107 – Take care of it quickly and move on.
Berkel’s danger zone more than a day later.
“It’s a much more unpleasant place than I expected.”
Muttered Trixie, looking around.
The ominously dry ground, the muddy air of magical power, and countless monsters. The three wizards were walking in this place where various dangers lay dormant.
As you walk, sometimes the incomprehensible cries of the monsters strike your ears horrifyingly.
“What the hell was that guy thinking….”
Trixie put her hand on her forehead.
I thought the magic circle was related to teleportation. None of the three dared to predict.
A gambler and a miracle that uses mana as a catalyst to transport everyone to a dangerous area with a spell that has no error.
Such was the magic of Plan.
Signal, emergency avoidance, calm.
Three things you must have to survive in a dangerous area. Looking back now, each of those spells was a clue.
Among them, thanks to 「Calm」, The three of them were able to stay calm even in such a sudden situation.
Louise opened her mouth.
“Flan must have a plan. First of all, there is no place with as many points as a dangerous area.”
“… What the hell plan It’s the third day of the subjugation festival now. To make matters worse, Flan is away from us.”
Trixie’s gaze turned to the record of the subjugation ceremony. Top teams, including Tianchuk, are still steadily accumulating points.
… No, there is a bit of ambiguity in the expression of building up. It would be right to express that there is no choice but to build up.
The moment Joe’s score increase after entering the danger zone is no longer confirmed, it is in fact the same as not being able to confirm that he is alive.
Kung. Thud.
“Be alert from now on. If we can’t join Plan, we’ll have to do it ourselves.”
Kung. Thud.
“Why are you so loud when you talk?”
Trixie turned her head nervously. And soon, I was a bit embarrassed.
“… ?”
Becky was walking from the back, crushing and killing the bug-type horse that stood out with an ice pick.
“What are you doing?”
“Huh? You do too If you catch this, your score goes up.”
“… Under.”
Trixie let out a deep sigh. The points you can get from spiderlings are too weak.
“What should I do with the few points I collect?”
“I have to collect the small things one by one.”
“It’s no use. I told you.”
Gathering dust to make a great mountain is a story that can be used even when there is no target for comparison.
Now that the high-ranking knight groups are earning points like crazy, the dust will only remain as dust after collecting it.
“Now that you’re in a dangerous area, it’s important to attack at least one monster with a high score. And you have to join Plan first.”
“I’ll probably run into flan soon?”
“Please don’t spit out vague hopes.”
“Really. I feel something like a signal.”
Trixie tilted her head slightly.
‘Is there a “Signal” That can be detected?’
Trixie also succeeded in understanding the 「Signal」 Spell. But, at least for Trixie, there was nothing particularly perceptible at the moment.
“It’s the flan’s signal. Are you sure?”
“Yes. Are you sure.”
Trixie looked at Becky with new eyes. As far as the part related to flan, Becky had a particularly sensitive corner.
“….”
Trixie looked at Becky for a while with a mysterious look on her face, then snorted.
“If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s a couple.”
“Yeon…. What?”
Becky clung to Trixie. Very close too. To the extent that our breaths touch each other.
“What did you just say?”
“Yeon….”
Trixie was about to say ‘lover’ but kept her mouth shut in the middle. How should I say it, seeing Becky’s expression wanting to hear that, he says something he meant to say.
“… It’s okay.”
“Huh? Trixie.”
“It’s okay. Don’t mind.”
Without giving Becky the answer she wanted, Trixie just brushed her hair proudly.
“By the way, don’t you think this isn’t a forest?”
Louis, who had been walking ahead, finally said a word. At his words, Becky nodded quietly.
“Right. That’s what I was thinking too.”
Becky looked around.
“I was relieved when I just found the road, but it’s a little strange as I walk. Do you feel like you are being induced?”
“Yes. It feels more like a maze than a forest.”
“A maze in a dangerous area. Ominous….”
Concern appeared on Becky’s face.
But his doubts about the terrain soon faded. Because it felt more serious.
