Chapter 7
Magic
At first I walked around the ruins in so mood
I like ruins
They're romantic
Be it ancient japanese burial mounds, the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, I'd wanted to make a tour around the world to all those relics of history
So I think I'll use this other world and tour ruins as much as I like
”H”
When I tried it, going around it once took about five minutes
Five minutes by foot
Becausea closer look, its out circumference is probably around 250 meters
Roughly the same as the 200 meters track around a sports field?
I'd intended toin, but at this size, I'et lost, am I?
I can do this I think
If it gets dangerous, I can just fall back immediately
Can I really say 'Nahhh, better not' after co all this way?
”Hehee, unfortunately, I'm no coward!”
Unfortunately, huh
Pushed by ic circle at what I assume to be the ruins' front side
I wonder, do they use ic circles?
The one beforefaintly
Is this the entrance?
Since I haven't seen so like a physical entrance into the inside of the ruins, thinking so is natural
For another world
I' to be teleported into the ruins from here
yeah, I'ht, aren't I?
It's not a trap, is it?
I' to burn in the flaic circle?
After getting so far, I'd lost a bit of my nerve, but I nevertheless softly stepped into the circle
It only gently shone
Phew, it didn't suddenly flare up bright enough to destroy my eyes
And while I thought that, I stopped being able to see the scenery outside the circle
I was surrounded by a wall of fleeting, white light, but after a few seconds it died down
The scenery outside has coed
I'm inside now
Is the wall itself out of reen
Be that as it may, I'm clearly inside the ruins
”Fantasy indeed”
Really impressive
I left the s
There didn't seeic circle in the room
I was interested where the corridor led that was visible through the room's one exit
I carefully stuck h the doorway and checked the corridor in both directions
Right, dead end
Left, Mister Bear
””
Hm?
Let's check this once more
Right the corridor ends right there
Left Mister Bear, even closer than before
Level 10 Ruin Bear
The Enemy Status popped up inside my head
”Waaaiii! Level 10!?”
I had already drawn aggro and Mister Bear was charging down the narrow corridor
crapcrapcrapcrap!!
What kind of horror movie is this!
A disasterin comparison!
I can't think any huing at theht
No objections allowed!
So, time for a tactical retreat
I hurried back into the rooic circle
———but nothing happened
”I really didn't want such jokes right NOOOOOOW!!!!”
What's with this piece-of-junk ic circle, did it break!?
What!?
What's going on here!?
don't tell me!
Entrance and exit are not the same!?
To get out of here, I have to find the exit ic circle, is that it!?
”Grrrrr”
Mister Bear quietly planted himself in the exit
Now I had no way to leave or fall back, my last stand was complete
For an instant I considered playing dead
But if I do that, I ht very well really die, so let's not try
While shedding cold sweat, I graspedRod
If I hit the bear with this thing's lightning strike, even it shouldn't come out unscathed
I'd slip past that front paw and hit him
I can do it, I can do it
I just need to tell myself that
Concentrate
Probably, one hit will result in instant death
Even if it's only knowledge from modern japan, but I've heard that, for example, an Asian black bear can pulverize a horse's or cow's neck with one hit from its front paws
Or that some famous hed and declared that it was impossible for humans to do
I dare say he was right!
Sweat ran down my cheek
The bear planted himself before its prey
I-is this the i, bipedal stance bears are famous for?
Being treated to it in person, no way to deal with bears ca at all
Anyhow, I need to take the initiative!
