Is this really just an RPG? !

As we all know, magic is not a power possessed by human beings. It is an incredible phenomenon extended with the help of the magic net created by Anthony. The caster can only use repeated experience and understanding to make himself more comfortable in groping for the magic net, but this is not the case after all. own strength.

For humans, magic is always borrowed.

Just like the Fulgurite [Lightning Stone] cast by Emily, it is a magic released on the ground by borrowing Lindsay's power. Even if it is facing Melville who can control the earth at will, there is no possibility of being terminated. Because no existence has a higher level of determination than Lindsay as the creator god.

Therefore, the moment Emily began to chant the spell, it was tantamount to declaring that all the beings present except her were unable to act.

[But why do you need the genuine blood of the brave? 】

I found many spells with strange requirements in the library. There are two important steps in their release. On the one hand, there are spells with a certain rhythm and emotion, and on the other hand, there are bizarre materials. For example, "the young leaves of the rooting stone", "the tears of the nightingale", "the tooth decay of an angry dragon" and so on, it sounds incredible, but in fact, someone really got it.

Putting aside the issue of materials, as far as the immediate effect is concerned, Emily's magic has succeeded, and it still plays its role - the radiated waves determine all casters as "targets" and restrain them. Then the ground began to tremble violently, and stone spears grew out of the ground, piercing all the golems made by Melville, and some stone spears attacked Melville.

It is a pity that these stone spears stopped when they reached Melville.

The effect of the magic ceased.

It may be that the blood used as a medium is not enough, or it may be that Emily's own magic power has been unable to maintain the magic circle, even though its own consumption is pitifully small.

Really as to this situation?

I couldn't help but complain mentally, and I began to have doubts about the description of the ancient incantation in the book that "the magic power required by the caster is not high".

Because I saw Emily, who was exhausted, slumped on the ground, breathing heavily, trying to recover her strength quickly. But judging from this situation, she couldn't continue to release magic, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up. Fortunately, Emily's magic transformed the floor, walls, and ceiling of the hall to a certain extent, which prevented Melville from using the power to manipulate the earth to create new golems for a period of time. Also trapped in the seal formation.

"I can barely sit down calmly and have a cup of tea and talk about destroying the world... Ah bah, I mean the way to save the world?"

"If it was to destroy the world, the possibility would be even greater, but in fact, the other party can't wait to roast us."

Emily, who was memorized, made such an evaluation.

I really want to refute, and analyze to her about "how to make peace with the enemy through correct communication", but this kind of thing is not suitable for doing now, because I can see the fireball coming to my face when I raise my head, every time Each one was as big as a king of the Alexander Empire.

——I hope Lilith can forgive me for using her father as a unit noun, because it is indeed very vivid.

"Brimstone Meteor [Heavenly Fire Broken], a large-scale fire magic. The effect is to drag a huge fireball from the alien plane, and then use the 'separation spell' to break the fireball into a large number of small fireballs, plus' Covering spell', to ensure that the attack range of the fireball will not overlap, ensuring the maximum range of damage."

"It makes sense, but now is not the time to introduce it!"

At another time, I might have been in the mood to praise Emily for her knowledge.

"Ahem," probably aware of the subtlety of her speech, and after coughing a few times, Emily abruptly changed the subject, "I mean, although magic itself is like this, it's something borrowed after all. There will still be blind spots.”

"I want you to find your blind spot."

I answered her very sincerely, because I was sure that it was absolutely impossible to make difficult dodge moves to avoid the next wave of attacks with a girl.

"Pretty stupid blind spot, in front of the caster."

"clear!"

Before the fire meteor fell down, I quickened my pace and jumped in front of Melville with the help of the stone gun generated by Emily's magic, completely avoiding this wave of magic attack. Unexpectedly, Melville stopped and did not make any more attacks, but kept looking at me as a high-ranking person.

"Ants."

The low voice, which sounded like it was produced after repeated echoes in a copper bell, made people feel dizzy and nauseated. According to Emily, "the coercion of the demons is emitted through the voice", but I agree with the statement "this big man's voice is too ugly".

