Kuroshi : I'm still alive and here are two chapters in one, enjoy
chapter 9
As he followed the steps Takeshi picked up the book again and started looking at what would be more help for him.
-"(does this book have some speed magic)"(Takeshi)
He went page by page in search of "speed". But instead he saw the enchantment, "perception"
-'Perception'-
Increases the user's hearing range for a while
Skill information:
Required mana: 20
Range: 125 meters
skill category: passive
Before casting the enchantment. Takeshi wondered if he could cast this spell in his mind
-"(this can be useful if I can cast enchantment just by thinking of words)"(Takeshi)
Takeshi stopped running, closed his eyes and began to concentrate.
-"(well come on, activate skill -perception-)"(Takeshi)
Takeshi began to feel his body flow with mana the sensation was strange. And right after casting the enchantment, Takeshi began to hear footsteps behind his back.
The steps started to get more intense, the enemy was starting to run.
-"(a surprise attack!?)"(Takeshi)
No time to waste, Taleshi jumps to the side
That way he managed to dodge a stab in the back by a person wearing a brown cloak
The enemy quickly recovered and started looking at Takeshi, and the same for the brown-cloaked guy.
-"(he looks like the guy Shizure told me, I have to take him down to find her)"(Takeshi)
Takeshi draws his katana and prepares to fight
The enemy seeing that he would not have another opportunity to make the surprise attack, he prepared for combat.
-"(he's going to be a problem, I need to prepare and take this guy down)"(Takeshi)
The enemy didn't want to waste time and so advanced on Takeshi.
the fight started
The enemy came trying to land a clean blow to Takeshi's face. But takeshi managed to deflect the knife with his sword and disarm the enemy.
The enemy fell to the ground and soon his hood lowered, revealing his face.
Takeshi pointed his katana right at the guy's face. And then he was in despair
-"please do not kill me!"
Takeshi knew that at some point he would try to fight back again, that's what these types of people were like.
-"why would I do that, you tried to attack me first" (Takeshi)
Takeshi raised his katana to kill him
-"I beg you don't kill me, I can tell where she is"
Takeshi lowered his katana
-"I know where she is, I can take you to her"
-"Is that so?"(Takeshi)
-"yes I swear I can take you to her"
he opened his cloak
-"see? I don't have any more weapons"
Takeshi was hearing footsteps, he was stalling so he could be saved
-"then tell in 5 seconds where she is or I'll kill you"(Takeshi)
Takeshi raised his sword again. the bandit trembled with fear
-"5...4..."(Takeshi)
-"Calm down, calm down I know where she is, you need me to take you there"
Meanwhile the steps were getting closer
-"3...2..."(Takeshi)
-"help! someone, someone help me! I'm going to die, help!"
The bandit started screaming for help.
-"1..."(Takeshi)
The bandit passed out and Takeshi threw himself to the side trying to avoid what was behind him.
When he jumps to the side a demon comes out of the forest and jumps to the head of the bandit who had fainted and kills him.
Takeshi quickly gets up and advances towards the demon who was trying to get his sword out of the bandit's head.
Takeshi comes very close and pierces the head the same way the demon did the bandit
-"hugh"
That was the last thing the demon said before falling down while bleeding
When the demon stopped moving Takeshi hears a voice in his head
-'secondary mission'- successfully assassinate a crimson demon completed, the rewards are in your inbox under your status.
-"(status? Do I have a status on this isekai? I don't remember seeing it)"(Takeshi)
Takeshi in his curiosity just told himself "open status". And then a green screen with some information will appear in front of you.
But before he could do anything, he hears screams coming from deeper in the forest
-"I don't have time for this, close status"(Takeshi)
When the status closed Takeshi started to run after the screams, leaving the bandit and the demon behind
As he ran he saw footprints on the ground, as he didn't hear any more screams he started to follow the steps
As he followed the footprints, Takeshi saw that other footprints were next to each other.
-"monster footprints?"(Takeshi)
Large footprints, very different from the footprints he had encountered earlier
As he followed the other footprints he saw one of the thugs on the ground. Takeshi stopped to see if he was alive, the thug was sitting near a tree with a big hole in his chest. He had died from a deep cut
-"ugh..."(Takeshi)
Trying to ignore the scent, Takeshi saw that he had more footprints and started following them
As he followed the footprints, Takeshi heard a tree falling, he looked back and wondered what had dropped the tree.
Every second the steps got louder and made the ground shake, Takeshi was worried about what was going to happen
Soon a person came out of the forest
-"help, help me, there's a minotaur here"
A monster came out of the forest
it was a minotaur who held an ax in his hand
-"huuuuuaaaagghhhh!"
-"ahhh help"
The minotaur with his ax cut the person's head in two parts.
Takeshi vomited with so much blood
-"ugh blehh"(Takeshi)
The minotaur withdrew its ax from the dead body's head and looked at Takeshi
-"this will be a problem"(Takeshi)
-"huuuuaaaaghhhhh!
Letting out this scream, the minotaur lunged at Takeshi ready to cut him in half.
