I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1611 - A Reward for Lilia ④



Chapter 1611 - A Reward for Lilia ④

The subspace that Alice had prepared was an endless stretch of empty white ground.

[Alice, how did you prepare this space?]

[Eh? I created it. Putting aside if I’m gonna have to create something on the level of what World Creators create, if it’s just a temporary space, even I can easily create one of these.]

[I see, you’re also something like an omnipotent yourself……]

It seems that Alice created this space. For a moment, I wondered if this could also be described as creating a world but based on what Alice said, it seems like this space will disappear after a certain amount of time.

From my perspective, Alice also somewhat felt like an omnipotent being, but what she had done was apparently on a slightly different level from World Creation. Perhaps it’s similar to how each individual has varying levels of proficiency with Teleportation Magic.

The Evil God who created the world where Alice once resided was apparently weaker than the current Isis-san, which suggests that there might be significant factors beyond simple strength.

In any case, Lilia and Alice are facing each other in the subspace. I was a few distance away from them, within a barrier that Alice had put up, wearing the glasses that Shiro-san had given me and observing the battle.

No, rather than battle, the main subject today was the verification of Lilia-san’s Heart Tool.

[Well then, the stage is yours, Lilia-san.]

[Ah, yes. Awaken! The blade of my heart! Heaven-descending light in my heart———– Nourishing earth in my arms———– Trailblazers in my feet! Reach out! Unto the limits of possibilities! Manifest! Heavenly Sword———– Hauteclere!]

As Lilia-san chanted those powerful words, a beautifully decorated white and silver sword appeared in her hand. The sword feels more like a ceremonial sword than one you use in combat, but from the powerful magic power I can feel from it, it’s definitely Lilia-san’s Heart Tool.

[Then, let’s start by using its ability to deliver a straightforward strike…… Feel free to attack, I will not avoid it.]

[……Yes! I’m coming!]

In response to Alice’s words, Lilia-san charged forward and brandished her greatsword…… Up to that point, wearing my glasses, I was still able to see what was going on.

However, as for what happened after Lilia-san brandished her sword, well, I couldn’t see it at all. Before I knew it, Lilia-san had already swung down her greatsword, and Alice had caught it with one hand. Then, a little later, I heard the sound of the barrier surrounding me defending against what seemed to be the impact of their clash, accompanied by a roaring sound.

[……I see, it sure is a very powerful sword. Even if the opponent is one of the Six Kings, it has enough power to easily break through their defenses. Also, it seems that the effect is activated the moment you enter the attack stance.]

[Ah~~ Errr…… You stopped it so easily though.]

[Well, this attack is just a seriously normal strike. It isn’t imbued with any special effects like Causality Disruption or anything. Frankly speaking, if the other Six Kings realize that your attacks are just this level, they’ll just decide to receive it. At this point, it’s just a power modifier…… Count-ranks and above are essentially immortals, so unless you imbue your attacks with multitudes of enchantments like Recovery Obstruction, they’ll just regenerate the damage away.]

Even though she was praising the power of Lilia-san’s attack as being capable of inflicting damage even against the Six Kings, Alice caught it with one hand, and the expression on her face clearly showed that she was quite at ease.

[……I mean, even leaving that aside, doesn’t it seem like Alice got stronger?]

[Well, I’ve been training a lot recently, you know? To be honest, I’ve reached a point where I can have a good match against Kuro-san. And so, well, an attack of this level isn’t a problem. I did mention how Lilia-san’s current strike is at the limit of what she can achieve with her talent, but there are people in the world who surpass the limits of talent, and I am also an example of that. And so, if Lilia-san can go beyond the limits of her talent, she might be able to unleash even greater power. Well, she gotta train up to the limit of her talent first though.]

[How should I say this…… I’ve realized once again how amazing the Six Kings are.]

Come to think of it, Alice mentioned how she diligently trained herself to her limits, and it’s through the effects of Ἑκατόγχειρες Ultimate Battle Form that she’s currently growing beyond those limits, right? Well, even excluding all that, considering that she had exceeded the boundaries of what’s achievable for a human, she definitely is a being that goes beyond the limits of talent.

[This time’s for verification though, so let’s examine it through different patterns. If you learn to use it, you will be able to utilize its ability more effectively. If you can do that, you will be able to deal definite damage even against opponents on Six Kings level.]

[I understand. I’m in your care.]

[Yeah. Then, for the time being, use Space-Time Magic to reduce that ability’s cooldown. Let’s start with a light examination by going through “750 patterns”.]

[…………Eh?]

[After that, we’ll test the results under different conditions, but for the time being, let’s go with the base patterns first.]

[Ah, no, umm, a- as expected, I don’t have the magic power to use Time Manipulation 750 times……]

[We’ll have Fruits of the World Tree prepared, so it’ll be alright.]

Lilia-san, looking into the distance with a distant expression on her face, a hand pressing on her stomach, looks quite impressive…… but well, for the time being, since it seemed like they’re gonna take a while, would they mind if I read a book or something while waiting here?


<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Indeed, if it’s Alice, she’s definitely the type who would try to verify something with each of the possible patterns she could think in mind…… Guess they’re gonna take a while huh?]
