I should have fired two shots, but there was not enough space. Even if you fire one shot and then prepare the next one, the second one will come flying at you.
On the other hand, given the evasion speed, if you make the range any smaller, they will evade you. You have to fire immediately after the first shot, like a tandem warhead, but faster than their rapid fire.
Oh.
Tandem warheads have smaller explosives in the front, right? Of course, this is because it is powerful enough to detonate the explosive reactive armor.
So how powerful does it need to be to detonate magic?
I've never seen a magic that didn't turn into a physical phenomenon when something hit it.
I don't know what this "something" is, but for the time being, it detonated when the spells collided with each other.
No matter how small it is, magic is magic and not air, so there is a possibility that even a tiny spell can detonate an enemy spell.
Let's give it a try. First of all, we need to make the spell small.
First of all, prepare a rock spear, which is no more than a grain of sand. I'll shoot a bunch of them at the birds in the sky.
It explodes right above my head, about 30 meters away. Apparently they were flying too close, but it seems to have worked.
I can hit it with this while preparing a big shotgun.
In order to prevent attacks, I released grains of sand, but the speed of the shot production did not seem to be slowing down.
Isn't this a very bad magic? Basically, all of the bullet magic is invalid.
Now that the shotgun is ready, fire it. As I watch the spear fly...
Oh, it self-destructed.
It seems he tried to explode at us while grains of sand were flying at him, and was hit by the explosion right in front of his mouth.
It seems that he was hit by an explosion in front of his mouth.
Did you ...... do it?
I tried in vain to raise a flag that I had not done it, but the bird fell straight to the ground.
But the bird fell straight to the ground, though it looked like it was falling straight down from my point of view.
Oh! Seriously, he dropped an Ixplundle while running!
"It's quite manageable.
"It's quite manageable," I reply while catching and storing the bird.
It's a piece of cake, to be honest.
You can fly up to it, and there are many other ways you could have done it.
I just didn't do it because it would have been a problem for the guards if the target had suddenly taken off.
It's a good thing they did, because that's how they created the magic.
An anti-air wizard with the strength of a warrior and the ability to move! I want one in my party! Come join us!
I wonder if the group was originally a party. It's true that they seem to work well together.
No, I prefer to play solo.
But I decline. I don't know what's so sad that I have to keep fighting with such an uncomfortable party.
There is no one faster than me, and there is no reason for me to be in a party all the time, let alone on occasion.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
You knew.
But unlike the others, this one can't be revealed.
This spell could be a wizard's greatest weakness.
I'd lose a lot of firepower if I used it.
I'm not going to reveal it unless I find a way to counter it.
I'll give it a name, though.
I'll call it "Magic Outburst" or something like that.
It doesn't match the actual situation, but it's better if it doesn't match the actual situation.
It's better if the name doesn't match the reality, but it's better if it doesn't match the reality, because it's hard to guess the principle with this name, even if you say it by mistake.
"Well, it's just a coincidence, isn't it?
Well, I covered it up for now.
Since I was not pursued, it seemed to have gone well.
After that, we drove straight on without any significant incident, and arrived at a place that seemed to be a desi-batrep.
Here we are.
Apparently, this is Desi Battley.
I say "apparently" simply because this place doesn't look like a city. It doesn't look like any city I've ever seen.
First of all, it's a basic rule that every city has a magnificent wall, but there is no such thing here.
There are three concentric circles of what looks like the remains of a wall, with a moat between them. There is no water in the moat, but it is a magnificent moat, about 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep.
If you jump over the moat, you will find something that looks like a wall. However, it is completely different in appearance from the ones in the city so far, and there are some demon shells or something protruding from the 3-meter-high wall, which seems to be made of kneaded earth.
Are they trying to replace the rebar in the reinforced concrete?
When you reach the wall, the first person jumps on it as if it were a matter of course.
Does this mean that they can't afford to build a gate to lower their defenses?
The inside of the city was completely different.
There were no buildings of more than two stories, and even those were sparse.
Most of the houses are made of wood and have many doors and windows. There were so many doors that it seemed as if they were going around putting a door in every room.
When I looked at the place where there seemed to be a commotion in the distance, I saw a demon-like creature and a human fighting.
It seems that the doors are to prepare for a sudden attack by demons. Is there no peace for the Decibatoreans?
While I was observing these things, I arrived at the guild. It seems to be located near the center of the city.
Around the center of the city, the density of buildings is increasing, and there are some stores, but even in the center of the city, there seems to be no peace of mind, and the guilds are full of doors.
Well, this city has a diameter of less than a kilometer, so if the demons are not defeated on the way, it will be reached in no time.
I'm here to report a transport request.
I show him my guild card and transporter card.
"Oh, you mean the party I was contacted about yesterday, the item box?
"Yes, where should I put it?
I'll show you the way now, the escort has been requested here, so you'll have to go through the formalities there.
I'm going to take you there now, the escort has completed his request here, so you can go there to complete the procedure." The guild member walks away and leads me to a place that looks like a food storage facility made by digging a hole in the ground.
