Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 548: Going Home (2)
Boo-hoo!
The man who was a little farther away from us. Something is flying behind the man who is acting as commander and giving directions.
Bombombomb!
"What, what?!"
The assault by Nil and I completely turned our attention to the two of us. Seeing that, Heine and Pilte quietly threw the item from behind.
The one I used was a poisonous smoke ball. One seems to have come off, but the other burst into the Commander's helmet and scattered the spores of the chicken mushrooms.
Captain!
”Grrrrrrrrrrrr!”
Boo-hoo!
The poisonous smoke generated was pushed deeper into the air by the wind magic that Heine and Pilté had prepared for us.
"Don't inhale! It's the poison from the report!" Use magic to deal with it immediately! "
The commander's man has fallen, but the next man is in command immediately. After all, it was a highly trained unit. We must spread the chaos as quickly as possible.
Damn it!
There was a commotion behind us, and the shieldmen who had to let us through turned their attention back slightly.
Without missing that moment, I was stuck in front of the shields with my sick legs.
Shit!
Grrrr!!
"Guuu!"
Stuck in front of the shield, I gathered my powers on both legs and kicked the shield with all my might.
The opponent's troops were also quite skilled, with a large number, and the situation might be difficult for a while. That's what I thought, but the situation changed a lot because of Nil's Ice Pavis.
The opponent is completely unsure of how to get through the attack in front of Icepavice.
Goww!
The wizards who were holding back behind her used wind magic to squeeze out the smoke. I would have pushed it towards us if I could, but I was afraid that the poisonous smoke would spread due to the action of the wind magic of Heine and Pilté, and it was flowing diagonally backwards in a manner that did not defy the wind created by them.
Gon!!
Guhhhh!
After confirming that, Nil forcibly twisted the ice pavis into the gap I made and opened the way to life.
"I'm in the way...!"
Gong Gong Gang Gang!
"" Gaaa! ""
Nil swings his forcibly twisted Ice Pavice horizontally and flashes the heads of several shieldmen.
Rock doesn't have the power to kill with it, but it deals a few strides of impact.
Haa!
Grrrrrrr!
I instantly chase down the three people staggered by Nil's blow.
Sword moves, four claws. With a four-strike sword skill, he slashed a man with three shields and a long spear.
The shields were heavily armed, so they crushed their heads, while the thinly defended long spearmen ran their swords through their clavicles.
"Punch! Punch!"
Gin, gin, gin!
The Spearmen are coming for us, but all Nil's Icepavise is going to stop us.
I can't! I can't pass!
"Shit! Magic troops! Unleash fire magic!"
Huh?!!
"Don't let it go any further!" The shield won't stop! Stop it with magic! "
"Ngh..."
"Hurry up! My people have been given defensive magic, so it's okay!"
Even though we're in battle, the voice of the man giving us the instructions has reached us. So, if you ask me what I'm trying to do, you'll know... but it's really inhumane to try to wrap us up in flames with each of us.
Just in case, in the case of the conferred defensive magic, it prevents the impact when the fire magic hits, but it does not react to the heat transmitted from the fire. In other words, if you use fire magic here and turn your surroundings into a sea of fire, all of your people will burn to death.
This is not a possibility, but it can be said for sure.
Since I came to this world, I've tried a lot of magic. Because you can't make the most of magic without knowing what kind of behavior it exhibits and what kind of changes happen depending on the situation. In order to understand whether there was no difference from the magic used in the game and what I did not notice during the game, it was necessary to do something close to the research that I said.
Among them, I was particularly careful to investigate the defensive magic that was important to protect my life.
If I thought that it would be okay because of defensive magic, it would not trigger well, and I would be damaged by the attack. I don't want to die because of it... because I don't want to die as a miscellaneous fish.
So I noticed that there are solid conditions for the difference between reacting and not reacting in granting defense magic.
Basically, it reacts to shocks and attacks that hurt the inflicted, but there are several holes in this inflicted defensive magic. I used loopholes in various battles, but to be clear, if I wasn't magically or physically scratched, I wouldn't activate my Grant Defense Magic.
I'll tell you a little more about it…
I think that it is a mechanism whereby when a person comes into contact with a given weapon, throwing object, or magic, the given person reacts to what is judged to be damaged.
The term "when in contact" here means physical contact, regardless of the characteristics of the object in contact. In other words, even if the object itself has dangerous properties, if there is no physical impact, defensive magic will not be activated.
However, depending on the shape of the object to be contacted, the reactive or non-reactive changes.
Somehow... if the contact surface is big like a soccer ball and the contact surface is small like a needle, the minimum line for activating defensive magic is different.
As a matter of course, if you were tossed a soccer ball and a throwing knife in the same way, it would be obvious which one was more dangerous. The throwing knife stabs the body, and the soccer ball is a little bit painful, even though it leads to the worst death.
