Tilea’s Worries

Episode IX: Jessica and the Beginning of the Death Game

"Mr. Tyrea, is the game really okay?

"Jessica, leave it to me. 'Cause I'm not good at fighting, but I'm good at using my head."

Mr Tyrea complains confidently, but anxious. There will be no anxiety. I can't imagine Mr. Tyrea letting them out in the game.

It's not just that enormous magic to see the demons in front of you. In his eyes, he dwells a mass of intelligence. I have no confidence that magic will use my head anyway. However, if you can compete without taking a pull, you can say no. Depending on the content of the game, there is also a good chance of losing.

Yeah, don't be weak. What you can win won't win either. Anyway, let's listen to the content of the game and take good action. Mr. Tyrea seems concerned about the content of the game. Running over to Horus,

"So, what's the game about?

Ask Horus, General of Knowledge.

"The game we prepared was called Attribute Predictive Attack (Element Predict)."

"Eleme......?

Mr. Tyrea has a pocan look at words he can't hear. I wonder if it's all right. Mr. Tyrea, can you keep up with the Horus story properly...... I am anxious.

"Explain in order. You know about magical attributes, even though they're fragile.

"Here you go, attribute? Ugh, yeah."

"And you also know that attributes have compatibility and superiority and inferiority?

"Compatibility? Advantage or disadvantage?

"What? You don't even know that?

"Yes, no, no, I know... oh, that's it. Yeah, that's compatible. Yeah, well, it's common sense."

Yeah, Mr. Tyrea is snorting, but I definitely know that face. Horus also stares at Mr. Tyrea with a surprised face.

"Hey, what is it? Ugh, you suspect? No problem. I know exactly what I mean."

"... well, fine. Attribute Predictive Attack (Element Predict) is a game that uses the advantages and disadvantages of that attribute."

"Huh. I can't pin anything. What are the rules, exactly?

"This later explanation is actually quicker for you to see. Humans, follow me."

Horus takes me and Mr. Tyrea to the abandoned cabin. Apparently the game used magical attributes to listen.

Magic attributes have eight attributes: fire, water, tree, earth, wind, thunder, light and darkness, each compatible. The fire has strong water and the wind has strong fire.

For example, slashing a warcraft with a sword with a fire attribute that has fire resistance reduces it by a few percent over its original attack power. So it is effective to use water attribute magic or weapons against warcraft with fire resistance. When fighting, Theory is one of those things that fights based on those attributes.

This is the room, come in.

When I entered the room, there was a backward smell of blood. Guh, even though I was on the battlefield earlier, I'm not used to anything I'm not used to. Forcing me to put up with the feeling that I'm going to throw up again.

"Come on. Little girl, don't you like the smell of blood? This is where the game was played earlier, the smell of the blood of its victims. Whether the losers are us or not"

……

"What's up? Don't you have any words? Your blood will blend now. Ha-ha-ha!

Horus grins brutally.

Scary. I knew the Demons were very scary. I can't believe I play games with these scary guys...

It's not just a game, either. It's a game of life and death. But would even be able to make a sober decision in the presence of demonic pressure?

I can't. It's not good for me.

But I have Mr. Tilea. No horrible enemy will frighten you. It's like the sun. I am also resolute in Horus' intimidation. I don't even have to compare it to the pitiful me that's still trembling.

Mr. Tyrea, help me!

I turn my petition eyes to Mr Tyrea, who is lying beside me.

"Hi-chi, it's blood, it's blood. It's all over there...... wah, wah, wah, oh, I'm in good shape...... oh my god, I can't do a death game. Somebody help me. Mu, Myra, it's Remilia - no, ha, ha, ha, there isn't... Jessica, help me."

Mr. Tyrea is whispering to herself about bumps. Horus and the others don't seem to have heard it, but he's been making a plea to me. The eyes of my petition and those of Mr. Tyrea's petition look at each other.

Ha, Tilea, with so much power, why do you make me look like that? It's not like she's a weak town girl.

"Mr. Tyrea, why..."

"Jessica, I'm sorry! That's right, you're scared. Even though I'm still small...... I felt sorry for myself even though I was a bigger adult. Make me anxious to rely on you...... it's okay, I won't make you look like that anymore"

That's what Mr. Tyrea says and confronts Horus. There is no earlier fright in that face.

Heh heh, weird guy. At first I thought she was a lovely sister, but as we acted together, the figure collapsed. Stubborn and childish. Sometimes they swung at me. But it also shows you an attitude like a man you can count on right now.

I don't know who he is anymore.

But there's only one thing I know.

Mr. Tyrea was motivated. I have nothing more to fear.

The fear that was swirling in me had disappeared at some point.

"Did I say Horus? It's no use making threats like that. We're the ones who win the game."

