It's Sudden, but I Came to Another World! But I Hope to Live Safely Chapter 264

Published at 26th of April 2023 05:33:23 AM

The Ts'doari use some kind of concealment magic on their weapons and traps. Because of this, perception with the eyes and ears is useless. But if we compare our talents as bastards, I have the advantage.

"Ah! I'm not sure what to make of this.

I've experienced Lakra's warding, Mix's invisible throwing knives, and other attacks that are hard to see. My body is able to keep up with my instincts' urgent evasive maneuvers. Well, to be honest, I think it's pretty bad that you can't even feel the attack because you can't see it.

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. But in terms of physical ability alone, he's somewhat inferior to Ecdysium and Mikus. At least I'm not lagging behind in physical skills, thank goodness for that.

I don't see it. That's your talent as a fallen child. That's your talent as a fall guy.

I'm sure you're not the only one. It doesn't matter how good your eyes are if the person you're looking for is a bloody idiot.

That's a cheap shot.

You know what? I'm a pretty thrifty guy, you know? I don't touch expensive things.

I can hear his voice, but I can't see Tudori. He's been throwing knife-like objects, leading us into traps, and showing no signs of approaching. There's no way to win if you don't get in close somehow, but insulting the respected Rituals isn't going to do the trick.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm sorry. That was more effective than I thought!

Honnou-sama's kicking style has changed slightly. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm not sure what to make of this. That's a little too easy!

If I could, I'd counter with a quick strike, but since I can't see you, I can't take a bad step. It's a good idea to take a half step back first, avoid the attack, and then strike.

"Ouch!

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few. He leaps with the safe foot and moves to the top of the pile of crates. I'm not sure what to do. What do you mean your instincts aren't reacting?

Your crisis-sensing ability reacts more strongly to threatening events and less to lesser threats. If you get mixed up in a deadly trap and set a trap that causes minor injuries, you will not be able to react.

...... Oh, I see. You're a very good analyst, aren't you?

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. I knew from Instinct-sama's warning that Ts'doari was planting something on the ground. But what Instinct was looking out for was another blade, perhaps one that was poisoned.

So he pretended to be provoked and jumped on me, turning Instinct's attention to himself and making me step on the blades he had scattered around. This guy is stronger than I thought.

If there's a poison on him that takes away his freedom, his instincts will respond well. But I really don't like these little attacks. It brings back memories of being beaten to a pulp by Exoik.

"My orders are to stop you. Of course I'll kill you, but that's just the result. I'll continue to gouge you until you run out of energy.

The injury to my leg is minor. If I had to step on the blade again and again, I wouldn't be able to run properly, but in my current state, all I have to do is grit my teeth and I'm the same as always. If this turns into an endurance battle, there's no way I can win. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

"It's like a confession of love. If I were at a bar, I might accidentally agree to it. ....... Well, I'm relieved to hear you say that. In other words, you're going to come after me,......?

He jumped out with enough force to blow up the crate and headed for the other door. The floor is already littered with countless invisible blades, so it's useless. So--

"Walls and crates as scaffolding. ......?

You don't normally run, you don't have blades in your walls!

In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find it on the web. If you take turns kicking the crates against the wall, you can move forward without touching the ground. And if T'Dwali was spreading blades in the battle, then there are no ...... humble traps behind this door!

Kick down the door and run to the back of the passage. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea. You've probably thought about the possibility of me running out of the room.

So, ......, there it is. That's where I'm going to use it.

I'm going to use that.

You're right, he's going to be unpredictable. I didn't expect him to run deep into enemy territory, even though the road we came in on is blocked.

But the road ahead is blocked and will eventually lead to a cul-de-sac. There's no way out of this place without my key. I said I'd hunt him down until he's dead, but there's no need for me to go after him. You can just wait here for Harkdock to come back with more traps.

"What a waste ......!

A roar suddenly rang out from the back of the corridor. The only person ahead is Harkdock, and it's obvious he's up to something. But what is he doing? Did he get desperate because I didn't come after him?

And the roar again, a little muffled than before. What's he up to? Is it doing something to lure me in?

"What the hell?

It would take a pretty big move to make such a roaring sound. You are wasting your magic power just to lure me in? It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Go out to the corridor and move towards the place where Harkdock was headed. Proceed with caution, taking into account the possibility that he might be lurking around a corner, on the ceiling, or in the shadows. When I'm really hiding, I can not only eliminate magic and appearance, but also sound and smell. I'm sure he understands that Harkdock can't notice my approach, so is he setting up some kind of contact trap?

If it's a trap caused by physical contact, such as a squeaker, it can detect my presence. But I'm not the kind of person who would fall for such an obvious trap.

We're almost at the end of the line. Since there's been no sign of Harkdock so far, he's just around the bend. Should I set it off? No, we should just check it out and fall back again. Whatever he's up to, he's not going to get out of this place unless he beats me.

"Inai ......? Sonna, sonna bakana!

There's no sign of Harkdock in the cul-de-sac. Where'd he hide out before he came here? Not likely. There's no way an amateur could fool my eyes with that kind of hiding. Then this is ......!

There's a huge hole in the wall of the cul-de-sac. It's just enough for one person to get through, but it's definitely a dug passage. Are you saying that Harkdock dug through the wall to get to another place?

