Chapter 349.1: Sytry's Strategy 2

Even for Lucia, who defeated Finis and has enormous Magic, manufacturing the device seems to be hard work.

In order to activate the Magic Circle, it is necessary to pour five Magics into it, and activating them at the same time requires concentration. If you activate the Magic Circle many times, the huge amount of Magic you have will quickly decrease, and due to fatigue, the manipulation of your Magic will become disrupted.

It would have been nice if the Members of Starlight (Hoshi no Serai) and I could have helped, but each Magi has their specialties. The Magic Circle for the device manufacturing requires five types of Magic to be poured into, but among them, Fire Magic must be poured in quite powerfully.

It would be one thing if they only had to activate their Magic at the same time, but Spirit People are not good at Fire Magic due to their race. I cannot use Fire Magic, and among the members of Starlight (Hoshi no Serai), only Kruz Argen can use it.

However, that doesn't mean we don't have work. Instead, we work on processing the gemstones into Magic Stones that will power the device. Without power, the devices cannot operate. This is also a task that requires delicate Magic manipulation, although not as demanding as manufacturing the devices.

The sun has completely set by the time we finish the treatments on the gemstone and Lucia uses up all the glass that Sytry and the others had taken out.

Everyone, including me, is exhausted from the nerve-wracking work. The only person who is in perfect condition is probably Sytry, who is in charge of giving instructions.

However, our expressions are at no point gloomy. It is because there is hope. That single, seemingly coincidental, victory of rescuing Ruin inspired us.

Just at that moment, the members who have been examining the location to install the device also return.

After recapturing Ruin using the Dog's Chain, the trio of Thief, Liz, Eliza, and Tino once again went outside Yggdra to investigate, while Adler and the rest monitored the situation with the power of the mirror of reality and were marking the location on a map.

Although it isn't as threatening as facing Finis, it is a dangerous mission with the possibility of other Phantoms attacking, but Liz and the three of them have no noticeable injuries. However, Liz, who is in the lead, has a grim expression on her face. Lucia, who is struggling to breathe as she puts all her energy into manufacturing the device, raises her eyebrows and calls out.

Welcome back. Did something happen? (Lucia)

No There isn't any Phantom attacking us today, and I didn't have any particular trouble But it feels like I'm being watched all the time. It didn't feel good. (Liz)

I could feel eyes on me. Right after I entered the forest, and all the times after that (Tino)

Says Tino while her shoulders are shaking.

Well, we wont know until we try fighting them, right? Adleeer, you guys could be of some use! (Liz)

Why do we have toIs what I'd like to say, but I get it. We need to show Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) how useful we can be. (Adler)

Says Adler with a cruel smile.

While thinking of Cry, I try to imagine the upcoming battle. But I couldn't predict it at all.

I know nothing. What are the Phantoms thinking, how many there are, and how powerful they are. AndWhat can Yggdra do with their current strength?

There is also luck that plays during battles. Moreover, even for Spirit People who boast higher abilities than humans, it is impossible to be able to read the outcome of the battle and to also control the flow of battle.

Cry Andrich still shows no signs of showing up.

Where and what on earth is he doing? Or Is everything still as he expected?

Eliza Onee-sama WellI'm going to ask you a silly question, but do your feet want to run away? (Tino)

All the time, I want to run away all the time. This is a losing battle. It is normal if you think about it normally, though. That's how big the difference in strength is between us and our opponent. (Eliza)

!? I-I see After all, it's that kind of battle again (Tino)

But now that we have come this far, we can't run away anymore. We've to bet on Sytry's device and protect it with everyone who can fight. (Eliza)

Tino mutters dejectedly, while Eliza looks more serious than ever. I have a faint feeling that it is a battle like this, but even for an experienced Thief, it didn't seem to be a battle with a lot of chances to win.

However, as Eliza said, we have no choice but to move forward either way. This is my last chance to redeem myself for not being able to stop the World Tree from going out of control.

Thanks for reading! Thanks Oliver for the Ko-fi! Poor Luke still petrified, I wonder if he is still enshrined in a corner of Cry's room.
