Chapter 106
” . . . . Where is that Gae Bolg now?”
“Um . . . It’s said that it suddenly disappeared from the treasury 50 years ago, and was discovered to be in the possession of a demon . ”
“In other words, a demon like Elhart infiltrated and stole it huh . ”
“Most likely . . . . ”
Alright . I’ll go and defeat that demon .
I’m gonna destroy it for sure the next time I find it .
That is something that cannot be allowed to exist in this world .
” . . . Okay, let’s make Iris’s spear next . ”
I have to end an era where that kind of thing is treated as the strongest spear as quickly as possible .
For that to happen, creating a spear stronger than that is ideal .
Or rather, as long as you do the augmenting properly, it’s difficult to make a spear weaker than that .
“I-I understand!”
◇
Several hours later .
We all have gathered to test the performance of our completed weapons, however . . . .
“Then, here I go!”
Ruli swings her sword at the target .
The target is neither the one used in school or a monster .
It’s a 10cm thick steel rod .
Contrasting that, the sword Ruli has in hand is just 5mm thick .
Ruli seems to be worried about it as she’s swinging the sword timidly .
And then–the steel rod got soundlessly cut .
“W-we’ve made a fearsome thing . . . . ”
Ruli sounded dumbfounded when she saw the blade that was completely free of nicks .
It wouldn’t have been possible with normal augment considering that thinness, so I made exclusive spell arts for it .
“You cut that with this sword . . . ? Is this multi-augmented too?”
“Yeah . That sword has eight kinds of magic augmented on it . It’s made of three boards with four magic on each board though . ”
“Eight kinds!? . . . For reference, what kind of magic?”
“It goes from 【Augment Magic for Ruli’s Sword Number 1】 to 【Augment Magic for Ruli’s Sword Number 8】 . This sword is unique, so I’ve made new augments exclusively for it . ”
I showed Alma one of the spell arts I made, the magic circle number 8 .
Because this was the first time I augmented a sword this thin .
General spell arts wouldn’t work well, so I made them myself .
But augmenting them proved to be difficult, as even Ruli who usually succeeded in one try had to redo three times before it took form .
“You made augment magic!? . . . How do I say this . . . . It’s really Mathi-kun . . . . ”
“Really Mathi-kun isn’t it . ”
Ruli agreed to Alma’s incomprehensible adjective(?) .
Why did my name become an adjective anyway .
” . . . . Hold on . If Ruli’s weapon is that powerful, that means my weapon is similar to it . . . ?”
Alma said that and looked at the bow she just got .
However, unfortunately she’s mistaken .
Ruli’s sword stresses importance on lightness and portability, and is ultimately a sub-weapon for self-defense .
Contrary to that, Alma’s bow is operated by both her and Ruli and the main long-distance firepower of our party .
Alma’s is overwhelmingly higher in term of attack power .
“Similar . . . it is not . Well, you’ll know if you try shooting with it . . . . Ah, be careful about the arrow line when you use it . Cause the flying distance is different from your usual arrows . ”
I said that as I gave an iron arrow exclusively made for Alma .
The arrow differs from common arrows in this world, it’s made from iron .
The feathers are quite small to decrease air resistance .
“Again, that’s one amazing looking arrow . . . . Then let me have a shoot . Where’s my target?”
“This . ”
I took out another steel rod .
However, unlike the one for Ruli, this rod is about 40cm thick .
“Then, here I go!”
Alma pulls the arrow .
“Ooh, it’s very light! Ei!”
The arrow that was shot along with that voice–pierced through the rod .
” . . . . Huh? Where’d the arrow go?”
“Over here . ”
I pull out the arrow that has been half-buried inside dungeon wall .
. . . The arrow that hit dungeon wall with enough force to break it already lost its shape though .
“I . . . It’s soo weird!? Can I really have this bow . . . ?”
“Of course . That’s the point of its creation . ”
By the way, Ruli only made the rough parts for this bow, I was the one who did the assembly and finishing .
Since the mechanism had to be quite complex for it to be this powerful .
If it’s a sword, Ruli can do everything but the flattening, but it’ll probably take some time before she can do a bow .
“Alright, then Iris is the last one . ”
“Yes! Which should be my target!?”
“I haven’t prepared a target for Iris . . . . Rather, it’s impossible . Just try it on that wall over there . ”
I pointed at the thickest wall nearby .
“I understand! Here I–”
“Hold it right there . ”
I stopped Iris who took up the spear .
And then I tell Ruli and Alma .
“You two, back away a bit . To around there . ”
I pointed 30 meter back .
“Y-yes!”
“Got it!”
Ruli and Alma ran to the place in a hurry .
Iris pierced the wall with her spear after confirming that .
The wall was blown away with a roaring sound .
The shockwave broke down a part of the ceiling, several monsters on the other side of the wall received the splinters and died .
” . . . . Ooh! I feel like I can swing around without worry with this spear!”
Yup . Looking good .
Of course, it’s incomparable to Gae Bolg thingy .
I probably can expect her to be a force to some extent in a fight against stronger demons and dragons with this .
–And then, several weeks after the weapon making .
Royal Capital Great Barrier Creation is finally coming to a close .
