Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World - Chapter 47
The Elf and the Ancient Ruin
” Dividing Slash.” (Sheila)
Katana Special Rank Protection of The Forest G.o.d Concentration of Mind Iai Mind’s Eye: Dividing Slash. (TLN: The name in raw )
The moment the blade was swung, something was torn apart as if there was no resistance and it got scattered as it was.
Even if Sheila was wondering with a strange response, it didn’t change the fact that it was defeated.
If that was the case, there would be no problem. Looking for the next prey, Sheila looked around, but she soon realized that there was no need for that.
“Hmmm although it was a bit rus.h.i.+ng, there seems to be no problem.” (Soma)
Despite of saying so, the one who didn’t look around carefully was Soma, of course.
What they had confirmed earlier were three similar monsters in this spot, but the moment these monsters were defeated, all monsters in the area were completely annihilated.
He nodded as he was expecting it However, it seemed that everyone else wasn’t convinced.
“Are you saying that there was no problem?” (Aina)
“Hmm? By any chance, do you mean that there was a problem?” (Soma)
“I think there is a problem, and it is right in front of us?” (Aina)
“In front of us, is it? I can only see the ruin wall before my eyes” (Lina)
“Hmmm, I also the same.” (Soma)
“Yes, me too.” (Sheila)
“So, you think that the problem is the ruin walls before us! Although we talked about the wait and see approach, we suddenly have to fight monsters, you know!?” (Aina)
“No To be honest, it is also troublesome for me” (Soma)
Although Soma made an expression as if he was really in trouble, he thought that this matter was understandable.
As a matter of fact, there was a problem in the present situation, but it wasn’t Soma’s responsibility to solve that.
“Even if I expected such a thing, I can’t predict a movement trap after five steps of walking.” (Sirius)
“That is for certain yes.” (Aina)
Yes, they were supposed to wait and see, but Sheila and others were fighting monsters. There was no way to exit in the surroundings too as the wall of ruins spread on both sides. These situations happened the moment they stepped into the ruin.
The entrance to the ruin was a gate, but from thereupon, it was a pa.s.sage.
The walls on both sides were about five meters tall, and the width was also about five meters.
They could see a corner on the deeper part, but they couldn’t find any on the sideways.
Rather than a ruin, this place was even like a labyrinth.
While it might be a little worrisome because of having such a thought, Sheila stepped in there by following Soma, and on the second and then, as Soma had said earlier, they counted the fifth step.
The foot suddenly s.h.i.+ned, and there was a magic formation underneath.
It was already too late to escape in a hurry, and as the field of vision fluctuated in a moment, and something was there in the next moment.
There was a wall in front of them, and when they looked on the left and right, they couldn’t find the exit.
Sheila judged that it was a movement trap because she had entered labyrinth several times, so she had experience on that part.
Soma also noticed it at the same time because he might have the experience on this too, but that didn’t matter for the time being.
Anyhow, they were blown somewhere in the labyrinth, and when they realized it, they were attacked by monsters.
And then, they killed it, and that was what happened at the present time.
“Well, as expected, I think that it is unavoidable” (Lina)
“Yes, it is an accident.” (Sheila)
“Uh aah, it’s me, actually I did that sorry.” (Aina)
“Well, I understand what you want to say, so don’t worry about it.” (Soma)
It seemed Aina’s apology was accepted as Soma bitterly smiled because he really understood that feeling.
Well, although they were prepared for a bit about this, this was somehow unexpected.
Even if she was disturbed, it couldn’t be helped.
Rather, it would unusual for Soma’s to be calm in this situation.
“By the way, what are we going to do now? For now, we don’t even know which the way is out.” (Lina)
“Yes, I think we should aim for the exit first if possible, but there is no sign of it, so Nope, there is one, isn’t it!?” (Aina)
“Hmm? Have you found something?” (Soma)
“Up there! If you climb the wall, you know where we are right now! It’s slightly high, but Soma can climb it right?” (Aina)
“Hmmm when I think about climbing, I think that I surely can do it, but” (Soma)
“What is it? Is there a problem?” (Aina)
“Yeah wait a sec. I need something suitable aah, this one.” (Soma)
While saying so, the thing that Soma picked up from the ground was a piece of a small stone.
“What are going to do with that?” (Lina)
“Well, look at this. If my judgment is not wrong Here I go.” (Soma)
“? Why are you throwing that ehhh!?” (Aina)
“Eh!? It’s gone!?” (Lina)
Aina and Lina made a surprise voice because the stone that Soma threw above seemed to have disappeared at the top wall.
Moreover, rather than being crushed, it gave an impression as if it disappeared somewhere.
Or it might be that the stone got out of sight.
“Yes the s.p.a.ce in the sky is distorted.” (Sheila)
“Oh, Sheila is not surprised, huh? Did you expect that?” (Soma)
“Yes. Although there is such a trap at the entrance, it is impossible to escape by climbing the wall.” (Sheila)
“I see.” (Soma)
“Hmm It feels like both of you understand each other.” (Lina)
“Well, I would say that this is because of experience. I also think both of you can do it too.” (Soma)
That meant that Soma already had the experience, but throwing away the thought earlier, Sheila tilted the head again.
Although he said ‘that didn’t matter’ earlier she became more concern.
Judging from the appearance, Soma was obviously a child like the other two.
In terms of appearance, Sheila was also about the same, but she was an Elf.
Even though she might look like a child, it wasn’t the same because she had live for nearly 30 years.
Well, since the Elves grew much slower than Human, eventually, they would look about the same, but Sheila was aware that her skills were premature even among such Elves,
She thought that Lina and Aina were also matured, so it was as a matter of course when it came to Soma.
However, if she considered that fact from their present group members, it seemed Soma was the only one who lost a part or two of his mind.
Rather than premature aging, he seemed like an old fas.h.i.+oned person.
She wondered what kind of experience he had.
Maybe Aina and Lina knew about him. Unfortunately, even though Sheila became interested the more she heard, she wasn’t a proactive person.
In the end of the day, the fact didn’t really matter to her.
Sheila knew that Soma was a reliable person, and she also know that their purposes were the same.
Then, it was good enough for me.
Well, if possible, she would like to hear about the reason why he wanted to use magic, but she still felt that it was too early to ask.
After all, it wasn’t unreasonable if she didn’t, and let Soma to tell the reason himself.
However, she didn’t have the courage to say that.
Nonetheless, she had no right reason to ask
“Hmm for the time being, shall we proceed appropriately? There is no clue here anyway.” (Soma)
Sheila wondered if it was to have that kind of talk someday. While thinking so, she also progressed after Soma started walking
