6 Episode 6 "Escape The Royal City With Ancient Word Magic".Txt
When I woke up, it was still dark around me.
There was no ...... clock. I'm sleeping in a straw bed. Next to me is Cecil, wearing a collar. Okay, it's a different world.
...... It's kind of noisy.
Maybe that's why I woke up .......
The lodgings in the fantasy world are not so good at sound insulation. It's the first time I've heard of it.
The walls are brick, but the floor is wooden.
I can hear such things as "break down the door and step in at once", "they have a cheat skill", "they're asleep, so it's okay", "money grabber", "if you tie them up and make them sign a contract, they'll be safe for life" and so on.
"Cecil, wake up!
'...... Nagi? ...... ha.
Cecil woke up with a start and got down on his knees in front of me.
I'm sorry! You can't wake me up in the same bed as your master!
Get your stuff and get out of here. Let's get our stuff and get out of here.
Okay.
Cecil stands up quickly.
Long ears, it seems, are not foolish.
Cecil knows that the voices coming from the other side of the door are those of a slaver and a skill dealer.
The luggage was prepared yesterday as soon as we arrived at the inn.
They were going to leave the capital immediately today anyway.
''We're ready!
All right, come with me.
For now, I propped up a chair against the door and used it as a grabber, and Cecil and I moved closer to the wall.
The only window - a small one - is near the ceiling.
Cecil might be able to get out, but I can't.
"...... d*mn it, it won't open! He's noticed, you two!
The door rattled.
'Shit. Are you in the middle of the fun? You're letting your master turn you into a woman, Cecil!
'You haven't gone to ............ yet, have you? Mr. Nagi.
What do you mean, "not yet"?
Why are you giving me that twinkle in your eye? I don't plan on it! Maybe for now!
Poking around, I explore the wall.
A thin brick wall. It's a corner room, so the other side of it is outside.
I had checked the location before staying at the inn. As I recall, there's a tree on the street over here...
Sorry to disturb you. Sir.
The door was kicked open.
The people who came in were a small male slaver and a bespectacled skill man.
And a couple of big men with clubs.
'Excuse me for this morning. We are interested in the rare skill you have. We would like to buy your other skills if we could. What, I won't be rough with you. I would like to start a business with you, preferably with you in a 'contract'.......listen to me!
I don't want to be scared.
Okay, let's run.
I activate my skills against the wall.
"Structure slam!
bang
There was a hole in the brick wall.
'We're getting away, Cecil! Yes, Nagi-sama!
We climbed out of the hole.
I grabbed a branch from a street tree and said, "Holy shit. I could break it. No, it could be broken. Uh-oh. Uh-oh!
I'll catch you, Nagi-sama!
Cecil's off first, and he has his arms outstretched.
'You can't do that!'
Okay.
I let go of the branch. A few meters of vertical drop. The landing - my feet go numb, and my legs go numb. But...
I persevered.
The slavers are looking at me through the hole in the wall.
They might be able to get through that hole. But the big boys will never get through.
"Huh. "Huh. Come after me if you want to die. They'll put a hole in your body!
It's cool, Nagi-sama!
No, it's not possible.
Building Hard Strike LV 1: Powerful damage to the walls and interior of a room. Destruction Properties: "Brick" and "Wooden Wall
So, the anti-personnel destructive power is zero.
Let's go, Cecil!
I took Cecil's hand and started running through the pre-dawn town.
'd*mn it, it's persistent!
I don't know the land over here.
I was just summoned yesterday, and Cecil has been in the slavers' shop the whole time.
Your pursuers are the inhabitants of this town. They know all the main streets and alleys.
I thought I could escape to the narrow streets and they wouldn't find me, but I was pinned down in the opposite direction.
Two from the left, two from the right.
Surrounded by brick houses.
There are one or two houses with open doors.
There's no point in trying to escape. You'll end up cornered.
The "Building Strike Lv 1" can destroy the walls, but it can't damage the human body. ......
Cecil, come here for a minute.
Okay.
I pull Cecil's hand away and run into the building at hand.
And then.
"'Rapid Analysis'
Activate skills.
Fast Analysis is a 'quick' 'analysis' of 'surroundings'
Even if the area of effect is narrow, you can at least search for the guys chasing you right up there.
A window opened to overlap with the brick wall.
Big Man #1 and Big Man #2 - that's all I know.
As expected, it's impossible to know the status of an enemy you've never met before.
But I can tell the location of those guys from the movement of the window.
Ah, they're here. They're on the other side of the wall.
I timed it to the right time──say.
"'Building Slamming'!
through-and-through
There's a big hole in the brick wall.
The blown brick knocked down the men on the other side of the wall.
The men coming from the other side stopped moving.
'I warned you not to pursue them, didn't I?
