94 Intermission 5: Override
If you add, you can't despise the fighting power of the brave party. Their abilities were nothing like the monsters attacking on their journey.
However, even they came across what they could call difficult.
Misaki suddenly thought in one corner of her head.
--- I wish I didn't hate extreme reptiles.
Otherwise, he would have been in a panic before a giant lizard over ten meters long. Furthermore, the lizard was a fiery red skin, and when she opened her large mouth just enough to swallow her with a sip, she exhaled flames from the back of her throat.
Gou! ! Hot air roars Misaki's cheeks with the sound of a burning air. She is a man who manages the magic of fire, and even if she is more resistant, she feels "hot". It's not enough if someone other than yourself hits you.
"D-ya!"
Misaki, who has avoided the lizard's flame emission, immediately detonates the instep and strikes an accelerated kick on its cheek, quickly raising an explosion and increasing its power. Goblins have the power to crush not to be able to fight in a single shot, not to be able to fight. However, he seemed to have the durability to match the giant, and could not defeat the great lizard. Nevertheless, it was heavy enough to fly the lizard.
Misaki, who did not pursue, was replaced instead, and Aritsuki wearing the light of "" runs instead. Demonstrating greatly increased physical ability, he is just like "flash". And a flash of a swung sword cut the nose of the lizard.
Although angry, the wound was equivalent to a scratch for the giant, and the painful large lizard turned sideways with a rapid movement that was not suitable for the body, and the moon hit the tail with centrifugal force. Arizuki immediately holds a sword and takes a defensive posture. Damage was nothing due to the armor that was worn with the guard of the sword, and the defense level raised by "", but all of the impact was blown away without killing.
The large lizard lands on the ground and opens its mouth toward the unreformed Arizuki. Guren's fever was rising from the back of his throat.
"That's right, the wholesale store is down."
Ayana calmly muttered, squeezing the rifle with high magical power, contrary to words. When the bullet with the operative method hits the large lizard, it explodes and the flame emission is interrupted. Although the pursuit of Arizuki was prevented, the large lizard fired a fire at Ayana this time.
"Ayana" "Official ........."
Immediately before the flame is released, Misaki catches her best friend's neck and uses the explosion propulsion to leave the place at once. Slightly later, the fire of Guren ran where they had been. There is no need to worry that Misaki will follow you in Ayana because it was already woven. Even so, the calories felt even from a distance away, while keeping a cool expression, sweat caused by something other than heat passed down my cheeks.
Misaki, who was holding Ayana, repeatedly exploded and moved quickly, and merged with Aritsuki, who had left the large lizard.
"... It's far more robust than expected."
Ayana said while loading a new bullet. The earlier bullet had the power to shatter a one-meter-diameter rock with a single blow, but the red lizard was only slightly frightened.
"Speaking of defense, it may be the highest since I came to this world."
Even if it's Misaki, the feeling that came back at the moment of striking while passing through the brace is very hard. There was no impression that it was damaged. I expected it to have the vitality of a giant, but it was more defensive than expected.
"Well, we have no luck. Why do we encounter such a big monster as soon as we enter the valley?" "Or maybe we were glad we met I guess. If bad peddlers and adventurers come across, they would have been burned down without any help. "
It was an individual who could be called a "blaze lizard" if it was identified by its appearance-only features. A lizard-type beast that normally lives in a volcanic area. Ecologically appearing in such places is a story that would not normally be possible.
Unless this is a place called Blaze Lizard Gorge, it's a story.
"I heard about the story of a big monster that appeared 100 years ago as a piece of knowledge from Fee, but no way to match it with such a petite legend." It's definitely another individual because it has been done. ''
Ayana speculated that an unusual instance of the Blaze Lizard, which stood at the top of the food chain somewhere, had left the land where she was born in search of food. But there is no point in preaching the doctrine of views here.
"And how about Ayana. Is there a valid hand?" "The movement of the Blaze Lizard itself is not so threatening. Misaki and Aritsuki can cope well. I don't want to ... but the problem is that high defense. "
The shot with the explosion of Misaki Misaki is the best among the brave parties with instantaneous firepower. Even if you have a moon, the light magic that you are learning has more support-related techniques than attacks, and slashing with "" activated is his maximum attack power. And instead of firing a stable firepower from a long distance, Ayana's alchemy gun is not as powerful as the other two. At present, none of them resulted in effective hits.
And Misaki and Ayana's concerns were not limited to their lack of attack power.
"Damn, what should I do ..."
The two whispered whisperingly out of reach of Arizuki, who grieved with regret.
