Chapter 454 – The Holy Sword and the Arena (25)

-Bang!

What is this explosion sound? Sounds like a bomb exploding. Come to think of it, the second bottle is not visible. No way?!

We quickly ran forward.

Was there a monster attack? However, the minimap was constantly checked. So, does that mean that something that doesn’t appear on the minimap has appeared? Then, by any chance, there was another monster like that in the cave?!

I ran through the bush and caught up with the second grader.

“Hmm. Are you here now?”

But the middle two were unconcerned. Not only that, but even a refreshing smile.

Of course, I couldn’t see his face because of the helmet, but it wasn’t hard to guess his expression just by hearing his voice.

However, the scene in front of her was not something that could make her smile.

“What was it just now? Why is it such a mess over there? Could it be that the same monster appeared again?!”

The bush blocking us was open about two meters wide. It was like a paved road in the middle of the forest.

However, the second grader is calm, as if asking what he is talking about.

“What are you talking about. It’s a little kid, but it’s not that common. If demon fragments were so common, I wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

“Then this is…”

“I was testing the output. I think the maximum output is too much. I’m also opening a passageway for both sides. Hot hot.”

At the end, he raises his nose as if he is proud of his achievements. But this was not the time to laugh.

“!”

On the minimap, red dots were gathering in this direction. As soon as I noticed, Yuri said.

“Uh, look at that.”

Monsters poking their heads into the aisle. The good thing is that it doesn’t run in a straight line towards this side. It seemed that they were also the same as wandering around their heads and not being able to grasp the situation. But the problem is the numbers.

“What are so many of them?”

Ariel answered my self-talk.

Didn’t you hear the sound of the cave collapsing? They were already gathering here at that time, but the sound of the explosion just now seems to have been the decisive blow.

“I don’t think now is the time to leisurely figure out the situation, right? Aren’t you supposed to run away?!”

Even if they escaped as Yuri said, the retreat was short. If the cave hadn’t collapsed, they would have fled inside.

I saw Ariel.

“Can’t you fly?”

“…A bunch. I still haven’t recovered all the mana I used while running away.”

Well, it wasn’t long before Ariel had been shooting things to prevent falling rocks while running away from the cave. The same goes for Lenny’s protection. Then what’s left?

“How can you not do that with a weapon that blows you up in one shot?”

At my words, the second grader smiled awkwardly.

“Um, well, that… I just ran out of charge, so it’s going to take some time…”

“…”

Useless waste of resources, overspending, clichés of being in danger by using meaningless special moves, and so on, all sorts of useless thoughts pop into my head.

Damn, this isn’t the time to escape reality like this. The important thing right now is to run away from here.

“!”

Suddenly something popped into my head.

“For a moment. How did you say you got here?”

“Huh?”

He didn’t understand at all what I was asking. I explained quickly.

“You started later than us when you entered the dungeon. How did you catch up with us then?”

“What, did you forget? Using the coordinates of the receiver you gave to your partner…”

“No, it’s not about how you caught up, it’s about how you used it. It must not have flown.”

The second bottle of middle school is a face that I finally understood. Soon, he regained his form as if he was trying to be smug, but I quickly cut off his words.

Whatever it is, can I use it now?

“Hmm. However, it’s unreasonable to go to the guild because the charge is still low.”

“Doesn’t care. We just need to get out of here. Write it right now.”

The boy nodded his head with a puzzled face.

I said just in case.

“We need to move all of us, not just you, okay?”

“…Joy. What do you see me as Aren’t you saying something too obvious? It’s a little disappointing to think that I would make such an insignificant, trivial mistake.”

This guy takes a while before speaking and makes long excuses. It’s clear you had no idea.

“Okay, do it quickly!”

“Okay, then I’ll use it right away.”

After the words of the second grader, I lost my mind.

“Whoa, whoa, this is amazing… I feel really exhausted from not doing anything.”

“Ha, ha, Joe, I’m a little dizzy, whoa, whoa…”

“Ha ha, ha, whoa, whoa…”

Lennie almost vomited. I’d like to pat him on the back, but right now it’s a bit too much for me to take care of myself.

It wasn’t long before I lost my mind. Feeling less than 1 second?

But the rush of sensations at that moment was generally unimaginable. It felt like experiencing the intensity of a normal roller coaster multiplied several times in less than a second.

