Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Chapter 305.2: Prophecy ⑧



Chapter 305.2: Prophecy ⑧

The Curse Spirit People is much more human than when I first saw her. Heck, my sense of fear is fading away you know

When I first saw her, I was afraid of what she would do, but if she is only rampaging, then she is no different from a Monster. Her power is off the chart1 tho\'.

Luke, who snatched the sword from a nearby student, attacks the Spirit People. The Spirit People immediately turned her palm to the ground. Under Luke\'s feet, a wide area melts into *dorodoro* slush like a swamp, and Luke\'s lower body is *zubuzubu* sloppily buried and the ground hardens again.

You dare, to surprise meYou lower life form! (Cursed Spirit People)

I wonder if she was really scared. The Spirit People lifts her arm and swings it down. Jet-black spears rain down from the sky and pierce Luke\'s periphery as if she is trying to make a lattice.

Moreover, the holes are quite small in width. Even though he would have been able to get out of there if it was a little bit wider apart.

Ku Kukuh F-For a lower-life form! A jail! Suits you! You! Stay there! Forever! (Cursed Spirit People)

D Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! (Luke)

Hh!? (Cursed Spirit People)

Luke grabs the unidentified spear lattice without hesitation and tries to climb up the lattice, not caring that his hands are burning and that his lower body is still buried. The Spirit People hurriedly builds a ceiling from her spears with a drawn-out face.

Y-You bastardI will make you unable to wield a sword ever again! (Cursed Spirit People)

The Cursed Spirit People is heating up. This time Tino, who did not come down from Car-kun, reaches out to me.

Ma-Master~, let\'s get out of here while we still can! (Tino)

Somehow it was a better fight than I expected, but apparently even Luke can\'t defeat her. Heck, a curse is not something you can defeat with a sword, you know. The question didn\'t even need to be asked.

I take Tino\'s hand and Car-kun suddenly goes up. I left the tumultuous dojo while *burabura* dangling again.

With a lower speed than before, Car-kun goes through the sky of the Imperial Capital. Fortunately, it looks like we have a little time. There was no sign of that Spirit People chasing us. It is a strange story that Luke is able to slow her down more than Lucia or Anthem.

I had lost a little sense of danger after being pursued for so long, but there was no doubt that the situation is unpredictable. Looking down from the sky, I could see that the whole Imperial Capital is in turmoil. The dark clouds that the curses had wrapped the entire sky of the Imperial Capital. Seeing this, Franz-san\'s prophecy may not have been a metaphor or anything.

Tino, who had *fuufuu* calmed down her rough breathing, timidly asks me.

Master~, for the next destination Where, do we go? (Tino)

Where you say I have no idea, you know. Time is running out. The only remaining plan I can think of is to Bet everything on the Spirit People Shaman that Lapis and the others will bring while escaping all over the Imperial Capital or something like that. But there would be no time for that. Even if we were to escape with the flying carpet, there is the problem of recharging it. The amount of charge required for a flying carpet varies depending on its performance, but Car-kun\'s charge is quite high, so Tino would not be able to recharge it. Of course, me doing it was out of the question.

I take a deep breath as I frantically turned the gear in my head and say with a slight smile to calm Tino down.

And you Tino What do you think we should do? (Cry)

Eh!? Ehhhhm (Tino)

Anyway, we have to buy some time. Buy some time and wait for someone to help us. That\'sThe best course of action. There are many excellent Hunters and Magi in this city. Some of them may even be Shamans. Hopefully, Ark and the others will come up with a strategy while I am doing this. I would gladly get down on my knees and do a Dogeza or whatever if I can buy some time.

And then, Tino, who had been *muhmuh* groaning, opens her eyes as if something had just flashed in her mind. Her hair is stuck to her forehead and her ribbon is darkened due to the dirt. It is genuinely amazing that she still has energy left after going through so many terrible things. She has grown into a splendid person.

And then, with puppy eyes, Tino looks at me and fearfully say.

Uhm It might be, different from what Master~ is thinking I\'m sorry if I am presumptuous But, well How about, locking her inside Mimic-kun? (Tino)

(Cry)

I was so shocked that I could not move my face.

Tha That\'s it! Mimic-kun is a gem which has made dozens of people go missing. It is safe to say that there is no way to get out from the inside. Of course, it looks like I will never be able to open it again, but a trade-off like this is acceptable. Let\'s lock her up and have the church take care of it one more time!

Is Tino a genius? On the contrary, I  would like to be the one to call Tino, Master~! It is likely that there will be various issues, but it is much better than moving without a plan. I can see a ray of hope. From today onwards, I am a Tino-master~ man now (Meaning unknown).

Tino is sooo smart Ah, but it is locked, tho\' (Cry)

I am correct!? If it\'s just that I can open it! Let\'s go, to the Clan House! (Tino)

Tino says with a *kirakira* twinkle in her eye. *Yareyare* Good grief, it started at the Clan House and would end at the Clan HouseWouldn\'t it have been better to use Mimic-kun when the curse was released there in the very beginning?

Tino turns Car-kun around. Car-kun might already be close to its limit as its movements aren\'t as sharp as they used to be.

And when Tino tries to move Car-kun toward the Clan HouseA freezing wind suddenly blows from behind.

A thunderous-like voice descends from there.

I\'ll KIILL you I will kill you, Cry Andrich, I will remember that nameYou lowly human, how dare you (Cry)

Hih!? (Tino)

Tino screams. A thick darkness is stirring in the direction where the dojo is. An evil presence, incomparable to the dark clouds that covered the sky. She is totally pissed off.

In the middle of the darkness, there is a Spirit People. She is no longer riding a black bird. Instead, she is completely subject to darkness.

It is a scene that could best be described as a raging wave. Riding on the wave of darkness, the Cursed Spirit People came at us as if sliding toward us. She may not have been holding back before, but this time she is serious.

She is much faster than Car-kun. Tino hurriedly hits Car-kun and says.

Car-kun, increase your speed! (Tino)

Car-kun tries its best to move forward at Tino\'s command. It is strangely cute, but it doesn\'t speed up. Behind us, the demon king controlling the darkness chases after us. Tino desperately *banban* hits the carpet.

Why!? Car-kun, go faster! (Tino)

Isn\'t it out of magic? (Cry)

Hieeeh!? (Tino)

Assuming we make it to the Clan House, Tino, will you be able to unlock it properly in time

And so began the great turmoil predicted by the prophecy, the final dead heat2 to decide the future of the Imperial Capital.
