Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 302 In the Darkness (2)
After defeating some, I could not hear any noise from the surroundings, and I decided that I could defeat nearby enemies.
Then we'll start going down the wall again.
Fortunately, no monsters appeared on my feet since I started going down the wall.
It should have gone down a few kilometers from the surface, but we still don't see the bottom.
"Are you sure the doll is safe from falling to this height?"
"Auntie Arten said she was sure, so I think she's probably fine."
"Auntie Arten doesn't tell lies, even though she has bad mouth."
"Well... when we get here, we have to get down to the bottom."
Looking up, the light at the entrance and exit already looks small.
And then, slowly, slowly, slowly passing down the wall...
"Looks like there's something else."
Petro will stop moving and signal us to stop.
"Who's next?"
"Hmm... I think that's it."
Petro pointed down and pointed his finger.
Looking down, you can see some small light in the dark.
It doesn't look good from here, but it's probably not stuck to the wall, it's drifting in the air.
Looking closely, it emits light in three colors: red, light blue and blue, which is pretty pretty like illumination.
"Are you a monster...?"
"... maybe... that's a helmet light?"
Everyone looks at each other in Donnate's words.
Hell Light is the name of an S-rank monster and is a monster to watch out for.
I've never seen it, but if you're a monster I've heard of, in a word, it's a super big Krione.
What a length it is! It is three meters long and it is completely bigger than people.
However, the Hell Light is able to drift through the air and is a monster that keeps drifting like a sleeve (sleeve), like a wingspan, fluttering and swaying.
In order to prefer dark places, it seems that they settle deep in dark caves, etc., and prey on those who come near by the light.
The whole body is made of something gel-like and translucent, and the physical attack is almost null.
A magic attack can be effective, but Hell Light is also a magic specialization monster and will shoot bang magic.
If you encounter them in a cave, it is advisable to retreat immediately.
Don Nate said that the distant light was such a dangerous creature, so he looked at his face and wondered if there was such a bad luck.
"If we had a stronger scaffold, we'd be able to fight quite well... but if we went down and fought like this, we wouldn't be safe..."
Then why don't we magically attack from here?The opponent is downstairs, and if you let it go, it will fall with gravity...? "
"Even if I can defeat it, it's like two or three.If the rest of the Helllights shoot all at once, we have no escape.
If we get a bad stimulus and fight in a bad scaffold, we're overwhelmingly disadvantaged, so I hope we can avoid the fight. "
"Do you want to go down with a hole in the wall?"
"We don't know the distance to that light, but if we drill a hole in the wall from here and drill down... we don't know how many days it'll take.It takes a lot of magic, and it's not realistic. "
"When that happens, I can only think of something that slips through the side.
I don't think that's realistic... "
"You can't just slip through it.It seems to be a light-sensitive monster, so if you turn off the light... it can't be that simple for a S-ranked monster... "
We make scaffolds and twist our heads once.
Given the equipment you have, it would be impossible to ignore the Hell Light and go through it.
If it's possible, I'll wipe it out with the magic of the Holy Spirit...
However, if we release magic similar to the Big Bang in these holes, it is likely that we will be buried alive.I wish there was another way...
"Master, is Hell Light a creature made up of tissue similar to a slime?"
"I've never seen it before, so I don't know if it's clear, but I think it's probably a creature made up of similar tissues.
However, I think that floating in the air is a much scarcer organization than slime. "
"Thin tissue... is it like fog?"
"I don't know... I heard it was a gel, so maybe it's more like a membrane."
I don't know if it's like balloons or vinyl or foggy as Nil says… I won't look at the answer.
"If you have a lot of moisture, can you do something with Master's lightning magic or my ice magic?"
"Ice magic... sure, that might work out depending on your ingenuity."
It is said that the Hell Light is S-ranked because physical attacks are ineffective and it is difficult to inflict heavy damage with existing magic, in addition to the high amount of magic.
Fire, water, tree, earth, wind... Of these five attributes of magic, the most effective magic is said to be fire magic.
Because tree and earth magic are attacks near physical attacks, the effect is weak, and the wind magic is fluffy, so it is not well hit.The thinnest effect is water magic, not to say no damage, but only similar effects can be expected.
I don't know about the special two attributes of light and dark magic without information.
It means that you are a light-sensitive monster, and you feel the possibility of light magic... In this darkness, if you use extra-large light magic, the light will illuminate the ground crack and wake up the monsters you don't have to wake up.
The length of the crack is about 500 meters.I definitely want to avoid fighting all the monsters in it.
I don't want to use fire magic if I can do it for the same reason.
Dark magic is the only way to clear those conditions.
