Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 510 Opportunity
Explosion and debris fly by sending fire and wind magic into the dome-shaped stone wall.A weapon that will indiscriminately kill those around it.In other words, the dome itself is like a bursting shell.
Shit!
It's too late to draw magic to protect yourself from now on, and it's subtle whether you can protect yourself with it in the first place.
We have to find another obstacle and hide behind it.
The first thing I came up with was hiding behind the stone wall I had just defeated, but I don't know how much explosion it would cause, and if it was buried in flying debris, it would be difficult to get out.
Something... something?!
"...?! That's..."
That's when I get distracted by what jumps into my eyes.
Giggle, giggle, giggle!
The ground shakes more, and you can see from your experience that you are on the verge of explosion.
"Woah! I don't have time to worry!"
A few moments after I discovered a way to live and acted.
BOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Even if it's hidden, you can still hear the bursting of the tympanic membrane.An explosion that rocks the ground as if it were an earthquake.It was such a big explosion that I was worried that it would blow up the hiding place.
The explosion stopped, the vibration passed, and the sound of the rubble falling stopped, when I started to be moved by the fact that my heart was still pulsing violently.
Rattlesnaps.....
You can hear the rubble breaking down.
"Hahaha! You blew it!"
And I can hear the voice of the woman... Anna.
I can't see my face, but I'm sure of it.
"It looks like you couldn't escape the boulders!"It took me a lot of trouble! "
"But, but... was it nice...?"
"What? What?"
"Well, that... the vanguard was involved, and it caused a lot of damage..."
Huh?!
"Huh!?"
"If you let that man live, the damage will be even greater!"I don't understand that, so Puppets can't get much of a position! "
Bakiki!
”Gaaa!”
Seems like he's arguing hard.
They think I'm dead.From what I've heard, it seems that the people who were trying to get to Nil and the others were involved in the big bang, so it's good to think that the stop was quite successful.If the people who are heading for Nil and the others are gone, I will continue to hide and go to cover them, and I will do so at a definite time...
Thinking about it...
Let's go!
Yes, but...
"Damn... what? It's not like you're scared because there's only a magic unit, is it?"
"Ngh!!"
"Next time you open your mouth, I'll kill you."
"Ugh......"
I knew that only Anna and the wizard's troops were left, and that they were headed for Nil and the others.
When I hear the footsteps go away, I move too.
"It's pitch dark..."
My field of view is zero. In total darkness, completely invisible.
An explosion is imminent. What I found was a little hole in the ground.It was difficult to understand because the grass was growing, but I noticed that there was a small hole in the big fist.
This is a meadow, where there are usually monsters and small animals, so it was more likely that the hole was a small animal's nest, but I decided to bet on it.
Worst of all, I could use my Holy Soul Magic to defend myself.Thinking like that, I ran towards the hole and stepped on the ground as hard as I could.
Then, my p * ssy feet entered the ground and fell down with the crumbled ground.It's probably an underground tunnel that leads to another location, not a tunnel used to cause this big bang.The fire magic and the wind magic did not flow into my tunnel, but immediately blocked the hole that had fallen with the primary earth magic.
Due to the nature of the dome-shaped stone wall installed on the ground, it had little impact under the ground, and only a little soil and stone had collapsed.Of course, there are no injuries.
If I hadn't noticed an empty hole in the ground, I would have had to use the Holy Soul Magic that I had worked so hard to preserve, and I was lucky.
There was quite a flashy battle around, and the weak part of the tunnel collapsed due to the impact, creating a small hole on the surface.
Whatever you do, I'm glad you saved me.
I try to use my basic light magic, the lights, to see what's going on around me.
"Whoa?!"
However, when you activate the magic of the lights, you can see the figure in front of you.
Since I fell, I didn't make any noise other than my own, so I was quite surprised and made a pathetic noise.
The figure stands about five meters away from me, and when I activate the light, I try to cover my eyes with my hand and crouch to get away from the light.
Rather than being dirty, the skin and fabric are so dirty that it can be said to be black.A thin body in a saggy eye, yet a puffy belly.It is very similar to the symptoms of malnutrition I have seen in war materials.I mean, it's just me.
Certainly, a child who became malnourished accumulated water in his stomach and became ascites, causing his stomach to swell...That means... he looks old, but this slave is a boy rather than a man... That's a terrible story...
”Hee!”
Chirp...
When I let in the light, I let out a frightened voice and stepped back a few steps into the tunnel.At that time, the chains stretching from the shackles attached to the hands, feet and neck sound.
I fell down and I couldn't escape because I wanted to get away, so I just wanted to be quiet and get over it...
