Chapter 895: In the Demon Realms City ⑨ (1/2)

Cento and Cien were discussing how to find Kaito so that they could greet him and apologize for troubling him.

[The city is too big to randomly search for him……]

[Don't worry, we can just use Wide-Area Detection Magic.]

[Wide-Area Detection? I've heard that Miyama Kaito-sama's blessing from Shallow Vernal nullifies most magic though……]

Hearing Cien mention searching Detection Magic, Cento tilted her head and asked.

[In that case, we can just track that Elf that's with him.]

[I see! In that case, I'm counting on you, Cien.]

[Unnn, leave it to me.]

Even though they're twins, Cento and Cien have their own magic systems they specialize in, and Cien is basically better at using Wide-Area Detection Magic. After nodding with a smile to Cento's words about leaving the Wide-Area Detection to her, Cien created a magic circle around her feet and attempted to cast Wide-Area Detection Magic————– ”but she immediately fell to her knees after”.

[Cien!? What's wrong!? Are you alright!?]

[…….Urkkk…… Khaaakk……]

Seeing Cien collapse on her knees, pale and profusely sweating, Cento rushed over to her.

[I- I forgot…… That person stands beside Miyama Kaito-sama……]

[Cien? What in the world……]

[The moment I activated the Detection Magic, before I could get any information, ”they interfered with my magic formula and forcibly canceled it”, and even ”traced it back to me”…… T- Their technique was on another level that before I knew it, I felt like a knife was being held to my neck…… Scary……]

[Eh? T- That means……]

Cien is one of the most powerful beings in the world, considered superior even among Count-ranks, and for her to describe someone as being on another level, considering their current situation, Cento immediately guessed what was going on.

As if to affirm her thoughts, a high-pitched voice came from behind them.

[Well, sorry about that. I knew it would be you two, but I just reacted on reflex. What happened earlier wasn't intentional.]

[ [ ! ? ] ]

The two of them couldn't help but straighten their backs…… As for being that easily appeared behind them without being noticed by two high Count-ranks, they don't need to hear the sound of chains in their robe to know who it is.

[……P- Phantasmal King-sama.]

[B- By no means d- do we mean any harm……]
