When Peaceful Times Cease To Exist : In The Beginner's Dungeon, Part 10 — Invoking Mystic Arts

***

 

When Rhine returned to the room where Alfiris and others were supposedly fighting, after swearing at the sword for a long time, the battle was in a bad shape.

The bodies of more than 10 mercenaries are already lying around.

The vanguard was led by Alfiris and Nia, Miranda, who had shed her sister’s clothes, and several mercenaries with a modicum of skill, but apparently their swords were completely impenetrable to the transformed Man Eater.

 

「This thing!」

「It can’t be that too hard, right!」

「Not only was the torso stiff, but the legs are too, right」

「In that case…」

 

Miranda glances at those waiting behind her.

 

「Evade them all!」

 

At the same time that everyone jumped to their feet at the sound of Miranda’s voice, several of the mages unleashed their attack magic all at once.

Rhine was impressed by how these improvised groups could work so well together.

It was easy for Rhine to imagine that the Sister had been through a lot.

Mercenaries instinctively listen to the orders of the best commander in the room.

Which is quicker than such Rhine would thought, the magic hits Man Eater one after another with a flashy impact sound.

The magic of a mage who only works as a mercenary for a living doesn’t seem to have much effect, but Man Eater was still irritated, stomping the ground and howling.

 

「Oooooohhhnnn!」

「I’ve been waiting for that.」

 

Miranda throws a bomb into her mouth, aiming for the moment when Man Eater barks.

Man Eater, caught off guard, reflexively swallowed it.

 

「They say the harder the outside is, the softer the inside is!」

 

The bomb exploded with a roar that was supposed to knock Man Eater to pieces.

The sound was only halfway through.

No, it had to have exploded solidly inside Man Eater’s body because the sound was heard.

However, although Man Eater stopped moving somewhat, she only emitted smoke from the gaps in her shells and did not seem to cause any major damage.

 

「…Looks hard all the way inside.」

「Shit, this is a problem.」

「What should I do I guess I should use the curse brand …」

「You can’t do that!」

 

Alfiris blackmailed by Miranda.

 

「So what do we do then」

「I’ll think about it now!」

「There doesn’t seem to be time for that, she’s already moving on.」

 

Lisa was right, Man Eater was already recovering from the shock of the explosion.

As she readjusts her stance again, Alfiris catches sight of Rhine out of the corner of her eye.

 

「Rhine! Give me a hand here!!」

「That’s difficult.」

「Wait, are you still a man」

「Let’s see it on the bed to find out!」

「T–The worst!!」

「I don’t care about that.」

 

Rhine rushes to Miranda as she pushes away the blushing, agitated head of Alfiris.

 

「Hey, Sister.

How many explosives do you have left from earlier」

「Ahn There are three left.

What about it」

「Three, huh… then five, including mine.

Can you make it」

「 What are you thinking」

「It’s a plan to escape.」

「Rhine! You can’t say that again.」

「No, Alfie.

I think this guy might be right here.

If you leave the bomb with me, are you sure you don’t want them to stay behind」

「You’re talking fast.

I love that, Sister.」

「I wish you would say that in plain sight.」

「Heh.

I’ll give you three minutes.

Can you hold her off」

「I wonder」

「I’ll hold her off.」

 

It was Fenna who came forward.

 

「Fenna, your bow won’t do the trick.」

「No, I’ll use magic techniques.」

「I’m just saying, if you can do that, do it fast.」

「I didn’t use it because it was simply too powerful and could collapse the ruins if used in such a small space.」

「Hey, hey, just make sure we don’t get buried alive, okay」

「I’ll try.」

「Good… Kazas! Come here for a minute!」

「What is it Rhine-san.」

 

Rhine walks toward the stairs with Kazas.

Meanwhile, Man Eater was already repositioning itself.

 

「Fenna, are you sure you can handle this」

「I will be alright, Alfie.

Well, you’ll just have to watch.」

 

Fenna puts her bow over her back and makes a sign with her hand.

 

【O, Gnome, Spirit of the Earth, sit and pray.

Thy power, convey it to me through the earth’s veins.

Tell me, come to me, and let it be in your fist, and let the wave of your wrath be manifested to dispel my enemies!】

《Earth Sweep!》

 

With the magic name, Fenna hits the ground with her right hand.

Then Fenna’s fist, which was supposed to be a thin arm, dug into the ground, and the ground began to radiate toward Man Eater, starting from that point.

Afterwards, the ground suddenly rose up, and with a cracking sound, a tsunami as high as the wall of a small one-story house struck the Man Eater.

 

「!」

 

By the time Man Eater realized what was happening, it was already too late, and being slow by nature, she was swallowed by the tsunami without time to avoid it, and slammed directly into the back wall.

The raised rock then seals the man-eater’s movement as it is.

Alfiris and Miranda marvel at the sight.

