I see your code (219)
Anyway, it wasn’t a magic circle that worked to lighten up with those shiny stones.
I smashed the magic stone that was rolling in my hand. Then, the magical energy that was inside was absorbed by me.
Of course, it wasn’t a lot.
In the first place, one or two are not enough to even send a message, and if you use it right away like this, you lose a lot in the middle process.
However, those magic stones are scattered around now.
The number of rough cuts was over tens of thousands, so the Mana Stones must be roughly the same.
Anyway, when I went back to the front line, smashing everything I picked up, about half of the psychic power that had already been lost had been filled up.
Performance sure.
I shouted at the knights who still had their astonished faces
“Smash the magic stone! Then you will be able to absorb the energy inside!”
Even in the midst of confusion, some knights who heard my voice made puzzled faces.
“I don’t understand why the magic stone came out all of a sudden, but how on earth do you absorb the energy of the magic stone? You probably don’t know that when a manastone is broken or melted, the energy inside will also disappear.”
I thought such a question would come. Manastones can only be used on their own. Of course, according to common sense so far.
I replied with a grin.
“I think it would be faster to break it down and check it yourself than to explain it in words. I am also in battle.”
At my words, a member of the 1st Knights looked around. After checking the colleagues who were still fighting, Kwajik. He smashed the magic stone without hesitation. And with a surprised face, he shouted loudly.
“Gee, it’s true! My magic has been restored!”
After me and the members said the same thing, the eyes of the knights gradually began to change from disbelief to skepticism.
“… … Is it really that magic can be restored just by breaking the manastone?”
“Let’s do it once. After all, there are magic stones scattered here. I don’t think Rihanna will lie.”
crisp. Kwajik.
The sound of breaking stones that started like that soon filled the basement. There weren’t that many people who broke them, but that’s what happened when they smashed dozens of them at once with their astonished faces.
“Really! I think I broke about a hundred and recovered about 20% of my magic.”
“Even though physical and mental fatigue are different… … If this is the case, the combat durability will increase three times, right?”
“If you know so well, come and help me!”
They muttered silently, and quickly headed to the battlefield at the call of their comrades who were fighting.
Either way, he’s a veteran.
I laughed again at the sight.
In any case, their bulk offensive will not work at all. The attacks of mixed species will not consume us from now on, but will simply be one of the means of recovery.
With that in mind, the mixed races that until now looked like terrible monsters suddenly ran out of money… … No, it started to look like a mass of magic.
You can’t miss this looting opportunity. Unlike before, while attacking without sparing my soul, I picked up the mana stones that fell from time to time and put them inside Suba.
Anyway, just in case.
* * *
The site cleanup was done much faster when there was no need to conserve horsepower.
Everyone realized that, unlike before, recovering from physical and mental fatigue is more important than preventing the consumption of magic.
In fact, in preparation for such an atmosphere to come too soon, the magic circle was activated a little late on purpose.
The amount that can be recovered with Manastones is lower than the Mana used to kill them.
“Whew… … .”
Anyway, how long is this break?
I lay straight on the floor, lying flat on the floor, without taking care of my face or anything.
For the first time, recovering stamina was the top priority.
It is true that he recovers much faster than others thanks to ‘superman’ and ‘spiritual power’, but didn’t he fight much longer and fiercely than others?
If you don’t do this, your body won’t be able to stand it.
I closed my eyes for a while, and how long had it been?
I guess I fell asleep without realizing it. My body is as light as when I woke up from a good night’s sleep.
As he stretched and yawned, he noticed something strange in his eyes.
“… … What is he doing now?”
What caught my eye was the wall of corpses piled up at the entrance. It was already at a level that reached the ankle of a person, and it seemed like it had been doing that for quite some time.
I rubbed my forehead and stood up.
I know what you’re thinking. I know what you’re thinking… … . The problem is that one of them is useless anyway.
Anyway, I’m going to go dry it now. It’s not good to waste your stamina like that when you need a little more rest.
“What are you doing right now?”
When I approached the scene and asked, a knight saluted and answered.
“Oh, Rihanna. did you wake up? As you can see, we are building a barrier.”
“A corpse of a hybrid?”
“Mixed species… … First I’ve heard of it, but it sounds like an appropriate name. Anyway, yes. That’s right. Well, it won’t be that big of an effect, but it’s going to be time consuming, even for a little bit.”
Being a veteran sometimes becomes a problem in this way. You know what to do that you didn’t even have to do.
“You’d better quit right now. I just sit back and save some stamina.”
“yes? But Rihanna, even if you don’t really want to build a barrier, you need to clean up the corpses. If it builds up too much, it becomes a barrier to our movement.”
“… … I should have explained in advance. How long has it been since I fell asleep?”
