Magicraft Meister Part 1

"Are they all ......?"

Jin couldn't believe his ears when he heard that all the demons present were dead.

"Yes. All of them."

On the other hand, Jaralus and Bahroosk, to whom the recovery medicine had been administered, seemed to have managed to get their heart rates back to normal, just as Belialus had done.

In other words, the three survivors are Belialdus, Jaralldos, and Bafrosk. All three are still unconscious.

Jin, Elsa, Anne, Reiko, and the old man wondered what had happened.

"It was a huge flash. But it wasn't an explosion, was it?"

.

The silver ball had released some kind of offensive magic, that much is certain.

What in the world is it?

The old man reports.

"What is it?"

<<<<

Aether Stampede.

It is said that 300 years ago, in the war of magic between the human race and the demon race, the outnumbered human race used this as a desperate measure.

While it destroyed most of the demons, it also inflicted tremendous damage on the human side.

In order to find a countermeasure, Jin has been searching for the lost forbidden spell.

"<> uses ......"

<>.

It is possible that the Negador-001 caused the conflict between the human race and the demon tribe, and in the end, took a large number of lives. Jin thought, "They could do it.

"Yes. But I never thought it would be used here. ......"

Jin's shoulders slump.

It was Reiko who approached him.

"Father, if your father had been there, there is a high possibility that he would have lost his life. I know it is inappropriate to say this, but I am very glad that your father was on Horai Island.

The old man adds

After hearing this, Erza, who was standing next to me, shivered, even though she was not even cold.

"Let's say it's the Aether Stampede. ......"

The person closest to her was Anne.

"Anne, can you explain what happened?"

"Yes, Your Highness. I can only give you an overview.

Then Ann began to explain.

I was looking at the situation through her eyes, so I had a general idea of what was going on.

"It seems that perhaps one or several of the radicals have been given a transfer marker."

I don't know if it was a variant of the <> or if they had it in their pockets, but in any case, they attacked us with the shifting marker.

This was just as the old man and Jin had imagined a little while ago.

Next, the appearance of "Aether Stampede".

"I couldn't grasp the details because of the barrier.

Anne then explained what had happened to her.

"First, the concentration of free magical element (ether) around me became abnormally thin. Next, I seemed to lose power, and I seem to have stopped moving.

However, since I stopped working, I don't know much about it.

>

Then the old man interrupted with a question.

"Yes, the mana tank is ...... almost empty.

"What?"

In this land of abundant free ether, the use of mana from the mana tank should not be a common occurrence. But this was not the case. So, .......

The old man was the first to come up with a hypothesis based on this situation.

"Okay. ...... I'd like to hear it from all of you if possible. Can you make an emergency call?"

.

Then the old man made an urgent call to all the members of . Even Mr. and Mrs. Reinhardt, who were the busiest people in the family, left their work and came to the office when they heard the reason.

Jin then used the few dozen minutes it took to get everyone together to bring Capricorn 1 closer to the site and dispatched nurses 1 and 2 to check for any survivors.

According to the report, the victims within 500 meters from the site were hopeless, but there were survivors at a greater distance.

There were more than 100 members of the clan, and as many as 80% of them lost their lives.

The 19 survivors were gathered in one place and given restorative medicine.

The results of their physical examination were also reported, further confirming the old man's hypothesis.

* * * *

, as the name implies, is a magic that makes the free magical element (ether) behave abnormally.

Jin, Erza, Meine, Saki, Toa, Stearina, Vivienne, Reinhardt, and Bertsch. In front of the gathered members of the Jin family, the old man began to explain his hypothesis.

<

First of all, we began with a review of the free magical element (ether) and the magical element (mana).

Since Meane and Vivian, who are not mages, were tilting their heads, the old man decided to use an even clearer analogy.

>.

This time, the old man seemed to understand somewhat and continued his story.

Saki seemed to like this analogy and nodded her head while listening.

>.

From this point on, it became difficult for Meane and Vivian, who had not mastered science.

Saki and Toa had studied a lot by reading the introductory book prepared by the old man and by asking questions to Jin, Elsa and Stearina, so they seemed to have a good understanding of what was going on.

<

Since Anne stopped because she ran out of free magic element (ether) and the mana tank in her body was almost empty, it seems that she assumed that she was deprived of magic element (mana) as well.

<

The ones who understood immediately were Jin, Erza, and Reinhardt. Saki, Toa, and Stearina understood it a little vaguely, but generally understood it. Bertsche, Vivian, and Meine were only vaguely convinced.

The old man concluded by saying that this was his hypothesis.

"I see. But we don't know how to cause an "ether stampede", do we?

It is quite possible that he will use "Aether Stampede" when he faces <> in the future.

To take countermeasures against it, it was the quickest way to know the principle.

"Can we take effective countermeasures based on the information we know now?"

But the old man replied that it was difficult.

<<

Even the barrier and the magic shield structure could not prevent it.

"...... is a difficult problem."

It is possible to decompose mana, but it is impossible for Jin to convert mana back to free magic element (ether).

As it was, even Reiko would not be able to move if she was hit by an "Aether Stampede".

"Hey Jin, if she can collect free magic element (ether) and turn it into magic element (mana), can't she do the opposite?"

Saki, who had been thinking in silence, advised Jin.

"That's for sure. ......"

I don't know how to do it, but I'm going to hypothesize that we can use a magic ray with a special wavelength and waveform.

If the strength of the special magic wave, which is the key to the generation, can be adjusted to limit the range, it would explain why those in the courtyard lost their lives and those who were far away had survivors.

After all, the "etheric stampede" that occurred during the Great Magic War was of such a scale that it claimed tens, if not hundreds of thousands of lives.

"In any case, it's just a hypothesis. ......"

At that moment, Jin recalled the 700672.

"When I asked you before what kind of technology had, you didn't mention the Aether Stampede, did you?"

"I guess you don't know about 700672 either."

It is hard to believe that he kept quiet on purpose. It is possible that he did not know about it either.

<> has developed its own magic.

A crazy doll with super technology from the past.

<

"Yes, indeed."

Jin of Horai Island renewed his determination not to let go unchecked.
