118 The Shadow and the Shadow (1/2)

Three-dimensional magic circle. Let the words roll around in your mouth.

I am almost an amateur in the field of magic. I've managed to learn a few spells that I can use in my daily life by reading grimoires, but none of the spells I've learned can be used for offense.

It may be that it is faster to hit someone, but powerful offensive magic is a secret technology to begin with.

Even in the grimoires Senri had collected, there were no offensive spells of the level that I would dare to learn.

You can't learn powerful magic without a sorcerer master. You also need qualities. That's why science and technology have developed despite the existence of the miracle of magic.

The spells I have learned over the course of many days are only the most elementary, the ones that can be activated with one's body.

However, magic is essentially the use of many tools, catalysts, and rituals.

Magicians. I've heard the word before.

It's a ritual to exercise powerful magic.

I've never heard the word ”3D magic circle” before, but since it's called a 3D magic circle, it must be .................. 3D.

Sable's curse is making my head and body hurt like they are being torn apart.

The fact that I haven't shed a tear yet is just a sign of strength. The Lord who refuses to give me information even in this situation should be destroyed right now.

Senri frowns at the words of Lord through my mouth.

”3D ...... magic circle?

I'm not sure. So it's a ...... 3D magic circle. Three-dimensional, what?

”It's a ............ what?

Senri doesn't know there's a Lord inside me yet. She's suspicious because he's not communicating information properly.

I looked around and pretended to be investigating in order to buy time.

The Lord, who had been flying around in all directions, laughed.

”The surgeon is a very strong man. But ......... The Demon Lord of the False Shadow ............ made a mistake .......

I want to cut you in half with a machete.

It seems that I haven't studied enough. ...... I should think of some way to improve.

I've been fighting ever since I started my journey with Senri, if you think about it.

I wanted to pretend to be wobbly and hug Senri to buy some time, but I couldn't do that with the golem attacking me.

Senri was staring at me, waiting for me to say something.

”You mean ............?

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

Yes, .......

Senri's gaze is cold because of the ghosts. It was my mistake to try to gain Senri's favor by using Lord's words.

The Lord of Bones is laughing at me.

The Lord of Bones chuckled, ”Look at the ...... end. There aren't many magicians who can create a magic circle like this. This is necromancy, once known as reincarnation.

Reincarnation necromancy. That's a creepy string of words.

But I was brought back to life by necromancy in the first place. I guess you could call it reincarnation in a sense, though I'm not alive.

If this underground passage itself is a magic circle, it's pretty big. The Lord's mansion was large, but still not comparable.

Magic is said to increase in power in proportion to the scale of its preparation.

.................. So what do we destroy?　What do you want me to do? Destroy the magic circle?　I'm not sure what to do.

I don't know.　What's the quickest way to get home?

No way!　This camp is already filled with the power of the dead!　I'm not sure what to do.

”............ Senri, don't destroy it. This magic circle is already filled with the power of the dead, don't destroy it!　You may be thinking of destroying it for now, but you absolutely cannot!　Be patient!

”............

Now, I've given Senri a good warning.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before. It was a lot of effort.

But ...... you're right. I've come up with a quick solution.

First, get on the ground. From a distance, Senri's Annihilation blows up the castle's basement.
