CH 31

I think I've managed to reach an acceptable state at reproducing Mana Blade.

I can use a sword as a conductor no problem, uses up a bit more mana though.

Well, wrapping my own body with mana consumes less and controls more stably though.

Imaging the mana to move like a chainsaw instead of vibrating blade raises its power to a remarkable level even though it doesn't cut as cleanly.

Or rather, the cutting may have a bit of lag than the real Skill-based Mana Blade, but my Pseudo Mana Blade slices up meat better.

By this point, it's more Mana Blade Mark 2 than 'Pseudo'. Fufufu. I've finally obtained a proper means to fight monsters.

"...Proper...?"

"...What's up with that reaction...?"

Alma is looking with a slightly twitchy face as I'm feeling content with Mana Blade Mark 2. Don't make that face now.

Mana Blade Mark 2 is invisible unlike the Skill version, so it must look like I'm slowly dicing up foes.

...Yup, gotta look weird to the spectators.

Swept by enthusiasm, I also tried other stuff like shaping my mana into a drill and making it spin to increase penetrative power.

Or turning mana into a stake shape and making it stab the instant it hits target, just like a Pile Bunker.

Drills and Pile Bunkers are men's romance after all.... Wait what am I saying?

"You'd better not use those on people. They'd probably die..."

"No, I won't do that of course. Maybe."

"Maybe...!?"

I might do if the other party come for our lives.

I'd do my best to hold back the power. I'm just gonna hope the opportunity never arises.

For now I'm done with my Mana Blade training. I'm probably gonna keep making up new techniques if I don't put a brake.