(……… Apparently, he doesn't seem to have a sick face yet.) (But if I prolong it any more, it will be a matter of time. I want to manage the situation before Aritsuki-kun's bad habit comes out.) (I'd like you to have a kanna at such a time, because if you're a kid, you'll be able to make full use of Aritsuki's ability.)
Normally, he was a talented person who was able to do most things with his high ability, but with the knowledge of his serious shortcomings, it is absolutely necessary to avoid exploding it at the moment. It was a must-have element. If there is a boy who is a close friend of the moon, he will steer well, but they regretted that he left that role to him.
(In the case of an emergency, Misaki will have to poke and blast) (I only have that)
Despite knowing that there is a confusing consultation with her about herself, Arizuki takes a step back into Blaze Lizard.
"I'm ahead of you this time. Both of you will ask for a cover." "Okay. Then, since I'll be in the moon, Ayana should aim for one of the most powerful shots." "Ryokai"
Each of them has a reward and tries to move together.
"Please wait, everyone"
It was Philias, who had supposedly been waiting for the guards of the guard knights in the carriage behind him, just before the three men started to move.
"Fey !? This is dangerous! Please drop me!"
Arizuki was surprised at the appearance of the weak princess, but shouted immediately with a sharp voice. Despite his desperate attitude, Phileas looked resolutely at the Blaze Lizard ahead.
"No way, the same kind of demon beast that was defeated by the" hero "a hundred years ago appears before the current" hero ". This may also be something of a fate."
The three brave men felt a sign that they couldn't be freer than ever.
"... Apparently the time has come. The heroes have gained much more power than when they first came to this world." "Fey, what are you talking about?"
Misaki's question was not answered directly, but instead Phileas held her hands in front of her chest and began to concentrate her magic. Ayana breathed in the enormous magic that converged in an instant.
"What is this sign of magic and how is it done? Support? Aggression? No, this is more heterogeneous ...?" For you, there's no reason for me to keep this. "
A court magician who can be used for Yulphilia-Philias who has a talent that surpasses even the highest magician in Japan directly under the royal family. She is one of the most talented in the history of Japan, and she creates a series of elaborate magical formulas that are complicated, detailed and intricate even in the eyes of Ayana, who has a genius mind. Within a minute of the start of the procedure, a huge magical space centered on Phileas and spanning a radius of nearly five meters was born. The Blaze Lizard, who would otherwise be trapped by the flame with such a large amount of magic, throbbed his throat frightened.
"A magical ceremony that summons the heroes from another world. Along with it, a secret art transmitted to the Jurphyria royal family. From now on, the heroes will take another step forward."
Philias concentrates on the construction of the procedure and slowly opens her closed eyes. And, as if muttering, praying, singing, he invoked the technique.

"Yeah ......... the power is very familiar. Even if it doesn't go all the way, it seems that about 10% of the power seems to be able to be exerted." "That's more than anything else. "Ahhhh! Look, this body! Isn't it too glamor? And isn't" Your "a bit too tight?"
"... It's definitely a poor body that is incomparable to the past, but the magical power is inferior to" he ", but in addition, his physical weakness The idea of developing your own weapons to cover is wonderful. How much have you been summoned? "" A little over a month "" Really wonderful. There is still room for improvement, but conversely, it's a weapon with great potential. "" Your "chest" doesn't seem to have any potential? " "I'll kill you as you want. Please die immediately." "It's not a shot! I've always been stupid and stupid! Awake Please! "
"Well, both of you. Don't be so terrified. We can only do this for a short time. It's not good to waste time in a quarrel. It would be more meaningful to have more fun conversation time? "" ...... I can't help but say that. I'll pull it down. "" Chit, this bitch gets on the beat. "That's what I'm gonna do!" "Do you want to do it? If you do it, I'll cut through that bulging breast and make it a sukasuka." "Both of you!" …………sorry""
"... Isn't it okay now?" "What is it. It's not the reptile you've been fighting with before." "Are you stupid? The one in front of you and the previous one are clearly different individuals. Apparently on the breast that grew up wrong, It seems that the nutrients needed for the brain have been poured in. I'm too young and forgetful, and I'm too sad. " "Is it okay?" "Please" "Okay. Let's clear it up."
"Oops, don't be afraid of monopolizing your prey. Let's go and get along here, as in the past." "I would like to leave one somewhere and get along with 'you.'" That's this line, but if you say three guys are good, just follow them. "" Haha, as usual, both of you. Then, let's go. "
--------------------------------------------------------------
Arizuki, Misaki and Ayana knelt on the spot with a terrible collapse feeling that attacks the whole body. Ayana falls down prone.
