Chapter 106


Chapter 106 Strongest Sage, Determined to Erase His Dark History


" . . . . Where is that Gae Bolg now?"


"Um . . . It"s said that it suddenly disappeared from the treasury 50 years ago, and was discovered to be in the possession of a demon . "


"In other words, a demon like Elhart infiltrated and stole it huh . "


"Most likely . . . . "


Alright . I"ll go and defeat that demon .


I"m gonna destroy it for sure the next time I find it .


That is something that cannot be allowed to exist in this world .


" . . . Okay, let"s make Iris"s spear next . "


I have to end an era where that kind of thing is treated as the strongest spear as quickly as possible .


For that to happen, creating a spear stronger than that is ideal .


Or rather, as long as you do the augmenting properly, it"s difficult to make a spear weaker than that .


"I-I understand!"




Several hours later .


We all have gathered to test the performance of our completed weapons, however . . . .


"Then, here I go!"


Ruli swings her sword at the target .


The target is neither the one used in school or a monster .

It"s a 10cm thick steel rod .


Contrasting that, the sword Ruli has in hand is just 5mm thick .


Ruli seems to be worried about it as she"s swinging the sword timidly .


And then--the steel rod got soundlessly cut .


"W-we"ve made a fearsome thing . . . . "


Ruli sounded dumbfounded when she saw the blade that was completely free of nicks .


It wouldn"t have been possible with normal augment considering that thinness, so I made exclusive spell arts for it .


"You cut that with this sword . . . ? Is this multi-augmented too?"


"Yeah . That sword has eight kinds of magic augmented on it . It"s made of three boards with four magic on each board though . "


"Eight kinds!? . . . For reference, what kind of magic?"


"It goes from 【Augment Magic for Ruli"s Sword Number 1】 to 【Augment Magic for Ruli"s Sword Number 8】 . This sword is unique, so I"ve made new augments exclusively for it . "


I showed Alma one of the spell arts I made, the magic circle number 8 .


Because this was the first time I augmented a sword this thin .


General spell arts wouldn"t work well, so I made them myself .


But augmenting them proved to be difficult, as even Ruli who usually succeeded in one try had to redo three times before it took form .


"You made augment magic!? . . . How do I say this . . . . It"s really Mathi-kun . . . . "


"Really Mathi-kun isn"t it . "


Ruli agreed to Alma"s incomprehensible adjective(?) .


Why did my name become an adjective anyway .


" . . . . Hold on . If Ruli"s weapon is that powerful, that means my weapon is similar to it . . . ?"


Alma said that and looked at the bow she just got .


However, unfortunately she"s mistaken .


Ruli"s sword stresses importance on lightness and portability, and is ultimately a sub-weapon for self-defense .


Contrary to that, Alma"s bow is operated by both her and Ruli and the main long-distance firepower of our party .


Alma"s is overwhelmingly higher in term of attack power .


"Similar . . . it is not . Well, you"ll know if you try shooting with it . . . . Ah, be careful about the arrow line when you use it . Cause the flying distance is different from your usual arrows . "


I said that as I gave an iron arrow exclusively made for Alma .


The arrow differs from common arrows in this world, it"s made from iron .


The feathers are quite small to decrease air resistance .


"Again, that"s one amazing looking arrow . . . . Then let me have a shoot . Where"s my target?"


"This . "


I took out another steel rod .


However, unlike the one for Ruli, this rod is about 40cm thick .


"Then, here I go!"


Alma pulls the arrow .


"Ooh, it"s very light! Ei!"


The arrow that was shot along with that voice--pierced through the rod .


" . . . . Huh? Where"d the arrow go?"


"Over here . "


I pull out the arrow that has been half-buried inside dungeon wall .


. . . The arrow that hit dungeon wall with enough force to break it already lost its shape though .


"I . . . It"s soo weird!? Can I really have this bow . . . ?"


"Of course . That"s the point of its creation . "


By the way, Ruli only made the rough parts for this bow, I was the one who did the a.s.sembly and finishing .


Since the mechanism had to be quite complex for it to be this powerful .


If it"s a sword, Ruli can do everything but the flattening, but it"ll probably take some time before she can do a bow .


"Alright, then Iris is the last one . "


"Yes! Which should be my target!?"


"I haven"t prepared a target for Iris . . . . Rather, it"s impossible . Just try it on that wall over there . "


I pointed at the thickest wall nearby .


"I understand! Here I--"


"Hold it right there . "


I stopped Iris who took up the spear .


And then I tell Ruli and Alma .


"You two, back away a bit . To around there . "


I pointed 30 meter back .


"Y-yes!"


"Got it!"


Ruli and Alma ran to the place in a hurry .


Iris pierced the wall with her spear after confirming that .


The wall was blown away with a roaring sound .


The shockwave broke down a part of the ceiling, several monsters on the other side of the wall received the splinters and died .


" . . . . Ooh! I feel like I can swing around without worry with this spear!"


Yup . Looking good .


Of course, it"s incomparable to Gae Bolg thingy .


I probably can expect her to be a force to some extent in a fight against stronger demons and dragons with this .


--And then, several weeks after the weapon making .


Royal Capital Great Barrier Creation is finally coming to a close .
