After his fight with Angrel the remaining Prospects that inhabit the top floor of the temple are no more then insects, while they do provide more techniques to learn, compared to Angrel they lack speed, strength and endurance. The only difficulty he experienced is when four tries to ambush him as he was shimmying around the ruined building, after using Aard to throw two off the small balcony the other two were almost easy to dispatch. With each fight Reima feels his familiarity with hand to hand combat, Windfall and battle intuition increase.
After circling around the building and through the other door that isn't blocked by rubble Reima starts heading up the stairs, in the ga there were wooden planks placed over the holes in the floor that allowed you to progress but here they seem to be missing... Reima ignores the small inconsistency and blinks across the small gaps with ease, looking around he spots a number of glowing orbs and piles of rubble that could hold loot.
In the first pile of stones he checked he found Angrel's mask... In the ga it was called silly mask and Reima can see why, the bright coloured ribbons spilling out of it's frog like visage is rather unnerving.
Reima "If I keep this up I may end up collecting the whole set..."
He continues walking and picking up various items, A steel elbow guard here, a jumper with tal plating there. Reima cos across his favourite item yet, a black Shabu guard vest. It's similar to the jackets on earth without the zipper, it's bundled sleeves that sit above the elbow and smooth materials make Reima feel nostalgia for earth. He looks down at his already battered armour that is in dire need of repair and decides to use so of these clothes, not only because he wants to dress semi-nostalgically but because they repair themselves over ti. Reima doesn't recall there being a blacksmith anywhere in Raslan, let alone the ga, so he decides to store his old Witcher armour in his Folded Space to await repair as he assembles a comfortable outfit.
He puts on the brown padded uringal vest with FangLi noble pants that provide maximum flexibility and movent. He puts on the old sandals he found a while back and puts the black Shabu guard vest over the top of his shirt. Sothing different from earth jackets is that the Shabu vest has a small rope connecting the collars, making sure it doesn't fly around while fighting.
This is by far the most comfortable outfit Reima has worn since being reincarnated, it's light and allows for every movent imaginable instead of being restricted slightly by the armoured plates of his Witcher armour.
After finishing putting on the new outfit he straps his swords on his back and starts heading out of the swamp and towards the forest area that contains the first big boss, the twins.
He enters the path expecting to see a large wooden tribal village like in the ga but only sees jungle trees and foliage...
He starts to walk again but stops his feet as he notices a bear trap just under it...
Reima "That was close..." He says as he moves his head to the side subconsciously and barely dodging a dart that was shot from a tree.
He rolls back and casts Quen to protect against the projectiles while using Observation Haki to spot his ambusher.
He continues to look around and draws his steel sword in preparation for ard combat, he looks up at a tree and spots the aura of a Prospect on a branch. He sends a small blast of Igni to move them from the tree which surprises them, flustered by the incoming flas they fall off the branch and unluckily for them, onto the bear trap. A feminine yelp of pain is heard as their foot is caught in it.
They struggle to get free but stop after a while to resign themselves to their fate.
Reima "So... What did I do to deserve getting shot at?"
??? "You trespass on our land!"
Reima "Oh, this is your land? I don't see your na written anywhere..."
??? "Scum! Blaspher! Brute!"
Reima "You just gonna continue until you run out of insult eh?"
...
??? "Pig! Cat-eye monster!"
Reima who's had enough of her verbal abuse slaps her masked face, "Alright, Shutup and tell where the Twins are or I'll kill you."
??? "Ha! I'm immortal, you can't kill !"
Reima gives a vicious grin, "I can't kill you, but since you don't need to eat, sleep or breath... What would happen if I chained you to a rock and tossed you in a river?"
If her face wasn't covered by a mask Reima was sure it would be pale as a ghost.
??? "You wouldn't!"
Reima "I would, now tell where the twins are or I'll put you in those swamp puddles instead."
The woman finally breaks and tell Reima of the rough location of the village, the twins and how many Prospects are protecting them.
Reima "Thank you for your cooperation. See ya later!"
He starts walking towards the direction of the village as the girl screams for him to undo the bear trap, Reima decided to leave her stuck in it due to the fact that she will imdiately report his presence to whoever directs the tribes forces.
