Then we went back to the labyrinth of the Virgin and...

Through the first door, when it was close to the exit of the cave, a message came from Illis.

It was information about the adventurers waiting for the Inn and the Viscount Lady.

"Holy Virgin. Additional information."

After reading it, I screamed into the back of the cave, but I didn't hear back.

The Virgin seems to have fallen asleep already.

"Things, things"

Instead I replied, the golems for work, a dozen.

They gather around us with scoops and tsuruhashi.

"Things, things"

They're all looking up at us, rattling their hands and feet loose.

"You mean tell ourselves, instead of the Virgin?

"Things"

The golems shook their heads together - almost integrated with their shoulders - vertically.

It's these kids who actually remodel the labyrinth, okay?

"A buddy of mine gave me information. Looks like the Viscount Warrant will be here in a couple of days. If the Virgin wants to repel them, she'd better remodel the labyrinth early. Can you?"

To my inquiry, the golems simultaneously thumbed 'Gu'.

"Leave it to me! 'He wants to.

"Can I help you?

"Here and now!

The golems shook their heads sideways.

Simultaneously, with the tools you have, start carving letters on the walls.

"Usually."

... Can you normally afford it?

"Okay. Let me know if anything happens. I'll thank you for the scepter."

"Kokoku"

"And tell the Virgin when she wakes up. 'I'm sorry I cleared the labyrinth with cheats. When my life settles down, I'll come and see you in the right way."

"Come on, come on, come on!

The leading golem is coming to us.

And he offered the palm of his hand before Cecil.

What was on my hand was a scarlet skill crystal.

"To me, is it?

"Kokoku"

With the scoop Golem had, he starts digging letters on the wall.

Awesome speed. That's the legendary party user demon.

If this is the case, the labyrinth virgin up may also be spared and in time.

"A souvenir. To be able to identify the right thing."

"Thank you. Tell Delilah I'll take care of it."

So Cecil received a skill crystal.

"Truth Confession LV1"

"Seal" Lies in "Magic Formation" Magic

The crystal contained the magic the Virgin used on Cecil.

When I get on top of this magical formation made of magic, they stop lying.

"Thank you. We'll be in maintenance for a couple of days, so come if you want to exchange information."

I told him where the villa was in the maintenance area. [M]

"I don't know about the times when the Virgin was alive, but I respect her way of life."

I don't think I can do it.

I mean, that's the way I got away with it.

I'll see you when I get a chance.

"" 'This place and!

The Golems dropped us off and we left the Virgin's labyrinth.

"Let's check the functionality of the 'Holy Cane' before we go back to town"

I said.

This is an unpopular meadow, away from the cave.

After we left the cave, we quietly left Rock Mountain.

All the way up Rock Mountain, at high altitudes, there's a powerful demon, Hydra, so don't irritate it.

"Hydra.

Low-level subdragons. Low intelligence, but high combat ability.

He has a large number of necks and boasts an appetite for allowances and gradually a round drink of everything.

He has a strong regenerative ability and won't die unless he crushes all his neck.

The total length is a few meters. Some reach a dozen meters in the larger ones.

It strikes me when I make a fuss nearby because of my habit of protecting Nawabari '

That's why we traveled to the meadows where the streets were visible.

The wand the Virgin gave me seems to be a pretty powerful item, so I need to make sure whatever happens.

Sacred Wand Neuerut

Wand to 'change' the 'range of effects' of 'magic'

Can widen or narrow the activated magic effect range.

However, the magical power itself remains unchanged.

Enlargement level 10. Adjustable to shrinkage level 10.

"This wand can broaden the magic range… it may not make sense, but it can shrink"

"You're going to have a wider range of magic... we should all stick together so we don't get involved"

Rita leans over and says, "Perfect."

Because if you stay away, you might be in the magic range.

We stuck together and lined up behind Cecil.

"So, Cecil, try shooting the Fire Arrow at magnification level 10."

"Okay." Breath of the Spirit, shoot my enemy, arrow of flames "!

Cecil set up the 'Holy Cane' to activate the 'Arrow of Fire'.

