“Supreme Destruction” ―――― Is a power like the name says. A power worthy as a hero’s trump card, a magic of the highest grade. Kouki came as a beginner into this world, leveled up, gained experience and was able to slaughter all enemies with his special technique.
However, the Trent emerged unscathed from the dust.
[Impossible…..]
Kouki was unable to move because of that fact. Shizuku realized something and raises her voice.
[Kouki! Look at that! It wasn’t a direct hit!]
[Eh?]
When Kouki looked into the same direction as Shizuku, he saw a large amount of trees scattered around, broken into small fragments. Apparently, Kouki’s “Supreme Destruction” did not hit the Trent directly. It was prevented by a large amount of trees in the front.
Though there shouldn’t be any trees there? Where on earth did such a great amount appear from? The questions from Kouki’s group were answered by the Trent.
At that time, the Pseudo-Trent gave out a pale light. A large number of trees spread out from the base and grew in a very great force.
[…… Unique Magic.]
Suzu muttered. That opinion was right. It was the unique magic of the Trent of the “Sea of Trees”. It was freely able to create a large amount of trees and manipulate them freely.
[This, this is bad! This is sacred ground, the enemy of god will not be allowed to pass! “Absolute Virtue!”]
Suzu was momentarily dumbfounded, but was able to invoke “Absolute Virtue” immediately. Attacks poured in from all directions, while a shining barrier was deployed with Suzu’s group inside.
The branches which had a sharpened point like a spear gave an intense shock to the barrier one after another.
Not only the Trent, but also the surrounding trees also produced a similar attack. It seemed they wold get crushed to death by the almost oppressive amount of resources.
The “Absolute Virtue” won’t be able to hold out without a chant. It already cracked here and there, it did not seem to hold out for another several seconds. And, when Suzu’s barrier gets broken, will the others hold out till she deploys it again?…..Only an optimist would judge it doable.
[No good….anymore….]
Suzu realizes by the magic consumption, that the barrier will soon break and informs the others.
Kouki looks at Suzu. [Then i have to use “Limit Break” to survive!] He made his resolve. There is no choice but to accept that they need to use two of their trump cards directly at the first stage after entering a great labyrinth.
However, after guessing Kouki’s intentions, assistance came from the rear.
[“Forever Engraved”]
The reproduction magic “Forever Engraved”, which Kaori used – regardless of the substance of the object – can regenerate everything to the state one second ago every one second it is used.
Suzu’s “Absolute Virtue” which seemed to break at any moment, gets surrounded by a silver light. After one beat, the barrier recovered to its dignified appearance af if nothing happened. Even after the attacks of the Trents , it returns to its original state. “Absolute Virtue” is repaired every second.
[Wow, Kao-rin! Thank you!]
Suzu, while maintaining the barrier, looks back and thanks Kaori. Kouki and the others slighty relax their bodies because they got of the predicament and look to the back.
There, the Trents surrounded Hajime’s group like it did to Kouki’s. Hajime and the others did not seem to care about it.
Four “Cross Bitts” were arranged by Hajime in the surroundings and a triangular pyramid was spread as a barrier. (TL: Like this: http://www.math-salamanders.com/images/lgs-3d-shape-triangular-based-pyramid.gif) The space interception type produce a spatial magic “Four-Point Barrier”.
“Reproduction Magic” isn’t even used and still there are no signs that the barrier gets shaken. It seems to be a totally impregnable castle wall, without allowing any attack to come near.
[That seems to be the limit. I thought they would hold out longer…..]
Hajime murmured while looking down at Kouku who had a complicated look.
[U~n, Wouldn’t they be fine if the hero-san uses his “Limit Break”?]
[I wonder. Well, if he goes over his limit maybe…… However, what will happen after he weakens after that? It is unlikely that he can recover from the fatigue of his “Limit Break” with healing magic.]
[…..It may be possible with Reproduction Magic.]
[I don’t want to use it as the magic consumption is big. It’s still too early for that.]
[Fumu. Well then, we should clear up here before the hero-boy uses it.]
Hajime was wondering if Kouki and the others would be acknowledged to have cleared the great labyrinth. Kouki and the others should obtain the age of gods magic , because [If Nointos appear in a great amount we could use the “throw the heroes at them”-strategy.]
