Episode 236 - Organization and Dispersion Deterrence

Episode 236 and

I activated the Sage System and focused on the D-Particle secondary mutation. Then, I felt that I could select other characteristics, so I tried to select and via , but I couldn't.

"I wonder if there's a different way of doing it."

[ What's wrong? ]

I explained that I failed to use Organize.

[ Maybe Organize can only be used in the process of creating magic. ]

I began to create new magic based on 'High Blade'. First, I changed the shape. The 80 centimeters at the tip of the V-shaped plate, which had a sword-like shape, was made one size larger, giving it an overall Glaive-like shape. The shape was devised and adjusted so that multiple activations were possible.

Just like before, I selected and via and added them to only the 80 cm part of the tip that changed shape.

"I was able to grant it. It seems that what Metis said was correct."

[ Can you use Organize and give the D-Particle secondary mutation characteristics to that magic? ]

"Let's try it."

I selected and via and gave them to the entire Glaive-shaped formation made of D-Particles.

As a result, an upgraded version of 'High Blade' using the characteristics of , , , and was completed. I named it 'Blow-up Glaive'.

I had always wanted to upgrade 'High Blade', but I hadn't had the chance to do so until now.

"I did it."

I told Metis.

[ Congratulations. You can't try it out here, so next is magic for long-range attacks. ]

I let out a sigh.

"That said, I didn't come up with the idea of tracking monsters, so I can't create magic like a tracking missile."

[ I think is necessary to create such magic, but I think there is something lacking. ]

"What do you mean?"

[ I believe that the existence of means that there are some characteristics that work properly for the first time by using multiple characteristics. ]

"I see, that's an interesting idea. In other words, is useless until we find that kind of characteristic."

[ If my guess is correct. There is a possibility that I could be wrong, too. ]

I thought it was right. I tried many times, but nothing worked.

"It can't be helped. Let's create magic for long-range attacks with only the usable characteristics."

I decided to create a magic for long-range attacks based on 'Multiple Attack' that shot 30 small D-Particle Piles. First, with and were collectively applied to the formation of the D-Particles.

Next, was also applied to the formation of the D-Particles. Then, I increased the flight speed and made it explode on hit.

I realized the problem when I imagined the time when this magic was activated. If I attacked from a distance like this, the projectile spread out too much and may not hit the monster.

The original 'Multiple Attack' was a magic that spread 30 small D-Particle Piles in a circle of 3 meters at a distance of 20 meters. If it flew more than 300 meters like this, the distance between the small D-Particle Piles would be too wide and they wouldn't hit the target.

So, when it flew about 300 meters, I adjusted the angle so that it spread out in a circle with a diameter of 10 meters. It was completed for now, but I didn't have time to test it. I called it 'Burst Shotgun' and shut down the Sage System.

"I want to try it, but that's for tomorrow."

The next day, I went to the paid practice field and tried 'Blow-up Glaive'. I activated 'Blow-up Glaive' towards a concrete block without multiple activations.

A gigantic 10-meter D-Particle Glaive was formed, and the tip of the blade was swung down toward the concrete. The D-Particle Glaive, which was swung down at high speed, hit the concrete and bit into it about eight centimeters deep before stopping.

In the next moment, the tip of the D-Particle Glaive exploded and the D-Particles exploded in the direction the blade was facing. The explosion shattered a portion of the concrete block and blew it away.

"This hole is about thirty centimeters deep. Even though it didn't have multiple activations, it's extremely powerful."

[ Absolutely. If you don't control the direction of the explosion by granting , you may get caught in the explosion. ]

Granting was the correct answer.

I decided to try TripleGlaive. 'Blow-up Glaive', which was activated three times, hit the concrete block at a speed many times higher than before, splitting it in half and then exploding.

A roar echoed through the practice field, and the concrete block shattered into pieces.

"This much power with triple activation. It's unlikely that a higher multiple activation can be confirmed with concrete blocks."

There was something that bothered me a little, so I checked my remaining magical power with my Magic Counter. I had less left than I thought. It seemed that the amount of magical power used was large for the magic that had an increased amount of granted characteristics.

When I talked to Metis about the magic consumption,

[ What about the magic level that it can be learned at? ]

"It's magic level 15 for 'Blow-up Glaive', and 'Burst Shotgun' is magic level 14."

The magic level they could be learned at wasn't as high as I thought, but it seemed that the magic had bad fuel consumption.

[ Let's try 'Burst Shotgun' next. ]

Since it was a practice area, I activated 'Burst Shotgun' at a distance of about 300 meters. Thirty small Detonation Piles flew toward the concrete block.

Most of the small Detonation Piles missed the target. However, two small Detonation Piles hit. A series of explosions occurred, punching holes in the concrete block. The holes were twenty centimeters in diameter and seven centimeters deep.

I was a little moved when I saw the small Detonation Piles fly about 300 meters. Until now, the formation of the D-Particles would have decomposed and disappeared along the way. I was finally able to create Life Magic that could attack from a distance.

The power increased with triple and quintuple activations, and when 'Burst Shotgun' was activated with seven activations, a hole about 50 centimeters deep opened in the concrete block. With this power, it might be possible to knock down a FireDrake.

[ These two magics have two characteristics combined into one, but is it possible to combine three characteristics? ]

I wondered that too, so I tried it. I tried to combine , , and , but it failed when it was almost complete.

Judging from the response, there seemed to be compatibility between characteristics, and depending on the combination, there were things that could be put together and things that couldn't be put together. For example, the two of and were no good.

"It seems difficult. Judging from the response, I don't think it's impossible. I think the combination is the key."

Regarding , there was still a need for research.
