Chapter 191 Strongest Sage, Slips Pass I've erased our sounds with soundproof magic, but be careful not to kick a stone. And it looks like there's a demon guarding the passage, we'll decide how to deal with it once we get closer.

Yes!

Got it!

We stealthily progressed through the passage.

Then I saw the passage curving while probing the mana reaction as we walked.

And there's a demon at the end after the corner.

There's only a single demon on the lookout.

We should reach the city once we got pass it and reached the door at the end.

...This is, slipping pass this demon would be a better idea here.

A lone lookout like this usually performs safety checks regularly.

Killing this demon would be the same as telling other demons there's an intruder.

Let's save that as the last resort.

Slip pass... There's only one passage here right? Wouldn't the demon find us just like that...

There's a way if the enemy is alone. I'll cast a spell for that, you girls, walk forward once I give you the signal.

I approach the passage's corner.

A spell to make yourself invisible is enough if you merely needs to deceive a lookout.

Anything would do if it was humans, but we're up against a demon.

Demons with sharp perceptions tasked to stand watch could even detect those who have hidden their body and sounds with magic by slight vibrations on the ground.

I'll be fine on my own, but to let the girls pass here, I've got to meddle with this demon and temporarily cease the demon's perceptions.

And do that in a way that won't get me noticed.

...This is quite far.

From the passage's corner to the demon, it's 40 meters away. Unfortunately, Disqualified Crest cannot send magic through walls.

The passage probably has been structured like this to prevent magic attacks through the walls.

While thinking that, I made myself disappear with magic, and took a step into the section after the corner.

Then I set magic barriers slightly above the ground, and stand on it.

...The demon doesn't seem to notice me at all.

I stealthily approach the demon as such.

When you're in close proximity to a demon, their mana perception is the hardest ability to elude.

If you don't walk with a specific stepping to lower interference on the surrounding mana, simply standing around will expose yourself once you've gotten this close.

Once the demon is within my magic range... I cast a spell called Disturbance.

It's a spell that dulls the target's perceptions for a duration of time.

Ruli and the girls should be able to slip pass the demon without getting found out now.

Now's your chance! ...The demon would notice you if you tread on the ground so walk on the barrier I've put on the passage.

U-understand!