Fire powder scattered around.

... It was over.

"... you know, Nagi... this is... eh"

"You mean one shot of 'Fire Arrow' spread to its limit and became a firepowder?

To my question, Cecil nodded.

It's because you've widened the scope too much.

The heat and the flames are spreading and it's just a fire powder.

"Cecil, I need a wall of flames next"

"Wow, I get it!" O Red Lotus, be a barrier to my protection "!" Wall of Fire "!!

In front of us, a wall of flames appeared ten meters across.

The height was 20 cm.

"... you can jump over this"

"... subtle height."

Psst, psst.

Rita flies a 'wall of flames' about the height to her knees, back, her troubled face.

The range is wider, so it can be used to stop a large number of enemies. Not bad as an ability.

"It's ten times wider. Instead, you're going to be less than a tenth tall..."

But you didn't think so, Cecil dropped her shoulder disappointed, holding her wand.

This' Cane Neuerut 'changes only the magic effect range.

If you're a high level wizard, like the Virgin or the legendary Demon Clan, you can heal a few wounds or create a wall of flames surrounding the castle, but Cecil still doesn't have enough level as a wizard.

So will it 'wide and shallow' effect this way?

"... I wanted to surprise Nagi..."

"He said he wouldn't be disappointed. This wand is just an ancient word magic."

Ancient language magic is cheat in itself, so if you expand the range of effects...

─ ─ It's going to be scary.

"... but it's usually treasure mochigu. I thought this wand would help Nagi more..."

Cecil was in tears, looking at me.

"I've come up with one thing, okay? Cecil."

"May I show you something cool that I have failed?

"I'm fine. I'd rather know about Cecil."

"... Yes"

Cecil nodded to me with a lit face, a wand in her hand.

I pointed across the meadow. [M]

"For example, there's 'Rock Lizard' over there, right?

"There you are."

"You haven't noticed us yet."

"You're starting to walk down the street, aren't you?

"You're starting to walk."

"If we keep this up, travelers and caravans could be attacked."

"So why don't you shoot Cecil's regular version of Fire Arrow?

"Yes." Furyu - "... Ah, I noticed this one"

"They're coming."

'Rock Lizard' leaves the street and walks over here.

"Cecil, give me The Arrow of Fire again"

"Ha, ha!

"Now activate the Sacred Wand Neuerut, with the effect range of" Shrinkage Level 10 ""

"Shrink, is it!?

I nodded to Cecil's question.

Once the range of magic effects was extended, magic and flames spread to become firepowder.

So... shrink... no, what happens when you compress?

"Let's try, Cecil. That's what Nagi says, so there's got to be a reason!

"Thank you. Rita, just in case, grab Cecil and get ready to run."

"It's okay!

Cecil set up a silver wand - "Neuerut" - towards "Rock Lizard".

"There is no mistake in what you say, Nagi!" Shrink Level 10, Fire Arrow "!!

Hmm.

From the tip of the wand came the 'arrow of flames' compressed into a tenth.

Usually an arrow the size of a person's arm was like a crushed chopstick.

Besides, I don't fly.

It's like you're being held down by something, shaking at the tip of a cane.

"'Arrow of Fire' won't fly away!

Cecil opened her eyes and screamed.

"Something's holding on. I feel it. At the end of the cane, it's stopped!

"It's like closing the mouth of a hose that flushed water?

"I don't know, but it's like that!

"Then keep chanting continuously. Give me the Arrow of Fire!

"Yes, Nagi!" Fire Arrow "" Fire Arrow! '"Fumizu, ah, yah!!

Every time Cecil casts a spell, 'Arrow of Fire' builds up at the end of the wand.

'Rock Lizard' went into range at the same time as the fifth activation.

"It's now, Cecil. Uncompress! Unlock the Fire Arrow!

"Ha!!

Cecil grips the 'Holy Cane Neuerut'.

The Fire Arrow, which had been compressed until the end of the line, closed the mouth of the hose.

Bo-shun

It was accompanied by condensed heat and magic and flew away as a bullet of burning light.

And...

