EP13. A gentle adventure (7)

“····What? Memory?”

Even in an urgent situation, Sean really asked if what he had heard was correct.

But Levi’s determined expression did not change.

Turning his head, he saw Roll getting up again and coming toward them. I don’t know how much Elsa could block it, but at least it was a situation that I couldn’t say I was at ease.

“Memories. What do you mean?”

“I don’t have time to go into detail. But this is the best way to beat the trolls now.”

“If Elsa and I join together…”

“You know that the more time you take, the more dangerous it is. You never know when Sean or Elsa-san might get hit by their abilities.”

“·······.”

Levy’s words were the right theory. Although he is currently not affected by the ability of the prophetic monster, apart from that, it is true that the odds of winning decrease as time passes.

The most dangerous thing is if there is not one troll. If there are other trolls or threatening monsters nearby, you never know when they will be caught up in the monster’s ability and attack them.

In the end, hesitant Sean cautiously asked Levy.

“…You asked for all the memories, didn’t you?”

“Yes. Right now, I don’t have time to pick and choose the memories I need.”

“How do you give it?”

“Shawn just needs to stay still. You just have to accept it without rejecting it in your heart.”

After hearing Levy’s explanation, Shaun sighed and said,

“Ha ha… I wonder what this is doing now, but I get it. If you say that, then you must have a plan.”

“・・・・Yes. Sean. Thank you for trusting me.”

“Isn’t this enough for granted? It’s a request from the person I love.”

Levy stopped preparing the spell when he heard Sean’s answer and stared blankly at him for a moment. Having come to her senses belatedly, she cleared her throat in embarrassment and prepared her magic again.

Why did her heart beat so fast even in this situation?

“Ανακαλέστε τις παλιές αναμνήσεις συνδέοντας τις καρδιές του άλλου και μοιράζοντας τα πάντα”

As soon as the chant ended, a green light began to bloom in Levi’s hands. She spoke to Sean, who had been watching her.

“Shaun. Now put your hand out.”

“Like this?”

As Shawn held out his palm cautiously, Levy slowly took his hand. Then, the green light moved to Sean as well, and they were connected as if connecting their hands.

“Okay. Now just close your eyes.”

“Okay.”

When I closed my eyes, the world turned black. However, for some reason, it seemed as if a small dot could be seen in a space that would only be filled with darkness.

From noble mtl dot com.

The small dot got closer and closer, and soon I realized that the dot was giving off a warm and cozy green light.

I’m sure he just closed his eyes, but it wasn’t until later that he noticed that he couldn’t hear anything. And that wasn’t all. It felt like being transported to another world.

In this place, which seemed to be a completely separate space from reality, Sean carefully opened his eyes.

There was Levy there.

She was clearly different from her usual appearance. To put it bluntly, it feels like being made of spirit, not flesh.

More precisely, it may be composed of magical power.

[Sean.]

“Levy? . . . Is that you?”

[Now I’m going to read Sean’s memories. You don’t have to worry too much or be surprised. It won’t hurt at all.]

“Yes. However····.”

Why? For some reason, Sean felt a sense of incongruity with the woman in front of him.

Maybe it’s because this is a place similar to the inner world separate from reality?

Of course, even if he worried, he, who was unfamiliar with magic, couldn’t figure out the perfect answer.

Levy came to herself and she slowly placed her hand on her forehead. It was a warm, affectionate touch, like a mother measuring the temperature of her beloved child.

I could certainly understand why Levy had warned me so many times.

She had a strong feeling as if someone had entered her innermost secret.

She wasn’t obnoxious or inconsiderate, though. She’s just a little embarrassed and shy.

Sean felt Levy’s touch and accepted her everything. Then Levy looked at Sean and said.

[Sean. Thank you.]

“What are you thankful for?”

[And I like it.]

“····Suddenly they hit and come in.”

[I’ll wait until we meet again.]

“Huh? Time to meet again…”

Sean, realizing the strangeness of her Levi’s words, opened her eyes and tried to ask her. But Sean’s words didn’t even come to an end and scattered into the air.

Because the warm and bright green light disappeared at some point, leaving only darkness in the world.

“····Levy?”

Sean called out to her, turning her head around her. But her Levi’s figure was nowhere to be found. She panicked because she couldn’t even figure out what the hell was going on, when her familiar voice resounded throughout the room.

[Sean. It’s okay to open your eyes now.]

“It’s okay to open your eyes, I have already opened my eyes…”

Shaun subconsciously responded to Levy’s cry, and then she realized that she had closed her eyes. When he opened his closed eyes belatedly, he was able to return to the world just before the magic was cast.

He had kept his eyes closed all this time.

Then, what the hell was it just now? After all, it feels like the inner world realized through Levi’s magic.

But there was something strange about Levy’s expression.

Levy looked at himself with very complicated eyes, and it seemed like he was hiding something.

“Did you get all your memories?”

“Yes.”

“Then what are you going to do now?”

Whatever it was, killing the trolls was the priority. Perhaps Levy had forgotten that fact too, she immediately regained her senses and said.

“I have to use the mind protection magic again. . . . I seem to be under some influence. Then we won’t be able to talk again.”

“Okay. What should I do?”

“As long as you help Elsa, that’s enough. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Yes.”

After the battle, Sean decided to ask Levi everything and got up first. Sean hurried over to Elsa and asked her a question.

