'This is cold air ......?　Are you using your magic to chill the air?

Rowen is in a state of alert, sword at the ready, checking my magic.

He has no knowledge of magic. However, the skill 'Sensitivity' must be able to see through the identity of the magic. I instantly understand that 《Freeze》 is a magic of lowering temperature.

I continue to formulate my magic against Rowen, who continues to watch the situation.

The MP in ”Display” is visibly decreasing.

The amount of MP consumed is probably too much magic to be used against a single person.

However, it's not too much to use against Rowen. It's because I know this that I'm releasing a lethal amount of magical power that would be lethal to an ordinary person.

I'm going to fight with the intention of killing Rowen.

That's right, I intend to kill her.

Without this, I can't maximize my power.

I will expend a large amount of magical power in the safe zone and decide the game before it gets close.

I will gather information, make the first move, and overkill (overkill) my opponent without letting them do anything.

That's my original tactic.

The Magic of Cold Air ....... I'm not sure, but it doesn't sound like the kind of thing you can leave alone ......!

In front of the temperature that was dropping endlessly, Rowen stopped looking at it.

I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.

I dodge it and retreat.

I'm not going to have to retreat so much because of the ”magical materialization”. However, there is a small amount of time for the sword to extend. For that small amount of time, I get away from Rowen.

When I don't counterattack, Rowen fires a series of blows at me.

In response to that, I deploy not only my 'sensitivity' as a swordsman, but also my 'Dimension' as a wizard.

''--Dimension Decisive Operation (Gradient)!　--Dimensional Winter!

I use dimensional magic to figure out the trajectory of the sword and dodge it.

Then, he takes out bags and tubes from his 'belongings' and places them - where the sword passes by.

Lowen's sword slashes through those bags and tubes, and the contents are blown out.

--The contents are water.

A large amount of water is taken out of the 'belongings' that had been put into the 'belongings' to counter the heat near the 23rd layer, and more and more water is taken out of the 'belongings'.

'Water ......?　--that's how it works!

When I fought Reiner, he saw me freeze the fountain with Dimensional Winter (Di Winter) and Last Frost (Frost).

Rowen thought for a moment and immediately understood my purpose.

I move away from Rowen, adding a puddle of water to the ground. Thoroughly, I retreat.

I won't attack until I'm sure of a certain victory. The first thing we have to do is to increase the amount of water vapor.

I take a barrel full of water from my 'possessions' and smash it. This is the water I had prepared for Rastiara, who wants a lot of water in the labyrinth.

''It's the final combat arena!　I'll use the entire arena, Rowen!

And then he interferes with the water with his magical powers.

'Ah!　Feel free to do it!

Rowen happily accepts.

I do as I'm told and build new magic without reservation.

It's my first magic. But I'm confident it will succeed.

The original idea was a spell to control the realm of the Reapers and Arti.

The 'realm' is built with the image of a magic that does not assist you, but interferes with the enemy.

'-- Magic 《Winter's Other World (Wintry Dimension)》......!

The water flowing from the broken barrels rises as an icicle.

It also spread out countless branches of ice and scattered grains of ice into the space.

The temperature inside the arena suddenly dropped as one of the ice trees stood up.

At this stage, that's the only effect of this magic to end.

'You've got the camp (field) on your side or ....... But that's not enough to get me over ......!''

Brushing away the icicles in the air with his sword, Rowen tried to close the distance while avoiding the puddles of water at his feet.

''We can go over. As long as Rowen fights with the sword, there are many things that can't be cut. Then I can use it as a weapon to fight.''

Even Rowen can't slash off the cold air.

In fact, Rowen is now unable to stop the dropping temperature and has a large number of ice particles on his body.

As per the game's conventions, as a swordsman, his defense against magic is lax.

However, his physical abilities are high for that. He follows me as I flee, spraying cold air and water, and swings his sword at me.

I take out a replacement sword and a new long whip from my 'belongings'.

This is also my strength.

I can choose the most effective weapon depending on the situation.

”-- Magical [Ice Flamberge], Whip [Whip].

