Summoning at Random

Episode 91: Turrets of Light

"Nooo!

"Are you all right, my predecessor?

Milieus sounds anxiously at Eligor, who had already prevented a flash of light with his sword to the point of a hundred million robberies counting several times, holding back near him and protecting other faces from the aftermath.

"No problem yet...... but you're getting shorter shooting intervals than earlier.

Finally, we may be close to our destination. "

"Right."

He's right, the interval between each blow is obviously narrowed compared to when he was first targeted. I don't know if that's simply due to the reduced distance from where you're ejecting, or because the person you're shooting at has learned to rush, but they're intuitive that it's definitely close either way.

The speculation that comes from the reaction is, of course, greater than anything else that I had felt in my skin the power of those who wait ahead.

One line, convinced that the way forward was right, pushes wholeheartedly along the path paved by the two demons.

"I see you."

"? I don't see anything...?

Hearing the dark god Amber whine, Ling Ji turns to the end of his gaze.

But unfortunately nothing is within sight.

"Well, can't you see I need to get a little closer in front of you?"

"It's just futile to hang out with the sight of the Divine Clan"

"Oh, really?"

The creation of the body in the first place is different between the Divine and the People and Demons. That's not just in muscle strength and so on, but also in sight and hearing.

No, there is more noticeable difference between those perceptual abilities, rather.

Something from a distance that Ling Ji's eyesight does not see, I guess, is visible to Amber.

I don't know how much "a little bit more" he says, but in any case, there's nothing we can do about it if we don't get close.

One line of thought looked at the direction of the light coming, and walked in that direction.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Hey, what is that...?

"Crystal, is it?

Ling Ji and the others, some time after Amber found something, were finally able to see what he saw.

They realized on their own how out-of-standard the "eyes" of the Divine Clan are, but their amazement at the sight in front of them prevails, a situation that is not the case.

At the end of their gaze, there was something like a huge chunk of crystal floating in the universe. Its crystals are clear and visible inside, but at its core lies the great beads of light of man.

It doesn't look like an artifact, or even a product of nature.

"Huh! They're coming!

It was almost at the same time that Eligor uttered a warning voice and it reacted.

Though the full contents were close to a foreseeable position, they are still largely far apart. Still, Ling Ji and the others managed to see the whole thing with their eyes.

When I wondered if the light sphere glowed like a pulsation, the light muscle was amplified with random reflections inside the crystal, and eventually the rays stretched in a straight line from the side that was even closer to where they were.

"Kuh!?"

"Mr. Eligor!

As before, Eligor prevents it with a great sword protected by the Dark God, but only slightly its body retreats. Because it was closer to earlier, or because the power of the light did not attenuate, it became more powerful.

Miliers alone decides that the light that did not deviate is difficult to deal with, and Ling Ji temporarily gathers the darkness that was drifting around him as a shield.

Having managed to prevent damage to party members, he turns a blind eye to the crystals and surroundings that have once again unleashed an attack.

There is nothing around but giant crystals floating in the air.

"I can't believe it, let's back off once.

This place is too close. The attack is tight. "

"Okay, let's back off once and work out what to do."

We have already learned on previous journeys that the power of light is attenuated if the distance from the crystal is released.

Ling Ji and the others backed away after briefly agreeing to back down to a position that could not be prevented.

◆ ◆ ◆

"First of all, what you've been attacking on the road so far, that sounds pretty sure."

"It was like a turret."

"I actually saw it with my eyes and confirmed it, so I'm pretty sure."

Except for Eligor, who plays a role in preventing light rays, an Atlantic line forms a circle to work out countermeasures.

The place is far away from the point where the crystals are barely visible, and we know that if we get here, the rays will also be inexorably diverted by Eligor's sword.

"I don't even know if that's a creature.

At least I'm sure they're after us precisely. "

You mean the boss of this hierarchy?

"... Um, where is the Stone Statue of the Virgin God?

"With that said, you weren't around."

The aim of Ling Ji et al. is to regain the administrator of the three pillars made into stone statues and move on.

But there was nothing on that spot they saw earlier but crystal-like enemies.

"All that powerful shelling, it's not a single blow, it's an endless shooting.

It should require unusual magic.

Probably... "

"The bead of light that was at the center of that crystal, the stone statue of the Light God is housed in it?

"What do you think?

Anbar answers with a troublesome voice when Henri turns her gaze to Miliers and Ling Ji's assumption that the stone statues of the administrators are used as a power source, just like when Anbar encountered in the previous hierarchy.

"Oh, you'll be sure on that line.

There's a sign of a serious woman out there. "

"From my holy bow, too, I felt the response of the Virgin God"

Aurain also explores the signs with his forehead against the Holy Bow and reports the results.

Apparently, there is no doubt that the stone statue of Sophia, the light god, is contained in the beads of light that were at the center of that crystal, shooting light by drawing up its power.

Having so decided, they began the search for the means that could be taken next.

"Can't we revive you by applying light magic, just like when you were Mr. Amber?

"It must be difficult, because there are no stone statues in the visible position"

"I guess that means you can't use the same means twice on a boulder."

The golem of shadows, with Amber's stone statue at its core, succeeded in reviving and stopping him by striking the dark magic against the stone statue.

That was done because the stone statue had been stripped to the chest of the golem.

However, this time the crystal turret is hiding the stone statue of the Light God in the inner depths, so it is unlikely that we can deal with it with the same hands.

"I mean, do you have to challenge that one head-on?

Mr. Amber, can you handle this?

"Don't rely on me, do something in front of you.

I can't seem to get over this.

It won't be possible to give that bastard a shot after a hundred years. "

Ling Ji pointed the water at Anbar, the dark god, wondering if he could help him, but he ended up being lightly rejected.

However, because there was also a large part of his words that was convincing, Ling Ji immediately changes his mind and begins to think about dealing with it on their own.

Light shelling keeps getting shot in while we're at it.

They were pressed to work out measures as quickly as possible.

"What about poking at the spacing of the attack and getting close?

"The closer you get, the more powerful the light becomes.

You probably won't be able to prevent it if you get closer than that, than you had difficulty preventing it even at an earlier distance.

Sure, there's a certain interval between shelling, but there won't be enough respite to fill that distance. "

Olaine shakes her neck sideways on Filina's suggestion.

"What are you waiting for to run out of magic like this in a protracted war?

"I guess I can't do that.

If the source of power is the Light God, expecting out of magic is hopeless "

Ling Ji's proposal was denied by Eligor, who protects them with a great sword, over his back.

"Um, what about a magical attack from this place?

"It's too far to boulder.

Wouldn't be a lot of damage. "

The words Tena said while raising her right hand are also supposedly impossible by Miliers.

"You can use Amber as a shield to get close."

"I'll kill you, right in front of you."

And Henri's nontheistic idea was rejected by Amber, who had a blue muscle on his forehead.

As a matter of fact, he certainly wouldn't be dying if he ate that shell, so if it were a shield, he'd be close to the crystal turret.

Except she's not the only fierce person who can talk it straight into the boulder.

"The shield is also a horn, and if you want to take that one down, you have to figure out a way to get close.

……………… ah "

"Mr. Rage?

"Did they come up with anything?

Tena and Orlain ask Ling Ji, who groaned.

"Oh, I could try one thing."
