Chapter 227 – Record Breaking (3)
Ego Weapon.
As the name suggests, a word that refers to a weapon that has an ego.
One might ask what kind of ego is in a weapon made to deal with enemies more efficiently.
Surprisingly, ego weapons are no longer fictional equipment found in fantasy novels.
Egos are actually embedded in so few weapons that you can’t even fill ten fingers.
Okay.
Even the Russian S-rank Hunter I imitated, Boris’s favorite Snow Bringer.
『The first time I felt it, I thought it was a pretty decent vessel… , If you look closely, it looks sloppy.”
A voice heard from the inside, not the outside.
Sharp criticism pours from the swordsman.
“That… , Excuse me.”
『What is it? 』
“I’m asking just in case, the identity… ?”
“If you already guessed, why ask? That’s what you thought.”
The harsh reply proved that my hypothesis was not wrong.
What dwells in the sword body is none other than the ‘Snow Bringer’.
The self that should have been in that faraway, cold land has left its body and returned here.
“… Is this possible?”
It’s funny even to say
The ego, which should have been contained in the main body, was contained in the sword body that was briefly shaped by magic.
If that’s possible, does that mean they could be nested in every imitation of the ego weapon that exists in the world?
『Do you think you can nest in a piece of trash that only looks good?』
“… “
Can Ego Weapon read minds?
『Because it is connected to the psyche, it is easy to read the thoughts expressed on the outside.』
“Uh, um.”
It’s a fairly unnerving ability.
No, this is the second one.
The Snow Bringer pondered over what he had just said.
“You can’t dwell on trash that only looks fancy… , That is.”
Does that mean that the Snow Bringer that I have implemented is something else besides the appearance?
『That’s correct, kid. Surprisingly, not only your appearance, but also the structure of the magic flowing through you, was similarly followed.”
… How do you do that?
“That’s funny. Why do you ask me after you did it?”
That’s right.
I also don’t understand at all.
I simply modeled it by thinking of the snow bringer’s exterior and the blade of cold air that poured out when I swung the sword, but I’ve definitely never looked into the internal structure.
『You seem to be thinking about something wrong.』
“… What?”
『In the first place, my strength is not something that can be copied just by trying to imitate it. If that was possible, the imitations of me would have radiated cold air like a dog or a cow.”
“Ah.”
Maybe I’ve been working with nonsense thoughts until now.
“Are you feeling better now? How absurd you have succeeded. “
The weapons I have implemented so far are Aegis and Snow Bringer.
Both of them are Ego Weapons, a treasure among treasures whose essence is different from ordinary weapons.
Why is a treasure a treasure?
Because the ability it has is unapproachable and special.
However, I realized the ability of such a treasure with magic.
“… How was that possible?”
I just thought it was something anyone could do.
However, as I mentioned once before, the more details are added to the form, the more time required to cast the magic increases exponentially, so it was only an appropriate compromise.
But it seems that was not the case.
Wizards are beings protected by allies in battle.
Casting time is 5 minutes… , No, even if it takes 10 minutes, if the power is outstanding, it should be used.
Party members will buy you the time to go there.
But not using…
“It was impossible in the first place.”
It was impossible to express the power of an ego weapon or an armament with special abilities through magic.
One question is resolved, and one question still remains.
But the question is, how did I implement this?
To this end, he asked for an answer from the Snow Bringer with a coy gaze, but the reply that came back was disappointing.
“Don’t try to ask me for an answer. I also came here because I was curious about how this could happen.”
Yes, but what can I do?
For now, I decided to stop worrying.
It doesn’t seem like it’s a question that can be resolved by just rolling one’s head in a dungeon.
Instead, let’s address other questions.
“Now, when I use magic, do you dwell every time?”
I was curious.
I am this magic… Every time I use something I don’t know whether to say or a technique, I wonder if it abandons its body and dwells on me.
“Not like that. This time, it’s the first time in my life, so I came here because I was curious, but I’m not diligent enough to go one by one. “
“… So, is this the end?”
If that’s the case, I’m sorry about something.
『As I said, in the current state, it is. If you get closer and closer to my body… , At that time, the kid will come to congratulate you.』
Is it okay to think that the level of perfection of the Snow Bringer that I implemented has increased every time he dwells?
Around the time I was immersed in the question of how I could raise the degree of perfection here.
Quick!
An ominous sound came from the grip.
Cracks began to go to the handle of the sword that supported the Snow Bringer.
It seems that time has run out.
“It’s time to say goodbye. I used a fairly good grip, but it’s still far from enough to fully withstand this body.”
Did you hear what he said?
Turned into a sword handle, Kkiseuli shakes her body.
It’s as if he’s protesting that he’ll be tougher next time.
『Kid, if you want to see me again, you’ll have to be stronger.』
That doesn’t exactly spark my interest.
The voice inside me belongs to a man.
Trying to be strong so I can hear his voice again isn’t what this life is about.
“Kukkk! You think I’m not good enough, then I’ll give you one more condition.”
“Condition?”
“If you surprise me with something far more accomplished than you are now, I’ll introduce you to the best beauty.
The best beauty.
“… How pretty is it?”
“I guarantee it’s at least three times prettier than you can imagine.』
“Call.”
“Call.”
“Three times prettier than you can imagine.”
That’s an offer no man could refuse.
The frozen sword rapidly melted, and the Snow Bringer’s egoic presence within it quickly dispersed as well.
“Goodbye, child.”
“Yes, you too. “
After the swordsman disappears without a trace, Blink returns to his original form.
He pats the limp creature on the back.
“Get some rest, Blink, and I’ll feed you plenty when we get home.”
Pole… Match.
After putting the guy who answered with a powerless jump, he woke up and went to the dungeon with the party members who returned to Salamandra’s body.
The dungeon was completed in 2 hours and 22 minutes, a whopping 36 minutes faster than the original 2 hours and 58 minutes.
With nothing but honor to show for it, this record will be a staircase, a sturdy staircase that will support my feet as I ascend to Class A.
Of course, one is not enough.
So I have a grand plan for this:
To finish the record of all dungeons in the future.
Won’t dozens of trophies, even the smallest ones, give me a boost?”
“Well, ego, let’s go to the next dungeon. .. ?”
“My dear, let’s go to the next dungeon… ?”
No, why does the same word come out twice?
No, why does the same word come out twice?
* * *
A quiet city covered in snow.
I was puzzled by the face of Boris, who was looking at it through the window.
“Ian… ?”
Ian.
The name given to his own weapon, Snow Bringer’s self.
Now his presence, which should be felt for granted, quickly disappeared.
Boris was puzzled.
It has never been before.
“…”
But he didn’t flinch.
I know that my presence has disappeared, but I know that I did not leave forever.
How do you know that?
Because he said.
Weapon and self.
If you lose your function on either side, you will not be able to use it anymore.
However, the snowbringer is still scattering the cold air in a specially produced screening.
‘That’s it.’
It’s not next to me right now, but he still exists.
What happened will be after you come back.
When I look at the snow -covered city with a more comfortable mind.
I started to feel intense presence from the sword that was wearing a waist dance.
“Ian… ?”
“Ah, it’s me. I’ve been to somewhere because there’s something fun for a while.”
“Is it fun?”
“Kek, I don’t know it yet. Is this fun or ridiculous?”
Boris shook his head in an unknown answer.
Snow Bringer, Ian said.
“You’ll know it gradually. I’ll introduce you to you when it’s not too far, so you don’t have to worry about it now.’
“… Okay?”
His words followed and looked out of her window.
A peaceful city where big snowflakes fall.
Boris is also a watchman to protect this place today.
Very cold, lonely.