Even if it sounds simple.

"Ants, let's play a game."

The declarative sentence is full of commands, with a little sarcasm mixed in.

"what game?"

"Have a fight with this toy and see who is the winner."

Melville said so.

The magma on its body flowed to the ground and gathered into a magma mass. Afterwards, it seemed to be plastic, and after a bit of kneading, the magma mass became a human figure, and then came the details. After everything was over, what I saw was another me, with exactly the same body shape, face, and even the weapons on my body.

"Emily?"

"Don't think too much, it can knead clay into a living golem, so it's nothing strange to shape magma into a human, just choose you as a model. After all, it's been sealed for so many years, this brain is not very easy to use The guy probably can only remember the appearance of two humans."

"Why not you?"

"Probably because you are the one participating in the game instead of me... By the way, are you willing to fight?"

Hearing Emily's questioning, I put her down, shrugged and pretended not to care.

"I'm willing, anyway, it's not you, senior, you can beat me hard."

"... I wish you a lifetime of singleness."

"Thank you so much for your blessing."

I can imagine Emily's expression without looking back—eyes squinted, arms folded, right eyebrow raised slightly. I really want to expose her habitual actions when she is venomous, so as to express her praise, about the aspect of "being closer to children in character".

However, the Flame Demon King in front of him doesn't seem to have that much leisure.

Because under his control, the guy who was created from magma exactly like me rushed towards me with his dagger in both hands. He is much higher than me in terms of speed and strength, because it is difficult for me to catch the position with the naked eye when the opponent is moving, and every time he moves, he will leave a small hole on the ground, which is obviously kicked out by him. of.

A little bit jealous.

I swear I didn't care about my ability evaluation in the test, it was really just a little jealous.

…………

Well, I admit I do mind.

Especially when they have the same appearance but completely different abilities.

Although it's a good thing for me.

Melville only knew that I was carrying a short sword, but he never knew what kind of existence this short sword was. He probably thought it was an ordinary iron tool.

"Go away!"

I pulled out the dagger to block the clone's attack, but retreated a long distance due to the impact. But the copy body was not so good. The moment of collision, the short sword in his hand was completely broken and became unusable. The clone could only throw it away, and before I could recover, it rushed to me and was about to punch me hard in the stomach.

It was so painful that I almost cried out.

I can also clearly see the red liquid in the HP canister on the left screen start to drop and become "26/27".

——Being punched can also trigger the "HP-1" judgment. I began to suspect that this thing is just for fun.

After being hit, I grabbed the clone's wrist, turned around and slammed the back of the opponent's neck with the hilt of the dagger, and then the clone, which looked powerful and was actually very powerful, fell to the ground like this for a while. She shouldn't get up and make a fuss again... maybe? After all, such a real fake life will be knocked unconscious. Should I lament that Melville is full of creativity, or should I thank the Lord of Fire for being full of new ideas?

"How is your hand, sir?"

"It's not good at all, ma'am, can you give me a magic cure for burns?"

I looked at Emily standing aside with some mourning.

Even if it is a humanoid replica, it can't change the fact that its structural material is magma. After making close contact with the other party, only the right hand is burned, and it is not burned into a burning man. Is it an acceptable result?

"Ants."

Melville didn't really care that he lost the game.

Very bad attitude.

It's the worst possible situation for me and Emily right now.

I just spent a lot of energy dealing with the clone, and my right hand couldn’t hold the dagger stably because of the burn, even though my swordsmanship was meaningless at all; Emily, who was overdrawn by magic power, couldn’t even use healing magic, even though she was good at it His spell is completely harmless to the demon in front of him.

This makes me even more eager to fulfill the beautiful wish of "drinking afternoon tea with the current instance boss and having a friendly conversation", because Emily cannot be helpless, but the biggest trouble now is That is, her magic power is overdrawn, and it will take a certain amount of time to recover.

