"Well, no. I can't reproduce it perfectly at this size, can I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the permission of Thanatos, I touch the huge spirit stone called the great stone in which the spirit of the earth dwells.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, I thought if I could reproduce the same thing with my magical power after [storing memories] through the magical power in it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it seems to be impossible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe it was because it was too big, or maybe there was some other reason, but no matter how much I tried, it just wouldn't work.

"But you can make a small one? You're still amazing, Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the only thing that could not be reproduced was the giant spirit stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The others were possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, relatively small spirit stones such as those mined by the Bryllian mages and others could be reproduced and made from memory with my magical power.

　My sense is that the spirit stones of the earth from the village of Atmos are similar to the ice-absorbing stones found in Mt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice stone could be called a stone in which the spirit dwells, or it could be called a magical stone with an ice attribute.

But I'm sorry to say it. I was kind of hoping that if I came to the village of Atmos, I might be able to make a contract with a spirit of the earth or something..."

"No response?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No. I've tried to pass my magic through this huge stone, but nothing. It would have been nice if he had talked to me or offered me a contract like Kyle did.

"Then why don't you try the rituals handed down in this village?　Then the great stone, in which the spirit of the earth dwells, might react in some way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, in that case, we'd have to take some medicine I don't understand and then have some sort of killing match, wouldn't we?　I hope you're not going to give me a break."

　I have been secretly hoping for something ever since I decided to go to the village of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was to see if I could make a contract with a spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle was called by an ancient tree in the forest north of Vulcania and made a contract with the spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, Thanatos had said to him

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We warriors of Atmos also made a covenant with the spirits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had heard that, so I thought that I might be able to meet the spirits of the earth if I went to the village of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But in fact, as a result of a special ritual, they had somehow obtained the magical technology to become gigantic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not clear whether this is due to the fact that he made a contract with a spirit similar to Kyle's.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But at least there is no one who speaks directly to my head magically like Kyle did, so I guess I can't make a contract with a spirit even if I persist at this point.

　I will have to give up, I'm afraid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it's not like we didn't get anything out of it. I got something better than I expected."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is it usable?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. The magic wand and the nuke of the magical weapon used by the Bryllian mages. They both seem to work fine. Do you want to try it, Thanatos?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I guess so. The warriors of Atmos fight using their own bodies as weapons, but the rock giants were strong. We may have to deal with them in the future. Then maybe I should actually use it myself and know its characteristics."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it is. If you don't know your opponent first, you may end up losing one-sidedly.

　With that, he handed Thanatos the spoils of war he had acquired this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One is a staff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a wooden staff with an obsidian-like obsidian spirit stone mined in the village of Atmos attached to the end.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Upon closer inspection, it seems that the stone at the end of the staff has also been processed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the surface of the stone was once polished to a shiny shine and then a pattern was applied to the surface.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The patterns may have some meanings and may be effective as a magic wand.

"Like this, huh? I see. Just by sending magic power to the wand, magic can be activated?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It looks like it. A magic wand that fires a rock a size bigger than a man's head. I've used it myself, and it consumes very little magic power to fire a stone this size, and more importantly, it has a good range. It seems to be a pretty useful weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But this is not much of a threat to the warriors of Atmos. The problem is the other one."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe so. This is the nucleus of the magic weapon, which is also triggered by magic power. And once activated, it seems to work by absorbing the user's magic power. Shall we give it a try?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh. ...... Wow, that's great. You can move it pretty freely."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It looks like it. It seems to act according to the will of the person who sends the magic power to activate it. It's amazing, though. I think it's hard to make them walk on two legs. I mean, how can it move with just a rock?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, that's what you're worried about: ....... I think the more important issue is the repair function of this thing. I was still able to fight because I had the Ruyoryukon, but without a weapon as hard as that, the Atmos warriors would have a hard time fighting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Lila was also fighting with a hardened brick cudgel, but it seemed like she couldn't give a decisive blow. The Atmos warriors are the most fearsome foes on the battlefield.

"It's no laughing matter. If it weren't for Ars, we'd be in trouble."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not so much me, but the ice and flame sword that's been so helpful. It was also nice to have the experience of defeating the mud puppets."

　Next to the magic wand, we will test the nucleus of the magical weapon with Thanatos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is also made of spirit stone and has some kind of pattern on its surface.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems to be made of a larger size of spirit stone than that of the wand, but more importantly, the shape of the pattern is different from that of the wand, as if there is a secret in this pattern.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the name of the magical nation suggests, this pattern may be the secret technique of the Briaria magical nation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Incidentally, my magical power can produce the raw materials of spirit stones, but I can't reproduce the ones processed into wands and armored weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that some kind of magical treatment must have been applied to them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it seems that anyone can use these wands and magic weapons if they put magic power into them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When magic power is applied to the core of the magical weapon, a giant made of rock appears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, the user's magic power is used to produce a rock body, and if damaged, it seems that the surrounding rocks and stones can be used to repair the damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does this mean that it cannot be repaired where there is no ground?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, since the ground is almost always the battlefield, there are practically plenty of healing materials around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the magical weapons that appear when magic is put into them move according to the will of the person who activates them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It does not seem to have a controller, and can move as we think in our minds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it was not able to perform automatic autonomous actions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This means that when we were fighting with the magical weapon, the user was operating it while watching us from somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if it would be easier to find the user and defeat him than to fight against the weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I like this. Ars, can I have it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You like the magic weapon, Thanatos?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I don't need the staff because I can't use it when I'm huge, but I can use this one. If we bring out the rock giants and fight with them, we might be able to expand our fighting style.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If an Atmos warrior shows up on the battlefield with a rock giant in tow, he's going to be untouchable. Okay, let's split what we got between me, Thanatos, and Lila."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, Thanatos was quite pleased with the magical weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He activates three of them at the same time and manipulates them in such a way that they follow the rock giant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take that back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If an Atmos warrior like Thanatos uses these magical weapons, he will not be so easy to defeat, as I have just thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanatos himself is too strong to use this weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Could it be that the Bryllian mage nation has developed a weapon to replace the Warrior of Atmos, but it has actually ended up strengthening the Warrior of Atmos?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought as I watched Thanatos transforming into a giant and activating his magical weapons to simulate fighting a virtual enemy in a slightly open area in the great valley.
