Chapter 354.2: Sytry's Strategy 7
I regain my nerves, close my eyes, sharpen my mind, and look up at the World Tree, praying for the success of the strategy. Maybe feeling the same as me, Miles quietly looks at the World Tree, its Hometown which had now been swallowed up by the Temple of Origin and turned into something abominable.
It is almost time (Serene)
For now, the forest is peaceful. The earth soldiers are controlled by Miles Magic. So to speak, they are Miles arms, eyes, and ears. If any Monsters or Phantoms approach, we will know it right away.
If anything happened, it would have given me a sign, so I guess the other teams havent been attacked yet.
Please, just like right now, I hope nothing will happen.
I make up my mind and put the bright red jewel I received from Sytry into the device.
It made a *kachiri* small click.
The feedback on my fingers is surprisingly light. The Magic power flowing from the Magic Stone is transmitted to the spiral glass tube, causing the device to shake without a sound.
Hh Th-This is (Serene)
My heart beats strongly. The voice that comes out of me is unintentionally shaky.
Even after the device is activated, the landscape does not change at all. There are no changes such as the earth shaking, making noise, or emitting light. It is probably difficult for people who dont have eyes like mine to understand how it works.
As she refers to it, it truly is a Mana Materials stirring device.
It is certainly an action that could be called Stirring.
The device is quietly stirring the Mana Materials sucked from the earths vein to its spiral glass tube.
Unlike underground, where the Mana Materials continue to flow in one direction like water in a river, the Mana Materials emitted from the top of the device is released vigorously into the surrounding area. It is like a spring gushing out. The released Mana Materials spread in all directions as if they were ripples, but if you look closely, you can see that the ripples are deformed into elongated strips in the direction that the end of the glass tube is facing.
Sytrys plan is to create a new flow of Mana Materials by connecting the torrents of Mana Materials that are stirred and released by each device. This is going to be difficult. I am fine as I can see Mana Materials, but someone who cant see Mana Materials has no way to tell if the device is working properly or not.
After all, the usage this time is probably different from its original intended use.
Precise calculations are essential in order to use this devices mechanism to distort the flow of the earths veins and weaken the Treasure Shrine. After checking again, I found out that this device is specialized in the function of holding the dispersed Mana Materials in one place. If that is the case, the main function of the device should be to strengthen a Treasure ShrineBut it is certainly not impossible to weaken one.
I dont know how the device itself works, but whoever invented it must be either a genius or insane. Maybe it is both. The people of Yggdra already have the technology to use the power of the existing earths veins, but we have never thought of doing anything with the earths veins themselves.
Most of the Mana Materials flowing in the earths veins towards the World Tree has been pumped out by the power of the device and has indeed decreased. If the other teams are also able to activate their devices correctly and block the Mana Materials flowing in from the South, the Mana Materials flowing into the Temple of Origin should be reduced by half.
The abnormality should have already been reported to the Treasure Shrine. The Phantoms will definitely start looking for the cause, and will sense our unusual activityWhile checking the device that keeps moving, I search for the Phantoms presence.
At that moment, Miles, who is floating nearby, transmits the information with a bell-like sound.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
7 beast-like creaturesThe advanced squad, is it (Serene)
The breakdown included five wolf-type creatures and two lizard-type creatures that Eliza and her friends had dealt with before. There are no sounds of footsteps, but Miles eyes cannot be fooled. The wind, the earth, and the trees are all Miles itself. Now, Miles and I are connected by an invisible force. My expanded five senses alert me of the Phantoms approach.
There is no sound, no presence, and they are quite fast. If this had been a surprise attack, I might have been killed by a single blow before I even realized it. No matter how powerful a Magi is, there is nothing they can do if they are attacked before they can use their Magic.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
There wasnt any issue. However, there is no joy in victory either. As soon as they can resist Miless power even for a moment, they are formidable foes. The other members have more combat experience than me, but they wont be able to hold out for long if that many of them come. There is no telling when a third group will arrive.
And for the device.
I became speechless for a moment after checking the condition of the earths veins.
The Mana Materials that were diverging Has returned to its original state? (Serene)
The device continues to function normally. However, the torrent of Mana Materials that have been greatly disturbed by the device and spread out horizontally, return to the earths veins source a little further away. You can clearly see it when you look from a birds view. It is as if the branching streams of water are merging downstreamIf it is like this, the amount of power flowing into the Treasure Shrine remains the same.
Did the Phantoms do something? No That is not it.
I hurriedly raise the scaffolding even higher and look at the spot where the neighboring team has activated the device. They have the same results as me.
It is successful up to the point where the device is activated and the Mana Materials is absorbed and spread out. However, it has not led to the creation of a new stream of Mana Materials.
This is because the diffusion, the performance of the equipment, is not enough.
In order for the Mana Materials to ignore the existing earths veins stream and create a new one, the Mana Materials disturbed by all the devices must be connected with each other.
Mana Materials tend to gather in places where their power is more powerful. This is the reason why living things are able to absorb Mana Materials, the reason why the Mana Materials that have just been disturbed are returning to their original earths veins, and the reason why a synchronous activation of the devices is necessary for Sytrys strategy.
A miscalculation Was the device not big enough? No, the plan originally had a lot of unknowns. (Serene)
The strategy is a failure. No matter how much I protect it, there is no point.
I thought I understood that there was a possibility of failure. But it is the worst. If I dont inform everyone soon, everyone will continue to fight against powerful enemies for no reason.
Miles is telling me about the presence of a group of Phantoms approaching from afar. But there is no time to deal with them.
I restore the elevated ground below me. I take a deep breath and calm myself down.
The guideline is not wrong. I am sure it will work if we install a more powerful device.
Then, suddenly, there is a *pishiri* sharp sound.
Even though my head is about to explode, I manage to turn my gaze towards the sound. The Mana Materials Stirring Device is still operating. And in the glass part, there is a small crack.
The crack quickly expands in front of my eyes, and then.
!? Why!? (Serene)
The Mana Materials Stirring Device shatters into pieces and the Magic Stone that has been inserted as a power source rolls around.
It is the worst. Turn out there is something worse than what I thought was the worst situation. I havent heard anything about the possibility of the device breaking. I do not know what to do.
I freeze due to a series of situations that exceed my thinking capacity. Then, a red flare is launched. It is the signal to retrieve the device and withdraw. I scold my shaking body and manage to start retreating.
Thanks for reading! Not bad Serene! Who would have thought that you were this strong But did the strategy just fail!? )
