Episode 90 D-Particle Wing

Alisa turned to face me.

"Didn't you look at the materials of the Adventurer's Guild?"

"I knew there was a lake, but I thought there was land with a lake in it. I didn't think the only land was the islands."

The materials didn't mention anything about the land. So of course, I thought there was.

Amane looked around,

"In this case, there's no choice but to go back."

When I nodded and tried to turn back, a half-fish person with a spear appeared from the water. I stuck out the black staff I was holding and changed the selection switch in my head to the black rapier. In an instant, the black staff turned into a black rapier, and its sharp tip pierced the Merman's chest.

Alisa looked on with envy after noticing that the Merman disappeared and the magic stone remained.

"That Black Staff is amazing. I want one too. Maybe they sell them as Magic Equipment?"

What's that? Is it possible that I was the first to get my hands on a weapon made of D-Particles? There must be something similar somewhere in the world.

"Since there seem to be Magic Equipment collectors, it might be quicker to ask someone like that."

"Collector, is it. I'll ask at the Adventurer's Guild."

"Anyway, half-fish people are weak."

Amane said with a feeling of disappointment.

"Mermen are nimble in water, but not on land. They're just not very smart, so sometimes they end up like this."

According to the guild's documents, the monsters in this lake were Merman and BlackGator. It seemed that Mermen were the ones to watch out for.

The Merman was said to overturn the adventurer's ships and drag the adventurer into the water to kill them. The crocodile monster called BlackGator could ram the ship, but it seemed easier to handle than the Mermen.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

We started heading back to the ground. Again, Alisa was breathing heavily.

It was around nine o'clock at night when we returned to the ground. After I called a taxi and sent Alisa and the others off, I returned to my apartment.

The next day, I slept until noon, got up, changed clothes, had a meal outside, and went to the bank to withdraw cash. Then I went to the Adventurer's Guild, in order to buy a Magic Sensor and a Magic Counter at the shop.

The Magic Counter was purchased to measure the amount of magic used when creating new spells.

After returning to the waiting room from the shop, I found Ono Tesshin and talked to him. I wanted to know how to cross the 14th floor lake.

"Oh, Grimm-sensei. Are you not going to the dungeon today?"

"Yesterday, I went to the 14th floor, and had to just leave."

"Oh, that lake. Did you buy a boat?"

"Not yet. I'm considering how to cross over."

Tesshin smiled happily.

"Indeed, you're not going to buy a one-person helicopter, are you."

It seemed there was a helicopter for adventurers. It seemed that it could be bought for a few million Yen, so it's not that I couldn't buy it.(TN:If a car won't fit in his Magic Pouch, how will a BOAT or a freaking HELICOPTER fit??)

It seemed that ordinary adventurers bought and used sturdy boats for adventurers. A boat that wouldn't break even if pierced by a Merman's spear.

After talking with Tesshin, I learned how other adventurers worked. The boat wasn't sold at the shop, but it was possible to order one.

By the way, it seemed that Attack Wizards rarely used 'Fly' to cross over. Mana consumption was a problem. It seemed that only those who had a lot of confidence in their magical power could fly across.

I returned to my apartment and activated the Sage System. I started investigating 'Remote Plate' thoroughly. As a result, it turned out that the glowing red D-Particle Plate maintained its shape by coating the plate with magical power.

It seemed that the red glow was that magical power. The propulsive force of the plate seemed to be magic and the energy released from the D-Particles.

That energy was called D-Power. The plate was getting smaller and smaller as the D-Particles decayed while emitting D-Power. The D-Particles accumulated inside the body generated magical power, and the D-Particles outside the body released D-Power and disintegrated. D-Particles were mysterious things.

For 'Remote Plate', the driving force in the original sense was D-Power. It seemed that magical power was used to control the direction of that D-Power.

'Remote Plate' was made very cleverly to move the glowing red D-Particle Plate freely. Its precise mechanism was artistic and unnecessarily high performance.

"If I make the movement simpler, I can reduce the consumption of magical power."

Not only could it move up, down, left, right, forward, and backward, it could also move at any angle, and it could also move in a curved line. It used a lot of magic for that.

I decided to make a new magic prototype. It was about 150 centimeters long and resembled a surfboard in shape. However, since it was a wing, it was symmetrical.

A line was connected between my consciousness and the formed D-Particle Wing. I thought about moving it. It moved up, down, left rotation, right rotation, forward, and backward. Those were the only ways of moving.

I sat in the center of the D-Particle Wing, which floated about 70 centimeters above the floor. I moved slowly in that position. It seemed to support my weight and move.

I couldn't test it in a small room anymore, so I stopped there with that magic.

The next day, I went to Master Mitsuhashi's dojo for training.

"Wrong, wrong. Just go there all at once, move with a 'Ban'."(TN:Translator's nightmare, decrypting ambiguous instructions.)

As usual, the instructions were ambiguous, but lately I've come to understand what he wanted to say. Humans were creatures that adapted to their environment.

I kicked. My legs were tripped up and my balance was lost, and his elbow hit me. An elbow hit my chest and blew me away. Pain. It was an attack with tremendous power, but I got back up.

Normally, my ribs should have been broken. The reason I was able to endure it was because I was equipped with the black scale armor. The Magic Equipment had sufficient defensive power even if it was not switched on.

"Master, I feel like you're getting sloppy."

"What are you talking about. You're wearing that armor. I don't need to hold back."

"It's not like it can absorb all the impact. It will definitely leave a bruise."

"It was a mistake to carelessly kick me just now. That's because I deliberately created an opening and invited you."

I still can't handle such advanced tactics, but he's too merciless.
