If he takes the shortcut it means that he also has the book "information of the events" but he struggled to get rid of the trees and take the same path as us. But then, how come he understood from the beginning of the test that we had to go around the bridge and why did he wait for me to go through the mine path first.
This guy...
I could feel the figure getting closer and closer to us. I still had the Dawn Dragon sword in my hand.
I turned around abruptly holding the blade in front of the enemy's throat and said his words.
"You, who are you?"
CHAPTER 31
I could not hide his face, for it was hidden by a cloak. Only his eyes were visible. He stopped before he reached my blade and looked furtively to my right.
I lost a moment of inattention as I tried to look in his direction.
He dodged the tip of my sword and continued his run. He leaned on a tree to dodge my allies, but a trap was triggered, a large rock fell from the sky.
I barely had time to shout "WATCH OUT" when the rock had already fallen on him.
Naoki rushed on the rock to try to save the victim.
"It's no use, he must have died on the spot" said Toshiko.
"That's horrible."
"No, wait!" I ran to them and gave a big blow with my sword in the rock which broke in two.
"A second trap?!"
"No, I think it's a trap door that leads to a shortcut".
In the book "information of the events (IDE)" it had indicated that traps were placed a little by all and that it was necessary to remain vigilant.
"Shall we take it Yume?"
"I prefer not, let's continue on the usual path"
We hurry to resume our route, if this mysterious person was still alive, we will cross it again.
"But now we don't know if we are still first"
"For now, this is not the priority, a complicated ordeal awaits us!"
I couldn't afford to put my sword away, because another event would happen in the next few seconds.
"Looking up at the sky, it looks like a phoenix" said Toshiko.
As his eyes were fixed on the beast, the phoenix attacked him. I was able to return the blow, because I had anticipated it.
"Now it gets complicated"
A large phoenix was blocking our way.
"I know it's going to be hard to believe, but if we want to go on, we have to get through this phoenix"
"What are you talking about Yume?!"
We could believe that it's a monster, but there was a sentence in the IDE book "don't believe everything you see"
In reality what we see...
[The ability
What this thing had already activated when Toshiko had obtained Cursed Rubys.
Suddenly, phrases appeared in front of me.
I was the only one who could actually see the black canvas with a phoenix drawn on it.
In that case, I'll have to make them understand that this bird is harmless.
To be continued...
