103 [93] Unknown ruins.txt (2/2)

(A mechanism that reacts to magic, huh? But what does it mean that she didn't feel anything until Mel touched it...?)

The fact that Virum, who has outstanding magical ability, couldn't detect the trick suggests that the person who created this ruin has skills equal to or greater than his.

Although Virum was already in a state of alert, he was unconsciously intrigued by Meldina's guidance, perhaps because of her trustworthy guide.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

For Meldina, it was a place she had visited before, but for Virum, it was an unknown place.

He was on alert and tried to take the lead to protect her, but it turned out to be a bad idea.

There was a dry sound of clicks from underneath Virum's feet as he was walking forward.

''...I'm sorry.''

Countless magic arrows appeared above Virum's head as he apologized with an indescribable expression from his own bypass and the pettiness of being caught in a trap.

(A physical activation trap right after the door that reacts to magic power? The creators here are well aware of the intruder's psychology.)

Although he himself was in a state of alert, his consciousness couldn't help but wander that way, as it was right after he saw the entrance that was unfolding in response to the highly concealed magical power.

''Vil!

Meldina, who hadn't yet entered, tried to reach out to help Virum, but she was blocked by what looked like a transparent barrier that must have appeared at the same time as the trap was activated.

''Lie! I didn't have anything like this in my time!

Apparently, Meldina in the past had been caught in the same trap.

Virum, who felt a strange sense of relief at that, couldn't help but chuckle.

In the next moment, countless magic arrows rained down on the target (Virum), but........

Calm down, Mel. It's something to do...

He was about to retreat or move forward, and with a dancing motion, he dispatched her dangerously.

The reason Virum stepped forward now is because he was concerned that the stray arrows wouldn't be directed at Meldina, who was behind him, in case he forgot that there was a barrier in front of her, but if he hadn't forgotten that there was a barrier in front of her, he would have been too mindful.

Not long after, all the magic arrows were neutralized and disappeared, and at the same time, the invisible barriers disappeared as well.

''Vil! Are you hurt?!

I'm fine. More importantly, I'm sorry for going off on my own. I'm sorry.

Meldina runs up to him, looking worried, and Vilm scratches the back of his neck as if he were in a bad mood.

It's good to know. I'll tell you where the traps are, so you don't have to move around without permission.

All right. I'll keep that in mind.

And yet...

Relieved that Wyrm was safe, Meldina sat down where the magic arrow trap's activation switch was located.

''There was no barrier like that when I was first trapped. Well, if the barrier had come up then, I wouldn't be in this world now...''

''Stepping on this part of the body will bring out the Magic Arrow from earlier... I guess I can use it to train for evasion. Maybe I'll throw Oma in there next time.

Don't do that, okay?

Meldina softly stops Virum from mentioning the horrible training methods that could lead to death if he makes the slightest mistake.

Perhaps Oma should thank her for saving his life for the second time.
