Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Strongest Sage, Analyzes Magic Circle

"Your worry is unfounded . . . The only thing that matters for sparring partners are strength . . . He's more than qualified being the one who defeated 『Composite Test Body No . 1』 . "

"That's true . . . It'd be a waste to crush a promising seeker of magic as a sparring partner in our experiments . I got it . I'll admit him as our experiments' sandbox . "

Looks like it went well .

Also, seems like they're underestimating me, but that's all the better .

Their first test body was crude--But it appears that these Anmorr brothers have quite the confidence on the next one .

The last one was [Composite Test Body No . 1] but the next one will be [Strengthened Test Body No . 1], so it's probably not a fusion of multiple people this time .

<TLN: Mistranslated in the last chapter . Corrected . >

. . . No clue what will come out, but we can't be too careful here .

These Anmorr brothers seem to be decently competent with magic techs, and they have the help of [Supranatural Art] on top of it, so there's a chance of a strong one coming out .

It might prove difficult to beat it alone like I did earlier .

『 . . . Girls, I may need your help in the battle next time, make sure you're ready . 』

『I understand!』

『Gotcha!』

The next test body is probably a magically remodeled body .

In that case, there's a chance we can nullify the alteration by having Alma shoot at it with a specific counter-spell .

It's impossible for humans to create [Supranatural Art] .

The only thing they can do is merely combining [Supranatural Art] brought by space monsters with magic .

Even if our opponent is employing [Supranatural Art], the part created by Anmorr Brothers will be nothing but magic .

It should be possible to counter that part with the right magic .

. . . Of course, these Anmorr brothers must have anticipated that as they create the spell art as well, thus we'll probably need a relatively complex counter magic .

Anmorr brothers spoke through comm magic as I thought that .

"Well then, we'll inform you location of the test site in 36 hour . Go make preparations . "

"Make sure you're in top condition you hear me! [Test Body Number 2] won't be able to show its strongest if you don't!"

They cut off the comm after saying that .

I picked up the fallen comm magic tool .

<TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka . com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel . >

" . . . That went well . "

"Too well maybe . . . Will it be really alright?"

"Of course we have to be careful since we'll be jumping right into their ring . . . They made this thing after all . "

I handed over the comm magic tool to Ruli .

Ruli stared at it seriously . . . And muttered .

"W-what a really complex magic circle . . . I can't read it at all . . . "

"Our opponents are most likely quite well versed in magic . . . And there's probably a Glory Crest user among them . Otherwise, they couldn't have created this . "

"Are you sure this doesn't have a bug function inside?"

Ruli is looking at the magic tool with a worried look .

Showing this kind of concerns with magic circles you can't read is only natural for augmenter mages .

However, Ruli's worry itself is just a needless anxiety .

"Nah, nothing like that . This magic circle is only used for concealing the source of transmission . "

" . . . Mathi-kun, you can read this magic circle?"

"Not only can I read it, I understand its functions as well . . . It's been made so that it can't be traced back though . "

Concealments that tell you the source of transmission just from knowing its structure are third rate .

Properly made transmission concealments cannot be traced back even if you know how they work .

. . . Well, I know about this magic circle even if I were unable to read it .

This comm magic tool is a type that was often used to communicate in secret in the past era .

Those who studied even a bit of secure communication in the past era would know about this magic tool .

Though this magic circle cost way too much to create due to its complexities, so in reality, a simpler cheaper magic circle was more widespread back then .
