"...Keeping silent won't help you. Even if you're invisible with naked eyes, you're plain as day with that much mana emitting."
"...Mathias, could it be that there's a demon inside this castle?"
The king sounded surprised when he heard me.
"No, it's not the main body. It's a spell art unleashed by the demon."
"Spell art... Is that some kind of wiretapping?"
"Something like that. You cannot see it, however--"
I took out a wood chip as I said that and threw it at the corner of the room.
The chip drew a parabola and got repelled as if it hit something one meter before the wall.
"Looks like it has a substance. Though, the demon won't suffer any damage even if that's physically destroyed."
Judging from the spell art, it's most likely a variant of magic called 【Fixed-type Simple Mana Interference】.
It's a relatively simple spell art which can be used to monitor far-away places.
In addition to that, it can also be used to turn up documents and send voices.
Furthermore, it doesn't have enough power to kill but conversely, the user also won't receive any damage even if the spell art is attacked.
In a way, it's a magic with an extremely good cost/performance.
"I can't believe it...."
The other three beside me seem to be shocked.
And the demon ('s magic) doesn't look like it'll make a move either.
Well, that's probably the correct answer for the demon. You can't really tell it apart from simple barrier magic as long as it doesn't let out a sound.
--That's why I'll make it speak.
This spell art has two weaknesses in exchange for its low mana consumption.
First, it needs time to set up, and the range is quite narrow.
It's not very effective unless it's set in a room where extremely important conversations are carried off.
As for the other weakness, I use up all my remaining mana and construct a very small-scale magic.
"Guh, what the heck is this...."
Right after that, a perplexed voice resounded from the corner of the room.
You cannot damage the user of 【Fixed-type Simple Mana Interference】 through the spell art.
However, that only applies to physical damage and simple destruction through magic.
The information gotten from 【Fixed-type Simple Mana Interference】 is processed in the spell art user's brain.
In other words, if you forcefully send harmful info for a demon mixed in the actual info, it's possible to directly destroy the brain.