It's not that hard to figure out if it's just location. If you have a map in your mind of the places that divided the Hurkdocs, you can easily determine which direction leads to the other passage.

This is not good, if Harkdock should reach Lord Littoral, ...... we must hurry and follow him!

I entered the hole and made my way to the back. The roar we heard was less than ten times. I'm not sure where it's leading, but it's not very far.

What? Something's wrong. The hole is made of soil, so it's natural that it feels different from the corridor when you step on it. But is the soil really this soft?

"Thanks for chasing me. Here's a big hug for you, take it!

What?

I heard Harkdock's voice and knew I was trapped. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.

.

It's not a direct hit, but it's right on! I can't say it was a direct hit, but I did manage to hit Tsdooris with one of my best moves!

To be honest, I wasn't sure if Ts'doari would come after me or not. You know how they say you can't find a place that's been treated? So there must be a way out of this place, but there's a good chance it's hidden by Ts'doari. But if I'm going to make another way out, there's no other way but to chase it.

I mimicked a part of the demon possessing my right arm into the soil at the entrance of the hole I dug, and planted it so that when he steps on it, it will be transmitted to me who was hiding deep in the cave. I guess I was too caught up in what I could and couldn't see, and the dirt didn't even alert him.

I could have used a detection spell, but that would have given away his location to me. I figured Ts'doari wouldn't voluntarily use detection spells since he was hiding.

I crawled out of the hole cautiously, wary of a counterattack. I was fine when I made the hole in the wall, but now I was covered in scratches because I had to use my backhand in a small space to dig deeper. The blow to blow away the Ts'doari was not aimed directly at the Ts'doari, but at a bend in the hole. ...... The aftermath was horrible.

Tsdari was slammed into the wall on the other side of the hole. If you can see it, it means that his invisibility spell is no longer maintained due to the previous blow.

"Good. ......

So that's your real face.

"What?

Ts'doari's outfit wasn't that unusual. It was the kind of outfit an adventurer woman who specializes in scouting would like. Her face looked as serious as you would expect from a conversation, and the scars on her face were just as you would expect.

It's not like Gilista's claw tattoo, it's a real scar. Nearly half of his face was covered with burn marks, which seemed to extend all the way to his throat and torso. In addition, on the left side of the eye, there is a blade scar. It looks very old, but considering ...... Tudori's age, it means that he was given these scars at an early age.

You ...... saw Tana ......!

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I'm sure you have a great deal of inferiority complex about your face. I'm sure you've heard of it.

I'm not going to brag about my misfortune.

I don't want to brag about my misfortune, I don't want to talk about it. I'm not going to talk about my misfortune.

You can't compare it to something your parents did.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it's a good idea. It's a technique that can blow off your torso if you take a direct hit, and you didn't have a wardrobe like Lakra.

"Oh, well, you know. I'm not sure how to say this in a relationship where people are killing each other. ....... Can we stop this now?

f*ck you.

I'm not f*cking around. You and I had a kill-or-be-killed relationship, and now the game is over. It's great that you're trying to get back up after that injury, but you're not using any recovery magic.

If this was an ecu, you could have used recovery magic to ease the pain and used the chain to get up. In that case, the fight would continue until one of us died.

But this Tudor doesn't show any signs of trying to heal his own injuries. I guess he's been developing only his own talents and hasn't reached out to other areas. I'm in the same boat.

"What the hell is ......?

"If you're going to get up, you just have to kill it. If you're going to get up, just kill it. There's no point in disappearing now.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I'm taking it easy on him, but it's still pretty effective. I'm sure his ribs are busted up.

You're just like the others! You're just like the rest of them! You despise my ugly face and look down on me!

I see you as a loser. That's all I'm saying. You say you're ugly, but you have a nice face.

She has scars, but she's a good woman. She's got a serious face, unlike Gilista. He's scary even if he doesn't have a tattoo on his face.

"You!

"Don't scream at me over a scar on my face. There you go.

What?

He sharpened the demon claws on his right arm and slashed his own face. I can't recreate the burn mark, but the wound on the left side of his eye should be almost the same.

"Ouch. But that's all. It's just a scratch. It hurts now, but the pain will go away soon. It's probably true that you've been through a lot, and it's probably inevitable that the scars remind you of the past. But you were picked up and saved by Ritual, weren't you? If you really want to fight for him, don't let the past hold you back. Let's show him what you look like now that you've been saved.

"......

I don't want to compare who's unhappier, you or me, but... We're both saved. I'm not going to compare you to someone who is unhappy or unhappy, but you and I are both saved.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one with a bad taste in my mouth. I was saved by my brother Jethro. So I've decided to spend the rest of my life repaying him for saving my life. I want to be his proud right hand man and show him how much he saved me.

......

Don't shut up. I'm sure you're not the only one. ...... Well, you and I think differently, so forget what I just said. I'll leave you alone today without killing you for my own personal reasons. You can't fight anymore with that injury anyway. I'm going to stop Ritual, but I'm not going to kill you. And if you're done with all that and you still have a grudge, come back anytime. I'll deal with you then and I'll kill you next time.

I smiled, but Tudori's expressionless gaze hurt me. I'm not very good at dressing up, that's for sure. I'm going to meet up with ...... Masetta and the others as soon as possible.
