But Ian was no longer looking at him anymore.

A knight. The imperial knights?

Plausible scenarios flickered through his mind as he scratched his chin.

The extremely enraged King of Agellan. His knights dispatched under his command to track them.

Most likely the majority couldnt have crossed the border. Five at most. There was an even higher chance it was less than that.

Although half doubting, they must have moved in the direction of Roussard at first.

After a few days, they probably realized that they had gone down the wrong path.

And from then on, they must have issued wanted posters in every village they stopped by, changing direction.

It was the stupidest thing the knights could have done.

If things got bigger, even money-blinded lords could get involved in it as much as mercenaries and merchants.

Looking at the situation, it seemed only a matter of time.

After that, an unpredictable mess would truly unfold.

I heard that there are things like our names and descriptions splattered all around nearby Isnt the tail getting too big to cut off cleanly?

Miguel asked carefully.

Ian shrugged.

If so, first get rid of these.

Miguel got off the drivers seat.

Soon, they tied the corpses onto horse saddles and scattered the horses in all directions.

It was to make the battle area discovered as late as possible, even though it wouldnt be much help.

Ian, leaving one horse, got on the saddle.

It was to secure one more means of mobility.

From now on, it would be a race against time.

His eyes met Lucis sitting in the cart. He smiled nonchalantly.

Even after cutting my hair and making a fuss, we got caught in the end.

Luci shook her head.

Thats why we were able to come this far without incident. Its okay.

Her voice didnt even tremble despite the wind of bloodshed just now.

After all, she was probably the one most accustomed to death at the age of twelve.

Blinking, Luci added.

But why didnt you use magic? You were going to kill them anyway.

Curious about that even in this situation, a mages temperament doesnt change, huh.

In fact, he did use gray magic, but Ian shrugged, chanting to himself inwardly.

You should only use magic when necessary. If I use magic on guys like this too often, there wont be any magical power left. Were in the twilight of magical power now.

As Luci nodded.

Ian suddenly raised both arms.

Look at me now. This is what happens when I fight with a sword.

You look frustrated.

Thats right.

But it looks cool. You look strong.

Shes stubborn as expected as a mage.

As Ian licked his lips.

So what are you going to do now? Should we just keep going?

Miguel, getting on the drivers seat, asked.

No.

Ian looked around at the mountain range connected over a distance.

At this rate, their location would be known in a few days at the earliest.

If we cut across there, how much time could we save?

It was time to use Plan B.

Miguel sighed.

No matter how I think about it, I dont think its a good decision. At best we can reduce three days

If we get surrounded and chased within that time by staying still, youll change your mind.

Ian spat out calmly.

Miguels sigh deepened.

They were currently trailing the mountain. More precisely, they were entering the valley between the mountains.

Although there was a path like a mountain trail connected.

As if people hadnt come for a long time, the condition was terrible.

It was natural. According to Miguel, this place had a rumor of demons living here.

I heard the rumor years ago. By now things like the madness of the Black Wall or freakish grudges must be lurking with some left over.

Dont worry. I dont intend to tell you to fight them head on. You just have to protect the carriage well. Besides.

Ian looked up at the sky.

The darkening clouds.

Anyway, its too late to go back.

It seemed Miguel had never even considered it, but.

It had been a contingency plan in mind from the moment he devised the plan to move near the evil place.

The pursuers wouldnt even dare to follow them into the evil place, thinking they would just would not have entered there.

Even if they noticed, the gutless bastards wouldnt have the guts to follow them in.

In this case, they could even shorten the schedule, so it was killing two birds with one stone.

I miss Philip. If that guy was here, he would have taken my side at a time like this.

Miguel murmured as if resigned.

Ian snorted.

It wouldnt have made a difference anyway.

The horse he rode snorted.

Not just it, but the horses pulling the carriage were also terrified.

It was a natural reaction.

Looking anywhere, it was bleak without even a hint of vitality, including the completely blackened trees.

Something was definitely lurking on this mountain.

Crackle-

?!

Miguel abruptly turned his head at the sound brushing past his ear.

But there was nothing visible.

Just the branches left on the trees and the night sky covered with dark clouds.

Crackle- Rustle-

Is it the sound of the wind?

No way.

Ians gaze had already sunk cold after snorting derisively.

It was because he had already heard this kind of sound a few days ago.

I think I know what kind of monster lives here.

What kind of monster lives here?

It was then that Ian suddenly raised his hand.

Turning in the direction he pointed, Miguels eyes widened.

!

It was because he finally confirmed the figure moving on the tree like lightning.

The thing that hid like a shadow outside his field of vision was a dark gray spider almost the size of a wolf.

A cave spider

Thats right. Thats a cave spider. And that one over there. And that one over there, too.

As Ian looked around and said.

Frozen for a moment, Miguel hurriedly reached into his bag and pulled out a torch.

Whoosh-

The moment the flames blazed up, Miguel was able to see the sparkling eyes amidst the trees.

Over ten cave spiders were watching them.

All the cave spiders in Belronde escaped from here.

Then The witch rumored to live here is

Their mother, I guess.

Swish- Swish-

As if that word was a signal, the wind-like scuttling sounds of cave spiders rushed in like waves from all directions.

It was then that Ian suddenly looked back at Luci.

Watch closely.

!

Lucis eyes widened.

Because the pupils of Ian gazing at her had already turned blazing red like flaming.

This kind of situation is when magic should be used.

Whoosh

Fiery red fireballs simultaneously soared around him.
