Wounded Paladin – Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Instruction Manual vol. 1.0

Summoning
Refers to the summoning to another world. The Arcana Kingdom summoned Ryuguin and Ichiro for the purpose of conquering the Labyrinth.

Holy Knight
The protagonist. A guardian knight specialized in Light Attribute. Currently, some of his skills have grown and transformed into Advanced Light Magic: Extreme++. Due to a certain incident, he has suffered an indelible scar in his heart after experiencing it four times in a row.

Labyrinth
Also known as a dungeon. If it grows too much, it can trigger a stampede.

Newly Constructed Ultimate Labyrinth
It’s dangerous from the first layer. Before its danger level was recognized, a C-rank advance party went missing. Following that, a B-rank party also vanished without a trace. In a display of sequential troop deployment, an A-rank party was sent, but apart from one survivor, they were all wiped out. When inquiring about the situation, the survivor reported that they were annihilated in the second layer. It is said that there are twelve Newly Constructed Ultimate Labyrinths (…).

Mirror Labyrinth Boss
A Crystal Humanoid. A humanoid entity, commonly referred to as “Human Crystal.” It is composed of transparent magical ore. A boss designed to kill on the first encounter. It can reflect any magic thrown at it. Even a party with common sense, if they manage to reach the boss while risking their lives, will find themselves doomed to annihilation as their most powerful magic is reflected back at them.

Light Labyrinth Boss
A radiant angelic monster, commonly referred to as “Angel.” It is immune to physical attacks, Light Attribute, and almost entirely immune to Dark Attribute. A party with a reasonable composition will die upon encountering it.

Dungeon Appraiser
A profession that can vaguely appraise what type of dungeon it is. Naming the Light Labyrinth and Mirror Labyrinth is their job. They are few in number and highly valued. They can live comfortably without working much at all.

“The Moon is Beautiful, Isn’t It?”
A well-known confession line. The translation has a certain flair, but is it really…?

Magic vs Magic
When opposing concepts or similar types of magic clash, the outcome is often determined purely by the rank of the magic.

Skill vs Skill
The higher the rank of a skill, the greater its effect. Thus, in a skill vs skill scenario, the one with the higher rank will prevail, although some degree of attenuation can be expected.

Skill
An ability. A mysterious power granted by God. In reality, there is still much that is not understood.

Skill Appraisal
The act of appraising what skills a person possesses. There are many unclear points, such as, “If it’s not listed in the skill, does that mean it can’t be done?” or “Does that mean if I don’t have the skill for washing dishes, I can’t wash dishes well?” Thus, it’s not surprising if anything happens.

Akashic Records
A memory device that encompasses all phenomena in existence, or rather, a recording medium. It exists as a concept. By accessing it through some method, information may be read. However, doing so requires an overwhelming amount of knowledge and a great power distinct from mana.

Mapping
Mapping. Dungeon mapping. There are said to be other uses, or perhaps not.

Orb
In addition to the Wish Orb, there are orbs that grant skills. There are also various orbs that defy common sense.

Wish Orb
An orb that grants wishes. However, it does not say that it won’t do ○○○○.

UTuber
A UTube video poster. Ryuguin loves high-minded UTubers. He has many favorites among CEOs, investors, and medical professionals. However, it is highly questionable whether he has the ability to utilize that information.

CEO
Ryuguin’s dream.

Social Insects
Insects like ants and bees that adopt a caste system and divide into roles such as workers and helpers, living in a manner similar to human society.

Holy Sword
A remarkably sturdy sword that cannot be damaged even when wielded with all of Yamada’s strength. It possesses a mysterious ability, but it was unknown at the time Yamada possessed it. The Hero could barely manage to hold it. Currently, it is in the possession of the Sword Saint. There are rumors that every time she grips the Holy Sword, mysterious tears overflow, preventing her from taking it into battle.

Saintess
Pure, chaste, innocent, immaculate, and virtuous. Each of these words is fitting to describe her. She was a woman of love and compassion.

