Episode 202 and

I once again activated the new magic with a quintuple activation. Immediately after that, I activated 'Magnetic Barrier'. A barrier was deployed after the concrete block was destroyed, scattering debris.

I was able to block the blast thanks to the barrier, but the scattered pieces hit my body beforehand. They were small, so I had no injuries.

"The barrier was not deployed in time."

[ In that case, the only thing left to d is to give it the characteristic and control the direction in which the D-Particles explode. ]

I thought about that too, but there was a limit to Life Magic where only one D-Particle primary mutation and one D-Particle secondary mutation could be added. Therefore, was added instead of .

After talking with Metis, I decided to give it a try. I used the Sage System to change the new magic D-Particle secondary mutation from to and limit the direction in which the D-Particle exploded forward.

In order to make it easier to compare the power, I activated it with triple activation and aimed at a new concrete block. The tip of the D-Particle Pile pierced the concrete just a little bit, but it didn't pierce deeply. Probably because there was no .

An explosion occurred at that point. D-Particles and the shock wave from the explosion only went forward. After the blast subsided, I checked the targeted concrete block.

A hole of about 30 centimeters opened when and were combined. However, with and this time, there was only a deep hole about 10 centimeters in diameter.

Because the direction of the explosion was limited to the direction of the tip, the range of destruction was narrowed.

[ This is a problem. If the new magic is repelled by the FortSpider's armor, you will not be able to control where the D-Particles will explode. ]

That's no good ... It would have been nice if I could have added and characteristics at the same time. In this case, what should I do?

"What do you think I should do?"

[ Let's see. What about making it explode when it gets close before it hits like 'Thunder Sword'? ]

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

I tried to think of a way to do that, but the method of measuring the distance to the monster by the movement of the D-Particles wasn't very accurate. If it exploded a little bit away, the power would drop considerably.

After thinking about it, I decided to remake it based on 'Heat Shell'. I was thinking of making the D-Particles, which were shaped like a kitchen bowl, transform like a cannonball and then fly towards the target.

When the D-Particle Detonation Shell hit the target, the tip of the shell collapsed and adhered to the target, and at that moment the D-Particles exploded.

I was thinking of controlling the explosion so that it spread forward and created a shock wave using . It seemed that among the shells of tank guns, there was something called 'Adhesive high-explosive shell', but I felt that they were similar.

I created a new magic while consulting with Metis. When I tried it against a concrete block, the moment the new triple activation magic hit the concrete block, the tip part was crushed.

The moment it was crushed, an explosion of D-Particles occurred. The D-Particles that spread forward like the light of a lighthouse and spread at supersonic speed exploded as they shattered the concrete, creating a hole in the sturdy block.

The place where it hit was a small hole, but when I checked the inside, it expanded into a conical shape. The target was a 1-meter concrete block. Although it didn't penetrate, there was a large crack on the other side, and concrete fragments were protruding from the crack. If it was a quadruple activation, it would have definitely penetrated.

The explosion sound was surprisingly small. Because it didn't penetrate, the sound only leaked from the crack.

"In the case of the first prototype magic, the hole was 30 centimeters in diameter, but why is the destructive power increased this time?"

[ For the first one, the hit location broke into a crater, so the power of the explosion must have leaked out afterward. ]

When I heard that, I was convinced.

"It's a pity that the range is only 20 meters."

When I tried the new magic with a quintuple activation, only the front of the 2-meter concrete block remained, and the rear part shattered. It was tremendous power. I named this magic 'Direct Bomb'.

This magic could be learned at magic level 16. It would be difficult to learn unless your magic talent was 'B' or higher.

I didn't try the seven-fold activation. This was because I felt that even the defense walls were likely to break in this training ground.

When I went to the Adventurer's guild on the way back from the paid practice field, I heard from Maria that there were injured people on the 5th floor. It seemed that they went to the 5th floor and encountered the FortSpider without knowing it was there.

They encountered it without any preparations, so they tried to escape, but they were cornered by a ravine and the whole team fell to the bottom of the ravine. They were able to escape, but it seemed that two of them were seriously injured.

In the team of five, there were two Attack Wizards and three Muscle Wizards. The Attack Wizards used 'Fly' to descend to the bottom of the valley, but the Muscle Wizards who only used magic to strengthen defense power ...

It seemed that the direct cause of the fall was that the FortSpider attacked the team, which had been cornered to a position overlooking the bottom of the valley, and mowed everyone down with its giant legs.

So, everyone flew towards the bottom of the valley. An Attack Wizard who can use 'Fly' was fine, but it was reckless for a Muscle Wizard who strengthened their defense to dive towards the bottom of the valley.

"But, why was one of the Muscle Wizards safe?"

I asked Maria.

"It seems that the Muscle Wizard who was safe was studying Life Magic. Moreover, they said that they were saved because they had learned 'Airbag'."

"That's good. Nn ... If there were people who could use 'Fly' and 'Airbag', wouldn't everyone have been saved if they helped each other?"

Maria made a stern face.

"If they had had training and discussions beforehand, they might have been able to respond to sudden emergencies, but it would be difficult without training."

Such is life, I returned to my apartment while thinking such. That day, I had dinner early and went to bed early. The next day, I headed to the Narukami Dungeon.

[ Are you not practicing 'Direct Bomb'? ]

"That magic can't be shot quickly. I'm going to try it out a few times in the canyon area, but that will be enough."

[ 'Direct Bomb' is the same as 'Heat Shell', isn't it difficult to create a chance to shoot? ]

"I'm going to aim and shoot while flying with the Combat Wing."

[ I see, then there will be many chances. ]
