Chapter 17: Instruction Manual vol.1.0 ver.1.14
☆Summoning☆
Refers to the act of summoning from another world. The Arcana Kingdom summoned Ryuguin and Ichiro Yamada for the purpose of conquering the Labyrinth. Those who are summoned are said to be individuals capable of “saving this world.”
☆Holy Knight☆
The protagonist. A guardian knight specialized in the 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. The four Holy Knights, including Yamada, are now subjects of scorn within the Arcana Kingdom.
☆Labyrinth☆
Also referred to as a dungeon. If it grows too large, it can trigger a stampede. It manifests in various forms, not just as an underground structure.
☆Newly Constructed Ultimate Labyrinth☆
It’s dangerous from the very first layer. Since the discovery of this dungeon, the exploration of new dungeons has been entrusted to advanced players (mostly S-rank and above). It is said that there are twelve of these Newly Constructed Ultimate Labyrinths.
☆Mirror Labyrinth Boss☆
A Crystal Humanoid, also known as a Crystal Doll. Commonly referred to as the Crystal Humanoid or Human Crystal. Composed of transparent magical ore. A boss that is notorious for instant kills. It can reflect any magic thrown at it. Even parties that are within the realm of common sense, aside from Yamada, may reach it only to be annihilated by their strongest magic, which is reflected back at them.
☆Light Labyrinth Boss☆
A radiant angelic monster. Commonly referred to as an Angel. Immune to physical attacks, light attribute, and almost immune to dark attribute. It toys with Yamada with movements reminiscent of a fighting game character that might appear in K○f. The author is a fan of the King. A party with a reasonable composition will likely perish upon encountering it.
☆Dungeon Appraiser☆
A profession that can vaguely assess the type of dungeon. 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…? This phrase became popular as a result of various fables and anecdotes shared by a hero from Japan who once visited.
☆Magic vs Magic☆
When opposing concepts or similar types of magic clash, the outcome is often determined purely by the rank of the magic. For example, it is said that a Basic Magic cannot compete with an Advanced Magic. However, this notion was completely overturned by the much-discussed red-haired Sage.
☆Skill vs Skill☆
The higher the rank of a skill, the greater its effect. Therefore, in a Skill vs Skill scenario, the effect of the higher-ranked skill prevails. However, some degree of attenuation can be expected. Due to this attenuation, the original skill effect may not be fully realized, resulting in a disjointed effect.
☆Skill☆
A verbalization of one’s abilities. A mysterious power bestowed by the gods. In reality, there is much that remains unknown.
☆Skill Appraisal☆
The act of assessing what skills a person possesses. There are many mysteries surrounding this as well. Most people do not understand the reasoning behind how this is accomplished.
☆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 means, information may be read. However, doing so requires overwhelming amounts of knowledge and a power distinct from mana.
☆Mapping☆
Mapping. Dungeon mapping. There may be other uses or none at all. In fact, Yamada possesses a Mapping Orb.
☆Orb☆
In addition to the Wish Orb, there are also orbs like the S-Rare Skill Orb. The Mapping Orb falls into this category.
☆Wish Orb☆
An orb that grants wishes. However, it does not say that it won’t do something.
☆UTuber☆
A UTube video poster. Ryuguin loves high-minded UTubers. He has favorited many posters who are CEOs, investors, or medical professionals. However, whether Ryuguin has the ability to utilize that information is highly questionable.
☆CEO☆
Ryuguin’s dream. He believes that he doesn’t need an education to become a CEO. Therefore, he is utterly hopeless at studying.
☆Social Insects☆
Insects like ants and bees that have a caste system, dividing individuals into roles such as workers and helpers, living in a manner similar to human society. Like human society, it forms a triangle, and those at the bottom are treated terribly.
☆Holy Sword☆
A remarkably sturdy sword that does not break even when wielded with all of Yamada’s strength. The Hero could barely manage to hold it. Currently, it is possessed by the Sword Saint. 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 aptly describes her. Once, she was a woman of love and compassion.
☆Apple Pie☆
Since meeting Yamada, it has become Mika’s favorite food. Among them, she especially loves Ichiro’s Apple Pie. Yamada had this freshly made pie smashed to the ground.
☆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 reach, aside from being able to use only Basic Magic. If they can activate a magic of their weak attribute, they possess techniques capable of taking down dungeon bosses in one hit. However, their ultimate techniques have extremely long incantations, and since Ange has paper-thin defenses, an excellent tank is indispensable.