"Yes, that's the intention. Because it's a death game, and if it shrivels, the game is boring."

"So, what game do you play in this room?

"There are eight pairs of helmets and swords in this room. The helmet and sword are made to possess an attribute, and the pattern of the sword, the letter of that attribute, is written behind the helmet."

"Let me see?

"Let's be good. Check it out."

Tilea receives and confirms the sword and helmet from Horus. It was true that the letters of that attribute were listed on the sword and the helmet.

"Jessica, as he says, this sword and helmet are endowed with attribute magic?

"Yes, I'm not that good at investigating (tracing) magic either, but it does have the attributes as described"

"Yes, do you know any other signs that might give off?

"I was wondering if maybe you're okay... sorry. I'm probably only good at this kind of analysis because I'm not good at it..."

"Fine, thanks. For once, I just wanted to check to see if there was anything wrong with you."

Mr. Tilea returns his sword and helmet to Horus.

"Confirmed enough?

"Yep. So, what do you do with this helmet and sword?

"For example, this helmet has fire attributes and fire resistance. Attacking with the Fire Attribute Sword toward the helmet of this Fire Attribute does little damage due to the Attribute Effect. It doesn't change that we attack with the power of the Demons."

Horus is right, he attacks a helmet with fire resistance using a sword of fire attributes, but Keane and the metal noise just stick together, and the helmet didn't have one scratch on it.

"This is what happens when you attack with a sword of water attributes towards a helmet of fire attributes, the opposite of this"

When Horus slashed it into the helmet of the fire attribute with the sword of the water attribute, it even penetrated the iron plate that was underneath it, instead of the helmet.

This...

It is not the compatibility of ordinary magic attributes. The magic grant seems to be extremely synergistic.

"This is not the strength or weakness of normal attributes."

"Exactly. Little girl at school. This helmet and sword is a weapon made with extreme emphasis on its attributes. So even when used by vulnerable humans, the present phenomenon can be triggered"

"Is that a game with its helmet and sword?

"That's right. The helmet and armor have all attributes. It's a game where the attacking side uses their swords to beat those wearing defensive helmets, anticipating which attributes of weapons they will use against each other."

"Then it's no different than a normal battle. The Demons are set in their favor!

Ms Tyrea objected by listening to Horus's explanation.

"Don't worry, blonde little girl. The attribute ratio is adjusted for humans and demons. If you don't think about the game balance, it's a battle of knowledge."

"Yes. For once, I trust you..."

"Attacks and defenses take turns every time. And then, come on, the settlement is until the other guy breaks his helmet and dies."

"... that would be more advantageous for demons with sturdy bodies"

"I can't deny it. But you can kill him without playing a game. I want you to thank us for giving us a little chance. Besides, you're good at using your head, aren't you? If you control the reading, you can continue to use the same attribute (no damage) as well as the maximum superior and inferior attributes (critical hits)."

"You can think of other attribute combinations as the same as conventional magic, right?

"Oh, you're right"

Horus will further explain the compatibility, advantages and disadvantages of the attribute. As the word goes, its compatibility, its superiority and inferiority, is in line with that of magic.

I see, it's the same attribute (no damage) even if you hit it with a fire attribute sword against a fire resistant helmet. But as trees, soil, wind and attributes change, their damage doubles. And when you tap with the sword of the water attribute, the power of the attribute is maximized, so that you can have the maximum advantage and inferiority attribute (critical hit).

"The first opponent is Master Horus. Master Guess, the assigned assault captain, will take the opponent. Come on, when did you start?

That being said, Gess, the man with the seemingly clever face, moved forward. arrogant attitude, but had no skirmishes and appeared to have a rather tenacious personality. I think if I compete with this guy, I'll lose some reading and do some damage.

Even with a handful on the human side, I can't do it. How many Max Advantage and Disadvantages (Critical Hits) should I give to break the Demon Clan's Defense...

Depending on the contents of the game, I was going to get it out, but I'll ask Mr. Tilea here.

"Mr. Tyrea, will you come out?

"Ugh, yeah. Fine..."

Mr. Tyrea is somewhat weak. How much awesome power do you have, Mr. Tyrea, but will you be anxious before the Demons?

"Excuse me. I have no enemies (I guess) in my power to be very Demonic. With the help of Mr. Tyrea..."

"No, Jessica doesn't have to leave. As per the first meeting, keep an eye on them for wrongdoing."

"Okay. So what are you worried about?

"I just want to say..."

"Yes, what is it?

"I can't remember the rules, but, uh, what's the wood attribute so strong about?

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. Can someone lend me some paper and a pen?

Ma, well, you don't have a choice. Mr. Tyrea learned magic. I haven't tried it yet. I'm anxious all over my chest, but let's hope Mr. Tyrea has some fighting power here.
