Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu Chapter 192

(…In other words, what do you mean?)

This is the answer I gave to Shiki’s careful explanation through thought transmission.

No well, I just didn’t understand around 20% of it.

I did try my best in listening and understanding it.

The Demon Lord and the Demon Generals seem to be busy throwing out orders, so we don’t have much spare time on our part.

That’s why he easily accepted the proposal of Shiki.

They are moving in a way that decreases the casualties, and they have judged that there’s no demerit in me acting.

And so, there’s no problem in me acting.

Is what Shiki said.

(If I am to say only what we will be doing, it would be that instead of using spells, we will be sublimating magic power as material, in that way, we will be able to utilize Waka-sama’s magic power amount better.) (Shiki)

(Are you telling me to change the Magic Armor’s substance?) (Makoto)

Right now I am having it materialize as a spell to its limit, so completing it as a spell would be easy but…substance huh.

It sounds difficult.

(Yes. I will do the support for the fine details, so Waka-sama just has to strongly picture taking that attack of Root-dono without creating any after-wave and concentrate.) (Shiki)

Without any after-wave huh.

In that case, it would be fine to just imagine something like a shield or a dome maybe?

In this moments, it is hard to instantly digest it even if he explains the theory behind it.

Honestly speaking, no matter what we are doing, it would help me a lot if they tell me in a simple way.

I have already shown my intend to follow Shiki’s plan, so it is even more important.

Anyways, the countermeasure for the crazy blaze of Root has been decided.

What Mio will be doing has already been decided as well.

“Then, I will be try and do it. Even if it doesn’t, there’s meaning in trying. Mio, try to deflect it so the attack concentrates on me, okay?” (Makoto)

“Can I erase it if I can?” (Mio)

“Of course. Only if you can, and don’t push yourself.” (Makoto)

“Understood. I will do my best-desu wa.” (Mio)

Mio doing a cute guts pose is something that I don’t normally see from her, but it helped me release the tension in my body.

Truly dependable.

(I am sorry to interrupt you in the middle of your pleasant chat, but it is already reaching the limit of my charge. I will be shifting to the next phase. A bit more and I will shoot.) (Root)

A casual thought transmission came from the dragon, Root, that is within the sublime light.

(…Don’t ‘I will shoot’ me! You pervert that can’t read the mood. Just because you are going to disappear anyways doesn’t mean that you can just be so casual!) (Makoto)

(I do feel sorry, like seriously. At this rate, Crimson Red might die again, so this time I will owe you quite a debt for this. But it has an enforcing power that even I can’t go against, so this blaze is one of my strongest area of effect attacks. I didn’t think there would be a time when I would actually use it…and that makes me a bit excited you see.) (Root)

At the beginning he sounded apologetic, but at the latter part he turned defiant.

He is genuinely a loss cause.

Yeah, I have confirmed this truth once again.

Just how much distance do you think there is between here and the mountain I delivered the egg of Crimson Red?

This is already not at the level of a summoned beast. That’s a totally different dimension of effective range.

(At least tell me the details!) (Makoto)

(I already told you that it is a buckshot of six elements.) (Root)

(Then why are you looking upwards?) (Makoto)

If it’s a blaze, you would normally point this way and go *dokaan*, right?

And yet, Root is pointing his mouth upwards.

The light ball that was inside the opened mouth of his, is slowly ascending and growing.

It is quite unrestful.

(That’s to increase the scope of it even more.) (Root)

(…Then why is there another power being created at your mouth?) (Makoto)

(That’s to increase the firepower of the resulting attack. In a fight, we dragons like to roar after all) (Root)

(…Is that the preparation for a roar?) (Makoto)

Now that he mentions it, the roars of a Superior Dragon…I feel like I have not received a proper one aside from Grount-san.

Jin and the others received a trauma from the roar of a low dragon, but I wonder what kind of power will the roar of Root possess?

(By the way, to increase the dramatic effect, I am doing an attack that takes time to do. I want it to be impressive you see. In other words, I was aiming for an attack that you will unconsciously look at it when shot!) (Root)

(I honestly want to punch your husband.) (Makoto)

Just how much game logic level of destruction was he planning on spreading?!