"After all, was there a slave..."
"Ngh!!"
The slave boy, who was terribly frightened, asked about me from the gap of gray hair that was stretching to his waist.
Perhaps you've been ordered to die trying to escape through this tunnel.
You seem to understand that you can't escape from me and die, and that you can't win a fight with a malnourished body.
If it was moving around under the ground, it would have been my guess, and the boy would be able to use magic.Still, he didn't try to use magic.
Of course, he has no weapons and no armor, so he's unlikely to beat me.It's not like you're accepting death, but at least you don't see hostility.
By not attacking me, you are expressing your will not to attack me.For my part, I don't want to shake my blade down against a child's slave who is undernourished and not hostile.Well, there's no reason to kill this slave, and there's no need for it.If they attack us, we will of course defend them, but... even if they attack us, I think it would be the right thing to do as a person to keep them to the point of stunning them.
"...... I have no intention of attacking."
Speak firmly against the fearful male slave of the human race.
………………
The slave boy looked at me with an expression that he didn't know what he was saying, but when he put the sword in the sheath, he slowly turned to me.
"As long as they don't attack, I won't attack them."If you haven't received such an order, can you pass it through? "
"...... Ah...... uu......"
I'm still frightened of what I'm saying, but a slave boy tries to say something while pointing deeper.But... it seems that this male slave's tongue has been cut off. He can speak, but he can't speak.
If my tongue is cut off on top of my malnutrition and pushed into such a dark hole, I will die.The Puppets really want to do whatever they want.
Is it okay to go?
"... ah... ahhh..."
Apparently, she wants to tell you something. She shows it with her fingers in the back, and she speaks out again and again.
Are you trying to tell me it's dangerous...?No, then there must be a sense of crisis in this slave himself.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
I don't know what to say, and as I twist my head, the slave boy looks back and gestures to me.
I understand that you want to follow me, but I'm not sure why.I think there is a good reason for this, because I was called on purpose, but there is a good chance that you are trying to trap me, so I will carefully follow behind the boy.
The tunnel itself is quite large, and even if it is upright, there is a margin of about 30 centimeters to the ceiling of the tunnel.
The width is about three people, and it is more roomy than expected.
As for the effect of the explosion earlier, the walls and ceilings are peeling off in various places, but like the place where I jumped in, there is no large collapsed part, and it can be seen that it is made of sturdy material.
I'm going two meters behind the boy in a tunnel like that.It was a sense of distance to think that the boy himself would turn around and launch an attack.
However, without looking back, the slave herself went through the tunnel.
And then...
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
The boy suddenly stops his foot and lets out a voice towards the back of the tunnel.
"What...?"
I have no idea what he is trying to say.
Should I stay behind the boy like this, or should I just overtake the boy and go ahead... you're speaking up in a completely different way...
I've been thinking a lot, but after a while I figured out what he wanted to do.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Several times, when he was shouting towards the back, from the back of the tunnel, the voice of someone who could only shout was heard in the same way.
"Ahh?!"
Have you noticed my presence? I can feel the agitation of the slaves in the back.
Ahhhhhhhhh!
However, when the male slave in front of me gestured a lot, the figure slowly appeared from the back.
The boy who came out from the back was a human boy, and his hair color was blue, except that he looked exactly like the male slave in front of him.Perhaps all the slaves sent into the tunnel are children in the same situation.
The blue-haired boy who appeared from the back was quite alert to me at first, but somehow when communicating with slaves and gestures, the boy slave in the back leaned against the wall and passed through.
There are many slaves in the tunnel, and it seems that the gray-haired boy in front of me is helping me to communicate with me every time and avoid being reported when I run away.
It was a habit when I was in Japan, and I lowered my head slightly as I passed, but the blue-haired boy looked at me with his fallen eyes.
There was nothing you could do, but you wouldn't have let your guard down until you couldn't see us.
People will keep looking at people's evil parts, and it's only natural that you can't trust others so easily.The male slave in front of you who is helping me is a rarer category.
As he walks for a while, the boy stops his legs.
Ah! Ah!
And the male slave shows me the upper part of the tunnel with his finger.
When you turn the light towards your fingertips, you can see the longitudinal hole.
Apparently, you have to go up from there.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
As far as the gestures go, I think there's a battle going on as I climbed up here...He seemed to think he was going to head for his people, and he gave us directions to get there.
If they don't show you, you don't know where to go, and if you go up there, you're in the middle of an enemy!It was possible, and you should be grateful to the boys.
If you go out of your way to do that to a stranger, you've got a lot of grudges against Puppet.If I can get them to blow me off, I'll spare your help.
