Chapter 211
“Light Ball”
It’s a magic tool that, as its name suggests, emits light when it’s filled with magic energy .
It’s as big as a pebble you can easily grip .
Fwooshh!
The light ball is thrown through a gap in the noise wall .
The direction where they were thrown was towards the four cardinal directions .
The throwing distances were also divided from near to far .
The area where these balls of light fall increases in brightness .
There’s no problem even if the monsters in the vicinity would become attracted to the light source .
After all, there’s no way that any monster in this area can beat me .
Rather than those monsters——- It’s to detect the movements of that unidentified “being” .
This was our first priority .
I, Ruin, had already made my vow .
That I would completely abandon any half-heartedness towards this adversary .
Everyone was currently filled with anxiousness .
“Let’s have fun . ”
Yes, I wanted to say that .
However, now isn’t the time to say such things .
We’re facing our first ever critical situation that our group, Heroic Sword, had faced……
I looked at Satsuki’s corpse which was still stuck in the middle of the opening of the noise wall .
Constantly looking at it, I quickly turned my gaze away and returned my awareness back to the enemy .
In the short amount of time, we’ve already lost two people .
Strife .
Satsuki .
There’s also four people who I don’t know whether they’re dead or alive .
Toad .
Bardwitcher .
Caro .
Nana Tout .
Before I knew it, I’m only certain about the safety of 4 people .
That’s already less than half of the number of my group .
[Isn’t it dangerous to launch ourselves here, Ruin?]
Yuugungu asked while he was leaning his body against the wall and peeking through a gap .
[My intuition tells me that it’s a bad idea to let the enemy perceive our “whole body” . ]
In fact, it seems like the enemy couldn’t make their attack .
I can’t imagine the reason why though .
However, it’s probably necessary for us to go on the offensive .
My guess is that it has something to do with perceiving our “whole body”——- or something close to it in the enemy’s field of vision .
(Is the enemy one of those people said in legends? The users of mystic eyes?)
There’s no way that’s the case .
I’ve never even heard of the mystic eyes in my adventures .
After all, legends would just be legends .
Everyone was feeling a bit suffocated .
Our nerves are always strained, trying to detect even the slightest movement .
[……I guess being unable to attack would also go for our group as well huh . ]
We would need a long-range weapon that can be fired from the inside .
Fortunately, we have bows and arrows .
Right now, Yuugungu and Arene have switched their weapons to bows and arrows .
The other way that we could use to attack from the inside was with a magic tool for attack magic .
Myana is exactly holding such a magic tool that has a form of a staff .
As for me—— I have Satsuki’s katana in hand .
I could use it as a throwing weapon .
I tightly gripped the hilt of the katana .
Grip!
(I’ll be using this, Satsuki…… Also, I’ll definitely scrape Nyaki’s ears off with this katana…… I promise you!)