!!

Root’s wings shone brighter within the light.

(…He was a nice guy that you would have liked. Don’t say something so sad. Now then, it is the ‘beginning’ of the fireworks. Well, it is not a power that you guys can do something about, so just enjoy it.) (Root)

The moment when the rainbow colored ball continued to rise till disappearing within the clouds, the place began to oscillate.

A trembling that reverberates within the body, like the one of a really low bass.

At the same time, something incredibly unpleasant enveloped my whole body.

With a slightly late squall, the roar of a rampaging beast reaches my ears.

I am sure of it.

This is the roar of that guy!

(Mio, Shiki, are you okay?) (Makoto)

(Of course-desu) (Mio)

(…It is a bit harsh. It has terrifying pressure and it is a storm of abnormal status effects. With lower resistance, it feels like it will draw you closer to death.) (Shiki)

…

Maybe because I am not self-aware of it, I didn’t think of this as such a danger.

Hearing this from Shiki, I feel uneasiness.

Depending on the effective range of it, the situation will become even worse.

This kind of sense that differs from an ordinary person can also be considered a weakness of mine.

(Root! What’s the effective range of this roar?!) (Makoto)

(…)

(Hey, are you ignoring me?!) (Makoto)

(…)

Tch!

Is he in a trance or something? Root is just looking at a point in the sky and continuing with his mouth opened.

There’s no reaction or movement.

The last thing he said was fireworks. Just how far is he going to mess around!

When he said fireworks, was he referring to the last attack?

Hm.

Wait.

If that’s the case, is that ball going to bloom in the sky?

…As a buckshot?!

How ill natured!!

(Mio, sorry but that blaze is probably going to fall in quite a wide range. It might be hard to deal with, but I am counting on you.) (Makoto)

(Yes, leave it to me.) (Mio)

Now then, soon I will have Shiki…

Eh? A thought transmission from Zef?

(Your Majesty, is something the matter?) (Makoto)

While being cautious of the next move of Root, I respond to Zef.

Zef should be busy with giving orders, so I wonder what business he has.

(Raidou-dono, are you able to deal with the Myriad Color Dragon’s roar?) (Zef)

(No, we are cautious of its next move, so stopping the roar is…) (Makoto)

(…No, this one meant if you are able to resist it, but it seems it was unnecessary worry huh. This one doesn’t know what you intend to do, but if you are able to show at least a bit of result, it would be an heroic action. No need to hesitate. This one wants you to do as you wish.) (Zef)

I have been given permission once again.

What a relief.

(I will do what I can. Well then.) (Makoto)

(Yeah, sorry for interrupting you in this busy time. Coercion, paralysis, petrification, panic, weakening lvl 5 curse disease, spiritual ailment lvl 6 curse disease, bodily function decrease, magic power effectiveness decay… there’s still more, but the ones this one has been able to identify are already crazy. What an unbelievable roar. There’s already casualties. Please be careful. Raidou-dono’s group, don’t push yourselves. This one doesn’t mind if you secure your own safety first. This one…wishes you good luck.) (Zef)

(…Yeah. Thanks for your care.) (Makoto)

…Root.

You really did quite the messed up attack.

To cast curse disease from a roar.

You probably don’t know how much I hate curse diseases, but right now, I am thinking of definitely crushing your attack.

I have gotten quite a lot of resolve.

(Now then, Waka-sama. Please imagine stopping the attack that’s gathering from Root and dispersing it, and send that image to your Magic Armor. As long as you strongly think of it, I will support you on the remaining.) (Shiki)

(Understood. Mio, prepare for the attack and grasp the surroundings, and tell Shiki and I that information through linking. Shiki, you will be doing the support and the analysis of Root’s attack. I will be using [Sakai] and concentrate only in my spell.) (Makoto)

Seeing the two nodding, I was relieved and turn my attention to me and my Magic Armor.

I turn everything to within me.

It is my specialty.

Image.

An image of stopping the gathering attack.

“9th Step ‘Gemini’, release. ‘Being that supplements and fulfills, Servant’.” (Shiki)

“Sky thread, fill. ‘Black Sky Network’.” (Mio)

I feel the activation of power pretty close.

