28 [1-28] Traces of evil dreams (1/2)

The moon was obscured by snow clouds in the deadly darkness.

Three horsemen, holding up magical lights, rode along the snow-covered road.

They looked like something between a polar bear and a deer, with large horns and rich white fur. They are domesticated wendigos, a type of demon with a mild temperament. They are suitable for riding in the snow and have much more stamina than horses.

The Wendigo is ridden by three adventurers who wear warm clothes over their gear. They are all members of the Dragon's Throat, except for Iris.

But that's strange, I thought it was definitely a jammer that made the reaction disappear. How did you solve it?

Why did it go away? If you're traveling along an old road where you won't be seen, you can use the jammer without hesitation.

You know. Maybe you dropped it and broke it or something.　It's rather fragile.

Deanna and Hugh are talking to each other as they drive the Wendigo along.

The three of them had followed Deanna's search, sensing that Iris' body was moving along the old road.

When they reached Vine, the search spell stopped working for a moment. It was hopeless to find and catch up with him. However, when they searched again after a short time, they found a response around the old road to the neighboring territory.

The three of them gave up almost all of their party assets to hire a cavalry beast for the chase. Although they were high-class beasts, they were able to scrounge up at least three of them in the mercantile city of Vonnegut.

And the three of them are running down the old road in the snow.

Wait!

Benedict, who was leading the way, suddenly shouted and stopped the Wendigo.

What's wrong?

I smell blood. ......

Benedict's words made Diana turn bloodthirsty.

Whose blood do you smell?

Calm down, it's a human man. Maybe he's an adult, maybe he's more than one .......

I'm not sure if it's Iris' blood or not.

At least it's not Iris' blood.

But that's only a consolation. I'm sure there's been some bloodshed down the road.

Iris......, I hope you're okay.

Hurry up. I can't see a thing, so keep your eyes open for anything that might pop up.

Copy that.

Needless to say.

Slowing down slightly, the three of them started running again.

But not long after, Deanna groaned on the Wendigo.

”......... ......!

Deanna presses her chest. The Wendigo sensed something wrong with its rider and slowed down, and the remaining two also noticed Deanna's condition.

”Deanna?

What's wrong?

Deanna opens her hand that was holding her breasts.

Deanna opened her hand, which was holding her breasts, and saw that underneath her winter coat, the cleavage of her monk's robe, which encased her ample breasts, was smeared with blood.

”Hey, there's blood .......

It's not a problem, it's kind of a constitutional thing. ...... Oh, for heaven's sake!

Deanna clicked her tongue and pulled out a knife as if she had thought of something.

She then slits the chest of the monk's robe.

This startled Benedict and Hugh a little. Benedict and Hugh were a little surprised by this, as she had never bared her skin except for her hands, left leg and face. They had assumed that this was due to some kind of precept, since she did not show her skin not only to Benedict and his men, but also to Iris.

The graceful curves of her breasts were exposed.

There was a pattern engraved on it that looked like part of a magic circle. Blood was oozing from it.

Deanna jumped off the Wendigo and walked around it, tracing the pattern. Then she pointed to the side of the road where the snow was piled up like a heap.

”There's a bunch of people buried down there who recently died a horrible death.

”Oh, ......?　Do you know what that is?

Yeah. Yeah, that's the one.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

Deanna's fingertips emit a magical light. A torrent of silver danced and assembled into a series of blades.

It had been broken up into several accessories, but now it was a silver whip with a long, barbed chain attached to a holy seal-like handle.

This is the first time that I've ever seen such a thing.

This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

Dozens of bands of light shot out from the silver whip's light trail.
