14 Episode 14 Arrows Flew




"Arrows flying out of nowhere." ....... But even so, I think I'll take this offer. I can also use healing magic, so...

"Okay, I understand. If you're so inclined, I'll accept your request. ...... It's really a waste of a wise man's time. ......

Thus, the order was accepted.
After that, the receptionist explained to me where I could get Lunar Metal.

Well, in my previous life, I was able to dodge Son Goku's ruyi-bou strikes that exceeded the speed of sound.
Even though you don't have the same physical ability as you did back then,......, you should still be able to avoid arrows unless you have a lot of trouble.

With that in mind, I left the guild building. And then...

"Myrtle cloud.

I muttered.


A few seconds later.
A few seconds later, the myotome cloud carrying Caucasus and Belzebub flew close to me.

I had asked the Caucasus and the others to wait above the guild building in the myotome while I finished my business at the guild.

"Shall we go then?

"Ah.

"d*mn, I'm tired of waiting.

The two of them were riding in the cloud, and I climbed up to the top of the ...... cloud.




I've heard that you can find Lunametal between the foot of the mountain and the lake, so ...... that's where we're going.

I confirmed my destination from the sky and flew the myotrope towards it.
We flew for more than ten minutes.
We arrived at our destination.

When I retracted the myotrope, I used my nemesis spell.
As a result, ...... I found out that there were some not-so-important demons near me.

Caucasus, I need you to intimidate them.

"All right.

I asked him to do so, and he unleashed a wave of magic to intimidate them.

Valerius, are you sure about this?

Yeah. The little fish are gone. Thank you.

By doing this, I can concentrate on finding Lunametal and avoiding arrows without worrying about demon attacks.

Now that we have the situation under control, let's go look for the Lunar Metal.



We're going to look for runametal.



I've been walking around for about 10 minutes looking for Lunar Metal ore.

I finally found a stone that matched the description given to me by the guild.

By the way, there was no arrow attack until this point.
I've always had a "presence detection" system that can detect the shape and movement of anything within a certain range, but ...... there was no fast reaction of any kind.

It is possible that the threat of the Caucasus may have caused the archer to flee.

That's fine, I thought optimistically as I tried to pick up the ore.
But ....... At that moment, an arrow finally came flying at me.

I quickly twisted my upper body to avoid it.

As I thought, the arrow was easily avoidable.
In addition, thanks to the presence detection, I could tell from which direction the arrow was coming.

Now that I knew it wasn't much of a threat, I could continue picking up Lunar Metal without worrying about the arrow.

But ...... I had a better idea and decided to go with it.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"I don't have to ask you that. Valius is using it to fight off the guy who just shot at him.

The Caucasus questioned and Belzebub guessed my purpose as I took out the staff from the storage spell.

Well, I guess that's a fair prediction.
But you know what? ....... This is not exactly what I had in mind when I made my prediction.

"Belzebub ...... is close, but half off. I'm not trying to take out the guy who shot me with an arrow with a stick.

I said this to Belzebub and extended the staff in the direction the arrow came from.
I extended the wand in the direction of the arrow, just fast enough to keep it from hitting the obstacle.

Soon after, the stick hit something hard.
I stopped extending the wand there.

"Caucasus, Belzebub, get on the myotrope.

I urged them. Then I got on the myotrope too.
And I climbed up into the sky.

"Valerius, what the hell is this?

"Look down. Do you see the wand I left behind?

I pointed to the wand I'd left on the ground.

'Think about it. Someone shot an arrow at us. And that means there was no obstacle between us and that someone. Right?

"Yeah. ...... Oh, yeah!

The Caucasus seemed to have made some kind of sense.
The Caucasus continued.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that can help you.

That's what I meant.

I was impressed by the Caucasian's keenness, and decided to carefully search the sky for anyone in the vicinity of where I had placed the staff.
