Chapter 365 - Episode Twelve - Three Great Weapons in Fage Territory (3)

“…… Hmm, I don’t think I can use it in its current state.”

I said while looking at the magic wave tower.

As the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl has been completed and the magic circle analysis of Levi’s spear has come to an end, I am concentrating on building the magic wave tower using multiple items as before, but this one will not be completed yet.

If we were only in a hurry to complete the magic wave tower, we wouldn’t have to go to this much trouble, but we want to complete its function as a weapon first.

At first, I thought the function as a weapon would be a bonus, but circumstances are circumstances.

That’s not the case anymore.

However, since we had crammed so much unnecessary theory into it, we honestly had no idea what would happen if we failed to operate it.

This has made it difficult to conduct trial runs, which has been a bottleneck in the development process.

There are many theories that have been hypothesized but have not been proven.

This is also the case with the alchemists division and Altamir, but if a mistake is discovered, it could lead to a major rework.

“Don’t you think …… it’s okay not to build this anymore? Kudor-san said she wasn’t going to leave everything to Abel too ……”

That’s what Mea, who’s looking at the Ortem beside me, says.

But although Kudor has a theory that it is related to Moebius, the founder of the Doom tribe, she does not know what Count Julem intends to do with Mea.

In the first place, she didn’t even seem to know how much of a threat it would be.

It’s possible that she knew and didn’t tell me.

If the balance between my cooperation and the threat of Mea tipped in Kudor’s mind, it’s easy to imagine that she would try to abandon Mea without mercy.

In order to deal with this, I need to keep my value high.

“No …… you think about it the other way around. Thinking about aiming, accuracy, and damage to the surroundings makes it difficult.”

“Abel ……?”

“If you ignore all that and just make a bomb that will go off and blow up the Dinrat Kingdom when the time comes, it won’t be too difficult to complete. ……? I’m sure that if I just hold the switch, Kudor will have no choice but to watch my every move.”

“Aren’t you thinking of something outrageous!?”

I stared at Mea’s face.

“What’s the matter, Abel? Did Mea say something strange? Isn’t Abel the one who’s blurting about erratic things.”

I haven’t told Mea about what …… Kudor told me yet.

I don’t know what to tell her.

In the meantime, I’ve told Peter to do some research on the Doom tribe.

I’ve done some quick research, but there’s not much information about the Doom tribe.

I’m sure there were some books written about them in the old books that the chief kept behind wards, but I couldn’t find anything of particular interest in the books circulating in the Fage territory or in Lark’s library.

I don’t know if it’s a secret or if there’s nothing to tell, but Peter’s connections may have something to offer.

“No …… I can’t say it well, but I think I need a little insurance. You remember how Kudor was going after Mea from the very beginning?”

“What? Oh …… But wasn’t that aimed not at Mea, but at Zolomonia’s staff that I carried?”

…… Indeed, it would have seemed that way for Mea.

Kudor was speaking in an ancient spirit language at the time, so Mea couldn’t understand a word he was saying.

“…… Even if that’s the case, it’s conceivable that he could re-target me or Mea for some other reason. Anyway, aside from the self-destruct mechanism, I need this. It’s the only way to keep Kudor from cutting me off. Besides, we don’t even know what Count Julem has in store for us.”

I nodded to myself as I looked at the magic wave tower.

To be honest, at the current rate, I have no idea how long it will take to fully fill in the holes in the theory and give it shape.

At worst, it might take five years.

There are many aspects that I have no idea how to fill out.

But this is absolutely necessary.

“Hmmm …… But, Mea don’t thinks that It’s necessary to go this far, thought ……”

Mea says so, but in reality, Kudor is dangerous.

When she fought me, she kept her magic down and only used tentacle attacks.

Even so, I couldn’t see any way to win.

“What kind of weapon is this, by the way?”

I jumped up and brought my face closer to Mea.

“Thank you for asking. To be honest, it’s hard to define it in terms of magic formulas and arrays letter, but I’ll give you a quick and simple explanation. It’s a weapon that creates a pseudo-five-dimensional space in the form of a beam, which twists the space within its range and ensures that the target is twisted and crushed.”

“Eh …… So-Somehow, it sounds amazing.”

“By magic formula, seven-tenths of the space that was in a straight line of passage will be transferred to the complex plane, but to be honest, I’m not quite sure how to define where it’s supposed to go. I think it’s safe to say she’ll probably disappear.”

“What’s that, so scary ……”

“It’s more of a beam of space than a beam …… but the deployment speed is in principle only zero seconds, so there should be no way to avoid it.”

The speed is perfect.

It’s impossible to avoid it after seeing it, unless you turn back time.

However, no matter how hard you try, the range is only about one round larger than the entire Dinrat kingdom, so I can’t use it if they escape from the country.

If you try to expand the range any further, you will lose control no matter how you try.

“However …… The only thing is that if something goes wrong, there’s a high possibility that the whole planet, not to mention this country, will be wiped out and a huge pit will be born in this universe, so I don’t want to use it.”

“As I thought, isn’t it better not to build it!? I don’t think it’s necessary to use it!”

Mea grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me.

Wait a minute, there’s something I haven’t explained yet.

“In case of emergency, it has the ability to search and target spirits with high magic power from within its range. I’ve already implemented this. But the main body is still incomplete, so it can’t shoot.”

“As I thought, Kudor-san’s is the only enemy as its target, right!? Isn’t it? Something happened, right, Abel!? Is there something you’re not telling Mea!?”

Mea shook my body.

“Wait a minute, I’m going to throw up! Ortem! I’m in control of an Ortem right now! It’s going to stop!”

“Oh ……”

Mea stopped moving her arms and looked up behind me with a tense expression.

I slowly turn around too.

Peter and Myunhi were standing side by side, staring at my back.

“Ah …… Peter-san, what can I do for you?”

“…… Peter-sama is here to make sure that Abel is not creating something strange.”

Myunhi replied on Peter’s behalf.

He was calm, but his anger toward me was palpable.

“Um …… This one is necessary, so …… Um, when did you start listening?”

“What are you thinking! Peter-sama may have said that he wanted to protect the world from Count Julem, but that doesn’t mean that he wants us to destroy the world first so that Count Julem can’t do anything about it! Rather, if you’re going to shoot something like this, it’s much better to let that monster do what he wants!”

He had heard most of what I had said.

“I know that! That’s why I’m really concerned about safety! I don’t want to accidentally destroy the world either! You should be able to understand it from my magic formula and the array notes!”

“Do you really think you’re the only one who can understand something like that!? Peter-sama, this is no good! Should we destroy everything and put him in a cell …… Peter-sama”

I also thought that Peter was quiet, but it seems that there is something wrong with him.

He was not only completely unresponsive, but he was also motionless.

Myunhi waved his hand in front of Peter’s mask and muttered with a serious expression.

“He’s passed out standing up ……”