So all I have to do is procrastinate.

——As for why it is the current dungeon boss, I can only say that the screen on my left told me.

"What do you want to ask? There is only one chance, as a reward for victory."

Melville made me feel bad, but at least it was an opportunity. Probably Melville also needed to procrastinate for some reason. The best explanation was to gather enough strength to break free from the seal on his body. If he attacked at will, the time for breaking the seal would be extended, and if he did not take action, he might be hindered.

Maybe Melville, like me, couldn't make a free shot.

"Warren, the organization that those people in black robes belong to."

I asked without hesitation and took a few steps back, keeping Emily behind me.

"Just a bunch of fanatics."

"A fanatic?"

"You only have one chance!"

"That's because you didn't fully explain it!"

Not afraid to provoke its rebuttal because I am sure that the other party also needs this step to continue talking.

"Warren the Betrayer pulled all the existences in the heavens to this land to trigger the 'century of destruction' and achieve his purpose."

"Destroy this world? What good will it do him?"

"No," Melville denied my guess, and at the same time showed a mocking smile, "He hates everything now, and he wants to establish a new order, but before that, destroying this world is only one of the steps. "

That said, it's just a psycho who wants to play big news.

"He woke you up just to use you as a thug?"

"It's worth it as a price for breaking the seal."

There was no trace of anger in Melville.

Perhaps when it was sealed, it could still perceive the outside world, and then reached this deal with Warren. Then if I was the first to come, can I also make a deal of "sign a contract with me to become a summoned beast"?

"Ants, put away your thoughts."

"Tsk."

The feeling of being seen through every minute is not very comfortable.

"It is impossible for me to agree, because I long for destruction!"

"..."

Well, there is more than one mentally ill person, and this guy in front of him is similar.

"Surrender and destruction, make a choice, ants, I admire your ability."

Melville spoke to me in the tone of an ultimatum.

Then I took a deep breath and squatted down.

It's not to surrender to this guy who obviously has a problem with his brain, but to make way for Emily who is getting ready behind me.

"Dazzling Irisation【Glare Shock】!"

The glaring white energy was fired at Melville's head in the form of a cannonball, hitting it unsuspectingly and causing a brief stun. Melville's distance to prevent being affected by his random movements.

"I hope you like my answer."

"Yes, beautiful answer, I will also grant you the same destruction!"

With Melville's roar, the hall heated up again.

☆

Even if some of Melville's attack methods are indirectly sealed, it doesn't mean that Emily and I can confront the Fire Demon King head-on. It can even be said that it is fortunate that Emily's magic borrowed Lindsay's power, making The land in this area has been given the highest level of authority, making it impossible for Melville to control the land, making it easier for me to avoid attacking magic.

Even so, I felt a stomach ache.

In the face of a BOSS-level guy's solicitation, it is a very relieved behavior to answer with "slap in the face of the other party", and it also indicates that the relationship between the two parties is completely broken to the point of no end, so I can only bring Watching Emily dodge the fireball that Melville summoned.

Each one is equivalent to the power of a Fireball [Fireball], no singing or casting action is required, just think about it, which is enough to show Melville's authority over the flames. From this point, I can deduce one thing - for the sake of life, really fight with Melville, just put aside the things related to the flame.

Can it be considered a good thing?

"Neil, the back and sides are closed."

Since these fireballs are endowed with "tracking" special effects, and I have to pay attention to the uneven ground under my feet, it is up to Emily to judge the trajectory of the fireballs. According to her description, there are at least three fireballs coming from three different directions, and if one is unlucky, one will appear right in front of her.

"Neil! Ahead!"

"...I knew it, hold on tight."

Seeing the fireball flying over my head fall directly in front of me, and then slammed into it, I immediately stopped and said hello to Emily, and when the fireballs around me approached, I activated the skill [Flash] from the siege In the middle of getting away, the four fireballs had no time to change direction, and directly collided with each other to cause an explosion, forming a large crater on the ground.

