Chapter 567
I shut up and showed my hostility, so I killed them all, but honestly, I was worried about Carl Kansi’s reaction to the werewolves.
Even in the previous life, werewolves were classified in so many different ways. Where is the curse, and where is the race, we can’t ignore the possibility of treating them as the same kind from the point of view of the beasts, right?
But fortunately he didn’t mind.
“If I had to put it that way… they’re not Cerro Lipiti’s offspring, but they feel more like wolves who have become monsters or other races that have been cursed. In fact, even if they’re of the same kind, if they rush to shut up and kill you, it wouldn’t be right to react accordingly. Customers and thieves don’t fight while taking care of themselves.”
Carl Kansi, who calmly continued his meal with a convincing explanation in one shot, was indeed a civilized man full of common sense.
“But it’s a little strange. As Carl Kansi said, werewolves aren’t the ones that increase in population in a general way.”
“is it so?”
“It’s just as he explained. It only appears when something close to a curse works. It’s like a plague that grows a group in the form of a curse transferring through wounds.”
And it never happens naturally. Emmet’s explanation was that it was correct to see it as a trace of an evil spirit or something related to the devil.
“This is true, in the past, it would have sounded like a distant story even if I heard it.
“That’s what I mean. Anyway, he’s an unpredictable employer.”
The two of them shook their heads while laughing haha haha. For some reason, they seemed convinced that I was already involved in the case of being the culprit of the werewolves.
I wanted to refute it confidently, but now I’m starting to have doubts about my own abilities, so I just give up neatly and switch the topic to the spell used on the rail gun that Emmet showed me before dinner.
“Rather than that, what is the technique you showed me earlier?”
The magic I composed was never at a level that could produce such an output.
Even if you adjust it to the maximum you can do, you can’t perform a penetrating eccentricity even if it causes a werewolf’s heart attack because you put your hands on the line. Its power was altered with only one spell that Emmet intervened and added.
Based on the magical knowledge I’ve learned so far, no matter how hard I try, I need five spells and more mana to match even half of Emmet’s performance.
“That’s it? It’s just an improvisation. It’s an application of the mana runaway that I used when I faced you in Rebear.”
“Yes? You wrote something like that then?”
“Why, you blew away part of the castle. That’s what I’m talking about then.”
Unlike Emmet, who explained it as if it were natural, I had to collect countless hooks in a short time. No matter how much I try to remember, I can’t even find a clue.
Emmett, who understood my feelings just by looking at my expression, continued his explanation by memorizing the appropriate spell and then showing the process of deliberately turning the flow of magic power and continuously exploding it.
“The sub-spells are close to raw without any special corrections, so if the interference is not stabilized, it will lead to an explosion unconditionally. This is usually inefficient compared to the amount of mana input, but this also comes from a bad spell. received.”
“…The magic power used in the amplification ceremony was created by the ancestors instead?”
“Fun analogy, and that’s right. That’s why you used your spell. With a simple enchanted coin in the form of an outside intervention.”
“Oh…”
It seems that even that coin was not an ordinary coin. After listening to additional explanations, I definitely understood. However, as if that wasn’t the end, the spell continued to fail with small explosions on Emmet’s hand.
“But it’s not practical as an attack magic. Right now, as you said, it’s a business that loses money considering the magic power used in the amplification ceremony. In order not to do that, you must steal the opponent’s spell, but if you go that far, it’s the realm of dispel.”
“Isn’t it amazing power for something like that? My heart was pierced as if it had been pierced by an arrow. The spell I chanted didn’t produce that kind of result.”
As I pointed to the werewolf still lying behind me, Emmet’s gaze turned to it. With a hole the size of my index finger pierced, I thought that a magic rail gun might really be completed, so I asked again to confirm, but the answer that came back was still negative.
“That’s possible because it’s a monster that doesn’t know magic. Even if the opponent was wearing only the lowest level of anti-magic shield or arrow shield, the result would be far worse than casting a spell with the same amount of magic. You know. . Even if there is no hole in the chest, there are various ways for a living creature to die.”
