Summoning at Random

Lesson 32: The Wall

Ling Ji stepped forward with the signal of Leonora's start.

The opponent's girl, Miliers, is a demon mentor. Then the distance is between her. If they take a distance, they'll unilaterally shoot you and it's over.

Conversely, it is a decision that if you can bring it into melee, you will be overwhelmingly more advantageous to fight with your sword.

Ling Ji's judgment is on Shizukuishi Street and is never wrong.

Even the others would have made the same choice if they had been placed in the same situation.

However, Stone Street means it is easy to assume from the other party.

"Unfortunately, that hand doesn't make sense to Miliers"

"Mr. Leonora?

"If you look, you'll see."

Leonora whines watching the game in a remote position.

Tena, who was listening to it next door, leans her neck strangely, but Leonora points to Miliers with her jaw.

As he thus demonstrated the word, a flame rolled from below in front of Ling Ji approaching Miliers.

"Damn!?

Ling Ji assumed to be intercepted from the front, but was unexpectedly poked by a flame rising from his feet, flying back and avoiding at the critical.

Escaped from the reach of the flames, Ling Ji watches as he tries to pack the distance again waiting for his momentum to weaken.

But contrary to his expectations, the flames did not weaken the momentum, and they showed strange movements like swirling swirls.

"What...?

Ling Ji observes her eyes narrowly in flames that show movement that cannot be natural.

In front of its Ling Ji, the flames changed shape and took a human form.

"Flame Marionette"

"Huh?"

It has a height of about two metres in length and is a human form formed by flames in the head, torso, and hands and feet.

Heading toward Ling Ji, the mannequin shakes his arms wide and slaps him.

Ling Ji tries to take the attack with his sword, but he has a bad feeling just before and jumped backwards as he puts it up to shield the sword in his right hand.

The arm shaken down by the flaming human form stretches barely into his body so that there is nothing to hit Ling Ji's raised sword.

"Hot!!

A flaming arm through the sword swept Ling Ji's right arm, screaming unintentionally at its heat. But it was only done to that extent because my instincts had dropped back, and if I had been in the original position, I would have suffered burns all over my body by now.

Ling Ji falls further back from the jumped position and quickly exerts healing magic on the injury to his right arm.

"Of flames...... is it a golem?

"This is my specialty - Flame Marionette. This is the type of person who built the fireworks.

As you aimed, being a magician, I'm not good at battling at distance.

But with this marionette, even if I can't make the melee myself, there's no problem. "

Ling Ji recalled the earlier attack and tried to get close to the marionette and slash it.

It is a shallow attack with an emphasis on safety, a blow to ascertain the opponent's characteristics, not by defeating them.

As expected, Ling Ji's slaughter slit Marionette's arm without even responding, but at the next moment the wound was plugged back to normal as if nothing had happened.

"Can't I kill him after all?

No, I guess I'd be right to say I'll be back even if I slaughter you. "

"That's the thing, you can't slay a flame without a entity.

Therefore, you cannot defeat this marionette. "

As Miliers puts it, Flame Marionette is only forming into a human form by manipulating flames with magic, and slashing them won't damage just because the flames split into two parts.

Even if I slaughtered him hundreds of times, he'd end up in jail.

"If you don't have an entity, wouldn't it even be a shield?

"Sure, we can't physically stop the attack because there's no entity, but if we touch it, we'll be burned by the flames.

I wouldn't just be sorry to barge in alive.

It may be effective if you target Miliers himself with bows and arrows, but you can't do it with a sword. "

Leonora explains to Oraine, who raised the question.

"Golem Creation is inherently more about earthly magic than fire magic.

But Miliers took it well and made it his own method of warfare.

The advantages and disadvantages are divided by the compatibility with the opponent, but if you are a swordsman, you will not lose. "

Did you hear Leonora's praise-mixed commentary, and Miliez took Marionette a step forward when she distorted her mouth with a hoot.

"Well, now it's our turn"

"Come on!"

With Miliers' proclamation, Marionette struck with both her arms against the frightened Reiji.

The marionette that Miliers manipulates is large, but the weight does not exist because there is no entity. As a result, it moves fast around its large body.

Nevertheless, it is not to say that Ling Ji is fast enough not to be able to react, but if he accepts it, he will be burned the same way he did at the beginning.

Ling Ji was just able to keep dodging, and took further distance.

"... don't you want to come after me?

Ling Ji was wary, wondering if Marionette would come after him, but the opponent only comes forward to a certain position and stops on the spot.

Being a marionette who acts as a shield at the same time as a sword to Miliers, I guess he was wary of being pulled too far away from the main body to be broken through.

You're a pain in the ass.

