Episode 156 and

Having acquired a new characteristic, I began to think about what kind of magic to create.

It seemed that a D-Particle Magnetic Core was necessary to manipulate magnetism. After worrying about the shape, I chose a bead-shaped necklace that was easy to carry.

The new magic would incorporate of the D-Particle primary mutation, and of the D-Particle secondary mutation. It was due to Metis' recommendation that I decided to incorporate the characteristic.

[ I think alone will only serve as a fragile defensive wall. ]

"However, I feel that even if you add , it will only make the D-Particle Magnetic Core stronger."

[ No, if the D-Particle formation has special properties, it should also affect the magic effect caused by it. ]

Metis seemed to know something about Life Magic. Maybe she was pulling out information from the thing called the Dungeon Archive.

I left the details of the magic conditions to Metis. I operated the Sage System according to Metis' instructions. This time, the magic of a collaboration between me and Metis was completed.

When this new magic was activated, a D-Particle Magnetic Core like a beaded necklace was formed around my neck.

[ Please try using it. ]

"Right. First, let's deploy a dome-shaped Magnetic Barrier to cover the body."

I deployed a dome-shaped Magnetic Barrier using the D-Particle Magnetic Core.

"I don't know if the Magnetic Barrier is deployed or not."

[ Magnetism is invisible, so try throwing a copper ring. ]

Following her words, I took out a copper ring from my Magic Pouch and threw it forward. It hit something about a meter away and bounced back.

Forwards, backwards, left, right, whichever direction I threw it, the copper ring bounced back. It seemed that the barrier had been expanded.

"I feel like something is different from the image."

[ What is different? ]

"Because it's a magnetic barrier, instead of bouncing it back, I thought it would avert the trajectory."

[ Perhaps, the characteristic may have a stronger effect than expected. ]

I released the dome-shaped Magnetic Barrier and deployed a wall-shaped Magnetic Barrier ten meters ahead.

The characteristic of this new magic was that it could form a Magnetic barrier within 10 meters in the imagined shape via thought control.

I fired a QuintHeatShell without a copper ring at the wall-shaped Magnetic Barrier that was deployed. The D-Particle shell that hit the Magnetic Barrier exploded without ejecting a metal jet.

The explosion hit the Magnetic Barrier, but was completely bounced back. At that moment, the spherical bead that made up the D-Particle Magnetic Core became slightly smaller. The D-Particles were consumed in order to repel the explosive flames of the QuintHeatShell.

The advantage of this magic was that if the enemy's attack power increased, it automatically consumed D-Particles and strengthened its magnetism.

The question was how powerful the FireDrake's flame breath was. According to the Adventurer's Guild materials, it was comparable to the offensive magic 'Prominence Nova', so I had to test it out.

The next day, I headed for the 27th floor. This was to try the new magic.

Immediately after descending to the 27th floor, I used the new magic to form a D-particle Magnetic Core and deployed a dome-shaped Magnetic Barrier around my body before proceeding.

Shortly after, I encountered a SkeletonArcher, and an arrow flew at me. I reflexively activated TripleP-Shield. The arrow was deflected by the Magnetic Barrier before hitting the D-Particle Durable Shield.

"Good, it worked fine."

[ Did you expect it not to work? ]

"It's not like that, but I was worried because I couldn't see the magnetism."

I approached the SkeletonArcher with the Magnetic Barrier deployed. An arrow flew in during that time, but was repelled by the Magnetic Barrier.

"That arrow doesn't look like it's made of iron, so why is it bounced back?"

[ It is said that all substances have some kind of magnetism, so if they collide with the Magnetic Barrier, they should be affected in some way. However, it is possible that the properties of are affecting the magnetism itself. ]

"Hmm, I don't know. It's magic because it can't be explained by science ..."

[ I don't know the specifics either. ]

Well, it functioned as a barrier, so I had no complaints. I approached the SkeletonArcher and cut it with a QuintBlade.

Immediately after that, a black flame flew. Before I could reflexively dodge sideways, it was repelled by the Magnetic Barrier. It was the magic of a SkeletonMage. I ran up to the SkeletonMage and killed it with a TripleHighBlade.

I was relieved to learn that the Magnetic Barrier could also block magic. I just didn't understand why it would prevent it. Was magic flame diamagnetic?

Thanks to the new magic, the 27th floor was conquered. SkeletonArchers and SkeletonMages dropped magic stones , so I was able to get a large amount of yellow magic stones.

I found the stairs to the 28th floor and went down the stairs. The 28th floor was a pure white snowfield area.

"It's cold. I need cold weather gear. I'll stop here for now and return."

I began to return to the surface.

After two days, I returned to the surface and headed for the Adventurer's Guild. The Adventurer's Guild was a little noisy. After exchanging the magic stones other than the yellow magic stones at the counter, I checked the reason for the noise.

"Because the country bought the land around the entrance to the Narukami Dungeon, and ordinary adventurers can now enter the dungeon."

Maria explained. Even if she said they could enter, it was limited to C-class adventurers and above. Even so, the details of the Narukami Dungeon would come to be known, so people seemed to be noisy.

Hearing that made me want to quickly reach C-class and challenge the Narukami Dungeon. In new advanced dungeons, new Magic Tools and new Magic Scrolls were often discovered.

Thinking about it made me feel rushed. However, in order to become C-class, I had to first defeat the FireDrake. Don't be impatient. First, I had to capture the 28th and 29th floors.

I returned to my apartment and gave the new magic a name. 'Magnetic Barrier'. I also registered it in the Sage System. This magic was the same as 'Boomerang Wing' and could be learned at magic level 14.