Well, it's just underground, but it's like a small warehouse.
It seems to be much stronger than a normal warehouse, though.
You've filled it to the brim, but there's still a lot of food left in the item box.
"Next, this way.
And with that, the guild members walk out of the guild. Is he trying to disperse them?
But the destination is the food store next to the guild.
I just need to get in here, too.
What he showed me was a pantry slightly larger than the one in the guild.
I put my stuff in there too.
After going through several houses, we finally ran out of food.
"That's a lot of space. We've got what we asked for. Is the reward a card?
"Yes, that would be great.
When I handed over the card I had gotten at Photoren, the guild member put the card in a kind of box, fiddled with something, and handed it back to me.
On the card is written "18950000". That's nearly 20 million dollars.
Please keep it up, the transport has been putting a lot of pressure on my strength, now I can concentrate on fighting for a while.
"Yes, I will. It's a big advantage for us, too.
This is very profitable. I'll start a shipping company that doesn't rely on guilds.
It's a good idea to have a shop that can sell your products. ......1 Even if they take about 10% of your products, it's cheaper than setting up a sales office here.
If you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you're going to want to make sure you're getting the most out of your business.
Well, for now, I'll just go through the requests.
It would be a shame to leave without doing any trade.
Unlike the other cities, the requests were only for killing. And they were not rank-based.
Among the requests to defeat the black wolf and other demons, I found a strange request.
A request to kill
Rank: Any
Request: Cut down the trees around Desibatore.
Reward: 50,000 Tel per tree
Quantity: As many as you want
Remarks: Be careful, they are hard. We recommend using weapons made of special materials or axes.
Trees ......? It's a tree and you want to kill it?
And yet the price is 50,000 Tel.
What are you going to do with a tree? What are you going to do with it?
If that's the case, they won't be asking you to kill trees, they'll be asking you to procure them.
I'll ask the guild members.
"Excuse me, is the request to kill this tree just to cut a normal tree?
"Yes, that's right. If the demon's territory expands, the logging will be delayed, and if the logging goes well, there is a possibility of pushing it back. ...... Well, it's a pipe dream now.
I see, I'll go cut some trees.
Cutting down trees is very important.
In Japan, it was said that mankind and the forest should coexist in harmony, but in this world, trees seem to be mankind's enemy.
But in this world, it seems that trees are the enemy of mankind. Seeing as how the forests of Eine and Herrera were not so much the domain of demons, this may be a story limited to the demon front.
It's not like you're going to be able to do it alone.
"Well, I can fly, so if it comes to it, I can escape. If it looks dangerous, I'll run.
I can fly, so if something happens, I can escape.
But if there's a demon that can kill me now, even by surprise, then I'll probably join the battle regardless of whether I'm going to cut down a tree or not.
"Well, I can't force you, but be careful. The transport capacity alone is enough to push back the front line, if not maintain it, it's too good to lose.
"Yes, it's fine. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of these in the market.
With that, I leave the guild.
I climbed up into the sky and found that there were no trees on the Photoren side. There seems to be a five-fold difference in the number of demons on the Photoren side and the other side.
It would certainly be impossible to cut down trees in this situation.
I descended to the side of the forest and tried to cut them down with my magic sword as I passed them.
It snapped. It's not hard at all.
I was so vigorous I cut two of them.
Getting carried away, I held the staff in my left hand and the magic sword in my right hand and spread out my hands to cut them all down.
After cutting down three trees with the magic sword in my right hand, I saw a tree on my left, so I cut it down.
Crack!
Ouch. Very painful. I think I might have cracked my hand.
I couldn't cut it, on the contrary, the tree took the cane with it.
When I stopped, I found that the cane had cut into the tree by 10cm, but the trunk was 30cm thick.
This is impossible. It's only as sharp as an ordinary sword.
It's not as sharp as a magic sword.
Well, it's a staff, and it's also a strong sword, so it can be useful.
Anyway, it can cut a magic sword. And they cost 50,000 Tel a piece.
That's good. It's not as good as transportation, but transportation is over once you've transported as much as you need.
It's not like logging, which can be accomplished in any number of ways.
So hold the magic sword in your right hand, spread it out as wide as you can, fly past the left side of the tree, and cut it down.
Fifty thousand telltales are reaped row by row. On the way, I got into some demons, but I don't care.
This is not a battle, it's a harvest.
Demons and trees are just crops to be harvested.
I glided along for about three hours, cutting down trees, and then decided to return to the guild.
I was so tired that I forgot that I had been running for 8 hours before I got here.
...... Speaking of which, I cut down more trees in three hours than I can count, but I doubt most people can cut that many.
I think it's obvious that I can make millions in a day.
I wonder what they will say when I go to report it.
Well, I guess it's too late to ask for common sense at the point of transportation, but it's wrong to ask for common sense at Desibatore.
You can't say you're floating around in Decibatore, okay?
