There is nothing impossible in advanced alchemy. -Universal skill to match the other world-

"Mm-hmm. It sure feels that way when you're ready. Well, it's too late to die, so you should be careful. In labyrinth cities, people's lives are light."

"... That's kind of you"

"I didn't have to keep escorting the stuck carriage for long, because thanks to Mr. Marzen, hey. Even I don't want my benefactor to die."

I see.

Apparently, you thought I was a benefactor.

I didn't expect you to worry just because you lightly fixed the carriage.

"Thanks.... well, don't worry. I'm not gonna die easy."

Once upon a time... until I was only about ten years old, I also thought alchemy was just a skill in making things.

But as I studied alchemy, I knew it was a mistake.

Alchemy is a technique that can be used in all situations, both when defending oneself and vice versa...

If we use it to defend ourselves, we can cut through some crises.

Even half a serving of me is, so one serving of alchemist would be even more amazing.

"... I hope that word is true. So, have you decided what branch to dive into?

"What branch...?

Turner told me that the labyrinth seems to be in a hierarchical structure... but that hierarchy is not a main road, it seems that there are many branches.

The first branch is in three layers.

The story is that the three floors, one at the south and one at the north ends, have a staircase that goes down to the lower tier, and each of the two staircases leads to another 'four floors'.

Depending on which branch you go down, the type of demon, the materials you get, and the nature of the labyrinth also seem to vary......

Is there any other option but to go all down when you say that the materials you get are different from each other?

With that in mind, Tania opened her mouth.

"We're talking about which branches we attack primarily. There are a few branches that people are apt for… They say it's basic to pick one of them and attack it."

I see.

Suitable branches…?

If you have such a thing, you may need to think about which branches you do attack first.

Most importantly, if you have the materials you need for the alchemy you want to do, even if you don't have the aptitude to do it, you can work it out to dive in.

"Different people, different aptitudes?

"I have attributes, hey. Basically, it's a good idea to attack a labyrinth close to your attributes. I would be a labyrinth of fire...... which attribute is Mr. Marzen?

"... what's an attribute?

When he heard my question, Turner looked away.

Apparently, I've heard a lot of preliminary things.

But... I really didn't get it.

Indeed, alchemy has the concept of 'attribute'.

Alchemy to repair wooden bearings is a wooden attribute, and 'Eye of Water' is an alchemy of water attributes.

But... I've never heard of humans having attributes.

Of course, there's a difference in the attributes that people often use... but that's just a common attribute. It doesn't mean a lot.

Even people who usually specialize in the magic of fire attributes use water magic when they need it.

While I was thinking about it, I glanced at Turner - confused.

Normally, the human body is not inclined to any attribute, and the various attributes are in just the right balance.

I have trained the magic of fire attributes, and not that man himself is biased towards fire attributes.

That's supposed to be...

(... what, this unnatural attribute bias)

Turner's body was clearly leaning toward the fire attribute.

In all the alchemy and magic theories I know, it's obviously an unlikely bias - no, it's a bias that shouldn't be.

Human stomach acids, for example, have water attributes.

If a human loses water attributes from his body, the human cannot secrete gastric acid and cannot digest food.

Blood is also a fluid that combines water and fire attributes.

Human beings who do not have water attributes in their bodies will also have no blood.

A human being without blood and without stomach acid.

There is no way that such a thing can survive.

It should be... In reality, Tania lived in front of me.

"Duh... what's wrong -? If you stare so hard, there's nothing out there.

With that said, Turner takes a distance with his face slightly reddened.

Apparently, I'm distracted by Turner's body. He was getting a little closer.

"No, I'm sorry. Can you describe the attributes?

Obviously, Turner's body is in a state of contradiction to previous magic theories.

But from Turner's mouth, this seems normal.

Apparently, during the 500 years of sleep, it has even changed the structure of the human body.

"There's nothing to explain... attributes are attributes that the person has, right? There's only one attribute per person, and you can't use the magic of any other attribute, so I think you can tell by using magic..."

"... try it"

I've been studying alchemy so far, I've used less magic.

I've also heard stories about magic being more convenient than alchemy in battle... but because it was stronger (albeit half a serving) to study well than the magic of a burning blade.

I've never fought a stronger demon than "Dragon Baseralmia in the Underworld," so if I'm going to fight any more demons, maybe I need magic.

Nevertheless, magic has a magical and convenient side, so I remember the basics for once.

Do not use magic when creating materials for alchemy on the spot.

"Fire."

When I said it, I lit a flame on my fingertips.

"Water."

Now, water erupted from my fingertips.

"Wind."

A weak wind blew.

"Soil."

A small mass of dirt spilled from the flat of his hand.

There are a few other attributes, but for now it would be enough to just try these four.

Every magic can be used just like it was before you fell asleep.

We talked about only one attribute per person... what does this mean?