"... thank you very much."
Ahh!
The boy makes a smile that is not clumsy with the face he is made of.
"That's right..."
I drew the magic circle of the inventory on the spot.
The slave boy looked a little worried, but when he saw what was taken from the inventory, his worried expression disappeared immediately.
What I took out was food that I had properly made and put in my inventory.It's nothing serious, it's just a respite, and they might say it's hypocritical, but I saw them, and they helped me... and I couldn't leave without giving them anything.
"I'll leave it for you, so share it with your friends."I can only do this much... "
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
When the boy grabs my hand with both hands, he puts his forehead against my hand and lowers his head again and again.
Even though I'm malnourished enough to change my body shape, and I'm supposed to be pretty hungry... I'm old enough to call myself a child, and it's not usually easy to prioritize my gratitude over reaching for food.
What I've done may be just a break from hypocrisy, but if they're happy at all, that's fine.
The boy hugged the food I served, lowered his head again and again, and then returned to the blue-haired boy who had given way to me earlier.
If you become malnourished like you change your body shape, you should be at the level of a life that will almost disappear.Few people in modern Japan have ever experienced starvation that swells their stomachs.I can't even imagine how hard that must be.
I'm going to give you something good for digestion as much as I can... I wish I could have made more of this and put it in my inventory.
That said, there's no way I can do anything more for them from here, and I'm going to turn my gaze towards the pit.
I don't know what they're gonna get out of here, but if we crush Puppets, they might be set free.It should ultimately be in their interest to defeat them, rather than give them something here and now.
I don't know if it will really lead to their liberation… but it will be better than a situation where bandits and nobles are working hand in hand to trick and abuse people.
In my heart, I thanked the slave boys, and then I looked up.By making a vertical hole in this way, it is easy to understand where the dome-shaped stone wall is located, even if it is in the tunnel.If we think of the dome as a kind of base, it is unlikely that we will go all the way to the ground, and if we put tables and chairs there appropriately, it will be even less likely.
I think he's a good hand.By using and improving the play-like magic that players were using, we were able to create an effect that matched the battlefield and the situation.
There are a lot of inhuman parts, I don't feel like using it myself, it's quite unusual, but... it would be a very effective way to kill me for the first time.If they don't use it to move around in hiding...
You might think it would have been nice to do this from the beginning, but it's only effective because I'm thought to be dead. If someone notices that I've entered the tunnel, the flames and wind will be poured into the tunnel, and it will be a big deal.It's not that simple.
Whatever you do, the situation is one of opportunity.
They thought I was dead, completely unconscious, and the vanguard was gone to protect Anna and the others.
It was a pretty big explosion, and Nil might be worried about it, but we should use the advantage of being out of our minds here as much as we can.
The longitudinal hole is about 2 meters high.From the floor of the tunnel, it is about four meters to the ground.The longitudinal hole is only closed at the top and the lid is only covered.It will be easy to get out.
However, if a battle is taking place above, there will be enemies everywhere from the moment they emerge... It is conceivable, so I will only act with caution.
Tan!
First, you kick the ground, jump up vertically, and stick to the vertical wall.It was right under the soil with the lid on.
……………………
I can't see what's happening outside, and I have to judge by the sound.The vertical hole should be connected to the dome-shaped stone wall.
There's still no one left in the dome, it's quiet.
Just in case, for a while, I was relying on the sound to explore the outside, but I still didn't feel any sign of people, so I decided to get out of there.
Staying down forever misses the chance to make a corner.
Gah... gah! Bokko!
After several beatings on the top of the dirt, the arm pulls out of the dirt and goes out to the ground.
Bakko!
I will take away the dust from the top, but in the meantime I will not hear the voice of the people.Slowly and carefully, I looked around, but after all, there was no one.
I just lifted my body out and crawled out of the hole.
”Haaaaaaa!”
"Ohhhh!"
It's really faint, but you can hear someone screaming from outside the dome.Apparently, Nilu and the others were a bit far away from each other.
To make the dome look like a simple resting place, there is a chair made of magic, etc., but if you look at it now, it is made for camouflage, and it seems that there is no sign of being used.
It was built to be used as a weapon from the beginning.I don't know who came up with this plan and executed it, but I do know that he's not a fool.
I asked from the dome what was going on, but there was no sign of anyone around, and no one attacked me when I went outside.
Knock, knock, knock!
However, I could tell that I could hear the sound of the swordshed slightly and that Nilu and the others would be fighting in that direction.
The fact that the battle was going on probably meant that the opponents had some tough guys on their side.
