Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 69: Magic Warfare

At the same time as the game began, Uvezd went into a spell chant.

Chanted at a terrifying rate equal to the limits of a person's slippery tongue and vocalization, it instantly strengthens Uvezd's body and gives him a physical ability that is roughly unthinkable as a human race (human).

The body belongs to the old man no matter how he sees it, it doesn't look as if he can move quickly or has power, but now the speed of Uvezd before Lulu is beyond what is insulted as being an old man, etc.

Uvezd kicked the ground towards Lulu.

The aim would naturally be to launch an attack on Lulu.

Moving at high speeds, its mouth does chant spells.

Judging from the fact that he's on his way while putting up the cane he's holding, I'm guessing he's fixing not only magic, but bars as well.

No matter how I looked at it, it didn't seem like I had it as just a magic medium, and I could understand that it was a combat technique I had acquired to fill the gap in chanting witchcraft.

The tricky thing about magicians is that they are inherently like this - they are prone to get poked in the gap of spell chanting when fighting swordsmen and other martial artists one-on-one, but the problem with that seems to be that the magicians of today understand it deeply.

So was Anku, but when I thought about growing up as a magician, if I were to be thorough with the turret, anyway, if I tried to gain high combat ability as an individual, I'd really have to go in the direction of also finishing martial arts and becoming a magic warrior.

I guess that means Uvezd chose caning as the martial arts to be repaired for that reason.

Nor can the martial artists grow up completely indifferent to the thing called magic, which must be firmly acquired, especially when it comes to physical strengthening.

In other words, warriors and magicians gradually approximate their abilities as they increase their skill to a higher level.

However, it is only natural that warriors nevertheless tend to be proximity fighters, while magicians tend to be good at distance.

Nonetheless, Uvezd will remain until the main election and be stuck in front of Lulu in this way, probably because he is an extreme being as an all-purpose magician who is not as good at what he said he was.

Lulu took such a firm hold of Uvezd's movements, contemplating in that moment how he should respond, and pulled out his sword and decided to cast a spell himself.

Uvezd looks at it and laughs at it with an eye that praises Lulu's actions.

Think calmly, Uvezd is willing to hit Lulu with both sorcery and martial arts, and even if he can handle one side, it is inevitable that he will take damage unless he manages the other.

For this reason, the means that can be taken as Lulu corresponds to both witchcraft and martial arts, which is the only way, and that is why Lulu had to hold the sword and start building witchcraft to listen to Uvezd's chanting witchcraft and cast counterspells while offering it in the direction in which the wand is thrust.

"... 'Want in the fire spirit, feed on my magic to make a small flame, wrap it up, and power and exchange... Flame Wand (Flamma Bachlma)'!

But that magic of Lulu's ear hearing was not surprisingly an attempt to directly attack Lulu.

A sorcery that grants demonic power to its own arsenal and tries to increase its aggression with it - it is a chant of the sorcery sword, and shortly thereafter, Uvezd's wand comes to Lulu wrapped in blue flames.

Lulu had his sword pointed at him in order to receive the wand, but Lulu's sword is a good sword there, but it does not have unprogrammed performance, and he does not know what would happen if he received a magic sword or something in an indefensible state.

The only way to counter it is to challenge it with a weapon of corresponding performance or with similar sorcery, but it was a little unexpected that Uvezd would use a sorcery sword, so chanting is slightly delayed.

"... 'Wish to the Ice Spirit, wrap ice and snow around my magic in food, blades and exchanges... Ice Sword (Grakies gladius)'!

Modern witchcraft-based chanting, which is an element of habit and experience, works greatly.

Lulu and the chant of witchcraft, if that means you won't lose so easily, but when it comes to the chant of modern witchcraft, they have a day long in Uvezd.

Lulu's magic has only slightly sweetened the composition.

