26 Episode 25 Armor and Shotguns (2/2)

My sword and magic levels did not increase.

By the way, I've been using my wand to speed up my magic, but I haven't improved the magic I use with it.

That was enough for now, and considering the MP consumption, I don't think I can make a spell that is simply fuel efficient and strong.

However, it would be nice to have a spell that is easy to use.

I'm going to hunt bandits tomorrow, so I'll just prepare spells for opponents and try the rest the day after tomorrow.

There are some skills that are good for opponents in games, but they are definitely not efficient in this world.

It's flashy, and it's the kind of skill that involves attacking unrelated areas with flames.

So, what is the best magic for opponents?

First, the power. This is not so necessary. Unlike other animals, humans do not have thick fur.

They may have heavy armor, but for the time being, assume a lightly armored opponent.

Next is speed, and the faster the better. To do so, you must wait for a new wand.

You can buy a replacement wand, but it won't be as good. There is no way to change this.

Now, what do you want at the expense of power?

Small rock spears flying at the enemy in large numbers, that's it.

The hideout was like a cave, so I was afraid to use fire, and water is not very penetrable.

There was a wind attribute, but it was also not suitable for attacking. It would be a good target for an opponent who had some means of long-range attack, like floating or something.

Hmm? Maybe if you don't float, but let the wind go around your body at high speed, it would be strong enough to prevent long range attacks?

I tried to use magic with that image.

I feel that a very fast wind is blowing around me. If I put up an umbrella, it might be blown away. It seems that this consumes 10 magic power per second.

The grass around me also looks as if it is being blown by the typhoon.

As a test, I picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it up to my head.

The stone flew straight up and landed on my head.

If you don't have enough power to blow up a pebble, you won't be able to block even a pebble. Even if I shift the trajectory, the distance is not enough.

Rather than that, why don't you make a wall directly on the surface of your body with magic power? The wizard in the game must have used such a skill.

I was a physical firefighter, so I had nothing to do with such assistance, and only had a few doping skills that increased my personal attack power.

I tried to poke my hand with a stone, but the magic pushed the stone away and I couldn't grab it.

It would have been convenient if it had only repelled the harmful ones, but it doesn't seem to do that.

I have no choice but to use the spell on my face and poke my cheek with the stone I picked up.

The stone was blocked by the spell and did not reach my face. There seems to be no problem even if you poke it rather hard.

Instead, the status of the stone shows that it consumes a little bit of magic power every time it is poked.

I think this is an attempt to offset the attack with the magic used to make the armor, and make up for it. This is the most natural explanation.

I found out through various tests that this spell, like other spells, can have a lot of magic power in it beforehand.

Also, it seems that clothes are considered as a part of your body and are not removed. But weapons were not. I don't know the criteria.

I decided to cast this spell on all parts of my body except my hands. The reason is that, like a tentacle plate, once deployed, it does not consume magic until it is attacked.

You can't sit on a chair or eat food, so you have to cast it when you leave the city. Incidentally, I tried this by eating a leaf that was not poisonous.

Always protect your eyes, just in case. No matter how many tentacles you have, getting something in your eyes is always a problem.

That's enough for defense. Next is attack. I was originally going to develop offensive magic.

I'm not going to use magic to strengthen my body like in the game. One wrong move and you could end up exploding in a heap. Scary!

I don't think I can use wind magic. I don't think it's very offensive.

Water magic, I'm not going to put down a mob, I'm going to kill bandits. Rejected.

Fire magic, I don't feel like using it in a cave. I'd strangle myself.

Earth magic then. A small rock spear would be like a bullet and small enough for a man.

Unlike a beast, a man can easily be killed by a bullet in his limb.

Instead of miniaturization, what we want is numbers.

Until the new cane is completed, the speed will not be that fast, but once the barrage is set up, there is no way to avoid it.

If a human being is 40cm wide and spears are lined up horizontally with a width of 30cm, there is no way to avoid them.

However, it is not possible to deploy magic in a long horizontal line. The point where they start to fly would be too far from the body.

So, it is like a shotgun. It doesn't fly like a real shotgun, but like the shotgun in Mohand.

In order to increase the suppression power, the bullets are 1/50th of the normal bullets, and 7×50=350 long spears fly like a shotgun.

I thought that 1/50th might not be enough firepower, but looking at the bullet hole, it seems to have bitten into the tree about 2cm.

Even at this level, it would be enough to buy some time. Besides, there would be another spear flying at me in 0.5 seconds. The impact of such a large number of spears is not insignificant. As for anti-personnel magic, I'll use my magic armor and my rapid-fire shotgun.
