Episode 136 Durability

I learned from the Adventurer's Guild that Alisa and the others defeated the Garm at the treasury. In order to congratulate Alisa and the others, I called the girls' dormitory at the Magic Academy.

I moved to an apartment and had a landline contract. Thanks to that, contacting Alisa and the others became easier.

I had Amane called and promised to meet them next Saturday.

We met at the Adventurer's Guild on Saturday afternoon and I listened to their story in the meeting room.

"A kind of 'Reflect Guard'. You got some valuable Magical Equipment."

"Grimm-sensei's black scale armor is more amazing."

Alisa said while laughing. She seemed happy to have obtained valuable Magic Equipment.

"Right. We defeated the Garm and found this scroll, do you know what it is?"

Alisa took out a scroll from her Magic Bag and showed it to me. When I saw the scroll, I remembered the scroll where the magic circle of was drawn.

The moment I saw the magic circle, the Sage System automatically started up and forcibly took in the information. It resembled the scroll.

"This might be a special scroll. Did you look what was inside?"

"Yes. But, there was no explanation at all, just the magic circle. Do you have something in mind?"

I nodded.

"Some scrolls have magic circles on them that will automatically be learned when opened by those who meet the conditions."

Alisa and the others nodded in admiration.

"Does this look like that kind of scroll?"

"I've only seen one, so I can't say for sure, but they're similar. I want to take it home and check it out, is that okay?"

Alisa and the others agreed, so I put the scroll in my Magic Pouch.

After that, we discussed the action plan to defeat the OrcKing on the 20th floor. The story went that the armor that the OrcKing was wearing was troublesome.

"Grimm-sensei, can the SeventhHeatShell penetrate the armor of the OrcKing?"

Alisa asked a question.

"I heard that the Attack Magic 'Death Shot' was able to pierce through it, so I think it will be fine. However, if you don't create a change to shoot 'Heat Shell', it's no good."

"There is one more troublesome thing. It is the Magic Weapon called spear."

Chika brought up the topic of the spear that fired magic bullets. In the beginning, I thought of using 'Ogre Push' to block the magic bullets, but I came to think that 'Ogre Push' couldn't block the magic bullets.

I thought it would be too difficult to intercept the magic bullets that were fired.

"There is also the idea that attack is the best defense, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to make the first move. Please take some time to investigate."

I decided to put the defense issue for later. After that, in order to celebrate the success of my students, I decided to treat them to a slightly expensive restaurant.

After the meal, I parted with everyone and returned to my apartment.

I was curious about the scroll that Alisa and the others had entrusted to me, so I sat down on the bed and unfolded the scroll. As expected, it was a magic formation with the same characteristics as .

The Sage System automatically started up and took in the information from the magic circle. I didn't know how long I stayed still, but when I noticed, the magic circle had disappeared from the scroll.

When I checked the Sage System, was added to the [ D-Particle Secondary Mutation ]. After researching it, it wasn't as strong of property as , but it seemed to make D-Particle formations much tougher.

Oops, I accidentally used up the magic circle entrusted to me by Alisa and the others. At that time, I regretted that I had done something wrong.

" ... It can't be helped. I'll give another Life Magic to Alisa and the others."

In that case, there were only three options, 'Heat Arrow', 'Ogre Push', and 'Pile Shot'.

"Right. I'll create a Life Magic using this and give it to them."

What I wanted was defensive magic. I wanted to create something strong enough to block the OrcKing's magic bullets.

The magic I referred to was 'Wing'. Since it would be a shield, it would be a rounded rectangle like the Riot Shield used by the police, with a length of 180 centimeters and a width of 70 centimeters.

Tall people would need to bend down, but if it was too big, it would need more D-Particles, so it couldn't be helped.

I added the property to this D-Particle Shield to make it tougher. I hesitated whether or not to coat it with magic power, but decided not to. The coating made it possible to maintain its shape for a long time, but it seemed that it would not be able to be activated with multiple activations.

Because of that, 'Wing' could not be activated with multiple activations. As a result, the amount of time the shield could maintain its shape was limited. It seemed that it could only hold its shape for fifteen seconds, but I thought that was enough.

If you received continuous attacks lasting more than fifteen seconds, you could just activate another shield just before fifteen seconds elapsed. For that reason, I made it blink after 10 seconds. Since this blinking used magical power, the characteristic was added. was necessary to change D-Particles into light, but it was not necessary to create light with magic power.

The magic was named 'Protective Shield'. When I activated it, it seemed that a D-Particle Shield was formed in front of me, but since it was invisible, I couldn't tell unless I touched it.

"I'm a little worried."

I was worried about the shield being invisible, so I decided to let the D-Particle Durable Shield glow faintly. This was also something that used magic. It created a shield that emitted a faint yellow light.

Thinking that Yukari should also be able to use 'Protective Shield', I made it possible for it to be learned at magic level 9.

I headed to the paid practice area to see how much defense it had. I rented a small practice field and went inside.

First, I decided to test the strength of the 'Protective Shield' without using multiple activations by using 'Cone Arrow'.

After activating 'Protective Shield' and confirming that a D-Particle Durable Shield emitting a faint yellow light was formed, I quickly circled in front of it.

Once the D-Particle Durable Shield was formed, its position could not be changed. At first, I was thinking of something that would move according to my movements, but that would raise the magic level that it could be learned at to '12'.

I went around and activated triple, five-fold, and seven-fold activations of 'Cone Arrow' and fired D-Particle Cones at the D-Particle Durable Shield.

As a result, although it endured up to five-fold activation, it was shot through by the seven-fold activation and collapsed.

"So it can withstand five-fold activations without multiple activations. It's defense is quite high."

I decided to try the TripleP-Shield. When I verified it with 'Pile Shot', it collapsed with a TriplePileShot. I thought the characteristics of and were the same in terms of performance, but 'Protective Shield' protected a large area, so it seemed 'Pile Shot' was more advantageous because it could concentrate power on one point.

The QuintP-Shield was pierced by the QuadPileShot. The OrcKing's magic bullets were estimated to have more power than QuadPileShot, and less than QuintPileShot, so QuintP-Shield was no good.

The SeventhP-Shield withstood a QuintPileShot. It passed. However, it was easily destroyed by SeventhPileShot, so a NinthP-Shield with a D-Particle Collector would be necessary to withstand SeventhPileShot.