“Was it difficult?”

“What are you talking about? It’s hard to sleep, and in the first place, he hasn’t even come close yet.”

“…”

“By the way, is the conversation over? It seems that it was nothing more than I thought. Seeing how quickly you came.”

Sean, who was momentarily taken aback, understood the situation.

The fact that the time I just passed on to Levi and the time I spent in the inner world didn’t affect the outside world. In other words, no time has passed in reality.

As if to prove that fact, the troll was finally able to properly brace itself after being blown away by Levy’s attack.

“Then what do we do now?”

“…First of all, we’ll just have to hold out until Levy is ready.”

“That’s not difficult. There are two of us, so taking turns getting his attention will be enough to buy us time.”

“Yes. Then let’s do it.”

As Sean answered right away, without the slightest hesitation, Elsa looked at him for a moment and then threw it out.

“I don’t know why, but I can’t afford it.”

“Is that so?”

“Don’t be impatient. Even if you heard about the death of a family member, you shouldn’t show off in battle. Then the enemy will realize your weakness and try to bite you.”

“Yes. Yes. Thanks for the advice.”

It was as she said. Shaun immediately put aside all the complex thoughts running through his head and decided to focus fully on the current battle.

“Coming.”

The troll charged with such ferocity that Shawn felt a little bit afraid. The guy couldn’t quite get his eyes wide open, and his pupils constricted, revealing his excitement.

Elsa straightened her stance with her shield up and took her immobilized stance as if she were glued to her seat. Shawn saw her and called out urgently to her.

“You’re not trying to get me!?”

“Isn’t this a very good opportunity? The experience of blocking the rush of a glowing troll.”

“Are you crazy?!”

It looks like Elsa was hit by Kor Kurasm’s ability again. If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way I’d be sane and think such crazy thoughts.

Sean looked back and forth between the troll and Elsa, racking his brains to decide what to do. Receiving that attack with a normal human body seemed impossible no matter how you look at it.

But there was no point in dragging her around and hiding her on her plains, where she was unobstructed. In the end, Sean’s choice was to stop the troll’s charge, or at least slow it down.

Shawn moved slightly to the right of the troll’s charge path and then grabbed his sword. Shawn moved as far as he could from the troll’s field of vision, then charged at the troll.

“Kurrure!”

As expected, the troll, whose vision was narrowed due to excitement, paid no attention to Shawn’s movements and charged only at the enemy in front of him.

Sean, who arrived nearby without any hindrance, took advantage of the enemy’s rapid speed and cut off the troll’s leg. After all, it wasn’t a fatal blow that cut off a leg right away, but the troll who was obviously affected by the attack lost its posture and greatly reduced its speed.

The troll raised his fist and attacked Elsa even as his body collapsed. The entire forest shook again with an attack so powerful that it was unbelievable that he had lost his posture.

Sean swallowed his saliva and focused his attention on the scene. The attack just now wasn’t strong enough to kill a person, no matter who saw it. But wouldn’t it be different if it was her platinum adventurer…?

The scene where the dust clouds lifted was enough to make Sean admire.

“Your hands are quite tingly. Certainly, a proper attack would have been dangerous.”

Elsa, who spoke so leisurely, stood upright, not even suffering a mortal wound. Even though the troll was blocked by Sean’s attack and Elsa’s shield, he fell completely.

Of course, you can’t say that you won the victory by knocking over the troll.

He started to get up again with even more anger.

But it was as if the two had already completed their mission. After all, Levi was back in the fight.

Shaun looked at the shadow behind Levi. The black figure was likewise holding a sword made of shadows.

“Is that me…?”

Thanks to Levy’s explanation earlier, Shawn also had a general understanding of shadow magic. He

He clearly explained that the more you know more about the object you are copying, the stronger the shadow power.

So Sean thought he was just a copy of himself at first. Because when he gets all his memories, of course he gets to know Shawn better.

But then I remembered another explanation Levy had given.

The feature of the shadow is that it cannot become stronger than the body it is copied from.

What was the reason Levy bothered to copy Edward in the first place? Given that he knows him well, it is only natural that he knows himself much better than he has always been with.

In other words, even if Levi receives all of Sean’s memories and knows them perfectly, the shadow cannot become stronger than Sean regardless of that.

Unsurprisingly, Sean didn’t have the confidence to catch the troll by himself.

Then why did Levy bother to copy Sean while receiving his memories?

The answer was simple.

The object she copied wasn’t Sean.

At first, he mistook Sean for copying him in a swordsmanship similar to his own.

But after a while, he immediately realized. The fact that that shadow did not imitate himself.

It is only natural that their postures are similar.

Because the person who taught Shaun is the true body of that shadow.

“It’s been a while. It’s a shadow, but… I hope you are well.”

Sean was completely relieved. The battle was already like victory.

Wilhelm

Even if it’s only a shadow that’s embarrassing to compare with the main body.

If that target was Wilhelm, it would be safe to say that the outcome of the battle had already been decided.

Sean has met many strong people throughout his life. Among them, there were definitely those who were clearly stronger than themselves.

But if you ask him who is the strongest he has ever seen, Shawn will answer without hesitation.

A decrepit retired knight.

No one can beat Wilhelm.

As Sean expected, it fit perfectly.

Wilhelm’s shadow cut the troll in two with a single blow.

It was a rather boring and futile end.
