hunt down stragglers?

Until I tried it, I was definitely quite nervous.

However, the magic item triggered beautifully and locked the barrier inside.

As a creator of magic items, I couldn't be happier with it.

but....

"Ahh!"

One of the people watching it suddenly let out such a voice.

Strangely... it was really strange that even though the voice was not so loud, it could be heard firmly in the ears of all those present.

That was one of the researchers who was watching the situation.

The researcher points in a certain direction without understanding that he is collecting the gaze of the surroundings.

A cage of light covering a black sphere.

It was there that the razor bumped, but at first it was preventing the razor from coming into contact with the body, but gradually... gradually, the cage of light became black dust and began to be absorbed by the black circle.

"Huh? Why is that...?"

The alchemist who made the magic item murmured that he could not believe the sight in front of him.

This is the first time I have seen a tadpole, but I have heard a lot from Dusker about the nature and behavior of the tadpole.

It's a magic item that was made with that information in mind.

That's why I thought it would succeed.

I was so confident.

When I started talking about who I was going to try with my magic items, I thought I was the first... and the last with my magic items.

But now, the confidence of such an alchemist is about to shatter like a cage of light.

Dusker-sama?

Without worrying about the Alchemist's appearance, Ray turns his attention to Dusker.

I wondered if I should strike my hand before the light cage was destroyed, and I acted to confirm it.

"Wait a little longer."

"... is that okay?" if it keeps up like this.... "

“It doesn't matter, maybe it's dangerous now, but we can manage.”

That's only a possibility, but from Ray's point of view, it didn't seem like such a result was likely.

The person who created the magic item has a desperate look on his face.

In the meantime, I'll be ready.

Just as the cage of light can be completely destroyed at any moment, Ray removes his magic activator, Death Size, from the Misty Ring.

Then, as if that were the timing, a part of the cage of light becomes completely black dust and is absorbed by the black circular sphere, and the black circular sphere tries to emerge from the empty gap.

As soon as he saw it, Ray began to cast a spell on Death Size.

"Fire, respond to my thoughts." Thou shalt make a wall, a wall through which no one shall pass, a wall which shall exist on all sides and above and below. And the wall shall be a flame, and not a flame. It's not a flame of destruction, it's a flame that makes you feel warm even when you touch it. As long as my magic power exists, the wall of fire won't disappear...... the wall of hellfire. ”

Magic is activated, and a flame prison is created by putting a cage of light inside, and the black sphere is successfully captured again.

Oh, yeah.

A big breath of relief is exhaled from the mouths of those who were watching the current series of actions.

Because Ray was there, I thought it was okay for the black sphere to destroy the cage of light.

Even though I thought it, I feel anxious, surprised, or threatened when I actually find myself in a dangerous situation like this in front of my eyes.

"... no..."

A confident alchemist man was shocked that his magic items were easily absorbed into black dust by a black sphere.

Ray felt sorry for such a man, but for now, when he approached Flame Prison, he grabbed the box underneath and gave it to the alchemist.

"Here you go."

"Ah, ahh.... why..."

The alchemist's mouth once again leaked out such a voice from the box he received.

With such a sense of consolation, Ray opens his mouth.

"It didn't work for me, but I still think that the magic item of the barrier was not bad." This time, it's just that the opponent was wrong, so don't be too careful....... if you don't want that magic item, I can buy it, but what should I do? "

I don't suppose that was an encouragement, but I suppose that's what it was meant to be.

In Ray's case, the magic items that create the light barrier are by no means bad.

This time, the target was a black circular sphere, so the barrier was absorbed as black dust, but that was only because the target was a black circular sphere, that is, it was crawling.

Ray thought it would be effective enough to deal with ordinary monsters.

"No, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to sell this. It's a magic item that didn't perform as well as it should. I'm not convinced as an alchemist to sell it."

"I see.... well, if that's the case, I can't help it." If you think it's okay to sell it, call me.... now, let's do it next. Who is it? "

Ask Ray, one of the alchemists comes forward with a serious expression.

