Chapter 60
This Fairy Language and Fairy Spell combination is something the Forums discovered.
Some informant was teaching himself his own Fairys magic, and saying, I tried it and I did it,yo~that information was spread around. The importance of Fairy Language increased in a moment, but its not that easy to learn the Fairies magic, so there arent many who can use it.
This method of using Fairy Language to activate Fairy Spells is, since its magic learned from Fairies, a 150% effectiveness increase when activated, and its curse is close to High Magic.
Of course theres a bottleneck; first of all, the arias are extraordinarily long, and for those long arias, you absolutely have to speak in a voice loud enough for your surroundings to hear clearly. Furthermore, the MP consumption is the absolute maximum, and so you wont be able to use any magic over whats left of the maximum for some time, and the magics cool-down is at least 2 times longer than usual.
And then, the greatest bottleneck is that once you begin the spells aria, if you have more than 5 seconds of silence, activate and Art, misspeak the spell, the instant you make any one of these errors it will be treated as a Fumble, and the magic wont activate, only consuming the maximum MP.
Its a sensitive magic where committing a mistake, whether small or great, renders everything useless.
Ive been backed into a situation where I can only rely on this; I recognize the risks of screwing up, but even so, Im going to entrust everything to this final bet.
But before that, no matter how little, I must seal the Skeleton Knights movements.
Taking out my whip, I try using
Out of necessity, out of the remaining 4 bottles, I immediately toss 2 bottles of the Enhanced Oil to keep the fires burning; the remaining 2 bottles I reserve, believing that I can put up the last of the last stage of resistance with them; holding an Uncommon Potion in my mouth, its just a little bit, but I recover some HP, and with this my HP has recovered to 20%.
Id really like to buy even the slimmest amount of time, but its already at the point where if I just have to do it; if I screw up, at that point my defeat will be decided, if I get it right, it would be great if my winning percentage goes up to at least 30%, thats the kind of situation this is, but doing it is way better than not doing it. Now that Ive decided, lets begin the aria.
Oh, to the host of Fairies, I ask that thee listen to my voice, to my wish I ask thee to listen
I cant cancel it anymore; at the moment I began reciting, the maximum 60% of my MP is devoted to it. In the event that I misspeak, it will all be over; its a pressure that makes your stomach hurt, but I withstand it and continue the aria.
My supplications are together with the Fairies, together with my great desire. To the greatness of the Ruler of the Fairies I ask, to the Ruler I ask
I offer up a portion of my magical power to the great Ruler of the Fairies; for just this time, bestow upon the power of my soul your great divine protection
Clad in that divine protections and magic power, I will face the foe in front of me; I will become the power that can grant them great pain and despair
The Skeleton Knight that was held down with the flames has become aware of it; I dont have time!
With this aria I pledge an oath; the glory of victory and the honor I will offer to the Ruler of the Fairies, and so I seek the support of the Ruler of the Fairies
The Skeleton Knight closes the distance in an instant, raising the Knights Sword overhead.
Stop your aria! Obediently become my sacrifice!
In the middle of the aria I cant use any Arts, so predicting the line of the sword, I barely evade by kicking away the sword; I have to concentrate, though I dont know if this will pass on the 1st go.
My name is Earth! I am the one bestowed with the techniques that surpass the 87th Generation Fairy Queen! With this contract, this one time, I ask that a miracle manifest itself before my eyes!
The Skeleton Knight also judges that Im close to finishing my spell, and releases his number 1 fastest sword strike, swinging down in my direction; Im not going to be able avoid this one!
Even when its completed, a miracle wont occur!
I received that blow with the Secret Metal Shield on my right hand. Since I cant use Arts, I really took it with just the shield.
Of course doing so *bigi.*a dull sound occurred and the shield had a crack running all the way through it; I can tell that the mechanisms on the inside have also been largely damaged.
Because this is the first time I parried while not using Shield Arts, the shield itself took a lot of damage, and the inner mechanisms were damaged as well.
Its probably at the limit where you cant even repair it, and the Another Bow on the inside has died. I cant rely on this shield in a harsh battle, and on top of that it probably doesnt have much more durability left.
I will utter my desire here and petition the Ruler of the Fairies, for the sake of my desires!
But it will make it. Ill make it in time. Most likely, if I have to do it one more time, I definitely wont be able to. With all of my power in this one time, take this!
Bring forth true strength now and attack my foe,
Above the Skeleton Knights head, light in 7 colors rained down heavily, enveloping the Skeleton Knight.
The damage itself was removed, but the all important Bad Status infliction that everything hinges on took hold; if just the Skeleton Knights legs, even if just for a short while, can be petrified, then
But the enveloped Skeleton Knight has his left hand frozen and his right leg petrified, but his right arm and left leg are going strong; with this, I probably wont be able to pick up the X-Bow; is this as far as I go?
The moment I thought that, the Fairy Queen appeared, or so I thought, and immediately activated a magic aria.
Immediately a small blizzard occurred and enveloped the Skeleton Knight.
Queen!?
I unconsciously cried out, but right after she gave a sweet smile, her form disappeared. Thats right, an effect of the ring is that a mirage of the Fairy Queen can appear; it hadnt ever happened before now so I had completely forgotten.
I bet the Skeleton Knight wrapped up in the blizzard most likely cant see where I am.
And then, since its the Fairy Queens mirage that activated it, its not frozen where I am.
In order to recover the little HP and MP I had left, I drank 1 bottle of Uncommon Potion, used
Damn you, so what if you have the contract! How much more with you irritate me!
When the blizzard ceased, the two facing each other are the Skeleton Knight and myself. However, the Skeleton Knights limbs are quite frozen; if I dont bring it to an end before the thaw The Queens mirage came and gave me my last chance, I have to take it.
Were probably both at our limits; its the end, Skeleton Knight.
I grasp my bow tightly. Power flowed into it naturally.
Its only over for you, human.
Even with his arm frozen, the Skeleton Knight lifted it above. I have no time.
Prepare yourself!
Saying only that, I prepared myself for the final attack.
My remaining MP is also low; this really will be the last attack. The Skeleton Knight probably wont even give me the time to drink a Potion.
I immediately move to right in front of the Skeleton Knights eyes while invoking
Gunu.-
The Skeleton Knights voice sounds like hes just enduring. But from here on, lets finish it all at once; remember like that time with the Queen.
To leave the final, finishing touches, I threw the Enhanced Oil and made an explosion and with this Ive used up everything I had; my breath is rough, and I have no power left in me.
Damn you
Still fixated on that, the Skeleton Knight stood up but at that moment, he slowly collapsed to its rear. From there, gradually, his armor and shield one by one became dust.
Is it over?
If it isnt really over, I really wont be able to do anything more Facing downwards, I try to catch my breah.
Splendid; its your win.
I heard the voice I thought I wouldnt hear again, the voice of the Knight, Andre.
When I looked closer, at the site where the Skeleton Knights skull fell, there was only a single sword stuck in the ground left.

A/N: Magic
Currently, this is an Earth-only Fairy aria spell.
It bestows great damage along with several Bad Status conditions; against a Boss its unable to be effective for instant death, but aside from that it allows you to ignore 95% resistance against Bad Statuses; its a ridiculously powerful Fairy aria spell.
The greatest MP exhausted is 60% (In other words, in the time before you are able to recover, you are unable to use any more than 40% of your MP normally). Its a long aria that must be completed without a single misspoken word; it as the high difficulty where Fairy Language must be, at lowest, 85 or above, but Earth has the Fairy Queens Ring, and thanks to that he is able to make the difficult pronunciations and fulfill the requirements to use it; its the rings greatest merit.