Shiki uses Gemini and turns into two.

Mio places a web in the sky.

When I look up, as far in the sky as I could see, I could tell that Mio’s power had been activated.

I silently dive within myself.

I make my image stronger.

I alter the Magic Armor and reinvent it, its substance.

Shield…no.

Web…no.

Mirror…no.

None felt right.

I need a stronger embodiment of power.

Something big that can ‘hold’ and crush any attack.

Destroy the attack.

I think that’s the most fitting image required right now.

Right.

I remember the figure of that four armed giant that can be called the symbol of power, I remember the gauntlets that he has equipped in those arms.

That’s it.

Arm.

Strong, rustic, and in part, inorganic.

A fine arm like that of Io that instills trust.

An arm that would make one think is a human-shaped weapon; make that image bigger, and then stronger.

Something that would destroy anything that’s caught between its palm…let’s create such an arm.

I have decided.

Next, I enlarge the arm of the Magic Armor just like that, and then shape it.

After that, I just have go deeper, deeper.

I lead myself towards the state I have when immersing myself in a fight.

I feel the aria of Shiki from quite far back.

While I pave the beastly road that’s in my heart, Shiki follows with his aria.

It is not only one.

Shiki is pacing with Gemini and was processing at triple the speed.

The figure of those two voicing out loud their aria was like that of a chorus.

Aside from using it as a scapegoat, he said that he is able to place an ability in Gemini before its activation. It seems like this time’s type is the ability to process spells.

(Waka-sama, is it okay-desu ka?) (Mio)

Mio’s thought transmission.

In the first place, because of Root’s roar, it is a situation where we can’t properly hear the voice of anyone, so using thought transmission is obvious.

Shiki’s aria as well, I am just looking at the magic power flow and deciphering from it, so I am not actually listening to it.

(…What?) (Makoto)

(That pervert’s roar-desu. It feels like it is not only going for the demon race city, but expanding even more. At this rate, the attack will also…) (Mio)

(Root brings trouble through and through huh. It feels like it brings instant death to normal people, and it looks like there’s already casualties. Understood. I will see if I can do something about it.) (Makoto)

The people at the towns also follow the principle of power, so they probably won’t complain even if they die, but even if the town is fine, for the people to be wiped out is not fun.

I don’t know if I am able to erase the roar that’s already in effect, but I do have the means, so I let’s try it.

(No, it seems like the attack range will be increasing, so I don’t know if I will be able to cover for it. And so, I was wondering if I can take a bit of power from Waka-sama.) (Mio)

As if saying the casualties in the towns are of no matter, Mio easily denies my words.

In exchange, what she said was that she wanted me to lend her power.

(Power, as in magic power?) (Makoto)

(Yes, if you do that, I will be able to bring out more power. Of course, it will burden Waka-sama, so it is only if I receive your permission though.) (Mio)

If it’s magic power, I don’t mind.

As long as I don’t need to do much. It is something that’s overflowing with no end in sight anyways.

If there’s use to it, I don’t mind at all.

(It is fine, use as much as you want.) (Makoto)

(Thank you very much!! Then, facing me…right, should I say it is like opening a valve? Ah, right! This link that Waka-sama and I -and the extra Shiki- are connected to, imagine as if the one between us is thicker and release it, please!) (Mio)

(Understood.) (Makoto)

While holding doubts of Mio who is strangely exalted and happy, I decide to finish the request of Mio first, since I was feeling a strange pressure from the creation of the arm.

Just like Mio told me, I use the information link that she had connected to Shiki, her, and I; and concentrating in that line, I face Mio and release the magic power, or more like, I imagine pouring it onto her.

(Fuh~ufufufu! It is here, Waka-sama’s magic power! This is the best-desu~It is delicious and feels good-desu~. With this, there’s nothing I can’t do!) (Mio)

…

Well, I won’t delve deeper into it.

If she has gotten stronger, then there’s no problem.

(…Sorry Waka-sama, can I ask you to do that to me as well?) (Shiki)

(Shiki too?) (Makoto)

(Resisting the roar of Root-dono is proving more difficult than I thought, and the support from the aria is running late. I want to prepare the best as possible.) (Shiki)

(Okay.) (Makoto)

I pour magic power to Shiki the same way as Mio.

