73 [64] Captive spirits.txt (2/2)

'Surprised? I'm sure you're right. After all, even the person who set it up is surprised.

”You, sir, what are you...?

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

It's all thanks to Rosalia-sama's power. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you can do with it.

”Weakening of the spirits of our...”?

Enduring an uncomfortable sensation that they had never experienced before, Siyu and Hartia gradually retreated.

There was no way the man in the small tent didn't notice them, and he drew his sword that was propped up against the wall and walked up to them while pointing it at them.

I'm sure your people are being hunted all over the camp by now. Yeah, we won't kill you, so don't look so scared. You've got a lot of energy to supply, you know.

They want us.

Yes, it's easy to get caught, isn't it?

'Oh, don't get me wrong? You are the appetizer before we capture the spirit animal.

”?

Sheil and Hartia's expressions intensified at once.

(The purpose of these guys is the spirit beasts (Hinori and the others)... in other words, the village of the spirits (us)! Somehow, I have to tell everyone about this...)

”Ugh! Earth Fury.

”Whoa!

””Wow!”

Sheil's magic, released while suppressing the discomfort that ran through his entire body, violently shook the earth around himself.

As if they didn't expect resistance in their weakened state, shouts of agitation rose from the man and the soldiers who were surrounding the outside of the tent.

''Hartia, over here!''

”Yes, sir!

The two desperately move their feet while holding their chests in anguish as the soldiers are trapped by the shaking ground and unable to run properly.

Outside the tent, the spirits, who were struck by a sense of emptiness just like the two of them, were resisting with all their might against the soldiers who were trying to capture them.

However, the weakened spirits were unable to push back the soldiers, and they were gradually being trapped and captured.

''Shiyu-san! Everyone! Ugh... help, we have to help!

Don't speak!

(Sorry, everyone. The purpose of these guys is to reward the village at all costs!)

Gritting his teeth at abandoning his family, Siuil took Hartia's arm and kept running.

Just when they were about to leave the camp soon, multiple shadows stood in front of them.

(Kook! I'm almost there...!)

In front of them, the soldiers are slowly approaching to hunt down their prey.

And in the rear...

'I didn't think you could do magic in that state. It wasn't possible in the preliminary experiments. Well, let's just say we got some good data.

They were in the tent, that man standing there.

The emptiness that had overtaken them both seemed to be eating away at their bodies more than the girls thought, and they couldn't seem to be able to pull away that much.

''Now, if all else fails, I'd appreciate it if you could catch me quietly?

I still have a few options. Earthshaker!

Soldiers braced themselves for Sheil's magic, wary of it.

The magic power released makes countless cracks in the ground and leaps up at its target as she wills.

''...Eh?''

The one who was thrown into the air- -Hartia could only widen her eyes at the unexpected event.

It seemed that the soldiers were the same, and they were unable to move while following Hartia with their eyes as she flew past them and toward the rear.

''What are you doing! Catch it quick!

It is a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

''Siyu-sa...!

”Heartier, hurry up and report this to my village. I'll buy as much time as I can.

In addition to the unknown emptiness, Siyu, who had consumed enough magic power to fluctuate the terrain on a small scale, was out of breath.

It's very hard to believe that they can fight properly against the soldiers in front of them.

''But...''

Let's go!

What?

Hartia was hesitant about running away without her family, but her body trembled for a moment at the spirited command, and then she flew away with a sad expression on her face.

Sheil, who sensed the signs of Hartia's distance from her over her back, slightly broke out in her cheeks.

(Magic... one or two more shots are the limit, huh? Well, that's fine. As long as Heartia returns to the village, everyone else will manage the rest.)

The man in the tent seems to be indignant for catching and missing the spirit (prey), and he seems to be shouting something, but it doesn't enter Siyu's ears at all.

(Sorry, guys. I'll take care of the rest, Vilm.)

The emptiness that consumed his body remained the same, but the discomfort that crawled through his entire body was gone before he knew it.
