If there is one thing that is frightening about mages, it is that their magic is not an extension of my everyday life.
I can vaguely understand the reason why a sword can cut things, but I can't predict the reason why a mage can light a fire just by snapping his fingers. It seems that magic also follows certain rules, but it is impossible for a non-mage to recognize them. It's no wonder Lucia got such a big name as "The All-Powerful".

Therum shouts a spell. Even at that point, I had no idea what kind of magic Therum was trying to perform.

'...... That's why mages are ......'.

But it's okay. It's okay, I have a warding finger.
Even though I'm standing in front of you, I'm worried that you might attack Crus or the Emperor, but I'm sure you can handle it since you're stronger than me. He's the Emperor.

I closed my eyes and quickly extended my right arm.
Some magic is triggered the moment it hits you. I was filled with anxiety, but it was useless to run away, and if everyone died except me, I would be dead at that point, so I had no choice but to go in.

The shock that was shaking the ship suddenly stopped.
It's time to open your eyelids. I saw the shocked expression on Telm's face. It's as if a natural catastrophe had occurred.

It's not possible. There's enough magic left in the ...... to keep the magic from working!

What? Failure? I'm not sure what to make of that.
Thelum had exposed an obvious gap. If Luke or Liz were here, they would have been happy to slash at him, but unfortunately, Franz and the others had fallen, and I was the only one who could defeat the mages in close combat, so I could do nothing. I hope the Emperor will slash at me.

I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

'Kake...... what did you......?'

'No way, is this the power of the storm! I can't get the formula to work!

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm sure it's not the only one.

I don't know what it is, but it seems to have saved my life. But this storm, if Telm was the enemy, I thought it was Telm's work, but I guess not.
And they're making it sound like I did something again. I'm being framed.

'Huh? Storm? Don't blame me for everything. I didn't do anything. ......'

'd*mn it ......'

Thetherm rushes out . Lines of light rush through his flesh like veins. It's a body-enhancement spell. Apparently, not all magic is useless.

Strengthening the body is a mage's trump card, used only in times of need. It's also called 'bad luck' because it places a heavy burden on the body, and no matter how much it's strengthened, it's no match for melee combatants who use mana materials to improve their physical abilities on a daily basis.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I'm not going to be able to use it.

'I can't use it either.

Thelum's body language was not that of an old man. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. His experience and the places he had been through were too different.

I immediately activated the shot rings in my hands without a second thought. Magical bullets, flashy only in color, hit the therum like a storm. There is an added effect, but it's just an added bonus.
Thelum dodged the bullets, which had little destructive power, by jumping sideways. He pulls the sword from the knight lying on the floor and throws it at me in a fluid motion.

The rest of the warding fingers are five.

Thelma gasped. He would have understood long ago how low the power of the bullet finger was. The fact that you exaggerated to avoid it means--
I looked down at the cold-sweating Telm, feeling comfortable despite the fact that I had only a few boundary fingers left, and said in a strong voice.

'It seems you can't even put up a barrier.

I think Thelum can withstand it even without putting up a barrier, but there are some bullets in there that will paralyze him if he takes them seriously, so evading them is the right thing to do (and by the way, they don't work if you've absorbed some mana and materials).
In response to my good guess, Thelma breathed on his shoulder as he slowly and warily moved away.

'You monster. ......'

Are you kidding me? The day will come when Therum, who can defeat the elite of the Kingsguard just by entering the room, will say such a thing to me. Crus pokes me in the back from behind.

'Yoaningen, be on your guard! Take them down quickly!

'......'

I wonder if you could hit me with that wand I lent you. I'm sure that the magic-less Krysus is stronger than the fundamentally useless me.

But what should I do? To restrain a mage, you need a restraint that has the power to block magic. In addition, even that may not work against a high level mage.
Therefore, it is very difficult to catch a mage who has sucked in a lot of mana and material. They always have an unpredictable trump card. That's why battles with infrequent but high-level mage criminals usually end in the death of one of them.

I quickly said with a hard-boiled smile to Thelm, who for some reason conveniently couldn't use magic properly.

'Telm, I don't want to kill even a single arm of the Abyssal Fire and Destroyer. Throw away that bracelet and surrender.

It's not that I'm worried about the treasure.

Telm is an accomplished mage. But his power rests on the bracelet.
To a mage, a wand is both an amplifier and a control device. Just as Crus was unable to use magic properly with his unfamiliar wand, Thelm's power will be greatly reduced if he loses his wand.

Thelum's handsome face twisted at my request, and his will to fight became apparent.
Just as Therum was about to open his mouth, Kecak Chakka behind him said in the calmest voice I've ever heard.

It's a good idea to get out of the way. It's better to retreat.

'...... d*mn.'

The other day, you were only talking about receiving money, right?

Before you can raise your voice, the therem will flip. He kicked down the door with a speed not inferior to the vanguard and ran out of the room. Kecak Chakka follows him.

I should have gotten chills. I should have been afraid of it, as humans are afraid of death.
But I was just as comfortable. Maybe next time I shouldn't wear this shirt to ...... escort.


Which reminds me. The last time I encountered one of these was on a strange stormy day.
I've been in so many storms that I never noticed it, but apparently it came with the storm.

I thought there had been no sightings of it since then, but I didn't expect it to be flying in the sky.
I was told that I would never encounter it again in my lifetime, but now I've encountered it again. ...... I'm so unlucky.


Aware that my sense of danger is completely paralyzed, I look up.

There was no storm outside the window that had just spread. No, the world itself, which had just spread out, had no shape or form.
What lay outside was a complete white. The Treasure House is a different world recreated by mana material. A treasure house with a thin layer of mana material would be an otherworld similar to the real world, but a high-level treasure house is different. It is an alternate world governed by rules that are far removed from the real world. That's probably why magic doesn't work there.

You're being too presumptuous.

In the event that you are not aware of it now, you can't help but smile at the fact, and the mouth of the Phantom, a strange child wearing a fox mask, smiles at you.

Before you know it, the scene on the other side of the door through which Telm and Kecak Chakka ran out has been replaced by something different.

They bumped into each other. They were swallowed. Finally, they understand the reality.
The fox cub says. The voice that came out of his mouth was faint, and the intonation was strange, but it was definitely our language.



"Yo koso. I'm sorry.



The inside of his slightly opened mouth was as red as a flame.


It was the end result of a treasure house that had grown too strong. A strange place that travels the world. A living nightmare.
Because of its difficulty to find and the powerful phantoms that lurk in its innermost recesses, it has yet to be conquered by anyone, ever. Estimated certification level 10.

They learn, they travel, and they play.


The Lost Inn. That's what the strange treasure house is called.



"Kangeisuryo.

'Liars'.


They're gods. One of the great gods that reign in this world. I made it out alive the first time. I don't think I'll make it out alive the second time.
They cannot be defeated. The only thing a small man can do is negotiate. That's what God was.



The fox family smiles deeply at my sudden outburst.



"No way.
