74-74 Ill pari the blue light (1/2)

...... What's up?　You're not coming back?

Sets ............ Sets ......[Saves] ────

[moment]. [moment]. [Momentary] Sigil.

I was a little confused in front of the six of them who were gradually talking less and less.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

...... Sorry, we're going to have a little talk here. Do you mind?

Yeah, yeah.

The six of them gathered in one place and began to have some sort of strategy meeting in a low voice.

This is about the third time they've done this.

...... Hey, what's going on?

I'm sure you're not the only one.

Is the Sixth Saint really this strong ......?

...... No matter what, it's crazy.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

Oh, he's not even showing his full potential yet. ............

Your eminence wants us to take him alive. ......?

No, from my point of view, he's probably even better than the Six Saints.

I didn't know that guy was still in obscurity. ......

They seemed to be discussing something seriously, but even through their masks, you could see a hint of fatigue.

The combination of the two women's magic, the four men's sword and spear attacks, and the intricate coordination of these attacks, the hospitality they showed was remarkable, and at first, they attacked us with a sense of breathlessness... At first, they attacked us in a breathtakingly good way, but ... after all, they seemed to be tired after performing so many brilliant acrobatics in a row.

They performed completely different tricks at every turn, and I was really starting to enjoy it, but ...... I guess they were about to run out of material.

I've gotten so overzealous that I've poked a lot of holes in the ground. ...... Maybe it's time to move on.

”Sigil. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

...... You don't have to do this.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

Oh, ......, sorry, looks like we're done here.

No, you have nothing to apologize for. It was a lot of fun.

No need to apologize.

I thanked him, and the man in the strange armor sighed and put his twin swords, which had been slightly chipped by the black swords, in their sheaths at his waist.

”...... Let me ask you something. How strong are you in the kingdom?

”...... Me?

To be honest, I'm probably on the weak side.

I don't know much about you, but I'm sure there are a lot of people stronger than me.

Why do you ask?

I see.

With that, Sigil turned his back on me.

...... Let's take a break.

Sigil. Are you disobeying your high priest's orders?

Don't get me wrong.

We were only ordered to capture him.

We just need to get into position and try again.

But ────

What are our chances of winning?　It's ...... frustrating, but I think it's pretty clear now.

”Tsk. ...... Okay. It's a shame, but it's the mission. Let's ask Leyva to help us.

You're just gonna leave him here?

Yeah. Even if someone stays, who's gonna stop it?

And he can't get out of here on his own.

It's probably best to leave him here.

...... There's nothing else we can do.

”............ You're really pathetic. The Twelve Saints.

When Sigil and the others were discussing something together again, they called out to me.

”Hey, [Stake].

We'll go get some people.

You stay here and wait quietly.

...... okay?　Don't move.

Even though we've already done a lot of research, there are still some traps out here that are still alive.

...... Yeah?　Okay.

They gave me a warning and went back the way they came.

It looks like I'm going to be left here. ...... Are they still going to entertain me?

They are really serious people. I'm telling you, you don't have to do this.

Well, they say they'll bring people, and I guess I'll just wait here.

”...... Hey, why is he so straightforward ......?

...... is a little creepy. Does he really know what's going on ......?

And, hey, Sigil, ...... if he goes down there on his own, can you be responsible?

...... There are multiple layers of warding installed by His Eminence himself.

No one can get through that thing. If you touch it, you'll die instantly.

Yeah, that's true, but ......

I don't know if ...... is the 'evil' we should be slaying in the first place.

I don't think so.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

Are you questioning your eminence ......'s orders?

I'm just checking. I'll ask your eminence about the true meaning of the capture.

And so I was left alone in the open space.

............ Stay where you are, huh?

When I looked around, I saw a lot of interesting things.

Some of them looked like stone monuments made of materials I had never seen before, and if you looked closely at the floor, you could see strange shaped coins that sometimes fell out of the stones.

To be honest, this is unknown territory for me, and I feel like looking around right now.

But I think I'll follow their advice here.

They say this is an old labyrinth.

They say there are still living traps, and it wouldn't do much good to touch anything.

That's good enough for me.

I looked around and found a stone of the right shape right next to me.

Not that I was tired, but I decided to sit on it and wait, to calm down a little from the excitement of their hospitality.

After all, I had a history of stepping through traps that were supposed to be inoperable in the warehouse that used to be part of the labyrinth. I really thought I was going to die that time. .......

It would be a problem for them and for the leaners if they were to come to a foreign country and accidentally set off a trap.

You have to be really careful not to touch anything weird.

So, as I carried the black sword on my shoulder and sat down on the square stone, I heard a ──── thud from somewhere.

”────────?