With my back against the gate of the palace, I panted heavily, recovering the unpleasant feeling brought by the teleportation.

"Is the comfort level of space magic so bad?"

Not only me, but even Emily complained.

"Probably because the spell was intended for one person?"

"Almost, that terrible feeling of squeezing the water pipe, should I be glad that I am a child, so I didn't get stuck in the water pipe with you... Wait, what will happen if I really get stuck in it?"

"Can you curb your thirst for knowledge at a time like this?!"

As soon as I finished complaining, I thought of the possibility Emily mentioned, and I couldn't help but shudder, and I added my guess by the way.

"Maybe half of the body is at the teleportation point and the other half is at the target point?"

"A master of dismemberment."

"Non-subjective factors."

"The culprit."

"excusable."

"You will be sent to church. I hope it's not burned to death. Generally, victims are choked to death, not burned to death."

"In fact, the church will not target the brave, they will only tolerate the brave."

"Tsk, class enemy."

"As you said."

No logical conversation at all.

Why would this woman consider accusing me of some kind of perverted murderer at a time like this, besides [Flash], most of the space magic is only used by me, even if it really caused the body to be divided, it would only be divided by myself ! Is this also going to be burned at the stake?

Wanted to throw her in Melville's mouth. At least I can easily use space magic to escape from here. Anyway, the seal here has not been completely broken. I just need to apply a bigger seal to this place after leaving, just like what I did in Ingrid Prison. Similarly, cover the original seal and wait until there is a way to deal with Melville before solving it.

…………

Wait a moment!

seal?

"Senior sister! Is there a way to get this guy... eh! Bah, bah, bah! I mean to seal Melville back. The sealing array on him hasn't been completely broken, so it shouldn't be too difficult... right?"

The gust of wind caused by the explosion of the fireball made me eat a mouthful of dirt. I don't know if Emily heard what I said.

But I'm sure she guessed what I meant, because I clearly felt a pain in my left shoulder.

"You also said 'right', why ask even if you're not sure!"

"I haven't studied the knowledge about seals carefully!"

"It's the most troublesome thing to repair the sealing magic. Not only must you fully understand the spell itself, but you must also completely suppress the target to the point where you can't resist, or release it completely. Otherwise, when the opponent is struggling, it is very likely that the spell will appear. Some errors caused the entire technique to be completely destroyed."

It sounds like you're talking about a cage broken by a wild beast, which needs to be stunned or moved to another location to fix it.

Thinking about it carefully, there is no difference between the sealing technique and the cage used for detention...

No wonder I can't always learn the seal, because I have a wrong understanding of the essence of the art.

I always thought that the sealing technique was actually to make the target lose the ability to resist. In fact, those are specific spells added after the event according to the specific target. The basis is just to create a cage for the sealed target to hold.

"I see!"

"What?"

"I finally understand the principle of the sealing technique!"

"Although I really want to congratulate you, don't you think now is not the time to think about this kind of problem? Idiot brave!"

Emily not only yelled in my ear, but even pinched my cheek with her hands. Fortunately, she still remembered that she was in a state of fleeing for her life, and she didn't pull too hard, it just hurt a little.

"I can analyze the sealing technique and prepare for re-sealing Melville, but you need to ensure that I will not be disturbed during my work."

"Unless this guy can't release magic..."

"What did you think of?"

I didn't answer Emily's question right away, because I felt a pretty good idea flashed in my brain just now, but it was for a moment, and I had to pay attention to avoid Melville's attack, so I didn't follow up Thinking about it, it takes a while in retrospect.

Start by finding a source of inspiration.

According to my previous self-talk, it should be "there is no way to cast magic".

To prevent a guy who can control the flames at will from releasing magic, the most direct way is to put Mana in this area into a state of decadence, just like what Ingrid Prison does for prisoners who are spellcasters. The method is the same—the Mana inside the prison is in an unimaginably sluggish state, and it is difficult for even a powerful spellcaster to gather Mana in Ingrid Prison, making it difficult to cast magic.