However, in a single blackmagic shot, there is not enough firepower, and it is difficult to eliminate all the hero lights that appear below.
I was stuck with the idea, but Nil and I are getting the magic of a new attribute.
And if the tissue that makes up the other person's body is something like moisture, both are likely to be weaknesses.
However, considering that it emits light, you can't use lightning magic.
As a result, ice magic will most effectively silence the opponent.
I practice lightning magic and ice magic every day, so both Nil and I remember some new magic.Advanced Magic is not unlocked, but can be used with intermediate Lightning Magic and Ice Magic.
It's not an opponent that can be defeated with intermediate magic power, but by adding ingenuity, it's possible to defeat them all at once...
If it ends up underdeveloped, release the Holy Spirit Magic once down and use it again to get out before the monsters gather.
This should not lead to a situation of total octagonal blockage.When you go out with the magic of the Holy Spirit, I wonder what happens to the monsters I've seen so far, but living in such a dark place should mean that you don't like the sun's light, and you won't chase me out.
However, judgment must be careful when using the magic of the Holy Spirit, as the earth crack itself may collapse.
"What? Did you come up with any good ideas?"
Petro noticed my conversation with Nil, and I'm getting closer and closer.
"For the time being, there is no plan that could be a solution."
"What?! What's the plan?!"
Tell Petro's voice that because everyone turned towards me, I can use ice magic first, and maybe it can be used as a breakthrough solution.
"Ice magic..."
"I've never heard of such magic.
Is it true that Sinya and Nil have everything? "
"I didn't mean to do that on my own... but I had a lot to do with it..."
"New magic in our way... No, that's not the case right now.I'm already Shinya... and I'm convinced.
Rather, I wonder how to crush those glowing monsters. "
Little by little, it feels like the response to me is getting more and more cluttered...
"I don't know about ice magic, but is it simply magic that produces ice?"
"No, it's not that magical.
You can simply generate ice and shoot it out, but one way or another, it's the opposite of fire magic.
The magical heat of fire does not create fire, but warms the air.
Conversely, ice magic has the magic of cold, which cools the air.
In other words, the magic of producing ice is more expressive than the magic of cooling. "
To be precise, even if there is no fire magic, no ice magic, and there is nothing underlying it, I think there is no mistake in the magic of producing it because it can produce fire and ice.
Fire is only an oxidative reaction, and if there is no source of fire, it cannot naturally appear.
Ice should only be produced by cooling water, but it is created instantly.
Because it is a phenomenon that is not scientifically possible, I think it is also a magical effect.
In other words, the effect of cooling or heating and the effect of producing, the magic with these two effects, will be correctly described.
However, when explaining it to Nil, what is oxidative reaction in the first place... and you have to give a full-scale chemistry lesson such as oxygen and bonding.That's why I concluded that it's magic to cool it so that it's sensorially easy to understand...
After all, I told Nil that it was magic with both effects... but I didn't understand exactly how it was different, so I told him to think like that.
And one day, even when you have time, you might want to talk about atomic theory as nil.Nil is smart, so you'll soon understand.
"In other words, can you cool them directly and freeze them...?"
"Yes, in fact, intermediate ice magic called freeze can freeze the opponent directly.
However, I can only use intermediate ice magic, and I don't know how effective it is at hero lights. "
What is the effect range?
"That's right... Freeze magic is a magic against a single body, but Freeze Field's intermediate ice magic is range magic.Perhaps... I can get all the Hell Lights down there in range.If you miss the timing, it may not be good... "
Hell lights are fluffy and keep moving slightly, so if you release the magic at the most distant position, there is a possibility that an individual will appear out of range.
"Ideally, you should knock it down at once, so use it on the freeze field."
"Yes, but the wider the area, the less powerful it will be.
You'll never know if you can magically defeat an opponent you don't know if you can defeat with a freeze. "
I checked the effects of all the magic I learned, but both ice magic and lightning magic seemed to have a higher killing ability than other attributes.
Lightning magic naturally shocks you, but ice magic is also pretty strong.
I tried the magic of freezing on monsters and found my whole body completely frozen.Until then, if I was told that the opponent's monster was low in rank and not highly resistant to magic, I think it would be instant death magic if used on people.
The freeze field also took longer to freeze the target than the freeze, but it was strong enough.That's why it's possible...
"We've never fought a Hell Light before, so we don't know how much of that magic works..."
In the end, there is no answer as to whether it really works without the information on the Helplight.
"If I turn back, here I am."
"I see... there are about ten S-ranked monsters.Scaffolding is bad and I don't know if I can defeat it.