In the end, like a magician, efficiency was the problem.
Fortunately, I was able to understand Emmet’s words thanks to my hard study, and this time he also nodded his head naturally and came to a conclusion.
According to what I heard while arranging tableware, it was said that the purpose of the magic was to create gaps by interfering with the enemy’s magic from the beginning and giving physical damage.
After hearing that they had been contemplating every day from Rebear to here for that one railgun that seemed to have achieved maximum effect with really little effort and spells, I realized that wizards did not prefer magic that was set in the curriculum for nothing.
“Obviously, when we first met, I was a natural warrior, but now I’m a wizard. I wonder if an ignorant fistfighter will live in sorrow.”
While saying that, Carl Kansi, who had been giggling and enjoying the privilege of being a cook and lying down to rest while cleaning other people’s dishes, suddenly changed his expression.
“Guest, is something else coming?”
“Yeom disease.”
The senses enhanced by hemolysis subtly tired people and consumed their nerves, so I didn’t notice it because I had it in off mode until I got used to it. As I focused my nerves belatedly, I faintly heard the sound of animals approaching at high speed, as if they were breaking through a thicket.
However, since I am still not used to grasping something through this sense, the accuracy in the open air is seriously degraded. Eventually, after a brief moment of concentration, I quickly gave up and decided to ask Carl Kansi.
“What do you think it is? A person? A monster?”
“Bipedal walking. Heavy steps. Usually, monsters of that size are intelligent, but considering that they are strangely fast, there is a high probability that they are human.”
Of course, the person here was a demon with a probability of over 90%. Carl Kansi, who had judged the situation faster than I could click my tongue, didn’t change his posture, but rather pretended to be more relaxed.
“Guests first hide magic and divine power. Those, it’s clear that they saw us making a fire and were approaching. Since we’re still far away, they wouldn’t have been caught.”
Carl Kansi was also a great guide, not forgetting that my purpose was not an armed conflict with the demon king’s army, and quickly giving advice according to the situation. How many minutes had passed, as he advised, sitting and pretending to take a break, looking in the direction of the approach of unknown people.
We began to see ten demons approaching us through thick bushes and trees. Then Emmett, who took a good look at the outfit that anyone could see was clearly dressed in a ceremony, said sullenly.
“You must be a soldier. It seems that the reconnaissance range is wide.”
“I can’t do that…”
Carl Kansi tilted his head and muttered strangely, but unless he was a deserter, that’s a soldier. Please, I wished you were an adventurer.
Obviously, I moved a considerable distance from their base, but I couldn’t understand why I ran into them, but it had already happened. I was contemplating whether it would be better to sit still or pretend to get up and check, but Carl Kansi, who was lying calmly, took action first.
“Hey, brothers! What are you doing that’s why you’re running like that! I’m scared, so I’d like you to stop!”
Carl Kansi’s acting, waking up and shouting loudly, is very natural. At first, the demon king hesitated when he heard his voice, but soon after, when Carl Kansi stood up and appeared, he was visibly relieved and answered.
“We are the demon army stationed nearby! Suspicious smoke was caught and we approached to confirm our identity! Who are you guys!”
“Who is it? Adventure! More than that, are you guys really the Demon King? Why is the Demon King here?”
“There is also a way to prove your identity! We want to approach and prove us and hear your story, so please cooperate!”
If it had just been pushed in, he would have insisted on self-defense, but it is useless and standard. But Carl Kansi reacted very naturally, without any sign of embarrassment.
“Can’t we just throw that proof method at a reasonable distance and show it? You seem like there are ten of you, but we’re three!”
“It can’t be! This neighborhood is at war right now! If you don’t respond, we have no choice but to take a hard line!”
“No, a war in some kind of demon…”
What to do?
After diligently rolling my head next to Carl Kansi who asked me with my eyes, I got up and raised my voice instead of Carl Kansi.
