139 Episode 139 "One-time Great Magic for Safety and Emergency Avoidance".txt (1/2)

About a dozen minutes before Letitia received Reggie's message.

Let's get ready.

At the top of a rocky hill by the road, I said.

On the street you can see from here, there are chunks of brown and white cowering in the street. I can't make out the details, but the brown one is a zombie, the white one is a skeleton, and the vague one is probably a ghost.

The other things moving on the street are a carriage and some figures. Leticia must be among them.

The herd of undead is chasing waves of people. This battle isn't over yet, at the very least. We have to hurry.

”Will my message be understood by the blue-haired girl with the righteous mind?

It's a good thing that you're able to get the best out of it,” said Reggie, who was in his magic sword state behind me.

I would have preferred something more flamboyant, which would have considered the depths of the blue-haired girl's mind: ...... The Lord has a way of ruining things

I told you there's no such thing as an 18-bit piece of material or personal information.

”What? I'm the one who won the rock-paper-scissors tournament.

Stop rocking on people's backs.

You have a wide foothold, but we are at the top of a rocky hill. What if we fall? I don't have any more White's skills, and I can't overcome gravity.

Thanks for the ride. White.

I patted the 'Armband of the Heavenly Dragon' on my right arm.

”...... You're welcome!

A faint voice comes back to me.

The reason I've been able to climb up to this point is because of White.

The skill she acquired the other day, ”Rebiteishon,” allowed her to defy gravity and run up the mountain in one fell swoop.

Rebiteishon.

The special ability of The Bracelet of the Heavenly Dragon. It causes the entire party to levitate in the air.

Although you can't move horizontally (if you want to move horizontally, you'll have to use magic such as ”Arrow of Fire” for propulsion or hook a rope to a tree), you can easily climb up at least a rocky mountain.

We came to the top of the rocky mountain because the skills we're about to use are pretty obvious.

So we needed to come to a place where we could be out of the way and out of sight.

Are you guys ready to go?

Wow, I'm always ready for more.

I'm ready for it.

Cecil and Rita said as they stuck to me.

The top of the rocky mountain is about the size of a tiny park. Still, it's pretty scary because of the height. It's nice not to be disturbed, though.

Cecil has been hugging my arm since a while ago, and Rita - perhaps afraid of heights - is only staring at my face. The rocky mountain is only a few hundred meters high.

There are five of us here - me, Reggie, Cecil, Rita and Cutlass.

It's me, Cecil and Rita who use our new cheat skills. Cutlass has come as our escort.

Cutlass. From now on, we're going to be vulnerable for a while.

Yes, sir!

I don't think it's nothing. I'll just need your protection.

For my life!

Cutlass touched the armor of Valhalla.

I won't let any of them touch it, even if my armor shatters!

Thanks, Cutlass. Let's get started then, Cecil, Rita.

Me, Cecil and Rita stood in a position where we could see the ground.

For safety's sake, we'll be a few meters away from the edge.

If we were about to fall, Cutlass was supposed to pull us out, but just in case.

Then I put my hand on Cecil's chest.

'──── hmmm,'

With a jerk, he connects the ”thread of magic” to the center of her trembling chest.

Rita is next. Rita takes my hand in hers and leads me to the center of her chest.

After connecting the magical thread in the same way, I activate 'Ability Rebuild Lv 6' and I'm ready to go.

''Activate. Crossing of Ability (Skill Crossing).

I activate the skill.

It's not difficult to use this skill. All I have to do is connect the skills to each other with the 'magical thread'.

The cheat is the way it's done.

Basically, once a skill has been rebuilt with 'Ability Rebuild', it can't be rebuilt again. It's because you won't be able to move the concept around.

However, this skill can temporarily 'emulate' (emulate) only the 'concept' of the cheat skill and use it.

”Let's go. Cecil, Rita.

Yes, sir. - No, thank you.

I called up Cecil's ”Chanting Ancient Language” and Rita's ”Seize Divine Power” in the ”Ability Rebuild” window.

'Ancient Language Chanting,' LV2.

The skill of casting ”spells” in ”detail

Seizure of Divine Power, Lv 1

The skill to become aware of the owner's divine power.

We don't move the ”concept”. I just ”connect” them.

I'm going to connect the two skills with ”magical threads” as if they were intersecting each other to create a pseudo-new effect.

I've experimented with the process of connecting them beforehand.

But only Cecil, Rita and Aine were able to do it.

It seems that in order to use this skill, you have to be 'soul-concerned'.

...... Nagi-sama ...... me ............ something... ...much like ...... bigger.

”...... Wow, I'm also ............ Cecil's ...... vision. ...... looks like ......

Cecil and Rita looked at me.

Both of them had bright red faces and seemed to be lost in a strange sensation.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to be able to say that I'm not the only one, but I'm not the only one, and I'm not the only one.

...... at the same time?

The hand that was raised involuntarily hit the nape of Cecil's neck. Then...

What? Ahhhh?

Cecil and Rita shouted at the same time.

They both look at each other as if they are surprised.

Is this... is this... is this doubling of senses?

I could feel Nagi's touch on my skin.

I'm connecting Cecil and Rita's skills with the 'magical thread'.

Because of that, Cecil and Rita seem to feel that their bodies are overlapping each other.

”How's the pain?　Also, do you have a fever, a racing heart, or numbness in your hands and feet?

Yeah, it's okay.

Cecil's brown skin turns bright red and his eyes are thorny, and he replies

''It's just ...... that, how can I say, the happiness of being touched by Nagi-sama comes through twice as much ......''

It's like you can feel the 'hindu' in us both: ......

Rita is holding her beast ears in embarrassment.

'My senses are getting through to you, Cecil-chan. ...... I'm so embarrassed.

Isn't it painful?　I asked, and we both shook our heads.

Then ...... let's keep going.

Right now, we have to do something about the undead anyway.

This was the only way we could come up with the fastest way to get rid of them without causing any damage to us or to Leticia and the others. It's pretty cheesy, but it's no substitute for the safety of my family and 'best friend'.

I connected the 'concept' of Cecil and Rita's skills with a thread of magic power.

...... Is this going to work?

The concept of the two skills looks like this under normal conditions.

'Ancient Language Chanting', LV2.

The skill of casting ”spells” in ”detail

Seizure of Divine Power, Lv 1

The skill to become aware of the owner's divine power.

The ”thread of magic” is tied to this in the following order.

'Owner' - 'Spell' - 'Divine Power' - 'Detail' - 'Chant' - 'Notice'

I focused my attention on 'Skill Crossing'.

I feel like I can do ....... I have a feeling it's a good fit.

Yeah, maybe. That'll do it.

We're running out of time. Let's go. Cecil, Rita.

Yes.

I'm applying.

As I murmured that in my head, a new window was created from the skill 'Ability Crossing'.

It moves between Cecil's ”Ancient Language Chanting” and Rita's ”Divine Power Grab”.

The concept of the two skills is displayed in the Crossing of Powers window in the order in which they are connected by the thread of magic power.

'Owner' - 'Spell' - 'Divine Power' - 'Detail' - 'Chant' - 'Aware'

............ I can see it too. I can feel the connection between Nagi-sama, Rita-san and ...... me. It's a combination of magic and skill, and it's ...... something from there.

Yeah. Nagi, Cecil and I have something that is ...... going to be born from ...... what is this...?

Between the connected Cecil's Rita, the letters in the window change.
