314 - - 312. Wands and Physics

The title "He Who Sees Hidden Forms", as the name implies, allows one to clearly see things that are hidden by mimicry or other means. However, it is not effective unless I can see them properly, so I may not need it if I am of the school that searches for signs with the mind's eye and cuts them even if I can't see them.

, on the other hand, cuts off the appearance and presence of the person equipped with the cloak. It is only for when you are going to infiltrate somewhere carefully, because if you move, you are out. It's a black, hooded cloak, and it makes me look like a suspicious person!　I don't know, it looks like that.

Black and Kuzunoha will return at the same time that White returns. The black one just goes into the bosom of the white one.

My summons and pets are stronger than I thought. I was worried about Liddell because he is a producer, but it seems to have been unnecessary. <.

The labyrinth has changed from a damp and dense atmosphere to a forest just before the sunset. The forest smelled of earth, but not so much that it was freezing, and had a nice atmosphere with thick trees. However, the silhouettes of the large trees are dark and hide the enemies, rustling in the air and subtly hindering the [presence detection]. The trees are vague and hard to spot until you get close to them, like when you were at a lower level.

He also uses both [Kokoro no kan] and [Ito], but since [Kokoro no kan] is affected by [Kiyoei], it is also more uncertain than usual.

If I turn my eyes toward the direction of a sign, not only can I see it, but also the sign becomes clearer, thanks to the effect of 【Seeing Hidden Forms】. Even so, the "seeing" process delays our response.

I remember when we first entered the labyrinth with Galahad and the others, we talked about sound and vibration. I didn't take any of the skills to detect the whereabouts of enemies, such as [listening to sound], [vibration perception], and [psychic perception], even though they were listed in the list of skills to acquire. I should take at least one of them. It will also strengthen [Psychokinesis].

It seems that I have completely entered the bird route, and almost all of them are bird-like demons, from birds with four pairs of wings to flightless birds. Drops varied from materials for weapons to foodstuffs, and for feathers, I'll ask Kikuhime to make me a futon again.

Chicken wings simmered in sweet and spicy sauce, grilled to a crisp and salted with green onion. For the grilled skin, let's use only the neck and make two kinds: one is crispy on the outside with sauce and the other is crispy on the inside, stretched out and grilled with salt. What about oyakodon (parent and child bowl)? The meat is outmatched by the egg, so it would be unbalanced.

I'm going to shoot magic at the flying enemies, I'm going to improve my skills and Krulkan's level. I want to make him strong enough not to be bottled up by Liddel.

Right after I deal with a group of gray birds, a bird with a face on its chest fires a skill at me. I swat it away as if I have a sword in my hand.

"Sorry!"

While apologizing to Krulkan, I drop his feathers with a fast [Wind Magic] <> and finish him off with a [Ice Magic] <>.

Kulrukan seems to be quite strong, though I had thought he was weak due to his image of being bitten by Bahamut and being limp.

Thanks to the fact that it is chantless, magic is activated in an instant, but the speed at which it advances from activation to the target is determined for each magic, so it is difficult to use it properly, and if it is not used properly, the target can avoid it. Usually, a shield (or a mane) draws the enemy and holds him in place, so it can't be helped.

If you are a solo player, it is better to stop enemy's movement with fast magic until it lands, and then hit with high power magic. I am tempted to use [Lightning] which has both speed and power, but I have failed with White Hydra, and I want to raise other spells as well.

Clough showed me a druid's 60 <>, a spell to summon the one-armed god. Thule or Thule was the main god before Odin in Norse mythology, but Fenrir bit off one of his arms and he has been replaced by a new generation. Still, he is identified with Mars, the god of war, and is the strong god from whom the word Tuesday is derived. Though it seems that he was originally a sky god, not a war god.

Clough and I were excited to think that if we mastered druidic magic, we might be able to conjure up a that was not a one-armed druid. And I'm looking forward to other high level magic, especially complex magic such as ice, thunder, and time, and I'm seriously improving my skills. It's a great way to enhance my fighting skills, of course, but it's also a great way to see magic I haven't seen yet.

"Okay, it's the boss of the 40th layer of the bird route.

In front of the big stone door leading to the boss, Krulkan looks at me with a little bit of his wand back in his hand.

--It's getting a little cute. No, don't be fooled, this is a snake that can take human form and has a bit of a calculation about it.

I brace myself and put my hand on the door. The boss of the 40th level is at the same level as Fer Fasi.

Six birds appear from all directions with a high-pitched metallic "squeak" sound. The stage is a lakeside forest. The birds, the same color as the blue of the lake, have metal wings, and their appearance and movements resemble those of fighter planes in an airplane show.

The bird invokes Kuroyoh to fortify its defense and casts [Time Magic] < for evasion. With a bad feeling about the feathers reflecting the surrounding greenery like a polished mirror, I unleash a level 10 of my [Lightning Magic].

