Episode 31.23 (1/2)
”What I just showed you is physical <Barrier>. If you can see mana, it looks like a translucent bluish membrane, otherwise it's transparent.”
”I could not see anything. Only sensed a faint presence of it.”
”I'm going to put up one around that size, take care you don't bump into the thing.”
”I understand.”
”Okay then, we're entering once we're done preparing.”
”Yes.”
Lecan focuses his mind, put his mana in order, and once he's done, he quietly takes a step in the room where the <Guardians> are waiting.
”<Barrier>.”
He recited the activation spell as he was in, deploying anti-physical <Barrier>.
The enemy hasn't attacked yet.
Lecan slowly, slowly walked forward.
His foes are just standing around.
Lecan stopped moving after five steps.
Then after a slight delay, the two magic beasts charged out.
One of them held its left hand up.
A huge explosion occurred.
But Lecan is unharmed of course.
Another beast wielding a zweihander swung it with all its might.
The <Barrier> didn't even budge.
The <Armored> who shot magic earlier also rushed in slashing at Lecan with a short sword, but <Barrier> also blocked it.
Then the two attacked together in harmony. Lecan is not budging.
Then just as he saw Arios made his move, the next moment Arios was already next to the short sword beast, reaping its head.
Lecan slashed at the other magic beast's neck.

”<Barrier>!”
The zweihander the beast swung got stopped by <Barrier>.
Lecan was going to swing his sword again, but Arios had already lopped the beast's head off before he could.
Two treasure chests popped up. Naturally, one got a zweihander, the other was a short sword.
”What was that technique earlier.”
”It's called Tumbling Step.”
”Tumbling?”
”In falling down kind of sense.”
”Did you learn that in the last 40 days?”
”No. I already knew how to execute the technique even before that. However, I did not have the confidence to pull it off against enemies found this deep in this dungeon.”
Then he must have gone off on a training to take hold of that confidence during the past 40 days.
”Oh yeah, does that sword drawing technique got a name.”
”We call it <Glint Fang>.”
”I see.”
