CHAPTER 10 – TRAP

Sponsored Content

After the preparations were done, I waited for a little while.

Then Cashel’s party finally arrived at the inner room I am waiting at.

“Ah, Cashel-san arrived, too, huh? Those two gentlemen over there are members of your party, right? Somehow it seems that on the other side of that huge door the Black Soulknight is laying in wait.” (Kelvin)

“Although it was a match to determine who would subjugate it first, you went through the trouble of waiting for us? Very gentlemanly, aren’t you?” (Cashel)

Did I go contrary to Cashel’s expectations? He wears a slightly surprised expression.

Just as Merufina had declared a little while ago, obviously they had planned to assault me while I was fighting the Black Soulknight.
Or maybe they planned to pick the time when I was neglecting my back during the combat.

For the person who challenged them to the match himself to wait for them, they didn’t seem to have considered that possibility at all.

“It appears that the Black Soulknight is restricted as long you don’t go on the other side of the door.
Because strangely it didn’t come to attack over here.” (Kelvin)

Kii….

While saying this, the door opened a little.

Through the gap in the door a giant in a daunting pose wearing a jet black full plate armor could be seen.

In his hand he held an all black bastard sword. 1

Rather than waiting for its prey to come, it was plainly obvious that it was protecting something.

“And, what? Since it is impossible for you to defeat it by yourself after all, you want to cooperate with us?!” (Raji)

Raji raised his voice.

I want him to stop because his loud voice rings in the ears in this airtight space.

“Not quite correct.
Of course, I will win the match.
However, if someone were to interfere in my fight with the Black Soulknight, it would be troublesome.
No, maybe I should rather say I would be troubled if you were to defeat the Black Soulknight?” (Kelvin)

I stopped using keigo.2 As I returned to using casual speech, the three people slowly began to enter combat stances.

Cashel and Raji advanced as vanguards while Gimul fell back to the rear.

“… Danna, this bastard already knew about us ssu~” (Gimul)

“Fuu, noticing it and yet still approaching us solo, not even comprehending the significance of that.
Were you employed by the guild? Or, are you aiming for Raji’s3bounty?” (Cashel)

“Oh no, I am just concerned about the match.
To begin with, the first ones to come charging are you guys, don’t you agree?” (Kelvin)

“Even then, you lured us her for the purpose of trapping us, no? The reason for you pretending to be a rookie was to gain so many achievements and to get us interested in your case.” (Cashel)

“You, what a guy … Indeed! Your skill rank is bound to be high!” (Raji)

Somehow they deepened their misunderstanding of the conversation … it must be because the skill is high!

『The situation isn’t bad.
Please go ahead and make some sort of decision.』(Merufina)

“Maa, either of them is fine.
Although you planned to let me walk into your trap, it is you guys who walked into my trap.
It’s merely such a story.” (Kelvin)

“Hehe, newcomer-danna, if you are going to pick a place, isn’t this a slightly poor location? There is nothing but the entrance and exit in the back and behind this huge door there is the Black Soulknight.
On top of that, the situation at this moment is 3 versus 1.
That’s plenty disadvantageous, no?” (Raji)

Ah, that’s right.

As it is right now, that is, but …

“Isn’t it enough of this tedious talk? You are merely scared, the huge oaf over there, hurry up and start the fight.” (Kelvin)

“Who is scared in this case, eh !? Lowly people such as magicians are just talking big lies! So, bye bye!” (Raji)

Raji heads in a straight line for me.

Just as I thought, he was provoked with the cheap provocations.

Obvious as daylight, a simple-minded person.

“Raji! Don’t get provoked!” (Cashel)

Cashel yelled right away, but it was too late.

The magic I prepared in advanced began its invocation.

“Uo !?” (Raji)

Up until just now the ground was empty, but suddenly it changed into a swamp restricting Raji’s legs.

“You son of a bitch! What have you done?!” (Raji)

“Well, I am sure you want to know what the hell I have done.” (Kelvin)

There is no need to go “What!” He was welcomed by the Grade D green magic [Fetters of quagmire – Mud Bind] which was concealed with [Hide].

This magic changes the foothold to a bottomless quagmire snatching away the mobility of your opponent.

Strictly speaking, the grounds surface changed into a quagmire merely below the target.
Thus there are many situations where it ends up being exposed, for example if the one in duty of support in a party used magic.
The concealment this time wasn’t seen through and because of his ego he went straight into the trap by his own accord.

“This is … [Hide]?” (Cashel)

“Ah, it wasn’t caught by my [Hide Detection] either ssu~” (Gimul)

Maa, with the degree of Grade C it only has a slim chance to be seen through.

Considering this, [Hide] is a quite decent skill actually.

“Shit, such a degree of quagmire.
Having my physical strength …!” (Raji)

“You better don’t try to move by force.
After all it is bottomless.” (Kelvin)

While giving this advice, I shot [Wind] at each of the three people.

Cashel advanced while avoiding it.
He headed towards me as he made a detour around the quagmire.

Although Raji was hit, he strangely didn’t receive any damage.

Gimul was …

“Oi, Gimul, you bastard, don’t just run away!” (Raji)

“Hehe, don’t hate me danna, Raji, before I am crushed to death it’s easier to leave.
That newcomer-san is bad news.
That’s what my instinct tells me ssu~ .
So long!” (Gimul)

『Master, Gimul has begun to escape.
Cashel will reach you in about 10 seconds.』(Merufina)

I know.

Even so, I had expected this to happen.

“Block the passage, Clotho” (Kelvin)

My magic range extends from this room until the passageway.

Therefore it is possible to summon Clotho in the back of Cashel’s party.

“Wh-What did you do!?” (Gimul)

Casting its light.
the magic square was instantly deployed at the entrance to the passageway.

Being on guard, Gimul stopped.

As the light faded, Gimul saw the slime which wasn’t there before.

Having the same degree of height as Raji, it was an enormous slime.

Clotho – 0 years old – Gender: none – Slime Gluttonia (T/N: >> Gurantonia <<)
