Chapter 277 Strongest Sage, a.n.a.lyzes Magic Circle
"Your worry is unfounded . . . The only thing that matters for sparring partners are strength . . . He"s more than qualified being the one who defeated 『Composite Test Body No . 1』 . "
"That"s true . . . It"d be a waste to crush a promising seeker of magic as a sparring partner in our experiments . I got it . I"ll admit him as our experiments" sandbox . "
Looks like it went well .
Also, seems like they"re underestimating me, but that"s all the better .
Their first test body was crude--But it appears that these Anmorr brothers have quite the confidence on the next one .
The last one was [Composite Test Body No . 1] but the next one will be [Strengthened Test Body No . 1], so it"s probably not a fusion of multiple people this time .
. . . No clue what will come out, but we can"t be too careful here .
These Anmorr brothers seem to be decently competent with magic techs, and they have the help of [Supranatural Art] on top of it, so there"s a chance of a strong one coming out .
It might prove difficult to beat it alone like I did earlier .
『 . . . Girls, I may need your help in the battle next time, make sure you"re ready . 』
『I understand!』
『Gotcha!』
The next test body is probably a magically remodeled body .
In that case, there"s a chance we can nullify the alteration by having Alma shoot at it with a specific counter-spell .
It"s impossible for humans to create [Supranatural Art] .
The only thing they can do is merely combining [Supranatural Art] brought by s.p.a.ce monsters with magic .
Even if our opponent is employing [Supranatural Art], the part created by Anmorr Brothers will be nothing but magic .
It should be possible to counter that part with the right magic .
. . . Of course, these Anmorr brothers must have antic.i.p.ated that as they create the spell art as well, thus we"ll probably need a relatively complex counter magic .
Anmorr brothers spoke through comm magic as I thought that .
"Well then, we"ll inform you location of the test site in 36 hour . Go make preparations . "
"Make sure you"re in top condition you hear me! [Test Body Number 2] won"t be able to show its strongest if you don"t!"
They cut off the comm after saying that .
I picked up the fallen comm magic tool .
" . . . That went well . "
"Too well maybe . . . Will it be really alright?"
"Of course we have to be careful since we"ll be jumping right into their ring . . . They made this thing after all . "
I handed over the comm magic tool to Ruli .
Ruli stared at it seriously . . . And muttered .
"W-what a really complex magic circle . . . I can"t read it at all . . . "
"Our opponents are most likely quite well versed in magic . . . And there"s probably a Glory Crest user among them . Otherwise, they couldn"t have created this . "
"Are you sure this doesn"t have a bug function inside?"
Ruli is looking at the magic tool with a worried look .
Showing this kind of concerns with magic circles you can"t read is only natural for augmenter mages .
However, Ruli"s worry itself is just a needless anxiety .
"Nah, nothing like that . This magic circle is only used for concealing the source of transmission . "
" . . . Mathi-kun, you can read this magic circle?"
"Not only can I read it, I understand its functions as well . . . It"s been made so that it can"t be traced back though . "
Concealments that tell you the source of transmission just from knowing its structure are third rate .
Properly made transmission concealments cannot be traced back even if you know how they work .
. . . Well, I know about this magic circle even if I were unable to read it .
This comm magic tool is a type that was often used to communicate in secret in the past era .
Those who studied even a bit of secure communication in the past era would know about this magic tool .
Though this magic circle cost way too much to create due to its complexities, so in reality, a simpler cheaper magic circle was more widespread back then .
