My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop
Episode 130: Rematch in the Ice Tower
"Luke in the White Wolf Forest! You're the only one I can capture for anything!
The vast stream of magic unleashed by the leaping Norzuri poured down like a circle surrounding me and Garnett, creating a new ice wall in an instant.
It was like an ice circle tower surrounding us.
"Shit! White Wolf's!
"I know!
Extend your arms to quickly [disassemble].
But at that moment when I tried to touch the ice wall, the swirling cold air tucked around my arm and quickly froze my arm.
"What......!?
Immediately pull the arm to [disassemble] the ice.
I can't believe they froze this far in an instant.
Even when I used to engage with Norzuri, I had him re-frozen from the side I [disassemble] to make the breakthrough difficult, but this time it's obviously more than that.
"I told you I wouldn't miss it"
Norzuri shows up through the ice wall ceiling.
But it did not descend to the floor, so that it could be supported by a cold air scaffold, and it remained near the top of the circle tower.
"Don't guide me. I will not take his life because of His Majesty's death. I'll freeze you alive and carry you."
"Ha! You refuse!
Garnett knocks over his head and casts a series of magic slashes as he continues to stand.
Multiple ice shields deployed against it.
With each blow, the shield crushes, and Norzuri's sword takes the slaughter that breaks through.
"You are unnecessary. Dye the ice with blood."
Ice spears are generated in large quantities and pour like concentrated heavy rain for the garnet.
Garnett shot down half with a slash of magic all over his body, stopping the remaining half with a magic barrier.
"Oh my...!
"Simply imitate."
As soon as Norzuri showed her further pursuit set-up, she felt the glare suddenly increased beyond the ice wall and the cold air inside the ice tower faded.
While me and Garnett learned confusion, Norzuri apparently instantly guessed what had happened, staring abominably at the source of the flash.
"Suzuri, did you get serious when you saw there was no fear of entanglement... Mmm, no, this is... this glow isn't just... suzuri...!
"... Sakura!
Beyond the ice wall, two light sources move, each drawing a completely different trajectory and bumping into each other.
Its trajectory is exactly flashing.
Sakura is fighting the demon warlord Suzuri for real.
Should we rush out of here and aim to rendezvous?
No, getting out poorly could be dangerous the other way around.
"(Guy like Suzuri, you said you wouldn't take me seriously not to make me black burn... if that wasn't a huge provocation, you mean the other way around if Norzuri's ice wall disappeared...!
With that in mind, put your hands on the floor and activate [Analysis].
The result was more than I could have imagined.
Every flammable material in the entrance hall is inflamed and the surface of the stone is burned.
Norzuri must feel bitter.
I don't know what kind of interaction there was outside, but the war situation over there is clearly placing constraints on Norzuri's behavior.
The ice tower we deployed to lock us up, but it was no longer possible to disarm it at Norzuri's convenience.
"I had to. Before the ice wall reaches its limit, let me just push it forward. Excessive freezing may rot one arm, but you don't have a problem with it."
A cold-aired norzuri descends on the floor.
The next moment, a vortex of intense cold air rolled up so hard that I couldn't keep my eyes open.
Garnett, who was closer to Norzuri than I was, is instantly covered in ice and snow.
"Haku, Wu, of...!
"Garnett! Go (...) Down there (...) We're getting away!
…… Oops! "
Fully activate [disassembly] with your hands on the frosted floor.
Hit a large circular hole in the shape along the bottom of the circle tower on the ice wall.
Garnett, who received a signal with myself, was able to make that moment in preparation for the fall, but Norzuri lost his scaffold and fell ill with utter unintention.
"Ugh...! Again!"
Even if I knew I could do this, I shouldn't have been able to read it until the timing of the activation.
Falling into the space that extends beneath the entrance hall, at the same time [restoring] the floor and blocking the hole, leaving behind a mass of cold air generated by immense magic.
Between a second and a little while as I fell the equivalent of a third floor in a building on the ground, Garnett took my arm and pulled it over, landing forcefully in a position that I could hold with both arms.
Norzuri also does not crash unnecessarily on boulders, landing intact even if not lightly.
"Hmm... are you going to separate me from Suzuri? If so, that's a sweet idea. You can defeat me now."
"Come on, I don't know"
whispers subtly into his ear as he [repairs] the frozen garnet down from his arm.
"If it wasn't for me, Sakura would be able to escape in [shrinkage] and cross the walls. If the castle attack succeeds, it's this way."
I have long and painfully understood that I am a foot wrapper in combat.
That's why I have a bunch of ideas on how to get it done without pulling my leg.
Blanc had planted the technique of stopping flesh thinning in [shrinkage], but there was no doubt that such planting did not exist, at least for moving from outside to inside the walls.
After you leave, join the Siege Squad and speed up the breakthrough of the Wall, and that will solve it.
"Can we go, Garnett"
"Oh, no problem."
Confirm what's going on around you as you confront Norzuri at some distance.
- I don't have the atmosphere of being part of a castle at all.
The floors and walls are flat, and the ceiling is filled with the same light-emitting system as the upper surface (sora) of the "Demon King Castle area".
However, not everything in the underground space was illuminated, and further from its current position, it was closed to the deep darkness.
It brings back memories long ago.
During the architecture of the Fortress of Hollow Bottom, a place where the dragon man and the valiant Falcon were attacked and settled with him - a mysterious ruin that extends beneath the realm of 'Demon King's Castle'.
This underground space seemed to be built in the same architectural style as that ruin aisle.
"(No way... it's a space built beneath the castle, but a castle was built later on over here? castle to hide it over the underground ruins…)"
A silent confrontation ensues for a while.
Neither Garnett nor Norzuri inadvertently moved into action and seemed to be asking each other how to get out.
Breaking that stare was the sound of shoes heard from the back of the dark.
"- Well done, Norzuri. Looks like you've secured someone for the Alpha Zulu."
"Ha, it's an honor"
Despite being in front of the enemy, Norzuri unraveled and knelt.
Only then did we have a clear understanding of what the Lord of the Footsteps was.