I guess this is my theory, but...
This type of defensive magic means that something like a thin magic membrane is deployed around the given person, and I think that the danger level of the object that passes through it is activated when it exceeds a certain line.
The method of determining the danger at that time is probably calculated from the shape and the speed of penetration.
A little mathematical interpretation…
The speed of penetration, the area of contact to be divided.
Defensive magic may be activated when this reaches a certain value.
The more the penetration speed, the greater the answer value, and the smaller the contact area, the greater the answer value.
The smaller the contact area... in other words, the sharper it becomes, the slower the penetration speed will react, and conversely, the faster the penetration speed will react, even if the contact area is large like a blunt instrument.
In addition, since it is a magic membrane that is generated, it reacts to magic attacks.
Therefore, defense is activated against physical and magical attacks.
It seems to be a very good magic, and it is actually excellent, but the problem is that the objects that come into contact with it are dangerous in a non-physical part.
To put it plainly, it can be a bad type of chemical or a high or low temperature object just by touching it.
For example, the strong acidic liquid we use often is a lethal type just by touching it. It has a large contact area, and even if you throw it slowly, it is chemically dangerous at the time of touching it. Because the skin will melt and burn.
However, I could not recognize the defensive magic that had been given to me.
For the same reason, attacks with non-physical hazards such as heat, cold air, poisoning, decompression and pressurization cannot be prevented at all.
If I explain to you so far, since I'm applying defensive magic, it's okay to release fire magic... but I think I can see that it's actually not okay at all.
Because it flew as magic, defensive magic prevents the contact of fire magic itself. However, if it burns and is consumed by fire, it is not magic anymore, and it turns into a burning phenomenon, so defensive magic is not activated.
And I think that both the one who is giving the instructions and the one who is trying to activate the fire magic know that.
I know, but... they're trying to kill us at the expense of their people to protect themselves.
Come here and attack at the expense of your people.
Nil and I are in a close quarters battle, so it's hard to drop a unit of wizards who are away instantly.
Heine had just disarmed the Dark Shield she had just deployed, and she wasn't ready for the next magic.
It was impossible for Surakutan to run in physically.
The only thing that Pilte might be able to deal with, considering the number of opponents, is whether or not he can successfully defend himself with a single spell...
It would be nice if I could use my divine powers to break up the fire magic and get through it well... but the opposing wizard's troops could also see the green, that is, the glowing color of the wind magic. Based on our previous failure, we are trying to raise the firepower.
Then... even if I simply slashed the flame with my divine power, it would be immediately repaired by the raging wind and flame. I slashed through the flames in front of me, and Nil and I managed to slip through the wall of flames, and the magic of Pilate managed to slip through the three of us behind me... this is the only way.
It would be difficult for all of us to make it through... I had to be prepared for some burns and be careful not to become incapacitated.
Nil! Timing it up!
Yes!
The soldiers in front of them are confused and trying to escape, but it's too late, in response to instructions from behind to sacrifice themselves.
The magic unit in the back glows red and green.
It's coming!!
That's what I thought.
Bakkin! Gagagh!
From the right-hand side, a few glittering objects flew in, which pierced through the defensive magic of the two who were about to release the magic and hit their arms.
Guuu!
The magic circle was already finished and was on the verge of being fired.
In that state, the magic circle at the launch port turned away from us and turned sideways.
It was a metal kunai that flew in.
Looking at the timing of the release of magic, I took cover from Renya, who disappeared and approached me.
I used my divine powers successfully and threw Kunai through the defensive magic.
Most of them use Grass Shield, an intermediate earth magic that is physically and magically highly defensive, among their granting defensive magic. As the name suggests, it is a shield made of glass, and among the conferred defensive magic, except for light and dark magic, it is the most user-friendly magic that can be used by anyone.
Like other grant-type defense magic, it protects those who have been granted a shield for up to five times, but it can't prevent things that are powerful enough to penetrate five shields.
And Kunai of Renya was an unstoppable attack.
Goww!
Bogaan!
”” ”” ”” Guaaaaa!! ”” ”
As the arm turned sideways, the fire magic that was fired was fired almost directly next to it, and the flames flew into the eyes of the wizard squad, and the other wizards bumped into the magic that was released and exploded on the spot.
Of course, because fire magic broke out in front of me, the wizard troops were going to be wrapped in fire, and the enemy wizard troops were going to be in trouble. Besides, because it involved other people who were trying to unleash magic, one-third of the magic circle was caught in the flame without completing it, and one-third of the magic circle emitted magic to a completely different place than it was intended to be. Inside, there were those who had thrown themselves at their feet, surrounded by a sea of fire. It looks like one-third of what's left is a good magic spell for us...
”Haaa!”
Zaah!!