Before I saw the first magic item, the Cage of Light, destroyed, I thought my magic item would be fine.

However, after seeing the cage of light absorbed as black dust, I thought my magic items might not work.

That said, you can't afford not to try your own magic items in this situation.

"I'll do it. It's my turn."

I took a deep breath, regulated my breath, and then headed under the fire.

Unlike in the cage of light, it's like a round ball.

However, it seemed to be made of some kind of metal, reflecting the sun's light and shining.

That's good.

Coming to a faraway place, the alchemist turned to Ray with a serious expression.

And a hell of a flame that will be lifted.

The black circle tried to move freely as the hell of fire disappeared again....

It's active!

That word along with the magic item triggers.

"Is this... the wind?"

Ray murmured with unexpected surprise.

Yes, it was the wind that produced it from the metal sphere.

Unlike the cage of light, I tried to seal the movement of the cage by the wind.

(I see, this could be something.)

Ray admired her for not saying a word.

Instead of trapping them directly, the idea of holding them in one place by the wind was transformed.

It is subtle whether this can be described as a magic item of the barrier, but it has a good effect in the sense that it does not move the black circle.

If the cage of light just now can be used as a magic item for the barrier, this wind magic item can be said to be a magic item specializing in the barrier.

Oh, oh, oh

Since the restraint time was longer than the time of the light wall earlier, the exclamation rose from the mouths of those who were looking at it.

The Alchemist who made the Light Wall Magic Item also turns his gaze to his rival who made a better Magic Item.

I was depressed that my magic items didn't work on the black sphere, but I think your observation was preferred when I saw the magic items made by my rivals.

Then a little time passed.....

"Well, um... how long are you going to do this?"

The alchemist who made the magic items for the Wind Cage asks Ray so.

Somewhere horrified, it looked as if there was something backward.

Ray answered immediately to such an alchemist.

"For a long, long time?" Specifically, it's like waiting for the black sphere inside to die. "

"Wait, I can't do anything about it!" My barrier doesn't hold up that much! "

The alchemist panicked at Ray's words.

In such a state, the people around me... especially the other alchemists turned their attention to what was going on.

You must have noticed that such a gaze was directed.

The screaming alchemist hurriedly uttered his words.

Well, my magic items are moving with magic stones.

No, it's not that weird if it's a magic item, is it?

Some people use their magic powers to move magic items like Ray, but there are many people in the world who don't have magic powers in the first place.

When it comes to how such people move magic items, it's a magic stone.

Among the Magic Stones sold by Adventurers to their guilds, Magic Stones of lower rank monsters are used as an energy source to move common magic items in their hands.

So why are you doing this now?

The alchemist finally let out a big breath before opening his mouth to Ray, who was looking at the question.

"In fact, in order to strengthen the power of the wind, the magic stone drained much faster than usual." If you want to use it continuously, it is necessary for those with magic power to regularly replenish their magic power or change magic stones frequently. "

In other words, the fuel efficiency is poor.

Ray was convinced by the Alchemist's explanation.

At this time, Ray was thinking about the cars he saw on TV when he was in Japan... it's not about fuel efficiency like a light vehicle, it's called luxury cars and sports cars.

The driver's car overlooked fuel efficiency... It may be a bit of a big deal, but compared to light vehicles, it was overwhelmingly worse than fuel efficiency on some TV shows.

Specifically, how much fuel efficiency is poor, Ray could not really feel it because he was still a high school student and did not have a car license, but since the father who was watching TV with him was about to blow out the beer he was drinking at dinner, it was definitely the last thing.

"Isn't that... a bit sloppy?"

One of the alchemists said so, but the alchemist who made the magic item of the wind barrier didn't care and shook his head to the side.

"There are many people who can put more magic power into magic items than they can use here." Then I don't think that's a problem? "

It was a fact, and the disgruntled alchemist could not say anything.
