Episode 308 Silver Ogre

We return down the aisle to the transporter room. The transfer room on the tenth level was also entered by a tattoo on the back of his left hand. There were a number of transfer gates lined up in the transfer room, but it seemed that only the first layer and the gate to the fifth layer were usable.

 I let Elmore hide in the shadows, then chose the first layer and proceeded to the transfer gate. When I walked out of the one-story transfer room and returned to the ground, it was a little dim outside.

Now let's go to the Adventurers' Guild."

 I headed for the Adventurers' Guild, wishing I could use the D-Particle Wing outside the dungeon as well. Upon arrival at the guild, I told the receptionist that I wanted to report on the ninth and tenth layers of the Narukami dungeon, and he informed the branch manager.

 Apparently, being a class-A adventurer, you get VIP treatment, so the branch manager is supposed to take your report. I went to the branch manager's office to make my report. Upon hearing my report, Branch Manager Kondo's face turned serious.

Why do you look like that?"

It's the Silver Ogre. That monster is a really hard demon to defeat."

 According to the branch manager, the Silver Ogre is faster and more powerful than the Red Ogre, and it engages in high-speed combat. Only a class-A magician could keep up with their speed.

 He said that the Silver Ogre is equivalent to a magic-armor wizard who has learned the moves of a first-rate martial artist or fighter, and whose muscular strength and defense have been increased to about ten times their original strength. The branch manager gave me detailed information about the Silver Ogre.

 I too have studied karate and western swordsmanship, but I can't fight in close quarters. The only way to beat him was to fight him at long range. But if the only place to fight was inside a room in the pyramid, it was out of the question.

 In that room, it's always a close call. Do we have to wait for someone else to take them down? I kind of hate that, so let's think about whether there is any other way to fight.

But wow, even though I just got to the A level, I got the "Fruit of Life" and found the stairs down to the tenth level, the tenth level transfer room, and the middle boss's room. With this, my ranking must be about 200th."

 Some of the Class A adventurers are hardly active, so they say it is easy to move up to the 200th rank or so. However, it is said to be a struggle to move up from there.

You have become a Class A adventurer at a young age. If you continue to slowly work your way up, you may even make it into the top ten in the rankings. If that happens, you will be the first A-class adventurer to make the top ten in Japan.

 He said it was a great thing and an honor. Sometimes the expectations of the branch manager seem heavy, but I was honestly happy because he believes in my potential and expects me to do well.

'By the way, there was a small room in the nine-tiered tomb where the coffin was placed.

Did you examine that coffin?"

No, I didn't touch it because the entrance to that little room had a sign that said, 'Do not disturb the sleep of the dead.

 The branch manager looked stern and nodded.

That would be a wise decision. We must make sure that other adventurers are aware of the situation. The Adventurers' Guild will inform everyone.

 Finally, he tells them that he will hire Kongoji as his butler.

I see, Kongoji must have had a 'D' in life magic talent. Teach him a few things, and he should be useful in his work as a butler."

I understand. I will teach you some of the life magic that will help you maintain the mansion."

 The Kondo branch manager nodded with a gentle smile.

 After reporting, I returned to the mansion. After getting Tamegoro and the others out of the shadows, I sat down on the living room sofa and thought about what to do. The object of my consideration was the Silver Ogre.

 I understand that if I fight now, there is a high probability that I will lose. When it comes to a demon as big as the Silver Ogre, it reads the signs of magical attacks and avoids them.

 Maybe if you attack it with a pistol or a rifle, it will read your signs and avoid bullets. The Silver Ogre is such a monster.

Is there any way a living wizard can beat the Silver Ogre?"

 Metis heard my words,

'If you want to beat them in a fair fight, you have to increase your speed so you can fight at high speed.

 That's true, but I have no talent for magical armament magic. Even if I used the "ring of agility" and the function of the power sword, I would only be able to increase my speed to about five times my normal speed.

 The power sword increases muscle power by a factor of five, but it does not increase speed by a factor of five. At best, it is limited to three to four times. If the effect of the "ring of agility" is added to it, it may be possible to increase the speed by five times.

 However, it requires practice. And in high-speed combat, the ability to detect the opponent's movements is also necessary. In the case of a living magician, this is the ability to sense the movement of D-particles and convert it into information.

 The Silver Ogre may be beaten by Nagase, a class A fighter, but practice should help him in the future. It might be a good idea to go to Master Mitsuhashi once for consultation.

 The next afternoon, Alisa and her family came to visit.

'Dr. Grimm, what was the scroll we entrusted to you?

It was a 'shock-absorbing' property. It was quite beneficial."

 I thought about what would be a good price and decided to give him the rights to register the "Magic Stone". I had planned to spread the "Magic Stone" as soon as possible, but since I had prioritized the registration of magic needed to defeat demons, it remained unregistered.

 Alisa and the others hesitated to accept it.

This magic is so easy to use, it could be a hit like 'Corn Arrow.'

The 'Shock Absorption' property is worth more than that. If that's not enough, I can add 'Multiple Attacks' to the mix."

No, the 'magic stone' is enough."

 Alisa refused on behalf of the company. <The shock-absorption property is really worth it, so there is no need to be shy.

 Yukari asked if he created magic using the property.

Yeah, it's called 'titampush,' a top-of-the-line push magic."

 I gave him the details of my new magic.

How many magic levels are there to learn it?"

The magic level will be '14'."

 Yukari's face turns rueful when she hears this.

'Titampush' is a pretty complicated system, so we don't have a choice."

Can't you make a degraded version like you did with 'D Clean'?"

 Alisa asked.

 I have thought about it, but even if we adjust the size and range of the titan plate, the magic level that can be learned will not be less than '10'.

I'm still no good. Don't ...... be so disappointed, some of the offensive magic is powerful defensive magic, isn't it?"

 Yukari shakes her head in denial. There is magic for defense, but it consumes a lot of magic power, so the level of magic that can be learned is quite high," she said.

 Alisa made one suggestion.

If the "augmented push" magic has other properties, wouldn't that reduce the level of magic to be learned?"

 If I just gave it one or two characteristics of D-particle secondary mutation, it could be magic level 10 or lower. I promised to think about it. The number of adventurers with "D" talent in life magic is the largest. It is important to increase the amount of magic that can be learned at magic level 10 or lower.