Apple Pie
Since meeting Yamada, it has become Mika’s favorite food. Among them, she particularly loves Ichiro’s apple pie the most.

Mage
With mana capacity, control, versatility, and attack power far surpassing that of the royal magic nobility, they are on a level that even the top student of Arcana Kingdom Academy cannot match, except for the fact that they can only use Basic Magic. If they can activate a magic of their weak attribute, they possess techniques that can take down dungeon bosses in a single blow. However, their ultimate techniques have extremely long incantations, and since Angelica has paper-thin defenses, an excellent tank is indispensable.

“The One”
The world I created was made by me and you. In my world, it is just fine for there to be only the two of us.

Sword Saint
A serious yet affectionate heroine. Having mastered the Ultimate Double-Edged and defeated the Blade Phantom, her swordsmanship surpasses even that of her father’s, the Knight Commander, making her the strongest swordsman in history.

Blade Phantom
The boss of the Blade Labyrinth, commonly referred to as the Dragonbone Swordsman. Its true identity is a bone dragon person (Barbaroi) composed of the bones of the Unbreakable Dragon, which has been copied and pasted with the sword techniques of the strongest swordsmen and heroes throughout history via the Akashic Records. The core personality is said to be a madman who dedicated everything to a No-Skill sword. He desires a one-on-one duel and appears alongside Claiomh Solais to set the stage for that situation.

Claiomh Solais
A six-bladed monster that flies at super high speeds. Each blade can separate and independently attack the opponent or combine to unleash a devastating charged attack (a massive laser). It is an extremely powerful foe. When it glows, it moves at a speed a thousand times faster for a brief moment. Encountering it would spell doom for almost all of humanity. The only strategies to deal with it are to have an excellent tank guard continuously, have someone with a sensing skill predict its movements, or engage in super high-speed combat like Yamada. All of these are merely theoretical and utterly impractical.

Super High-Speed Combat
When humanity encounters a monster that engages in this type of combat, they generally die.

Out Strider del Sole
Only Yamada, who possesses Advanced Light Magic: Extreme++, can use this. By endowing his body with the pure properties of light, Yamada can engage in light-speed combat. It is a product of joint development with Angelica. It is said that his maximum speed is a thousand times that of normal, easily surpassing the movements of Claiomh Solais. Its weakness is poor mana efficiency. The moment an enemy encounters Yamada in this state, they meet their demise.

Oblivion
Like light refracting chaotically, it sends the target into a mysterious space-time where the questions “Is this an illusion?” “No, it’s not an illusion, is it?” “It must be an illusion, right?” “What is an illusion?” continue indefinitely. A massive laser was obliterated with this. Its mana consumption is extremely high, devouring more mana than Out Strider del Sole. There are opinions suggesting that if this were used to eliminate a dungeon boss, it could work, but if the dungeon does not recognize the completion of the quest as a result of the boss’s disappearance, the conquest would be at a standstill.

Double Edge
A sword technique that reconciles the ultimate hardness and supreme softness, also known as Ultimate Double-Edged. It is a complete original of the Sword Saint. It can be stylishly referred to as Gladius Style Swordsmanship.

Pledge Magic
A super upgraded version of contract magic. It can only be used by those in professions that serve God, such as clerics and priests. To learn it, one must possess a very high level of faith in God and a heart that values equality and justice. The balance of the pledge and the cost depends on the agreement of both parties. Of course, the Saintess can also use it. Breaking it results in the penalties agreed upon at the time of the pledge, and one will also be forsaken by God.

Hero
A hero. A person of courage. One who achieves the salvation of the nation. In most RPGs, they can be resurrected immediately after death. They can come back to life over and over again. They continue to resurrect infinitely until they defeat the final boss, repeatedly charging into battle. They also possess a mental fortitude that allows them to handle repeated deaths without issue.

Limit Break
Unclear what it refers to.

Incantation Abandonment Chant
An incantation that has been abandoned. Something like a super version of a super something. Maybe not. It is a method of chanting that forcibly shortens or abandons the incantation using several times the mana.
