Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (94)
Francis placed his hand on the aquamarine crystal ball.
“First, let me make a map around here. “It’s easier to go once you know the general terrain.”
Leonard expressed a question that came to mind.
“hmm? “Wouldn’t it be possible to use exploration magic inside a 〈Crack〉?”
“Direct search magic is like that. However, the magic formula mounted on Aquamarine emits sound waves and uses the echo to identify surrounding terrain. Even if the magic itself is neutralized, the phenomenon itself derived from magic is not neutralized.”
“It’s echolocation, so it’s quite creative.”
It was a technique often used by masters of pitch to understand their surroundings through sound and vibration. For them, sight and smell were not very important senses.
This was because it was possible to ‘see’ with the whole body.
“Just for reference, this is not a method that can be used by individual wizards? It may be a few meters, but it is impossible to collect all the information in hundreds of meters and turn it into a map. “We need special artifacts and proper exploration equipment like this ship and Aquamarine.”
What Esther said was right.
Seven Syllables, an expert in the sound field who had reached the level of harmony, and who had great notoriety as a part of the four evils, was killed by a secret attack by an archer who was only at the peak level.
If I had sensed the arrow fired from over 200 yards away, there was no way I would have gone in vain. The range that can be accurately identified with echolocation is at most a few fields, and even for a master of sound holes, if it goes beyond dozens of fields, the shape will become blurry.
“[Acoustic detection device], activated.”
According to the command, ultrasonic waves that cannot be detected by human hearing spread very secretly outside the Aquamarine’s hull and returned within a few seconds.
Aquamarine quickly gathered the enormous amount of information and drew the geographical features of the area on the surface of her crystal ball.
“A city, huh?”
“It looks like a city to me. “The architectural style is unfamiliar, though.”
Members who looked at the map made of sound waves exchanged opinions.
Surprisingly, there was a large and magnificent city at the bottom of the deep sea, where the otherworldly races resided, in
If it had been on land instead of under the sea, it would have been believable even if it had been described as a foreign metropolis.
“… That’s bad. No, should I say it’s a blessing among misfortunes?”
Jack Russell, the chief elder of the Magic Tower, shared what he learned from the scene through his insight.
“I knew that evil octopuses were highly intelligent, but I had no idea that they were a species with such an advanced level of civilization. In this case, it seems that the lower frequency of exploration was actually beneficial.”
“Why?”
“That deep city is not a garrison. “It’s closer to a residential area.”
Francis understood what he meant and his eyes widened.
“You are an immigrant? “You invested everything in the acceleration of Ma Kyung-hwa, and your internal defense forces are lacking?”
“As a daughter of Njord, I know you well. If you are friendly to humans and your nature is good, there is no room for acceptance… “As far as I know, evil octopuses are foreign fanatics who are vicious and cruel to other races.”
“Then I guess we can take this opportunity to send him back to his hometown.”
It was already an operation aimed at ‘sealing things together’, but there was also a justification for doing so. If left as is, the precursor phenomenon of demonic hardening will appear within a few months, within 1-2 years at the most.
From then on, the difficulty of conquering even a 〈Crack〉 designed for residential purposes increases several times.
In a situation where
Francis, with determination of her own, raised her voice.
“From now on, operation name ‘Rising Sun’ begins!”
All adventurers are heavily armed and wait for her words.
Francis shouted as if responding to the atmosphere.
“All in one! To each person’s location! “We will hold them all until Leonard and Russell complete their mission!”
* * *
While all the members of Aquamarine were preparing for battle, only Leonard and Jack Russell were standing on the deck, looking into the darkness, unable to see even 10 meters out.
Although it is a deep sea where sunlight cannot reach, this unnatural darkness blocks even the sense of energy.
Russell, the archmage who had a similar understanding, muttered.
“It’s an alien law. Can’t my grip extend beyond 30 meters? “If you don’t have a way to secure your view, it will be difficult to distinguish between the front, left, and right.”
“Can’t [night vision] work?”
“Well, it’s not the darkness that arises from the absence of light, but the darkness itself is closer to a magical phenomenon. “There will be no choice but to create light and drive it away, or disperse it like when dealing with water fog.”
Leonard also nodded his head in agreement.
Even though I tried using the eye method, one of the applied techniques of Qigong, it was impossible to penetrate that darkness. It was truly unusual for him to have no night vision or clairvoyance at all.
Nevertheless, the two people were not worried at all.
This is because Jack Russell was planning to use one of the methods mentioned above.
“How much can you maintain?”
“Two hours.”
Russell answered his question immediately.
“The power of Aquamarine can be used to provide maintenance magic, so ultimately my role is all about activating the magic formula. Considering the battle on board, we should be able to last at least two hours.”
“What if it takes more than two hours to subdue the ‘Rift Guardian’ and destroy the medium?”
“I guess I’ll have to return to the ship through space travel and make plans for later. No matter how fast the horse hardening speed is, it will take several more months, so all you have to do is ask Bermuda to recruit an A grade and push it out. “You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.”
“It would be best to resolve it at this point if possible,” he added, pushing up the frames of his glasses, which had already fallen down a bit.
The defensive posture of the rift that could be called ‘Demon Octopus’ Abyss’, or more accurately called ‘Deep City’, was now close to defenseless. It is almost impossible to find the timing to strike more fatally than in this situation.
