Yosh, Seira and I will take the lead. Sharon and Rokuna-san will be behind usand Ein, can I ask you to be vigilant in the rear?
Everyone nodded to Kains instructions.
The Aledona Forest wasnt at the level of the Great Jiol Forest, it was a fairly deep forest.
Rokunas group entered the Aledona Forest, then left the highway and went deeper into the forest.
So, what do you plan on going up against in this forest?
Erm, lets see, itd be the Elents. I want to try and increase the sighting reports of Earth Elents.
Elents were monsters that had no definite form.
It was easy to confuse them with the Mazoku Amoeba who similarly had undefined forms, but Elents werent Mazoku, but close to phenonons that magical power induced.
Magical power existed within nature as well, and sotis, sites where it was abnormally thick would occur.
It was an Elent when that magical power had gathered too much and resided in surrounding substancesthat is how it was described.
If it resided in earth, it was an Earth Elent.
If it resided in water, it was a Water Elent.
If it resided in wind, it was a Wind Elent.
If it resided in fire, it was a Fire Elent.
In addition to these fundantal forms, where were various forms and nas such as the Sand Elents that resided in the sands of the desert.
However, the act of absorption was a common trait for these Elents.
When they discover a living creature, they would try to take in its magical power.
It was unclear why they didnt absorb it from inorganic substances, but since Elents didnt have souls, wouldnt they be instinctively targeting living creatures with souls and be trying to obtain a soulthat sort of theory also existed.
Elents beco enlarged from absorbing the magical power of nearby living creatures, and since they greatly disturb the ecosystem, they are monsters that cannot be left alone.
Elents huh
While walking behind Kain and the others, Rokuna recalled the eastern region of the Dark Continent.
The vegetation raised there also stock up on magical power, and since they will start moving on their own once they cross over a certain degree of it, a phenonon similar to the Elent transformation as mankind calls it would occur, but they werent existences as troubleso as the Elents.
After thinking by so chance, the difference in soil might be related, she noticed that Sharon who was walking next to her was looking at her direction.
Nn? What?
E, ermIts about magic.
Ahh, about Elental Magic?
Being told that, Rokuna started to be troubled on how she should explain it.
Elental Magic was the standard magic used, and in cases where simply magic was said, it was typically recognized that Elental Magic was being talked about.
In addition, there was magic such as Summon Magic and the Mazokus Transfer Magic, but they were grouped as being rare or minor.
Furthermore, there was also Original Magic like the one that Fainell created, but in order to go that far, extraordinary talent was required to use it.
However, Elental Magic didnt need talent, and as long as there was a chant or a magic formation, it was more difficult to fail.
To say that that was her weak point, it made it seem like it was rely a problem with her magical power.
NnFrom what I can see, the problem is with your magical power itself.
Ah, yes. I was told that by soone who was a magical power examiner as well.
While holding a bit of interest in the words magical power examiner, Rokuna started thinking.
If there wasnt a problem with her magical power, there might be a problem with her imaginative power.
However, that should be able to be resolved with the chant.
You make the chant, right?
Ah, yes. But the result is small.
Hearing that, Rokuna rembered the story she heard from Vermudol.
It was said that Summon Magic couldnt be used by people with the talent for regular magicor so it seem.
UnFirst, I cant make a judgent unless I have you use Elental Magic. Why dont you try using Light Magic?
Ah, yes. ErmO light, gather and beco a radiance that illuminates the black of nightLight.
At the sa ti as Sharons chant, a light about the size of the tip of her pinky finger appeared in front of Sharon.
ErmI did it.
Un, you did.
While looking at the unreliable light that floated there, Rokuna started to ponder.
In the activation process just now, there wasnt any sort of problem.
However, the movent of magical power from inside of her body was mostly not carried out.
This was sothing that was normally impossible.
In a magics chant, just how much magical power would be usethat much was included in it as well.
Unless one purposely suppressed the magical power included in the chant, or if the magical power of the person in question was extrely lacking, the phenonon of there being almost no movent of magical power wouldnt occur.
Most likely, there was so sort of primary factor other than those that was obstructing the movent of magical power.
Nn. Lets think about it after I see the Summon Magic.
Ah, yes
Making a sidelong glance at Sharon who was visibly dejected, Rokuna developed her investigation even more.
If there was any primary factor that inhibited that, it couldnt be anything but Summon Magic.
However, is it really possible for special magic to be the primary factor that obstructs other magic?
I found it! An Earth Elent!
Hearing Seiras voice, Rokuna raised her head.
What was ahead of Kain and Seiras vision, both of whom had readied their weapons, was sothing that looked like a clump of dirt.
Its wriggling form reminded her of Amoeba.
Yosh, then its your turn. Can you do it?
Y, yes!
After readying her staff, Sharon comnced her chant while looking at the Earth Elent.
My fragile self implores.
Together with her chant, a light was lit in the blue jewel that was attached to her staff.
