Chapter 76
I woke up from my nap and checked the time, it seems the sun will set soon. Elena is quietly reading a book.
Morning, Elena.1 Seiji-sama, good morning. Sorry, you must have been bored. No, Im the one who proposed the investigation of Scab village. This much is completely fine.
Im going to fetch Aya now, please wait a moment. Yes.
When I confirmed Ayas location, the distance she covered was about 1 day by carriage. As expected of Aya. When I looked at the video, Aya was clad in wind and rushed through with break neck speed.
Teleportation!
As I appeared next to Aya, she suddenly halted her advance. She turned around this way and lowered herself into a fighting stance.
Its me! What, its just onii-chan.
How was it?Was there any monster appeared? There were some who appeared but I ignored them and kept running.
You didnt defeat them? Even if I defeat them, Im not onii-chan so I cant carry them. Come to think of it, youre right.
Ive returned to the room at the inn with Aya.
Aya-san, welcome back. Im back, Elena-chan. Onii-chan didnt do anything strange to you, did he? I didnt! Seiji-sama slept through the day. Whaaat! Worthless.
Please dont say such stupid things. Since Im going to run now, you two behave yourselves. Kay~Yes.
I left the two people and arrived at the location where Aya had reached a little while ago usingTeleportation.
Well, lets run.
I started running withMovement speed reinforcementandQuick. The wind feels so good. The scenery of the forest from the left and right passed and vanished behind me. I didnt get tired no matter how much I run. The only problem is that its hard to run because of the uneven ground. Can I somehow take care of this with magic?
I tried to generate a carpet of ice just slightly ahead of my feet. If only I have Earth magic, I could probably level the ground but the only magic I can use right now to make a flat foothold is Ice magic. With the my running momentum, I get on the carpet of ice. I quickly slid aboard the ice and stopped just by sliding a little. If Im wearing ice skates, I could probably go a little further. But, it was slippery so I couldnt move from there. Since it cant be helped, I break away from the carpet of Ice usingTeleportation.
I see, theresTeleportation!
Though its too late, I tried to advance usingTeleportationto where I could see ahead. The result was no good. TheThe transfer scope for visible areathat I could teleport to is at most 500 m. When transferring to long distances, I couldnt useTeleportationcontinuously. I could teleport about 10 m in succession but when I usedTeleportationwhile running, my running momentum after the teleport will be gone. If I use 10 mTeleportationcontinuously, it would be quicker if I run.
Since it cant be helped, I continued to run using onlyMovement speed reinforcementandQuick. I also needWind magicas expected, when running this way, the wind resistance cant be ignored. When theres an obstacle that suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, I could correct my trajectory using wind gust and avoid it. Speaking of which, I could pass through the enemys body usingLightning flash. If its a trifling obstacle, can I use it to pass through?I decided to try.
While running for a while, a tree fell down on the road.
Now!Lightning flash!
When I usedLightning flash, my body turned into lightning and passed through the fallen tree.
I did it! Success!
N? Wait a sec? Can I run faster if I useLightning flashcontinuously?
I gave it a try. Its really faster.
What was the trial and error until now for!?
I kept on running usingLightning flashcontinuously. Faster faster!Without wind resistance, I passed through the obstacle in straight line. When I got carried away and intensely usedLightning flashto advance, I suddenly felt tired. I stopped usingLightning flashand tried to useAppraisalon myself, my MP almost hit the bottom.
Uwa, its my first time seeing my MP decreased to this extent.
While running normally, I took out a Japanese sweet from the inventory and gobbled it. The Japanese sweets recover a huge amount of MP as expected, my MP recovers rapidly. The recovery amount of sugar candy in particular is absurd. I kept eating Japanese sweets since a little while ago but my stomach didnt feel full no matter how much I ate. Why!?Perhaps, it was usurp from the stomach when Im recovering MP.
While eating Japanese sweets and running using lighting flash,Cautionsuddenly appeared on the map. Besides, their number is huge!They far exceeded 100.
I timidly approached and tried to check the situation. Inside the human village, a horde of goblins are gathered. It seems that the goblins somehow took over the Scab village. Wasnt it destroyed by the demon lords army!?
