The Magus of Genesis

Episode 20: Magical Weapon/Magical Weapon

"Yes, I was, I was, I was, I was."

"You're a boy, you don't rattle around like this."

Saying so, Nina pinches my scales. A huge pench, or a scissor without a blade, used to grab burnt iron in a blacksmith, well, that's the kind of tool.

And when I put my foot around my chest, I put on as much weight as I could and pulled.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts! Please be kinder!

"I feel sorry for you for keeping such a big figure."

Except for the story that the pain you can endure if you pull one or two out yourself will force you to pull out a bunch of them by wielding such horrible tools.

"Hey, Nina, I knew I'd pull myself out"

"No, you can't. If an amateur handles it properly, and it's purulent, you can't even see it."

She is happy to insist on pulling out my scales, but if you ask me, she is not a scale-pulling professional either. I wish he would just look at the wound later...... Ouch.

"For once, I made a prototype…………"

With an unconfidential voice, the lizard (Lizardman) girl looked a little.

"Fee. Good day, thank you. How are you doing?

She hits a lizard once enrolled in a magic school, Sig's granddaughter. As a matter of position, it's supposed to hit the lizard princess, but she wasn't particularly willing to inherit the throne, so she was practicing blacksmithing all the time in the village of Hiiro.

With scales fearless of fire and heat, and waving lightly heavy hammers with four arms, they are such gifted blacksmiths of nature that they do not think they have a past that forbade the use of any weapon.

"That, the teacher's scales, was so stiff... that it could barely be processed..."

Even though she was terribly frightened, she made me try to take out some weapons.

"First of all, this is a dragon scale spear…. I tried using the scales I grinded on the tip of my ear."

The first thing Phee showed was a spear with a protrusion and a leaf-shaped blade to prevent it from stabbing too deep at the end of a pattern about two and a half metres long. The pattern was engraved with a spell of fine enhancement, which had a beauty like a work of art while making it simple.

My scales are only about a few dozen centimeters, even large ones. On top of that, unlike metal, it cannot be dissolved into a mass, so it is not very suitable for processing. Fee apparently sharply sharpened the scales about the size of the medium and mounted them at the tip of the steel pattern to spear them. You used to grind those hard scales so beautifully.

"Next, this is…… a dragon scale steel sword mixed with finely crushed and powdered scales……"

The second thing taken out was a long sword with a bright red body, like a flame. It can be seen that the garnishes are decorated like real flames from the beginning to the end, and that care is taken not to compromise the comfort of using them beautifully.

A spell drawn in such a way that it is disputed in part of the decoration is a summoning ceremony of the Spirit of Fire. Carefully, only the blade is designated to be enclosed. If it were steel mixed with my scales, it would not be damaged by high heat, and it would burn out any hard fur covered warcraft.

"And this is... uh, to try it out, I made it..."

The last one to come out was a long bow made of a bunch of large scales. Obviously, bigger than my back. Will it be about two meters long?

"The Warcraft heard that the nails are also... sharper and stronger than they should be. If so... from afar, it would be better if we could attack..."

It certainly was. The human side may be able to withstand it if they wear protective gear too, but there's no way they're going to wear dragon scale steel full body armor in the hunt. At best, it would be about leather armor processed with armored bear fur.

If so, as before, there is no way that some bullets can be fought in readiness.

It's a distant bow in the village of Hiiro, but that's because it's hard to put reinforced magic on it.

Little arrow butts don't have much strong magic in them. The amount of magic that can be put into something is proportional to its size.

Unlike swords and spears on them, you have to do new magic every time you shoot them. Rather, he preferred spears that were easy to magic, can be used in melee fights if needed, and can be easily recovered.

But that doesn't make much difference where I made it out of dragon scales.

"Can I pull it off?

Handed to me by a snorting fie, I turn into a human figure and take a dragon scale bow in my hand.

"The strings were made by twisting armored bear hair together. The magic, it's pervasive, so it doesn't cut a bit."

I thought I was being reasonable and brown. I put my bow up, put my finger on the string, and I slowly squeezed...

I couldn't squeeze it.

"What is this!?

On the contrary, it doesn't even work with Pickle.

"Um, uh"

Am I doing something wrong? Fee called out with a troubled look to me confirming by turning the bow upside down or holding it back.

"With normal force, you can't pull it off. I don't think we can do it without enhanced magic."

"…… you mean?"

I am good at it, bowing again, whining small.

"I am strong."

Enhanced magic is hard to regulate. If you put it poorly, your body's output becomes too strong to act properly.

There are two ways to control that successfully.

One is to get used to your strength when strengthened.

And the other thing is to overload it high.

Strengthened my muscles, I squeeze my bow slowly. Then I could pull it off lightly this time.

"It's that easy......... it's amazing!

Seeing that, Fee rounds his eyes and applauds me. Mindful of that, I let go of my hand to release the arrow where I squeezed enough.

"Ah."

Sooner than Fee lowers his voice, the bread, sounds and the bow explodes. At the same time, a severe pain ran on my arm.

"Yeahhhhhhhhh!?

I accidentally took my bow off and rolled it to the ground, trying to hold my arm.

"Let me see it!

Nina changes her blood phase and rushes up to me, rolling up the sleeve of her coat.

"... good, you're not hurt badly. It will leave marks for a week or so...... I'm glad you wore a dragon scale coat"

Horrible voice color, she says, but not good at all. To great pain, I couldn't even speak.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I forgot to make a bowman......!

"It's okay, 'cause this guy was just stupid."

I finally guessed what had happened when I heard Phee say her head down as she semi-cryed. The bow string I let go hit the inside of my arm. There was nothing wrong with me when I tried it with the other bow before, but I guess my coat protected it.

Conversely, it also means that this dragon scale bow is offensive enough to unprotect the coat.

"Maybe if you weren't wearing a coat, you'd have dropped your arm."

I was relieved by Nina's pompous, leaky whine.

"Uh, uh, if you combine this with an arrow with the teacher's scales as an arrow butt... I think enhanced magic to weapons works for Warcraft even without it... if there is one, it would be better"

I see. I can only fight in the sword department in a curvy way that tells me to do melee combat with enhanced magic on myself, but if I just pull a bow, I can even do it dull. Ordinary bows would break if they were used that way, but it is possible to do so with this tight bow. If you put more enhanced magic on the arrow itself, you might even hunt dragons instead of warcraft.

"Yeah. You've done a great job with every weapon. I think this would be useful enough"

When I said that, Fee kept his expression shining and picked up a bow that rolled to the ground.

"So…… this is to be presented to the teacher in honor."

"No, that is, that………"

I don't think I need it. Nina pounds my flank with her elbow.

"There must be a user somewhere who deserves more than I do. I want you to give that bow to the brave man who deserves it."

…… I understand, I understand!

Fee squeezed her expression tightly and held her bow high with four arms.

If I used a bow like that, I wouldn't have enough arms.

That sentiment fell into the back of my chest and I nodded deeply to show it.
