Episode 69: Evil Dragon Cave

Once again, the scene changed, in "The Seven Stars of Mitsukishi". When Raphae returned to Micah's room, there was a figure of Micah who woke up only half of her body on the bed.

"Mr. Micah! You woke up!

Raphae rushes over to Micah with a relieved face. Micah, on the other hand, looked around the room wondering.

"I should have been in human territory... how could I be in my room..."

"Mr. Seal brought me back. You were unconscious earlier, weren't you? But Mr. Gabriel cured me with a healing spell, so I think I'll be fine for now."

"... yes. Sorry I bothered you."

"Never mind. Do you have any idea what caused your illness more than that? Mr. Seal, I was so worried."

"... nothing in particular"

With that said, Micah tries to get out of bed.

"Oh, if you want something, just tell me and I'll bring it. Is it a treat after all?

"On human soil... we have to go back..."

"What!? What are you talking about! We still have to rest!

"It's okay... I'm fine now... Huh!"

You're blinded, Micah puts her hands on her head.

"Where is it okay! Besides, Mr. Seal has unlocked [Ability Sharing] for Mr. Micah, so you can no longer use [Soul Absorption]! It's pointless to go to human territory!

"... irrelevant. My real purpose in the first place is not to gather human souls."

"Then why!?"

"... to kill your sister"

Micah said as she gripped the futon with both hands.

"Because I thought if I made some big case on the ground, your sister would notice my presence. Just hunt the human soul as a means."

"For that reason, people's souls……!?"

Micah had no clue as to Yuna's whereabouts because she did not know the fact that Yuna had become one of the four exterminators serving the reigning king.

"All I have in me is the will to kill your sister. If you've been able to gather human souls, make another case to attract your sister's attention. So get out of the way, Raphae."

…………

"Raphae?"

"... I'm sorry, Mr. Micah. Spell [Sleeper Whispers]!

Raphae's eyes glow purple. Soon Micah fell asleep and drowned her head gaggly. Raphae puts Micah to bed and gently futons her.

"This is the only way I could think of it. Forgive me......"

Raphae shrugged sorry as she saw Micah's sleeping face.

The date changed and the creepy quieter late night. Finally, the time has come for us to leave for the Cave of the Evil Dragon, where the "Mad Demon's Mirror" is sealed. Sasha, Serena, Asta, Sue, Lina, and my six were gathered outside Azito.

"Did you get a good night's sleep, Ute?

"Hmm... Fair enough"

Reply to Asta with your arms gently extended forward. I managed to sleep when I went back to Ajito's room and lay down in bed. Even so, it's a little over two hours. But you're not feeling bad, and you won't interfere with the operation.

Sasha said the cave is populated by three dragons over level 700, and probably battle is inevitable. You have to keep your mind tight and try.

"Jahnkempong. Turn around, hoy."

"Ah!? I lost again..."

Lina, on the other hand, was playing with Sue by turning over there for some reason. Probably got invited by Sue to do it without a choice. I thought I wouldn't have to do it now, but it would work in the sense of relieving tension.

Then Serena and I had an unexpected eye contact. but i get pussy strayed right away. I knew you still hated me...

But we're going to have to work together to get the "Mad Demon's Hand Mirror," and not in this state. That's what I thought. I decided to speak up to Serena.

"Yay, Serena. How are you feeling?

"Yes, 'cause you talked to Atashi.' A sentence for hitting a pinkie in the horn of a tance a hundred times. I told you yesterday, didn't I?

"What, that's still happening!?"

"Naturally. All of a sudden, you're gonna be tight a hundred times, so I'm gonna give you a special eighty for today."

"It's not about the number of times! When you were in the hallway yesterday, you were talking normally!?"

"Well, that's not what I'm talking about!! Anyway, bring your tans now and hit your pinkies eighty times!! Come on!!"

"Oh, tyranny..."

Sasha coughed up big once when she saw me and Serena like that.

"Yes, there, leave that alone for crazy talk fights. It's time to leave."

"What's with all this talk and quarrel!!"

In the end, Serena and I were giddy, and the six of us walked out toward the Cave of the Evil Dragon. Is it okay to live up to this atmosphere even though we may be fighting dragons from now on? I just hope we figure it out.

Walking relying on the light of the stars floating in the night sky, about three hours. We arrived safely in front of the cave without being hit by an incident along the way.

"Is this the 'Evil Dragon Cave'..."

I shrugged when I saw the cave. The entrance would be narrower than I thought and less than five meters wide. Are you saying that somewhere in this cave there is a 'Mad Demon's Hand Mirror' sealed?

"I really wanted you to come by with my [Chili Eye] knowing in advance where the seal was, but it's very dark in the cave [Chili Eye] and I can't see anything. So you're gonna have to cave in without a clue."

"No problem! Let's get in there!

"Wait, Asta, we're not done yet."

But Sasha's voice is unreachable, and Asta runs toward the entrance to the cave.

"Ngi!?"

but for some reason asta got blown up rearward in front of the entrance. I ran right over to Asta. [M]

"Hurt! What the hell is going on!?"

"What's up, Asta? What have they done?

"Listen to me! I don't know what it is, but I got bounced off!

"What...?

Then Sasha walked to the entrance to the cave and gently reached out. He eventually noticed something, and Sasha opened her eyes wide.

"This is...!!"

"Sasha, did you find out anything?

To Serena's inquiry, Sasha nods quietly.

"An invisible barrier is erected at the entrance of the cave by some spell. Looks like Asta got bounced off that barrier."

"Invisible barriers......?

"Besides, this barrier is tensioned from the inside, not from the outside. That means there will be those who caved first."

!!

A shock ran between us.