[]/(adj-na, n) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

The light bullet penetrated lightly through the "Rock Lizard" methyl and devoured into his torso.

"GUGAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

'Rock Lizard' screams.

I emptied the Devil's Sword Leggy before approaching the handy 'Rock Lizard'.

Keep going, drill the holes in the armor and stick out your sword to unlock Delayed Martial Arts.

Zashu.

"─ ─ GU…… GA"

Spitting purple blood, 'Rock Lizard' stopped moving.

Taken "Rock Lizard"!

There's a hole in the fallen "Rock Lizard" armor about a man's head.

It was a hole vacated by a compressed 'Fire Arrow'.

"... did it turn out to be 'delayed magic' after all"

It's common in games.

Save it for the magic, "Arrow of Fire," he said, hitting the power of five shots.

"That was... a little different"

Cecil is crushing as she drinks water from the leather bag.

"It looks like the magic and heat have been compressed and erupted. Normally, it was a lot more caloric and destructive than shooting five Fire Arrows in."

"'Rock Lizard's Metro' should be strong for heat, right?

Right. Because it's as good as being used in the sauna's steam source.

"Penetrate that... Cecil, wow"

"Amazing is Nagi."

To Rita, who keeps her eyes open, the excitement Cecil replied.

"I can't usually think of anything like this. Wow. Now I... Wow, heat!

Cecil removed the wand.

When I touch it, it's so hot that the cane itself is about to burn.

After all, isn't this the way it should be used?

"Are you overloaded because of your cheesy use"

"... Yes. Somehow I feel it."

Cecil closed her eyes and said.

"'Breaking the limits of use. Looks like it'll be a while before we can use it again."

Originally, "Holy Cane Neuerut" is something that changes the magical range. But what is envisaged is enlargement, and shrinking is a function of continuity, I guess.

Because there is no common sense in this world to compress magic.

"Cecil, are you okay? Didn't you get burned?

"Yes, it is... Hiraku, Nagi, well..."

I took Cecil's tiny hand.

You're still a little hot. I don't seem to have burns though.

"Nagihima, Nagihima. I will shoot the compressed flame arrow. Let me shoot you!

"Why!?

"It's okay! I'll hold your cane with you. I'm with you when I burn!

"Because you don't have to. I mean, you can't use it for a while! I wouldn't be terrible if I just got it!

I calmed Cecil and Rita down.

Then I checked about 'compression magic'.

According to Cecil's story, "Arrow of Fire" stayed in front of him without being able to pop out because he was too thin. The next "Arrow of Fire" came after that, so the magic and heat accumulated there.

At the end of the day, he flew away with high fever and high magic heaps due to his release at once.

─ It seems to mean.

"I mean, a little concentration of magic."

Rita said.

"My 'holy power mastery' and nagging. By concentrating your magic and heat on a single point, I guess that means you're increasing penetration."

"It's very convincing when Rita says she usually uses it."

"Hmm. Right?"

Rita shakes her tail, she's got her chest stretched. Cute.

"Me, now I can help you more Nagi!

"I'm gonna burn it, so let's just make it an emergency."

What the Virgin gave me was a pretty nasty item, depending on how she used it.

Let me use it when there's really nothing I can do about it.

After we took a break, we started walking towards the sanctuary.

"Speaking of which, I told you in the cave, I heard from Illis."

I told Cecil and Rita.

"There are two contents.

The first one received an answer from the lord of Ilgafa about the map we made. The early horse came back. The map is worth it, so I'd love to trade it. He wants me to come back to Ilgafa once and for all. "

I've had a lot of rest, so it's time to go back.

I've cleared most of the mysterious ruins and artifacts around here, and I'm not comfortable leaving my house empty for long. Once we get back, let's get to work.

"And the other thing is, Ilis was in charge, and I'm talking about informing adventurers in the waiting room."

"That's what your merchant daughter asked me to do."

"What happened, Nagi?

It's about the merchant's daughter, Mr. Holliam, who was hoping to get her involved.

The Iris report was simple.

What was written in the message was just one word.

"Sender: Illis

Recipient: Ouch

Body: "Cheaty" Results'