The knight made a puzzled face at my words and pulled out a small pocket watch from his bosom. And after checking the time, he quietly opened his mouth.
“About six hours.”
“… … .”
It wasn’t just a nap. For some reason, my body was too sweet. This is almost a nap.
“In that amount of time, it will slowly disappear.”
“… … Are you going away?”
what is it corpses.
But I didn’t even need to explain it in words. This is because the bodies of mixed species that were piled up at the same time, as well as the fragments scattered here and there, turned into a sparkling light and floated into the air.
It’s such a beautiful sight that even those who were so disgusting can’t believe it.
The knight who saw him muttered in a surprised voice.
“Hey, what the hell is this… … .”
“It’s like the price of magic stone.”
I said as I watched the twinkling light disappear.
“As you may have already noticed, dead creatures leave behind magic stones. But it’s not without a price.”
“… … You mean that body?”
“Right.”
I nodded and continued.
“Is it necessary to convert all the remaining life energy… … . I don’t know the exact theory, but it’s probably a similar feeling.”
“… … Could it be the same for humans?”
The knight asked with a slightly stiff face.
That’s a sharp question. I’m not sure how far I’ve been thinking about this question.
In any case, there are no exceptions to creatures that turn into manastones, as he thought. Of course, that includes humans as well.
In fact, in Part 2, a human hunter who exploits this to hunt people appears.
It’s not like there are only good things about it, but… … .
“yes.”
At least for us right now, there is no such thing.
“So keep in mind that if you die here, you can’t get your body back.”
* * *
There were no signs that the Vanguard would come out as easily as expected. It’s been close to 10 hours since I killed the last hybrid, but the door just opened and didn’t move.
It wasn’t what the other party intended, but it made people quite relaxed. To the extent that we can even chat with each other.
“It’s too trivial for the monsters that drove mankind to the brink of extinction.”
At the sound of the wizard yawning, a priest turned to look at him. The two were close friends for a job.
“It’s just a reconnaissance team, isn’t it? But with that kind of power, from the outside, I would have easily crushed three or four cities.”
“Heh, yes, they are bugs. He might be stronger than an ogre, but he looked dumber than him. No matter how many people there are, will the human race go to extinction? We have something we have built up.”
The wizard, who had spoken up to that point, snorted once more and continued.
“After all, the opponent’s power has been overestimated. It was said that 500 years ago was a time when even a level 4 knight was almost treated as a hero, but that must have been true. If this happens, the liberation king may have to be re-evaluated, right?”
“Don’t say it like that. In any case, it is said that his contribution is more than 90% that mankind is still surviving.”
“It’s a problem because that 90% is the record I accumulated against those guys. If we come to the support of the three kingdoms like this, won’t we be able to invade the other world in reverse?”
“Why in a world infested with monsters like that?”
“So is he. ha ha ha!”
So they started flirting for a while after that. Aside from the war, the manastones that are created here are more important, carefree stories that say they are worth researching.
Ricardo, who had been listening to the words from afar as if the fight had already ended, sighed and shook his head.
‘This can never be all.’
He had an idea that almost came close to that belief.
Although he was the highest rank in the Empire, he did not know anything about ‘Moon’, but paradoxically, it was a belief that was created because of it.
‘If you thought it was a problem that only me or the 1st Knights could solve, His Majesty the Emperor would have told me first.’
But the Emperor of the Empire did not do so and chose silence. Even while conducting an unreasonable number of sending the 1st Knights to the eastern continent.
This is probably because they saw that they could not solve the problem.
‘Perhaps the real thing will be from next time.’
Ricardo thought so, so he could not let go of the tension until the end.
was that so
He was able to spot the sign of something coming out of the door before Rihanna could.
‘… … what?’
Unlike the reconnaissance squad, there were not many numbers. Because there were only three.
And if there’s any other difference… … Is it because it looks familiar?
Unlike the mixed species that looked like monsters at first glance, the opponent had a human-like appearance.
Anyway, the important thing is that no matter how you look at it, it didn’t look like a squad.
‘I don’t really feel that much magical power… … .’
It was a moment when Ricardo had even thought about it.
“Harm!”
An urgent voice rang out from somewhere. It was Ryan. With a white expression on his face, he was looking behind him instead of in front for some reason.

My body was ahead of me.Ricardo felt nothing, but immediately kicked in the direction of the wizard and priests.
But even that seems too late.
Suga Gak!
With the sound of meat being torn apart, the bodies of the wizards and priests were scattered like garbage in all directions.
The person who was in front of the ‘door’ until just a moment ago was obviously taking the place that is now empty… … . No, there were three ‘humanoid’ creatures.
The man in the middle looked curiously at the bloody surroundings, then opened his mouth with a grin.
“You were doing something fun. hey you How on earth did you dispose of the garbage you sent in first?”
