148 Episode 148 "" Cheat Skill "vs." Cheat Skill Seal "vs." Cheat Skill Seal Back "(with additional attacks)".txt (2/2)

And Letitia is looking straight at me. Even I'm uncomfortable, because what I'm about to do is like therapy, and I don't always feel the same way. Letitia is only going to be my slave for the next few minutes. Telling myself that, I disclose Letitia's skills.

'Rotating Shield-Shooting [Shield Scramble], LV 1'

'Shield' - 'Ice' to 'Stir' - 'Enemy' - 'Ice' with 'Shield' - 'Ice' - 'Ice' skill

There's a lot of ice stuck between your concepts.

Is this what you mean by contaminating your skills? The ice between the concepts is interfering with the person's magical power and communication. So it's blocking the skill itself and interfering with his mental activities.

If that's the case, it's easy to deal with.

Basically, you can't 'rebuild' a skill once it has been 'rebuilt'. But you can shift the ”concept” or calm it down.

I wrapped the 'magic thread' around the 'concept' of the skill so that it wouldn't touch the 'ice'.

'A little stimulation is going, Leticia.

Heh, it's nothing. Do you know who I am? ──────

Bikun.

Leticia's back trembled loudly as she shed her magic power.

''Oh, it's a hot ....... This .......

It's pouring my magic into you now. If it's hot, it's just right. Let's see if this can melt the ice: ......

”Shieldslayer Lv 1.

The ”ice” skill to ”stir” ”enemies” and ”ice” with ”shield” and ”ice”.

Okay. The ice strings attached to the concept have been removed.

Now all we need to do is shift the concept a little bit...

Rotating shield fire Lv 1.

You can use your shield and ice skills to churn your enemies' ice.

Hmmm... ────────

Squeak...... poof.

Leticia lifted her legs - her toes, squeezed, curled up - and just like that, she broke free.

'Are you okay?　Should we slow down a bit more: ......?

But he says it's all right!

Letitia looked at me, with tears in her eyes.

'Anyway, ...... anyway!　Get it over with: ......

All right. I know what to do, so I'll just go with speed, okay?

When I said that, Letitia turned bright red and nodded her head.

'............ please do so ...... or else ...... I ...... As it is: ............

?

It's nothing.

Letitia scowled at me enviously.

I agree with you that it should be over quickly. And I don't know how much longer this ice is going to stay put.

I know what to do about it.

When we're connected and I pour my magic into it, everyone in the master-slave contract feels the heat. That will melt the ice. If you shift The Concept, the ice will lose its support and come off. So...

It's over.

Hi, I'm ....... Hmmm... ──────!

Letitia's body trembled and itched.

I poured my full strength into the Revolving Shield Attack and shifted the concept.

And then...

”Shieldslayer Lv 1.

The skill to use the shield to stir the enemy.

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

”Ice.” ”Ice.” ”Ice.” ”Ice.

'The ice is falling!　Now!

'Hey, hey ...... Nagi!　You can't touch ──── right now...!

Thump, thump.

I slapped Leticia on the back as I poured my magic power into her, at the same time.

''Hn──────!

Leticia cleared her throat and raised her voice.

From the center of her chest, the ice that had gotten inside her popped out.

It was because the skill was no longer able to parasitize her. There was no way the ice could exist permanently with just the magic power of the 'Veil'. That's why that ice is probably eating the host's magic power and using it as energy. In order to maintain its own existence and further serve the role of pollution.

Perhaps because it was originally created with magical power, the ice is terribly light - flying a long distance - and

The person who created the ice - the person who created the ice - stuck to the body of ”Vale”.

''Ah.''

Gah────────!!!

Scream.

The ice, which contaminates skills and destroys even memories and emotions, doesn't hesitate to enter The Veil.

What happened after that is hard to tell from ...... outside.

The only thing that happened was that the Veil looked at us through blurry eyes and then fainted.

...... What do I do?

