Chapter 118


Chapter 118 Strongest Sage, Sets up Traps


"Okay then . Now that the barrier is up and running . . . Let"s go and set some stuff up . "


"Stuff?"


"Yeah . We"ll have an easier time if we set up some traps before the monsters come out . "


I took a magic stone and a lump of iron out of Storage magic .


"We"ll be using this as a trap . "


" . . . Barrier magic?"


Ruli quickly guessed my intention when she saw those things .


However, her guess is only half right .


"It"s similar but not really . We"ll be setting detection-based guidance magic in the ground . "

" . . . Guidance magic?"


"Yeah . I"ll teach you the magic circle later, there"s this magic device that can draw magic toward it you see . The pulling force changes depending on the amount of mana filled into the magic device . "


By the way, even though the device can pull magic in, the force isn"t that great so it"s hard to use it for defending .


And it"s easy to counter it if you know someone is using it .


"Guidance . . . . And that will be the trap? . . . Don"t tell me Mathi-kun is going to plunge right in the middle of the monster swarm and become the target?"


"That"s one of the possible means . "


"So it is . . . "


Alma sounded like she couldn"t believe it .


Well, defending against attacks from your average monster is easy if you know how to use defensive magic well .


I can also defend against attack magic shot by students if I want to .


Leaving it to Iris is probably a good idea if we"re relying only on defensive prowess though .


"But we"ll be using another mean this time . We recently made a magic device to measure mana didn"t we? We will be directly using that as the guidance device . "


"And what would happen if we did?"


"A place where there is a lot of monsters will contain a lot of mana, thus it will pull magic in . In other words, our magic will automatically fall right in the middle of the monster crowd simply by shooting them toward the sky . "


Many magic will fall into a place where there"s a lot of monsters .


If a place has a few monsters, only a few magic will fall on it .


When it comes to large-scale group battles, giving orders where to shoot to each and every one of your allies isn"t really feasible, and it"s difficult to get a straight line of fire .


Yet, letting the magicians to randomly shoot their magic by their own discretion is not the best way to demonstrate the strength of a group .


Thus, it"s this magic device"s turn .


Simply by scattering these devices in the battlefield will make the shot magic naturally get distributed nicely .


By the way, the guidance precision depends on the number of devices you set up .


More does not mean better, it"s the hard part of this strategy . . . well, leaving it on instinct should do .


If some slipped out it, I could just deal with them myself .


"S-so that"s how it works . . . . Huh? Which means, don"t tell me, it"s the students who will defeat the monsters?"


"Yeah . The first wave that is . "



"First wave?"


Ruli looked perplexed to hear what I said .


"To tell you the truth, the monsters summoned this time will likely come in two waves . "


" . . . Two waves?"


"Yeah . The monsters coming in the first wave will excel in number, but are weak strength-wise . I"m thinking of leaving those monsters to the students, which should also act as their training . "


They probably have grasped the basic of simple combat in the fight against demon this time .


Afterward, they just need to learn how group battles work and some strong guys should appear among them in times even if I leave them alone .


. . . Well, the purpose of leaving the first wave to the students is more about saving my mana .


If some unexpected situations were to occur, having or not having mana would make a great difference .


Exp from the monsters in the first wave should be fewer than the second wave ones anyways, no need for me to force myself getting them .


We arrived at the destination while having that conversation and set up around 30 magic devices .


We had put them inside metal cases before burying them in the ground, so they shouldn"t get destroyed .


Now the problem is what monsters will appear in the second wave .


Would be cool if some strong nice monsters came out then .
