The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank - Chapter 64

Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: ”Ryunakama”

We head to Avancier’s church.

Though plain in appearance, today it once again was filled with people.

Masses that came to offer their prayers to the god…… Or so they would claim.

In fact, most adventurers came to take a look at the saintess.

As for that saintess herself, in other words, Nin, though I drop by the church occasionally, she seems to be sticking to working behind the scenes.

Several pillars are supporting the ceiling that looks like the inverted bottom of a ship.

Benches are installed on the left and right sides at even intervals. In the middle, a bit farther from the entrance stands a statue of the god.

The stained glass surrounding it created a beautiful pattern. Among them was also one that depicted a figure that is thought to belong to the god.

People are lining up to pray before the statue. A bishop is watching over the process. From time to time a nun would come and say something to the bishop.

A common church the likes of which can be found anywhere. But having been built just recently, it’s very neat and tidy.

The reason why they managed to build it so fast was that they had talented mages assisting in the construction.

But we didn’t come here to pray to this statue.

We came for the stone tablet installed in the courtyard.

When we asked a nearby nun about it, she immediately guided us to it.

Going through the corridor and entering the courtyard we saw a few adventurers there.

We take place at the end of the queue.

It will probably take around 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, I check Timeo’s certificate.

Timeo 1234 『Swordsmanship』『Wizard’s Secret Technique』

『Swordsmanship』is R, and 『Wizard’s Secret Technique』is SR rarity.

『Swordsmanship』is a skill that improved one’s prowess with a sword.

『Wizard’s Secret Technique』, if I remember correctly, is a skill that allows to use magic without preparation.

But it had some restrictions to its use. It depends on a person, but it should have a cooldown time between activations.

「……Timeo. How much combat experience do you have?」

「Well, a reasonable amount, a long time ago. But I spent more time practicing than in actual combat.」

「I see.」

It’s quite unusual for someone to have both swordsman and caster type skills.

That’s because doing both of those at the same time is said to be extremely difficult.

Mages have to focus on their spells when they are trying to use magic.

In that case, bad cases of tunnel vision are almost unavoidable. Even I, when I use some everyday utility magic, barely notice what is going on around me.

So there is almost no one fighting in the magic swordsman style.

Only occasionally, someone with skills to ensure they can keep a check on their surroundings would attempt it.

「Can you fight as a magic swordsman?」

「Well, that much, easily.」

……Amazing.
