Chapter 14 Tower of Trial  Carrying it Once is? (Third Floor First Part)  

The third floor of the Tower of Trial. Five hours and 20 minutes remaining until sunset.

We entered the door and came into the next place.

However, there is no floor. Deep darkness spread everywhere. You can't see the bottom.

The road is twisting like a snake until the door at the opposite bank.

There's a one-meter tall round pillar next to the door, a torch with green flame is relentlessly burning on top of the pillar. It's a so-called bonfire.

"Are your injury alright?"

"Just in case, I'll heal you with magic."

I ignore the surprised old man and quickly chant, <> and <>.

Celica exclaims, wow while seeing the light emitted from my palm.

"Don't rely on me too much okay."

"Then go read the letters on the bonfire pedestal while I'm healing the old man."

Celica turns over and heads to the bonfire while fluttering her skirt.

"Keika-sama, it's written that 『Light the candles from the flame on the bonfire and continue onward. Otherwise, the green door will not open.』"

"There are five of them behind the bonfire's pedestal."

I put my hand on top of the open hole.

A gust of wind blew, hitting my hand, fluttering my Wafuku's sleeve.

I'd probably get dragged down if I flew in the air.

I'm thinking.

--To whittle down the mental strength huh. Your nerve will surely wear down with this.

"Well then Keika-sama, let us go ahead. As there are five candles here, what should we do?"

"Eh!? But if monsters were to attack...."

Fwoosh, the candles part way from Celica's hand.

They're lit with green flame.

Celica's blue eyes open wide.

"Is that so. Well, I figured as much."

How is that possible? --Cause I'm a God.

However, the moment I got carried away, I suddenly felt dizzy.

I remain firm even though my legs stagger.

"Keika-sama!?"

I look at the bonfire and the candle with <> at once.

【Bonfire of Green Flame】 You can go to the next floor by putting this magic flame in front of the Floor Door.

I look at my own hand.

--------------------

Name: Keika Hiko-no-Mikoto

Vitality: 614,600

Defense: 143,620

Magic Defense: 42,620

I had used many magic and kept using <> so it wouldn't be strange if it decreased by 10,000 but this is just too much.

I canceled <> on the candles except for one.

I kept staring at my status, my MP decreased again.

Taking all the candles at once meant a decrease by 1%, 5666. No wonder it was intense.

Celica's long blond hair flutter as she rushes up over the candles.

"These candles consume your magic power. Moreover, it's probably by ratio."

"That's right.... Celica, try lighting one with the flame."

Celica picks up one candle with her slender fingers and heads toward the blaze on top of the bonfire.

Celica's magic power is the lowest here. It's at 165.

Celica, the old man and I are staring at the candle she holds in front of her chest.

However, Celica's magic power isn't decreasing even though I'm looking at it.

It was decreased by 0.2% in one minute, and after three minutes, it finally reached a number that could be observed.

"Next Celica, light another candle with the flame on the candle you have in your hand."

Celica quickly understands, picks up another candle and lights it with the green flame on the first candle.

--However.

"Flame from another candle won't be green colored huh."

Celica looks disappointed with dropped shoulders.

The old man who was watching speaks.

"No we shouldn't. It looks like it'll take one hour just for a trip. We'd waste three hours if we do a round-trip."

Celica looked puzzled, her blue eyes are fogged up with anxiety. Her blond hair glitter from the light of the green flame on the bonfire.

"Of course we end this in just one trip! Like we'll waste time here!"

A dungeon that whittles down your magic power after your physical strength.

It's truly a cunning and repulsive idea.

--Don't think I'll proceed as the demon king envisioned!

"But how do we do that?"

"--<>."

Celica opens her red lips, dumbfounded.

"O-oy, Keika, what're you gonna do!?"

The pulverized bonfire inclines.

"It's slightly heavy."

And then I lifted them off the floor.

"Ke-Keika-sama! What are you going to do with that!"

I laugh after putting down the pedestal for now.

"T-that's quite absurd..."

The two gradually smile even while looking shocked.

I put down my bag and lift the bonfire on my shoulder.

"I understand."

The faces of the two tighten once they've done preparing.

I step on the narrow road in the space while firmly carrying the bonfire on my shoulder.