That was proof that magical power was moving to the staffs blue jewel through Sharons chant.
A large amount of magical power was smoothly flowing to the point that the ti that she used Elental Magic earlier couldnt even be compared to it.
I implore a sword. I implore an agent. Although my body is fragile, my heart is stern. My heart has beco a sword, and desires a ti to be wielded. Therefore, o agent, co forth. I implore that you be here to execute my will.
The Earth Elent repeated ly expanded and contracted as it tired to take in Kain and Seira, but they easily evaded it.
And then, a blue radiance appeared in front of Sharon, and started flickering.
That just now.
Rokuna noticed.
The blue radiance that appeared in front of Sharon just now, it wasnt Sharons magical power.
It was sothing different.
The magical power that was pulled out from Sharon was still dwelling within the blue jewel of Sharons staff.
That blue radiance in front of her had appeared from so different place.
Co forth, Sword Spirit!
Together with those words, all of the magical power was pulled out from within the staffs blue jewel, and the blue light that was flickering in front had converged and took the form of a person.
It was a gorgeous male swordsman that wore loose clothing.
He languidly readied the double-edged one-handed sword that he held in his hand, however, he didnt have a single opening.
His whole body uniformly shined blue, and it was clear that he wasnt a person.
He was soone, that carried the sword made with Sharons magical power.
That was without a doubt an agent, and the executioner of Sharons will to attack.
Seeing the Summon Magic in practice, Rokuna understood.
This, was different from existing magic.
What Sharon had produced with her magical power, was only that sword.
That soone who was called a Sword Spirit, was not an existence brought forth with magic.
Composed with extrely high density water magical power, the light of an unshakeable will could be felt.
After the Sword Spirit looked at Rokuna and sneered, he turned towards the Earth Elent.
That guyhe noticed my gaze
Leaving the surprised Rokuna as she was, the Sword Spirit ran in between Kain and Seira, and swung his sword.
Every ti the Earth Elent was cut up by the sword that shined blue, its body would lose its shape, and that part would return to being a re lump of earth.
If the sword that the Sword Spirit wielded were to be compared to sothing, it would probably be a Water Magic sword.
However, since that sword was actually water magical power itself, its might was probably on a different level.
I see, its strongPlus.
Having turned the Earth Elent back into lumps of earth, the Sword Spirit turned to Kain, expressed a smile as if he were making fun of him a bit, and even shrugged his shoulders.
[Illustration]
It has a terrible personality, doesnt it.
At the sa ti she was exasperated with the Sword Spirits attitude, Rokuna felt a shudder.
There was no mistaking itSummon Magic, was without a doubt magic that perford a summon.
The Sword Spirit emitted a radiance and vanished, and so magical power returned to within Sharon.
Seeing that, Rokuna ford a hypothesis.
The reason why the might of Sharons Elental Magic was low even though she had the magical power for it.
The reason why a large amount of magical power moved smoothly when she summons the Sword Spirit despite that.
And then, the phenonon of the reflux of magical power which was impossible in Elental Magic.
Sharon, this is a hypothesis but.
Eh, yes.
It was purely a hypothesis, but Rokuna thought that she wasnt off the mark by all that much.
The reason your Elental Magic is weak, is due to the Summon Magic.
Most likely, for the sake of calling sothing out through Summon Magic, Sharons magical power was being seized beforehand.
And since she had no choice but to use Elental Magic with that remaining magical power, its might would end up being weak no matter what she did.
Eh, ehh!? Then, my Elental Magic, will it remain being weak?
Only if you leave it as is.
It wasnt like there werent thods to fix it.
For example, if tools and magic formations that had the effect of amplifying magical power were to be used together with it, then it should be possible to raise the effect of her Elental Magic.
But unless they did sothing about the seized portion, it wouldnt be solved on the fundantal level.
Un. Sharon, were you bad with Elental Magic since before you could use Summon Magic?
I, I dont knowSince the first magic that I used in my life was Summon Magic.
Hn?
The question was was the seizure of magical power done by soone?
If Sharon herself had unconsciously done it, there was room for improvent.
However, if that thing called a Sword Spirit is doing it, it will probably be difficult to solve.
Can you call out other things?
Ah, y, yes!
I see, Ill be expecting sothing good.
After considering the seizure of magical power and the appearance of sothing that was summoned possessing a will of its own, it seed that there were a lot of risks to Summon Magic.
The fact that Rokuna was unable to perform a summoning until now, it might instead have been a good thing.
Up until now, she had conjectured that Summon Magic was sothing that made practical use of the theories behind Transmission Magic, but she now understood that it was completely different.
Since Sharon had shown no signs of making precise calculations in regards to the location like Transmission Magic did, it probably ans that calculations were unnecessary in Summon Magic.
Hey, lets go on to the next place.
Yes, lets. Lets move on quickly.
Hearing Seiras impatient-sounding voice, Rokuna said that and smiled.
