138 Episode 34: The Flash Of Thunderlight
I don't know if I can actually suppress the power of the Demon Stone with dark magic to not try it, so quickly Charne started Fenrill's Demon Stone again.
Leaving the salon, we all watch Charne pour magic into Fenrill's demonic stone. After a few deep breaths, Charne nods her gaze at me. I made sure Charne was ready and deposited the Celestial.
"Tilty, you can always go this way."
Speaking to Tilty, Tilty was taking a deep breath with her hands on her chest. I felt Tilty's gaze over the vale and made sure Tilty was ready.
"Dear Anis, If Persimon activates the Demon Stone, it will curb the Demon Stone's activity. So let me see if Persimon can control it."
"Okay. Charne, start."
"Yes."
Slip, and honk your throat and Charne activates the physical strengthening to instill magic into the Demon Stone.
Make sure the tiny, thunderous sound starts to sound, and Tilty hands toward Charne and the Demon Stone.
"Be embraced by the restful arms of darkness - Rest!"
A pale purple light emerges like a moya from Tilty's palm, and it becomes entangled in a demonic stone as if it were a string.
The difference from before was obvious. The thunder that propagates to Charne becomes weaker than before. The output on the Demon Stone side has fallen so far as I can see.
"... should I?
"Not yet. - Persimon!
"Ha, yes!
"Handle the same magic as magic, let the magic flowing from the stone flow into your body and master it."
"What, ah, but how!?"
"It's the same procedure as physical strengthening!
To Tilty's sharp reprimand, Charne nods small and closes her eyes again. As Charne takes a big, deep breath, the thunder blurs and pictures his ears and tail as before. However, it is still more harsh and weaker than before.
"............ no...!
But the light increased at once as Charne turned into a distressingly distorted face. The thunderous sound grew stronger, completely in the same condition as the previous start-up experiment.
"Charne!"
"Chi......! Persimon, infuse the Celestial with magic!
Charne concentrates her magic on the Celestial to respond to the instructions she has flown in. Previously, though the output doesn't seem as good as the thunder that rose in the sky, Celestial is wrapped in lightning like it's about to burst.
The thunder that echoes also sounds as if he is roaring. I have to release the magic and give Charne instructions.
"Charne, in the sky -"
"Not yet! Persimon, keep it that way, even if you will! Cover with your own magic the magic that tries to diffuse from the Celestial!
Tilty gives instructions by blocking my voice from trying to release magic into the sky. Sharne stays in the grip of the celestial, concentrating her consciousness as she sweats.
Though thunder lights are about to be suppressed with membranes made by Charne's magic, thunder slips through them as they leak out. It ran around and part of it plundered Charne's shoulder.
"Ouch...!? - Ah"
The moment Charne relaxed in that moment, the thunderlight was released all at once to burn the ground. Sharne takes the celestial out of her hand and blows it backwards like it was a shock.
Gakkun, who had refrained, held Sharne in his arms, and Navre rushed over in the same way. Priscilla is extinguishing water magic that the ground where the thunderlight ran was likely to burn under the influence of thunderlight.
"Charne! It's okay!?"
"Her Royal Highness Sister Wang...... Yes, I'm fine. My shoulder just got a little tingly paralyzed..."
"... yes"
I also rush over to Charne to see how things are going. Charne's in Gakun's arm. Looks like he's not hurt. In relief I caressed my chest down unexpectedly.
"Hey Tilty! Don't make Charne too impotent!
Is Tilty hearing me or not? I'm picking up a celestial that Charne removed.
"Tilty!"
"I hear you.... There's been a harvest, it's handy. Persimon."
"To?"
Charne is tilting her neck about something. Tilty gives me the pattern of the celestial he picks up. I take the celestial and put it back in the sheath.
"What's the harvest?
"There was light in how to use the Demon Stone."
"Light?"
"Yep. I was wrong from the first idea."
Phew, and sighed troubledly, Tilty put his arms together.