It is like opening a cork, so it is close to sharing.

(This is…you have saved me, Waka-sama. With this, I will be able to support plenty enough!) (Shiki)

(Even so, it feels like there’s some sort of obstruction in the creation of the arm, a strange sensation. Is this also because the support of Shiki is running late?) (Makoto)

The arm of the Magic Armor has already doubled in size.

Compared to the other parts, its density has increased, moreover, it has already begun taking the form of the image I have.

But when I try to make it more precise and imagine it as a substance, there’s some sort of strange intermittent noise interrupting.

It disturbs my concentration and it doesn’t proceed as I want.

I am leaving the aria crude and putting my concentration depth as priority, so maybe this is the recoil for leaving the fine details to Shiki?

(Noise…Yeah, that’s probably the case. Waka-sama, once more. Please try to form that arm.) (Shiki)

(Understood. Just that, now I have something extra to do, so I will reduce the speed a bit. And Shiki, you also continue with the analysis of Root’s attack, okay?) (Makoto)

(Understood.)

The aria support of Shiki has increased in speed instantly.

It is still slower than my concentration, but I will be going slower from now on, so Shiki might be faster after that.

I look at my surroundings.

The buildings at the surroundings have begun crumbling.

There’s nothing above us, and we have properly secured our footing, but the people that are running must be having it rough.

Zef has gathered with the Demon Generals, and it seems they have already finished creating a barrier to protect themselves.

Rona seems to have suffered quite a deep wound. It doesn’t look like she is participating in it and stays lying down.

The other three and the Demon Lord were deploying the spell.

Moreover, thought transmissions are flying around. Obviously, in this situation I am not thinking of peeking, but I can easily tell that the situation is dire.

Okay, let’s do it then.

I maintain my natural posture and lift my hand.

I open up my fist and call my weapon.

In time, a familiar sensation is finally felt in both of my hands.

The sensation of a bow.

I put the Uchine that appeared at my right hand to my waist, and hold only Azusa which is at my left hand.

I don’t face it towards Root. I simply point it forward.

Even if Sensei has taught me, it is just a ceremonial gesture.

I have already forgotten the details of the etiquette after all.

I am actually putting magic power into it and expecting actual effects though.

While concentrating in having it reach as far as possible, I pull the bow without placing any arrow and the bowstring rings.

The bowstring trembles, and when it calmed down, I did it again.

I repeated this three times.

The bow ringing ceremony.

I wonder how much it will increase the effectiveness.

When I was thinking that, the support spell of Shiki increased in speed by a lot.

Honestly speaking, it was clearly faster than me.

Oh?

(Root-dono’s roar is already showing no effects in my body! Is this what you were intending to do, Waka-sama?!) (Shiki)

For the time being, it seems like it was effective for Shiki who is close.

Right now I am concentrating [Sakai] completely into forming the arm, so I don’t know much of the situation at town, but it is fine to just have it reach there.

Okay then, since Shiki has already caught up, I will not care about the noise and do it all in one go.

A bothersome thought transmission of Zef was send to me, but I am concentrating right now, so I ignore it and aim to finish forming the arm.

After stopping this, I will save the people that are being assailed by the curse disease, and then I will go to Rotsgard—

“?!!”

From Root’s mouth, a laser-like blaze like that of Crimson Red was spit out.

It flashily tears through the sky and pierces through the rainbow colored ball that was slightly up.

It’s been awhile since I have seen the blue sky.

And then, from the pierced ball, it really rained down like a firework. Buckshots, buckshots, buckshots everywhere…

This is…there’s a lot more than I thought and the range is bigger as well!

The thick web was steadily being destroyed, and from the sky, a rainbow colored self-styled blaze was raining down to the earth.

Instead of calling it a blaze, this is more like a volcano eruption!!

“As expected, what you do is impressive-desu wa ne, pervert! Even so, learn that it is impossible to steal the march on me today!” (Mio)

Mio matches the scope of the raining buckshot and instantly expands the web that she set up in the sky.

I can tell that my magic power is flowing to Mio.