However, it was never inactivated, and the immense amount of magic forced me to say something to it, forcing me to increase my witchcraft character and push it to be effective against the sophisticated composition of Uvezd.

In contrast to the cane wrapped in the blue flame of Uvezd, Lulu's sword, wrapped in a beautiful ice that was perfectly clear, did receive and show Uvezd's cane without putting one in its full body.

Twitching, Uvezd's wand melted Lulu's ice sword, but gradually diminished its flaming momentum and finally returned to its original appearance by completely counter-extinguishing the forces of nature wrapped around each other's weapons.

"... Hmm. Do it, young man. Normally, it doesn't end without being surprised and not being able to handle it. Because I don't know about magic swords and other young people these days."

While watching Lulu's movements from a slightly distant position, while working out his magic, he carefully prepared for the next sorcery. Uvezd's information is worth listening to and feels interesting to Lulu.

Because it used to be commonly used, but I wondered if it wouldn't be used much in modern magic.

To Lulu leaning his neck, Uvezd says.

"Non has a hobby of studying magic. Unlike Shui and others, I just like magic. So if you find any sorcery, try it, but one of the sorceries in it was a sorcery sword... It was used quite a few hundred years ago, but now I hardly see its users... so I thought it could be used for this kind of surprise."

The magic sword is quite interesting and quite powerful magic, but it has the disadvantage that it is a little difficult to configure, and the amount of magic used is a little high.

Besides, it would have made no sense if I hadn't done some martial arts to handle it, and the various elements that said so would have worked in the direction of letting the magic sword pass on.

Uvezd revived that seemingly useless magic sword, whether it was a book or told somewhere.

Quite a hobbyist, I think, on the other hand, I kind of like this grandfather who keeps trying like that.

"I like magic, too. There's nothing more unusable than a magic sword..."

When you say that with a smile without a threshold, Uvezd also looks like he's having a good time.

"Hmm... this is it. Isn't he the one who says he's a homosexual? Mm, speaking of which, I heard there was a girl who manipulated a thunderous dagger in the qualifying round... does that know the Lord? If so, did the Lord teach you the magic sword?

Perhaps you're talking about Mi.

But that's not a magic sword in the first place, the sword itself is just specially made.

"That's another magic sword... it's a magic tool that runs in response to a keyed word. Didn't you actually see that?

If you look at it, you can clearly see the difference between a magic sword and a magic sword.

As far as that is concerned, the effect is very different from that of a magical sword.

That's enough to make people black at best, Sekiyama.

That much stuff can be made by a magician without any problems, and I sell it for the price.

However, it was only for a moment that Mi used it, so it was easy to mistake it for someone who knew the magic sword for maybe.

Uvezd convinces me of my words and snorts.

"Hmmm... did I? I was wondering if you were looking... but you missed your expectations. No, I met with a user named the Lord, so maybe I can't even say yes. Besides, I have the same hobby… I'd love to talk about it after the game."

"I agree with that too..."

It is good to look into and see all sorts of sorcery, but there are still many unclear parts.

There are many things you don't understand when you ask Yumis, modern magic.

There will be no harm in saying more people who can ask questions and argue about how this is happening.

But Uvezd seems to have taken my story in addition to it and in another way.

"Likewise, magic research is my hobby, and I even fix magic swords... can I try everything else?

And so on and so on and so on and so forth.

I was wondering exactly if you had put out a magic sword as a trump card, but I don't know, he just cut one of a variety of other bills.

I thought it would be interesting to fight this grandfather until he felt at the same time how much magic he was practicing, and I snorted at the words of Uvezd.

"Use as much as you like... I'll give it all back to you just the same"

"Say, young man. Then let me join you..."

Uvezd's magic pulsed.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"A magic sword... what is that? Isn't that magic equipment?"

The king expresses surprise at that technique used in the flash of defense played out across the glass window.

Then he asked the Kingsguard knights who would refrain from entering the room.

"By the way, I ask, can you guys use that?

