Chapter 168
A few minutes after the demon cut off the transmission .
We've safely left the dungeon and come back to the inn .
The city was still in uproar because of the monster raid earlier, but it seems like inns have resumed their operations .
Well, the damage is almost nil after all, it's probably more peaceful compared to when that city ruler was still in power .
"So . . . How do we look for those demons?"
"With this . "
I took out a small magic stone as I replied Alma .
" . . . Magic stone?"
"It kinda feel like the demon's mana . . . "
Just as I thought, Ruli would notice .
"Yeah . This is that demon's mana transmitted through the comm magic . . . . It needs time to stabilize though, so it's still not complete yet . We'll use this to detect the demon . "
It's true that you can camouflage the actual location of the transmission by using relay magic .
However, even with relay, your mana will always be transmitted through the magic no matter what .
It would be a different story if the demon had used a special comm method, but then there would have been a delay in the transmission .
To begin with, searching a wide area by using mana as the basis wasn't widely known even before the decline back then, normally one doesn't prepare for it .
"Detecting mana, you mean . . . with Passive Detection?"
"No, Passive Detection can't cover that wide of an area . It's true that you can widen its search area . . . but there's no way Passive Detection can find our enemy unless they're very close . "
Considering our enemy took precautions for our detection, they must be quite far from us .
Trying to detect them with the assumption that they're close by is a waste of time and labor .
"Which means, there's other methods? Like through Dragon Vein, maybe . . . ?"
"You almost got it right . We're gonna use Dragon Vein indeed . . . But just that won't be enough . We'll use existing facilities . "
Searching a wide area through mana is unusual even before the decline .
Of course, it's not simple to do . . . however, it can be made easier this time .
" . . . Facilities?"
"Yea . There are large-scale magic devices that can search things by using enemy mana . We'll be using that . "
That's right .
The facilities I made in my past life still remain today .
By the way, they're facilities I employed to destroy demons, thus it's possible to thoroughly detect them all in times .
