The reason why the spell was named Charbomb was simple.

Because its power was that strong.

However, the range was not that wide.

It could be said that it was a magic that inflicted damage concentrated in one place, rather than causing widespread damage.

Therefore, there was no chance for other comrades to enter the firing range.

But just in case, I gave a warning in advance.

“Please step back for a moment. It could be a bit dangerous.”

Because it could be extremely dangerous, I gave the warning in advance.

Upon hearing my words, everyone stepped back.

And shortly after.

[Charbomb]

I infused mana into the spell.

And then-

Boom!

A fireball fell from the sky.

Directly onto the gathered trolls.

And shortly after.

Boom!

A mushroom cloud rose, revealing the trolls gathered by the gravity bomb.

The trolls, with their strong magic resistance and stamina regeneration, disappeared without a trace.

Upon confirming that, I broke out in a cold sweat.

It seemed that this magic was not something to be used frequently.

Although it was efficient, hitting the target was difficult.

It was easy because the opponent was a stupid greenskin like a troll, but if it were a different monster like a drake, it would have been harder to hit.

Therefore, it seemed more appropriate to use it for interception while staying still.

“Good job, Mage.”

“Oh, thank you. I was able to hit them because Donnatus was holding them down.”

Donnatus thanked me.

I felt a little embarrassed.

I didn’t really do anything.

It was possible to hit them because the other comrades were holding the trolls down.

And my personality was not one that sought attention.

Of course, I enjoyed provoking in the gallery a bit, but that was a different story in reality.

“Haha, the Mage is quite the joker. I only faced weaklings.”

“That’s true. You only faced weak ones.”

Violet interjected from the side.

I had noticed since last time that Violet didn’t seem to like Donnatus that much.

Although they hadn’t fought before.

Thinking about that, no more monsters came rushing towards us.

It was fortunate.

It would have been a bit burdensome if more had come.

“Then let’s move on now.”

“Yes, let’s do that! It might not be good if we stay here any longer.”

We decided to move on because it seemed like more monsters would keep coming if we stayed.

Although they weren’t coming now, they might come later.

With that in mind, we started moving.

[Concealment]

We moved using Concealment.

To avoid being noticed by the monsters nearby.

And so, we used Concealment to move, and naturally, we had some time left.

So, we had no choice but to open the gallery.

I didn’t do it to waste time while moving.

It was to gather information.

“Oh, I wrote something earlier.”

I remembered that I had written something earlier, so I decided to check the comments.

[Title: Can’t teleport in the Fantasy Forest?]

[Content: Why doesn’t it work? Damn it]

L: It should work lol

L: It works

L: How can you call yourself a scumbag and not know how to get to the Fantasy Forest?

N: Didn’t you know this guy is a fraud? He hasn’t even changed his nickname lol

N: Seriously annoying

N: Makes me want to punch him

L: There’s no way it wouldn’t work in the Fantasy Forest, it might even work better because of the abundant mana

N: Maybe you just cast it wrong? ㅠㅠ

L Perus: I heard it should work normally.

N Perus: It’s a bit strange.

L: Are you doubting it won’t work, you bastard? lol

N: But it might not work, right? If it’s the Fantasy Forest, it feels like something wouldn’t work

N: It might not work, right?

ㄴ:I keep saying this, but the Fantasy Forest is a must-visit.

ㄴ:Those who haven’t been to the Fantasy Forest, please keep your mouths shut.

Upon reflection, it seemed like Mr. Perus never slept.

He always seemed to be awake.

It was quite fascinating, I must say.

Well, from my perspective, he was always grateful for answering my questions.

With that in mind, I continued walking.

It seemed like it would be best to collect more Fantasy Flowers while I was at it.

Step by step.

How far had I walked?

Once again, another spot with Fantasy Flowers appeared.

But this time, I didn’t pick them right away.

[Sensory Amplification]

I used a magic spell to amplify my senses.

Suddenly, I could feel the flow of mana all around me.

I could sense even the tiniest traces of mana.

This allowed me to feel the very subtle mana in the ground.

Not the natural mana, but a flow that seemed unnaturally created by someone else.

So, I carefully explored the area where I could feel the mana flow.

Of course, I didn’t dig with my hands, I used magic to do so.

I didn’t want dirt on my hands.

Dig, dig.

As I dug into the ground, I found a strange object.

It was bead-like, and I could faintly sense the flow of mana inside.

So, I took a picture and posted it on the gallery.

[Title: Anyone know what this is? (100 points)]

[Content: (Photo) What is this thing?]

I posted the message and asked others around me.

“Does anyone know what this is? It’s my first time seeing it.”

While I knew a lot about magic, I wasn’t familiar with magical devices like this.

So, I asked my colleagues nearby.

“Well, I have no idea either. It looks unfamiliar to me too.”

Violet didn’t know, so I moved on to the next person.

“I have no clue either!”

Hartz seemed clueless as well.

That left only Dontas.

“…Hmm, it looks similar to something I saw before. It’s called a ‘Lam,’ and I believe it can hold a magical spell inside.”

Dontas provided the answer.

The faint mana inside this object.

I wondered what it could be, but now I had an idea.

A device called ‘Lam.’

Dontas seemed quite knowledgeable, perhaps due to his past experience as a blacksmith.

With that in mind, I checked the post on the gallery.

[Title: Anyone know what this is? (100 points)]

[Content: (Photo) What is this thing?]

L:Don’t pretend like you know, damn it.

ㄴ:Yeah, for real.

L:Asking about something valuable while pretending not to know, shameless.

ㄴ:After saying that, saying “I really don’t know,” seems believable.

ㄴ:But it’s kind of cute that they really seem clueless.

LPerus:This is an object called ‘Lam,’ which can hold a magical spell inside. Despite its high price, it’s used by most mages due to its undetectable mana.

ㄴPerus:It seems like Perus was working in Kurothum.

Certainly, working in such a field seemed to quickly accumulate knowledge in that area.

Seeing how quickly he responded to questions.

I left a comment, impressed by his knowledge.

LRealTrash:Thanks to everyone who left comments, you guys are great.

By confirming in real life and on the gallery, you can minimize the chances of getting incorrect information.

It’s all about double-checking.

With that in mind, I grabbed the ‘Lam’ and used magic to examine its structure.

[Brainwave]

Using brainwave magic, I examined the structure of the ‘Lam.’

And after a while.

I was able to uncover a certain fact.

The symbol inscribed on the ‘Lam’ was a spell that disrupted teleportation.

Therefore, we had no choice but to fight since we couldn’t teleport.

“Hmm.”

I wonder how much time has passed.

I have now completed understanding the structure.

So, it was important to engrave the spell inside a small concrete.

If you were a high-level wizard, it seemed possible to rewrite the spell engraved on ‘Lam’.

So, I decided to give it a try.

I also had to remove the spell that limits teleportation that was previously engraved.

“..What kind of spell should I use?”

Since spells that harm people around me are a bit problematic, I decided to simply engrave the spell for [Fire Spear].

And then I put it back into the ground.

“Now, if you step here, an attack spell will be activated. So, everyone please step aside.”

“Huh? Lam is a very complex artifact. How did you manage to do that in an instant..”

“I happened to be able to engrave the spell.. Anyway, if we have time, let’s try to find Lam in another place too. It’s unlikely to be only here.”

“Understood, wizard.”

Those who had hidden this ‘Lam’ probably planned to attack us after we were exhausted from picking the fantasy flowers and dealing with the monsters.

But I wasn’t going to just stand by and let it happen.

So, I decided to come up with a slightly amusing plan.

A plan to plunder the plunderers.
