Episode 507 The Sage of Life Magic

The circling wyverns swooped down on us. I watched Tesshin's attack, ready to deploy my magnetic barrier at any moment.

　Tesshin turned on the arrow with the characteristic, drew the "Raging Demon's Bow," aimed at the wyvern, and released it. The wyvern puffed out its chest and inhaled a large amount of air. He must be trying to release magic.

　An arrow pierced there, piercing the chest muscles and injuring the lungs. The wyvern let out an anguished cry and fell straight down. We jumped back from the drop.

　I thought about deploying a magnetic barrier, but I knew that a magic-armed wizard would have jumped back. A fall from that height would have killed a human being.

　However, Wyvern is alive, although he seems to have broken several bones. However, he began to scratch algae due to the pain. Sensing an opportunity, Tesshin put away his bow and took out his sacred spear, Geiassar, to deliver the killing blow.

You beat him rather easily."

The arrows hit the target well," he said. And the penetration of the arrow was better than I expected."

　Tesshin retrieves the red magic stone and the arrow with characteristics and puts away the gayassar.

It has been proven that you can kill a wyvern with an arrow with properties. What do we do now?"

I have to make sure there's at least one more."

　They are trying to get another wyvern, as the current one may have been a fluke. As I wandered around looking for the next wyvern, I ran into two wyverns.

Two at once, what do you say?"

'Dr. Grimm, take one for me, please.

Copy that."

　One of the circling wyverns starts to swoop down. I decide to take it out first. I activate "Jet Blitz" and launch a D-particle jet.

　Prepare a "Thunderbird Push" in case it misses; the D-particle jet projectile hit the wyvern's wing, turning the compressed air that had been stored inside into super-heated plasma and burning the wyvern's wing.

　The wyvern, one wing engulfed in flames, fell in a spiraling trajectory. The wyvern, which had been knocked to the ground, floundered in intense pain.

　I run over and activate my quintuple activation "high blade" and swing the huge blade formed by D-particles down toward the wyvern's neck.

　The D-particle blade severed the wyvern's neck and tore off the tome.

"Well done. Now it's me."

　Just as Tesshin said this, another wyvern, as if waiting for him, took aim at Tesshin and descended. Tesshin drew his bow and released an arrow with a characteristic.

　The arrow flies toward the wyvern and hits it in the abdomen. The wyvern, feeling the pain, lets out a loud scream. The cry resembled the cry of a goose. which sounded like the honking of a goose.

　The wyvern rose with the arrow stuck in it and squealed in the air, but then suddenly swooped down and attacked Tesshin. Tesshin squeezed the arrow once more and released it.

　The arrow pierced the wyvern's neck. The falling wyvern was a bugbear, and it was easy to put the finishing touches on it.

I'm sure you'll be able to defeat the wyverns with your bow and arrow. This proves that you can defeat a wyvern with a bow and arrow, but without that magical weapon, the bow?"

No. Strong bows for magic-armor wizards have already been developed, so I guess the only problem is arrows with properties."

　According to Tesshin, a strong bow has been developed that uses magic-armor magic to strengthen the muscles and handle the bow, so using it should have the same result.

　The problem is arrowheads with properties, but this would not be a problem if we develop a life magic that imparts properties to metals.

　Alisa once told me that it would be useful if there was a life magic that could give metal properties. I had been trying to develop such a magic, but it was difficult.

　The idea of granting multiple properties was particularly difficult, and even a single property would require the creation of a life magic for each metal, so we put the idea on hold. We wondered if there was a demand for a life magic that grants only one characteristic.

　After returning to the ground, I kneaded 500 grams of silver with D-particles and completed the magic that gave it the property. The reason for the 500 grams of silver was to limit the amount of magic to 10 levels that could be mastered.

　The completed magic was named "Blue Penetrate" and registered with the Magic Agency under the name of the wise man.

　While I was doing this, I heard an amazing story at the Adventurer's Guild. I was told that a sage of living magic had been born in rural America. I met with the branch manager to confirm this information.

So, what kind of a man is this wise man?

　I asked Kondo, the branch manager.

She's still a teenage girl, apparently."

So does that mean you're protected by the government?"

　The branch manager cowered his shoulders and then nodded.

It seems some of them are out to get the wise guy, so I guess we'll have to do it."

　Frankly, I felt bad. Because if I had been unlucky, I myself could have been protected by the government and kept in captivity.

　Some time later, a formal request arrived from the government. They wanted me to meet and consult with an American sage who was coming to Japan.

I don't understand your request. What do you think it means?"

　I ask Metis,

'Don't you want me to teach you how to use the Wise Man System?'

　The answer was.

　How to use the sage system?　What did I have to teach you?

I don't think there's anything in particular to teach."

What about D-particle primary mutation and D-particle secondary mutation? Especially if you use them without knowing how to create D-particle primary mutations, you're going to have a bad time.'

'Sure, but if you're in the U.S., don't they have records?

'I don't know.　Before Dr. Grimm became a sage, there was only living magic up to magic level 2.'

Okay."

　I say in a disinclined manner, and Metis seems to have noticed.

If you don't feel like it, it's okay to say no.'

'No, I'm going to take it on because I feel like there's something wrong with using my privileges as a wise man and then refusing to do what the state asks of me.

　It's not that I would accept anything the government asks of me, but this is not a big deal, so I thought I could accept it. Besides, I heard that accepting the job would be an achievement for me as an adventurer. It seems to be quite a high point.

　Since this request was made to Japan via the Wise Men's Review Board, I should assume that my true identity, or rather my real name, is known. I just had a mixed feeling that I might end up raising a rival.

　But whether he will be a rival or an ally depends on who he is. What kind of person is the sage of the new life magic?
