16 Episode 14: The Tower Of Trials. How Do You Carry It In One Go? (3Rd Floor, First Part)
The third tier of the Tower of Trials. Five hours and 20 minutes left till sundown.
We stood right through the door.
The wind won't blow. There was a vast space in front of me. Larger space than the concert hall.
However, there were no floors. There is deep darkness everywhere. I don't see the bottom.
I tried dropping pebbles to try, but I didn't hear any hitting the bottom.
In that space, the floor, about 50 cm wide, stretches thinly.
The road continued as far as the door visible across the shore as it twisted like a snake.
There was about a metre of cylinder just beside the door, on which the green flame-lifting sweet potatoes were burning incessantly. It's called a burning fire.
It was thought that the flame was green because it was magic.
Second, I noticed the bandage on my father's hand and asked.
"Is the wound okay?
"Oh, no problem"
"Let's cure it magically just in case"
"You can even use healing magic! Wow, that's amazing."
Surprised father let go and just chanted "healing" and "detoxification".
Celica leaks a much more admirable exhalation as I look at the light emanating from my palm.
"I'm sure Kaika can do anything."
"Don't rely too much on me."
"Yes, on the contrary, I will try to help you."
"Well, while you're healing, read the letters on the pedestal of the fireworks."
"Okay."
Celica flipped her skirt and headed for the fireworks.
Looking back at Celica in a crouched position.
"Sakama Kaika:" Transfer the burning flame to the candle and proceed. If you do, the green door won't open. "
"Candles?"
"There were five on the back of a burning pedestal."
"Five... I guess that means use them all, not spares"
I stepped on a thin scaffold as I reached the darkest spaces.
Put your hands out on a hole with nothing.
Gow!
A gust of wind struck my hand and the hem of my Japanese clothes stirred.
Is it blowing from under the hole? No, I'm inhaling it magically.
"I see. Are you saying the fire will go out if you don't go over the thin scaffold"
I guess even flying in the sky will drag you down.
I thought.
This has to be carried fairly intensively. While we pay attention to our hands and feet, we naturally have to be alert to demons and traps.
- Are you losing your mental strength? Don't get your nerves brushed down.
Stand up with a thick candle whose celica is about 20 cm long.
"Now, Kaika, let's move on. I have five candles, what should I do?
I'll take it all.
"Yes!? But if a monster strikes..."
"Do this -" Floating Wind ""
Fluffy, a candle left Celica's hand.
All five of them drift fluffy while approaching the burning fire.
The green flame shifts.
Celica had blue eyes round.
"Kaika you are amazing. I've never seen such magic before."
"Right. Well, I guess so."
I had basic divine magic - a lot of magic I made myself besides magic.
How can you do that? - Because it's God.
But when I was on track, I suddenly lost my mind.
"Ugh."
Even if my legs flutter, I stay on my feet.
Celica screams in a clear voice.
"Kaika!?
"Hey, what's up, Kaika!
I was attacked by the feeling of my body losing its strength.
I saw a candle and a burning fire in the Truth Eye.
[Green Flame Fire] Line up this magical fire in front of the hierarchical door and you can go to the next floor.
[Candle of Magic Consumer] Consume the magic power of the user to keep the magic fire burning. Let go of your hand or when your magic runs out, you return to normal fire.
Shit, you mean that!
I saw my hand.

--------------------
MP's down!
I chanted a lot of magic, and it's not strange to lose about 10,000 because I still use The Eye of Truth, but it was still too much.
I left a bottle of Floating Wind to disarm.
Candles scattered across the floor in pieces. The candle that didn't disappear returned the flame to normal orange.
Without taking my eyes off the status, I consumed magic again.
to 530071. Consumption of 1133. 0.2% of the maximum value as a percentage.
We had five bottles at once, so we also lost 5666 of 1%. This should be tough.
Turned it off immediately.
Celica softens her long blonde hair and jumps over the candle and rushes over.
"Kaika, what's wrong!?
"This candle consumes magic. Besides, it probably seems to decrease in ratio."
"Ratio!? So you're saying that the more people with magic, the more they lose at once?
"Don't... try, Celica, have one and set it on fire"
"Yes."
When Celica picks up one at her sneaky fingertips, she heads to a burning fire on the stone pillar.
The green flame lights up immediately.
The magic power value is the least celica, it was 165.
Celica, me and my dad kept looking at the candle she held in front of her chest.
But watching it didn't quite reduce Celica's magic power.
I finally lost one after about three minutes.
- Is it still the ratio? 0.2% of 165 is 0.33.
0.2% less in one minute, reaching a figure that can be observed in three minutes, he said.
I give more instructions as I snort.
Next, Celica, light another candle with the candle fire in your hand.
"Huh...... Ah, yes!
He seemed to understand right away, and Celica transferred the green fire when she picked up the falling candle.
- But.
From the candle that transferred the candle fire, the orange ordinary light lit up.
"Wouldn't a candle fire turn green?"
"Too bad......"
Celica drops her thin shoulders and squeezes.
Says my father, who was watching.
"Kaika has a lot of magic, so you can't reduce it. There are five candles, so at first, two celicas, one for me. When we cross over, we go back again, and Celica and I light one fire at a time and carry it. Do we have to go back and forth?"
I watched the narrow path running like a snake in a large space.
"You can't. It's going to take an hour just one way. If we go back and forth, it'll take us three hours."
"So what are you going to do...?
Celica clouded her blue eyes worryingly, tilting her neck. Blonde shines glitter in the glow of greenery.
I grinned, twisting the edge of my mouth.
"Naturally, I'll finish it just once! You're wasting your time!
Next in strength is a dungeon that reduces concentration and magic.
He's been weakening his prey ever since, and he's definitely been killing it.
It was a really cunning and nasty idea.
- Keep going as the Demon King thinks!
Celica gave her a neat face.
"But how?
This is how it works.
I let go of my machete as I walked over to the fire with my big crotch.
"- Storm Blade Grant"
A storm blade hangs around the machete. And he wields a machete as he stills up with the truth eye.
Celica is opening her red lips to Pocahontas.
"Yeah?
"Oh, hey, Kaika, what are you going to do!?
"So hey!
Zuhhh!
I slammed the border between the burning pillars and the floor.
Crushed and leaning backfires.
When I delivered the machete quickly, I held a candlestick with both hands.
"Sort of heavy."
Lift the fire for hundreds of kilometers, including the pedestal.
And lifted it off the floor.
Surprised that Celica held her mouth with a smooth hand.
"Kaika! What are you doing?
"What are you going to do, Kaika! - No way!
I laughed loudly as I put the pedestal down once.
"If it's a hassle to go back and forth, you can carry the fireworks. Take a look at that. If it's pedestal to pedestal, you can move it, but it's still green."
"Hey, what an impotence..."
"Your ideas aren't people in a good way anymore. God or the devil level..."
The two of them smile, though frightened.
I unloaded the bag I was carrying and lifted it to carry the burning fire.
"I'm in the lead, and behind that, Dad. The big man is next. Celica, grab the candles and my baggage and follow me to the end."
"Okay."
"It's nice."
The preparation is over and everyone's face tightens.
"Come on, let's go!
As I carried the fire firmly, I set foot on a path that stretched thinly into space.
