Neta Chara Tensei Toka Anmari da!

Hebrew and Glad were both mercenaries that turned into bandits.

“What do you think?”

The two of them observing two girls from hundreds of meters away.

Following Aizen’s order to check the south area, they quickly found the presence of those two.

“No matter where I look, they were just fools. The elf still a brat, the other…what was that? A noble? She was terrific, I want to embrace her! Messed her up! Break her up!”

Although Gladd said it with a low voice, it didn’t really hide his desire fueled by Nacht’s beauty.

“Is there any possibility of they being bait?”

Hebrew asked.

“You asked me? Aren’t you good at detecting presence? If none else around them, then they are not a bait! No traps around either!”

Although Gladd true to his desire, he never skimped on his duty. Because it was where his life hanging.

So he said his opinion truthfully.

“None else around.”

“Then they are just prey. My detect danger skill also not reacting.”

Added Gladd.

Of course, that was because Nacht makes it that way, if his skill did function properly, the result would be different.

“Just in case they are a trap all along–I will attract their attention and you go to report, ok?”

Gladd nodded at Hebrew’s words.

And thus the two of them marched toward their death.

“Oi, you two–!”

Before Gladd’s even finished,

“Welcome, I have waiting for you.”

Just those words,

change the air dramatically.

The meaning of those words, of course, they should understand.

However, it still hard to change their mind after believing that they were the hunter, and this Gladd becomes angry and shouted.

“Hah, what could two brats do! No matter what kind of trick you have, I will still violate you!”

Different from the impulsive Gladd, Hebrew was calmer.

So it was a trap all along.

The girl in front of them could see through their stealth and even prepare to trap them. That would mean their chance of winning would be low. Because although her appearance was those of a little girl, she might be able to use very powerful magic.

It was unmistakably a miss on their part.

“Gladd, as we planned–go!”

Gladd clicks his tongue but followed obediently.

Gladd was not stupid. He was able to survive on the battlefield this long. He would still follow the best course of action.

“Whoops, don’t be such a killjoy–you have come all this way here, you shall entertain me for a while.”

“Wha-wha-what? Hau–”

The only one who didn’t know anything, Aisha was startled. It seemed she didn’t notice the bandits even after this close.

On other hand, Gladd already attempt to escape–

“What!?”

But it’s too late.

Because when he turned around, the forest already disappeared.

No matter how many times he blinked, what appeared there was only a precipitous cliff.

Not only that, when he looked around, the scenery becomes warped, and they were left in a round-shaped plain with no sky nor land in sight. Even if they wanted to run away, there’s no way to escape.

“Illusion (fantasy) magic, <>. But, what a surprise–or I should say ‘lucky me’?”

Negative status resistance was necessary to measure to keep own life.

A countermeasure for fatal negative statuses like illusion and curse usually sold cheaply in the free market. Of course, using their own magic resistance to reflect them was still the best, so leveling up is still the best solution.

Additionally, although Nacht learned illusion magic, it was not part of her main job skill. Unlike Gilwin, an incubus (male) player who focused on interference magic, who could land another bad status even when his skill was resisted, which could even bypass the defense of super rare equipment which could resist illusion and give a cursed status. It was a nightmare that some of her comrades can’t recover from.

At the end of the day, Nacht was an attack magic specialist and only learned those magic to fill up the empty slot she has left.

However, it seemed her magic worked just fine.

“Alright, it’s better for you guys to obey me. That way you won’t have to suffer.”

Nacht stood calmly and gaze condescendingly.

“No way…I have never seen or heard any magic like this…!”

“Is that so? …Have you ever heard about it, Aisha?”

Aisha shook her head. Well although this skill shows its might now, during the game era it was effective only toward a select number of enemies, that’s why except those who specialized in illusion magic almost none took them. On the other side, most high-level monsters will use them, so most players would have a countermeasure for them.

“I see–”

“Damn you! Monster! I will kill you!”

Now that his retreat was cut off he changed to attack.

However, that was already too late.

Nacht unintentionally let out a mocking laugh.

The illusion was one of the most must prevented bad status. Why? Because once afflicted, it would make unable to attack for a certain amount of time, and even if the illusion was broken, another bad status would be inflicted which was accuracy down. Additionally, in the worst case in the mini-map enemies would multiply, could not distinguish between friend and foe, unable to move, etc. A truly troublesome bad status. Without a proper measure, we would only trouble our teammates and the guilt would be immeasurable.

By chance, if caught to this bad status, the first thing to do were usually one of the two: using an item to retreat, or if not possible, use a defensive skill until the status wears off. The fact that no item could be used to break the illusion was another reason to prevent it before it could land.

That means–in that state, no matter what kind of attack, would never reach anything or anyone.

Compared to previous bandits, they were faster, but for Nacht, she could still handle them even when lying down and yawning. The bandit attack awkwardly hit empty air.

Their figure attacking an invisible enemy looks comical.

In the game era, it was only giving bad status unable to attack and dizziness for a certain amount of time, but in this world apparently, it truly traps the target inside a world of illusion. It has become a fiendish skill to behold.

“Alright, before you guys fall into a good dream–you would tell us a lot of things–”

“Damn it!”

The head of Fang of Black Wolf, Aizen was in bad mood.

Despite he had used his best pawn, none of them returned.

Having no information at all was bad news.

Since the free city was in the northward it’s not a problem even if the south was blocked, however, if there’s a subjugation unit, he could not take it easy.

He had used his best card to search for the enemy.

Since it didn’t bear any fruit, his only choices were to fight or retreat–

“Boss! Intruder! Two girls! They walked through the traps to this cave!”

“Calm down! Just do it like the training! Prepare defensive measure, just stall for time, that person will end everything–”

Aizen donned his equipment, put his two-handed sword to his shoulder, and headed toward the hired sword.

But he was not there.

“Haha, I see–he already heading to it–then there is no problem.”

But the truth was different.

Aizen just couldn’t detect him.

The time a confident smile appeared on his face, a dull pain runs in his head, and he lost consciousness.