...... No, I don't think I can do anything about it.

Let's leave the rest to the regular soldiers of Ilgafa.

Yes.

But there is, isn't there?

'The Veil' and Baroness Larambell had conspired to send gargoyles into the town.

No one died, they say, but there were people injured, and stalls and houses destroyed. That's reason enough for the regular soldiers of Ilgafa to arrest them. I'll share what we learn with you through Iris.

The Veil probably won't be able to use his skills anymore. Maybe it's blocked his memory.

I'm not sure what happens when the skill-blocking skill is returned: ...... I'll be careful too.

I'm not sure what to do with that, by the way, Arujidono, what are you going to do with that?

What's that?

I looked over and saw Cutlass pointing to a magic circle in the center of the room.

A piece of ice was buzzing above it.

'...... You still have some left?'

A piece of ice was nearly melted when I took it out of Letitia.

Some of it had broken off and ended up in the middle of the room.

It's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on it, it's also a matter of when. I'm sure it will disappear in time ...... so let's find another use for it.

I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm not sure if that magic circle is still connected to that weird demon-like creature?

It's connected. Arujidor.

As I asked, Fynn, in her nightgown, appeared above Cutlass' head.

'I'm just pausing the transporter as you instructed, sir.

Do you have any idea what it's like over there?

”Yes,

Fynn held up an amulet with a crystal on it - a 'Sacred Relic (Artifact)'.

''This is something that transitions to a place where you have set up a magic circle in advance. That's why it has the ability to confirm whether the transfer destination is safe or not. According to that, that demon god is located ...... in the direction of the commercial city Metekal. It's a sealed space. It's probably a hidden room in the basement.''

Are there people around?

He's not here.

So, will it bother anyone?

You won't be doing this, will you?

Me and Fynn looked at each other and grinned.

It's getting kind of fun.

I'm with the guy who tried to poison my best friend. Can't blame him for a little payback.

”Finn. If that space is connected to this place just one more time and the Demon God appears, you have 15 seconds to disarm it. After that, make sure you can't transfer to the new location. Can you do that?

Of course.

”Lord. Am I good?

Suddenly, a figure-sized Leggy appeared at my back with a pop.

To tell you the truth, there's an acid slime waiting for you on the other side of this room's door.

Acid slime?

”Acid Slime

A red slime with a strong acid.

They have a habit of eating metal by melting it.

It doesn't eat humans, but if you touch it, the acid will melt your skin and flesh, making it quite dangerous.

It is sometimes used as a trap by stuffing it into treasure chests and jars.'

It's a good thing that the slime bringer has a reaction to my slime domination skill: Solution Creature Control. I had planned to sneak in through the doorway and attack the ”Veil” from behind: ...... The slimes were not fast enough for me.

But how could it be?

”They say you were locked in a jar outside the door.

...... trap.

”Perhaps.

If we broke a jar or something, an angry acid slime was going to attack us.

Is there anything else outside the door?

There were two soldiers who touched the doorknob and froze their hands and feet. The impact of their fall must have broken the jar.

...... for being a meticulous trap.

If you touched the door, you were supposed to activate the ”Skill Pollution Skill” of ”The Veil”....

It really was a good decision to break through the ...... wall to get in.

'Well, it's fine. It's fine if you're on our side. Call me.

”Mm. He's locked in a jar with no questions asked and is very angry. He says he wants to go wild. He also says he wants to go far away so no one can catch him.

With that, the figure-sized Leggy raised his arms on my shoulders with a ”teya”.

After a while, a bright red slime comes in through the doorway. There are two of them. At Leggy's direction, I move to the magic circle on the floor. Yup. I guess we're ready now.

'Then Fynn, please.'

Copy that. Portal open!

Fynn, while floating in the air, pinched the hem of her nightgown and bowed.

And then──in the magic circle, a light flashed.

The space wavered.

With a faint vibration, something huge is about to emerge from the magic circle.

Olocanal Monoyo.

