After returning to the surface from the Thunder God dungeon, I went to the nearby Adventurer's Guild and reported what had happened in the dedication room. It was the first time I had ever heard of a room being expanded by the demons that came out of it.
When the branch manager hears the report, he looks surprised.
Is that true?
'There's no doubt about it. It was during the dedication that the bone dragon came out."
I took out a bone dragon magic stone and showed it to him as evidence.
The only demon that leaves behind a white magic stone is the dragon class. Looks like we really have a bone dragon on our hands."
The branch manager seemed to believe me because there was no point in lying about something like this.
However, in order to verify whether this is true or not, I would probably use a team of adventurers who are somewhat skilled to reproduce the event and verify it. Only then would this be recorded as my achievement.
Since it is to see if the size of the room expands, we could use the escape ball to escape without defeating the demon that came out, but the rather expensive votive offering will not be returned and the Adventurers' Guild will be in the red. What would they do?
I was curious, so I ask about that.
In this case, you have to wait until the same thing happens again. We can't afford such an expensive magical weapon as a dagger of light.
It seems that the Adventurers' Guild is not going to confirm this at their own expense. It seems that they will publicly announce that such an event has occurred as unconfirmed information and ask people to report it if the same event occurs again.
As I was about to leave after the report, the branch manager asked me a question.
I'm curious to know what you gained by dedicating the Dagger of Light, a High King level magical weapon, and defeating the Bone Dragon that summoned you. Of course, this is an optional question, so you don't have to answer."
It's a great magical weapon. Beyond that, I'll keep it a secret."
The light sword Clau Solas, which is a fusion of two legendary-class magic weapons, is definitely a mythical-class magic weapon. However, I feel that I have not yet found the right way to use it.
After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, I returned to the mansion and began talking with Metis.
Do you think you can defeat a basilisk zombie with the light sword Clau Solas?"
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
The question is whether the "Energy Drain" of the "Basilisk Zombie" can absorb the Holy Light Energy. Conflicts with the undead.
run counter to
I'm sure it's fine, because it's energy that does the work.
The light emitted by the light sword is not just light, but what is called holy light. It is probably effective against basilisk zombies, but if the "energy drain" also absorbs the holy light energy, it could mean defeat. I wanted another means of attack.
Before considering other means of attack, I decided to test the power of the light sword Clau Solas.
The next day, I went to the Narukami dungeon and headed to the mountain area on the fifth level. In this mountain area, there are huge rocks here and there. I was aiming for a place where there was a huge rock about 20 meters long.
Climbing up a little hill and reaching the top of it, the desired huge rock comes into view. It seems to be a black-colored granite. It is a very strong and hard rock.
'Are you going to test the power of the light sword Clau Solas on this rock?'
Yes," he said. I think it's just the right size."
He takes out the light sword Clau Solas, holds it up with both hands, and begins to pour magic power into it. Light is created between the two sword blades, which begin to extend in the form of a sword.
The sword of light, extending up to five meters, seemed to shine brightly and pulsate. I raised my light sword, Clau Solas, and swung it down toward the giant rock.
It was heavy because it was a fusion of two swords, but not so heavy that it could not be handled. When the sword blade of light hit a huge rock, it made a vong sound, and the grains of rock popped and slashed with the pressure of the holy light.
Dust rises around Clau Solas, the light sword, which has dug into the ground. I jumped back and waited for the dust to disappear. A few moments later, a huge rock with a four-meter-deep gash appears.
It's a very sharp and powerful thing.
Metis shared her thoughts. I nodded and agreed.
However, the heavier weight makes it more difficult to handle, so one of the abilities of the light sword Clau, "Floating Body", is used.
construction
I tried to see if I could use the "I'm not sure I can use it.
As he poured magic power into the light sword Clau Solas while imagining petals dancing in the wind, the sword became so light that it danced in the wind.
In this state, it swings down several times on the huge rock and cleaves it. The slash cuts through the giant rock and splits it into several pieces.
With this kind of power, I could chop up a dragon."
Yes, I think I can.
Having sufficiently verified the power of the attack, I returned to the ground and headed back to the mansion. Once back at the compound, I started talking with Metis in the workroom about other means of attack.
You told me about the railgun before. Do you think you could develop one if you had access to vast amounts of magical power and D-particles?"
I can't say for sure until I try it.
...... Okay, let's give it a try."
I started up the wise man system and tried to see if I could develop a "railgun" magic. A long barrel is formed with D-particles, and the D-particle primary mutation
A rail gun is a projectile that is accelerated by electromagnetic force by passing an electric current through metal on electrode rods that serve as two parallel rails. To increase its power, a large amount of electricity is required, so the D-particles must be converted into electricity all at once.
This required an enormous amount of magical power, and it was not a very efficient magic. Still, development continued, and about half of the total amount of magic power was found to be necessary to obtain an initial speed exceeding the speed of sound, so it was given up.
It would be more efficient to use D-particles as an energy source to increase velocity through 'vector acceleration.
'That would cause the magic to collapse with the "energy drain". I think we need to devise a way to increase the initial speed."
The "Energy Drain" was the problem. According to the information we gathered, the "Energy Drain" effect occurs when you get up to 15 meters from a basilisk zombie.
The wider area of effect of "Energy Drain" than expected is also an obstacle to defeating basilisk zombies.
It seems that Mr. Nagase has come forward to take on the basilisk zombies, but can he defeat them?"
It was information I overheard at the Adventurers' Guild.
If a magic-armored wizard were to fight a basilisk zombie, he would approach it at once, strike a blow with his magic weapon, and break away, and repeat the process.
'Do you want to repeat that ...... idea came to me. The railgun didn't work, but I think we could use the idea of using magnetism.'