I'm better at creating "mana's violent area" than making "mana's decadent area".

The method is to release the super law magic Overclocking Resonance [Overclocking Resonance], through a series of chain reactions, let the mana in an area enter a high-frequency active state, which is the so-called "crazy". So think about it another way, what if I use the magic in reverse?

"Well... I seem to have a solution."

"What way... Shining Burn【火光】!"

The enchantment filled with light and heat blocks and absorbs Melville's magic to strengthen itself, but judging by the gap between Emily and Melville, this enchantment will not last long, and it will be broken due to overload .

But when did she learn it?

"The magic scroll you used last time."

"You can see it once?"

"Look at it once."

"WTF!"

Why are there always talented magicians showing off their speed of mastering spells in front of me, a brave man who has magic power but can't release magic properly!

"That's not the point! Tell me what you think of!"

My face was badly deformed under Emily's ravages. It didn't affect the vision, but it really hurt, although there was a big reason for it that I was dying.

——Possibly, it is the nature of the brave to die?

"Senior sister, do you need Mana around you when analyzing the seal?"

"No, just use a few simple spells directly."

"Then... you know my super law magic, right! I was thinking, if I can recite the mantra in reverse, can it make an area into a state of forbidden magic?"

"sounds good."

Judging from Emily's expression, she seems to be thinking about this method very seriously.

"What is the success rate?"

As I didn't trust myself, I immediately questioned the genius magical girl next to me. The other party did not give an answer, but jumped off my back, glanced at me with a very subtle expression, and then took out her staff that was surprisingly large compared to her current body.

"I don't know, but you only have one chance, so hurry up! I'll help you hold Melville!"

Shining Burn's protective barrier began to tremble, and it could no longer bear it. Even if its excellent characteristics made it more durable than other barriers when resisting Melville's attack, it could not change its limited load capacity. , there is a certain reason why it can be maintained until now because Emily has partially modified the spell.

Before the barrier collapsed, Emily took the first step.

The staff was stuck on the ground, grasped with both hands, and a magic circle was opened under the feet.

"Energy Conversion [Energy Conversion]!"

The surrounding flames were transformed into light under the catalysis of magic power, and then gathered at the top of the staff.

"Dazzling Irisation【Glare Shock】!"

The converted energy was magnified several times under the blessing of the staff and shot out, hitting Melville's head like an energy bombardment. This attack was not as sudden as before, but it was much more powerful. Melville He fell into a state of dizziness completely, and even had to support the ground with his hands to maintain his figure.

"Neil!"

"I see!"

Withdrawing the short sword, crossing his hands and pushing it forward, a magic circle spread out under him.

"Activate magic power."

"Destroy constraint."

"Develop the magic circle."

"Element charging."

"Establish the conceptual structure."

The first is to activate the spell, inject its own magic power into the magic circle, and activate it.

Next, we need to add a spell.

——At this moment, I am very fortunate. I have read "Reverse Spell" in the library, which is called "weird talk" by most students. It mentions the conjecture that reverses the effect of a certain spell.

"Activate defense incantation for magic circle"

"Activate buffer incantation"

"Activate inversion incantation"

"Conception, reverse"

Everything is ready, the next step is to chant the mantra of Overclocking Resonance [Overclocking Resonance] completely in reverse. Because the incantation of this supernatural magic is a common language, it turns into a very strange pronunciation when it is reversed, just like the sound produced by the friction between metal and metal.

Even as a spellcaster, I can hardly bear it anymore.

Fortunately, this magic spell is not too long.

"Ecnanoser Gnikcolcrevo!"

He smashed out the magic power that was shining with white light in his hand, causing a shock in the entire hall.

The shock came and went quickly, as if it had never been there before.

But I'm sure the makeshift magic worked.

For there was a tinge of fear in Melville's voice.

"You, what did you do! Ants! What did you do!"

"Let this palace become a forbidden place, stupid demon king."

Emily said so, and seemed to raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
