CCM 41 – Yo, The Fire Power is Quite Lacking Tho

---

As we made a grand escape from the guild, we found ourselves walking along the woods just around Rastal village.

.

–This place is called Nestol Forest.

.

According to Arturo, a magic enchanter resides in this place.

.

[Kyaaaaa!! Arios, do something about that nasty bug!]

[Oi, calm down.]

[Nooo! It’s really frightening!]

[Just what am I supposed to… Oi, don’t cling on me.]

[Bu…but!!]

[hey, i-it’s hitting me!]

.

We continue to walk while Rei can’t still help herself but scream.

It’s a bit unexpected but looks like Rei isn’t that good with bugs.

.

Now then…

Oh you see, a magic enchanter is basically as its name implies, someone who enhances things with magic.

.

For example, it is said that potions that temporarily increase one’s stats by drinking it are created by enchantment magic.

.

And right now, this particular enchanter that I’m about to visit is known to be at the top of the their field.

Known for creating lots of various tools and items while declining rich and hefty rewards in equivalent, it is said that the enchanter is living in this place in peace and retirement.

.

Her name is Remia Rias.

.

[I will make a letter of introduction for you just to be safe. The girl is a bit eccentric after all.]

.

For Arturo to react towards a person in such a way, that’s one quite hell of a girl.

.

…But to be honest, I’m really in a pinch here.

The jet black jewel that I have obtained from the members of the Saviors’ of Arceus can’t just be easily analyzed unless one’s a skilled enchanter. 

.

[Fo-for someone to take residence in such a weird place…. That Remia must not be a decent person at all.]

[Hey, don’t talk bad about people you don’t know about like that…]

.

It’s just that the matter regarding the jet black jewel has to be settled immediately.

.

There’s no assurance but there’s still chances that this stone might go haywire and call whitewolves out of the blue. Still, while talking with each other like this, we finally saw a house standing alone in the middle of the green lush. A house contrary to its natural surroundings of trees and vegetation as it is constructed with steel and iron.

.

–Still, calling it a laboratory instead isn’t that far-fetched either.

.

It is said that despite Remia leaving the busy life in the city, she didn’t stop developing items and tools. I am relatively curious what she is working about but… I just can’t get the exasperated sigh Arturo did out my mind.

.

[Ha…]

.

I took a deep breath and brace myself as I knock on the doo-

.

<[So you have arrived, the previous successor of the sword saint. I have heard of you from Arturo.]> (TL Note: Mechanical voice)

[Eh…?]

.

Rei’s eyes widen as she immediately looks around at our surroundings in astonishment.

.

But that’s just futile.

I don’t feel any presence of even a single person around.

I have a hunch but — we are probably being monitored right now with some sort of magic item and are actually talking with someone from a distance.

.

[Oh, it seems you aren’t a least bit surprised, previous successor. How can you remain calm after seeing this spectacle?]

[Well… This kind of thing is within my expectations, I guess.]

[Keke. Interesting. This is what makes experiments worthwhile.]

[Experiment…]

.

As I muttered that single word —

.

[-!…]

.

My survival instincts kicked in as I immediately took out my sword Leveti and prepared myself for battle.

.

<[Nuoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!]>

.

Then, a horrendous scream resounded all over our surroundings.

At that moment, a giant armor came out from the side of the house made of steel and walked towards us. What’s more scary about it is I don’t feel any presence of anyone inside the lump piece of metal.

.

[Wh-what is that!]

.

Due to it, Rei is now starting to panic.

.

[Err… yeah, I have to say now that this one is surprising.]

.

I haven’t seen a monster of this kind before.

.

It’s just a hunch but — it’s probably one of the magic tools Remia had created.

.

[Guuooooooooooooooooooaaa!!!!]

.

The huge armor screams once again as it raises its sword at the top of its head.

This guy seems it’s raring to go.

.

–Then be it.

Since you dare to conduct an experiment with me, don’t blame me for doing the same with you.

.

[Skill Activate… Cheat Code Manipulation.]

.

.

————

List of currently available cheat codes:

– Attack Powers Up (Low)

– Fire Attribute Magic – All Use

– Visualization of Target’s Physical Abilities

–  Rewriting of Target’s Attack Powers (Low)

———–

Ofcourse the ability I will use would be this, <Rewriting of Target’s Attack Powers (Low)>

.

I’ve been itching to try this ability and how lucky I really am to immediately get the opportunity.

.

And when the ability activated, a strange sequence of characters appeared in my vision. It is located at the top of the head of the giant armor.

.

――――――

9C82G1T4 8A57E838

9C82G1T8 2483xxxx

Would you like to proceed on manipulating the code? 

――――――

.

I said yes inside my head without the slightest bit of hesitation.

Then, a different string of characters appeared in my sight.

.

――――――

Please select a code of your choice from below.

CF65 (double)

CF25 (quadruple)

CD87 (1/2)

CD64 (1/4)

――――――

The heck.

As its name suggests… This ability can really rewrite a target’s attack power.

.

What’s more, I can choose whether to raise it or to lower it.

.

[Code activate… CD64]

.

For the meantime, let’s choose to lower the armor’s attack power to ¼ option. It’s the most optimal choice for my current predicament afterall.

.

[Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!]

.

The giant armor that just got a debuff hammers down it’s sword with a huge swing.

.

<[Hahahaha! How do you like that! I have empowered this giant’s power to the very limi-, huh, huuuh?]>

.

Remia’s tone at the end became dumbfounded.

.

I mean, the giant armor’s sword has been easily received by yours truly after all.