The amount is not that much so I don’t mind, but by using that, the black thread web expanded and received the buckshots.

The ones that fell in the spaces at the middle of the web were also stopped by a mysterious light pattern, and not a single one fell to the ground.

“Ah!!”

Eh.

In a moment, the voice of Mio resounded and had a spaced out expression.

I chase her gaze and look afar.

A single rainbow colored ball escaped from the web and fell at the horizon.

I haven’t been there, so I don’t know what’s there though.

At the very least, it’s not the mountain of Crimson Red nor is there a demon race town.

(Mio, you don’t need to mind it. Right now concentrate in maintaining that web, and having the attack face towards me.) (Makoto)

(Yeah…I am very sorry.) (Mio)

The thickness of that pillar of light that was created could be clearly seen even from here.

The vibration and sound came with a time-lag.

One hit is like that?

If all the several hundreds that are at the sky fall at once, not only will the vegetation be wiped out, even the ground wouldn’t remain.

I was honestly amazed by the crazy attack of Root who has already disappeared from sight.

Oh well, Tomoe will probably be scolding him before us in Rotsgard.

We will leave the scolding of that guy for later.

More importantly, there’s no spare time.

Moreover, the noise has been becoming steadily worse.

If this were a radio, it would be at a level where I would have long given up on listening to it. If it were a tv, it would be in the point where it is almost at the lost signal.

Is it some sort of barrier against anything regarding the formation of substance?

No matter the reason, I must do a strenuous effort in my concentration and strengthen my image.

Changing magic power into substance is quite harsh.

(Shiki, the noise is still terrible. I will try doing it in one go but, is it okay?) (Makoto)

(…Yes. Please continue as you wish.) (Shiki)

(Thanks) (Makoto)

I close my eyes and dive deeply inside myself.

I use one hand to cut off and shut all that noise that’s interrupting incessantly.

With my remaining hand, I brush off the haziness from my image, and do my best to expose the full picture of it.

I concentrate only in that task.

When I shut up the noise and properly point my concentration, it was easy.

There was a haziness that was difficult to brush away, and there were so many vague shadows on it that it was incredibly hard to get a full picture of the arm.

Desperately, with the sensation of diving into the depths of water, I do my best to grasp that distant shadow.

I don’t know how far Shiki is accompanying me, but that moment came.

It was a moment that I felt lasted very long.

I once again felt gratitude towards Mio who is holding back the attack properly.

I can do it.

A rough pair of arms that one can even feel wickedness from them.

Those were truly the arms of a robot.

The arms of a machine that has been excessively ornamented.

An organic sensation can’t be felt.

Now then, let’s touch it.

Let’s create this.

I silently touch the arm that is shining silver.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

This is it, is what I thought.

A while after Waka-sama had closed his eyes, the two arms of the Magic Armor detach, get huge, and complex features appear on it.

At the same time, an intense creak like that of a scream resounded in the place.

Different from the roar of Root-dono, it didn’t have any sort of added effect, and it was purely a pain in the ears.

I know what this is.

Not much after, Waka-sama opened his eyes.

He tells me of his success with his eyes.

My mouth was busy with chanting the aria, so I respond with a nod, and put my strength to carry out the little support remaining.

With thought transmission I would have been able to respond with words, but right now I didn’t even have the power to do something like that.

Waka-sama broke through the obstructive noise and grabbed the path to this spell, no, this deed.

I also have a guess on what that obstructive noise might be.

Splendid.

Later, as long as I finish the support in my aria, things will be wrapped up.

I who has created a double by using the power of the ring, have endowed it with the ability for spell support this time.

Doing the processing ability of more than two people at once, I provide a small assistance.

The more complicated the magic is, the more important the beginning is.

Waka-sama normally praises me as being amazing for accomplishing my tasks smoothly, but the one that’s truly impressive is Waka-sama.

Within his pitch dark path, he gropes for new avenues, and creates a path in a pathless way.

And he advances through it without hesitating.

To smoothen things in a place where there’s already a path created, may be necessary, but as long as there’s technique, anyone would be able to do that.

When I am able to help Waka-sama, I always end up being consecutively surprised, and it is also an irreplaceable learning experience.