It would be here if I pulled it. "
"But...."
"Oh, I don't think there's anything else I can do when I get here.Because we can't take any measures until we know the ecology of the Hell Light. "
Apparently, the five Eagle Crows chose to move on rather than go back.
This kind of place makes you feel like an S-ranked adventurer.
A place you'll never get to for a party that keeps moving. That's S-Rank.
They have a reckless temper to jump into a dangerous place.
Naturally, if the odds of winning were zero percent, they would turn back.But if the odds aren't zero, you bet on it.
"For the time being, it may hurt to die, but I can prepare a way back up."
"If it hurts as much as you die, you don't have to get lost anymore."
I see.
All five Eagle Crowe nodded as they decided to go.
"Alright. If so, how do we defeat the glowing monsters below?"
"Think of anything, Sinya?You know more about ice magic than we do. "
"That's right...."
I've been thinking about it for a while, but there aren't many ways to come up with it.
"There are two ways to come up with it.
The first is to attract them one by one and crush them with ice magic.
It's simple, but if it works, it's easy to handle. The problem is... "
"How do I lure you one by one..."
"Ah. I'll shoot in magic, I'll shoot in a bow... There are many ways, but I don't know how to definitely lure them all.
In the first place, it is not attracted, and there is a possibility that magic will suddenly come in. "
"If that happens, it's not about ice magic."
"But perhaps the most realistic thing to do is not know if ice magic works.It would be better for us to come over than to come from here. "
What about the other one?
"Among the items I have right now is a ball of water.
It's an item that releases the moisture accumulated in it all at once. "
When I made the strong acid balls, I also made some mold balls containing just water.Maybe it could be used for something.
Especially, it seems to be compatible with lightning magic and ice magic, and it won't be wasted.
"Throw this and fill the area with water.
Tana, Promerte, I'll use water magic. "
"Filling the area with water... in the air?"
"For a moment, Nil activates ice magic and freezes everything."
Ice magic is more powerful than simply producing ice to freeze water.This has already been demonstrated.
In other words, I don't know if the freeze field alone can freeze the hero lights, but if there's a lot of water there, maybe we can freeze all the water...
"I mean, do you believe in ice magic, bet on it, or trust me to come closer and lure you out..."
"That's what I'm talking about. What do we do?"
The five Eagle Crows look at Nil and me after they face each other.
"Believe it or not, Nil's magic depends on the behavior of such a fluffy monster."
"I'm not lost."
"It's settled."
We've decided to bet on Nil's ice magic, and we're going down the wall again to get closer to the Hell Light.
As the opponent is sensitive to light, the lantern light is extinguished and travels down into complete darkness.
The only sound you hear from time to time down the rope dominates your senses.
As the appearance of the hero light gradually increases, you can see it well.
Translucent, gel-like body tissue.The red, light blue light that is moving around the surface.
Looks like Krione, but his face?There is light gathering in parts like, and it seems like you are telling me to aim for it.
When the Hell Light, which appears to be in a remote position, floats with fluffiness, some monsters come closer to it, whether it's attracted to light or not.It's too dark to know what kind of monster it is....
Bathroom!
As soon as something like a nearby monster approached the face, it sounded like a strong slap on the water surface, and the monster disappeared.
It seems to have been preyed on, and I can see it struggling inside the hero light, but there is no way out, and I can't move a little bit.
The way to prey is as if it were an anchovy.
Having reached the position where we can see the hero lights, we check each other with the light of the hero lights, which we can see slightly, and quietly create scaffolding.On top of that, a domed lid keeps the light and sound from leaking, and then lights up inside.
"It was quite a battle..."
"I don't know what I ate, but I don't like that second dance."
"But we're so close."
"It seemed like a body with a lot of moisture... but you still have to try it."
"I don't know, let's do it with Dawn at once!"
"I... am very responsible..."
"It's okay! Sinya is here, and it may hurt worse than dying, but she's going to let me out!"
"... I'm afraid it hurts as much as I die, so I have to make sure to decide."
"I trust you! Nil-chan!"
"I'll do my best."
"That was one case on Ouka Island, but I'm sorry to push for an important role, Nil."
"No, it's an unexpected pleasure for me to have such an important role.I will definitely succeed. "
"Oh, please."
Yes!
Nil takes out two pins with red and blue jewelry from his waist, wraps his hair together, and ties them up so that the pins become "X".
Donatee, Saddle, and Petro will be given polka dots, and me, Tana, and Promerte will start drawing magical formations.
"Are you ready?"
Everyone nods with cockroaches.
Now!
Zugan!
At the same time as my voice, Donnate quickly destroyed the domed lid.
