Chapter 307 Goal?
Part 1
My body is thrown into the air. With no walls, no floor, and no ceiling, my body was softly released from gravity and I landed softly on the ground.
It was a vast space where true darkness lies. I at least understood what happened. My foot got caught and I tripped. And then I fell into the treasure chest. I completely didn’t pay any attention.
So this is??Inside Mimic-kun?
As I strain my eyes and look up at the sky, I activate my Ring Relic???Owl’s eye? that grants me a night vision ability that I usually keep equipped on me due to the fact that this kind of situation happens often.
My vision brightened, but I couldn’t find anything that looked like an exit. Tino and Liz said they could have escaped if they hadn’t been distracted, but apparently, it is impossible for me.
I was not injured. I feel like I fell from a very high place, but maybe this is also one of Mimic-kun’s functions. It is safe to store fragile items. As expected of Mimic-kun, he is excellent. Compared to him, I am……
I consumed one of my Barrier Rings when I rolled across the Lounge, so I don’t have any Barrier Rings anymore. I am cornered now.
Next time I meet that Cursed Spirit People…… I have no choice but to get down on my knees, do a dogeza and ask for forgiveness.
Too many things happened today, so I was already *furafura* dizzy. I take a deep breath and check my surroundings again. And then my breath was taken away.
Spread out in the darkness was??An old town.
There were cluttered houses and well-maintained roads. And several pillars like streetlights were erected.
That damn Mimic-kun, what on earth did you eat to have a town like this in your stomach…… There should be a limit to eating bad food.
Did the people who were missing from that church live in this town? But the town is………… Way too big for just them. The people I rescued said they didn’t build the city, so maybe there were other people living here.
By the way, how do you get out of here? If someone wants to take you out, will an exit appear in front of you? I should have checked with them when I saved them……
And just when I was thinking that much??Suddenly there was a crack in the sky and something like mud came pouring in with great force.
When the mud hardens in one place, it creates the appearance of a Spirit People.
“I will not let you get away…… I’ll kill you…… Cry Andrich. Did you think I would just forget my grudge against……” (Cursed Spirit People)
“!?” (Cry)
A terrifying voice echoes in the quiet old town where there is no sign of life. It is too late to regret the fact that I should have worn my ?Comfortable Vacation?.
No way, to think she would follow me even inside Mimic-kun……What the hell did I do to her? You shouldn’t hold any grudge against me anymore! The cursed ring??The ?Hermit Ring (Celestial Tree Curse)? has already run out of Magic……
The Spirit People looks around in the air and annoyingly says.
“I will, absolutely, not let you get away after making so much fun of me??Don’t think, you can get away, human……” (Cursed Spirit People)
Apparently, she intends to swallow the entire city with her black water. In order to do that, the amount of water she needs is insane, but I don’t even feel like pointing that out now.
I hurriedly locked the door, but it seems that this building is not flood-proofed, so the black water enters through the gap in the door.
There are no signs of the houses being destroyed, so it is doubtful if the water itself has any physical offensive power, but it is obvious that if I touch it, it will be bad for me.
I hurriedly evacuate to the second floor and look out the window. It was a terrible sight outside.
Mud was pouring from the black river and ran along the road. It seems that her strategy, for now, is to round up all the creatures outside. If I had not been indoors, I might be able to avoid the water below my feet, but not the pouring rain.
And at that moment, I spotted Tino in the murky water flowing down the road.
She was being swept away by the water while *batabata* flapping around, but by chance, she caught on a pillar and began to climb up with a desperate look on her face.
It doesn’t seem like a very good situation, but apparently touching the mud doesn’t mean instant death. Tino…… I’m glad you are safe………… But the possibility of being pulled up from the outside has now decreased a bit.
“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill??” (Cursed Spirit People)
The resentful voice of the Spirit People resounds through the city like a broken toy. The water level was rising, most likely because the volume of water was increasing little by little.
A little while ago, the water was only *chorochoro* trickling, but now the water is rising up to the first step of the stairs. I should have evacuated to a higher building if I knew.
The pouring rain shows no sign of stopping. I can’t even go outside.
I was at my limit physically and mentally. I want to collapse and fall asleep right now.
I don’t have any Barrier Rings anymore, and after coming this far, I have no choice but to pray. All I can do is hope for a miracle where Liz, Anthem, or Lucia will pull me out??But, I guess it is unlikely.
I am not that optimistic either, but I still think that it is in the realm of possibility.
Looking back, many things have happened since I became a Hunter. When I first became a Hunter, I felt like I wasn’t going to live through the hellish series of irregularities, and after I became a Clan Master, I had a lot of bad experiences, but now I can think of them as good memories.
For the regrets…… I don’t really have any. If you think about it, I have been causing a lot of trouble for the others all the time, but I successfully contained a curse that even Anthem and the others couldn’t handle, so at the very end, I was able to make a big achievement worthy of a Level 8.
The only regret I might have is…… About Tino, maybe? But well, it seems that Spirit People is only after me, and I know that Tino has grown up to be very strong in general. I am sure she will survive somehow. There is nothing your Master~ can do now……
At least what I can do is sneak out to the window and wave at Tino who climbed up on a pillar. When Tino, who was *dorodoro* muddy and soaked in the rain, found me, she looked like she was about to cry.
Please don’t make a face like that…… I am sure that Spirit People will go somewhere if she kills me. At least she wouldn’t aim for Tino alone. Even while she was chasing us, she was only aiming at me.
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
What Cry thinks when waving to Tino:
Don’t worry you will survive, but this is the end for me.
What Tino thinks when seeing Cry waving:
Good luck surviving and beating the curse, I am watching you.
Tchao à plus!
