468-1st Anniversary Extra Edition "Challenge to the Magical Power of Death, Part 1-The Endless Wall"





 The divine realm in the divine realm. There, the two of them, who could be said to be the pinnacle of this world at present, were exchanging words with serious expressions.

''........No.''
I want to help you too, Kaijin-san.
No!
Why? If I amplify Kaito-san's magic power to 'baronial grade', wouldn't that be enough?

 It all started yesterday when Kaito tried to start training to increase his own magical power level in order to manage the magic of Isis' death.
 He had set up a ward so that Chrom'eina couldn't see Sharovanal, but Sharovanal had heard from somewhere and offered to help, and Chrom'eina had adamantly refused to do so.

''It's true that the result is the same. But it's not enough to have consequences! The process of Kite-kun sticking up for Isis is important, too!
'Mmmm, I suppose it wouldn't be a problem if the end result was the same...'
You'll be happier with the sweets you worked so hard to make than the ones you bought at the store, won't you, White? That's what I mean.
...I see, I finally understand.
Yeah, so....
Now, let's create a 'magic tool' that increases the amount of magic you can use just by touching it...
"...no, no, no...

 As for Shalovanal's motivation, it's a cute one, wanting to do something to help Kaito. However, if she, who can be said to be almost omnipotent, lends her power without dead weight, that is exactly how it will end in an instant without the effort of Kaito.
 For Crom Eina, who values the process as a thing, it is a problem that cannot be overlooked, hence she refuses to cooperate with Sharovanal.

''........But I also want to help you in some way, Kaito-san.
''Ummm.......Well then, I'll have you make me a magic tool to use for training? If I had a magic tool that had the properties of eh--like, my training would be better...
Okay, okay ... we're ready.
Yeah, thanks. Okay, I'll go to my friend Kite's place.

 Receiving the magic tool that Sharovanal had created, Crom'eina waved her hand and left. And in the divine realm, a still somewhat dissatisfied Shalovanal was left behind.
 It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
 Then the pleasant man in his own room is projected, and Shalovanal lightly waves his finger at the pleasant man.



 No one heard those words, which I muttered with a faint smile.







 The day after I decided to challenge the magic of death for Isis-san's sake, I was regretting my decision for a bit.

''Then I'll start training today.
Uh-huh. But first, can I do one thing?
Yeah?
Well, what about that pile of 'Fruit of the World Tree'?

 Yes, there are hundreds of fruits of the world tree piled up behind Kuro, which gives me an uneasy feeling that I can't even begin to describe.
 

''.........This is to be used to recover from Kaito-kun's fatigue. For now, it's '500' as 'for today'.
For today!

 By mistake, eating 500 fruits from the World Tree is not training. It seems that there are some species of demons that can increase their magical power by eating foodstuffs that are laden with magical power. My Rin is the same.......but I've heard that the human race can't increase their magic power by eating food.
 In other words, the purpose of eating the fruit of the World Tree is not to increase magic power, but rather the efficacy of healing all wounds and fatigue.

 To sum it up, I'm going to be going through the 'training in hell that I can't get through unless I eat 500 of the fruits of the World Tree'... it's going to be much tougher than I imagined.

''First, I'll explain the basic way to increase the amount of magic power. The more magic power you use, the greater the maximum amount of magic power you have. Especially if you use magic power to recover it from a full tank until it's empty, it will increase significantly.
Can I ask you a question?
Okay.
I thought magic could be 'fainted' when it's empty.
Yes. ''Not only that, if you use up your magic power too quickly, you'll have headaches and dizziness, and above all, you'll feel very weak. That's why we usually increase the amount of magic over time, but this time it's not enough at all! I'll have Kite-kun use his magic power 'until he passes out again and again'!

 

If you faint, you won't wake up until your magic power is restored to some extent. But don't worry, if you faint, I'll replenish some of your magic power and use 'awareness magic' to 'force you to wake up'.
Uh-huh?
So when you wake up, eat the fruit of the World Tree. The fruit of the World Tree will also restore your magic power so that you can train again.
Oh, yes.

 I mean, what's the point? Is it a "torture that won't kill you" kind of thing?

'So, as for the most important method of consuming magic power, White helped me prepare this magic tool for you.
...a pocket watch?

 Black took out a pocket watch that looked like it could be found anywhere. However, the fact that Mr. White had made it means it was not a half-hearted affair.
 What kind of effect is this going to have...?

This watch is a special magic tool for Kaito-kun, and when he holds it in his hand, it consumes 10% of his magic power in 10 seconds. In other words, the magic power will be empty in 100 seconds.
...What is that cursed equipment........
''With this, even if the amount of magic power increases, I can still consume it all in a short amount of time... for now, let's just 'lightly' faint 500 times today, shall we?'''
Hi.

  What's going to happen to me from tomorrow?
 I take the pocket watch, exposing myself to a cold sensation down my spine.
 I waited for 10 seconds as it was...............I felt a little sluggish, as if I had run.

''Mmm........''
''You've consumed your magic. It's going to get harder when you're less than halfway through, so good luck with that.
'Uh, yeah ... ggh, uh ...'

 As Black said, after about 50 seconds, a dull headache hit me like a hangover.
 And after another 10 seconds, I started to feel nauseous. Nah, I see, this is what it feels like to lose your magic power rapidly...this is tougher than I thought.

 

''.........Haha!
Okay, then eat the fruit from the World Tree.

  Then I eat the fruit of the World Tree that Black offered me. Eeeee, I feel sick and I feel like throwing up.

''My head hurts.......does this headache ever go away?''
''Illnesses caused by the rapid consumption of magic power take a bit of time to heal, even with the World Tree Fruit. ''What do we do now? Do you want to take a break until it subsides?
...No, I'll do it. How much more magic did you gain from that one time?
Hmmm... .001 turned into .0015 or so?
I think we have a long way to go.

 Should we think of it as a mere 0.0005 rise, or should we think of it as a meteoric rise to 1.5 times what it was earlier... Either way, 100,000 times is a long way from the realm of 100,000 times.
 But let's go for it..........but geez! This is going to make my headache even stronger! That's 498 more times.......................I see.
