Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 72: Traveling To The Dungeon Part One

"Mom, Dad about the matter I told you about..." I had explained everything to Ruth and Cedric about what I heard from the Princess's shadow guard.

"We will take care of Venessa. As for Princess Feia and that bastard brother of yours, we will have to search for them. When you make it back we will have them all in custody for you. For those who follow you just kill them." Ruth answered. I could see she was very angry so I did not press the issue anymore. I just knew that those three would be suffering a lot until we made it back.

"Yeah, treat the people who follow you as practice. In the future when you enter the battlefield you will run into similar situations. So this will be a good learning experience for you." Cedric added. With all that said we talked a bit more before preparing ourselves.

After gathering what we needed for our trip, it was time to set off. Although dusk was settling in we still planned to make up some time by traveling through part of the night. We each carried a small pouch with us and a pack to carry on our backs. This was a normal standard for adventurers. There was a thing called a space pouch, that could carry many items, but to get one you would need enough money to buy a country. Well, that is a bit of an exaggeration, but they are very rare and very expensive. I could have just stuck everything into my inventory, but this was training, and such conveniences were not good during training. So even if we did own a space pouch, I would not have used it.

It took about two hours to leave town. As soon as we exited the city gates we could already tell we were being followed. "A-Are we really going to kill people?" Sam asked nervously. 

"It is either us or them. When the time comes, if you can not do it then just leave it to us." I replied. I did not want the child to have to do something like murder at such a young age if he was not able to. Although I am not much older than him, I have already killed many. But at the time I only did it because I had no choice. This time is the same since they are after my life. But it is different for Sam, they were not here to kill him, just me. I smiled and patted his head as I turned to Marsil and said: "The same goes for you as well."

"Rei, don't worry. Anyone who wishes to harm you, I will stand firm and kill them. I have no issues putting an arrow into some scum's head." Marsil said, her eyes growing cold. I could only guess that Marsil has killed before.

"Alright, enough gloomy talk. We will be stopping once we reach the tree line. We will set up camp there. " Able said with a smile trying to make the mood a little better. He then slid up next to me and whispered: "When we set up camp we will set dummies up into the tents and use illusion magic to hide."

"Mmm, I was thinking of something like that too but I would prefer not to spill blood in my tent. Let's use an illusion that makes it look like we set up camp on the ground today. When we reach the tree line we can cast a fog spell to cover us while we set up." I suggested. I had been thinking about it since we left the city about how to deal with these people. If anything I would prefer to get rid of our pursuers before we entered the dungeon. At least then it would be a bit safer.

"Okay, we will go with this plan. I will explain it to Sam you tell Marsil." Able then pulled Sam to the side while I explained the plan to Marsil.

The trip to the tree line took us all the way until the moon was high in the sky. As soon as we passed the first set of tree's I waved my hand casting a spell that created a dense fog in the area. After which, I made a small pit in the ground to hide in and cast illusion magic so that it would look like we set up camp and went right to bed with one person slowly falling asleep on lookout. The pit was also covered in illusion magic making it seem like nothing but a large boulder for an outsider.

Sadly if they touched anything they would know it was an illusion due to my lack of ability with illusions. It was something that I had been teaching myself as a means to trick an enemy.

An hour later...

"They entered the forest!" A man dressed in black said.

"Why is it foggy here!?" Another man dressed in black asked.

"This forest has always had strange things happening in it since long ago, this is nothing new." A third man dressed in black replied.

"All of you be quiet. We were paid to kill the girl. But since they brought a half breed that doesn't look half bad we will take her as a bonus." The leader of the group said while chuckling.

"Only our Boss knows how to treat us right!." One of the men dressed in black said while licking his lips.

Just listening to their words made me want to kill them. Gritting my teeth I waited for my chance. But before I could even do a thing, Marsil already had her bow in her hand and four arrows were already flying through the air. I guess because of how dense the fog was the men did not see the arrows coming and all four fell to the ground instantly. "Humph! How dare bastards like that say such things about me!" 

I guess their words really pissed her off. I smiled and said: "Well, that was quicker than I expected. But, I think that is only the first group. We will need to keep watch in twos."
