Legend

"Ray, come here for a second!"

The day after the Duskers arrived, Ray was having breakfast with Set and Nielsen, and one of the adventurers suddenly came calling Ray's name.

What's the matter?

"Just come here for a minute!" The black sphere locked up in yesterday's magic item looks strange! "

"... ha? Isn't that a little early?"

The black circular sphere...... No, even though there are individual differences in the time it takes to starve to death, it's still early enough.

But why did that happen yesterday today?

That's weird.

"Isn't that right? That's why you have to come anyway." If something weird happens while we're watching..... "

From those words, Ray thinks that the adventurer man who came to call Ray was watching to see if anything unexpected happened at the Mithril barrier.

(No, it was us, so it wasn't just one guy, it was a couple of other guys.)

Anyway, there's no doubt that something happened.

Besides that, even Ray can't continue to imitate it like enjoying breakfast slowly.

"Okay, I'll be right there. Just a minute."

Saying that, I pushed the remaining sandwich into my mouth.

Just the sandwiches I bought at a store that had a reputation for deliciousness, Ray didn't want to eat this rough way.

That's why I wanted to taste it more thoroughly and eat it if I could, but given the current situation, I can't imitate it in such a long way.

With his mouth full of sandwiches, Ray is pulled by the man who calls him and headed to where the Mithrill barrier is.

Nevertheless, it was in the same camp.

We'll arrive at our destination soon enough, but I'm sure they heard us there.

Researchers from Eugenians sleeping in the camp were gathered.

(It would be nice if the black sphere really starved to death, but I don't know if the Mithrill barrier is still working well in the first place. What are you going to do if the Mithril barrier breaks and the black sphere goes out?)

Eugenes are just beyond the boundary of Mithril.

The expression "close together" is also by no means a mistake.

If the Mithril barrier suddenly dissolves in such a place, or if the black sphere escapes by any means, the researchers will not be able to avoid it.

The assistant on the researcher's side will be involved in it, and the escort will not be able to move much more than the density.

Isn't it suicidal?

Ray thought so, but since the situation was different from the previous prison of fire, Eugen and the others would not have missed this situation as researchers.

"Come on, get out of the way!" Ray's here! If you get in the way here, Ray will get rid of you! "

The adventurer man who was near the researchers screamed when he saw Ray.

Considering that the man who came to call us was talking to us, Ray could understand that it was the partner of the man who came to call us who was screaming.

"Hey, what about that?"

Seeing that the researchers had cleared the way when they heard Ray came, Ray bursts into it.

It's not bad for Ray in that it's not a hassle.

However, when Ray was said to have arrived and immediately cleared the way, Ray felt a subtle mood.

"Come on, that's how they cleared the way." Then let's get out of here. If anything happens, I may not be able to deal with it without Ray. "

The man who came to call Ray pulls Ray as he says so.

Ray felt a subtle mood in the face of the opponent.

However, I didn't say anything dissatisfying about it, even though I knew what the man was saying.

Regardless, Ray arrived before the Mithril barrier without having to imitate the crowd.

Ray

Were you aware of Ray's presence or not?

Eugen called out to Ray, who was coming next to him.

"So, did you hear that the black sphere showed signs of starvation?"

"Oh, yes.... look." I don't know if it means starving to death, but it's starting to collapse. "

Ray turned his gaze to the barrier where his words were translucent.

Then, as Eugen said, his body collapsed into black dust... no, there was a black sphere whose expression collapse was appropriate.

"This is... strange indeed." Is it because it's a Mithril barrier? "

“I think so too. If you think of something else, it could have been a burden because we did a lot of experiments yesterday."

"Burden? Hmmm... that's a possibility, but I think the most likely reason is because of the Mithril barrier." So, what do we do? "

What should I do? "Eugen turned his gaze, but it was difficult to see him there.

If I tried Eugen, I'd like to see the black sphere die like this.

But at the same time, I don't know if the Mithrill barrier is really the reason for the status quo, so I'd like to check with you if I can.

Why is there only one black sphere in the barrier of Mithril?

Eugen muttered in a frustrated manner, but Ray opened his mouth with a difficult expression on his face.

"Originally, it was meant to make sure that the magic items in the barrier would work properly." If you think about the unlikely event, you know Eugen can't even try it in a prison of flames, where there are multiple flames, right? "

Hmmm...

I'm not satisfied, but I can't argue with Rei, who has no choice but to shut up.

If I am dissatisfied in this situation, I will understand that it is a shameful sight for me.

Or don't you want the others to see how things looked when there was an excuse?

Anyway, the reason for that was that it was first of all to think about how to deal with the black sphere at the boundary of Mithril in front of me.

“So what do we do?”

