Legend

"Wind hands, hey. You've got strange skills again."

Ray whines unintentionally at the announcement that was past the back of his brain. And I try to activate a skill that is said to be the hand of the wind all the more than the theory.

Then I can feel something like a single tentacle stretching from the death size as soon as possible.

Yes, I can feel it. It's not actually visible. Ray, who does not have the ability to feel the magic of others if it were meant to be, but he could feel something like a tentacle braided with the magic of the wind because it was a tentacle created using his own magic? Is it because I am going through Death Size again?

Anyway, I felt the presence of tentacles made of colorless, transparent wind.

"I think wind tentacles deserve a skill name rather than wind hands."

Move the tentacles that are stretching from the death size while tilting the neck and let them touch the tip of the tentacles to a dead tree about 30 cm in size falling to the ground.

Then at the next moment, the dead tree touched by its tentacles is lifted into the air by the wind to obey Ray's will.

"... I see. Well, given the effect, maybe the skill name" Hand of the Wind "isn't so strange."

That's it, and finally Ray understands the general performance of his skill called Wind Hands. In other words, the invisible tentacles made of wind are stretched out to touch the object. Then it is possible to interfere with the object touched by the wind. It was precisely the skill to be said even with the invisible hands made by the wind.

"But..."

Release and throw the stone that was falling nearby with the wind's hand accidentally extended. Then the stone comes into contact with the tentacled part of the wind's hand, but it slips through and flies to the other side without any resistance.

"I knew it. Only the tip part of the tentacle has a function as a hand, and the so-called arm part has no effect on the skill? And..."

Reaching out the wind hand as far as possible seemed to be the limit of about 100m and it was impossible to reach beyond that.

"Does the skill level increase the distance? No, it's just my sight to see if I can't make it out even if it's too stretched."

Put the hand of the wind that was stretching back to hand, and next reach for the falling stone.

"And the wind that can be manipulated at the tip of the wind hand is determined only by a certain amount, and because of LV.1, it is not possible to manipulate the wind that powerful. Well, it's powerful enough to lift a fist-big stone, so it's totally powerful... powerful? No, isn't power that important in this case? Combine Seto's skills…"

He groans and hurries to store the emerald wolf material and meat in front of him into the mistering, at the same time throwing a magically created fireball into the hole containing the kind of gut he has been treating and burning it up before filling it with dirt.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Are the other Emerald Wolves good? and Seto tilting his little neck.

"Oh. Now there's a little more to try than that. If you keep it inside the mysteries, the flow of time will stop, so I'll do it when I have time for Emerald Wolf for now. More than that, Seto, I've got a little something I'd like to try, so I'm gonna go somewhere a little wider."

It doesn't seem like the usual Ray, he crosses over to Seto's back in a hurry somewhere.

"Seto, for now it's a big place. Yeah, see what you can afford. Look for places like the meadow and the wasteland."

"Grrrr? Grr!

I tilted my neck a little, but I guess I soon understood what place Ray was looking for. Ring briefly and then wings after a few steps of help. And it was going as if it were going to kick in the sky, reaching a dozen meters high in just a few seconds.

If you reach that height and look around from the sky, it's a green carpet on one side that spreads. Even the meadows seemed to reflect and shine through the sun, thanks to the fact that the sun was pouring down enough to say autumn sunshine. At the same time, it is probably wild animals and monsters that are moving about a few places on the ground. Or the adventurers who are getting some kind of request. Ray could have guessed that he was on foot more than a day away from the city of Gilm, and that he was probably quite an armed adventurer.

Well, if you try Ceto, it's only about an hour away from the city of Gilm.

"If you think about it, I'm blessed with mobility and lightness of footwork."

"Gru?"

Seto turns his face toward Ray, even as he wings.

I'll stroke him around the neck with a grin on the look of it.

"No, it's nothing. I just want to say that Seto's here and he's always helping."

"Grrrrrr!"

Sounds delightful, enough to enjoy a walk in the sky as it is. Fortunately, there's nothing like being attacked by a flying monster, and we arrive safely in the wasteland on one side like Ray hoped.

"... yeah, it's good here. It's a great place to experiment."

Landing on the ground, Ray looks around and nods satisfactorily.

The surrounding area is precisely where it should also be described as a wasteland, with little meadows already present that until a short while ago had been extended to a full view. Did I tell you that I can finally see the meadow after walking back to a place about a few hours?

"First...... right, Seto. Now that I'm using magic, try to superimpose it on me and activate the tornado. And when your skills are activated, it's dangerous, so you're leaving."

"Gru!"

Hear Seto's reply and take the Death Size, which is also a magical activator, out of Mystering.

"O flame, manifest thy burning power as a vortex."

Following a spell, a condensed flame appears on the part of the Death Size pattern. Because it is still in the experimental stage, the magic itself is not that much. But that was an annotation that was limited to Ray, and for a normal wizard it included a degree of magic that could be called full force.

And the spell is complete, swinging the Death Size pattern down loud where the flames condense!

"Whirlpool Fire!

The condensed flame released with its spell lands about 10 m away, revealing itself as if it were a tornado made of flames. However, the scope of the flame is only in and around the tornado, and the effect range is a few meters or so.

(Will this still happen? but......)

He whines inside and turns his gaze toward Seto.

"Seto"

"Grrrrrr!"