If Marionette stayed away from Miliers, she would have managed to pull out the side and attacked Miliers directly, Ling Ji, but in this state it's also difficult.

The marionette is accommodated at a smaller distance of travel in order to be more inward, even though it turns around to draw an arc.

………………

Ling Ji, troubled by his attackers, stares sharply at the marionette nestled between him and Miliers in an attempt to spot a breakthrough.

Fortunately, Marionette didn't come forward from her current position, so Ling Ji threw a sharp word at her thinking that if she kept her distance, she wouldn't be attacked.

"I'll tell you because I seem to have forgotten one thing..."

"Huh?"

"I am a magician, and distance is my time"

With that word, the flames run from above the marionette and on both sides towards Ling Ji.

No, some of them even flew straight through the marionette's torso.

"Wow!?

Ling Ji wields the sword in his hands screaming and tries to put out the flame, but his reaction was delayed and he ate several shots in his hands and feet because he was alarmed that his opponent's attack would not arrive.

It is Miliers' method of warfare to magically shoot away from a distance while preventing approaching with a flaming human form. It is simple, but therefore difficult to take action.

With more means of ranged attack than the fire magic unleashed by Miliers, we can also confront each other by firing head-on, but only light magic can be used by Ling Ji today, one or two steps inferior in terms of fire power.

"Well, if you're not attacking me, I'll let you keep going."

Miliez smiles and pours more flaming spheres toward Ling Ji.

We have managed to avoid it by taking a distance, but it is visible that if we are unilaterally targeted, any of them will become irreplaceable due to fatigue. If you do, you're rarely beaten to death.

There are two possible means more than magically difficult to combat.

One is to draw a sword that can be unleashed by a powerful attack like the one that defeated the Black Dragon before with the sword of luck, and break through with all your might. If it were the kind of polar light you emitted then, you would also be able to defeat Miliers for every marionette.

However, that means cannot be picked up as it stands. This place is only a "game" of hard work, because it's awkward to kill or seriously injure your opponent. Before that, I don't want to do that to a girl I think is under the age of even as Ling Ji.

Another means is to somehow break through the marionette and approach Miliers.

That said, if you go head-on, that's no different than suicide jumping into the fire.

I also gave up considering going around from side to side.

Then I'll stay......

"Mm?"

Seeing Ling Ji, who suddenly began to run before, Miliez raised a voice of doubt.

"Are you willing to go straight into the marionette? Stupid."

Miliez goes into interception shaking Marionette's arm, even though he is only slightly discouraged by the lack of sticking.

A shaken Tai Chi is slapped by Ling Ji... instantly, his figure disappeared.

"Hey, what!?

"Hate and not so reckless"

With those words, Ling Ji's body was dancing through the universe.

Shortly before Marionette's arm was tapped, she jumped up into the air with a sword of luck on the floor and a forward upside down rotation.

His body floated high enough to jump over the marionette due to his physical abilities, which had been strengthened since he came to this world.

If you can't go around from side to side, just jump over... it was such a forceful way to break through.

As long as you can jump over the marionette and pack the distance, there is no element to beat Milieus, the Magic Master.

Ling Ji is convinced of victory.

"─ Huh!? Let me!

But the opponent is the Four Heavenly Kings, who are at the top of the Demon Clan at an early age.

Even though Ling Ji's response provoked him to make an impression, he took appropriate action reflexively.

The moment Ling Ji tried to jump over the marionette, Miliez stopped maintaining the human form and burst the marionette.

Flame Marionette of Miliers uses magic to condense flames into human shapes. Then what happens if we stop forming it......

The answer is, the condensed flames bounce off the rebellion, right?

"Nah...... ahhhhhh!?

Ling Ji, whose body is in the air, naturally cannot be avoided, and will be exposed to the flame properly. He fell to the floor wrapped in flames and couldn't even take his reception, and managed to extinguish the fire by getting desperate and rolling around, but the damage remained largely unclear and unconscious.

"Mr. Rage!?

"Are you okay!?

"Hey, that's too much...... Huh!?

Tena and Oraine scream and hang over the fallen Ling Ji. Leonora also panicked with a cold sweat over more damage than expected.

But on the other hand, Miliers was not safe either.

Ruptured the marionette at her behest, but the flames emitted by it were out of her control, causing damage to the operator, Miliers himself.

Especially since he didn't take that much damage because of his distance than Ling Ji, he stands on his own feet.

Ling Ji is unconscious and it is impossible to fight any more. It is good to see that the referee Leonora has forgotten, so no signal has been given, but the settlement has been reached.

It wasn't long before Ling Ji, who is being treated with Oraine's hands, found out about it.