“Huh?”
“Wait a minute.”
The three stopped at the same time.
The sentiments of the three were all the same this time. Intense energy soars for a moment and then quickly subsides.
“Let’s go.”
“Ugh, it’s scary for nothing….”
“There is only one road anyway. I have to go.”
Becky calmly followed behind the two leaders. And after about 10 minutes, the three were able to face the identity of the energy that had occurred.
“It’s a corpse.”
Trixie murmured lowly.
A scene where three knights lay down, bleeding. I get goosebumps by looking at you without even closing my eyes.
“Ghost… ? Is it a ghost or an unknown corpse?”
Becky swallowed dryly.
Although she did not feel a bond with the knights, the girl felt sorry for the death of others.
Louis gets down on one knee and examines the bodies closely. She immediately shook her head.
“No. I am human.”
“A human knight?”
“Look here.”
What Lewis pointed out was the part of the wrist that could take the pulse, and on the skin of the corpses, the blue circuit unique to users of unique abilities stood out like veins.
“….”
I got goosebumps.
At the same time, all three of them once again realized where they were standing.
It’s a life-and-death game, submitting a memorandum, warning about dangerous areas…. I knew everything from the beginning.
However, despite knowing all of that, I was shocked to see the other representatives dead.
“This is real life.”
Muttered Becky quietly.
Under the name of representative, they can no longer get help from anyone. A moment’s carelessness will soon lead to eternal rest.
Trixie was the first to regain her composure.
“What? Why are people so passionate about subjugation in the first place? You already knew that you could die.”
“Yes, but…. Ugh.”
Becky turned her head away as if she couldn’t look any further.
“As expected, it would be nice to have Flan by my side.”
Louis said quietly. In this situation, there was only one person who came to mind.
“From now on, even breathe carefully. There is no guarantee that we are different.”
The moment Trixie gave that warning.
While rustling, several bug-type monsters quickly passed by the three of them.
“Wow, did the bug-type monsters get bigger?”
Kidduck!
From noble mtl dot com
Becky froze them whole. In the next moment, the palm-sized monsters turned into mere pieces of ice and crumbled away.
“Phew, it’s fortunate that the treatment is easy.”
“You. What are you doing.”
“Huh?”
Becky tilts his head as if asking something back.
“You have to treat it like this so that the intestines don’t explode. I get really nauseous after something fried….”
“No. You idiot.”
Trixie sighed in frustration.
“Even breathing carefully. Didn’t I just say that? You listened carefully.”
“I was careful in my own way….”
Becky shrugged his shoulders as if it was unfair.
“And isn’t it safer to hold? Even the score goes up quite a bit.”
It was then.
Sssss!
The rustling sound started again. It soon overlaps and becomes so loud that it hurts your ears.
“Yes… ?”
As the sound grew louder and louder, the embarrassment of the three also began to grow proportionately.
Everyone’s head turns toward the source.
“… !”
“What!”
“Bur, a bug-type monster? So many?”
A huge number of bug-type monsters were rushing towards the three like waves. It was a number close to the military force, which was absurd even to describe it as unreasonable.
Trixie’s eyes shot sparks.
“Becky, you… !”
“Me, me, because of me?”
“There is someone else besides you then!”
At the same time, Trixie started modeling a flame wolf. Louis and Becky, who grasped the situation, also quickly raise their mana.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
As the army of spiders approached, the entire earth trembled. Even if there is only one, something terrifying enough to frighten, gathers like a wave and attacks.
“This, gather towards me for now—!”
Becky freaked out and spread his ice shield in a semi-circle and threw it over the three of them. A counterattack or something, I was thinking of protecting myself first.
“Becky, you… ! Put this away!”
“If you clean it up, it will be a big problem!”
“It’s rather like locking us up. Why did you touch a bug-type monster in the first place… !”
The resentment towards Becky gradually increases. The victim closed his eyes tightly and desperately spread the ice.
“Yes… ?”
