Volume 4 Chapter 8

According to Nanas.h.i.+ there were six senior greater demons with different colors that served under the Golden Wild Boar King, they were Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, and Black.

As for the greater demon itself, there are a lot of them that exist it seems.

"How did you deal with it?"

"I figured its characteristic after encountering it many times. It used 『Zamasu』 as its ending word. I could quickly distinguish if it was a mock body if we just talked for a bit."

.....Why didn't it just change the ending word.

The Ropo from back then talked normally, so it was not the same person huh.

"Then it's most likely a concealment type Unique Skill after all."

"Ichirou-nii's Unique Skill is enemy search type is it."

"Yeah, it's close to that. Once I marked someone, I know wherever they are even if they went to a different dimension."

"Hee, then does it know my current location?"

What is she saying when she's right in front of me.... Hikaru's luminous point disappears from the Radar.

Surprised, I open the map and check the marker column, Hikaru's marker denotes location unknown too.

"How about it?"

The moment Hikaru spoke, her marker reappeared on the Radar.

"The marker still existed, but the location became unknown."

Looks like she's satisfied with my answer, she nods proudly with crossed arms.

"As I thought. Ichirou-nii's search skill gets its information from the same resource as the a.n.a.lysis board that I made."

"a.n.a.lysis board, you mean Yamato Stone?"

"Looks like it's called that now.... Rather than that, it's about the resource."

According to Hikaru's explanation, there's a stream of Magic Essence created by the Dragon G.o.d--the so-called Dragon Vein--and, the thing that's flowing in that stream is not just Magic Essence, but also various information.

The information from Appraisal and Market Price/Estimation skills also come from this Dragon Vein.

"In other words, if you can stop the information from flowing into that Dragon Vein, you can isolate the information."

"....I see."

Recognition Inhibition type items work by circulating false information to that stream.

I understand the principle, but then I can't catch Ropo like this--

"However, it's difficult to maintain complete isolation you know. Your own magic power will be getting depleted terribly fast while you're isolating yourself from the flow of Magic Essence, and during that time, you can't even recover your magic power from outside~"

Looking at Hikaru's MP gauge, it's been decreased by about 30%.

If it's decreased that much in just that short time, maintaining it in a long period of time should be difficult even if the user's level is relatively high.

I can understand why Ropo didn't do the stealing himself.

I imitate Hikaru and try to isolate myself from the flow of Magic Essence.

....It's not going well.

Is it different from cutting off my presence?

Just like when I use hiding skills, I a.s.similate myself with the surrounding and furthermore, I project the opposite side of my body on the Magic Essence like optical camouflage--

>[Recognition Inhibition] Skill Acquired

>[Magic Essence Concealment] Skill Acquired

>[Magic Essence Camouflage] Skill Acquired

>[Optical Camouflage] Skill Acquired

>t.i.tle [One who Deludes All] Acquired

I got something slightly different too, but well, since it looks useful, there's no particular problem.

Now that I'm able to do it myself, I now understand the way to sniff out the camouflage.

"You're amazing Ichirou-nii. Is it a magic to make you disappear?"

"No, it seems to be an 『Optical Camouflage』 skill."

"It seems huh. You'd be a Jack all trades, Master of none if you waste your skill points you know?"

I tell Hikaru who's worried, "It's alright", and start to try getting the crucial skill.

I ask Hikaru to activate her camouflaging from Magic Essence skill.

Just like before, Hikaru's luminous point disappears from the Radar.

In order to increase my concentration, I cut OFF the menu indicators.

--Search for the oddness.

If there's none of it, then search for the blank s.p.a.ce.

If there's no blank s.p.a.ce, then search for the discrepancy.

As if looking at the dead point of my view, I stare hard at the thing that can't be seen....

....The fluctuation of information.

....The unnaturalness of the flow.

--I see it!

>[Oddness Detection] Skill Acquired

>[Magic Essence Distribution Perception] Skill Acquired

>[Anti Magic Essence Camouflage Detection] Skill Acquired

>t.i.tle [One who Sees Through All] Acquired

Alright!

Skills get.

Unfortunately, it seems the skills can't link well with the Map, but I can use them to detect within the Radar's range.

Now then, the preparation is complete.

I'll seize Ropo's tail when I get back to the Royal Capital!
