“《Skywalk》”

I chanted 《SkyWalk》, and walked on the lake, moving to the barrier.

It was my first time seeing a barrier developed by others.

When I touched it with my hand, I felt a shock that made me feel numb.

“It seems to be better to not touch it carelessly”

[What is this barrier for? I don’t know what’s inside, but is there a way to break in?]

“It looks like it’s a barrier that denies entry from the outside. They even bothered to hide the barrier. It seems like it’s not so simple after all.”[Hmm. I can break this kind of barrier.]

Fafnir said so and spit out a blue flame.

It was the same attack he used while we fought.

However, the blue flame was withstood by the barrier.

[… I can’t break it]

Fafnir said sloppily.

That blue flame is quite powerful, but the barrier withstood that.

Undoubtedly, my intuition told me that something was fishy.

What on earth is inside the barrier?

This barrier is the only hint to find out why there are no fairies.

I have to find a way to break the barrier somehow.

……Hmm? Wait a moment.

After observing this barrier for a while, I noticed something.

“This is a barrier developed by ancient magic.”

Ancient magic is a magic that can be activated by combining ancient characters.

[How do you know that?]

Fafnir asked with interest.

“… I can’t explain it, but it’s definitely a barrier developed by ancient magic.”

Why did I find out that this barrier was developed by ancient magic?

It was difficult to verbalize it.

After all, until now I have naturally understood language as if it was breathing.

As long as ancient magic and the origin of ancient magic are languages, it makes sense for me to understand them.

“If Noah says so. Well, then it makes sense of how it managed to withstand my attack.

“Yup. It’s wonderful to develop such a detailed and high-strength barrier with ancient magic. “

“Really……. I don’t know anything. So what are you going to do now? We can’t move forward without breaking the barrier. “

“It’s all right. I came up with a solution. “

“Hou. You’re so reliable.

If this barrier is made by ancient magic, ancient characters should be written somewhere.

If I rewrite the ancient characters, I will be able to eliminate the effect of the barrier.

Where is it written?

To find out, I cast Magic Analysis.

The barrier was tinged with a large bluish-purple light.

It contains a tremendous amount of magical power.

Then, following the flow of magical power of the barrier, I found the source that was at the bottom of the lake.

“I’ll dive to the bottom of the lake”

[No, let me dive instead]

“But it is meaningless without me.”

“I have a technique we can use”

I smiled at Fafnir.

“《 Wind jacket》”

《Wind jacket》 is an ancient magic that covers myself with a wind barrier.

With this, I can breathe in the water.

In addition, 《SkyWalk》 can also be used underwater.

These two are really versatile ancient magic.

I then descend and dived into the lake.

In the water, the visibility was good to some extent due to the light of the barrier.

However, it is a deep lake.

The bottom is dark.

At the edge of my field of view, I caught an object that was rapidly swimming toward me.

When I turn my back, a big snake monster was charging at me.

…… I see, this guy is the guardian of the barrier.

The snake monster opened its big mouth and approached me.

I should be able to defeat it by releasing magic in its mouth, but judging that there seems to be no time to chant, I avoid the attack once.

It was okay to use the ancient magic without chanting, but using a third ancient magic without chanting while already using two ancient magics in parallel is a huge burden for the body.

Let’s observe the situation.

I observed the snake monster that was attacking me.

The monster turned out to be a sea serpent.

Sea serpents are powerful monsters commonly known as “Big sea snake”

However, their habitat is mainly in the ocean.

This is a freshwater lake, so they shouldn’t be able to survive here …

“Ku ku ku, stupid human! It was foolish of you to come to the lake controlled by dark spirit-sama”

This voice is probably the sea serpent’s.

It seems that he can talk like Fafnir.

This is the first time I’ve heard the voice of a monster other than Fafnir.

Is it possible to have a conversation with a monster with a certain level of intelligence?

“What is the darkness spirit?”

“… What!? How can you talk to me?”

The sea serpent stopped moving.

I also stop moving in the same way and talked to him face-to-face.

“Okay. For some reason, I can talk to monsters. “

“Hah, I have never heard of that before, but too bad you’re going to be eaten by me here and die!”

“……Is that so”

No, wait.

Certainly, sea serpents are A-class monsters.

In other words, it should be weaker than Fafnir.

So if I show him my ancient magic, he might be scared and lose his fighting spirit.

“Ittadakima—“

The sea serpent opened his big mouth and attacked at high speed.

“I won’t forgive you for that-《Magic Impact 》”

The magic that can be used underwater is limited.

However, if it is 《Magic Impact》 that gives an impact with magical power, it can be used without difficulty even underwater.

After all, magic power has the same level of transmission in both air and water.

Bonnn!

Waves broke out and the sea serpents flew away despite being underwater.

Donnn!

Hitting a wall, the sea serpent emerged on the surface of the water.

…… Maybe I put too much magical power into it?

I should have put in more than I did when I was fighting Fafnir …
