Episode 2.10
There was no problem in the night of second day.
And on the third day.
The wagon's door that had been closed was opened by Chaney once again.
"Lecan-san. It's all thanks to you that we managed to co this far. I had to get back by tomorrow no matter what, but at the rate we're going, we should arrive this evening. You are my lifesaver. I will never forget this."
"We're not there yet."
"Yes. We'll be in your care till the end."
"I hafta say my thanks too. Yer' truly one remarkable adventurer."
For so reason, Eda looked triumphant behind Lecan.
The wagon continued down a mountain path for a while.
Lecan suddenly halted.
"What's the matter, Lecan-san."
"There's four n 800 steps ahead. Two of them are probably hiding on each sides of the road."
"How'd you know that... no, that was foolish of to ask. What you're saying must be true. So, what should we do."
"Keep going 500 steps forward. Then make a stop. I will confirm their movent. Do not move until I tell you so. If you deem that it's getting dangerous, get back away."
"Understood. Eifun-san, please do as told."
"...Ho ho. Yale (got it). But really, that's so terrifyin' detection ability ya got there."
"Is it bandits? I'll show 'em what I've got this ti."
"Eda. You've only got three arrows left."
"Uu. I'll let you have one."
"Can't you use magic?"
"Huuh magic? Like I could use those stuff! Don't make fun of !"
"Fumu? You go protect the wagon. Keep an eye out in the back."
"I-I got it."
After the wagon went 500 steps forward, the other party didn't make a move.
The wagon stopped, and Lecan went ahead by himself.
They're inside range. Two are holding bows at the ready, the other two have drawn swords in their hands. The four of them are hiding skilfully behind trees and bushes, erasing their presence well. If you could assign ranks on ambushing, these fours would be around advanced level.
Lecan stopped his legs. The enemy is only several steps ahead of him.
These hiding n aren't attacking Lecan.
Which ans, they won't attack anyone who just happens to pass by.
And yet, if they hid themselves after noticing Chaney's wagon, they did so far too quickly.
They must have had prior knowledge that Chaney's wagon was going to pass through this path and thus, they lay in wait here.
And these assailants are no bandits. At the very least, they are not just so penniless ruffians.
Lecan knows from experience. These assailants have had proper training.
Training like that of soldiers'.
Lecan has grasped all he needed to know. Now he's free to kill them.
He jumped into the bush on the right while drawing his sword out, and cut off the right arm of a man who had his sword at ready.
Afterward, he leaped five steps forward, cut off the right foot of a man with bow on top of a tree, landed as bent over, and rushed into the opposite bush in low position.
While hearing the crashing and screaming sounds from the bush where he had left behind, he ran up a tree, jumped high, and cut off the head of another man with bow.
Lecan soared in the sky above trees using the montum.
As he looked below at the last opponent, the man put sothing on his right hand and raised the hand toward Lecan.
Lecan imdiately invoked . A hit. It's a magic item.
"Wind!"
A gust of wind blew the man's left hand from side.
A fireball flew off from the item the man had on his hand, passing by Lecan's left flank.
Lecan landed right in front of the man, lop his head off and jumped backward to avoid the blood spill. Without having to turn around, Lecan saw a huge tree falling behind him through .
He approached the man and took the apparatus that shot out a fireball.
It's shaped weirdly unlike anything he's seen before. He put the apparatus into his and checked out the place where the fireball landed.
Thick trunk of a huge tree has vanished.
What fearso firepower. Comparing it to the magic in his forr world, this has as much power as the . Even Lecan might have died from this if he got hit without his Overking Bear coat on.
So of the trunk and leaves are burning slightly, but due to the morning dew, the fla is already disappearing fast. It likely won't turn into forest fire.
The wagon is coming closer. He hadn't told them to though.
"Le-Lecan-san. What just happened 'ere. I saw sothin' like a fireball flew off."
"There was a mage among the enemy rank. Chaney."
