Chapter 106 Strongest Sage, Determined to Erase His Dark History

" . . . . Where is that Gae Bolg now?"

"Um . . . It's said that it suddenly disappeared from the treasury 50 years ago, and was discovered to be in the possession of a demon . "

"In other words, a demon like Elhart infiltrated and stole it huh . "

"Most likely . . . . "

Alright . I'll go and defeat that demon .

I'm gonna destroy it for sure the next time I find it .

That is something that cannot be allowed to exist in this world .

" . . . Okay, let's make Iris's spear next . "

I have to end an era where that kind of thing is treated as the strongest spear as quickly as possible .

For that to happen, creating a spear stronger than that is ideal .

Or rather, as long as you do the augmenting properly, it's difficult to make a spear weaker than that .

"I-I understand!"

◇

Several hours later .

We all have gathered to test the performance of our completed weapons, however . . . .

"Then, here I go!"

Ruli swings her sword at the target .

It's a 10cm thick steel rod .

Contrasting that, the sword Ruli has in hand is just 5mm thick .

Ruli seems to be worried about it as she's swinging the sword timidly .

And then--the steel rod got soundlessly cut .

"W-we've made a fearsome thing . . . . "

Ruli sounded dumbfounded when she saw the blade that was completely free of nicks .

It wouldn't have been possible with normal augment considering that thinness, so I made exclusive spell arts for it .

"You cut that with this sword . . . ? Is this multi-augmented too?"

"Yeah . That sword has eight kinds of magic augmented on it . It's made of three boards with four magic on each board though . "

"Eight kinds!? . . . For reference, what kind of magic?"

"It goes from 【Augment Magic for Ruli's Sword Number 1】 to 【Augment Magic for Ruli's Sword Number 8】 . This sword is unique, so I've made new augments exclusively for it . "

I showed Alma one of the spell arts I made, the magic circle number 8 .

Because this was the first time I augmented a sword this thin .

General spell arts wouldn't work well, so I made them myself .

But augmenting them proved to be difficult, as even Ruli who usually succeeded in one try had to redo three times before it took form .

"You made augment magic!? . . . How do I say this . . . . It's really Mathi-kun . . . . "

"Really Mathi-kun isn't it . "

Ruli agreed to Alma's incomprehensible adjective(?) .

Why did my name become an adjective anyway .

" . . . . Hold on . If Ruli's weapon is that powerful, that means my weapon is similar to it . . . ?"

Alma said that and looked at the bow she just got .

However, unfortunately she's mistaken .

Ruli's sword stresses importance on lightness and portability, and is ultimately a sub-weapon for self-defense .

Contrary to that, Alma's bow is operated by both her and Ruli and the main long-distance firepower of our party .

Alma's is overwhelmingly higher in term of attack power .

"Similar . . . it is not . Well, you'll know if you try shooting with it . . . . Ah, be careful about the arrow line when you use it . Cause the flying distance is different from your usual arrows . "

I said that as I gave an iron arrow exclusively made for Alma .

The arrow differs from common arrows in this world, it's made from iron .

The feathers are quite small to decrease air resistance .

"Again, that's one amazing looking arrow . . . . Then let me have a shoot . Where's my target?"

"This . "

I took out another steel rod .

However, unlike the one for Ruli, this rod is about 40cm thick .

"Then, here I go!"

Alma pulls the arrow .

"Ooh, it's very light! Ei!"

The arrow that was shot along with that voice--pierced through the rod .

" . . . . Huh? Where'd the arrow go?"

"Over here . "

I pull out the arrow that has been half-buried inside dungeon wall .

. . . The arrow that hit dungeon wall with enough force to break it already lost its shape though .

"I . . . It's soo weird!? Can I really have this bow . . . ?"

"Of course . That's the point of its creation . "

By the way, Ruli only made the rough parts for this bow, I was the one who did the a.s.sembly and finishing .

Since the mechanism had to be quite complex for it to be this powerful .

If it's a sword, Ruli can do everything but the flattening, but it'll probably take some time before she can do a bow .

"Alright, then Iris is the last one . "

"Yes! Which should be my target!?"

"I haven't prepared a target for Iris . . . . Rather, it's impossible . Just try it on that wall over there . "

I pointed at the thickest wall nearby .

"I understand! Here I--"

"Hold it right there . "

I stopped Iris who took up the spear .

And then I tell Ruli and Alma .

"You two, back away a bit . To around there . "

I pointed 30 meter back .

"Y-yes!"

"Got it!"

Ruli and Alma ran to the place in a hurry .

Iris pierced the wall with her spear after confirming that .

The wall was blown away with a roaring sound .

The shockwave broke down a part of the ceiling, several monsters on the other side of the wall received the splinters and died .

" . . . . Ooh! I feel like I can swing around without worry with this spear!"

Yup . Looking good .

Of course, it's incomparable to Gae Bolg thingy .

I probably can expect her to be a force to some extent in a fight against stronger demons and dragons with this .

--And then, several weeks after the weapon making .

Royal Capital Great Barrier Creation is finally coming to a close .
