41 Episode 40 Weapon Break





 The next holiday.
 I had come to the E rank labyrinth that Mea and I had conquered before.
 Today, I didn't come here to capture it, but simply because I wanted to try out a new skill.

 I would try the Weapon Break I got the other day.
 I point my hand at the steel sword that was granted to me.
 

 Would it be a skill that would destroy the opponent's weapon? Or maybe it's a skill that will destroy my weapon.
 Either way, if activated, it will have some effect.

 ........although it's not without the possibility that it's a negative system skill.
 When we descended to the third level of the labyrinth, we found Sahagin.

 The Sahagin is a demon that looks like a human-shaped fish.
 It has scales unique to fish, and is quite agile.
 In addition, it has a spear, and it is an excellent monster to handle.

 When I came to attack it with Mea-san before, we fought together, so we didn't have a hard time with it.
 However, what will happen this time?

 I've grown up compared to the past.
 I'll be fine, I guess.
 I want to verify it one-on-one first.

 However, Sahagin was acting with at least two of them.
 We can't take our time with this.

 For now, let's do one of them.
 I'm going to attack first with my knife with a poisonous attack, as usual, to kill one of them.
 The Sahagin, enraged by the death of its companion, jumped at me.

 Even though it's a fish, it has great leg strength.
 It dodges the blow that fell with the spear from the leap.
 ........Let's try it, shall we?

 After dodging the spear thrust out by Sahagin, I swing the sword down on its hilt.
 Simultaneously, he activates the skill.

"Weapon Break!

 It was the moment I activated it.
 My sword shattered. At the same time, a powerful impact went through the surroundings.
 It was like a blast.

 Sahagin and I were blown away. I'm sorry.....
 Is that the weapon break?
 I quickly get up and throw the knife at Sahagin, who has staggered back to his feet.

 Just before I threw it, I gave him a Weapon Break.
 Seeing the moment it was impaled on Sahagin, I activate the Weapon Break.
 ...........Instantly, it exploded.

 However, the weapon shattered and disappeared........
 I see. So this is the Weapon Break.

 .........A skill that unleashes a powerful blow at the cost of a weapon, huh?
 This would be an attack that could be used quite well.

 One thing I'm curious about is whether it only works on weapons.
 I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.

 I give the ring I've created a weapon break.
 This is easy to use, like a pebble.

 I threw it at Sahagin, who was nearby, and when I activated the skill, a small explosion occurred.
 ........The skill is activated.

 However, it's not that powerful.
 Is it affected by the size of the weapon?

 I try different sizes of swords, knives, axes, spears, staffs, etc.
 My first prediction seems to be correct.
 It means that the larger the object given to it, the more powerful it becomes.

 I run away from Sahagin.
 Then, I enter the nearby woods and touch the trees with my hands.

 I check behind me.
 When Sahagin is near the trees I touched, I activate the Weapon Break.
 The trees in the labyrinth explode all at once, swallowing Sahagin and the others.

 A burnt out field was created behind them.
 Even the material of the Sahagin that was thought to have died first is caught in the explosion and is a piece of wood.

 ........That was a close call, me.
 If I wasn't careful, I might have ended up like this myself with the first blow.
 The more dangerous place is that lingerie shop. 

 A woman accidentally wears these underwear and mentions Weapon Break.
 All hell's breaking loose.

 You see, when a man and woman get together like that, they say, "Weapon break! And try accidentally screaming.
 Your underwear could have exploded and men and women could have exploded all over the place.

 It's kind of horrible in a way that other people can't see their skills at all.
 ........Speaking of which, there are times when the world is filled with inexplicable incidents, like a big mysterious explosion, or a mysterious divine cover-up.

 Perhaps a skill has been activated in an unintended place and something has happened.



 Best of all, it's a great match for my profession.
 ...my profession, huh?

 Who on earth started calling blacksmiths unfair?
 It's true that blacksmiths can only make weapons.

 However, it's the same for other craftsmen as well.
 For example, if they are good at making everyday items, there is no doubt that they can make other things as well, but compared to their strongest skills, the results will be subtle.

 First of all, all the other craftsmen make them by hand from scratch.
 Blacksmiths can make anything on the spot, as if a god had made a sacred object.
 As an added bonus, anything broken with a hammer would be fabricated.

 How did this come to be known as an unusable profession?
 Would you know this if you studied history or something?

 
 Or rather, with the content taught in the country's educational institutions, it's probably just information that the public knows.

 Everyone is given a weapon. So a blacksmith who can only make weapons is a has-been.
 What a blacksmith can make - if it's something that is used in everyday life, knives and knives are things that can be made by people of other professions.

 So there's no need for a blacksmith.
 ........but the facts are different.
 A blacksmith can make anything.

 Is my blacksmith the only one who is abnormal in this?
 Or was there a major historical distortion somewhere?
 I'd like to look into it next time I can find out what it is.

 For now, let's proceed with the labyrinth attack.
 I wanted to test how far my current abilities could go.

 Thanks to the Weapon Break, I was able to make up for my lack of attack power in one fell swoop.
 For example, it seems to be possible to use it on the trees growing around it.

 But, of course, there are many restrictions on the skills that can be put on trees and the like, unless they are rebuilt.
 For natural objects, there seems to be only about a D-rank at best.

 Speaking of natural objects, it seems that soil, trees and stones can also be given a rank.
 ........Because trees can be used as weapons by smashing them into enemies?
 Dirt is a great weapon if you think of it as an eye opener, and so is a stone if you throw it at it.

 I'm not sure what the criteria are for what can and cannot be equipped.
 However, it's possible to use natural objects as weapons if you are very selective.

 A handful of soil, for example, doesn't show its rank. The same is true for stones.
 It seems that a certain amount and size are needed.

 There is no harm in remembering it. That's the perception.
 I went down the hierarchy, humming to myself.