"Because of your precedent, I was holding you in captivity... but it is impossible to control the magic of the Demon Stone without the Demon Stone body or engraving marks. Without demonic stones and engraving marks, the magic created by demonic stones is out of control. Originally, spirits to control magic also become dysfunctional. So you'd better change your mind."
"Specifically?
"Allow the magic drawn from the Demon Stone to be released through the Demon Prop. If the magic of the Demon Stone remains in your body, the magic is replaced. It was useless to try to leave uncontrollable power in your body. Then why don't you just release it out of your body and consume it with magic props? Props can work with predetermined magic, right?
"To the point of being...?
Demon Stone's magic reacts to dyeing magic and dyes the magic of the owner of the compatible magic. The magic is supposed to be controlled by demonic stones and engravings. Although normal magic can be controlled by the resonance of the Spirit, the magic of the Demon Stone cannot be controlled because the Spirit is replaced in the first place.
Then I don't think about controlling it in my body from the start. It pumps magic into the body and releases and uses it directly as it is, in the form of magic props. That way, the amount of magic used to activate and the magic of the Demon Stone will be consumed, but it does not need to be controlled in the first place.
"The problem is that it's harder to control than magic, and it's too inefficient… it can be corrected in some way in the form of magic tools that the user is accustomed to and releases."
"As far as it goes...... then, should it be a wand or something rather than a form of Mana Blade or something?
I'll say what I can think of, but Tilty shook her head left and right.
Although the wand is meant to fill in the spiritual stones of the specialty attributes and to aid in the use of magic, Tilty seemed negative to the proposal.
"If it's a magic wand, you always have to carry it, and even if it's a short wand, one hand will block it. I can't say it's ideal given that it's difficult to use with other magic. More... like this, I wish there was something instantly magical and instantly releasing..."
"Um, I mean, it's just the use of a person's body as a magic passage for demon stones, right? And with magic in the moment of release, and if you can, something you can let go of is good..."
"That's a nice expression for a passage. It's easy to get an image if you have something to be aware of the motion if you can. The accuracy of the image greatly affects the operation of magic."
"Hmmm......"
Me and Tilty arm each other and think about the right image to use the Demon Stone. Something with instant magic and ready to let go......
"... throw or something?
"... Easy to imagine, but you're going to throw the Demon Stone once at a time?
"You can't. Hmm, then you can't throw spears or anything..."
Or is there no demon stone? Even if it is a throwing spear, it is lost if the spear cannot be recovered even if it has been hit with magic.
When I was troubled with my troubles with Tilty, I accidentally squealed zero. I noticed something, and it was Charne who raised his face like he said.
"... Um, Her Highness Sister Wang. Then I might have figured it out."
"What!? True!?"
"Yes. If that's the case, I think I can use it."
"Let me hear it, Persimon."
Bad, Tilty asks as he packs his distance from Charne. Stuffed by Tilty, Charne said, clapping his shoulders to make it smaller.
"- Yu, it's a bow!
"... bow?
"Yes. If you incorporate the Demon Stone into the bow and let go of the magic drawn from the bow with an arrow... I thought you would meet the conditions that His Royal Highness Sister Wang and Lord Tilty said..."
"" - That's it!! "
Bow and arrow! I see, then you can release the magic drawn from the Demon Stone in the form of an arrow, and if you incorporate the Demon Stone into your bow, you don't have to let go!
Did Tilty come to the same conclusion as me, my voice and I suffer? We'll soon see each other in the face.
"What do you think? You think you can go?
"As things stand, I think it's close to the ideal shape within control. It's also an interesting idea to incorporate demon stones into your bow. I think it's easy to imagine the motion of pulling a bow as a time for magic. The question is what to do with the arrows… ideal for materials that contain magic."
"Can't we incorporate spiritual stones into the iron on the arrowbutt? In principle, it's the same as Celestial."
"That would end up disposing of the Spirit Stone, wouldn't it?
"Oh, well.... then what about paint? That would reduce the consumption of spiritual stones, and most importantly, it's used for engraving marks and magic props. I have a proven track record. So if you paint your arrow butts and increase your magic conductivity..."