It was Romeo who responded to that word.

He's watching the battle between Lulu and Uvezd with his hands on his jaw, but he was also surprised by earlier technology, he seems.

Because there was usually an obvious stunner and confusion strained in his face when he was told from a smile that his expression wouldn't change that much.

"... no. Probably can't."

"Why is that?

"First there is the complexity of the composition of magic itself. Those two - they look amazingly rather mildly used, so they look like easy sorcery, but that's not true at all. It's probably easier to use advanced magic."

"Again... but then you mean rather inefficient sorcery?

"No, otherwise... it would be powerful to a degree proportional to the amount of magic used. I mean... that wand and sword-wrapped attribute magic is used for advanced magic exactly. I think that's what's condensed. This time the skill of both of them is so high, it's over without any damage against extinction, but perhaps if that wand, that sword, could have hit the walls or the floor, that would have caused enormous damage."

The more I heard, it seemed like a technology out of common sense, but according to Uvezd's story, it's so magical but close to losing it.

Quite a waste, the King thought, but if what Romeo is saying now is correct, it is a substitute that cannot be used unless the magic power, skill of the surgeon is first-rate, but also a technique that makes not so much sense if you haven't fixed something about martial arts as well, than it has to be used in conjunction with martial arts.

I'm also convinced that it might have been the inevitability of history to be so.

Then the king asks Ias.

"Can you use it?

"No, I can't either. In the first place, in modern times, the method of infiltrating magic directly into weapons is dominant, because...... I also feel it understandable that a warrior would abandon something that he cannot use without deep familiarity with witchcraft and that he cannot even try without enough magic power to use advanced witchcraft. Or it's possible that the past was a technology of depth and admiration, because what you said is something that gradually loses transmission unless the talented succeed...... perhaps that magic sword disappeared into the waves of history that way too. The magic equipment can be used as a substitute on a small scale, and then it is thought that it has gradually become less useful."

"I see... by the way, is it possible to raise just a few people who can use that?

It was Romeo who answered that.

Think a little, then shake your head.

"No... I'm not saying it's impossible, but given the cost... It would be possible if you let them train you to fix all that, but you can't help but increase the number of knights with no application. That's enough story if you let a knight have a magic knife... In the end, it's easier and more useful to raise dozens of all-purpose knights than a few knights who can use a magic sword... I don't recommend much. It may be said that it is the skill of a leading magician's hobby."

To Romeo's answer, the king nodded that it was like that.

In other words, it turns out that those two magic warriors who are fighting in front of us now are an exception and a monster.

We're going to put all that technology into action with just a hobby.

It's not something you can do if you don't have enough time or talent.

Oh such a person is not something that can be made intentionally, but happens to be, by some coincidence, something that comes into being all of a sudden, that is problematic and futile in various ways, even in an attempt to produce it systematically.

"... do you really want to draw that Lulu, the Kingsguard knight...?

It's probably useless to talk to yourself like that.

If you want to be a knight, you have so much strength, and your father is Lord Cadisnora.

There must have been as many servants' paths as there were, and would have been.

Yet he chose the path of the adventurer and didn't come out of nowhere until his presence even came out this way as an adventurer.

It is proof that Sir Kadisnora does not think of letting himself succeed and grow up as a knight either.

Forcing it to be a knight, because it's not where the king wants it.

And Lulu is an adventurer.

Even if you're not a knight, if there's something you want to leave to him, that's what you can ask for through the Adventurers Union (guild).

It is not that I dislike the country, it is a fact that can be inferred from the efforts made to save the knights captured in the incident in the meantime as well.

Sooner or later, on the pretext of some request, with contacts, the King decides to take a serious look at the game, thinking that it might not be a bad idea to have a friend.

Plus - if there's anything like him winning this tournament.

It is inevitable that you will meet yourself.

At that time, it would be interesting to ask a lot of questions.

That's what the king thought.