Can’t do it twice never a specification

Still, it wasn’t a meaningless struggle.

“Whoa, it looks like you got out.”

The first thing I checked was to check the surrounding monsters through the minimap. Fortunately, the minimap was clear. You can see yellow dots in between, but these guys won’t attack us unless we dare to touch them.

“…Awesome. Even the guild said it was impossible, but it’s not soon.”

Ariel said after checking her surroundings. Indeed, checking the mini-map, it was only a few hours’ walk to reach the guild.

One performance is certain. It’s just incomprehensible nonsense.

Ariel, who heard me, tilted her head.

“That’s true, but hmm…”

“What’s the matter?”

“The place is a bit unconvincing. It would be quicker to ask him directly.”

Ariel approached the second grader.

“Ugh, ugh… Chu, no output… Heavy…”

The boy was scattered randomly on the grass. His whole body trembled as if he did not have the strength to even lift a finger.

I know in my head that he’s a great guy, but it’s always like this, so it doesn’t come close to me.

“…Are you okay?”

“Chu, charging…Needs time…”

You’re saying something I don’t understand. But Ariel didn’t care.

“There is something I want to ask you, is it okay?”

“Whoa, what is it?”

“How did you get here?”

“Huh, that’s…”

Oh, this guy is talking again. He’s trying to get into useless form again.

“I don’t know if you can understand even if I explain it, but if I have to tell you, I’ll compress the space…”

“…That’s an amazing story too. It’s nice to hear an explanation of the method, but I’m talking about location.”

Ariel drew a line on the ground and said.

“Why did you move to this place? There is a considerable distance from the route between the cave and the guild entrance. Is there any reason to take such a detour?”

“You said you lacked output. We couldn’t go directly to the guild, so we moved to the closest fixed coordinates.”

“But this isn’t a safe point, is it? How to receive fixed coordinates without anything…”

“Whoops, stupid. It’s only natural that the equipment is hidden.”

“But the monster…”

“It’s not lax enough to be caught by monsters.”

“…I can’t believe it. Then…”

I fell in love with the story of just the two of us. As if Ariel had put in the choo-im-sae well, the second graders started talking excitedly.

It’s just a boring story that I can’t understand.

As he was about to sit back and rest, someone suddenly pinched his side.

“Omg! What?”

When I turned around in surprise, Yuri was staring at me with an angry face.

“Do you have anything to say to me?”

“…Because of what I touched earlier? But with that being said, I don’t have anything to say!”

Yuri frowned her eyebrows, but soon relaxed her expression.

“Whew, what happened? It’s funny to even get angry now. See you when you get back.”

Look at the defeat flag again. I’ve never seen a guy win with such words.

However, Yuri didn’t just talk to cover up the dispute about what happened earlier.

“Look over there.”

The place Yuri pointed to was a forest full of fog.

“Hey, isn’t that where the witch… Lives? It’s a bit strange.”

I was debating whether or not to put a nim character on the back. In fact, he acted like a mouse in front of a cat in front of himself, but since he’s not there, he’s just going to call me.

I snorted and looked in the direction Yuri pointed.

“…Hmm.”

The forest where the witch lives was covered with fog.

A thick fog as if she would not allow anyone to enter. The fog itself was so thick that I wondered if it was emitting white light.

Yuri, who saw her, said as if she was a little worried.

“I don’t know if that’s okay.”

“…I can’t afford to worry about that right now. It’ll be getting dark soon, so if you’re not going to be homeless, you have to go back to the guild quickly.”

“Are you okay?”

“It will be fine. Because the witch… Is a much greater tycoon than we thought.”

The identity of the witch was still unknown, but it was certain that she was a being on a different level from us.

She even released the powers of the holy sword, and even received messages directly from the goddess. Even though it wasn’t a face-to-face like me, it was delivered by the holy sword.

An existence that receives messages directly from the goddess.

I haven’t heard of modern people summoned to another world like me in the past, who I can’t even remember anymore, receiving messages from the goddess.

Such a great person… No, I don’t even know if he’s a person. Anyway, to make such a mess of a witch like that. Come to think of it, she might have risked her life.

…Actually, the witch seems to have enjoyed it too. Maybe that’s what happened? Then again next time…

“What are you thinking about now?”

“Yeah, oh, nothing. Let’s start slowly.”

So we hit the road again.
