Chapter 93 Strongest Sage, Laments the Collapse of Common Sense

"Little by little, little by little . . . "

While saying that–Iris began to pour an enormous amount of mana into the magic stone .

"Hold it right there! You've got the amount wrong!"

I tried to stop Iris in a hurry .

"So you really think this isn't enough! Let me put more!"

I'm not sure what Iris is thinking as she puts more mana instead .

"Don't add it! Lower it! I mean, just stop!"

"I-I understand!"

Iris finally stopped pouring her mana after I told her to .

However, it's too late .

Far more mana than planned has been pumped into the magic stone as it begins to emit black light .

The monster hasn't appeared yet because the amount of mana put is too much, it will take time to form it .

However, it's probably only for around 30 seconds at this situation .

I took an immediate action after guessing the size of the monster appearing from the magic stone .

"This floor will collapse! We're retreating!"

The monster that will appear is undoubtedly at a size this floor can't hold .

Thus, the moment it appears, either the ceiling or the floor will be destroyed and floor 17 will be unified with an adjacent floor .

"Got it!"

"Where should we head to?"

"Over here!"

Small rooms have a lot of parts that become a kind of pillars, so they're relatively stable .

Hence, I went into the smallest room nearby .

The other three followed after a bit .

"Ruli, engrave this and stick it on the wall!"

I gave Ruli a magic stone and a paper drawn with a magic circle .

"I got it!"

I also engrave the magic circle on another magic stone .

The augment is for a simple reinforcement magic .

This is enough to prevent the area around us from caving in .

After a bit, we could hear roaring sounds of the labyrinth wall collapsing .

Judging from the direction of the sound, it's the ceiling that collapsed .

"Hey Iris, I told you to put mana little by little didn't I?"

"Yes! That's why I did it little by little . . . "

"You can't call that little by little . "

She put a quantity of mana that worths as much as 100 average magicians in that short amount of time .

Moreover, she began to put more halfway through .

"R-really?"

"I'd like to know why you don't think it is instead . "

Even if her standard is out of whack, there is a limit to it .

I'm pretty sure that isn't 『Little by little』 even by dragon's standard .

"An old acquaintance said this, 『I'm gonna experiment a bit with some magic』 and went on to blow three mountains away . . . "

" . . . So you knew such an absurd fellow . "

"Yes . There was also this time when he summoned a monster stronger than the past me even though he said that he only wanted to see it for a bit . "

Please don't lump me together with someone who doesn't have a speck of common sense like that–huh?

Now that I think about, those all sound familiar somewhat .

Don't tell me . . .

『 . . . Are you talking about me?』

『Yes . It's Gaias-san in the past . 』

Iris replied back in dragon language when I asked her in it .

. . . Yup .

"Let's go and beat the monster for now . "

I'll fix Iris's common sense later .
