Volume 5, Chapter 16 – The Long-awaited Transfer Equipment
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“Elisa, can you teach me how your transfer magic works?”
I told Elisa who was now in front of me.
For reasons unknown, I couldn’t use transfer magic whenever I enter the tower.
I thought it has something to do with Bell’s seal, but the person in question can freely move, of course, except for the outside.
Having said that, I couldn’t confirm if my hypothesis is correct due to the lack of comparison, because other than me, all the mages that came into this tower couldn’t use transfer magic.
Evelyn and Elise have the knowledge, but they either did not have enough skill or their capability was not good enough for them to use it.
Every mage has a strong and weak point after all……
In that moment where we were in a complete loss of what to do, Elisa suddenly invaded and even used the ‘disabled’ transfer magic that we have been racking our brains out on how to work, and even for consecutive times.
It was that time that I thought it was fate.
“To tell you the truth, I am really troubled right now because I couldn’t use transfer magic in this tower. Therefore, I want to know more about Elisa’s condition and why you were able to use it so easily”
Elisa was surprised by the sudden turn of events, but she responded immediately.
“E-even if you said that…… I only invoked the normal transfer magic as I did on the outside”
“What do you mean? Isn’t the magic itself the problem?”
The transfer magic I use is exactly the same as Elisa, so the amount of magic power and skills that I pour into it should not be a problem.
If that is the case, then there must be a physical problem or an external factor that influences the spell.
“Though it was only a possibility, what if only women can use the transfer magic……”
After all, the dungeon is a unique place where only women can enter. The possibility of gender restriction is not impossible at all.
But how will I confirm this?
“Evelyn, can you find any female who can use transfer magic at your side?”
“That would be difficult. Mages who can use transfer magic are precious, therefore they are always in some important missions. And even more so that it has to be a woman”
“I see, it can’t be helped then. I also want to avoid abusing your authority too much”
Even if you consider how much a person has contributed to the job, it was unavoidable to get dismissed if you were to overstep your boundaries.
For now, the gender issue is on hold. Let’s start again from the very beginning.
“Elisa, could you show me the equipment you were wearing when you entered here?”
“Okay, I’ll give them to you right away”
Elisa then spreads the equipment she wore on the table.
There were a few robes which were the standard equipment for mages, as well as some standard wands. Some of them are artifacts commonly used for supplementing magic.
Even a mage who can use magic on his or her own have their own weak areas, to supplement them, these artifacts were made to increase their workload.
After that were a dagger and various medicines that can be used as magic catalysts.
“The most suspicious in these are this wand, the staff, and the dagger”
All can be used as catalysts when using magic, and are great equipment if they could interfere with magic.
“Let’s try them one by one. Give us some space, please”
Everyone cleared up the desks and chairs in the living room to create us an open space.
Then, I picked up a wand from the table.
“I guess this will go first. Teleport!”
I activated the magic, but it didn’t do anything. It seems that this wand is unrelated.
“Next is this. Teleport!”
This time I grabbed the dagger and cast my magic, but it also gave the same response.
After sighing, I took out the staff.
This staff was the one that my grandmother used to seal Belle.
And the most likely to be the cause of the successful transfer magic.
“Last one. Teleport!”
When I used the transfer magic while feeling like praying, my field of vision suddenly became blurred.
The next moment, I had moved on the other side of the room where I could see where I was.
“I-I did it?”
I asked Belle, who was on my back until a while ago, but now she’s in front.
“Yep! It was properly executed. Gilles glowed and moved in a flash”
“Then it was a success. It’s a characteristic of the transfer magic to emit light. Let’s keep this around today, and make a detailed verification of it tomorrow.”
After that, we disbanded.
The next day, I went with Sarah and Elisa to analyze the staff and the cause of the transfer magic to be activated.
Everyone else has resumed to their own pace.
A few days later, we found out the cause, but we are groaning in the laboratory.
“No way, to think the magic formation to make the transfer magic to prevent the transfer magic was broken”
“And, Belle, who was originally the target of the interference of the transfer magic, became the free one, while the transfer magic of everyone else is hindered. I can’t believe it.”
