Hunter of the Perished World

[269] How to Meet a New Age (3)

Rudrey showed Leona where he could be among the many Nodes of Shimach Windill, and Leona told Gin about it.

“Are you going alone? ”

“As long as you're here to get in the way, I'm welcome. ”

When Jean looks at you with a fat look, Leona frowns.

“What's wrong with a pretty horse? ”

“Worry about your wounds. ”

“I'm so pissed off! ”

Leona grins as if she's still picking out a hate word, and Ramfil laughs as he looks at it. Ramfil was delighted with the strange emotions that Leona felt when she made those grumpy duets, and so was Gene.

In that way, Leona's unique remarks made them feel that they had returned to their rightful place.

Leona looks at Jinn and Ramfil alternately and looks warm.

“What the... What's with the swearing and the smiling? Are you two perverts? ”

“I was hoping for a change in you, but now that you think about it, maybe it's a good thing you haven't. ”

It was Ramfil's word, and Jean smiles bloody.

“Definitely more fun this way. ”

“Obviously, they've both tasted better in two years... ”

Leona lets out a sigh of desperation. Gene prepares to leave and tries to leave the burinake.

Then, Leona grabs onto the outgoing gin for a moment.

“Mister.”

“I'm in a hurry. Tell me quickly. ”

“Well, well... ”

After all, even though the chip was important, Gene was actually doing Leona a favor. Leona hesitates.

“Thank you... ”

In the end, Gene was just a match for Leona. Gin grins deeply and puts her hand in Leona's hair and tangles. Just like Leona did to Rudrey.

“I'm sure it's something worth doing, thanking the kid for making money and wishing him back. ”

“I'm not a kid anymore! ”

“If you're taller than me, I won't call you that. ”

“… just get lost. ”

It was biologically impossible for Leona to surpass Jean's height no matter how much she grew up. Leona grits her teeth and spits them out, and Gene turns around.

“Here we go.”

Gene leaves like the wind.

Salahadin doesn't know when to find Shimach Windill, so he has to move quickly.

Gene would have been trustworthy in the past, but the fact that Gene is now guarding it means the Wargrave Enforcement Squad will still be safe.

If Jin arrives on time, Shimach Windill will be fine. Of course, Leona also told Gin about Saladin and Lajon, so she guessed the situation wouldn't be extreme.

“At this rate, even if you're a grandmother, I can still hear the kid. ”

Ramfil laughs as if his grandmother, Leona, imagined hearing that from Jean.

“What did you say... ”

Leona feels uneasy, smiling helplessly.

Gene doesn't die.

But he dies.

It is certainly a happy imagination that we can be together in the far future. But at the end of that happiness, a predetermined death will be waiting for him.

Now that I can't even imagine being an adult, Leona can't even imagine being old.

Even then, Gene would have looked like this. In fact, Leona grew tall, but Jean didn't change anything. If luck and destiny allow him to stay with Gene until he dies of old age.

Nothing would please me more, but it's no different than having to part with Gene in the end.

And so is Ramfil, who became a demon-hunter.

Leona didn't know what she was feeling when she had to say goodbye.

But because of Jean's ease of feeling at the many breakups.

I could see how miserable Gene felt.

Leona suddenly becomes dazed, standing still, and eventually squeals.

“Son of a bitch! ”

“? ”

“You just made me feel weird! ”

“... What the hell is going on? ”

Leona gives Ramfil a Barack temper.

With that anger, I suddenly suppressed the fortunate sadness.

How did you know Jean was out? Frey walks into Slummy's room with Elizabeth. Leona sighs for a short while, looking at that Frey. In the past, the prestigious White Witch, who has now become a cannibal, has that strange feeling.

The two remaining Mysters are Lewis Lambert and Shimach Windil.

“But I think it's okay to stay like this. ”

Leona tilts her head at Ramfil's words.

“Why, is there a problem? ”

“After all, the bomb buried underground is still there, isn't it? ”

Leona's expression stiffens. It's not like the Shudha leadership hasn't talked about it.

But there were very few people in Shudha to deal with that bomb, and there were too many preemptive outcomes. The disposal of the prisoners, the maintenance of the system, and their efforts alone were lacking.

Above all, if you try to disarm a bomb and you touch it incorrectly and it explodes, you will have a hard time measuring it.

In the beginning, Leona's touch with the underground bombs was a gamble, risking not only her own life, but the lives of countless others, and no one was able to do it.

Even a specialized explosive disposal team was able to mobilize and leave the explosives alone.

Ramfil said with a firm impression.

“There's no guarantee they won't touch it. ”

Leona was able to imagine that Shimach Windill would not make such a choice. But Leona had no idea what kind of human being Lewis Lamberg was, another surviving master.