My bad premonition is proved true, and the lightning that hits the bird is bounced off its feathers and disappears into the air.

It is lucky that the lightning does not reflect off the bird. I dodge the blue bird's attack, thinking that the advantage of the bird's route is the physical distance and the bow, which can do the most damage. The wings are made of thin blade-like feathers, which are not good to hit by any stretch of the imagination.

The six birds work in perfect coordination to block the escape route. It was difficult to recognize the enemy on the way, but it is the same here, too, as the birds blend in with the green of the forest and the blue of the lake. I thought they were just a front because there were so many of them, but they were a formidable and troublesome foe.

We are slow to find them and they are fast. It seems that not only lightning but also a wide range of magic is ineffective, and in fact, they even use the magic effects to blind us and jump into our path. I get the impression that it is not so much magic resistance, but rather its speed that makes it break through and overtake the enemy.

It is only a single magic that works. Well, when push comes to shove, I'll fight with a sword.

Most of the high-level magic that we can learn now is ranged, so we are limited in what we can use. Lower level magic is naturally less powerful, but it's better than no magic at all.

Result.

I give up and stay where I am. I close my eyes and concentrate on my mind's eye. When he recognizes a bird flying toward him, he doesn't even look at it, and he thrusts his <>, which is off the range magic.

It strikes at almost zero distance, correctly burying its tip in the center of its prey. At first the angle is off, and the tip flies off in the same direction as the bird, but I've gotten used to it.

When the bird makes a metallic sound and loses its position, I swing down a thunderbolt-like but very physical hammer called <> of level 40 [Druidic Magic]. It is hard to tell if the bird's metallic sound is a squeal or the sound of its metal body creaking as it is.

I'm a wizard, but I'm in a very physical close proximity position. Come to think of it, I am a melee fighter who can also use magic. Is this the right way to fight?　No, I don't use a sword. I don't have a choice not to use a staff since I'm trying to level up Krulkan. Kulkarukan, can't you also use a blow weapon?　

I got the title "The Star of the End" for my first solo victory.

I got the as a reward for my first solo defeat.

has been defeated solo on the 40th basement floor of the labyrinthine Southen Route.

We have obtained 5 arrow feathers of the Blue Bird of Stympharides.

I got 5 blue bird feathers from Stemperides.

I got the beak of the blue bird of Stymphallides.

I got the magic stone of the blue bird of Stymphallides.

I got the white opal x10.

I got the ring of magic +4.

I got the .

Stemperides is something that Hercules defeated. I think it's more famous as the Hydra or the Golden Apple. .......

The title [Star of the End] causes stars to fall and inflict heavy damage when you lose the battle, double the damage if you have a [meteor] type skill. Double the damage if you have a [meteor] type skill. ....... I think it was pretty bad. Final Attack Meteor?　I wonder if they hooked it up with Hercules being in the constellation after his death?　

But I have a feeling that I won't be able to get the item as a reward for clearing the game, since it is based on the assumption that the player can't fight. <, the party can revive him... but I guess they can't get the item after defeating him. It's not very useful, and unlike skills, titles activate automatically.

Well, magic and Krulkan's level is up, and the sword skill gauge is maxed out, so we're almost ready for the battle against the empire. The only thing left to do is to improve the <.

<. If I eat it... I recover (become full), and I can eat E! I've been taking care of it for a long time because of the slow decrease of E!

I'm going to take a break and eat something delicious.

I move from the boss's room to the transition room and resting area where no demons come, and take out a sweetfish I got at Fuso.

Normally, ayu fish is blackish, but this one is fat and has yellowish spots.　I heard that small ayu also eat insects, but ayu that eats only algae can eat cotton threads with peace of mind. I hear that if you grill ayu while it's still alive, its bones become soft, but you can't store the creature, so you have to eat it on the spot.

Grill it with the head down so that excess water can drain out. If you don't cut into the fish, I think it is better to grill the whole fish at an angle with the mouth down so that the excess water can drain out, and to turn the skewer several times so that the fat can be absorbed into the meat.

The plan for the rest of the day is to wait for word from Kal and the others, meet up with the knights, have a meeting, and then go in for battle. I was supposed to play the role of suppressing either Tamamo or Zuwa, but since it was almost certain that Zuwa was the prince, it seemed that Tamamo's whereabouts could not be determined, and although other preparations had been made, we were at a standstill.

Now that Tamamo's location is almost certain, they are working out the details. They have identified Peter, Roy and the others, and the rabbit girls.

It looks like it's going to be a raid war, but I'm currently dawdling on the outside of the mosquito net. Peter, too, is having trouble dealing with the powers that be, so he's going to stay in the shadows.

A savory smell wafts through the air, and the fat drips from the sweetfish. Ayu fish grilled with salt is ready.