 

「That’s amazing, Fenna!」

「I knew Seekers have a different amount of magic power.」

「…No, what do you think」

「You’re calm, Fenna.

That thing is still alive, right」

「Buoooohnn!!」

 

Lisa was right, Man Eater opened her large mouths and began to eat the ground that blocked her movement.

Judging by her uncontrolled gusto, Man Eater will soon regain her bodily freedom.

 

「You don’t eat the ground! What kind of Bad Eater are you」

「She’s used eating swords.」

「But even if we want to use magic in a series of attacks…」

 

Nia looked around at the ceiling.

The ceiling was lightly cracked.

It was easy to imagine that it was the result of Fenna’s magic earlier.

No wonder.

It’s the kind of magic that makes the earth rise.

It would be strange if this space were not affected, but as it is, the collapse will bury them alive along with Man Eater.

They were sure Fenna is well aware of that.

But it seemed that Fenna still had a plan.

She pondered for a moment, and then, as if determined, her mouth tightened even tighter.

 

「…We have no choice.

I’ll use my mystic arts.」

「Eh, did you take the mystic arts out of the Seeker’s Village」

「I did.

Originally, I am not allowed to use it without permission and it should not be shown to others… This situation is the situation.

I don’t have a choice.」

 

Fenna takes a grimoire from the pochette at her waist.

Then Fenna mumbled something elvish, and the clasp on the book came off automatically.

Then the grimoire automatically opens and a magic circle floats up in the air from inside.

When Fenna dipped her arms into the magic circle, which floated vertically on the ground, and took it out, she found some kind of pattern on both of her arms.

On it are bracelets of shining white and silver on both hands.

 

「I will show you a secret art that has been handed down in my family.

Conjure Magic——」

 

Fenna’s family middle name is 「Schmidt.」It is a term meaning「Blacksmith,」a name given to it because of its ability to indicate.

Conjure magic is magic that brings about a change in materials, and「alchemy」is a simple expression of Conjure magic that can be changed to gold through material change.

And the conjuring magic that Fenna’s family manipulates is——

 

【O earth that embraces my fallen child! Now I will show and inscribe your power to those who have forgotten your grace.】

《Earth Bind》

 

「Again——」

【In the name of Rosenwork, it is hereby ordered.

Forge and draw thy form, according to my will.

Elemental denaturation, Dia*】(TN : Vajra Stone)

 

The ground that had blocked Man Eater’s movement changes shape and entangles Man Eater.

And when Fenna touched the ground, the ground was converted into diamonds one after another.

Finally, the soil that bound Man Eater was also converted into diamonds, completely blocking the man-eater’s movement.

Man Eater opened her mouth and tried to eat the soil in front of it in an attempt to escape, but Fenna, who was quick to sense this, slammed the soil into Man Eater’s mouth as hard as she could with a stack of earthwaves, further transforming it into a diamond.

Man Eater, unable to bite through a diamond of the highest hardness or break her prized teeth, is in a state of open mouth.

 

「Alfiris, your sword!」

 

Alfiris reflexively holds her sword up toward Fenna as Fenna cries out.

 

【Share my blessing with this being.】

《Dia Saber》

 

As soon as she saw it, Alfiris’ sword was covered with diamonds.

Moreover, Alfiris even had the impression that the sword itself became lighter.

At that moment, the tail of Man Eater, which had finished transforming, extended and attacked Alfiris with a laugh.

 

「Gekyakyakya!」

「So persistent!」

 

The tail tried to catch the sword that Alfiris slashed down from the top with her teeth, but apparently she underestimated Fenna’s magic.

It was smashed tooth by tooth by Alphilis’s sword, and with a scream it was cut in half.

 

「Haaaaahhh!!」

「Now!」

 

At the same time that Alfiris slices through the tail, Fenna further seals the tail completely with Earth Bind as well.

 

「Great! Now you have full dentures, suck it up, you bastard!」

「I don’t think that’s the issue here…」

 

Lisa calmly clicks her tongue at Miranda’s cheers.

Everyone is relieved, and Nia shows some relief.

 

「But now even that beast can’t move, can it The immediate danger is over.」

「However, my magic is not perfect.

On such a large scale, elemental denaturation would take at most five minutes.」

「That short, huh.」

「I–I’m sorry.

Besides, I didn’t have much magic left to use again…」

「No, Fenna did a great job.」

 

If she look closely, she can see large beads of sweat on Fenna’s forehead.

The magic was fired in rapid succession at a considerable rate, which must have been quite taxing on the person in question.

It is easy to imagine that this would certainly be impossible to hold Man Eater down again.

 

「How is it going, Rhine」

 

Alfiris had a flash of inspiration, and once she turned her attention away from Man Eater.

But these women underestimated the persistence of Man Eater.

The delusion that allowed that Doom to become so evil that he made her his subordinate.

No one was paying attention at the time to the liquid flowing from Man Eater’s slashed tail as it became like tar.