A black arm with claws emerged from the magic circle.

Becha.

The ice contaminating the skill stuck to the black arm.

''Waggaaruzinoteki ......te. Gah──────!''

Furthermore, the two 'acid slimes' on top of the magic circle disappeared.

They seemed to have shifted to the other side.

''Ah!　What are you doing?　Nandeslime Gako ni?　No, no!　I'm scared to death...!　Uh, no!　I'm not going to let this item go to waste, I'm not going to let it go to waste!

That's enough, Fynn.

Copy that. Portal closed. Destination removed from amulet!

Sloppy.

The black arm retracted.

The light disappeared from the magic circle that had been drawn on the floor.

That was it.

...... Really, you're relentless, Nagi-san.

I turned around and Letitia was looking at me like she was gasping.

'It's the least I could do.'

Really?

'You tried to destroy my best friend's (Letia) skills and memories.

............ Hmmm.

For some reason, Letitia puffed out her cheeks and turned her head to the side.

The collar that adorned her white neck has disappeared neatly. It looks like the contract was terminated because I fulfilled my wish of 'knowing how to decontaminate'.

It better be. Thanks to Letitia's help, I've learned how to counter the skill contamination. If someone uses a similar skill again, I can easily cut through it. That's more than enough of an accomplishment to break the contract.

'You know what, Nagi-san?'

But Letitia looked at me, nudging her neck.

I'm wondering if you'll keep this to yourself and Aine and the others.

Yeah. Okay.

That was easy.

'Letitia is a nobleman too, you know. I know you don't want people to know that you're someone's slave, even if it's only temporarily.

Don't get me wrong, sir!

...... Huh?

Why is Letitia angry?　How is it that you have your hands on your hips and your chest turned away, glaring at me?

Wow, I'm your best friend!　I don't care about being my best friend's slave in an emergency!　What I'm concerned about is ...... that ...... I'm not sure if I'm going to be allowed to remain a slave or not... ...

Come to think of it, Letitia, you said it.

That if you fail to remove the skill contamination, you can't help it, even if you remain a slave.

'I see, so what Letitia cares about is that you tried to accept that you remain a slave.

...... That's right, ...... because he's so warm and ...... gentle. ............ its ......

Letitia held her chest and then looked up at me...

It was nothing, sir!　Anyway, it's a secret!　That's great!

All right. It's a secret between me and 'Letia'.

When I said that, Leticia's face turned a blah, blah, blazing red.

''So, it would be foul to call me a nickname here!

Sorry.

I hurriedly reiterate.

And there were different numbers. So it's me, Letia, Cutlass, Fihn and Reggie's secret.

Surprisingly, there's a gallery...

Leticia, she's got her head in her hands.

I look at Cutlass, Fynn, and Reggie, who had appeared before I knew it, and I put my finger to my lips and murmur, ”Naisho”; the three of them pause in the same pose and say, ”Naisho-suite”, ”Naisho, ne”, and ”Naisho not”. They all looked at me strangely kindly.

”Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... ──────── n!

Suddenly I heard a wolfish howl from across the forest.

'It's Rita. You're pretty close.

I know because I've been in contact with Cecil and the others in 'Consciousness Sharing and Reforming' all along.

Rita changed into her beast form in Full Beast Transformation (Beast Mode) and was the first to rush over.

I send a message to Cecil and Iris, ”This one is taken care of. I'm going to send them a message to tell them that it's okay.

The rest is .......

”Let's search the house before Rita and the others arrive.

I said.

Letitia, Cutlass, Fynn, and Reggie raised their hands to 「「「「 Sansei 」」」」.

I'm going to have to hand over the Vale and Baroness Lalambert to Ilgafa's regular soldiers ...... We'll also look for any clues related to the White Guild in this Western-style house.

However, we won't touch anything dangerous.

You won't open any drawers or break any jars like in an RPG.

It's an adventure until you get home. Safety is the first priority.