“No way... If you touch that, he'll die too... ”

Ramfil stares at Leona as if to ask her what she's talking about.

“You know how many crazy people there are in the world and you say that? ”

“ ……. ”

That's true.

Ramfil has seen the slater on a junk wagon explode and self-destruct several times as he dies. Leona has also seen a lot of people in extreme situations who want to destroy everyone.

“Maybe there's a bomb down here. ”

There will be. Mysters planted explosives that could blow up the entire city area of the tower.

Ramfil and Gin will be safe, but Frey, Leona and Elizabeth will not be safe from the aftermath of the explosion.

The reason for not executing the prisoners in Schuhahar right away was clearly why they were holding the hostages. In the Caravan Hall, the majority of the surviving nobles were enclosed, as well as the main force of Shudha.

Blowing up this place is like killing all the prisoners. So it was true that they were both prisoners and hostages.

“There's a reason why we don't deal with prisoners right away.... ”

However, there is no denying that they have the possibility to do something crazy. First of all, Leona's strength is about to return.

“I'll keep an eye on him as long as I can. ”

If you controlled the monsters underground and made them patrol, you might be able to catch a suspicious person approaching the explosives. Leona raises the spiritual wave and senses its surroundings. Since the power hasn't fully recovered yet, it's difficult to cover the entire city.

“Mmmm... I think I can only cover this area.... I don't think he's seen any suspicious activity. ”

Frey looks at Leona with envy for some reason. She has powers beyond Bondi Leona. But Frey was unable to use even a handful of his strength.

Leona, who was on the verge of being able to read those feelings, flinched her eyes for a moment.

Just as Frey once read Leona's psychic wave, Leona was able to read some of Frey's psychic waves.

It was helpless.

She struggled to break up once, but was never able to break up.

It is a feeling of despair that one is in a position to receive help.

Leona gives a patrol order to the monsters in the nearby block, then raises her hand slightly to the back of Frey's hand.

“Huh, huh? ”

Frey looks fiercely at Leona's sudden behavior.

Leona smiles at Frey like that. I know how you feel. So I know how much it hurts people.

Leona has not said a word of comfort.

Leona knows that nothing can comfort her feelings right now.

That's why Leona only smiles, placing her hands on Frey's hands. But it is transmitted.

Since each other is a witch, each other's minds will fly. Frey realizes that Leona has perfect empathy for herself in her hands. Without power, it was possible to convey that emotion through Leona's power.

Neither Elizabeth nor Ramfil knew what was going on between them.

There is only one possible communication between the two.

We didn't speak to each other.

It's not like I've regained my strength. Only Frey felt that Leona truly understood his feelings.

But that alone is enough, there is no doubt in the world.

Not to mention if it's a perfect communication that doesn't even need to be talked about.

And that empathy reminded Fray of a very long time ago.

It was a horrific, violent, shaking thing.

“…… Thank you. ”

Frey clenches his lips, saying it quietly.

Apart from what Leona and Frey are doing, Elizabeth stands up.

“I think I can do something about it. ”

Leona nods.

“Yes, you said you were a shaman, right? ”

“Yes.”

Leona's side was older and definitely taller than Elizabeth's. But Elizabeth was more comfortable talking to people other than Jean, and Leona didn't have a problem with that either.

It made me feel comfortable with whoever I was.

“What are you going to do? ”

In Ramfil's question, Elizabeth pulls something from her backpack.

“I'm going to wear street clothes all over the city. If you look at the path and chest rhythm, you might be able to find a risk factor. ”

Leona tilts her head to see the giant piece of paper unfolded by Elizabeth.

“Is it like an armpit? ”

Obviously, it didn't look exactly the same as the arms I saw at the Celestial Party, but it seemed to be used for a similar purpose. But Leona shakes her head.

“Large spells, like armrests, cannot be used without the necessary spells and terrain. Have you ever seen such a level of magic? ”

Elizabeth gives Leona a nod.

“Well…. That's right."

“Well, you said you've met an astrologer before, so that's a long question. ”

Even if Elizabeth is a Grand Shaman, she can detect an enormous range of magical energies. I couldn't use it without being properly prepared.

However, there was definitely enough detection magic to cover this city, and that was enough for now.

“We need a map of the city. ”

Ramfil has retrieved the map, spread it out to the side, and set up a defensive position, and Elizabeth begins preparing to perform the spell.

After a long look at the map, Elizabeth pulls out the emptiness.

“Wow, you have that, too? ”

“Yes, my family was deeply in love with the demon-hunter. ”

Leona's eyes gleam with envy, and Elizabeth pulls an envelope out of the void.

Then he poured out all the contents on the open paper.

Shhhhh!

It was a lot of sand that was spilled. Watching the sand spill, Elizabeth slaps one side of the paper with her palm.

Tak!

