Chapter 45 (1/2)
Chapter 45 Escape (Part 3)
When you sues when the spirit is not summoned
The recharge is one minute every five minutes
Because of that, I would usually summon Sylph every five minutes and send her to scout for 1 minute
There was the discoain every five minutes and then return her repeatedly, but I was able to sustain the suht
But now, the situation is very different
I had no idea that the silver clan’s leader would suddenly draw near and unbeknownst to us, shoot arrows
We cannot go without Sylph for five ed the summon time from the five minutes to 25 seconds
I summon Sylph every 25 seconds and ask her
“Where is he?”
And then Sylph will draw a number for how many meters away he is
I return Sylph quickly before it reaches 5 seconds and call her again 25 seconds later and ask the same question
The silver leader sometimes is further than 100 meters, and when checked at other ti nearer and farther,us nervous
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds…
This situation where I have to constantly keep track of every second of ti me lose my mind
But I have go this far to spare the summons time if we are not to lose
‘At this rate, I’ll become exhausted first’
The position of having to track the 25 seconds while escaping is miserable
But the bigger problem is our stamina
‘He is probably thinking tactically, to just spend half a day chasing us’
Will we be able to run for half a day without rest?
It is possible
But the story becomes different with chasers on our tails
He repeatedly shortens and lengthens the distance between us,us extre arroards us He enjoys the tension between hi prey
We are mentally exhausted
I a even more With her weaker physique and the ets exhausted even faster
‘This won’t do’
I have to end this fight, no matter what
No ets shot in the head, he’ll die regardless
I make an order to Sylph
“Sylph, take the gun and go to his back and shoot”
-Meow!
Her strength gets weaker as she gets farther froh power to pull the trigger
Sylph takes the Mosin-Nagant and moves A moment later,
Tang-Kkang!
The gunshot and the sound ofat the same time
It’s a fail
He blocked the shot with his shi+eld
Tang-tang-tang-
The gunshots continue to ring but the only noises to follow are the sound of the blocked on the shi+eld A moment later, Sylph has shot her five bullets and returns
‘How does he know fro from?’
It is i in at supersonic speed It means he catches on before it is shot
Does he have a way of sensing where a spirit is?
I don’t know
I aht
Even after that, I attempt to snipe him a couple more times but they all failed All it did was use summon time
Time passes into daybreak
“Oppa…”
Hye-su calls toto me
“Oppa, you take this”
“What?”
At hs as she speaks
“Just in case, you know”
In case…
Hye-su is probably thinking that of the three of us, she will be the first to die
“Don’t think like that”
“Take it, quick”
“Hye-su…”
“My arm hurts”
Eventually, I take the ite from Hye-su
“I’ll give it back to you after the exam”
“Yep, when the exam is over”
I get the ite over fro disappears Itis now in my possession
Hye-su grows tired quickly
In the suffocating anxiety, we don’t rest and keep walking and to her, it is too difficult I feel like deatheven more
This heart suffocating pressure…
My sense of duty to not let Hye-su die too, makes me more impatient
I summon Sylph one more time
“Sylph, attack hiht”
-Meow!
Sylph takes the rifle and ht
Succeed this time!
But this time too, the shot is a failure
Tang-kang!
The sound of the bullet hitting the shi+eld rings hopelessly The five shots consecutively get blocked by his shi+eld
But then after all that
-Meeeow!
Sylph coives a sharp alarm
‘No way?!’
It’s the impossible
An arrow co in The bastard has come close and started a counterattack
Thankfully, the arrow is blocked by Sylphs knife wind She has understood the co arrows
The arrows keep flying in
And every time, the knife wind obliterated them
But the knife wind uses a lot of power The more it is used, the summons time shrinks!
“Sylph, hurry, reload!”
I shout as I hand her a 5 bullet clip
Sylph continues to take down the arroith her knife hile she loads the gun
But as she does it, like a lie, the arrow attack stops
Sylph draws a nuround with her tail 58, 75…the bastard is backing away
‘damn it’
No one is injured but we’ve taken on a lot of dae of arrows, all we have done is use up a shi+t ton of Sylph’s summons time
The silver clan’s leader is extre how smart he is
“He’s caught on to the fact we have to reload after every five bullets That’s why after blocking the five bullets, he brazenly counterattacks”
At roan
For a lycanthrope that has no experience with a gun, having found that out is an impressive feat
“No one is hurt?”
Atnods his head