"I don't care what you say."... as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to leave it to die. If this really kills the black sphere, I'd like to disarm the other flame prisons and try the Mithril barrier again.... oh, but to make sure that the Mithril barrier is more effective at starving than the Inferno, we'll probably need to give her some food before she can use the Mithril barrier again to help her regain her vitality. "

"[]/(adv, adv-to, vs) (uk) (u

Those who were listening to Ray screamed.

It's good to try using the Mithril barrier.

However, to clarify the effect, I must have thought that I would use the Mithrill barrier... after I had deliberately fed the bait and cheered it up.

Anyone here knows the danger of death.

Fortunately, the opponent's movement is not so fast, and no one has yet died due to death.

If Ray did what he said, it wasn't definitely that either.

"Hey, are you serious!?"

The researcher's man next to Eugene hears Ray and asks in a hurry.

It wasn't Ray... but Eugen who responded to those words.

“Of course. To confirm the Mithril barrier experiment, it would be meaningless if we weren't in perfect condition.”

"No, but..."

I didn't think Eugen would say that, but the man who complained to Ray shut up without being able to argue.

“So, Ray, where are we going with this experiment?”

"First and foremost, there is a place where there is only one pigeon, like this one." I can't imitate you to get away with more than one slip. "

"When that happens... there aren't many candidates."

Near the camp, many of the flamingos have been captured.

There were very few flaming prisons where only one pigeon was captured.

"Worst case scenario, it would be a place with two cats."...... if you try Eugen, you might be happier that way. "

"I won't deny it.... now then... where was the one thing in the flame prison that still survived?"

"It's over there, isn't it? However, since it's not too late to die, I was wondering if we should hurry to release it."

The researcher who was close to Eugen's words...... another person who said that he was serious about Ray just now said that, pointing to the one with the birth tower.

"Oh, there it is." When that happens, I'll be there when I can see that this hammer is properly dead.... or do you want to lift the new experiment candidate's prison of fire, feed him and cheer him up before he dies here? "

"No, we better make sure he's dead before we do." This is the first time we have experimented with the Mithril barrier. Besides that, I want to make sure that I die of this before I try it. If something happens to me while I'm recovering from the flame prison, it's difficult to deal with it. "

Dragons are slow to move, so they lightly attack and attract. If the person they are attracting is tired, they will be attacked by another opponent, and the role of the dragon will change.

That is common as a countermeasure, but it did not necessarily mean that something unexpected happened.

(Although it is unlikely, the opponent is unwilling. It is better to be careful)

Thinking like that, Ray turned his attention to Mithril's barrier again.

While talking to researchers such as Eagen, the black sphere inside the boundary of Mithril's body collapses into black dust.

Compared to when Ray was already here, it was less than half the size.

Do you really think this is because of the Mithril barrier?

"I can't say anything more than just this one example." However, considering that it was obviously earlier than in the prison of fire, I don't think Ray's predictions were that wrong. "

Eugen has a complicated expression on his face.

Even though we did our research, there was no progress because we were still in an observation state, and even though the boundary of Mithril caused an unexpected development, there was a change.

Perhaps the Alchemist's magic items are more effective than their own, in the sense of advancing their own research.

It's not strange to think that way.

However, I never thought that we would give up our research with this.

"For the time being... yeah? Oh, the Gosh."

Ray tries to say something, but suddenly sees how many carriages are coming to the camp and mutters.

It was obvious to me who was on the carriage.

Still, I was a little surprised because the Gosh came earlier than usual compared to what Ray knew.

"I think he was curious about the magic item....... if that's what bothers you, the Gosh can sleep in this encampment too."

Perhaps it wasn't Ray's fault that Eugen seemed to be bragging a little.

I knew that I was doing the right thing, and that's why I noticed the unusual trickling of the Mithril barrier earlier.

When I tried Ray, I had the idea of how to compete in such a place.

When Ray showed her the half-daze, Gosh finally approached Ray with his assistant and escort.

There are many people around the Mithrill barrier, including Ray, and it's not hard to predict that anything could have happened to them.

The Gosh arrived at Ray's side to scratch the people around him.....

"What the hell is going on here?"

That's what they say as they look at the black sphere inside Mithril's barrier, half-collapsed.

"No matter what I'm told, I can only say what I see is true."

“As you can see? I know that, too. But this... I'm asking you why this is happening."

The effect of the Mithril barrier is all I can say.

Gosh screamed at Ray's words.

The Gosh could have predicted why this was happening.

Since there is nothing unusual about the barrier other than Mithril in the first place, it is not difficult to find the cause for it in the barrier of Mithril.

But I didn't instantly tell myself that the Mithrill barrier was the cause because I couldn't admit it as a Gosh... no, I didn't want to.

The reason for this is, of course, that because they are sleeping in the gilm, they were unable to see the abnormality due to the boundary of Mithril from the beginning.

While crushing his own remorse, Gosh looked firmly at the collapsing black sphere in the barrier of Mithril.