When I fly my divine power, the flame wall, which is much less than originally planned, passes us to our left and right in splendid splits. Wind magic could barely be activated. It wasn't as powerful as I feared.
Giaaaaaa!
"Achiiiiiiii!"
"Use water magic to extinguish the fire!" Hurry up! "
It looks like they're trying to extinguish the fire, but the people wrapped in fire roll over the ground and stop moving.
With just one shot, I can say that it was a blow that showed how good Renya was.
"Nil! Match me!"
Yes!
Thinking that they would be hit by fire magic from behind, most of the people who escaped died from the fire. Those who did not suffer the damage of fire and those who could still fight were reduced to less than half at once, and the wizard's troops were almost devastated. If we don't attack here, when will we attack?
Damn it!
I kicked hard on the ground and burst into the middle of the enemy field with the flaming flame in my eyes.
Haaaaaaaa!
Zah! Zah! Zah! Zah!
"Gahhh!"
"Shit! Somebody stop!"
And it won't stop!
I attack, and Nil defends. If I flip an attack, Nil will enter the attack. It was a very simple collaboration, and even though it would normally be a cooperation that the opponent could deal with, it blew itself up, and the formation was messed up. Whether you attack us or get attacked by us, you can't do anything with a fractured unit.
Attacks and defenses. It just keeps flowing, and the enemy soldiers fall one by one. You can't stop me and Nil.
* giggle * * giggle giggle *
Giaaaaaa!
"No, I can't... I can't!"
Me and Nil continue to slaughter the people around us without stopping.
The appearance of the two of them attacking in place of each other would have looked like they were dancing in the flames.
We slash, Heine and Pilte follow us with their magic backup.
When we reached the position of about ten meters from the outer wall of the mansion, there were no people around us.
”I... can't... we can't stop it...”
"Run... I'm running!"
Eventually, when we got to the Wall, the people outside the Wall threw their weapons away and started fleeing.
"Don't run! Fight!"
Some are screaming to stop those who are trying to escape, but as one of them escapes, people appear one after another.
After all, those who were trying to stop the escape escaped at a time when they thought their numbers were diminishing and their chances of winning were diminishing, and all of them eventually escaped. That said... there were already dozens of them outside the walls.
"I can't believe you're trying to escape."
"Pilte."
Heine stops Pilté, who is trying to chase away the enemy.
"You don't have to chase after me." Stop chasing me deeply. "
"... yes."
Pilte calms down when he hears Heine's words, retracting the shadow owl he was trying to stretch out.
"More than that, I'll look ahead." We still have a long way to go. ”
As Heine said, we're off the property. I haven't even been on the premises yet.
The two-meter exterior walls that surround the site have holes at regular intervals, and there are signs of people from there.
However, for now, there is no sign of an attack, and it seems that they are watching our movements...
It's about ten meters from where we are to the wall. If I release an arrow, I will definitely hit you at a distance... why didn't you attack me?
Is the trap…?
"No... I don't know... I don't feel like I have any other intentions."
We pause for a moment and carefully observe our surroundings.
Above the walls, a shield with magic tools was unfolded, covering the site in a hemispherical shape. I think it's a pretty big shield, the same one that covered Nanacino's base.
It's not that hard to destroy, but before I do, I'm concerned about the movement of the people inside the wall.
On the surface of the exterior wall, something like a tree root can be seen everywhere, and I think that it was definitely installed by Nanashino first.
Bourdon-Fujolde seems to have interacted with Zahrain several times, and this wall must have been erected before.
It would be nice if it was deteriorating, but considering the time of unlocking the Friend Demon System, it didn't take long for it to deteriorate, so it seemed better not to think about destroying the wall.
As Nil said, I thought about the possibility that the trap was set up, but I saw that the people who escaped earlier were wandering in front of the wall, and I don't think the trap was set up.
If there's a trap in place, they won't be able to get anywhere near the trap.
This is an upscale residential neighborhood of aristocrats living in the city. There is no moat, and I just see the big wall.
There is no trap and there is nothing to block. I don't think there's a reason you can't help me in this situation, but... are you waiting for something...? Or are you avoiding releasing futile arrows?
If it is an attack from an empty hole in the wall, the position where the attack will come is determined, and if we decide that we can easily knock them down... If we release arrows and magic from the inside of the wall, we may not be able to defeat us, and we may be waiting until we are close enough to be able to kill. No... the closer we get to the wall, the fewer holes in the wall that can attack us, and no matter how much we know we can't defeat, I think it's more important to keep them away from the attack...
For a few seconds, I didn't move forward and watched, but there was no sign of movement from the other side.
Either way, the people we're after are supposed to be inside the Mansion, and we have to get inside. We have no choice but to get close to the wall.
If you don't have a choice, you don't have to take the time, let's go...
Gah!!
When I tried to step forward, Kunai stabbed into the ground in front of me.
