"Aye, I'll cover you."

　A large tree at the end of the forest of illusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were no other trees near the tree, and it looked like a plaza.

　And then, I saw Ai, some mercenaries, and a fallen man engaging in battle in the clearing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if the mercenaries were with Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if the mercenaries here were with Ai, and if that's why they made it this far without getting separated from us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The mercenaries were standing in front of us, and Ai was holding a magic gun from behind.

　Perhaps the ones lying on the ground are the assassins, the shadows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are bleeding, but they seem to be moving, so they are not dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I immediately went to cover them.

　The other guy, Ai, is holding a magic gun in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In response, I activate my magic.

"Go, Black Death Butterfly!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I glanced behind me and saw only a few mercenaries here besides me and Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, the other mercenaries had gotten separated from the group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Somehow we were led out of the forest as we made our way through the forest to get here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess we all had to be careful, but even so it didn't work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a very tricky forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it's a good thing there are still about ten of us, along with the mercenaries who were here before us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the only ones who move in this place besides us are the shadows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then let's go all out from the start.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I produced a jet-black butterfly composed of magic from the palm of my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One after another, the Black Death Butterflies come out and dance in the sunlight pouring down from the trees.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a fantastic sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, only our side of the world could think of it as beautiful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The shadowy figures were greatly disturbed and alarmed by the sudden attack in this supposedly safe place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A large thick tree at the end of the forest had a hut-like structure in the middle of the tree and other places.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe these people are living in the trees.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think so, because in the middle of the commotion, a person's face appears out of a building in the tree tops.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And every time that face comes out of a window or a door, it is shot by the magic bullet of the Eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic bullets, which fly out from the barrel of the gun held with both hands, do not hit the target.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is it because he is aiming at a building on top of a tree that is high above the ground that his aim is off?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, with Ai's sniping ability, it is unlikely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If so, it might be the effect of the forest of illusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"They've evaded us!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just as I'm thinking that, the Eye tells me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After several attempts, all the magic bullets probably didn't hit the target.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the one lying on the ground was not in the tree to begin with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not seeming to be bothered by the lack of hits, Ai simply stated the fact.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it was because Ai's shooting had stopped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of the people who had been looking down from the building on the tree came down from the tree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the building attached to this big tree might have been built so that the stronger ones would live on top of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The person who came out of the building at the top as far as we could see came running down toward the ground at a considerable speed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Come on, Norn. There's a strong one coming."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I could leave, but you don't mind if I drink your blood, do you?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it can't be helped. They look strong. Let's be generous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He guesses the strength of his opponent from the way he runs vertically down the tree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He can't be weak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Every movement of his body showed his high ability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps he is comparable to the leader of the family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not impossible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It can't be that this mysterious place was built only recently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that this big tree has been here for a long time, and the shadows have lived in this forest in coexistence with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were born and raised here, and although they have been active outside as assassins, they have come back to live here again and again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, even a strong person may have been born, like in the village of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the generations passed, the strong ones came to live in the upper floors, and nowadays they are the head of the family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then it might be a little difficult for Ai to fight with him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The eye is not a fighting tool.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Though the magic gun is a strong weapon, it is said to be effective only against knights at most.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a one-on-one fight against the head of the family, the ai does not have a high chance of winning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, this is where I should do my best.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm getting nervous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think I'm getting stronger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I have yet to fight anyone who could be considered the leader of the pack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In Purge town, I fought Guido, who is a master of magic, and his grandson, Graham, the head of the Purge family, but I don't think I could be called the head of the family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if my current strength will be enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I will be killed in the blink of an eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, just because I call myself the head of the clan for the sake of convenience, it doesn't mean that I can prove my strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It depends on the opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they are as strong as Ian, it could be bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, the reason why I think my power might work is because of the existence of the magic sword Norn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword itself is a powerful weapon, and it can also capture power by sucking the opponent's blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If this opponent is really of the master class, I might be able to reach that level if I can capture his power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was only for a short time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I was thinking about this and that, a man came running down from the tree tops and landed on the ground.
