Evolution
Once the upgrades on the Ouranos were complete, I moved onto the development of a magic device that was capable of detecting objects from the sea to the sky.
To put it simply, it would be a reproduction of an electromagnetic radar that sends out electromagnetic waves and detects those said waves when it rebounds from hitting an object, but it is proving difficult.
Although not completely impossible, it didn’t feel like I would be able to create something that could understand radar waves emmisions and responses from objects mechanically. Hence why I decided to go with a magic device that amplifies Wind magic based detection. However, the speed of the wave-like emissions of magic power using the Wind attribute are overwhelmingly slow in comparison to the electromagnetic waves that were practically the speed of light.
「Hmm, radio waves are a kind of electromagnetic wave, right? ……it’s no use, I don’t get it.」
Since I don’t know the type of electromagnetic waves used by a radar, I settled on a form of emitting magic power that would be converted to a Lightning attribute before the spell activates, even though the speed falls short overwhelmingly.
However, it was still impossible for me to visualize the effect of the response. The best I can do was perceive it as an image in my head just like with Detection magic.
In the end, it was like an upgraded version of Detection magic.
「I would like a visual representation like with a radar though……」
Detection magic was simply an image that shows target monsters and obstacles within the user’s mind, so I wonder if it could be visualized in something like a monitor?
After a lot of repeat trial and error, the results of the detection were visualized by light attribute magic.
Kaede came bursting in while I was working alone in the workshop.
「Master! Master! Tsubaki! Tsubaki isー!」
「W-what’s going on!? What happened to Tsubaki!?」
What happened to Tsubaki? I unwittingly stood up and asked Kaede loudly.
「Tsubaki is finally evolving!」
「Ah, ahh………」
I fell back weakly into my seat. What a relief, it wasn’t anything bad……
「Master! Hurry, hurry! Tsubaki is waiting!」
「Okay, okay already.」
Kaede dragged me by the hand, rushing me with a “hurry, hurry”.
When I returned to the mansion, Tsubaki was there with a presence clearly different from before.
「……Oohh…… So cool.」
「Right, right?!」
『Thank you, Master.』
「Oh!? So you’re able to speak telepathically now! That’s great, Tsubaki!」
『Yes.』
Yes, when she had evolved from Drake Horse [1] to Dragon Horse, we thought she would become capable of telepathic communication, but another evolution was just impossible. Kaede did her best to cheer Tsubaki who felt down for quite some time.
「Your size didn’t change much huh…… still, your impressiveness feels like it grew quite a bit.」
「Yup! That’s her Dragon Energy!」
『I still can’t control it well. But I believe I will have it down pat soon.』
How much she grew was more to the degree of “Did she grow a bit bigger?”, but the air of intimidation she gave off definitely increased. Tsubaki said that that was the Dragon Energy that Dragon species possess to coerce others that was leaking out from her. This had already been the case so far, but now, weak monsters really wouldn’t dare to come near.
When I looked at Tsubaki who had evolved again, her protruding horn looked stronger and sharper. If something gets caught on that horn, they wouldn’t be able to avoid serious injury. The scales that covered her body were a deep green, but it was so dark it was nearing black. The impression I got from those scales were that they would repel anything.
There were some finer changes too, but the biggest change was her overwhelming presence.
Tsubaki’s evolved race was Great Dragon Horse. I should investigate it in the Adventurers Guild later.
「Master, Master, can I ride on and play with Tsubaki~?」
「Yeah, you can go outside the Sanctuary, but don’t scare the merchants and adventurers, okay?」
「Yup! I got it!」
Kaede jumped on Tsubaki and Kaede was able to hang on even when Tsubaki had no saddle, armor, or reins as they ran off.
Tsubaki’s all out running speed was amazing even before her evolution, but……… now it’s just out of this world.Footnotes:
