Episode 102

All you'll encounter is an assassin armed with a bow or crossbow.

I am the weakest partner. I can't do long range attacks other than howling.

This is a bit bad, as are the other wolves.

We thought about letting the werewolf squad rush into Zaria, but it will certainly be a tough battle in a city battle with mixed enemies and friends.

"This is also the enemy."

I shook my head as I checked the corner using the hand mirror I picked up.

There are buildings on both sides of the long corridor, with two shooters of unknown affiliation on the roof. First of all, they are definitely enemies.

It's easy enough for me to run through, but I'm not going to take Ilias.

However, even if you try to kill the enemy, it is impossible to defeat at the same time.

If you call for support while you are taking time, you will be surrounded.

Iria, holding a blank saber, wipes her forehead.

"I don't seem to miss Shatina."

"Because it's the vestige of Tamori."

Not everybody can become a sabbat.

It is not enough to be intelligent. Networking with the city's influential people is indispensable, and you need to be known to the public. You must also be familiar with the surrounding geography, history and culture.

Inevitably, candidates will be limited to the sons and disciples of Tamori.

For Zaria, Shatina is a vitally important person.

But then, is it difficult to join the werewolf squad as it is?

The rooftop of Zaria's building is designed to function as a watchtower, so you can always find it anywhere you go.

The maze was a device that rejected intruders and kept them alive.

The most dangerous is the moment you get out of town. It is difficult to protect the Ilias from the arrows because there are no obstacles around.

I felt like it was quite a bit risky, but I gave up running away.

"Shatina"

"What, what?"

I say to a girl staring at me:

"Consult with Tamori's successor. If there's a place that meets my requirements, I'll guide you there."

"all right"

And we start wandering in the labyrinth again.

The passages became increasingly narrow and complicated, and ended in front of one door.

At first glance it looks just like a private house.

"Are you really here?"

"Yeah. Here it meets the conditions specified by Waid."

"Okay, here we are."

I go behind the door with Iria and Shatina.

I cast the necessary magic on them and instructed them to hide behind them.

The rest is my job.

I elaborated myself on the magic of detoxification. Then, apply the magic of arrow repellent to a restful state.

When a light object is likely to hit at a high speed, it automatically triggers a shock wave with magic power to divert the trajectory.

However, the fuel consumption is surprisingly bad, and it disappears once you use it, so it does not become much ate. Depending on the power and angle of the arrow, you may not be able to play.

Finally, cast the silence magic.

With this, everything around me disappears. Spells that require spells are rarely used because they will not work, but this time it will be important.

When the necessary magic is done, the door is opened.

This place is an excuse to "protect your books from the sun" and has few windows. The small windows near the ceiling are all closed by thick doors, so the inside of the library is dark.

So the pursuers watch carefully and light up the fire and come inside.

As expected.

I gently sink into the darkness.

What I designated as Shatina was a "dark enclosed space." It's even better if you're involved.

This was exactly the condition.

This is Zaria's large library. A tall bookcase is lined up in a building about the size of a gymnasium. Just like a maze.

But in a world without decent printing technology, poor cities like Zaria cannot afford expensive books.

Most of the books here are dummy. It could be a hidden door that seems to be packed with books, or a hidden cupboard.

This large library is an evacuation site for Zariah Mamoru, as well as an execution ground for inviting and assassinating enemies.

Nicknamed "Zaria's Fang".

The true figure is a secret place that only the clan of the Omori knows.

Only one entrance opens, and some people enter in groups.

They are dressed as peddlers and pilgrims, but of course no ordinary humans can enter here.

I look down on the entire maze from the top of the bookshelf and watch as it lurks in the dark.

Apparently, the enemy seems to search by hand.

The aisles here are terribly narrow, and the action of large numbers would have been considered disadvantageous.

Let's start hunting.

It is a specialized field of werewolf.

The bookshelf maze has only one correct route.

But the answer is also quite detoured, so I decided to get rid of it first.

If you roll the corpse in an unrelated place, enemies will gather here.

I stand silently behind a pilgrim-like man acting alone.

A moment later, the pilgrim-like man blew blood from his neck and collapsed again without sound. Extinguish the candlestick he had with his blood.

And I disappear into the darkness again.

I caught up from the bookshelf as a peddler-like duo walking down the correct route.

Behind this is a secret room with Eyria and Shatina.

The bookshelf is a hidden door, so it shouldn't be so easy to find, but of course it's hard to get closer.

I kick the man behind from the sky and kick it, crushing the skull and tibia, and letting him die.

The corpse collapses in front of you, wrapped in silence.

The remaining man turns around, noticing that his partner has fallen.

His neck fluttered in the air.

When I killed about half the intruders, they finally noticed that they were being attacked.

However, they seemed willing to fight back, and they were not afraid to see their corpses.

On the contrary, it calls in friends who are waiting outside.

Apparently it seems to be pushing in numbers.

This time, it seems that they are going to be a group of several people and control each other while talking to each other.

However, the passage in the large library is narrow. The moment you reach a dead end, a turbulence is created between the head trying to return and the tail trying to move forward.

So it strikes at that moment.

"Five groups, dead ends again!"

"These two teams have found the bodies of Yajims and others! They are being killed by a werewolf!"

`` Respond to the three groups !? Where are you !? ''

The attacked team shouted at all without exception.

But as long as I'm nearby, no one hears when asking for help.

The assassins gradually panic.

"This is one group! Hey, is there no group alive !?"

"Six groups! Four groups here now ..."

"Hey, what happened !? Someone! Someone is not there!"

You can hear someone shout from a distance, but the Six Teams will not be able to respond forever anymore.

Just because I killed them all.

"I'm going to be killed if this is the case! Let's withdraw!"

"No, no ..."

And the library became quiet.

I looked down on the bookshelf at the murder I caused.

Roughly forty people are sinking into the sea of blood everywhere. They are just a hand of the Senate, but they are self-employed.

I listened to the wall and listened to the outside, but the sign of the person had completely stopped. There are no living enemies inside.

When I return to the secret room, I tell Ayria and Shatina.

"Nobody is alive except us. It's OK for now."

Shatina comes out of the hallway, illuminating the area with the light of a lamp and breathing.

"This, this ... you did everything !?"

"Yes.

"No, that's the story ..."

I'm a wolf and my senses are quite paralyzed, but maybe my child was too stimulating.

Shatina looks down at her steep face.

"If I had this much power, I could protect my father ..."

"Don't say nothing"

In a different sense, the stimulation seemed too strong.

This child seems to be quite intense.

If you think about it, isn't it possible for the daughter of the servant to panic about the corpse?

At that time, a howling wolf was heard from afar. That's Fern's sister.

"This is what now?"

I'll tell Shatina who's scared.

"Don't worry, it's a fellow howl. It looks like you're heading here."

That's good, you can leave the treatment of the woman to Fern sisters.

It is finally being released from the lady's escort.