"... I can do it. Theoretically, no problem! But, Persimon. Can you use the bow?
"Uh, yes. I used to hunt in the realm..."
Charne answers firmly as she pulls back to Tilty's tasty questions. Speaking of which, I think I've heard you're good at bows.
Tilty nodded satisfactorily at Sharne's response.
"I'll only be able to use this kid now anyway, and it's good for this kid. Well, hurry up."
"... I can't do this."
It was me and Tilty trying to move in a delightful way, but it was Tomas who sighed like a snort that stopped us.
"Tomas, why!? What do you mean you can't!?"
"... you know, Dear Anis. - I don't think we have a workshop yet."
"Ah."
I forgot. Right, you haven't built the workshop yet!?
"Besides, I've never made a bow before, have I?
Tomas is only a blacksmith, and that's what happens when he tells me he never made a bow! Even the Kingdom of Palettia is made of wood when it comes to bows.
But if you can properly target an alloy bow or something, you can make a bow that incorporates demonic stones into the structure itself!?
"Even if it's a good idea to make a bow, you have to make design and material choices that incorporate demonic stones, and I think it's going to be after the workshop is done, right?
"... oh already! Why didn't you finish the workshop? Dear Anis!"
"I've been so busy over here!
I also raise my voice of protest to Tilty, who grabs my shoulder and rocks it up and down. I've been busy, too! With oversight of urban construction and dealing with empires! You can't help being behind me!
"Besides, even if it's good to make a bow... do you have to make a demon sword to give to the Emperor first?
"Ah."
"... hey, you're not gonna tell me you forgot or anything, are you?
"So, Sonna Cotonayo......?
I forgot. 'Cause, look, I was studying to be able to use natural demon stones first? Is that why you can't work on the fact that you can't do the workshop...?
"... we saw the use of natural demon stones, so let's get our hands on it from the artificial demon stones and the demon sword we give to Emperor Lukeheim first, shall we? Dear Annis."
"Yes......"
I can't help it if Navre tells me to be embarrassed. I mean, that's right.
"But isn't this experimental result quite useful for future development?
"Oh, well. That was pretty helpful."
"Hmm? An artificial demon stone with a demon sword... that doesn't look interesting either. I knew you wouldn't be bored to be beside Master Anis. Then it's the workshop! If we can't do that, we can't move on!
"No, well, I am... I don't have the manpower, though. There will be plans for construction."
Even the city government came to Monica, and she was able to rush the construction because magic was introduced, and now that Monica would be in progress after it was included in the plan, you don't know if you can turn the manpower around even if you want to build a workshop.
For once, I've talked to you, so you can build a workshop as a matter of priority. Then he had his hand on his chin so that Tilty could think of something.
"... you do use magic to build here, don't you?
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah, but."
"Then why don't you join me and build the workshop as a priority?
"Insane!?... Oh Tilty, you probably haven't had a magic sickness either!?"
"I'm not drunk! Look, I'm gonna give you a hand too, so let's just go talk to the guy in charge!
"Oh, no. This. Everybody, dissolve, dissolve! I'm gonna calm Tilty down for a second!
Is it too much magic, or are you excited? Probably both, but I'm becoming a bystander when Tilty used to be rough. This is not a good trend.
Tilty did his best, and I just have to force him to rest and calm him down. I pull Tilty's hand and try to get back inside the city. Let's just let him rest in his room and force him to go to sleep if he doesn't look like he can.
"Look, I'm going to take a break. Tilty."
"Oh, my God, I'm not tired! Get off me! Get off me!
It's annoying, but it's not bitter to pull a poor Tilty. I mean, it's getting pretty suspicious, so you're having a real magic sickness.
Oh, I wonder if I'll be a shady jizzy mushroom again when I get back to normal. That's troublesome too...
"... I knew those two were alike."
"Oh, not at all."
Priscilla told me later, but they were all looking at each other behind me taking Tilty, laughing bitterly and nodding at each other saying that. So he says he doesn't look alike!!
