Chapter 93
"Little by little, little by little . . . "
While saying that--Iris began to pour an enormous amount of mana into the magic stone .
"Hold it right there! You've got the amount wrong!"
I tried to stop Iris in a hurry .
"So you really think this isn't enough! Let me put more!"
I'm not sure what Iris is thinking as she puts more mana instead .
"Don't add it! Lower it! I mean, just stop!"
"I-I understand!"
Iris finally stopped pouring her mana after I told her to .
Far more mana than planned has been pumped into the magic stone as it begins to emit black light .
The monster hasn't appeared yet because the amount of mana put is too much, it will take time to form it .
However, it's probably only for around 30 seconds at this situation .
I took an immediate action after guessing the size of the monster appearing from the magic stone .
"This floor will collapse! We're retreating!"
The monster that will appear is undoubtedly at a size this floor can't hold .
Thus, the moment it appears, either the ceiling or the floor will be destroyed and floor 17 will be unified with an adjacent floor .
"Got it!"
"Where should we head to?"
"Over here!"
Small rooms have a lot of parts that become a kind of pillars, so they're relatively stable .
Hence, I went into the smallest room nearby .
The other three followed after a bit .
"Ruli, engrave this and stick it on the wall!"
I gave Ruli a magic stone and a paper drawn with a magic circle .
"I got it!"
I also engrave the magic circle on another magic stone .
The augment is for a simple reinforcement magic .
This is enough to prevent the area around us from caving in .
After a bit, we could hear roaring sounds of the labyrinth wall collapsing .
Judging from the direction of the sound, it's the ceiling that collapsed .
"Hey Iris, I told you to put mana little by little didn't I?"
"Yes! That's why I did it little by little . . . "
"You can't call that little by little . "
She put a quantity of mana that worths as much as 100 average magicians in that short amount of time .
Moreover, she began to put more halfway through .
"R-really?"
"I'd like to know why you don't think it is instead . "
Even if her standard is out of whack, there is a limit to it .
I'm pretty sure that isn't 『Little by little』 even by dragon's standard .
"An old acquaintance said this, 『I'm gonna experiment a bit with some magic』 and went on to blow three mountains away . . . "
" . . . So you knew such an absurd fellow . "
"Yes . There was also this time when he summoned a monster stronger than the past me even though he said that he only wanted to see it for a bit . "
Please don't lump me together with someone who doesn't have a speck of common sense like that--huh?
Now that I think about, those all sound familiar somewhat .
Don't tell me . . .
『 . . . Are you talking about me?』
『Yes . It's Gaias-san in the past . 』
Iris replied back in dragon language when I asked her in it .
. . . Yup .
"Let's go and beat the monster for now . "
I'll fix Iris's common sense later .
