Chapter 861 – Battle of Vajra -15-

000

Unlike his cute appearance, he has a vicious and nervous personality.

Violent behavior worthy of crying.

And, a black tentacle growing from the back that has the mysterious power to penetrate Diora’s armor and Laila’s barrier.

All of that put together, Lila was able to notice that the guy saw them as the target of a hunt, and that he wouldn’t touch the guy unless he got close, with the intention of hunting the guy that jumped out first.

The room where the magic circle was spread out, and the room where the party was now, was not that large of a space.

Due to the nature of Lila’s fire magic, which is certain to cause explosions and ignition, if you fire high-power magic to take it down, even nearby allies could be affected.

Since I had used the incarnation magic a little while ago, I felt like I wanted to preserve my magic power before I could use it again because I didn’t know what kind of enemy would come after this.

Whether he knew it or not, the little witch was sitting with his legs bent and even yawning, as if he was asking me to come.

＂He really has a bad personality…＂

While Lila muttered that, she glanced at Mea, an official of the exiled church whom she had brought with her as a kind of insurance.

He said, that chimera is ‘Vivre’.

Originally, it is a mysterious magical beast classified as a type of sub-dragon species such as wyverns.

Since it is not often seen, there is quite a bit of related technology, but there are accounts that say it has a long body like a poisonous snake and the wings of a bat, while there are also stories that it takes the form of a beautiful girl with dragon scales –

No matter where I looked, her appearance, which looked like a cross between a furry rabbit, a canine, and a feline, did not match the characteristics of the Vuvre that I knew.

Is it because there is just one thing, this part, that it is called ‘buvre’? What I think is.

The guy’s eyes.

When I first saw it, I thought it was just a shiny red eye, but no matter where I looked, it looked like ‘ruby’.

Even in the Dictionary of Mysterious Beasts, which is used as a textbook at the Academy, there was a quite creepy description that Vuvre’s eyes were made of jewels and that they could be removed and put on.

The fact that the guy hadn’t blinked even once added to the persuasiveness of the description.

＂So Lila… Did you think of a way to deal with this guy?＂

When Diora, who had been hit on the back of her arm by her guy’s tentacle earlier, asks Lila vaguely, Lila remembers that, just like before, there is a method to exterminate Vuvre in the Dictionary of Mysterious Beasts. 〉

＂If that guy is really a Vuvre like this kid said, there is a way to get rid of it as written in the dictionary…＂

Lila knew that the method was quite cruel, so she glanced back at Selena.

Lila was a little worried about whether she, who was fascinated by Vuvre’s magic, would be able to calm down even after hearing this method.

“For now, moving forward is the priority. Any method, it would be a good idea to use it. Demonic beasts with obvious hostility must be subdued, regardless of their appearance.”

But such Laila is the right opinion among right opinions. When Demis persuaded her with a super correct argument, Laila nodded, thinking that it was as he said.

“That’s right, there’s no way back anyway. The method for exterminating Vuvre was included in the Dictionary of Mysterious Beasts…”

When Lila sighed for a moment after saying that, Dio remembered that he had seen a book with that name as a textbook for children, and thought it was safe for children, but-

“After pulling out the jewels that are the eyeballs of the guy and making him blind, we lure him into a place full of traps like thorns and blades and make him self-destruct.”

“… It’s much more cruel than I thought!?”

When she heard Lila speak, it was the exact opposite of what she had thought, so she was so surprised that she raised her voice without realizing it.

“Lila! How could you do such a violent thing to such a cute child!?”

And when Selena approached Lila with those words in her mouth and grabbed her by the arms, Lila could only scream and struggle to get away from her.

＂Geuak! Let go of this! “I knew it would be like this!”

“Selena, calm down! If we don’t move on from here, we won’t be able to stop the exiled church!”

Diora seemed to be trying to get Selena to come to her senses by keeping her away from Lila, but she was already under a charm spell that made it impossible for her to make rational decisions, so she struggled while being held in Diora’s hands.

The good news is that she doesn’t use magic against her colleagues.

Regarding Selena, Riomes asks Laila a question.

“But how do you pull out that kid’s eyes?”