Hear Ray's signal and activate the tornado by overlaying it with a tornado of flames, as you were told. At first glance, Seto and Ray run backwards to distance themselves and observe what their skills will turn out to be.

Flaming tornadoes and wind tornadoes. The two combined… but the next moment they ate up the tornado as if the flames were going to burn out the wind.

"... no way"

"Gru."

I'm sorry, it was Ceto coming down his head, but Ray scratches that head tight without looking particularly concerned.

"Never mind. If it worked, it would have been profitable. If Seto's tornado got to a higher level, it might have gone as well as I expected, but I can't help it now."

(As far as I can tell, the wind did not mix well with the flame, so the wind appeared to have been unilaterally eroded by the flame. In other words, if you manage to mix it well that it will be unilaterally eroded...)

Ray whining inside. What Ray is trying to recreate is a phenomenon called 'Fire Whirlwind'. Local upward airflow occurs when a flame occurs at a specific location consumes air and takes in ambient air. And then we get on that rising airflow, and as a result, a tornado of flames called Fire Whirlwind is formed. The temperature of the wind with flames caused by the fire whirlwind reaches 1000°C, and the inside of the fire whirlwind is a local disaster that reaches hundreds of meters per second. I tried to see if I could reproduce the phenomenon in Tornado, the magic and ceto skills Ray uses, but the result was that the wind was eroded by the flames, as Ray saw it.

(To recreate a fire whirlwind, you can't just do my flaming magic. That's why I thought it would be possible to use it at the same time as Ceto's tornado... well, fine. There are still things to try)

"Seto, it's one more time. But next time, I'm going to use the wind hand I just got from Death Size. I think this will increase your chances of success, so if you use your skills again, I'll take the distance."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto nodding at Ray's voice. Seeing it, I put a spell in my mouth with magic again.

"O flame, manifest thy burning power as a vortex."

Then wield the death size and fly forward the solidification of the flames that were gathering in the pattern.

"Whirlpool Fire!

Flaming tornado that reappears. Grasp the death size tightly as you watch it and signal to Seto.

"Seto!"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

At the same time as raising Seto's roar, he presents himself so that the tornado of the wind overlaps the tornado of flames. Ray and Seto, who confirm that and then take a similar distance earlier. And grab the death size and activate the wind hand.

Tentacles braided by the magic of the wind grow from the death size. The other way is naturally where the tornadoes of flames and winds overlap. After all, the flames created by Ray's magic seem to be more powerful, gradually eroding into a tornado of wind. And the moment I thought it would be two dances earlier... the tip of the tentacles braided by the magic of the wind succeeds in coming into contact with its flames and winds, the two tornadoes.

"Huh!?

At that moment in contact, Ray pours tentacle-shaped wind magic through the Death Size into a wind tornado near to being eroded and exhausted by flames. Then gradually, though not gradually, the tornado of the wind expanded its scale by pushing back the erosion of the tornado of the flames… A few seconds later, two tornadoes of the same size, the flames and the wind, were present there as if they were overlapping.

And there were two separate tornadoes that remained superimposed for a few seconds as they were, the next moment a wind tornado with flames merging those two. That is, the fire whirlwind that was about to reproduce Ray shows up. At the same time.

"Gu!"

"Grr!"

Immediately after the two tornadoes become one and turn into a fire whirlwind, a strong hot air pounds under the ray and ceto, which should have been 100 m away. Ray takes an even bigger distance with Seto on the ray. As far as 500 meters away, the ambient temperature finally drops to the point where it feels somewhat hot.

"... you were looking a little sweet. But can this be used quite well as a wide area destruction? Is it just too much trouble?"

Ray's own magic of flames. Tornado of Ceto. And Death Size Wind Hands. You should take the three steps and think that if it takes some time for a flame and wind tornado to merge, you won't be able to use it first like the crusade requests you receive on a regular request. If you take a distance while the tornado is following the procedure of fusion, it will take some damage, but I guess a deadly blow will be avoided.

"On the contrary, can it do damage effectively to dull or giant monsters?"

I whine softly at the end as I watch the still burning fire whirlwind with Seto.

"An army of the Bestian Empire, for example."

Yes, enemies with dull giants of movement. In other words, if you see the human army as one organism, it hits exactly this. Elaine asked me about the war with the Bestian Empire, which is likely to take place next spring after this winter. It was a decision that the fire whirlwind phenomenon would be usable today as one of the trump cards at that time. Considering the direct heat damage alone to a radius of several hundred m and even the indirect damage caused by simultaneous winding of hot gases and flames around it, its range of effects is wider than that of "Dancing Flames", which create nearly 100 rays of usable flames to attack enemies in the range, while at the same time creating a translucent red dome to annihilate enemies in it, but are better suited to deal with the presence of a large number of enemies compared to "Fire Elysium", which does not do any damage outside the dome. And most importantly, there is a very long time of fire whirlwind winding unlike any other magic to see if it is the combined effect of multiple magic and skills. Because the tornado of flames still exists today, watching apart in this way, as if to give death to its surroundings.

"Still, there are a lot of things to be aware of... is there a training center around here? Seto, thanks to which he succeeded in developing a fairly powerful method of attack. Thank God."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Praised and caressed, throaty and joyful Seto.

About an hour before the fire whirlwind disappeared naturally as we watched how it was, it was Ray who observed the situation with Seto before returning to the city of Gilm.
