TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 41
The passage to Arcazam
opened right after the mirror was shattered.
Nozomu jumped into the
white light and saw hundreds of rooftops spread out below him. He also saw the
huge southern gate and two roads leading to the city of Arcazam.
He had popped up a few
dozen meters above the south gate of Arcazam.
"This, I will die
if I miss my landing..."
He timed his movements
and swung his katana in rapid succession.
Qi technique [Fan
Shaped Sail]
Using the Qi film
produced as a foothold to kill the impact, Nozomu landed on the ground.
Where he landed, Mars
and Feo were staring at Nozomu in surprise.
"What the hell
happened to you, suddenly appearing out of thin air?"
"Well, a few
things happened. Sorry, right now I..."
"You have no
time, right? Can you do something about it?"
Nozomu frowned at
Mars' seemingly serious words, but he continued to move his feet forward.
The destination, of
course, was Shina, who did not respond at all when her best friend called out
to her.
"Nozomu, Shina is
..."
"Leave the rest
to me"
Nozomu gently
entrusted the weeping Mimuru to Tima, and stood in front of Shina.
Shina was staring
blankly into the void, and Nozomu felt anger welling up from within his chest.
"Stay away, you
scourge! Don't touch my great-granddaughter!"
Triforium, the person
who sealed Shina's mind, raised his voice at the appearance of the source of
the problem.
The old elf, whose
spirit magic has been sealed by Rauls, has been separated from Shina, but his
feelings for his great-granddaughter have not wavered.
At the same time, he
expressed his anger toward the source of his great-granddaughter's change.
The old elf said that
his great-granddaughter was very important to him, and yet he tried to force
her to go home by blocking her mind. The anger expressed by the old elf even
after taking such an action was more than enough to arouse Nozomu's indignation.
"Phew..."
He took a deep breath
to calm his anger, which was trying to push away his reason.
The priority now was
not to vent his anger on the old man. It was to release Shina's cage that
sealed her mind. And to help Irisdina, who was on the verge of becoming a
ghoul.
Once again, Nozomu
looked into Shina's eyes. The depths of her eyes, which were blank and
reflected nothing, seemed to shake slightly.
He concentrated his
attention on the spirits surrounding Shina.
The connection between
the spirits that have attached themselves to her and sealed her mind was so
strong that Nozomu felt as if stiff vines were wrapping around her whole body
and wrapping her in them.
(To rip off the
spirits who have made such a strong contract, I need to ...)
Nozomu could perceive
the spirits, but he could not communicate with them. This was because he was
lacking in the necessary understanding of the spirits.
Then, there would be
only one thing he could do. Nozomu, with determination, put his hand on the
chains that bind him.
