Chapter 157
"Next, let's remove buildings that's on the way! This place should be big enough to hold the people if we remove the inn over there!"
I declared that after we had finished reinforcing the wall and setting up the trap .
And then, Ruli and the girls looked surprised .
"Remove . . . You mean by dismantling it?"
"Even if it's an emergency, demolishing buildings without permission isn't a good idea . . . "
"People will get mad at us if we do that!"
Ah . They think I'm going to destroy it huh .
However, there are ways to move buildings around without destroying them .
"We're not gonna destroy it! We're just gonna move it around a bit!"
I jump over the city's outer wall after saying that .
"M-moving a building that huge, without destroying it!?"
Ruli pointed at the inn I indicated .
Fortunately, there's no one inside, but it's still a very heavy three-story stone-made building .
Moving it by brute force will end up breaking it indeed . . . .
"The inn is built on top of the ground right . There are many ways to go about doing this . "
I went inside the inn and used several spells .
And then I turned around to the three .
"Alright, let's push it! To there!"
Hearing my instruction, the three put their hands on the wall and begin to push the building to the direction I pointed .
"I-I got it!"
"There's no way this huge building will move just by pushing–"
The three tried to move the building while seemingly half in doubt . . . It moved right when Iris began to push .
Traveling on the ground like it's sliding, without anything breaking .
"It moved!?"
"This heavy building, by pushing!?"

"This is weird even with Iris-san here . . . . What did Mathi-kun do anyway!?"
Ruli asked me .
True, Iris's power plays a big role in moving the inn building . . . But the biggest contributor here is the magic I put on the ground .
"I've softened the ground while also supporting the inn with augment magic! It does consume a lot of mana, but we've got no time right now!"
I threw a stone on the ground near the inn's entrance .
Normally it should have rebounded and rolled on the ground, but the stone just sunk into the ground like it was on water .
You can move a building around without breaking it by softening the ground this much .
. . . That said, the inn is quite large, it barely fits within Disqualified Crest's range .
I might need to think of another way if the building was a bit bigger .
The inn was safely moved out of the way and we opened a space spacious enough to hold the dungeon city populace close to the wall .
We can induce the monsters for real now .
The situation with the monsters . . . It's about to get dangerous soon .
A lot more monsters have arrived at the dungeon city .
. . . . It is easier to gather people if it gets a bit chaotic though .
"Alright, let's gather the people here!"
I canceled the ground softening augment magic, put another augment into a magic stone in my hand, and threw it in the center of the newly made space .
And then the magic stone developed a magic circle as large as the opened space while emitting blue light .
It's basically a barrier magic .
Its special characteristics is that it emits showy light and that light reaches far away places .
"That small magic stone for such a huge barrier . . . What kind of magic is this?"
Ruli looked at the magic stone I threw in astonishment .
. . . In actuality, this magic circle is the lowest level magic circle I've ever used .
I'd have asked Ruli with her Glory Crest instead of doing it myself if I wanted proper performance .
"It's effect is . . . decoration . "
" . . . Decoration?"
"Yeah . There's no actual effect . It only shines prettily . . . . But this kind of magic has its use at the right time . "
I activated the next magic as I said that .
There's not much time left, we've got to hurry and assemble the populace .
