The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee Chapter 293 – The Connection to the Spirits

Chapter 293 – The Connection to the Spirits

After the Jack Frost disappeared, she dodged the other two.

「I PULLED SOTHING SHINY FROM ITS BACK!」

「MAYBE THE KEY TO THEIR SUMMONING?!」

「PROBABLY!」

Luka ran up and slashed one of them, but it didn’t seem to damage it, other than slicing its body and it crumbling a bit.

The Jack Frost stopped for a second, and that was enough.

「I SEE! THIS!」

Luka did the sa, running around back and grabbing sothing, and the Jack Frost slowly disappeared.

That ant that the Jack Frost had returned to the realm of natural spirits.

「I GUESS THIS THING LOCKS THEM AWAY FROM THE SPIRIT REALM!」

「JUST PULL THIS SHINY ROCK OUT OF THEM!」

Yureena charged at the final one, and it shot magic at her, which she deflected with a barrier of her own.

Her hair seed to freeze white...as did her clothes, but she didn’t stop.

She reached the Jack Frost and scread, 「THERE!」

And hit its middle with a punishing right punch.

「Ｋｉｓｉｉｉｉ! ｋｉｉｉｉ!」

It scread in another strange cry of ice.

「SO THIS IS WHAT YOU AN?!」

And the Jack Frost faded into nothing.

She had blown through its back and pulled the stone back from the hole with magic.

Just like sothing Yureena would do.

We had sent all three of them back to where they ca from.

During this, Femm had leapt forward and began sniffing around.

「Femm run over here.」I told Femm, as Femm was close to .

「Wuff」

Femm ran up the field of snow, which was hard, even for a wolf.

『Are you not going to fight, Al?』

「I’ll just leave it to them. I need to find who’s summoning these things.」

『Understood.』

Vi-Vi followed on Moofy from behind.

「Moo mooo!」

Moofy actually was faster on these snowy fields.

She pulled up right beside Femm and I.

「Al, I FEEL OTHER MAGIC THAN SPIRIT MAGIC!」

「YEAH!」

As we shouted to each other, more spirit magic flew at us.

It hit the barrier and bounced off.

「YOU THINK THEY PULLED OUT SO MAGIC DEVICE?」

「NO IDEA UNTIL WE GO BACK AND CHECK!」

「OKAY!」

I searched out for the magic around us.

Vi-Vi said, softer, 「This snow sucks.」

「You think there’s a magic circle sowhere?」

「Very possible.」

Just then another wave of spirit bolts flew at us, and it was blocked by Vi-Vi’s barrier.

「Vi-Vi, that was fast.」

「You taught , Al.」

Then she smiled at .

Vi-Vi was a competent magician. I had forgotten that she was younger than Steff and Millet as well.

She still had lots of ti to grow, too.

「We can lt the snow easily...」

「If we do, the water will carry any trace away.」

「Magical circles would remain, but any magic stone would be carried away.」

「And we can’t just blow it all away.」

「Yeah.」

I used gravity magic where I felt the magical force coming from, then crafting a magical sword, I lifted the snow in the air.

「Al, great IDEA!」

Vi-Vi made her own sword, quickly and well-ford.

「Vi-Vi help dice up all this snow.」

「Roger!」

「We don’t need it all packed on the ground.」

The ground wasn’t perfectly flat, but we sliced the snow from the ground and I lifted it and blew it far away.

We quickly removed all the drifts from the area.

「AL, I FEEL THE JACK FROSTS GETTING CLOSER!」

「YEAH, AND...」

I changed and spoke in spirit speech instead, to everyone I knew that was around .

I could feel Cruz, Luka, and Yureena acknowledge from a distance as well.

I also contacted Timi, far above.

Spirit speech got harder as your partner got farther away. It was quite hard to reach Timi.

『What is it Al? You really are strong to speak to this far away.』

Timi said, speaking to . At the sa ti I tried to connect, she felt the magical force change.

She could sense reaching out...she was very good at magic.

「ryaa?」

Hearing her aunt, I felt Shiggy respond in my pouch.

『First, don’t change where you are.』

『Huh?』

『You think soone’s watching, Al?』

Cruz had a sharp sense.

『Just in case. While Vi-Vi and I were driving the snow away, Jack Frosts are being summoned again.』

That’s how I knew sothing was watching us.

『So type of magical detection is responding to us...there’s no way they can’t sense you, Al.』

『I sense that too.』Vi-Vi said.

『See if sothing’s watching you too.』

『Roger!』

『Okay.』

『It’s hard to sense anything.』

『Leave it to , girls. I can watch from up above.』

Everyone was focused on whatever was out there.
