Immortal Sage

When we left the curtain building, we hurried to join the Sizkas and left the Reisl Royal Army formation.

We can't transfer in public, so we head to the unpopular Raisle Kingdom side and do everything we can.

"What's happening?

To Canade's question, me and Holly talk about the worst assumptions.

"Could have been turned into a hunting ground for the Veredas."

"Humans… no, it's a possibility of soul hunting"

Yes, Vereda and the others' foreign laws are objects that transform the human soul into their own magic and vitality.

Holly and I are assuming the worst possibility that we've been working together to strengthen our battles before our confrontation.

"Fuck you!

The unpleasant feeling that I was feeling, and the addition of specific assumptions there, irritated Mark.

When you can directly help the people than you can belong to the military, the look on Mark and Julia's face, who chose the path of the adventurer, comes with haste and frustration.

As yet, our assumptions have not been confirmed, but the rest of us are naturally disgusted with their outward journey.

"It's time to transfer!

Around the time I crossed some of the hills with a full force of sickness, Sizka came after exploring the signs around me to encourage a metastasis.

"First, in a village close to the border!

Holly designated the destination to be audible to everyone as the magic formation of the metastasis spread beneath her feet.

We need to be alert to the current situation where the destination is not known, and to bowl in with Vereda and the others at the same time as the transfer.

From Holly's short words, they were all reading the intent.

When we infiltrated the Las Gakans Empire, the last village in the Coral kingdom we passed.

A village near the border but peaceful with some pastoral atmosphere......

The landscape in the eye remains as it was at that time, and no traces, etc. of the attack on the building, etc. can be seen.

Such sentiments were pulverized shortly after a magical search, including around the village.

"There are no people..."

"If he was abducted, there are no traces..."

Kodama and Kagame wrinkle their eyebrows as they look at the village.

If the villagers have evacuated, there are likely to be traces of food, etc., but no such traces can be seen in the landscape in view.

"Do you notice the remnants of the strange magic?

Likewise, Holly tells everyone with a wrinkled look between her eyebrows.

Yes, the remnants of that magic came from earlier, very unpleasantly stimulating my senses.

"That's a trail that activated some pretty massive magic..."

"Hey, what's that!?

From the look on our faces, we asked Mark to confirm that the worst had happened.

"There is a high probability that the people of this village have already..."

Chris answers that question clouding his expression at the discomfort he feels from the remnants of his magic...

"Failure to detect enough magic to leave all this residue prevented interference with the outside world in a fairly large junction?

Holly shrugged as she continued her discussion with a reluctant look.

Originally, was it the type of magic that interfered within the bond, or was it a magical exercise after bonding without divulging magic...

Although small villages, their inability to sense the magic that interferes on this scale demonstrates their magical anomaly.

"And anyway, what's going on in the surrounding village!

Sizka spoke to us who were caught thinking about it.

That word brings us back to reality.

"Over there!

Unexpectedly, Mark points west and runs out.

We rushed out, believing in the wild and the sense of Mark Holly was expressing.

I see a village across the field that has just finished harvesting wheat.

Having already confirmed the same situation in the two villages, we kept running down the road connecting the village to the village.

"Kagami, how did the villagers react!?

Sizka checks the situation with Kagame, who runs while exploring magic,

"I have a reaction..."

Let the ambiguous answer call for haste.

Next to that exchange between the two of them, me and Holly were strictening their expressions with certainty about what was going to happen.

I remember this reaction...

It's a forest near the imperial capital of the Las Gakhan Empire, Lentool, and it's so uncomfortable that I hated it.

"They're waiting!

Everyone stopped legging at my scream.

"Where!?

"Calm down, that village is already a trap to intercept us!

At the same time as he stopped his legs, Mark, who laid his hand on the sword, asked around him, but Holly, who controlled it, told him with a glance at the village that looked forward.

One word Holly told us about the 'trap' reminds everyone of the battle near Rent All.

That meant the worst possible result that villagers who had already eaten their souls and were considered immortals (undead) were waiting.

"Didn't make it...?

Chris squeaks in a trembling voice,

"No more casualties!

Mark scolded Wong for saying that it was more important not to increase the number of victims any further than the tragedy that had already happened.

As Mark says, it's only after they've been wiped out that I feel like a soul quencher.

Those who have sacrificed themselves need to be freed from being tied to their foreign laws...
