Episode 463 New Defensive Magic

After escaping from the killer ostriches, we headed for the stairs up to the tenth level.

Thank you. I appreciate it."

　Makhdar thanked him. It was in Czech, but Metis translated for him. He had learned Czech before he knew it.

　Mahdar offered to pay me a gratuity, and when I told him that I would prefer something like the magical technology book I found in the dungeon rather than gold, he pulled out a magical technology book from a storage ring and handed it to me.

What's this?"

I don't understand. It's written in sacramental script, but scholars say it's too difficult to understand."

　Looking inside, I saw that it was labeled "Spirit and Soul Training Method. I was interested in the word "soul" and decided to take it. I thought it was worth more than gold.

　Arriving at the tenth layer, I made him promise to keep secret that I had the transfer gate key, and then we used the transfer gate to move to the first layer. Then I returned to the ground and headed for the Adventurers' Guild.

　As Mahdal and I enter the branch manager's office, Branch Manager Nozaki looks relieved.

Thank you so much. It would have been a sad situation if Dr. Grimm hadn't helped us."

　The branch manager gave Makhdar a hard warning. If he didn't understand the staff member's explanation, he should have asked him to bring someone who could translate.

　These requests from the Adventurers' Guild have a set fee, so the main reward is the evaluation points that are added to the performance.

　I stayed at a hotel near the dungeon and began reading "How to Train Your Soul," which Mahdal had given me. According to this book, the soul has a rank, which can be raised by training.

　It seems that the case is related to the evolution of the soul. It was indeed a difficult subject. I understood most of the content because I fully understood the sacramental script, but I would not have been able to understand it if the translation was incomplete.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

　The training is said to begin with accepting and analyzing information from the surroundings using all the senses. In my case, in addition to the five senses, I will also be analyzing information from my magical senses and D-particle sensors.

　And the method of analysis, it seems, is to use some magical technique from a technical book. It is not something that uses the human brain to analyze, but seems to be something that builds and executes an analysis system in the psyche.

'Isn't it dangerous?'

　When he told Metis, he felt that the content was dangerous.

I'll give it a try. Just don't talk to me for a while."

　I tried it for a bit. While sitting on the sofa and relaxing, I followed the technical manual to build an analysis system in my psyche. The procedure was tedious, but when I did it reliably, the analysis system was completed in my psyche.

　A huge amount of information is poured into the analysis system and let it analyze. I ran the analysis system for two seconds. But those two seconds became unbearably painful. I was so shocked that my mind almost exploded, and I had to stop the project.

Oops."

　I feel sick and like I'm going to throw up. My spirit is shaking like a newborn puppy.

Are you okay?"

　Metis's voice echoed in my head, making me feel sick.

Don't talk to me. Please."

　I needed about thirty minutes to recover. I slumped down on the couch and meditated. Then a tremendous sleepiness overtook me, and I went to bed and fell asleep.

　The next day, you wake up feeling refreshed.

'Are you all right now?'

Yeah, I'm fine."

Have there been any changes?"

　That said, I think my thinking is a little clearer.

'I think I'm starting to think a little clearer.'

'So how much do I have to do to raise my soul's rank?'

'They say that if you keep at it every day for fifty years or so, it will raise your soul's rank. I can't ...... but I might be able to use this to my advantage in high speed combat, so I'll keep working out a little."

What would you like to do today?"

I'm going to take a rest day. I'm in the mood to take it easy."

　But I think about a lot of things. It is about the Jabberwock, the named dragon of the fifteenth layer, the magic under development, and the analysis system.

　A defensive magic in development came to mind. It is a magic that uses knowledge of spatial structure. It was going to be a magic that would create a gap in space and use it as a barrier. However, another idea came to mind.

　Think about what kind of D-particle primary mutation characteristics that would require. Various ideas come to mind. I seem to be in good shape. It may be the effect of the "Spirit Training Method," but it could also be a coincidence.

　I willingly took out my "pain reduction ring" and put it on my finger. Then, I start up the Sage system and begin the process of creating new D-particle primary mutation characteristics.

　The sage system caused my brain cells to start working at full capacity, causing me intense pain, but I had learned to be tough enough to withstand it.

　After 30 minutes of suffering, the new property of "woven sky" was completed. It is the ability to separate, assemble, and join spaces. However, its effect is limited to a five-meter radius.

　Within five meters, it is possible to separate a space and connect it to another space, making it possible to create an absolute barrier. However, the range of effect is narrow, so it is necessary to be creative in its use.

　Developing a new magic based on "Magnetic Barrier" with the Sage system. ＜It became a simple magic that only added the characteristics of .

　This magic uses D particles to form a spherical shield within a radius of five meters, which is then coated with magic power. The air shield then floats on the surface of the shield.

　An attack that hits the air shield will leap over the inside of the air shield and fly out the other side. It is as if the attack is instantaneous.

　This air shield will provide tremendous protection against both physical and magical attacks. It will even prevent spatial vibration waves.
