Waking up without Adoâs Peropero alarm somehow makes me feel lonelyâŠ
It seems everyone already went out.
No one is in the room.
When I go outâŠ
Oh.
Aisha is there.
ăMorning, Aishaă
ăTokukawa, good morningă
Aisha returns greeting politely.
But, sheâs restlessly swinging her sword.
She might be still bothered by letting Thunder Sword Virgo escape.
Something is on my mind.
When Aisha stabbed him, her sword just slipped through.
That is baffling.
Virgo himself saidăSword doesnât work against meă.
Something like that is⊠strange.
ăAisha, just who is Thunder Sword Virgo? He had some strange fighting technique. Your sword slipped through him, right?ă
ăThat guy, huh⊠heâs a rare type of mage, an Enchanteră
ăEnchanter?ă
ăYes, thatâs right. Heâs a mage which possesses spirits in his body in order to fight. Iâve heard itâs a variation of summoning magic, but since Enchanters are so rare I donât know muchă
Ho~u.
Is that so?
The moment he shoutedăElemental Enchant, Raijuuă.
His power certainly increased.
Raijuu must be one of the spirits he possesses in his body.
ăThen, about your sword slipping through?ă
ăItâs probably because of high integration with his spirit. Iâve heard itâs called a Unification⊠The mage would integrate his body with a spirit nullifying physical attacksă
ăHow troublesomeâŠă
ăYesă
ăThen, about spirits⊠Raijuu? He shouted that, bută
ăMost likely. Iâve heard that everyone in his guild is an Enchanter. They attacked my country to look for valuable spirits in order to posses them in their bodies. Raijuu is most likely one of the stolen spiritsă
ăSo thatâs why⊠he mistook me for a spirit of the huge tree, huhă
Aisha san looks at me.
Her expression changed as if a fog has cleared up.
Nn?
Did something happen?
ăThat makes sense. The reason he came into this dungeon. His purpose was a spirit after all. Iâve heard about a Spirit of the huge tree beforeâŠă
ăSpirit of the Huge tree?ă
ăYes. There are old rumors about spirits living in huge trees, the rumors also say that miraculous thins happen when you come across themă
ăWhat do they look like?ă
ăIâm certain it was⊠a mysterious reflection or⊠a talking rabbit⊠and so onă
Are.
I might have met the Spirit of the huge tree.
Was the pink Usagi-san the spirit of this broken huge tree?
It has also shown me some strange images after all.
tte, wait a second.
Rather than thatâŠ
ăDoes that mean I am being targetted by Virgo?ă
ăYes. Tokukawa, are you not a spirit?ă
ăNo, not at all. Iâm originally a vampireă
ăIs that so⊠But, Virgo doesnât believe that, right? He will certainly try hunting you downă
ăRight. From our talk, it doesnât seem like heâs someone who can be convinced by wordsă
Un.
The battle yesterday started so abruptly.
I think the same thing will happen next time I meet him.
ăBut, please rest assured. Itâs just my opinion, but there is a way to defeat Virgo even if heâs unified with a spirită
ăWhat do you mean?ă
ăSpirits are not invincible. Everything except physical attacks should work. Besides, these guys are hunting for spirits, which means they had to defeat the spirits firstă
ăIâm glad. That heâs not an invincible opponentă
ăHowever⊠Raijuu is dangerous. Itâs pretty formidable. I canât get discouragedă
ăMe too, huhâŠă
Yesterday was somewhat evenly matched.
Obtaining some kind of game winning skill might be necessary.
Which means⊠developing a new type of bullet orâŠ
I might be able to obtain it once I evolve again.
Either way, I need opportunities for my growth.
Itâs a powerful opponent in a while.
Iâm itching to put my skills to use.
ăAisha, letâs defeat Virgo togetheră
ăYes, Tokukawa. I will accomplish my mission. Iâve chased this guy all the way to this dungeon, after allă