Perhaps because the intruders had not visited for a long time, they were completely caught off guard.
{Leonard, Russell. Can you hear my voice?}
At that time, Francis’ shipboard broadcast found the two people.
“I’m listening.”
“I can hear it.”
Francis, who heard their answers, gave instructions.
{Operation ‘Rising Sun’ begins now. Russell, please begin unfolding the magic ceremony as soon as preparations are complete.}
“I understand.”
And, Francis began, and added a few words.
{Leonard. I know your skills are better than I expected, but please don’t push yourself too hard. The success or failure of this operation is a much more trivial matter than yours, right?}
“I’ll keep that in mind.”

{I will hold out until the two of you achieve your operational goals or return to the ship. Well then, good luck!}
At the end of those words, her voice broke off.
For some reason, Russell looked back at him and was grinning.
“It’s very popular. “With that face and that skill, is it natural?”
“Russell, Director Francis is not a person who is swayed by such personal emotions.”
“I know her genius well. But it is also true that she is a girl in her prime. “It can be said that it is the privilege of young people to be easily swayed by her fiery spirit.”
Leonard, who was about to retort, remembered his experience of being swayed by his younger body and swallowed his words.
“… Well, maybe so.”
“Hmm?”
Russell was intrigued by the more honest answer than he expected, but it was time to get down to business.
Coo coo coo coo… !
Seven circles rotate within the archmage’s body, and the grip extending around them interlocks with the world.
Nothing changed inside the
The scope of the grip has only been slightly reduced, but as the Archmage’s grip tightens the world, even the darkness within the range is scattered. Shadows that finally became aware of the enemy’s presence were visible outside the visibility range, which had increased by tens of meters in an instant.
but.
“——Dawn, come.”
It was too late to stop the 7th rank archmage.
“The chariot that ends the night, the light that has circulated through the sea of stars since the beginning. I borrow that power. I will cast your face at the bottom of the sea, where light cannot find. “I will defeat the darkness of this dimension and bring about clear light.”
Although the inside of the 〈Crack〉 is a space close to another dimension, the world laws that can be exercised inside it are not only from another world.
An archmage, a being close to the representative of the world’s laws, could have driven out the invaders’ laws as the laws of this world.
And the most fatal law of “Deep City” was the phenomenon that they had to avoid by crawling to the bottom of the deep sea.
“Rise, [Helios]!”
The moment the Jack Russell’s starting words rang out, a brilliant sphere of light appeared in the sky above Aquamarine.
If the “Three-Legged Crow” that Leonard used against the fifth shadow was simply a bomb that compressed enormous power, the sun created by [Helios] was a circulatory system of power that lasted for several hours.
The deep city, which had been shrouded in cold darkness, was suddenly revealed to the sunlight, and tearing screams began to echo throughout the evil octopus’ habitat.
—————————!!
It was a sound tinged with pain and fear, as if a well-heated iron had been struck on the thigh, or even more than that.
Beyond their expectations, the light and heat of [Helios] seemed to be like a natural enemy to the evil octopus race.
Russell, who was looking at the deep city, said with a grin.
“As expected. “They are coming.”
“You’re not running away.”
“A strong intruder might hide in a cave, but if you set your house on fire, everyone will jump out and try to put it out. “No matter who sees it, the epicenter of this light will look like aquamarine.”
Aquamarine was undoubtedly a powerful ship, but it was not something that could directly attack the Rift Guardian or the medium.
As long as there is no room for the ‘crack’ to be closed, the evil octopuses have no reason to avoid an all-out war. Rather than allow the residential areas that had been carefully built to be devastated, it was necessary to repel Aquamarine out there, even at the cost of consuming a little of the population.
That was exactly what Jack Russell and Leonard were aiming for.
“[Floating board].”
As soon as I finished speaking, a disk-shaped platform similar to the one I saw at the Magic Tower was created.
It was a flying disc.
It can be used from level 4 onwards, but the difficulty in controlling it is high and its speed is lacking. It had to be at least level 5, but it could fly a little more slowly than a bird.
But what if the 7th rank archmage directly controls it?
“Come on, get on board. “It also shows the direction of the medium.”
“All right.”
As Leonard told me the direction his control was pointing, he expressed a question that had suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Russell, are you able to control and fly this flying disc and attack and defend at the same time?”
“If it’s defensive magic, it can be replaced with a few artifacts.”
“What about attack magic?”
“I haven’t had any dogfights lately, so I didn’t bring it.”
The Jack Russell looked back at him, answering with a calm expression.
“I will block most attacks, but any enemies that need to be intercepted are up to you. “Can you do it?”
“It’s sudden.”
As Leonard responded, he took out as many as four more swords from his subspace pouch. This was because he judged that it was a situation that he could not fully respond to with one sack.
He, armed with five swords and with a sword sheath hanging from his back and waist, answered casually.
“Well, it’s not that difficult.”
“Good. Shall we fly?”
The [floating board] with two people on board soared above the deck.
The flying disc, which rose to an altitude of 100 meters in an instant, switched to horizontal movement without losing its acceleration.
Speed close to 200 knots!
The flying disc, which easily exceeded Aquamarine’s maximum speed, was soon launched in a northwest direction.