“Umm… The dictionary says that since he shouldn’t get water in his eyes, when he goes in to drink water or take a bath, he pulls out his eyeballs and stores them in a safe place. Look, the eyes are made of ruby, right? Ruby is a gem with the magical power of fire, so when she touches water, she briefly loses her magic stone properties.”

＂There are many strange monsters in the world…＂

Even after Rio Mess listened to Layla’s explanation, she couldn’t tell whether the guy’s eyes were ruby ​​or garnet, but if that was Layla’s, then she must have been like that, and nodded her head with a sigh.

＂The problem is… The situation is not that good to force eyeballs to be pulled out that way. “I don’t think he’d gouge out his eyes and suddenly go for a drink when he clearly sees us as prey.”

“If you leave to go drink water in the first place, you can just leave in the meantime.”

When Lila nods her head again, as if Diora’s words are right, she speaks.

“That’s right. But since you knew its true identity is Vuvre, you also knew that its weaknesses are snow and water, right? Therefore. If he can aim directly at the guy’s eyes and pour water on him, he can somehow subdue this guy.”

The extermination methods in the book are only examples; it is the ability of the person reading it to come up with other methods using the information found there.

＂What should I ask the eyes of such a small and quick guy…＂

That’s the problem.

The part about where to get water and how to put it in the guy’s eyes.

The story would be different if she could use water attribute magic, but unfortunately, Lila is a magician whose attributes are completely opposite to the water attribute.

If it were a very simple, basic magic that created a weak stream of water, it could be used even at the expense of magical power, but it would be difficult to get it into the guy’s eyes by just creating water.

＂…＂

As a test, Lila focuses her magic on her own hand.

In order to convert the magical power of the fire attribute and the water attribute within the body, it was possible to go through the following concepts several times: flame, high temperature, summer, high humidity, humidity, moisture, and water.

If you think that the magic power required for each concept is about two to three times higher, then 2 to the power of 6 – that is, the magic power required to use the same level of magic is about 60 times that of fire magic. 〈 Br〉

The biggest reason for not being able to use water magic of a higher level was because it could not handle the consumption of such magical power.

In any case, through such a difficult process, enough water was created to fill the bowl made with both Lila’s hands.

The coldness that filled my hands, and the water that slowly leaked through the gaps between my hands and fingers, dripped from the backs of my hands and fell to the ground.

＂!＂

However, as soon as she saw the water, Little Buvre became very alarmed and immediately raised her tentacles to glare at Lila.

“… I guess it’s true that water is a weakness.”

However, after seeing the water created by Lila’s magic disappear shortly after, the guy said, as if laughing at Lila, and sat down once again in relief.

＂Hey, this guy…! They laughed at me!”

“Ji, calm down! The opponent is a magic beast that doesn’t even know what to say!”

This time, when Lila tried to go on a rampage in anger, Diora had to grab her arm to stop her.

Meanwhile, Riomes took a look at her situation and approached her lying down. He leaned down and asked her.

＂Hehe…! W-what are you, you bastard…! “Don’t come closer!”

“It’s been quiet since a while ago… Come to think of it, you said you saw that demon escape once?”

Rio Mes asked her in his calm voice without losing his smile, despite being called a ‘slut’ by Mea.

Is this really the girl who was jumping around naked in her ecstasy?

Even though Mea felt like her head was going crazy, she was nodding her head unconsciously at her words.

＂Well, then? Are you really going to ask me how to subdue that guy? What did that unlucky redhead say earlier? You can take advantage of the weak points of snow and water…”

＂Is that really all it is~?＂

When Rio Mes gets close to her face, as if she is hiding something, Mea moves behind her and talks.

“Well, that’s really it! In the first place, unlike guys like you who can’t use water magic, I used water magic freely when I had that staff! If I had been able to do my best, I would have overpowered him and skinned him by now!”

Mea refuses to cling to Riomes, but Riomes clings to her even more after hearing her story.

“Why are you so clingy! “I can’t do it now!”

“But~ Even if you were defeated by that guy, that magical beast was subdued, right~?”

At Rio Mes’s words, Mea flinched and trembled her shoulders and spoke to Rio Mes with her eyes wide open.

＂Uh, how did you do that…?＂

“Looking at your reaction. I can at least know that it wasn’t you who subdued that magical beast~ In that case. The fact that he was subdued by other means than your magic… Hehe, that’s a simple guess, right?”