And, I finally finish all the support necessary.

The Demon Lord and Demon Generals that are able to be in this place are truly lucky.

Rona who is in this place but has no consciousness is quite the unlucky one.

Now, witness it.

Our master’s new step.

From the fingers of the pair of arms that have detached of the Magic Armor, an alteration begins.

I can tell that excitement was running through my body.

There’s already no need to call it with a deceiving word like alteration.

For the sake of not creating weight in Waka-sama, I changed the way of saying it, and had explained it in a more simple way, but…

“He was able to. In a body that’s not of a God…Just how far can a human go?”

He is not even a Graunt.

As a hyuman, no matter how much assistance one receives, to be able to achieve this…

Just how much possibilities are lying in that body of his.

My interest doesn’t run out.

This is why I can’t stop serving Waka-sama.

“Right right. That is the vessel of creation; the ability to give concrete form from an image.” (Shiki)

Looking at the arm that’s shining silver, I felt tears welling up.

The ear piercing noise was the cry of the world.

The obstructing noise was probably the resistance of the world.

Without the qualifications and leaving it to raw magic power and spell technique, the world must have rejected it.

But Waka-sama has crushed it.

He shut it up.

With only his own will and power.

I see. He is an abnormal one, so he will probably be able to go against the Goddess.

While being honored to be a follower of such a person, I look at Waka-sama who has done a great exploit.

“…Waka-sama?!”

“Waka-sama! What’s wrong?!”

Right at this moment, Waka-sama had bent his knees and was about to fall!

My voice and Mio-dono’s voice had overlapped.

(I am okay! I am just a bit tired. You two, please don’t lower your guards.) (Makoto)

A deathly pale face. Looking at his figure that is sweating profusely, I can’t think of him as being okay at all.

But this person is not someone that would say this out loud.

When he is truly in pain, he will hide his true feelings; that’s the kind of person he is.

That’s why I need to do a complete follow-up later.

Right now, I have to concentrate in my master’s great exploit, and the way he will utilize it.

There’s still one job remaining that my master has left me.

(Mio, please have all of the attack face me and have it pass.) (Makoto)

(Is your body…no, I understand.) (Mio)

Because the thought transmission has been left open for all three of us, I am able to hear the words of Waka-sama as well.

It seems like he will finally use that arm.

(Shiki, hurry and analyse that attack. Well, it is in proximity, so I think that if it’s Shiki, it will be fine though. Then, create a mix element that can go against it and extinguish it.) (Makoto)

A mix element that can go against Root-dono’s blaze?!

Even if it is being blocked by Mio-dono in the sky, I will have to do that against something that has been perfected to a point of being art?!

It is impossible.

No matter what I do, I wouldn’t be able to.

It isn’t something that can be done with elements.

(Waka-sama, I am sorry, but that’s impossible. I will hurry and analyse it, but even if I am able to do it well, it would just end up as a downgraded version.) (Shiki)

(Then it doesn’t have to be an opposite, anything is fine. I don’t care if it’s just something that can extinguish that thing. Even if the power is not enough, I will take care of it. Shiki just has to take care of the balance in the elements. Find an adjustment that can turn that thing into zero.) (Makoto)

H-He is being unreasonable.

Even so…it is certainly true that it is not impossible to create an element balance that can erase a specific attack.

If it were a completely opposing element, there’s the need to be on the level of art, but if it’s just something that erases the other, then it should be fine.

In that case, if I at least have the information, I might be able to do something.

But what does he mean when he said that even if the power is not enough, he will take care of it?

(…I will try.) (Shiki)

No matter, I will just follow the idea of my master.

But I wonder how far I can go.

(If you want to, you can also do the same as Mio to power up Gemini.) (Makoto)

(To take more magic power from Waka-sama who is clearly tired already, is just…) (Shiki)

Knowing that it will burden him, makes it even harder to do.

(I am saying it is okay, so don’t worry. I will also have this arm do its job, and I also have work to do.) (Makoto)

Work again.

Is he assuming that there’s still more?

…

I see, the time-lag attack of Root-dono might be…

I did think that it was a roar followed by a blaze, but he d
