The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

215 You can't see, but you're there.

A leader strikes from behind Soma.

You figured out I wasn't losing my chill, and it seemed like you matched your chances.

To drop his neck, the long sword of his right hand was wielded --.

Buon!

After he disappeared, he slashed and tore apart a space with nothing.

"Shit, you noticed that..."

On the verge of being beheaded and skipped by a leader, Soma disappeared on a momentary move.

I don't see him anywhere.

Where the hell did it disappear...?

There are no hidden woods, rock shadows or anything around, even though it's just a plain.

"... hmm?

Wait a minute.

How could he have attacked us on the plains of nothing?

There's plenty of places to hide in the woods, and you can ambush them all you want.

There are some downsides to being able to hide from us, but that should be more advantageous.

(There's no way he hasn't thought about it. There must be some reason--)

"Kirie! They're coming from the top!

"You don't even give me time to think anymore!

The leader pointed to the sky and the rain of the polar rays started again.

Now I run around with vigilance behind my back.

But he doesn't show up at all.

The purpose of Soma, of course, is to kill us, but if we can't, we're extending the fight as far as we can.

I can't let this guy eat any more time for Beato...!

Move around to dodge, dodge, dodge the pillars of light.

The ground of where I was a moment ago, one ray after another.

He's obviously shooting at where we are.

I mean, he's looking at this somewhere.

I don't see it, but I'm always in a place of sight.

"Leader, there is no hand!?

"Keep your hands together...! If they snipe us like this...!

"Right..., no hippos resting...!

"... Bulge, you're struggling"

When me and my leader attacked and back-to-back.

Aiming there, Mr. Divai flew away with wind magic.

Together with the Toka who was grabbed by the root.

"Leave this place to me..."

Concentrating his magic on both hands, Mr. Divai creates an ice magic dome.

The thick, translucent ice wrapped the four of us.

Apparently, this ice, it's the same or more potent than the kabe I was making earlier.

One ray after another doesn't seem to penetrate him.

"Did this give you a little time to think...?

"Oh, it's nice, Divai!

Ice is translucent, and enemy tactics can be considered while observing how things are going around.

Just don't take it easy.

The rays are too powerful, and the ice is melting a little bit.

"Hey, leader. You have to look at the accuracy of this attack from somewhere."

"Definitely. By the way, wherever you look around, that bastard's no good."

"... that's what it is."

The speaker is Toka.

Mr. Divai grabbed me by clutter and I seem a little upset.

"Killier, remember? You sensed the presence of the Melo guy, the [Airman] Gift Ball (Gift Sphere) before, right?

"... oh, um... what did I say? Yes, Blum. You found it from his black coge body."

After killing the [airman] 's user, Melo felt the magical reaction of Yonggi Ball (Gift Sphere), which was safe for Magma to burn.

"I wonder if Mr. Dubai, who can use all this magic, can't do the same with me."

"... that's hard. In a situation where so many magic attacks continue in a row...... But let's just do it..."

Mr. Divai began to concentrate while maintaining the ice dome.

I wish I could feel his place now......

"... Mm"

"Oh, you did it?

"... mmm. The magic of the Gift Ball (Gift Sphere), I could faintly feel it"

"... where did you feel it from?

That must be where the enemy is hiding.

"... there"

That's what Mr. Divai pointed out from here on the right, on the grassland with nothing.

Yeah, there's nothing there.

"Oh, come on...... What do you mean, this guy?"

"Mr. Divai's sensing is wrong..."

"I guess it's unlikely. The magic of Dubai is full of Bakemon."

... I guess.

If you look at the strength of the ice kabe, you'll see that this man is a tremendous magician.

"I mean, hold on tight, the guy with the bravery ball (gift sphere) is in that place...?

I can't see you, but I'm here...?

A gift of transparency...... you're not wacky, are you?

There is only one [moonlight] ball of his courage (gift sphere).

I'm not an artificial brave man.

"... uh, I'm sorry I'm talking to you."

Once again, Toka opens her mouth.

Bring a cold sweat, pointing up there.

"This ice dome, it could melt soon"

Follow with your eyes the tip of Toka's finger, what a hell of a giant ball of light directly above the dome.

About the size of a hundred meters.

"That's it..."

"Undo the kabe immediately! Let's get out of here!

No matter how hard it is, if you bathe like that, it will be over.

Shortly before the polar light struck down, Mr. Divai unlocked the ice kabe.

Escape out of range at full speed.

(He said if I let him out like this, he'd blow the whole thing around here!

Mr. Divai is flying low altitude in the direction of me and with wind magic.

The leader grabs the root of the Toka and activates the Qi Training (Renki)/Moon Shadow Leg (Getsueikak).

Running in the opposite direction from me, with all my might.

But I don't know what happened to the two of you after that.

'Cause the columns of bumpy light were hit down on the ground...

Dogaaaaaaaa!!!

Big bang so bad that your ears are going crazy.

The blast makes my body fly, and me and Mr. Divai roll down the ground with a gobble.

I see. They're attacking me alone.

You can't use an attack like this if you have allies.

(... how am I supposed to attack someone like this? I can't see where you are and...)

Think, his power is the ability to dazzle the light of the moon.

Blink the light, huh?

Don't make me feel like I can do anything, as something vague (bulky).

(... light. Speaking of which, I thought Grandpa Kenny taught you once)

I just saw it, I remembered it with a blurry view on a thick ice mold.

If you slice a bar in a glass cup, the stick will bend and you'll see it.

This strange phenomenon, it's because the light bends.

I see things because the light hits them and they reflect.

So when the light bends, you can't see what you see or look like you're in a different place.

... Really, I know everything. I wonder who Grandpa Kenny was.

(Light, light... No way, is that what you mean?

Pinned.

How come he attacked us on a plain with nothing?

In the woods, dense trees can't use the moonlight.

That leads to a way to kill him.

"Hey, Mr. Divai. The reaction I felt, it's not working yet?

"Ah......"

Maybe that reaction is soma.

He's bending the light and hiding himself.

... if my reasoning is correct, though.

So you can whisper the light to kill him.

The problem is that we can get away with it in half the way.

If there's any light at all, he'll be warped, and his own speed isn't half as fast.

We have to completely separate the light of the moon from the soma in a way that he won't notice.

To do that, we need this man's help.

"... Hey, Mr. Divai. I need your help. To kill him."

"... okay, say it"
