Chapter 49 Strategy

“It’s not going to work.”

Gerard shakes off the big sword’s blood coat. In that sweep, all the blood that adhered to the sword falls to the floor, and the Demon sword, ‘Dainsleif’ regains its original radiance. [TN: I am not sure about the sword’s name this is the raw ダーインスレイヴ]

“Summoning behind the enemy, immediate attack from there…… The magic flow at the summoning is the knot, as with the light of the magic flow, there is a possibility that you can be perceived by magic sense, the timing is also difficult.”

“Well, it may be interesting to use it with concealment”

What I did for the previous two people is a surprise attack using the summoning technique. When the masked man, Hope, came in here, I summoned Gerard right behind the subordinate. He quickly got rid of it by attacking immediately.

In addition, by covering the entire entry in the B-Class green magic [Silent wind wall], it blocks the transmission of sound to and from the entrance. By casting this silent wind wall no matter what noise it produces, it will never be transmitted to the outside. Hope was not able to notice it when the child was knocked down.

“Hey, how long are we gonna wait here? I’m tired.”

It was Sera who complained like a gangster.

“Even though you had been fighting with high spirits all the while!　Silent wind wall was really nice to put up … … Well, it is like the last two people are coming to this entrance. We’re about to start from here.”

I scanned the Black Wind hideout with a sign detection skill and check the enemy’s approximate placement. Some of them were captured by the Black Wind. I seem there is a sign that has not moved one step on the map.

“What would you do with the black winds that you knock down? I think it would be troublesome to be found by the heroes.”

Efil lifted the concealed state, appeared from the shadow of the exit. As we were waiting for the black wind while closing the doorway at the hideout’s entrance, Efil was watching the outside. A black wind battalion may come back to the hide. Efil with clairvoyance kept watching so that we could respond instantaneously.

“I ordered Clotho to absorb them.”

As usual, Clotho rides on Efil’s shoulder, it creates a body and jumps with a ‘poyon’. It moves to where the black wind’s corpses were bundled together in one place, Clotho’s body enlarges and envelops them.

Clotho greatly improved in the fight against Victor, it gained new skills, “dismantling” and “metalizing”. Dismantling skills are used when stripping materials from monsters. By raising the skill rank it is more effective than normal and makes it easier to get rare material on top of it. In the case of Clotho, the subject is absorbed by the gluttony skill, and the material is transported to the storage. Surprisingly, dismantling skills are also applied to humans. It is not grotesque to take the material of man indeed, but when Clotho absorbs it, he sends things that were equipped by human beings to storage. Clotho-san Majipane. [TN sorry I don’t know what majipane is. Here is the raw クロトさんマジパネェ]

“Yeah? You found the key bundle?”

When Clotho absorbs the man in the mask, it reports that some key bundle has been sent to the storage.

“Isn’t that the key used in the hideout? It seems that the masked man was a party leader.”

“If you use this, will it make our search easier? Clotho, it’s fun! Let’s get in quickly!”

“Does Sara only think about rampaging? This is a covert operation. It’s troublesome to be held hostage by a man who was caught in the intrusion.”

“Err … ….”

“Do not make a bad face so blatantly”

However, it was a pity that A class adventurer was clearly at a low level. I confirmed Hope’s status with appraisal eyes, but it was inferior to the Heroes when it was shown by Melfina. The level was higher than the Heroes’, but the ability growth is bad. Should this be seen that the growth rate of the Heroes is excellent?

“Well then, capture the hide as you wish, Sara, you may fight, but be aware of any trap with awareness skill.”

“Of course, leave it to me!”

“……I’m worried.”

She has a good track record, but I am worried about Sara who has a direct feeling. Indeed, this battle junkie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Kelvin, there’s a stone floor, the color is slightly different in one place, isn’t it? Be careful because the trap begins to move. ”

“Oh.”

“Well, as one would expect, Sara has a quick eye.”
“Yes, I can go with confidence”

“Well, that’s right …”

Sorry, Sara, your brother has doubted you. As I opened the lid, Sara fully utilized her sense skill and revealed the traps and magic traps set inside the hide. The evaluation from Gérard and Efil is also extraordinary, I must reflect on this … …

“What’s wrong, Kelvin? It seems like you’d been thinking on something from a little while ago.”

“No, I thought it was really good that Sara became a companion.”

I’ll stroke Sara’s hair who has been peeping. The silky and crimson hair is comfortable. It’s different than Efil’s.

“Well, what is it, suddenly …?”

Sara averts her eyes while becoming red. Even so, it seems that it is not unpleasant when you see she keeps silent. That said, this is a battlefield. I have to switch. Efil is complaining about something with her gaze.

Then we proceeded to search the hideout while rescuing the captured women. We identified the room with search skill then spread out Silent wind wall and captured it. The key bundle I got from Hope was also the thing that let us capture the hideout without difficulty. Most of the women were confined to prison, but there were also some rooms of a scourge that could not be seen by Efil and Sara. They were sexually assaulted and tortured. Gerard and I take the leading role, and we will punish them and take control of them. I applied cleaning magic to the women and applied healing circle to the room. Since I couldn’t bring them to the battle, I hid them in the room for the time being, and Clotho’s alter ego body guarded them.

“Onii-chan, thank you …”

I was thanked by a young girl whom I rescued. Although she was weakened and her consciousness was stunned, she gave me the best smile. This girl is one of the girls who has been tortured. The physical injury can be cured immediately with my magic, but the mental recovery will take time. Speaking of support adventurers, to be praised like heroes is not a permitted act.

“This is the last room,”

There are three signs, I did not encounter the leaders who are thought to be adventurers from that and the hero who was the culprit. They will be in this room. Well, I have to do a tight punishment.