With a grin, that one grinned at me and threatened me with a scowl.
Okay, come on, Cecil.
Nagi-sama!
We escaped from the alley while the men were freaking out.
We run towards the main street.
I knew you were hiding your power! I can't believe you're tearing down an entire building full of men!
I didn't knock it down. The building took it upon itself.
...... Huh?
'Building Clash' doesn't work for humans. It only blows up walls and furniture.
If there were humans at the end of the wall that was blown off, it has nothing to do with the skill.
I just tore down the wall. It's just an unfortunate accident that there were people on the other side of it.
...... Shall I use my magic?
No. I don't want to stand out.
I think you've made yourself conspicuous enough, Lady Nagi.
We were on the main street.
There's no traffic.
They're after us. They are really stubborn.
I don't want them to work all morning long!
I turned down the king's offer to live on low output," he said.
...... It's just a matter of time. Cecil.
Yes, Mr. Nagy.
You can use your magic. But I'll take the one with no killing power, the one with the quickest chanting, and the most humble and least powerful.
How about the magic of lights?
The lights.
It's still dim around here. You could temporarily blind them, then hide in the shadows.
And wait for the dawn to break. Okay, let's do that.
All right. Keep him at bay with the lamplight, Cecil.
Yes!
Cecil begins to chant.
"'We call forth the root that was in the beginning of this world. That creates all life and is the guide for all life. It drives away the night, devours the darkness, feeds the plants, and is the hope of all living things...'
...... Huh?
It is I, and I am I." "Why should I illuminate the world that is originally nothing? Why should I illuminate the world, which is essentially nothingness? It wavers, wavers, wavers. The wave that nurtures everything but cannot be touched. The dawn is announced, and it pours down from the heavens. It pours down from all the stars that fill the heavens. Give thanks, and all life shall be praised. Praise be to all life.
The chief chanting officer? I mean, isn't that 'light'? I thought you said this was the weakest magic.
Cecil, do you think you're using some kind of ancient chanting?
No way. How can the chanting get this long?
A slaver and a skill dealer and a big man come out of the alley.
I'm running with Cecil's hand, but they're catching up with me.
This is bad.... now that I've been blinded...
'I summon the elements of the sun wheel right here and now! Light (light)!''
The moment Cecil's chanting was completed.
The sun appeared in the royal city.
''Gyaaahhhhhh!''
There was a scream.
The men in pursuit of me are rolling around with their eyes held down - I think.
They're all swallowed up by the light, so I, who's outside of it, can't see them.
A huge sphere of light surrounds the main street of King's Landing and the houses around it.
Of course, it's not the sun itself that's here.
There is only sun-like light. If it weren't, the whole city would be vaporized.
Me and Cecil are unaffected by it.
I know there's light, but it's not glaring.
It seems the user of the spell and his master are protected.
But what's this? It's the lights, right? It's not attack magic, is it?
People are waking up and screaming. A dog is barking. An agitated horse is running around the street, unraveling its rope.
"...... Ancient language magic scares me.
Now I know why the demon race was destroyed.
''Ancient language magic, the power is too inflated.
''We did it! I fought them off with the weakest magic!
'Yeah ...... that's great, Cecil.'
Cecil strokes his head and looks happy, ehehehe.
Sorry. I've remade you into a cheat character.
''By the way, what's a normal 'Light(Light)' chant?'''
"'Spirit, light before me. Light'! sir.
A glowing sphere, about a meter in diameter, was born at Cecil's fingertips.
'...... That would have been fine,'
Nagi-sama gave me this new power, so I wanted to use it.
Cecil put his hands together in prayer and looked at me.
What's that look like a lost puppy that has found its master?
Did you do anything wrong with ......?
It's not a bad idea.
Yesterday, when Nagi came into me for the first time, I felt so fulfilled. ......
In a dreamy tone, Cecil said.
I was embarrassed to ...... be embarrassed, but I was happy to ...... be touched by Nagi in the deepest part of me and awaken me that I didn't even know. I'm not the same person as I was yesterday. I'm not the same person I was yesterday, and I can't go back to the time when I didn't know anything. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to find a way to get to the bottom of it,...... but I'm sure I'll be able to get to the bottom of it,...... and I'm sure I'll be able to get to the bottom of it. ...That's how I feel about ...... and I want Nagi to do it again. ......
Isn't that what your skill set is all about?
What are you talking about in the street, Cecil-san?
You can hear windows opening here and there.
The cheat "lights" that Cecil created are disappearing: ...... Not good.
Let's get out of here. Let's get away, Cecil!
Yes. With you, Nagi-sama, wherever you go.
We start to run.
Everyone was so distracted by the cheat 'lights' that no one seemed to see us.
Then we hide in the shadows until the gates open.
We escaped from the capital.
