Episode 46.16 (2/2)
”Nah. Your offensive cover was superb. Those were some incredible <Magic Quivers>.”
”It's a work of art that can instantly shoot out eight magic arrows all at once by directly pouring mana into it instead of deploying magic stones. And I've got four of them. Shooting 320 magic arrows all at the same time burns through your mana like nothing else.”
”Figures. By the way, so you got a big enough <Free Box> to store those gigantic things huh.”
”I sure do. An especially made one just for those.”
”Really huh. Hold on a bit. Eda,
please.”
”Un.
.”
Eda cast
on Jiza, Lecan, Arios and Julius. Then she turned around.
Ui was kneeling down next to the fallen Boruk.
The other members walked up to them.
”
.”
”Ah. Much obliged, Eda-dono.”
Boruk has got its head torn off and both arms twisted. Its body is full of damage too.
”This is terrible.”
”That damaged body is mostly done in by your magic though.”
”Obaba-sama. What will become of Boruk now?”
”Hmn. There might be no saving it with all this damage. Hold on a moment.”
Jiza put away the <Seven Headed Blue Wand> and took a thin wand.
”By the names Mazara Wedepasha and Yacklubend Tomato, Jiza Morfes command you. Clay Doll Boruk, by my decree, go back to your fleeting slumber.”
But nothing happened. Boruk lay sideways, still broken.
”It's not coming back. I suppose that means this is the end of the road for Boruk-chan.”
”End of the road, is it.”
”Leaving it here is our only option. He was one hardworking Artificial Wrinkle Man that had served our household for many years. Thank you for everything, Boruk-chan.”
They could bring back Boruk's wreckage if they put it in Lecan's <Storage>. Lecan thought of suggesting that for a moment, but stopped short. There's no place more apt to be Boruk's grave than Dungeon Palcimo. Jiza probably thought the same thing.
Lecan went back to the magic wolf. He gotta retrieve this precious material before it's gone for good.
He put away <Demon Wolf Cutter> and took out a Solid Sacred Silver sword, then he made a huge cut on its abdomen and picked out a huge chunk, flesh and entrails included, around the magic stone. The body didn't disappear. Success. Then he took the magic stone out of its flesh. It's a huge magic stone hiding extraordinary amount of mana. The flesh crumbled into ash.
”Obaba. Feel free to collect the magic wolf's body.”
”Yea. I'll be keeping it.”
Jiza put away the body in a <Free Box> and the magic stone in another <Free Box>.
”Still, I couldn't help but be surprised by Eda-san's quick wit.”
”Same with me. I was wondering why would she do something stupid as casting
on a magic beast.”
”I was gobsmacked by that too. To think one would use
to force Chaotic Magic Wolf into its anti-magic mode.”
”Ehehe. Like, didn't Guide Jiza-sama said it too. My
is versatile.”
”So that was the impetus. Doesn't matter the kind of magic used, Chaotic Magic Wolf changes its property when it is hit by magic. Nevertheless, who would even come up with that. And both <Recovery> as well as
will stick on the target no matter how violent they get struggling about.”
Neither <Recovery> nor
heals magic beasts. They deal damage on a few types of magic beasts even. Especially Apparition type.
”Guess we discovered a way to defeat <Chaotic Magic Wolf> huh.”
”No, no. That is not so, Lecan-chan. You won't find a <Recovery> user who can come to such a deep floor. Besides, I have never seen a mage capable of casting <Recovery> and
from a distance like Eda-chan. To top it off, her accuracy and speed. It's as if they've been honed as offensive spells.”
”Ehehehe.”
”But who'd think a <Chaotic Magic Wolf> would spawn on floor 150.”
”Dungeons are where the unexpected occurs. It's what makes them so interesting.”
”Oh, I see. Is that how it works.”
”That's how it works. By the way, Obaba. Seeing it's you, you must have other means to defeat <Chaotic Magic Wolf> prepared.”
”Of course I do. But I could not find the right timing to take out anything other than the special <Magic Quivers> there.”