He swings the whip with his right hand while deflecting a flash of Rowen with his left sword.

Surprised, Rowen dodges the whip.

''An ice whip!

I swing my whip wildly and attack indiscriminately (randomly).

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. Then you can choose an attack like this that I can't even understand. I'm going to be able to make a profit if the whip is used to scratch Rowen's bare skin. I can freeze it and peel the skin off.

'How can I fight with just a sword when I know I'm going to lose, Rowen!　I'm not a 'hero' and I'm not a straight-up swordsman!　I'm an explorer!

”Haha, master, you're not worthy of being a teacher!

Rowen laughs and dodges all the erratic whips with his eyes.

Then, within seconds, he developed a new Alais-style sword technique against the whip, on the spot. His trajectory was discerned, and the whip was easily severed by his sword technique.

No problem.

I still have a replacement whip.

I don't have to fear losing my sword, spear, axe, hammer, throwing knife or bow and arrow.

This is also the strength of the explorer Aikawa Uzumi.

I use a wide variety of weapons to buy time and drain all the water out of what I have.

The amount of water we had to live in the labyrinth for many days was at least one pond's worth.

But it was still not enough.

''I'm almost--!

I was constantly chasing a certain number in space with dimensional magic 《dimension》 instead of 'sensitivity'.

This is the only thing that has to be counted, not by instinct, but by using math and scientific knowledge.

'What's left, Kanami!

It's not over until Rowen chokes!

I answer honestly.

Loewen laughs happily when she hears this.

'We don't want that!　Then we won't give them that time!

'Ugh!　--Midwinter in the Overcrowded Dimension!　It's called the Ice Flamberge.

Rowen foolishly believes my answer, and he comes at me with enthusiasm and flesh.

Regardless of the icicles in the air, Rowen closes the distance and extends her sword at me.

I abandon my unfamiliar whip and intercept it with my sword and my best magic.

It's the same way I've frozen Ragne's sword in the past. The moment I cross my sword and sword, I let the cold air transfer and freeze Rowen's sword of magic power.

Rowen, who was suddenly unable to expand and contract the sword's 'magic materialization', was pleasantly surprised.

''Ah, so that's what happens!

Oh, here we go!

But soon enough, Rowen understood the principle and responded by breaking the tip of his frozen sword.

Her body was dealing with it before she was surprised.

Even with the whip, the level of response was extraordinary.

But now I can understand why.

It's all because of the skill 'sensitivity'.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

Then let's refrain from making sword contact!

That would be great!

Just a little bit.

Only a little bit, really, but Rowen's momentum is weakened.

It's not a big handicap for him to fight while refraining from sword-to-sword contact. In a little while, he would be able to create an Aleis-style sword technique here that was ideal for the Ice Flamberge Sword.

However, that little bit is enough.

The little bit more time was important to me.

There's enough humidity and temperature already.

I could see the inside of the (・・・・・) arena, sealed off by the best wards in the Federation, was getting closer to the world I wanted to live in.

The temperature drops and the humidity rises.

The conditions of my own world, which can only succeed today, here and at this time, are being fulfilled.

A world that is different from the world of Rowen's sword.

But I believe it is a world that is comparable to it.

As I endure the onslaught, I make the final closing touches to my magic construction.

The moisture in the sky above freezes.

I interfere with it with my freezing magic and play with the temperature.

This field, which is only about a hundred meters in diameter, should be able to do it.

It doesn't exist in this confederation.

A reproduction of a real winter.

Not the ”Midwinter of the Overcrowded Dimension (Di Overwinter)” that momentarily emits excessive cold air.

The construction of a universal winter world.

The next magic after Dimensional Winter (Di Winter), Wintry Dimension (Wintry Dimension).

At last, the moisture in the sky above turns into crystals and begins to solidify and pour down.

Snow falls on the battlefield.

My vision is dyed white.

It's really limited.

Only today, it's an illusory world inside the sealed arena.

But it is, indeed--

The world has become winter.

”Ti, the grain of magic (Tiarei)--?