“Oh…. ”

The sand begins to scatter as if by magic. He was gradually shaping up. Leona, of course, looked at Ramfil and Fray in mysterious ways.

“Hmm…. ”

“Shaping the city? ”

“Looks that way. ”

The process of creating a stereoscopic small map was just as curious and amazing. Leona looks more like this side of the spell than the scroll. The scattered sand forms a small structure and a huge tower in the middle, just as mysterious.

Obviously, Elizabeth, who could harness the power of the spirit, was able to practice magic in a way that was distinct from other shamans.

Soon after the approximate preparation, Elizabeth knelt before him and quietly said.

“I'm going to start the spell. So I need you to stay as still as possible from now on. ”

The three of you nodded like a mute who ate honey. Soon, Elizabeth's hair began to shake, and everyone noticed a change.

Gruuuuggghhh

Nothing has changed, and the whole room is dimmed even though it hasn't moved. It wasn't hard enough to tell the son-in-law apart, but even though it was definitely daylight, the room became as dim as the evenings.

And Leona could see the shadows and the light of the city on a map of the sand.

Some were bright, some were dark. Complex light, coming in from many directions, was producing complex shading. Leona could instinctively see that this was related to the city's street clothes.

The city's overall appearance was dim. That is why I could see so many breasts sleeping inside.

Even if you're not a shaman, you know enough about the most dangerous of them all.

‘The tower... ’

Despite the tallest and brightest of all, the tower was as black as if it had been swallowed up by darkness. Elizabeth looked closely at the city and soon finished the spell with a deep sigh.

Glug-ug

And at the same time, the sand also collapsed. Elizabeth explains by sweeping the scattered grains of sand back into her sack.

“There's a lot of sleep going on in this city. Maybe it's the explosives buried in the basement, or people's wrath. And more than anything else, too many people have died. ”

The number of people who died in the riots was enormous. They suffered even to death and were humiliated even after death, rather than having a proper burial.

“There's a very high likelihood of transfusion in this city. Not to mention the presence of ghosts, there will be a lot of unclean creatures... That's not the point. ”

Elizabeth glances over the door quietly.

“The biggest boom in the city is in the tower now. ”

“Was it because the tower might have collapsed? ”

The tower was definitely broken, so it was going to collapse naturally. As a result, citizens living in areas that may be affected by the collapse were temporarily evacuated.

But Elizabeth shakes her head.

“It has nothing to do with the collapse of the tower. ”

“Then…. ”

“There's something in the tower. ”

There is something in the tower that will summon a great chest. Lamfil mutters with a stiff expression.

“You're watching Shudha around the tower, right? ”

You may be in danger of looting the tower, so Shu 'dah's troops are guarding it now. But this time, Leona said,

“If I can get in through the basement, like I got out through the basement, there's nothing I can do. ”

Rather, the current tower has once again become the safest place for nobles. The time of collapse is now the perfect time to hide in the tower.

What are you going to do in that tower?

“In the tower.... I have a weapon."

“Definitely.”

Leona's words are received by Ramfil.

“If we could take the top of that tower for sure, we'd have a good tactical advantage. ”

You wouldn't have felt such a powerful chest if you were just hiding. But what if it's something powerful you can do in a tower?

It may launch a brute force artillery after occupying the high ground.

“I'll go. ”

Ramfil wakes up and looks at Fray as worried.

“You gonna be okay?"

“That's enough.”

Ramfil is perfectly fine to free-fall from the top of the building. Whoever it was, whatever it was, could have handled it. Ramfil rushes out of the door.

Leona stops underground and Ramfil stops on the ground.

“It's a really troublesome neighborhood. ”

Leona sighs for a moment, and Elizabeth and Frey nod in agreement. And after a while, Leona opens her eyes.

‘Humans roam underground. ’

A monster reported to Leona.

What are the numbers?

"I've seen four. ’

It wasn't just that.

‘There's a human being here, too. There are five numbers. "

As far as Leona is concerned, eyewitness information continues to be heard.

Reports indicate they're approaching an underground bomb just below here. They're closing in on the bombs, so there's more of them to deal with in no time.

The intention is exhaustive. It was natural to try to manipulate the bomb.

Elizabeth asked if she saw Leona's expression.

“Is something wrong? ”

“I don't know about the ground, but something's about to start down below. ”

We must never let them get close. After identifying eyewitness information and the enemy's armed status, Leona focuses on identifying current forces, such as checking available monsters.

Leona summons a group of nearby monsters to instruct them to hunt. I also did not ignore the order to keep reporting.

Apart from her nervous expression, Leona smiles with a cold sweat.

It reminds me of a long time ago.

This situation right now, controlling the monsters to create a virtual strategy and giving instructions...

‘It's like we're at war of Wasteland...' ’

I feel like I've played a game for a long time in real life.
