"[Accumulation]. That's funny, you. But the armor and the greatsword don't have any [accumulation] effect, do they?　Shouldn't I correct you that the rumored power is incorrect?"

　With a loud thump, Barca was blown away.

　Cecil's attack power has obviously increased.

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

　How much more powerful is he now?

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

　At least, there was only the fact that the distance to be blown away had more than doubled.

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

　In spite of this situation, Mr. Barka shouts fearlessly.

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

　......This is a slightly disconcerting sight.

　A young boy's voice coming from a large figure in armor.

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

　But I think it is more the content of the statement that is the problem.

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

　Is Cecil's armor not "accumulate"?

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

　Is it true?

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

　Of course, this story itself is only a rumor and not spread by the person himself, so it may be true.

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

　However, it means that only by clashing swords with each other, Lord Barka could understand what has been said so far.

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

　It may be that he was actually trying to assess his opponent's strength, even though he seemed to be being pushed by Cecil.

I don't know. My armor is invincible. Undefeated through many battles. And it will remain so."

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

"I dared not correct the rumors. I mean, is that what you're after?　...... I see. The very idea of storing power is a lie. And it's more efficient for you if you think so.

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

"...... What are you trying to say?"

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

"That's about as predictable as it gets. It's a nice piece of armor, isn't it? Doesn't it increase your power instead of storing it?　It doesn't add up, it multiplies."

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

　Multiplication?

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

　It is a lie to say that it stores power and is an armor to increase one's power.

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

　...... Do you think that's possible?

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

　Then I must say that it is really a great piece of equipment.

What do you mean, Mr. Hendriksen?　What is Commander Alphonse saying?"

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

"...... Perhaps the different powers of that armor are more terrifying than I have anticipated. I would say that it has unimaginable power. It may be so powerful that it is not a delusion to say that it can defeat the warriors of Atmos.

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

"...... Well, I don't know much about math, so I don't understand what Commander Alphonse is talking about. What are you talking about?

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

　It seems that you are not good with numbers, Mr. Zen.

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

　Well, if you came from a mercenary background, that's understandable.

　He said he came from a farming village, so he must not have had much experience with calculation.

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

　Then another person came into the conversation.

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

"You see, the effect of that great sword or armor from the labyrinth is not to store power, but to increase your power by doubling it, and doubling it again.

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

"Oh, what's that? Double your power, Kiku-dono?　But I don't think an ordinary person could beat Commander Alphonse or Ian even if they doubled their size."

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

"That's why. I guess it doesn't end there. If we double the doubled power, we get a total of four times the power. If that's not enough, double it again for a total of eight times. And if that's still not enough, you double it once more to make it sixteen times more, and so on, and you'll be able to beat the Warrior of Atmos someday, won't you?

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

"Huh?　What's sixteen times as much?　Let's see, that means his power will increase to sixteen. Wow, that's a foul!"

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

　Before we know it, Lord Kiku has arrived in our vicinity.

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

　It seems that Kiku understands what Barka wanted to say.

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

　Unlike Zen, he must have been educated somewhere.

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

　The power of that armor and the great sword is not [accumulation].

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

　And that power may have the effect of increasing one's power to double it.

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

　If so, Cecil is right, he would be invincible.

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

　If a person with that amount of magic power could gain more than ten times the power, he would be able to defeat most of his opponents.

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

　But probably not to that extent.

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

　If his power increases by a factor of two, as in Kiku's parable, then Barka would not even be able to fight anymore.

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

　From the very beginning, their power was very close to each other.

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

　Maybe they can increase their power a little less.

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

　Maybe a tenth of each?

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

　...... No, that may still be more than enough.

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

　The power is multiplied and increased just by striking the sword against the opponent.

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

　If the number of the multiplication is low, the effect will be small at the beginning.

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

　But after a certain number of times, the story changes completely.

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

　Even if you only multiply a tenth at a time, you can more than double the original power in less than ten repetitions.

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

　And if you multiply that increased force by a tenth, the force will increase even more.

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

　If you multiply it by one-tenth, the power will be increased even more.

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

　By the way, [thunderbolt] is also strange after all these years.

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

　Cecil does not control lightning.

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

　However, I have heard that it is possible to move as fast as lightning or light on the battlefield.

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

　Could it be that the origin of [lightning] is to be able to move at super-high speed by raising the level of one's ability with a different ability of the armor?

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

　It is possible.

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

　I usually call myself [Raikou] to warn others.

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

　He may be trying to gain an advantage by increasing his power by clashing his swords while distracting his opponent.

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

　You can't call it cowardice.

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

　There is no need for him to reveal his secret.

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

　And I think that Cecil's power has already more than doubled.

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

　In other words, if they clash their swords any more, it will get really out of hand.

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

　Can you win, Mr. Barka?

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

　No, I was seriously worried that even Ian might not be able to win.
