Chapter 6: Magic Sword Ice
[space_man][space_man]Eld followed Maclaine and arrived at a fairly large plaza.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”This is the training ground. It’s quite spacious.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld said while looking around.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Yes, since this town itself is new, we were able to build various things with a larger scale.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Yorane answered Eld’s words.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”The areas surrounded by white lines are combat spaces, and once a battle begins, they become impervious to magical and physical influences from both inside and outside.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”In other words, stray shots from battles and support fire from outside can’t penetrate?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”That’s correct. Therefore, it can also be used when you want to test magic.”
[space_man][space_man]Maclaine walked towards one of the multiple spaces.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hey, hurry up and get ready, Ice Flame!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld slowly walked into the combat space.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]He felt the air change slightly as he entered the combat space. It seems like some kind of magical curtain is indeed spread along the white lines.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”No matter what you do inside here, it won’t affect the outside. Even if I beat you to an inch of your life, as long as I don’t kill you, you can be treated by our excellent staff, so don’t worry.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Are they that skilled? I was worried about what would happen if I couldn’t control my strength since it’s been a while since I’ve had a one-on-one fight, so that’s good to hear.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Maclaine’s words were intended to provoke Eld, but Eld’s reply irritated Maclaine even more.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”A-are those with Titles that strong? More importantly, where’s the magic sword you’re supposed to have?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hmm? I have it, but can I use it?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Huh!? Nobody will acknowledge it if I win against you without using a magic sword! Hurry up and take it out!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld pondered for a moment at Maclaine’s words.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I’ll use it if you say it’s okay, but like I said earlier, it’s been a while since I’ve fought a person…… I don’t think I’ll kill you, but I won’t take responsibility if you end up needing to rest for a while.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hmph, I’m going up against a magic sword. I’m prepared for some minor injuries. In fact, I’ll take the magic sword from you and become 『Ice Flame』 myself, so don’t worry!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld wasn’t sure what he was supposed to be reassured about, but he accepted that he had Maclaine’s consent.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Alright. 『Open』”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]In response to Eld’s words, a rift appeared in the space to his left. This is a hole connected to a subspace, where you can store luggage and other items. It’s a spatial magic that any adventurer can use.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Although the activation spell varies from person to person, activating magic with a single word is a feat that can only be achieved by those born with a large amount of magic power.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld thrust his right arm into the rift and slowly pulled it out.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]What emerged was a sword with a pale blue blade. Its name is Tempera. It’s a magic sword that Eld found in a certain place in this territory shortly after becoming an adventurer.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”S-so that’s a magic sword……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Maclaine took a step back, intimidated by the aura of Tempera that Eld had drawn.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Yes, this is the magic sword Tempera. It’s been a while since I’ve taken it out, so I might not be able to control it well, but I definitely won’t kill you, so rest assured.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]As soon as Eld finished speaking, Maclaine started running towards him.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Seeing that, Eld took a stance with Tempera and slashed at Maclaine.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Maclaine anticipated being cut and quickly retreated, but the chest plate he was wearing was slightly cut. And he could see that the cut part was freezing.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”T-this is the power of a magic sword……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Maclaine had heard rumors, so he thought he knew Tempera’s abilities. But seeing it in action, he felt it was a far greater threat than he had imagined.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Maclaine distanced himself once and began chanting a magic spell.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Oh, you can use attack magic too. With that build, I thought you could only use physical enhancement or something.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]There is no unwritten rule that you shouldn’t attack during magic chanting, but Eld waited for Maclaine to finish chanting his spell.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Thanks for waiting so patiently! 『Fireball』!!”
