(EP-68.2) Shadows Cast #4

068 – Shadows Looming Ark #4

I didn’t know how this kind of power was possible to monsters who had no muscles and only bones.

“Help me!”

“I’ll pull you!”

It was then that Mirna grabbed my hand.

In the end, it felt like my body was being stretched in half with Mirna pulling me from the inside and the skeletons pulling me from the outside.

“Hieeek…!!!! You’re tearing me aaah…!!!!”

If this continued, I would become either The/o or Theooooo. Regardless, it was certain that my body would stretch and rip.

… Was this what it felt like to be the rope in tug-of-war?

“What are you doing? Now, that’s funny!”

Looking at my misery, Elga burst out laughing before grabbing Mirna’s waist.

Then, after giving it a little pulling force, my body completely entered through the cramped door. Finally, I breathed a sigh of relief, stroking my stretched legs and waist.

“Thank you, you saved my life…”

Elga laughed at that.

“You got pulled hard! Did you get taller? Your legs must have gotten quite long after that~.”

I almost got ripped in half, how could you joke like that!?

… But, it did make some sense.

… I could take a look later.

Kiiiik. Bang.

The gate suddenly closed shut. Seeing this, Elga tried pushing and pulling on it to no avail.

“It’s not moving. Should I just break the daɱn thing?”

To that, Mirna shook her head.

“No. That wouldn’t be a very good idea, especially since the activity outside is getting stronger. Perhaps the buried soldiers of the old Gracia Castle Ruins are being resurrected as undead.”

“You mean that if we open this door, they will come rushing inside?”

“Something like that.”

As Mirna said, there were quite a few signs from the outside. From noises of the door being scratched to a series of unknown screams.

The thought that the weedy garden we just walked through would get flooded with skeletons gave me chills…

“It’s probably a trap – something to push us into the castle.”

“Alright then, let’s go find the professor. Gotta settle the score right?”

Elga raised the torch and boldly forged ahead again. I really felt lucky that Elga was here.

It was reassuring to think that we were on the same side.

In that sense, Mirna actually didn’t do much.

She was just like any other ordinary girl after she lost her father and Lich, Aleister Draco, to Professor Balan…

In this current situation, wouldn’t Narmi be more helpful?

However, Narmi must be sleeping deep within the consciousness somewhere in that body right now.

“Shh….”

Elga suddenly stopped.

Likewise, Mirna and I followed suit.

“Be quiet. I think there’s something in front of this hallway.”

She then pointed forward.

Just as I was wondering about our mysterious guest, it had already decided to come for us.

“Keueooo-.”

‘It’ were ‘humans’.

Their faces were very pale while their arms and legs were limp, just like those of a zombie. Actually, they were no different than zombies.

There were a couple of them advancing towards us in this cramped passage. Now that I could see clearer, they were wearing Ark’s uniform.

Was it the students who entered the castle before us?

“It’s not easy wielding an ax in this cramped hallway.”

Elga put down her ax and clasped her bare hands instead. Mirna, who was standing behind her, suddenly shouted.

“They’re still alive! It looks like they’re being manipulated by a spell, so you shouldn’t kill them if possible!”

“Not killing them is harder!”

Kkwaaak.

At this time, Elga had changed into a fighting stance.

I was convinced that it was now my turn to show off my skills. Pointing the Imp Tail Wand down the hallway, I mumbled a spell.

—Paimon.

Puchung-!

Then a bullet of compressed air shot out of the wand’s tip.

Pwock.

“Keuaaak!”

The student who got hit by it collapsed, looking quite shaken. Though, I wasn’t satisfied with just that and shot a few more.

Fusiung, fusiung-.

Pwock, pwock.

Bang, quadang.

As the three opponents collapsed and the situation cleared up, Elga raised her fists and let out a surprise, “Hoh-.”

“This magic is quite useful, huh? Theo, since when have you been able to perform such magic?”

Elga looked at the people lying on the floor. The magic seemed to have good power and accuracy.

“It lacks lethal power, but it’s just right for subduing rather than killing. It seems simple to cast too. How many more times do you think you can use it?”

At Elga’s question, I looked into my inner self and felt an estimate.

This magic consumed quite a bit of stamina.

Even though Marmar’s tail wand could control the amount and power of magic I dished out like a faucet, chanting and firing the magic were still quite tiring.

“If I use it without rest, I think I can do about ten shots.”

“It’s much more useful than expected. At this rate, you might be able to get a job in Borgia’s Golden Army! Did you learn it at Ark?”

Borgia’s Golden Army was the pride of the Lioness family.

Should I say that it was an elite unit that only hired the talented and equipped them with the best of the best?

Being able to get a job in such a place would mean that my skills were quite useful in practice. Of course, the rarity of Mages and other spellcasters had played a part too.

Moreover, it made sense.

Paimon was an advanced destructive spell of the Demon King Angmar.

It was more luxe and splendid compared to most Mages’ Fireballs and Wind Blades. My power was weak because of my low rank, still….

”When did you learn this kind of magic? How fascinating is it that you had the talent of a Mage? With this level of power, is it about the second rank?”

As Elga continued to take interest in my spell, I said.

“Well, it would be better to move forward first than explain it now.”

I hurried my steps with such an equivocation. I thought it wasn’t so good to stay in one place for a long time.

In fact, from the back of the path we had passed, I could hear the growl of an unknown creature…
