"Mister Sergio, find out what his weakness is."

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

Yes, sir. I see.

　A voice rises from the allies who surround the black wolf spirit, tentatively called the black flame wolf, together with me.

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

　In response to these words, I invoke my magic.

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

　This is the Searchlight family's proud magic, [Junkanbou].

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

　Like【Detect】, this is a magic with no offensive power.

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

　It is a magic that I do not usually use very often.

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

　The reason is simple.

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

　The reason is simple: [Detect] is a spell to find out the weak point of an opponent.

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

　It is a very useful magic if used effectively, but that was a long time ago.

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

　In the past, before the first king, when the land was infested with demons, the magic of the Searchlight family was indeed very useful.

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

　But in the modern age, it is not so useful.

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

　If you were dealing with demons, it would have been very useful to detect their weak points by using [Ganbaku].

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

　However, the first king, with the help of many wizards, exterminated the demons and created the world of man.

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

　Many years have passed since then, and most of the battles have been fought between humans.

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

　There is not much point in trying to [break through] people.

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

　A wound to the head or stomach can be fatal in most cases.

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

　Therefore, the magic of this [Jinkan] was losing its place.

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

　But now it is different.

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

　There is nothing more useful to deal with a totally unknown black flame wolf, a monster or a spirit.

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

　I activate this [Ganbaku] and reveal the characteristics of the Black Flame Wolf.

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

"......As I thought, this is a spirit. There seems to be a mass of magic power in the black flame that surrounds his body. Probably, it will disappear if you attack it and dissipate the lump of magic power.

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

"...... Is that all?"

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

"Yeah, it doesn't seem to have any other weaknesses. But there is one more thing. Perhaps this Black Flame Wolf's magic power is finite.

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

"...... isn't that obvious?　How many of them are infinite?"

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

No, it is not. I think this guy is probably an ice spirit summoned by Bait van Barthe and transformed into a [black flame]. And summoned spirits are given a certain amount of magical power by the summoner, and when that magical power runs out, they return.

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

"So you're saying that you can either attack the mass of magic in their body and make it disappear, or you can hold out until they run out of magic and wait for them to return?"

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

"That's right."

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

"Shit. If the Saladians had been here, they could have attacked with water. If those were black flames, we could have put them out by pouring water on them.

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

"...... that doesn't seem to be the case. According to [OBE], this black flame wolf does not have a weakness to water. Perhaps it is not so effective.

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

　He passes on the information he has obtained through this process to his companions.

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

　Unfortunately, however, they could not find out the most important information.

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

　The choice is whether to attack the magical mass inside the body of the Black Flame Wolf or to fight an endurance war of attrition.

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

　But endurance warfare would be the last resort in this situation.

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

　After all, our master Schneider is ahead of us.

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

　We can't just sit around stalling for time while Schneider is fighting.

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

　Besides, the rock giants are still rampaging in the rear.

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

　They too had already suffered a great deal of damage.

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

　I was also hoping for a water attack.

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

　Water on fire will extinguish it.

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

　This is, so to speak, common sense.

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

　So, I was also thinking that I could not use that method until I did the [detection].

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

　For example, I was thinking of utilizing the terrain to somehow lead the Black Flame Wolf and drag it to the Rhine River.

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

　However, I decided not to do so as a result of the [detection].

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

　This magic should be able to tell the attributes of demons, especially their weak points.

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

　It is said that this magic was also unexpectedly useful in the time of the first king.

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

　It is said that the first king who established the country at that time assigned wizards to each region, and used the searchlight family's [Junkanjitsu] to determine the location of the territory when the wizards were treated as nobles.

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

　At that time, there were still demons in many places.

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

　Naturally, demons do not live in a single territory, but rather live in groups in the land.

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

　In order to protect the people from those demons and to grow crops, it was necessary to effectively use the magic of the nobles who ruled the land.

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

　And each demon has its own weak points and resistant attributes.

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

　For example, it is inefficient to send a family that uses fire magic to a land where many demons are resistant to fire.

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

　Therefore, there was a history that the searchlight family of those days selected wizards who would be active in the land by "detecting" demons in each region and exposing their weaknesses and resistances.

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

　Well, there are many cases in which the local environment was prioritized over the demons living there.

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

　For example, the Fontana family's [summoning ice spirit], the colder the surroundings, the easier it is for the summoned ice spirit to show its power.

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

　For this reason, the Fontana family is said to have been allocated the northernmost territory, so it is likely that the decision was not based solely on [detection] alone.

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

　Anyway, water attack cannot be a weak point against this black flame wolf.

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

　So, there is only one way to take.

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

　Let's cut through the body of the Black Flame Wolf with our swords and let the magic in its body dissipate.

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

Let's do it all at once! On my signal, attack simultaneously!

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

"Roger that!"

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

"............ now!　A moment."

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

　There's no need to stall.

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

　The reason I have probed the opponent's weaknesses is because I wanted to proceed with caution.

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

　If there is a clear weakness, so be it.

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

　All you have to do is to attack the weak point.

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

　But if there is no such weakness, then so be it.

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

　However, if they are spirits, we have no problem with them.

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

　We, named after the Reinsatz family, have the strongest magic, [Setsuna].

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

　With this [Setsuna], we can stop time and attack.

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

　Thus, we activated our "Setsuna" at the same time.

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

　In the world where time has been stopped, as many as 18 heads of the class approached the Black Flame Wolf at once and thrust their respective weapons against the Black Flame Wolf.

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

　We won.

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

　Even in the stopped time, my [Detection] had been watching the opponent's magic power.

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

　I confirmed that the mass of the Black Flame Wolf's magic power scattered as several swords were thrust deeply into its body.

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

　After witnessing this, I let go of the swords that I had thrust into the body of the Black Flame Wolf and move away.

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

　The next moment, time began to move again.