“I was hoping that it would be a lot easier if we could teleport to the place which was sealed, but to think it has broken down just like that”
It is said that all things were not created perfect, but to think that grandma who has reached the highest peak of magic, has made a great mistake like this. I don’t know what’s going to happen to the world.
This staff was used when the magic barrier was created, and seems to serve as the “hall pass” that is not affected by the barrier.
For now, we have traced the cause, which is the malfunctioning of the tower’s barrier.
All that is left is to remodel the transfer magic to match the barrier, so I and Elisa can move freely, without the use of the staff.
“But it’s still not good enough that only three people can use transfer magic”
To make the tower more habitable, I have to consider ways to make the transfer magic readily available to everyone else, and also to the residents of our living quarters.
“What if you give each person a staff or wand with transfer magic?”
“Nope. There will be the danger of it being taken to the outside”
I rejected Belle’s proposal.
It may be even possible to send assassins to us if they were to possess it.
“Then, how about setting up an installation type?”
“That……might be good”
The image of an elevator in my previous world popped in my head.
“Okay, now that we have the idea, let’s get started”
We have set our objectives, so our actions will be swift.
Besides, there’s two Bain’s and a Demon Lord in here.
It would be an understatement to say that nothing is impossible with this dream team.
After a few days, the development of the said artifact advanced at a fast pace as expected, and after a week, the first teleportation device in human history that anyone can use was completed.
“Aaah~ I think I went a little bit too enthusiastic there”
“Onii-sama, you have pretty big dark circles under your eyes. Are you alright?”
“Hahaha, it’s true, you look funny!”
The three of us were up all night till dawn.
Was it because this is the first time in history that we created this, that’s why they are so tense right now?”
“Hehehe, let’s try it now, let’s try it!”
Belle was still energetic as ever, as expected of a Demon Lord. She even volunteered to do the trial run.
“No, I think I’ll pass. I’m already tired……”
“But we’re already ready! Let’s do it!”
“O, oi!”
My proposal to sleep was vetoed by the two, which was the majority of the team.
I had no choice but to head to the unused open space in one of the upper floors.
From there, a disk-shaped transfer device is installed at both ends of the open space, with a length of about a meter.
The first to test is, of course, Belle, who was already excited about it.
“Be careful, geez”
“I’ll be alright. Who do you think I am?”
That’s the reason I am anxious in the first place!
However, the other side still boarded it without any worry at all.
“Come on, start it already!”
But then, she stepped on the switch of the device under my feet.
“Ah, Idiot, oi!”
“Eh?”
Belle turned around on my warning, but it was too late.
The device that was stepped on by Belle’s monstrous force couldn’t withstand the impact and broke.
Whether it was the magic circuits that ran amok or the magic power was prematurely released, it resulted in a vortex, swallowing the floor where it was installed.
Belle, who was still on the transfer device fell along with it.
“Ii, Kyaaaaaaa!”
“BELLE!”
It was clear what would happen if you are swallowed by a vortex of magic that can shatter the floor of the tower, which my dragon could only leave a scratch.
But I didn’t think about that, and jumped out shortly as I caught Belle’s hand.
I won’t let you die from this!
At that moment, Belle seems to have noticed something, but I couldn’t care.
If we leave it as it is, then I’ll be swallowed together with her! I can’t let that happen!
“Guuuu………Uryaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
I immediately cast Gravity Control Magic that I usually use while descending the tower, and poured all my magic into it up to the limit.
The magic spell that adjusts the speed of fall by creating a wind supplied by magic was supplemented with power far greater than its specified, causing a violent blast.
I managed to get myself and Belle out of the danger as a result, but our momentum is too much and we crashed into the wall.
“Gufuuh, oi, are you okay?”
I asked Belle who’s in my arms while having light-headedness by the sudden loss of magic power.
However, once Belle saw my face one more time, I felt as if her gaze was penetrating to the depths of my soul.
“――-kun, is that you?”
I felt I was called by a name I thought I would never hear again.
The same name I haven’t heard more than two decades, the name that I shouldn’t ever possibly be called, the name that was not supposed to exist in this world.
The moment I heard it, upon confirming that Belle’s consciousness was clear now, my vision suddenly fell down.
“Are you two alright? Onii-sama……onii-sama!”
The last thing I heard is my sister’s scream, after that, my consciousness was cut off.
