I’m a D-Rank Adventurer, for Some Reason I Got Recruited Into a Hero Party, and Now the Princess Is Stalking Me - CH 13
Once he got done screaming, the skeleton pondered over something for a moment before looking like he had come to a conclusion.
「…..Haha, I see, so…… you’re equipped with the magic tool 《Gravity Magic Invalidation》, right? It’s a fairly advanced magic tool- the equivalent of an 《Ancient Relic》…!」
「No, I don’t have one.」
The only magic tool I’m equipped with right now is… just a wallet-type money storage magic too that’s in my pocket.
No, it’s actually really convenient. Even if you drop it and lose it, it will return to the owner. Thanks to that, there is no problem even if I drop my wallet. I can pickpocket the wallet of a guy who could try to pickpocket me. This is the best magic tool.
To be honest, I wouldn’t have to worry if I just put my things in my《Item Box》but….. It’s a hassle trying to take everything out.
My《Item Box 》is always thrown out of order, so it takes a long time to look for something. That’s why I always wear the wallet. I don’t have to spend time looking for stuff in it.
I also have the magic tool《Gravity Magic Invalidation》, but… I haven’t used it because I couldn’t find it after I put it in my 《Item Box》. What is this guy misunderstanding?
Kafes:「Fufufu…… I’m actually pretty strong. Actually, I was planning on turning every one of you into undead… Instead, I’ll just have you all die miserably― 《Black Flame of the Abyss
」
As the skeleton says so, he creates a black flame in the palm of his hand, which begins moving slowly. I don’t know what kind of magic it is, but it looks weak.
「What’s this? This―」
When I saw the blame flying slowly and looking fluffy, it seemed really weak so I decided to try knocking it down with my hand. But―.
! No, Jirei! Avoid it!!」
Wed, who had fallen down, shouted as if he knew something about the flame. …Eh? You want me to avoid it, even though it’s right in front of me.
I stand there, intending to knock it down. It’s still approaching me
―The moment I touched it, the Black Flame expanded and wrapped my body vigorously.
…… Ji, jilei……? Jireiii!!!」
~
What? You’re noisy.」
Wed was shouting at me as if I had just died, it was really noisy, I’m not careless enough to die.
Wed stared at me in disbelief. Everyone else was wearing the same shocked face as him.
…… Eh? No, you…… huh?」
I glanced at the black flame that enveloped my body and understood what Wed was trying to say.
I’m okay. Besides, I’ve endured a dragon’s breath before.」
Dragon……? Huh? No, Are you alive in the first place? In that state??」
Jirei:「I’m perfectly fine.」
Eeeh……?」
Wed’s face showed that he didn’t understand what I meant.
「I can’t see very well, this stuff is getting in the way!」
I grab the black flame, peel it off my body, and throw it down on the ground.…… Okay, now I can see better.
In the first place, it can’t be helped because it’s hot around this time of the year. I’m sweating a little. What should I do!
「I…… it’s impossible! My…… My《Black Flame of the Abyss
! You, do you have other magic tools that can negate spells!? How??!」
I’m not wearing one.」
You’re persistent.
Or rather, you can see that I’m not wearing such a thing anywhere. And you’re wearing ring-shaped magic tools and necklaces. It’s insanely annoying, and if this was a mage competition, you would be disqualified immediately.
「Well, then I’ll just use magic with other atributes! 《Calamity of the Water Dragon》! 《Karma’s Crushing Rock》!! 《Gale of Destruction》!!!」
The skeleton shoots magic spells one after another.
I knocked down 《Calamity of the Water Dragon》 with my hand, 《Karma’s Crushing Rock》 with my foot, and just sighed at《Gale of Destruction》.
He kept launching various types of magic, but all of them were easy enough to destroy with just my pinky finger. They were a lot weaker than expected.
「Hah…… hah…… W, what’s with this guy…………it can’t be helped. I didn’t want to resort to this.……」
The skeleton looked incredulously at me and began the next chant, his shoulders heaving with each breath. Apparently he was holding back. I’m a little excited.
「–Dweller of the Abyss, Dark Spirit Shi, the Reincarnation of Life and Death. “Yuri Vastork Kafes”, the Chosen One to serve the Demon King, ordered you――」
A magic circle appears at the foot of the skeleton, as he finishes chanting the first, second, and third verse.
Even though the spell hasn’t finished yet, the wind begins blowing, the birds fly away, and my skin begins crawling because of the enormous amount of magical power being conjured up.
「―Absolute Death to the living. Eternal Suffering to the dead. To the foolish and weak― Void and Demise. ―《Catastrophe of the Fallen― Eclipse》.」
Finally, he finished chanting. More than six verses required for Imperial-grade magic — seven verses would have been Divine-grade magic.
I’m ready for a torrent of magical power beyond my imagination. But―
「…………Huh?」
After a while, still nothing happened. I look around and see if there is any change.
But nothing changed and it was the same as before.……What is this, did the spell fail?
I began to think, 「Maybe that guy is trying to make fun of me?」
「….Ah.…Ahh….」
I heard a faint voice.
I looked back at Wed. His attention was on neither me or the skeleton but― the sky.
I also look up at the sky. There――
―-a dark, black ball of flame filled my vision.
