Episode 444 Prominence Blade

Métis pulls Elmore out of the shadows and looks at me with a jittery look.

　After deciding on a nearby rocky hill as a target, pour magic power into the light sword Clau Solas. Form the photon blade first, since it is smoother to form the photon blade first and then move on to the prominence blade.

　Then, while increasing the amount of magical power poured into it, he imagines a red flame rising from the edge of the sun, or what is called prominence. The color of the photon blade was similar to daylight, but when the magic power was poured into it while imagining prominence, it turned red and became huge in the shape of a sword.

　The photon blade was five meters long, but it became a slender prominence blade about fifteen meters long, extending toward the ceiling of the dungeon. From that prominence blade, I could feel a bit of heat, but not very intense heat.

　The prominence blade was swung down toward the rock pile. Immediately after the red flame blade, which was swung down through the atmosphere, hit the rock pile, the blade seemed to generate high heat and bite into the rock pile, melting the rock. In the next instant, the energy that had formed the prominence blade flew toward the spot where it hit.

　The energy gathers on the surface of the rock pile and forms a swirling sphere of flame about two meters in diameter, radiating light and heat. The flame-heated sphere, shining like the sun, penetrates into the interior, melting the rock pile.

　A few seconds after the flaming ball disappeared into the interior of the rock pile, the rock pile swelled up and collapsed with a banging sound. After the collapse, molten molten lava poured out. I retreat, unable to stand the heat.

The power is exhilarating."

　Metis, in an uncharacteristic manner, conveyed the power of the light sword Clau Solas.

I agree. I can only say that this is egregious. But if you're going to kill it with a flaming ball, why not make it fly in the shape of a flaming ball from the start?"

"Probably because they are afraid of being shunned.

What do you mean?"

I think the prominence blade is a kind of tracking device. Only when the prominence blade hits and attacks in the form of a flame-hot ball, it never misses.'

I see. A human-powered tracker. Interesting attack."

'And that flame-heated sphere, I don't think it's just a high-heat sphere.

When you say?"

'I felt the same energy as the photon blades. It seems to contain the energy of destruction.'

　According to Métis, the fire-thermal ball cannot be defended by magical means. It seems that magical barriers such as the one used by the Goblin King cannot prevent the fire-thermal ball.

　After confirming the power of the prominence blade, I returned to the ground. I went straight to the Adventurers' Guild to check on the Varski Dragon King.

　The other party was Maria. According to Maria, the United States, European countries, and Japan have checked their own dungeons and confirmed that no lodging is missing. However, she said that some of the blocked dungeons and special class dungeons could not be checked.

　However, those dungeons are extremely few in number, so the probability of finding lodgers in blockade dungeons or special class dungeons is small. The problem is dungeons in countries that are not properly managed.

'Dr. Grimm, are you here to report to the Guild?

　Look who it was, it was Shun. Shun had become a C-level student and had begun serious training in martial arts. He is learning swordsmanship at Chika's dojo and karate from Taichi.

　He really wanted to learn from Mitsuhashi Shihan, but Taichi told him it was too early. It was probably for the same reason as Nezu.

Speaking of which, I heard from my senpai, Mazato-senpai, that demons like the Goblin King can be difficult to defeat because they have a defensive measure called a magical barrier, right?"

I think I can cut through the Goblin King's magical barrier with my Seventh High Blade. I think the Goblin King's magical barrier could be cut through with a Seventh High Blade."

　However, he may have a hard time against demons equipped with equipment like the Minotaur General's duck armor. Shun's magic level is at the limit at "10," so it is difficult to kill him with life magic.

　Shun's weapon of choice is a sword, but he doesn't seem to have a good one. I didn't want Shun, a member of Battalion, to die, so I decided to lend him a weapon that I had made out of my characteristic white bright steel.

　This magic weapon has and . I will ask you to return the magic weapon when you get it.

Are you sure you can lend me the money?"

Yeah, that's how we're going to set it up at Battaglion."

Thank you very much. I'm not a person who can be shy, so I'll borrow it."

　Shun seems to know objectively what he is capable of. He did not seem to hold back in any way. Shun and I went to the meeting room. There, we laid out the weapons in the storage armlets on the table.

　Shun rolled his eyes at that.

I think there are too many, are these really magical weapons?"

What I got was a piece of metal with properties," he said. I hired a blacksmith to turn it into a weapon. That's why I have so many."

I envy you."

"The performance is not much, just more penetration and sharpness."

　Shun chose one made to resemble a Japanese sword. Since he trained at Chika's dojo, he is probably more comfortable using a Japanese sword.

　Shun thanked me and then said he would give it a try and went to the training area. I stay in the meeting room and start thinking. I can offer this kind of assistance to those in Battalion, but not to other living wizards.

　Perhaps some effective magic is needed. The only magic I could think of that could be learned at a magic level of 10 or less, and that would be effective against magic barriers and dodge armor, was something that used spatial vibration waves.

　Since spatial vibration waves have the characteristic of being unaffected by magic and other means, we believe that they can be used against the Goblin King and Minotaur General.

　However, "Crash Ball" and "Crash Lance" can be avoided or played. This is because they are detected before they emit spatial vibration waves.

　I wondered if it would be possible to attack demons with spatial vibration waves emitted from the beginning. I will discuss that with Metis.

Considering the characteristics of spatial vibration waves, magic like 'blade' is possible, but the range will be shorter. But the range would be shorter.

　Lowering the level of magic that can be learned would reduce the amount of magic power that can be used, so it would have to be done. I set up the Sage system, and based on the "Blade," I incorporated of the D-particle primary mutation and of the D-particle secondary mutation.

　The area where the spatial vibration wave is radiated should be in the form of a rod with a diameter of three centimeters and a length of three meters. If it is longer than this, it will not have enough magic power. The name was chosen to be "Crash Sword.

　He goes to the training ground to try it out. I looked for Shun, but could not find him. He must have finished testing the new weapon and returned home. I went to where the logs were placed, carried one log, and stood it in the corner of the training area.

　He launched his "Crash Sword" at the log, which gathered D-particles, which were converted into spatial vibration waves to form a spatial vibration blade.

　The spatial vibration blade swings in an exaggerated manner, and the log is cut in half along its path. It looks fine, but I try it a few times just to be sure. With a little adjustment, the "Crash Sword" is complete. The magic level that can be learned is "10.

　As I was about to leave the training site to go home, I was stopped by Branch Chief Kondo.

Dragon King Vasuki emerged from the Ayutthaya dungeon in Thailand. I would like to have a word with him, so please come to the branch manager's office."
