90 Episode 89 Water Droplets and Fire




In fact, when I destroyed that demon, I took out the magic stone with fire magic that left no bones. Is there a connection?

The other possibility is that the magic element already had the fire attribute when it was gathered, but there was no such description in the outbreak.

It's hard to say, because as far as I know, there is no precedent for the use of fire magic of such power. But considering that dragon's breath turns earth into mithril, it's not impossible.

In the event that you've got a lot more than one of these, you're going to need to have a lot more than one.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out why later, but can you use magic stones with attributes?

I've never seen anything as strong as this, but basically you can use it. If you make a magic tool that is in line with the attribute it is imbued with, you can increase its output and extend its lifespan. ......

I'm not sure if there's much of a difference,......, but it's subtle.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going to happen when you get to this point.

...... That's what I was thinking.

You can't experiment in the city.

We can't experiment in the city. It would be a disaster if the building was burned down by the ignition device.

No, not really, sir.

Really?

Fire magic generally has an image of creating havoc on a large scale.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

In this case, it is water magic. In this case, it's water magic.

Oh, so magic with the opposite attribute is less powerful?
I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what you need to do.

I said that and took out a relatively small magic stone and handed it to Catherine.
Catherine looked at the stone for a moment and then nodded.

I'm going to try 'running water', which has no failures and the results are easy to understand.

Then I'll try 'running water', which is easy to see the result without failure." Catherine said, and turned the magic stone into a magic tool.
The fact that it was easy seemed to be true, and Catherine finished turning it into a magical artifact in a few tens of seconds, without concentrating as she did when she was making the artifact.
She placed the pots and pans she had on her desk and was ready to experiment.

If it's a magic stone of this size, it should fill up the pot in about 20 seconds. ...... I'll start it up anyway.

Catherine said, and lifted the magic stone on the pot.
However, no water came out at all.
Oh, so she's waiting for me to tell her what to do.

When you're ready, you can start it up.

No, it's already up and running. ......

I'm already up and running.
You can't even measure the effect of attributes from the amount of water that is produced.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

...... No way.

I'm sure you've heard of it.
Catherine and I stared at the magic stone for about ten seconds.
The second drop fell into the pot.

"Is this the effect of the attribute?

I'm not sure what else to make of it, but ...... it seems to be far more potent than it looks. If you make an explosive magic tool, you might be able to destroy half the castle with one.

That's scary.

If you go that far, you'll have a problem finding a use for it.

At any rate, explosions are out of the question.
For now, explosions are out of the question. They're not directional and their attack range is too wide, so they can only be used for suicide attacks on demon territory.
If you try to use it to defend a town, it will blow up the town you are defending.

If it's a flamethrower, it could be used as a battle magic tool.

Well, it's true that it could be used if it's directional.
The problem is that it's a little too big, but the fact that it's so powerful should be welcomed.
If you can make good use of that much power, it will be much easier to repel large-scale attacks by demons.

But who's going to buy such a thing?

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you out.

A large scale merchant ...... is like a purveyor.
There were a lot of magic tools used in Decibatore, so it could be a large-scale merchant that deals in such weapons.
It would be difficult to have a sales channel unless it is a large and trustworthy business association like the one gathered during the Dragon War.
The Kaede Chamber of Commerce is too young, so it would be a problem before the scale.
However, is there any chance that we can sell our products to such a large merchant association?

Let's just go to the sea and see how powerful it is. Can you make a 'flamethrower' or something?

Yes, you can. It will take longer than "running water", so please wait a bit. ......


This is how the experiment of "flame-throwing" using fire magic stones came to be conducted.
I borrowed a little boat for transporting Zunana grass (I carried the Zunana grass for that), loaded up Catherine and other magic tool related technicians who had somehow increased in number, and headed out into the deserted waters.
Since this was only an experiment within the trading community, as soon as the safety was confirmed, I picked up the magic tools and started the experiment.
When I activated the magic tool, flames came out from a distance from the magic stone.
The flames were about 20 meters long, with a maximum thickness of 5 meters.
The directionality of the flames seemed to be moderate, and while they were not at a level where an average person could hold them with their bare hands, they could be handled if a long handle was attached.
If you don't think about the cost, it's a pretty good piece of equipment.

There was a cheer from the ship.
Seeing that the flames were stable, the ship slowly began to circle the flames.
The purpose of this was to collect detailed data on the performance of the special equipment, as it was necessary to sell it. Ten minutes passed, and when the ship was about to go around the flame, the magic tool ran out of magic power and the flame went out.
I made sure of that, took the tool, and returned to the ship.



I thought it looked pretty good. What do you think?

"I think it's the best flamethrower ever made. It's amazing!

If it's only about firepower, it surpasses a B-rank mid-level wizard.

It seems to be well received by the engineers.
I don't care if I'm using it, it looks powerful enough to be used for defense. ......
At this point, one of the artisans muttered something significant.

"This isn't an artifact, it's a regular 'flamethrower', right?

All the eyes in the room focused on the craftsman who mumbled something disturbing.
I'm not sure what to make of this.
...... looks very interesting.
Fortunately, there are no people in the vicinity, and unless you sink the ship, there will be no damage from the experiment.
You'll be able to get a lot more than just a few of them.

I'm sure the blue flame will do the trick.

Catherine asks me with a happy expression on her face.

I don't care, go ahead.

With all the attention around her, Catherine turns the magic stone into an artifact.
We all looked at each other expectantly for about ten minutes. Finally, the artifact is complete.

"I'm going to do some experiments, but don't get too close to ......, okay?

"I know. Safe travels, Kaede.

The artisans of the Kaede Trade know about my power, and none of them seem to be seriously concerned.
They're pretending to be serious and praying for my safety, but their faces are clearly smiling.
It's like they're in a bad mood.

As I leave the ship and get some distance away, the ship turns around and starts to take a position where it can leave at any time.
I can hear them laughing from time to time, but they seem to have a sense of safety.
When I was sure that I was far enough away from the engineers coming out of the back of the ship, I activated my magic tool.

An extremely thick blue flame spewed out from the magic tool.
It was over forty meters long and nearly seven meters thick.
The stability and directionality of the flame seems to be stronger than that of the "flamethrower", and the flame does not leak out to us, but the hot air is transmitted to us.
After a moment's delay, the sound of seawater evaporating echoes, and more intense heat rushes in.
In addition, the air expanded by the heat almost swept me away, and I quickly used magic to control my position.
After enduring a few seconds of activation, the situation stabilized.

The cheers from the ship can be heard up here.
The firepower of this weapon is more like a degraded version of the Sublime Dragon's Breath than an enhanced version of a magic tool, so it's no wonder the engineers are overjoyed.
With it, they could have cut down the Decibatore tree without me.

It's a pity that the requests for large scale felling have disappeared with the securing of Brokens.
It's also useful for combat, in case a large number of demons suddenly attacked. ......?
If you think about it, even if it is directional and doesn't cause damage to the sides or back, not many people would be willing to unleash this much firepower near a city.
In the first place, no matter how many handles you put on it, activating it without magic armor is just suicide.
...... What are you going to use this for?