It raises serious questions about how they plan to explore ultra-high-difficulty dungeons without a tank while carrying such fragile defenses.
☆“The One”☆
The world I created is just for you and me. In my world, only the two of us are needed. The origin of this name no longer exists within her.
☆Sword Saint☆
A serious yet affectionate heroine. By mastering the Ultimate Double-Edged and defeating the Blade Phantom, her swordsmanship has surpassed even that of her father’s Knight Commander, making her the strongest swordsman in history. It is said that through mysterious training sessions with Ryuguin, she has blossomed, responding with “Yes!” “Yes, yes! There!” and “Yes! Yes!” for a long time.
☆Blade Phantom☆
The boss of the Blade Labyrinth. A skeletal dragon composed of the bones of the Unbreakable Dragon. A cheat monster possessing the sword techniques of the strongest swordsmen and heroes throughout history, copied and pasted from the Akashic Records. The core personality is said to be a madman who devoted everything to a sword with no skills.
To prevent pacing issues, most of the combat scenes were cut.
Desiring a one-on-one duel, it appears alongside Claiomh Solais to set the stage.
☆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 incredibly strong adversary. When it glows, it moves at speeds a thousand times faster for just an instant.
If one encounters this, nearly all of humanity would be doomed.
The strategy to defeat it is either to have an excellent tank guard constantly, have someone with a sensing skill predict its movements, or engage in super high-speed combat like Yamada. However, all of these are merely theoretical and practically impossible.
☆Super High-Speed Combat☆
The moment humanity encounters monsters that engage in this type of combat, they generally die.
☆Out Strider del Sole☆
Only Yamada, who possesses Advanced Light Magic: Extreme++, can use this. It is a product of joint development with Angelica. Its maximum speed is said to exceed that of Claiomh Solais by a thousand times. Its weakness is poor fuel efficiency. The reasoning is that it transforms one’s body into particles of light, making a speed of a thousand times effectively feel like standing still.
The moment an enemy encounters Yamada in this state, they meet their demise. The initial proposal was Photogenic, but it was discarded.
☆Oblivion☆
A mysterious light space where the situation of “Is it an illusion?” “No, it’s not an illusion?” “Is it really an illusion?” “What is an illusion?” continues indefinitely. A massive laser was obliterated with this.
☆Cyalume☆
A spell that infuses and envelops a sword with condensed light attribute mana. It is a hyper superior version of the light magic sword. If a poorly made sword is used, it will explode.
This is Yamada’s unique magic.
☆Rain☆
A spell that forms an immense quantity of light magic particles into needle-like shapes and showers them down like rain. It excels in area suppression and can also be used for long-range sniping. This is Yamada’s unique magic.
☆Condenser☆
A finishing move that bundles Rain into one and releases it like a laser. It remains somewhat obscure.
The Cyalume can also be wielded like a sword by wrapping it around my middle and index fingers.
☆Double Edge☆
A sword technique that reconciles the contradictions of ultimate strength and supreme softness. It is also known as the Ultimate Double-Edged. One could even claim it as the complete original of the Sword Saint, and if I were to say it in a cooler way, it would be referred to as Gladius Style Swordsmanship.
Now, thanks to Ryuguin’s misunderstanding, it has mysteriously been dubbed the Dual Engine.
☆Pledge Magic☆
An advanced version of contract magic. This spell can only be used by those who serve the gods, such as clerics and priests. To master it, one must possess an exceptionally high level of faith in the divine, as well as a heart that values equality and justice.
The balance of the scales between the vow and the price depends on the agreement of both parties. Of course, the Saintess can also utilize it. If broken, one will face the penalties agreed upon at the time of the vow, and the gods will turn their backs on them. But what exactly is a god…?
☆Hero☆
A hero. One who possesses courage. A savior of the nation. In most RPGs, they can come back to life almost immediately after dying. They resurrect time and time again, continuing to rise until they defeat the final boss, repeatedly charging into battle without hesitation. They also possess a mental fortitude that allows them to endure the cycle of death.
☆Limit Break☆
The specifics remain unclear.
☆Incantation Cancellation Chant☆
A chant that cancels the original incantation. It’s something like a super version that surpasses the super something. Maybe not, though. This method uses several times the usual mana to forcibly shorten or cancel the incantation.