"Huh ………, huh ……… what was it now?" "Cho, I'm a little bit tired ………… Ayana?" "…………………… ………… "" Oh, no, this kid. My consciousness is flying. "
Misaki hits the tired body with a whip and approaches Ayana. I was relieved to some extent that my breathing was stable and there was no noticeable trauma.
Arizuki smiled looking at the situation, and turned his gaze in a different direction. When Misaki was taken by him and turned his face, they both lost words.
What spread out there was not a spectacular scene that could be described in a single word as "terrible."
Traces of one letter carved deeply on the cross section of the earth and valley. Traces of slashing comparable to two or three meters if measured in depth. On the other side, there are huge craters almost a few meters in diameter. And at another point, the ground melts and becomes glassy, and it is still hot.
At the center of the destruction, there is a dead monster called Blaze Lizard (an extraordinary animal that is more than 10 meters long). What remains is a small piece of meat that retains the blood scale and red scales that have soaked into the ground. Even if a stranger reappears here, the corpse would not be distinguished from a species of the great magic that appeared a hundred years ago.
"Is this ... we?"
Arizuki stared at her hand, leaving the sword on the ground beside. Is the hand trembling trembling really due to fatigue?
It is undoubtedly the one who created this "disaster". But by any means, in Arizuki I was not confident that I could assert that.
The sound of stepping on the ground enters your ear. Looking there, Phileas was approaching here with a slow pace.
Arizuki and Misaki are amazed by the destruction of the demon, which centers on the debris of the monster. But Phileas smiled with a benevolent smile, just like a saint.
"After all, you are a hero chosen by God. There was no madness in my eyes." "Wow, what was the magic? What was the magic you just saw? "It's a feeling like it's gone," "That's a royal art called" override. "It's a magic that unlocks the true power of the hero and dramatically enhances that ability." "Is it different from" "used by Arizuki?" Super enhancement "[] directly increases the subject's physical ability, whereas" Override "temporarily releases the subject's potential. The power that Mr. Aritsuki wielded up to now is the culmination of the talent that you will get. "" ……………… Mari, growth ……… borrowed in advance ……… … I mean …………? "
Ayana, who suddenly regained consciousness in Misaki's arms, uttered her own expectations while breathing out.
"It's exactly Ayana-san. That's exactly what it is." "I see ... about ... then ... this is extreme ... I'm tired ... I'm convinced." I don't want to talk anymore. "" Thank you ... there's ... I'll leave it to you ... "
Ayana closed her eyes again and released her consciousness.
"Is it borrowed in advance of growth ... Is it too burdensome to exert it on a body with no foundation?" "It can be a trump card, but this is a technique similar to gambling,"
Although she has not lost her mind like Ayana, the exhaustion of Aritsuki and Misaki is still tremendous. It was impossible to continue the battle.
"But if you use this technique repeatedly, your growth potential will increase dramatically." Growth "... By any chance," override "is not for combat, but rather for combat "If so, if you have the opportunity, it might be better to look at it in the future. It will give you time to build the" override "like this time It is not always the case. We should hope for an increase in our strength without relying on that technique. "" Yeah ..... but I don't feel so nervous. "
Misaki was affirmed by Arizuki's positive words, but the ending was muddy.
In the original world, he only belonged to the karate club, and physical training that puts a burden on the body is a familiar act. If "override" is a technique that embraces the end of growth, the burden on the body that returns to the result should not be wrong. If you use it repeatedly, your body will eventually get used to it. In other words, the body that can withstand the power after growth is completed. Of course, overuse can result in overworking the body and damaging it, but after a good rest and waiting for strength, you can get the same results as intense training in a short period of time.
There is no doubt that the strength needs to be raised as Aritsuki says. What the heroes are heading for-the Devil's Empire is waiting for the "Genie", which they haven't gotten their hands or feet on. To be honest, I'm still worried that I'll be able to deal with my opponent at this stage. For future growth or as a trump card in an emergency, Phileas's Override has gained a reassuring weapon.
Still, Misaki was not dispelled from Misaki.
A mysterious sensation that I felt right after Phileas activated Override and before the effect disappeared.
I definitely remember moving my body. Nevertheless, there is "something" in one corner of the head that warns of it.
(Kanna .... I'm a little scared.)
Misaki whispered small in her heart to a friend who might be worried about herself in the original world. That alone saved her heart a bit.
Afterwards, a group of exhausted and immovable heroes on a carriage witnesses a giant 'icicle' as they travel through the valley.
Philias muttered seriously, saying that it was nothing but the scars of the Ice Genie.
They foresee a rematch with the "nemesis" that awaits their destination.