As Riomes spoke, he placed a slender hand on Mea’s astonished thigh, and Mea felt goosebumps rising all over her body and tried to move back even further, but behind her was now a wall. Br〉

“Ego. Please answer ~ As time goes by without answering, your hand will gradually move up her thigh ~＂

＂Hey!? Okay! Because I got it! I’ll answer, so get away from me!!”

Mea eventually gave in to Riomes’ threats.

Then, with her eyes tightly closed, she lifted her finger and pointed at the ceiling of her room.

＂Tuesday, fire alarm!＂

When an unfamiliar word comes out of her mouth, her group, including Lila, turns to look at Mea.

＂Fire alarm~?＂

When Rio Mesa slowly raises her finger on her thigh, as if asking what it is, Mea is embarrassed and talking gibberish.

“This fortress is a relic of the primordial world! And most buildings in the primitive world were equipped with equipment to automatically extinguish fires in case of fire! The equipment is so advanced that savages like you can’t even imagine! In the room where we fought earlier, I turned off the sprinklers in advance… But if you get wet, squeeze it—”

Next moment.

Wow! When he thought he heard a sound, Mea curled up her body, letting out her scream once again.

As Mea continued to make noise, the ill-tempered Buvre got on her nerves and swung her whip at her again.

It was a reaction that seemed to indicate that she had been dealt quite harshly in the past, but this time too, her whip did not reach Mea.

So did you avoid it? It wasn’t even that-

＂Nu, sister!＂

It was because Riomes raised her hand and blocked her whip from coming at Mea.

Unlike Diora, who wore gauntlets, Riomes was completely bare-handed.

Naturally, she was bound to get worse wounds than her own, and considering that the red marks spread from her palms to the backs of her hands-

From there, blood began to flow out.

There was so much bleeding that it was surprising that her finger wasn’t cut off.

＂Oh my… This is why there is so much blood when she loses her virginity~＂

“Well, is it time to make such a bad joke!? Heal with potion!”

Lila was embarrassed by the wound on her Rio Mess and took out her healing potion that was left in her bag and handed it to her.

But before Riomes took it – she looked back at her Mea, smiling, holding up her bloody hand.

＂What happens if the fire alarm activates?＂

Riomes asking herself questions with her hands covered in blood must have been terrifying.

Mea hiccuped, and then she answered her.

“Boo, when it detects a fire, the sprinkler activates and water falls from the ceiling to extinguish the fire in the room… If that guy is agile, he will get out of the room before the water falls, but he can use it to increase his movement radius. I confined him, put him in a corner, and then caught him…”

＂Why the honorific…?＂

Lila was shocked to see that Mea’s attitude had calmed down, but then she thought that what she said was quite useful.

“That sprinkler will be useful… Everyone will get a little wet, but it’ll be okay, right?”

＂Wet…?＂

While everyone else was nodding, Rio Mes’ eyes sparkled at Laila’s words, and Laila let out a sigh as if she was fed up.

Meanwhile, Lila drew out her flame magic and created a small flame of magic on her own hand.

In a hand motion as if holding the end of a spark, Laila brings the tips of her index, middle, and thumb together in one place and places a flame on top of them.

＂Flame Circle!＂

Next moment.

As soon as she snapped her fingers, the flame fell to the ground.

The flames engulfed the entire room, instantly turning it into a fire scene.

Then-

Tiririririri!!!

A strong sound struck their ears, and everyone in the group had to cover their ears.

Buvre was relaxed as the fireworks unfolded, but when he heard that alarm sounding above his head, he stood up in panic.

And the next moment.

The valve on the ceiling burst open, and water started pouring out of it as if it were a shower.

＂Ahaha! It’s cold!”

When Diora raised her voice as if she was happy, a certain Sangabuvre came out of the room and was looking in this direction from the hallway.

“I really got out before the water ran out.”

Lila muttered as she felt her body getting wet, and the next firework was ready in her hands.

“Okay, so… If I go down the hallway and set fire to it, I don’t have to be bothered by that guy?”

“Making water with fire… It’s a novel strategy.”

When Demis said that with a serious expression, Mea became tearful and muttered.

＂These crazy pyromaniacs…＂

It wasn’t really wrong.
