The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I'll Manage My Store Carefr

85. Ice Golem Battle ②

We were surrounded by ice pillars. Moreover, the broken ice column was regenerating again.

And even if we pull this out, the ice columns hanging from the ceiling are countless, and we know when to regenerate more. We don't know where the nucleus is in this cave, we don't know where it is. If we don't find a way out, it's our war of attrition.

"Well, I don't think I'm going to let you back off, so what do I do..."

Mark murmured with a bitter smile and a cold sweat from his forehead even though it was supposed to be cold.

Three of the vanguard men gathered at the one with the Golem, and I was one by the exit.

And it came down all at once!

The physical barrier will unfold 360 degrees to me and Lynn. But Marc and Letier, who don't have this ring, have ice wedges.

Mark spins Halvard with his spear in front of him and plays the descending ice pillars. But Letia is a sword. A considerable number of ice pillars were played by sword slashing, but one penetrated Letier's left shoulder. She squats on one knee.

Daisy!

Marc rushed to Letia and shouted at me as he pulled through the ice pillar. It's a little far!

I take out the potion bottle and open the lid. Pull out the contents...!

"Go, Potion!

The spherical potion I threw hit Retia and healed her injuries.

Thank God, Daisy.

Letia stood up and thanked.

... at that time, the words of Yulia Sensei, who taught me magic when I was at home, came to mind.

I think practicing magic will do you more good than you can use magic. If you learn to control magic well, it will also help you with alchemy. "

... and then I remembered the words Ana-san taught me.

Everyone knows about water. Lower temperatures cause ice to solidify, warmer temperatures cause water to melt and evaporate when heated by fire. This is the same thing with metal. I think it's just an image of a lump, but if it's hot, it melts, if it's hotter, it becomes steam. However, unlike water, the temperature is very high, so I'll use Magic .

Yes, magic and alchemy are the same "magic"! And in alchemy, "magic" produces heat.

Using an alcoholic kettle to melt metal is nothing, 'because it produces heat by mediating the alcoholic kettle'. It's a 'just pot' of special materials that can withstand the high heat of alchemy.

... so why don't you look at this cave as a 'big alcoholic pot' and melt the solid 'ice'? Alchemy Magic. Nothing, just because it's a fight, there's no rule against using alchemy. And when it's water, no matter where the nucleus is, it comes out with the water, right?

I smiled at the seemingly winning opportunity. And I can't believe that alchemy helps!

"Ice, melt!

It's because I can't use fire magic! I have Alchemy Magic!

Yes! This is an Alchemy. And there's ice in it. I remember that feeling when I melted the metal...!

Fill the entire cave with magic. The cave is wide. It feels like you're taking root magic all over the cave. Then, gently, the alcoholic pot... rises the temperature of the cave.

From the tip of countless ice columns, water droplets begin to pour. The surface of the frozen feet and walls melts and loosens.

The Golem in the cave attacked me with countless ice pillars, trying to disturb me, but it has no effect on me with the "Spirit King's Protective Ring".

... thank you! Spirit King!

"Wow...."

Marc murmured. With Letie and Lynn, she gazed at the melting ice. The high room temperature at which the ice melts and the moisture filled with water melt make everyone sweat.

Eventually, a magical formation of magical stones appeared in the center beneath the thinned ice floor.

"... this is it."

Letier, who noticed the magic team, stabbed the magic stone with a sword. The Magic Stone is shattered. Then, without my magic, the ice melted naturally, quickly turning into water and flowing out of the cave.

"Magic is almost empty."

I told everyone that I had exhausted my magic.

"I didn't mean to heat up the whole cave... if I get the 'good stuff' here, I'll take a break."

That's how Marc stroked my head to make my contribution.

A treasure chest appeared above the magic formation. And somehow a lot of yellow dwarves appeared in the wet cave. And Lilyn was staring at the back wall of the cave with the dwarves.

"I don't know if I can open the treasure chest..." What's she doing?

Mark leans his neck. Because from his point of view, Lynn would seem to be staring at the back of a cave with nothing on her own.

"Mineral extraction!

Lilyn said so, pointing his fingers at the wall of the cave, and the yellow dwarves raised their arms together. And the walls in the back of the cave shine golden, and sparkling particles emerge from one side of the wall, filling the universe.

"Mineral recrystallization!

Lynn shouts, and the dwarves point at a point in the universe. Then the sparkling particles gathered at one point, turned into an elliptical light blue jewel and fell on Lilyn's palm. Many dwarfs were gone.

Lynn turns to us and shows us the jewel, pinching it with her thumb and index finger.

Maybe it's a gem with ice attributes.

Let me see.

I walked by Lynn and stared at the jewel like a peek.

[Goddess Gems (Ice)]

Classification: Minerals and materials

Quality: high quality to premium

Rare: S

DETAILS: Gems with the Class' Ice '. The quality is further improved by mixing with other attribute series materials.

Feelings: It's okay to be alone, but it's a bit wasteful.

"Looks like there are other gems with different attributes. It seems that other attributes are more effective together."

"Well then, even if you use it for something, it seems better to collect something similar to this. So, mixing and improving the quality means maybe it's Daisy's alcohol?

Wow, when she murmured, Lilyn said, "Keep it," and gave me the jewel.

Well, I'll keep it in my atelier vault until we're done.

I put the jewelry I received in a pochette for the time being.

Let's open the chest ~

Marc called me, so we both ran toward the chest.

"I've never opened a treasure chest before! It's like an adventure!

I crouched beside Marc and waited excitedly to open it.

"You're a good kid."

Letia chuckled her hair.

Puffing your cheeks, the moment you say 'Open the Crate' is still thrilling.

By Marc's hand he made a loud noise and the treasure chest revealed its contents.

Inside, there was a clear stone with a big fist and a cloth bag.
