Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi ~ Sokushi Mahou to Skill Copy no Choetsu Heal Volume 2 Chapter 15

Thanks for reading~

The execution of the villagers from my hometown is going to take place in the coliseum. I am planning to charge in just before the execution starts and save everyone, but there are multiple problems.

To start with, I have to break through the soldiers on guard but there's no problem with that. Unless there's someone with a cla.s.s as powerful as the【Sword Saint】, I should be able to win easily. The other one is that I have to break through the traps set up in the coliseum. Since the coliseum even shows fights against fellow monsters, they have set up mechanisms to the ring so the audience can watch it safely.

There are two mechanisms set up. The first one is that the gates which only number two are closed with thick, heavy walls of iron.

The other one is two magic barriers that are simultaneously working. Because a dome-shaped defensive barrier that doesn't let anyone escape from the inside is working, escaping is difficult. To forcibly burst through that barrier, firepower on the level of the gun hero or magic hero is necessary. What's troublesome is that this barrier is more annoying than the first. It's a barrier that uses weakening magic which sucks away both mana and stamina from living beings inside the ring. Furthermore, it's a nightmarish barrier that only continues to grow stronger with the mana it sucked up. Also, with the necklace for exclusive use, it's possible to escape from the weakening, so the soldiers on guard wouldn't get affected.

"On top of being trapped inside, my stamina and mana get sucked up, but there's no effect to the enemies. Even I might be killed without being able to do anything. But only if I don't do anything that is." (Kearuga)

I smile faintly. Late at night, I sneak in the coliseum to set up trick. If the barrier is troublesome, I just have to nullify it and there would be no problem. Instead, I can even utilize the barrier itself. Because I was thinking too deeply or something, my appearance was exposed to the guard.

"【Recovery Heal】" (Kearuga)

Using【Recovery Heal】, I read through his memories about the deployment of the guards and the times to alternate. Also…

"I see, so it's over there huh." (Kearuga)

I broadly grin. Although this time's objective was to tamper with the barrier, I'm not sure if I can even tamper with the barrier in the first place. The chance of me being able to do it is around fifty/fifty. That's how much of an out of norm thing this barrier that has been set up is. Therefore, it's necessary to steal the necklace that exempts the user of the weakening just in case.

The place the necklaces are being stored is the treasury southeast of the coliseum. I'm almost about to reach it. I need to be careful. From here on, I definitely should not fight even once.

If there was a dispute in front of the treasury, they would suspect that something has been stolen, and I don't want the enemy to know I have stolen a necklace. Although careful examinations inside the treasury would be regularly performed, I have proper counter-measures against it. I hit my pocket. Good, I haven't dropped it. Incidentally, my current status has been specialized for infiltration.

I can【Imitation Heal】other people's abilities, but it has the weakness of only being able to set five at a time. This time, I cancelled both【Ground Shrinker】, an ultra-high speed movement technique, and【Serene】, which puts the user into the utmost limits of concentration and can manipulate the time that person senses. Instead, I swapped them with【Presence Interruption】which is useful for espionage activities and【Investigation】which strengthens all the skills needed for a scout from start to end, whether it be lock-picking or sensing traps. While erasing my presence, I arrive at the treasury and create an instant key by melting the metal I had on hand with alchemy magic and hardening it after pouring it down the keyhole. Because a magic trap was set up, I carefully nullified it.

"I have finally arrived huh." (Kearuga)

Entering the treasury, I search for the evil warding necklace. It's a silver necklace that has a jewel similar to a red ruby. This is nostalgic. In the first world, princess Flare made me fight here as hara.s.sment. At that time, I was still a disabled person with drug addiction in a condition that can't even move well, so I was one-sidedly tormented and almost killed by the monsters in front of a huge audience. According to both Flare and Blade, the hero of the sword, I had asked for them to train the weak and useless me. Ahh, I feel sick just from thinking about it.

Although it was a terrible experience, I was able to learn of the barrier in the coliseum and the evil warding necklace thanks to it. I am grateful for that. I collect the evil warding necklace from the treasury and replace it with a fake I made from alchemy magic instead. Unless anyone has high-grade magic knowledge, they shouldn't be able to see through it. Well, I have prepared my insurance; guess I will move on to the actual performance.

The barrier consists of two factors. One is maintaining a source of power and the other is the design of the magic equation which depends on the position. Surprisingly, the coliseum's source of mana is the audience. (TL Note: Wasn't too sure about magic equation.術式)

It has a function of collecting mana from the audience. All humans unconsciously leak miniscule amounts of mana, but if that miniscule amount of mana from everyone was all gathered together, it becomes an amount you can't make fun of.

"This is unthinkable. Is this kind of thing even possible" (Kearuga)

The reason why I am surprised is because this kind of thing is impossible with our current technology. Utilizing the mana in the air is something even the army is researching. Not only the miniscule amount of mana that humans constantly leak, but also the colorless mana that couldn't convert when a magician is activating magic on the battlefield and drifts in the air. The bigger the scale of the battle, the magic in the air becomes denser to a bizarre amount. If that mana was converted to offensive magic, it would activate hero cla.s.s magic. However, I have never heard of anyone accomplis.h.i.+ng it.

"This coliseum itself is a legacy after all." (Kearuga)

A legacy. That's a general term for an item made with technique that evolved too much and can't be reproduced in this age. This town has prospered because people gather just to see the coliseum which is a legacy.

A countless number of people's techniques, knowledge and experience. The reason why I, who holds all of that, thought I might not be able to tamper with it is because this is an out of place artifact, so it can't be controlled by a human. Like an echo, I pour my mana into the barrier and confirm the barrier's magic equation. There's nothing I can do to meddle with the magic acc.u.mulating technique which is used for its power. In that case, what about the magic equation that constructs the barrier? I feel the corners of my mouth lift up.

"I see, so this part is a custom installation by humans. As expected, I can't tamper with the part which acc.u.mulates mana and converts it to power the barrier, but everything apart from those was added on later. If it's something a human made…" (Kearuga)

It comes to mind; the technique I already knew that made the format of this coliseum's magic equation into one that I can understand.

"There's no reason that I can't tamper with it." (Kearuga)

I put all my concentration into thinking and a.n.a.lyze the magic equation. Furthermore, I hypothesize the functions I need and imagine the final completed form. The problems and points of improvement; re-examination. Okay, I have made my design. Well, I guess I should start working.

I establish a back door that's for my personal use in the magic equation. I tamper with the barrier both physically and magically. Within 30 minutes, secret functions were added to this barrier.

With just one signal from me, this barrier should show a different face. I can't wait. To shut me in and suck my power, they will definitely activate the barrier while believing in their certain victory. As a result, they will fall to h.e.l.l. I wonder what kind of idiotic appearance they will show. Being unprepared because they believed in their certain victory, in the next moment, they will despair. Watching those kinds of humans is what I'm looking forward to the most.

"Well, I guess I should leave now." (Kearuga)

Since I have finished what I came for, I should promptly retreat. After adding a trick so they won't realize I tampered with the magic equation, I leave the coliseum. I properly prepared a trap for the pigs that put on the airs of a hunter to make them into a blood festival. I no longer have anything to do here.
