Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Hidden sorrow

Using magic to raise the heat on my blade, I jumped and slashed the stone beast hard. It seemed like it could cause a wound on it, but the instant the sword touched the hard rock surface, a huge vibration spread to my whole body. Yes, that stone body is too hard on our weapons by absorbing magic from Mr. Orochi. Not only did it not cause a scratch on it, my blade was broken in two after the slash just now.

While we were struggling with these stone monsters, Mr. Orochi was still standing in front of the door and slowly enjoying his piece of bread with tomato sauce.

-Hard! How about fighting !?

Releasing the ax and leaping backwards, Kaito's hand was now trembling because of repeatedly hitting the unbreakable target.

-Too weak. But you all also want to go to the lair of the black magicians huh?

-Not important!

Clutching her lance, Rin slammed it into the ground and created a magic circle. Around him now emitted a dazzling radiance that made this place glow.

When the blinding light went out, the surroundings were big, shining lines that spread out around and bound the stone beasts' feet.

-Rub! High level wide control of the Quang system? This is rare.

I looked around, and it took a moment to discover Mr. Orochi sitting on the roof.

-Haizz ... because the kid dropped the food ... whatever, it's a cigarette.

-Hurry up ... I won't hold on long.

Rin's face became more and more pale, even though he was tired, he still tried not to faint.

-Yes, you should follow what those kids say. That spell consumes magic power, even if it's me, I won't be able to hold it for even a minute.

Thanks to those chains that dispersed the magic dwelling inside but those stone beasts so now we can easily break them.

-Rin!

-It's okay ... I ...

Rin's body became increasingly cold, using too much magic exhausted him, but the honor of his eldest son Motoyasu did not allow him to faint.

-Let me help.

The person who had been silent and stood behind and watched us fight now speaks up. Miyuki placed a hand on Rin's back and began reading strange words.

-Astra ... Silli ... Um!

A magic circle suddenly appeared at Rin's feet and slowly replenished his magic power. At the same time, I could feel that Miyuki's magic power was decreasing, but it was negligible.

-Ca ... thanks ...

Rin stood up, he couldn't help but be surprised by the miracle that helped me recover the magic power.

-That's the system ... I see ... she's Hyunaga's family, right?

-So what?

Miyuki's calm expression when looking directly into Orochi's eyes made him excited.

-Well ... then we have to move "our father's descendants" already ...

-What are you talking about?

-Oh no? Even so, I still want to try.

Taking the cigarette to the ground, from its ashes, Mr. Orochi chanted a spell and created a stone man 3m high. The special thing is that around it there are small lava bands, they emit a strange amount of heat that makes us feel dizzy and tired.

-Kids trick!

Miyuki pulled out her katana and repeatedly slashed in midair. While the four of us were still bewildered, not understanding what was going on, suddenly, the entire body of the Golem

The other crumbled into dozens of small and large pieces.

-Haha! Very good, very good.

Mr. Orochi jumped down to the ground and picked up the wooden mace that was still at the door.

-Let me check them out for myself.

Pulling the old wooden bed out of the corner, she discovered that there was a small path there.

-Last tunnel has light!

Glad to find the way out, Yumi jumped down and ran towards the light, ignoring the sharp stakes that tore her skirt or stumbled several times because she couldn't see the road clearly.

But she quickly felt regret about her decision. The light was not coming from another path, but led to a small hole with bars. On the other side of the bars was a room that chilled her when looking in, dozens of students were drained of magic power to exhaustion and infused into a barrier drawn in blood.

-What cruel ...

-Well!

At the left turn that she thought was the dead end, from the darkness, a frightening noise made Yumi startled.

-Who ... who is it?

Since she was out of the room, she was able to use magic, Yumi summoned her bow and aimed at the dark passage.

Fortunately, it was not a scary creature like she imagined, but just a puppy.

-So cute! Sorry for pointing the arrow at you.

-You seem to have ruined my plan.

The voice from behind made Yumi startled, she quickly picked up her bow and hugged the puppy backwards.

She tried not to show her fearful face and looked into Rozath's eyes.

-Come on. Don't be so dumb.

- That "plan", what do you mean?

Rozath bent down and pointed to the puppy's other hand, and immediately the dog came running and jumped and licked his face.

-The name is Anshi ...

Rozath picked up the dog and gave it to Yumi, while she was bewildered, he patted her head.

-... take good care of it.

At that moment, she realized, when looking into those eyes, the eyes contained sadness hidden inside, that he was not a bad guy.

Using up all the remaining magic power, I fired a spark that burned the chain. Kaito jumped up and swung down shortly after, but Mr. Orochi easily stopped it with his free hand. Taking the chance that he was still in a passive state, Rin used magic to create strings of light once more and restrained him.

-S silly thin wires!

The moment Orochi-sama pushed Kaito and was about to break Rin's rope, Miyuki immediately used another miracle to increase the gravity at the point where he was standing, and then Mika used the wind-generating magic to push him down. down.

-It's over! Victory is ours.

But Mr. Orochi's health, for us, was truly extraordinary, and despite such pressures he still stood up and smashed our spells.

-What do you mean? I did not hear clearly.

To our fatigue and frustration of losing, Mr. Orochi laughed.

- I admit that you are very interesting. And ... I understand what it feels like to lose loved ones ... so ...

Snapping her right finger, the barrier surrounding this place had disappeared.

-Why are you ...

-I didn't do anything.

-He?

Although we were bewildered about what Mr. Orochi was saying, he kept winking.

-The barrier itself breaks.

-...

-Oh rub! I dropped the TRUE map and the food is gone.

Suddenly Mr. Orochi threw a map to Rin as well as a small bag of bread.

What a joke !?

Then I understood what he meant, but the way he blinked his eyes to signal was no different from the movements children use.

Rin thanked her slightly and we also bowed our heads.

-Hey ... don't tell Gaido.

-Yes.

Although I didn't understand why Mr. Orochi did that, I shook my head in spite of it. The important thing is that I can now get closer to Yumi.