-"(There's no way I can block this axe)"(Takeshi)
And then takeshi dodged the ax that would hit him in the head just by throwing himself to the side
The minotaur missed the attack and his ax hit the ground, causing enormous damage.
-"(if that hits me, I'm done)"(Takeshi)
The minotaur withdrew its ax from the ground and prepared for the next attack. Taleshi got up quickly
-"haaaghhh!"
The minotaur rushed to cut Takeshi in the side of his body. Fortunately Takeshi managed to dodge and the minotaur's ax hit the tree
-"(Damn next time he sure hits me, I need to retreat)"(Takeshi)
As he looked around Takeshi thought about running away to think of a plan
The minotaur was furious with Takeshi and tried to crush him with his hand not caring that his machete was still stuck in the tree.
-"huuaaagghhh"
Takeshi narrowly avoided this attack
And then Takeshi quickly got up and started running deeper into the forest, the minotaur took his ax and started running after Takeshi
The distance between the two increased even more because of the trees that hindered the minotaur
The minotaur lost Takeshi and just in case he changed direction to distract the minotaur
Having time to think of a plan, Takeshi climbed a tree to hide from the minotaur.
-"(what enchantment would be most useful against this minotaur)"(Takeshi)
-"huuuaaaaaahhhhg"
As Takeshi looked at the book he heard the minotaur again. Takeshi looked around worried if he had been discovered
Takeshi heard the minotaur throw his axe, he destroyed all the trees in his path to free up space. But there was one more who also ran away from the minotaur, it was another who also wore a brown cloak.
The guy who dodged the attack started running again, the minotaur started running after him
Takeshi tried to take advantage of the situation to look at the spells in the book
-"(this book has so many options but almost all of them use a lot of mana, I don't know how much mana I still have)"(Takeshi)
The book had so many enchantments that it was hard to choose, but Takeshi saw 3 that he thought would be more useful for the attack.

-"(I have more than enough mana, but I still don't understand why I have the title -'summoned hero from another world)"(Takeshi)
-"huaaaahghh!"
As he thought he heard the minotaur scream in pain
-"okay I have a plan to defeat this minotaur, come on" (Takeshi)
Takeshi got down from the tree and started to follow the steps the minotaur had left while chasing the guy in the brown cloak.
-"minotaur drug, why do you always interfere with our work"
As Takeshi approached he could hear the conversation
-"(maybe he knows where Shizure is, I better hurry up)"(Takeshi)
The closer Takeshi approached the more he listened
-"you won't stop us from capturing the princess!"
Takeshi could hear the two fighting intensely
-"(It's my chance to get closer)"(Takeshi)
-"you are a lot more annoying than I thought"
-hyyaaaaaaaaaghhhhh!
The minotaur seemed irritated by this
Takeshi managed to approach the scene, but decided not to interfere in the fight. He wanted the right moment to take down the brown-cloaked guy.
The minotaur was badly wounded from the fight, he had one of his horns broken and several cuts on his body.
The minotaur advanced on the guy and tried to cut him with his axe. Unfortunately the guy in the cloak dodged and swooped in on his back and cut him even more than he already was.
-"hah! You're too slow to defeat me"
-"huaaaaghhh!"
As he just watched the situation, the minotaur seemed to have lost his temper and decided to end it all at once.
With that the minotaur threw his ax at the bandit. But unfortunately he dodged only by throwing himself on the ground and the ax hit the tree behind him and got stuck
-"hey hey what a danger, be careful"
The minotaur took advantage of the moment of distraction and advanced on the guy in the cloak who was still on the ground and punched him in the tree that had the ax stuck, breaking it and being thrown even further
-"ughh"
-"(okay, now is my chance)"(Takeshi)
The man in the cloak couldn't get up after that and lay on the ground without the strength to get up as the minotaur grabbed his ax and approached.
-"heh... Looks like I underestimated you"
When he got very close, minotaur raised his ax and gave a smile
-"hey your garbage"(Takeshi)
Takeshi ran towards the minotaur
The minotauo noticed that Takeshi was approaching and so tried to attack him with the axe.
-" -claws of darkness'- "(Takeshi)
Tentacles came out of the ground trapping the minotaur
-"(Now is my chance)"(Takeshi)
Takeshi directly reached the minotaur's belly to try to kill
-"take this!"(Takeshi)
-"haaghh!"
the minotaur screamed in pain
After this onslaught, takeshi removed his katana from the minotaur's belly and backed off
The minotaur got angry and ran towards Takeshi ignoring the man in the cloak
After the minotaur walked away from the robed guy, Takeshi raised his hand to the minotaur
-" -'pillar of fire'- !!"(Takeshi)
With that a great pillar of fire emerged over the feet of the minotaur, burning him all over his body.
-"huuaaaghhhh!"
Takeshi quickly advanced on the minotaur as it burned
-"take this, haaaaghhhh"(Takeshi)
-"huuuaaaaaghhh!"
When Takeshi was very close, the minotaur advanced from inside the fire towards him with a punch.
