Volume 5 Chapter 9 (1/2)
5-9 Shadow and Magician
Satou's here The one who's weak to horror movie, Satou
I'host or apparition, but I'ot into spasms in terror
◇
The enes up comes from the direction of the owl just before
Appearing froure of a person wearing black robe I can't see its face because its wearing a hood and long sleeves
”I've come to pick you, Mia”
Mia who's beside
”No”
This ician The owl fro on the man's shoulder Is it a pet or a familiar?
I put myself to protect Mia behind h at 41 Skill is--- [Unknown]
This unpleasant feeling, is he the same kind as Arisa and the heroes?
While agitated I continue to read his status--- What is this?! Skill [Unknown] also appears there
Mia is tre behind me
I can roughly understand the details This guy is too dangerous for anyone but me Let's deal with him carefully It seems impossible, but I'd like to settle this with discussion if possible
”Nice to ician-dono I'm Satou, a merchant”
”I don't have business with someone like a merchant”
The ician doesn't seem like he'd even bother to introduce himself
I wonder if it's because he looks down on merchants or he just has low communication skill
”Even if you don't, I have a duty to protect this girl I won't pass her to a suspicious man”
”Fuenerous and skillful mercenaries, but if they stand before me it will become a bloodbath, do you understand?”
Thehis back bent
”It's no good! Master, this guy is too strong”
Arisa warned me from behind
”I aood that you know your place, but trashes don't have any place to call uy'”
This is bad, the ician's attention is directed toward Arisa
”■■■■ ■――”
The ic toward Arisa
I don't want to leave Mia, but I can't afford not to now I rush toward the ician, and strike his stomach with my fist
But the strike is unable to stop the ician's robe, but there is no response at all Is it this guy's unique skill?
”---Shadow Whip”
When the ician finishes his chant, shadow stretches froe toward Arisa Is that the shadohip?
I'ician, and I cut myself between the shadohip and Arisa
I block the shadoith my whole body The shadohip coils around my body, at that time I feel some small pricks
>[Shadow Magic Skill Acquired]
>[Shadow Resistance Skill Acquired]
What do you mean with shadow resistance
Ah, it's been a while since my scientific blood denies the fantasy
But I' from this trouble
I feel like the resistance skill will be of small importance in this situation, but let's increase the chance to protect Mia even if only a little
I allocate points to shadow resistance and activate it
◇
”Fumu, that's an unbelievable body Are you really a merchant?”
”A friend of mine calls me nimble merchant”
From behind our conversation, I can hear Arisa whimper
”It's useless, it really didn't work”
Did Arisa counterattack when the ic power decreased for a bit There is absolutely no change to the ician, he probably has resistance
”To put yourself in front of a woman to protect them from my attack, you have my praise”
”If you admire me then won't you back down?”
”That's a different story Mia is needed to achieve oal”
I'm finally able to free ives es but it had no substance and no reaction so I couldn't tear it off Yet it could be used to restrain thing, some fantasy substance it is
”What is your goal?”
”There is noa hero along”
”Do you have soes on heroes?”
Theup the sky
Accohter, countless shadohips appear from his feet Does the spell earlier retain its effect?
It's going to abduct Mia who stands listlessly If physical attack isn't working then how about ic attack
I take out uns from the pocket, equip them on both hands, and set the power scale to the MAX
For souy's level, this much probably won't kill him
”Way off the mark”
Following the ic whips expand toward me and Mia
I intercept the shadohips with the uns feels like a chuunibyou from somewhere, I don't like it
It's working
I succeeded in destroying every ic whips that had went toward Mia, while I let the one that came toward me to coil itself on me I wasn't able to destroy them all as expected
”Those are quite good weapons”
”Is that so? If you leave Mia alone then I will give you one, how about it?”
While offering the trade to the ic guns
