Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Strongest Sage, Invites

"Swarm of monsters at the capital!? That'll be a catastrophe!"

"We've got to hurry back and evacuate everyone–"

"Hold it there . No need to panic . Its mana has fallen into disorder because of the explosion earlier, and the outbreak location has probably shifted 10 kilometer away from the capital . "

I calmed the two who fell into panic when they heard that the outbreak would be at the capital .

"But it's a large swarm of monsters isn't it!? 10 kilometers are virtually nothing! Even if we've put defense around the capital . . . . "

"It might be a swarm, but there won't be that many monsters . "

The number of monster appearing from this magic depends on the user's affinity with summoning type magic .

The outbreak magic this time wasn't performed by a strong demon or one with good affinity with summoning magic, thus the scale should be limited .

And I've added several damping on the seal magic I put on it .

" . . . Is it around 100 monsters?"

"No . That's too few . At the lowest . . . it'll be around 3000 . Well, just think that there will be 5000 dungeon floor 10-class monsters . And also a few bosses . "

"Floor 10, 5000! And what are bosses . . . . "

"A boss is like the master of a floor in a dungeon . Their strength differs on a case by case basis, but even the weakest one is floor 20 class . "

"And there will be several of that!? The capital is over! Things may be different if there are multiple Mathi-kun with us . . . . "

"Well, there might be only one boss though . "

Well, if there's one boss, that doesn't mean it'll be easy to beat .

Rather, if the mana that can be used to create multiple boss is concentrated on one, beating it will be exponentially more difficult .

"It still looks hopeless though . . . Mathi-kun, why are you so calm?"

"Don't tell me you can split yourselves!?"

"No, I can't do that but I know a way to deal with it . "

"Way to deal with it?"

"Yeah . The academy students will have to help, doing so will almost guarantee us to succeed in intercepting the monsters . Rather, it's a chance to collect lots of magic stones . "

The monster outbreak will probably happen after we've finished setting up the barrier .

Only the location of the outbreak has changed, the time of it happening is still the same .

"I don't think we can win even if we gather up all the students . . . . "

"That's true for the students as they are now . . . . But they won't stay that way . "

My barrier creation plan might look like it's just using the students as laborers, but in actuality, it's a highly effective method for training .

"I agree that everyone has become far stronger than they ever be ever since they learned through Mathi-kun's method . . . . But still, can they really win against 5000 floor 10 monsters?"

"They can . I will take care of the boss though . "

I get on Iris's back while saying that .

" . . . Normally this would have sounded absurd, but hearing it from Mathi-kun makes me feel that this will really work, it's so mysterious . . . . "

"I mean, Mathi-kun himself is a lump of absurdity . . . . "

"Well, we'll talk about it again after the barrier is complete . For now, let's go back to the capital!"

"Yes!"

We left for home as we conversed .

Iris speaks out along the way .

"Um, what should I from now on . . . . "

"Now that you mention it, I hadn't thought of it . "

Climbing Iris's mountain every time we need to go somewhere far sounds quite troublesome .

Having Iris close to us for its treatment is convenient for Iris too .

But, there would be a huge uproar for sure if Iris landed in the middle of the city . . . .

Right when I thought this far, I recalled a certain special magic that dragons have .

"Iris . If I'm not mistaken, dragons have a magic to turn themselves into a human right? Can you use that at present?"

"I've barely ever used it, but I should be able to! That magic barely uses up mana too!"

"Then you should stay in the capital while pretending to be human by using that . . . no wait . There's a better way to this . "

" . . . Better way?"

"Yeah . –Iris, won't you go to school?"