-"hagh"(Takeshi)
Takeshi was able to defend to reduce damage but was unable to dodge the attack and was thrown back
Taleshi falls to the ground but manages to get up easily, the physical stamina and strength of the ring was much stronger than he imagined.
-"afterwards I need to thank Hiimelia for this ring, she is helping a lot" (Takeshi)
The minotaur looks at Takeshi with most of his face all burned from the fire and his body has started to bleed even more from the katana hole.
-"this time I better be careful, I almost died because of my carelessness" (Takeshi)
-"aaaaaghhhh!"
The two prepare to attack
Takeshi starts advancing towards the minotaur that doesn't hesitate to raise his ax to attack
The minotaur advanced on Takeshi and attacked... But unfortunately Takeshi had dodged his attack
-"-claws of darkness-"(Takeshi)
Large tentacles came out of the ground trapping the minotaur again. Takeshi steps forward and jumps on the minotaur's face
Takeshi raises his hand to the minotaur's face
-"-light bomb-"(Takeshi)
And then a sphere of light appears in Takeshi's hand and shines before the eyes of the minotaur that couldn't block the strong light as it was trapped by the ability -claws of darkness-
-"haaaaghhh"
Takeshi after using -light bomb- on the minotaur's face jumps back
-"It's now, haaaghh!!"(Takeshi)
Takeshi advances again on the minotaur
The ability -dark claws- was gone and the minotaur put a hand to his eyes, dropping his ax to the ground.
-"-pillar of fire-"(Takeshi)
And a great pillar of fire came out of the ground burning the minotaur again
-"huuuuaaaaghhhh!"
While still burning Takeshi jumped in the face of the minotaur and the ability -pillar of fire- faded
The minotaur tried again to punch Takeshi but he was blind and didn't know where he was. Takeshi jumped over the minotaur's arms and cut its head off with the katana
When Takeshi touches the ground he quickly puts away his katana and the minotaur falls to the ground.
-"(That was really cool)"(Takeshi)
Takeshi was relieved with everything and sat down on the floor to rest
-"haaahh how tired, I need to have more enchantments to facilitate my work with all this" (Takeshi)
He looked again at the knocked out thug and stood up
-"well come on, I need to find shizure"(Takeshi)
Takeshi gets up again and opens the book to look at some incantations
-"Hey you!"
Before Takeshi could do anything, someone calls his attention, he hadn't heard this person approaching. His ability -perception- was gone and he didn't even notice as he was distracted fighting the minotaur
When he looks back he sees a person wearing white armor like a knight. He had his sword in hand
Takeshi quickly prepares to fight
-"you made that big pillar of fire"
Takeshi didn't realize that that spell -pillar of fire- would draw so much attention to anyone who was around
-"yes I made that pillar of fire"(Takeshi)
-"you must have a rank of 7 in fire element to be able to use this skill does that mean you're after the princess?"
-"just out of curiosity, will you try to stop me from rescuing Shizure?" (Takeshi)
-"you were also paid to rescue her, I didn't know the kingdom had called more people in search of princess Shizure
the knight kept his sword
-"(If I tell the truth he will consider me a danger and will try to arrest me because of this mess)" (Taleshi)
-"I am hajiro, and who are you?
-"(hajiro! The guy who after dropping the carriage disappeared without leaving many traces)"(Takeshi)
-"hey did you hear me?"(hajiro)
Takeshi needed to disguise that he had already met Shizure
-"Oh yes, I'm sorry, I'm Takeshi Kuro and this guy here on the floor might know where the princess is" (Takeshi)
Takeshi thought that if he changed the subject it would help to disguise his suspicions.
-"ohh very well then, let's take him to the kingdom to interrogate him" (hajiro)
-"all right then"(Takeshi)
Hajiro walked over and pulled strings out of his shoulder bag to tie up the guy in the brown robe.
-"okay, now he won't be that much of a risk for us"(hajiro)
Hajiro caught the guy and put him over his shoulder very easily, Takeshi wondered if he also had any rings that boosted physical stats.
-"Shall we go?"(Hajiro)
Hajiro looked at Takeshi and smiled at that question
-"uh ah right, let's go" (Takeshi)
takeshi just followed
-"By the way, can I ask you something?" (Hajiro)
-"oh yeah sure, what would it be?"(Takeshi)
-"what is this outfit you're wearing, are you the son of some noble? That outfit is really cool" (Hajiro)
The outfit Takeshi wore was a black school uniform with yellow buttons.
-"this outfit was a gift from a friend I helped a long time ago" (Takeshi)
-"does your friend sell such an outfit for me? I'm sure I would be successful with the women of the kingdom" (Hajiro)
Takeshi looked at hajiro without expression
-"I don't know where my friend is but I think I can make this outfit" (Takeshi)
-"ah! Look there, the kingdom is just ahead!" (Hajiro)
Hajiro points to a castle in the middle of an open field
-"finally, I'm tired"(Takeshi)
The two start walking towards the castle.
