Strongest Alchemist System
Chapter 13: Preparing for a raid

Right now, gathering with the same people as before, we are having a discussion about our previous discussion.

“As expected, the best way we can go is to lure the dragon to this place, then the troops led by the Regime will raid the Sacred Tree to save our brother. Because here we have Alicia-sama who can fight the undead, we have a chance to win, he said,” cetus an experienced elf warrior seriously while moving the dragon pawn on the map to a place that looks like a dense forest.

It's true, it's the best plan we can currently get, but of course it still has a gap. The goal we have achieved is not just one.

“It would be useless if we did not defeat the dragon, even if we managed to defeat the leader of the demon king. The dragon will still be there, have you forgotten the main purpose of the raid this time? We will reclaim our village,” refutes another elf, which makes this situation even more complicated.

Right, in the raid this time, we have two objectives. First, save the Elves who were still sheltering inside the Sacred Tree, and another one was to retake their village from the enemy forces.

Unfortunately, with the power we currently have, it is impossible to defeat that dragon. Even if we can defeat the leader of the demon lord thanks to Alicia who is on our side, it will be useless if the dragon is still alive and makes the village as his residence.

It seemed that they also had no choice to move out of this forest, because to them, the Sacred Tree was a sacred place, and their only home, so they could not just leave it alone.

It's troublesome, I don't know how powerful the dragon is, so I can't come up with a good plan to defeat it. If here I make a plan in half, it will only make it more chaotic like the plan ends up failing.

If I can I don't want to take too high a risk.

“Nee, Riku, somehow this conversation is not growing at all. Are you sure this is gonna be okay? Don't you usually have a lot of plans at times like this, are you thinking about something?” alicia whispered to me.

“Well, doesn't mean I don't have. It's just that I don't want to take any chances when we don't have more accurate information,” I replied in a quiet voice.

But the only problem here is that we don't have enough power to kill the dragon.

At first I thought about fishing the dragon near the ravine, dropping it into the abyss, and then showering it with a lot of wood. After that burn him alive using fire magic.

It's just that, from what I heard, it looks like the dragon has a high resistance to fire and magic, so that way will only end up in vain.

Should we put a thorny trap at the bottom of that ravine?

But, if I do that, it is likely that the dragon will become more alert and aware of our plan, as he is also a being endowed with intelligence.

Seriously, isn't this impossible?

In order to escape the present situation, we need a powerful card, which can use great power to exterminate the dragon. Perhaps it should be equivalent to the explosive power of an anti-tank or nuclear missile class weapon.

While I was thinking about it and trying to find another way, I heard an elf with a gloomy looking face mutter.

“If only here was Mila.”

Hearing that, my eyes opened wide.

“Mila? Who is that guy?” many spontaneous.

“Mila is the strongest magician among us all. Not only could he use high-level magic, he could also use mythical magic. He was the Saint who protected the Sacred Tree. I'm sure he's now in the Sacred Tree to protect everyone,” the elf replied with pride and admiration to the person named Mila.

I don't know how famous she is, but seeing the look on the faces of everyone here looks so hopeful when they hear Mila's name. I know that this guy is not just anyone.

But what interested me more was not her, but her magic.

“Alicia, can you explain how powerful the magic level in this world is?” ask me to whisper it to Alicia who is beside me.

Hearing that, Alicia tilted her head. “Huh, what's up all of a sudden?”

“Already, quickly tell me,” my trigger forced him.

He seemed a little dislikeful, but he kept explaining it.

“In the world there are 3 levels of magic. Low, medium, and high, but it was just basic magic that everyone could learn. Whereas, in this world there is still magic that is much stronger than high-level magic, because the magic is too strong to be high-level magic, they replace it into mythical magic.

People who can use mythical magic are few, and very rare. Because the power they provide is usually equivalent to the explosive power of the missiles in your world.

Well, there's actually still one more kind of magic in this world, but since it's too forbidden and too dangerous, no one has ever done it. Maybe there was only one person in the past. As a result of that magic, the seasons in this world became extremely unstable. You could say it was a magic that could rewrite the world though.

All right, I guess that's all I need to tell you, are you satisfied?”

“Well, that's enough, thank you.”

After I listened to Alicia's explanation carefully, I nodded. I'm still curious about the multiplicity of stories from people who once used that forbidden magic, but for now it doesn't matter.

I thought for a minute about what he just explained, and then—

“Heh.” A wide smile began to be painted on my face.

Well, this might work.

Mythical magic, I don't know how powerful that magic really is, but I think it could definitely be our ace in the fight this time around.

It may still be a gamble, but it's worth it. With this plan, our hopes of winning became increasingly visible.

“Everything, please listen to me. I have a plan,” my chirps out loud with a wide smile full of confidence.

At that moment everyone looked surprised as soon as I saw me suddenly speaking, but I did not care about it, and only expressed all the plans I could think of to win this fight.

Then, after I had discussed all the plans I had, without a second thought, they all agreed to my plan, and we all started to get ready to make the raid.
