The Reincarnated Extra - Ch. 371
* * *
“Simulated Soul Mana Siphoning Device, Last Dream”.
Extra-sama, who said she’d explain the horror of it, started by saying that to me.
Eh?
But, Extra-sama, you said it earlier too, didn’t you?
That it ‘grants any wish’.
Then…
…?
…Hmm.
It’s a bit roundabout, but I get it now.
That green jewel is a device for ‘siphoning mana’.
So, that jester’s goal is… to siphon mana using Last Dream.
Come to think of it, he already said that his goal was ‘to plunder magical resources’.
But.
I don’t get it, Extra-sama.
How does Last Dream siphon mana?
Isn’t it giving mana to its user?
…That was before we left Trash Village.
I vaguely remember.
I don’t know.
Huh?
Wait!
Wait, wait, Extra-sama!
That’s too long and complicated!
In other words?
…!
Last Dream starts absorbing the surrounding ma-so!?
…Everything?
!?
If that happens…!!
…!!
…That’s bad.
…………
I was sweating profusely, half-heartedly listening to Extra-sama’s explanation.
Because.
Because.
Hey, Extra-sama.
Anyway, to summarize.
That monster.
Probably uses mana every time it fights, right?
Just by existing, destruction is approaching?
…It’s a bomb.
But we can’t escape?
…Hey, doesn’t that mean…
We’re screwed…?
“MIGYAH-BOBO-GOTOROU-JAEEN-MOOOOーーー!!”
With the monster casually letting out creepy screams in the corner of my vision, I stopped eating grass, dumbfounded.
The conversation between Extra-sama and me, stopped.
The heavy silence was crushing.
But Extra-sama.
Denied my despair-filled mutter.
And then, apologetically… but clearly.
She declared.
After listening to Extra-sama’s detailed explanation.
I understood and was convinced.
What I must do.
And why Extra-sama was apologetic.
I don’t like it.
But I have no choice but to do it.
There’s no other way.
The first thing I did, having made up my mind, was 【Presence Concealment】, which I’m not very good at.
Minimizing my presence as much as possible.
I started to secretly approach the giant green monster.
