Chapter 50 (1/2)

—After 2 days.

After finis.h.i.+ng preparing we together with 5 《Rakshadian》 elite mages set forth towards the underground pa.s.sage below the 《ancient Library》.

「But you know, who knew there was a place like this under the library」 Kazuha

I utter to Tao while leading the expedition.

「I too am a from here but… even in the ancient times this place was surrounded with puzzles… And it’s not like finding a 『secret underground pa.s.sage』 is surprising」 Tao

Hee, is that so?

「Even so this cave has a weird atmosphere surrounding it… I’ve been feeling something weird from the heart of this cave…」 Ruru

Said Ruru who’s following Tao.

「P-please don’t suddenly say such scary things, Ruru-chan…! I’m not very good in dealing with these kind of conversation…!」 Tao

So you’re a former thief afraid of a ghost…

Didn’t you guys did lots of damage to graves…?

「It seems like … the people from the back are properly following. But whatever the case, this is a very small place…」 Ruru

The smallest girl expressed that the underground pa.s.sage was 『small』.

For some reason, if we were to further open the 『sealed door』, the place would pretty much widen or not…

Ah, by the way we’re walking the underground pa.s.sage in a line.

I’m the one in the front followed by Tao, Ruru, 5 mages, Selen and Rei proceeding like a train.

「Ah. I think I see something」 Kazuha

I point the torch forward, and see a door with some weird crest carved on it.

「Aah, mage-san! Is this it?」 Kazuha

I call upon the 5 mages behind Ruru. (1)

And then baton pa.s.s.

「…Is it ok? After unsealing this the a fearful demon will appear and attack. Please prepare yourself…」 Mage

「Yup, I think we’re all good. Cause we’re stupidly strong」 Kazuha

「I-I see… Now then… Here we go!」 Mage

The mages chant magic at once, and then fires it toward the door.

And at the same time a flock of big black snakes crawl out of the door with staggering vigor.

「Here it comes—–! Here comes the giant snakes———-!!」

『GYAOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooonnn!!!!』

My delight and the snakes’ roar echoed within the cave.

「Tao, Ruru I’m counting on the both of ya. Hey! Both of you at the back! Can I destroy this thing myself–!」 Kazuha

「… My, my? The door is open, huh! Kazuha-samaa!!」 Rei

「… d.a.m.n, It’s so small that I can’t see! Do something about those snakes by yourself, Kazuha!」 Selen

Yeah.

In a way, it’s amazing, us the mercenary party.

「Hii…! H-hurry and defeat that demon…!」 Mage