However, it didn’t take long for the misunderstanding to be resolved. The baby spiders proudly passed the three.
As if they didn’t care about you guys, the spider beasts quickly stepped on the semicircular ice surrounding the three of them.
“… What?”
“Wasn’t it coming to us?”
All three stared blankly at the tails of the bug-type monsters. Fortunately, it was fortunate, but there was no way to know what was going on.
Kururure—!
But then.
A chilling resonance shook the earth.
When I turned my head, the huge spider queen was looking at the three of them with countless eyes.
The size of the tree made it look ridiculous, and the insidious aura that was incomparable to the monsters I encountered before. It was enough to leave the delegates speechless.
“….”
All the spiders just now were running away. It was a fleeting moment, but the whole situation was understood.
“… What now?”
Muttered Becky lowly. There was no answer coming back.
Kurruru─
A spider pulls a long red thread from her body.
It wrapped around the main joints of the knights, and the corpse began to move as if it were alive.
“… !”
All three of them were momentarily dazed at the shocking sight.
“Controlling a corpse? Even now….”
“No. It’s too late to run on two feet.”
Trixie cut off Becky’s words.
“A bug-type monster.”
Then. Louis murmured quietly.
“We know that Louis is a bug-type monster….”
“No. Not what is in front of you.”
He shakes his head slowly.
“Then?”
“Little bug-type monsters are coming back from behind?”
“… ?”
What Lewis said was true. Looking back, the things that had passed the three of them were still coming back.
Previously, it was only a spider monster, but this time, all kinds of bug-type monsters were mixed together. If a wave passed once, it is a tsunami that strikes this time.
“aaagh!”
Becky screamed and squeezed the last of his strength. A tidal wave of bug-type monsters sweeps across the hemispherical ice.
“That…. Why is that coming back!”
“Focus on defense first!”
One second. Ten seconds. Thirty seconds.
As he raised his mana to the limit, a sharp pain struck. It was an unbearable pain even after grinding my teeth, but the desire to live was much greater.
The result of enduring and enduring like that.
“… Done!”
When you finally get past the last spider. Becky exclaimed with joy.
However.
I soon realized that there was no time to be happy.
Unbelievable scenery was unfolding before my eyes.
“What….”
Scattered in all directions, the bodies and legs of the bugs, as well as the bug-type monsters, were all cut into small pieces. The cause is the body of the knights handled by the queen spider.
“Does that make sense?”
Becky shuddered at the reality in front of him.
It was hard to believe that a number that had been regarded as a ‘tsunami’ had been removed like dust.
It seems that the corpses of knights bound by a red thread are talking to you. He said, “You’re next.” Legs tremble on their own.
Right at that moment.
I wondered if the red thread was being pulled tight, and before I even blinked, the corpses of the knights rushed right in front of me.
No, it was vitality and momentum that couldn’t be called a corpse. He hadn’t even thought about how to deal with it yet.
“Becky! Stop it!”
Louie’s urgent cry was heard.
“It’s late….”
It was when I mumbled all the way there.
Quaaang!
The space exploded with a loud sound.
The empty space shuddered like a haze, and a red thread bounced far into the distance.
The three faces went blank at the unexpected situation.
And the unexpected situation, I was able to understand the next moment.
“What? It’s just one worm.”
Unique cool tone.
The cause of the tidal wave of insect-type monsters.
Also the one who made everyone come to the danger zone.
A man with a carefree face, as if he goes in and out of his mansion. A person who only seeks the path of a wizard.
Plan.
He still stands dry, but the magic radiating near him is as far away as the sea.
Relief appeared on everyone’s faces.
“You….”
“Flan!”
At some point, he took a slow step.
“But, still.”
He started snapping his fingers a few times.
“There is a worm that does not know the subject.”
All the red threads were cut off in the air.
“Quickly deal with it and move on.”
Forced to end the Spider Queen’s puppet show, Plan calmly concluded his words.
“Because I found something very interesting.”
while Trixie is bi*ching only Becky does something
