"Your menu is really a cheat huh."
"That so?"
Even though she's said that it's plain, it looks like the evaluation is getting better.
I think that you could do it with magic art anyway, and there are probably skills like, [Conceal Name], or [Alias] out there too.
Reflected on the radar, indicators that denote demons are suddenly rus.h.i.+ng out of the forest quickly.
Don't tell me, surprise attack?
I immediately make Remote Arrow to stand by.
"W, what."
"It's the demons, they're jumping out of the forest."
Hearing that word, Arisa readies her cane from the middle of the room.
No, looks like that's not it. The demons are not jumping out, but blown away by someone. As a proof, the split bodies (Splitters) are annihilated the moment they've gotten out of the forest.
The demon's real body who's gotten blown out of the forest is floating in the air while facing the forest.
I can't see it since it's too far, but it's probably floating with magic power. When I look hard at it, some skills become available. Might as well activate them.
>[Distant View Skill Acquired]
>[Bird's Eye Skill Acquired]
>[Seeing at a Distance Skill Acquired]
What's the difference between Distant View and Seeing at a Distance skills? Later when I ask Arisa, it seems that distant view lets you see far away things while they're still looking small, and Seeing at a Distance lets far away things look to be closer. Looks like the former narrows your view, while the latter let you see details in far away things.
"Uh, my magic could had reached it if it was closer."
I guess it's about 2 kilometers away.
"Won't it reach if you you use Over Boost?"
"Nope, nope, it would reach, but if it's that far, the power would be too thinned out."
A little idea hit me, I take out a bolt and a crossbow from the Item Box. About the crossbow, I tried dissembling it once to understand how it worked--since it was boring to rea.s.semble it back just like that--I remodeled it. Liza wasn't able to pull the bowstring since I went too far with the remodeling.
"Wait, if you're using normal arrow, even if it reach it won't deal significant damage you know?"
"Is it like that?"
I cut the bolt in half using the Troll Slayer dagger. I feel that Arisa would scold me if I casually use a holy sword for that, so I use this one instead.
I engrave the same pattern as holy sword on the remaining half of the bolt and pour the blue liquid that I've used to make the wooden holy sword. Since I've stored it in the Storage, it's still fresh.
After I've finished pouring the blue liquid, I put it on the magic bestowing stand and complete the process. It may be the result of me doing it once that I've done this far without even taking 30 seconds.
"You, you're making it as if you have production skill related cheat huh."
I put glue on the bolt and attach a thin piece of metal on it.
Alright, holy bolt is complete.
The cost is about 20% of holy sword. This might be more usable than that.
I put magic power into the Holy Bolt.
Since Arisa has had put 100 MP into the the holy sword just fine, first I'll put around 50 MP.
It's fine.
Continuing on, 100 MP.
The demon seemingly has noticed the light leaking from the window, it turns toward here.
In order to restrain it, I make the standing-by Remote Arrow to encircle it.
"Demons aren't something you can defeat with beginner cla.s.s magic."
"It's just for restraint."
Oh?
Even though I've said that it's for restraint to Arisa, the demon's health is gradually decreasing from the remote arrows that hit it. Looks like it doesn't have instantaneous recovery like No-Life King. It might be unexpectedly beatable with rapid firing of Remote Arrow.
When I put 200 MP into the Holy Bolt, it begins to shake. It's the same pattern like with Liza's spear. It would probably explode if I put more.
Now then, I wonder how much damage will it incur?
Since the restraining Remote Arrows are encircling the demon like a coc.o.o.n, the demon is already doing everything it could just to avoid the magic arrows.
I've decided on the aim, and shoot the holy bolt.
And then, several hundred meters away after the shooting, the holy bolt causes a small explosion--
"Aah."
"I guess it's impossible for a such hastily-made thing."
From there, it rapidly accelerates and flies.
Drawing blue tracks of light, it sucks up the demon--
"Huh?"
--It flies away beyond the empty sky while leaving several circles that looks like black mist.
It was too anticlimactic of an end, but since the log displayed, [Short Horn Demon is Defeated!], I did have properly defeated it.
I watch the black mist disappear while tapping the golden wooden holy sword that doesn't get its turn.
"Hey, what about the demon? Is it coming here?"
From Arisa's point of view, it only looked like a small explosion.
"I've beat it."
I clown around for a bit, but it doesn't fit my character. Arisa is befuddled. Good, it was really good that I didn't attach, "Tehee."
"Holy weapons really work well against demons huh."
I deceive her with a straight face.
"Wha!? This cheat guy~~ what about my turn~."
Arisa flops down on the carpet exhausted, but I won't say to her that, being a reincarnated person with unique skill that she is, we're the same kind.
The giants are dropping off a person who looks to be the young lady on top of the pa.s.sage of the city wall. I can't see the magic tool with the see-through skill called Raka-san or something. It probably could either becomes small or transparent.
I'm getting a hunch that this will be bothersome. I lead Arisa and the other away from this place quickly.
