Chapter 58 “Invalidation” (d.a.m.n … Don"t get frustrated …)
Calvis glances at Kyousai, who walks back a few steps and clicks her tongue.
(What “maybe so”? Why did I say such thing?……)
Calvis tried to recall the exchange between the two, but she suddenly became embarra.s.sed and stopped thinking about them.
(I wouldn"t be worried about being injured at all … I would have slept in front of him unprotected. He would never do that, no matter how weak I was …)
Yes, Calvis has been a bit strange over the past few days. To the extent that one could be aware of the change.
(Since when? I was the one who went to tell him about his errand, why didn"t I leave it to the messenger…?)
Calvis turned to look behind.
“What happened?”
She did not respond to Kyousai and turned her gaze forward.
(After all, something is wrong… I instinctively looked away …)
Calvis kept thinking about his ident.i.ty.
(Spirit magic? He seems to be able to do that much, but I feel it"s something different…)
Calvis"s frustration grows with emotions that cannot be answered.
“Hey, you!”
Calvis stops and turns to Kyousai.
“What is your name!”
“Isn"t it Kyousai?”
“Yes! Kyousai! I"m Calvis!”
“I know.”
Calvis started walking again. Kyousai tried to follow Calvis who seemed strange, but …
“I know, tooooooooo!”
Calvis threw her fist with her voice. Moreover, the fist was covered in flames. The flame boosted the speed and power of the punch, and if Kyousai avoided it, the rear would be in trouble. Kyousai understood that in a moment and did something.
“‘Invalidation"”
When Kyousai muttered, the flame disappeared from Calvis"s fist.
“Eh? Eh? Eh ??”
With the flame boost gone, Calvis lost her balance.
“Oops”
And then she fell into Kyousai"s chest.
“Hey, are you okay? Aren"t you strange from a while ago?”
Calvis left immediately and stared at Kyousai.
“You… what did you do earlier?”
“Earlier? Ah, is it [Invalidation]?"
Calvis nodded silently.
“That"s magic that disables magic.”
“You"re saying that the magic is disabled!?”
Calvis was amazed at the blast of emotions. If magic was disabled, the magician lost its meaning. The power in this world was not only magic but without it, the fighting power would be far different. The balance of the world could collapse if many of those using this magic appeared.
“Well, this magic is meaningless if you don"t use it before the magic is completed.”
Calvis reacted to those words.
“It doesn"t make any sense. My previous magic was completed properly, wasn"t it?”
Yes, Calvis" magic was already completed, and all that was left was to release it.
“Completion is different from completion. What I"m talking about is the stage between completing and releasing the technique.” [TN: completion and completion are different words: 完了 and 完成. The translators translated both as completion, end, perfection, so I don"t understand the difference.]
“By the way, what about physical strengthening?”
“It would not be possible if you strengthen your body with magic. But I can do it if I strengthen your body with sorcery.” [TN: again the author used two different words, 魔力 magical power, charm; and 魔術 which was translated as black magic, sorcery.]
“……you"re kidding”
“Unfortunately, nothing is a lie. It is true.”
Calvis was horrified by this magic. Once this magic was used, it became impossible to wear it, and it became poison and medicine. The only physical enhancement that could be used was the inefficient magical power.
“But this magic doesn"t work unless the other is of lower rank …”
“… lower rank?”
Calvis responded abnormally to the word. Calvis was a Demon Lord, albeit a woman. Besides, it is said to be a battle junkie. [TN: author words, not mine. Besides, if she is the demon lord, she must have bested other male demons.]
If it is said to be lower rank, her pride won"t take it … but.
“I see … lower rank…”
Calvis began to walk somehow convinced.
(I wonder if this strange feeling was a type of escape…)
Although a bit different, Calvis was convinced of that. When he glanced at her, Calvis opened her mouth again.
“The magic you just mentioned … did you say [invalidation]?”
“Ah.”
“Is that a magic that can be acquired normally?”
“I don"t know what you normally say, but at least you can"t.”
“Hey, don"t tell me.”
Calvis laughed eerily.
“Isn"t it frustrating?”
Kyousai put a question mark on Calvis.
“It may be frustrating.”
“… I don"t know.”
Kyousai sighed. [TN: I don"t know about Calvis, but I do have a question mark on my head right now.]
…………
……
…
“Hey, it"s time to go.”
“Really?”
Calvis once said to Kyousai. And then, they arrive at the site.
“… this is terrible.”
He couldn"t hide his grin, though he did what he did.
“Oh, it"s terrible. This is all you did.”
“Hey, Hey”
Kyousai was already tired of hearing it.
“… Is it possible?”
“Well.” [TN: まぁな, someone can help, I don"t think this is a proper answer.]
However, since he can read the air, he can answer Calvis"s serious questions.
(I wonder if the land is in the Kingdom of Sikka, which I know well … but how long will it take …)
Kyousai looked at the large hole.
(I can"t really see the bottom … Well, I guess from that magic, it is about 10km)
Making a good guess Kyousai instructed Calvis to descend.
(Since you can"t make earth with imaginary magic, try using imaginary magic after using earth magic …)
Kyousai released his magical power to use magic with all his power, but …
“Muh? What happened?”
He hesitated because Calvis was watching.
(It doesn"t matter if my power is found out, but… It"s going to be a bit of a ha.s.sle.)
He ended up here with some degree of prudence after all.
