Chapter 52: Heading for FranAuthor's Note:
It’s a bit short, sorry .
Urushi, who is holding me in its mouth, runs vigorously . Will I be able to reunite with Fran just like this? No, wait, isn’t this bad?
「Wait! There’s a trap!」
Amanda shouts such words from behind . The worst possible outcome would be to have a Transition Trap activate right now .
『Urushi, because there’re traps here be careful!』
「Ohwn?」
『You’re unconcerned?』
That’s right, it has Aerial Jump Lv8, doesn’t it . So long as it doesn’t step on the trap, it won’t be activated . Furthermore, there seems to be magical power within Urushi’s eyes . I believe it’s Dark Magic, but… Hmm .
Perhaps it’s a magic that allows one to see the locations of traps? That would explain why Urushi occasionally makes unnatural movements, seemingly avoiding something . Well, regardless, it seems that it has a trap-sensory system in place .
No traps have been activated at all thus far . However, after running about 300 meters from the small room, Urushi suddenly stops in place .
『Urushi?』
「Hwoon?」
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt『Where is Fran?』
Urushi places me on the ground and sits down in place .
「*Hah-hah-hah-hah*」
『Not *hah-hah* –』
「OnOon!」
All of a sudden, Urushi starts scratching at the wall, digging with great vigor .
『Eh? Is she perhaps on the other side of that wall?』
「Ohn」
「Is Fran over there, by any chance?」
With a face of astonishment, Amanda approaches . Or rather, how the heck did she manage to keep up with Urushi?! — No, in terms of AGI Amanda should be higher, so perhaps that’s only natural?
「――Wind・Vortex!」
Using Storm Magic, Amanda shatters the wall .
『A hidden passage!』
「This Dungeon… It’s because of places like this that I hate it . Even detection spells from Wind Magic wouldn’t have worked . 」
This place must be an end location for Transition Traps, one meant solely for imprisoning people .
I’ve searched for presences within, but I can only feel signs of Spiders . Is she really there? I can only feel an indescribable sense of unease .
『Urushi, go!』
「Oon!」
Urushi uses Aerial Jump and runs nimbly over the ground .
『There!』
Amazing, Urushi! She really was here! I can see Fran!
However–
『S-She is… Fighting…?』
Fran was at the far end of the passage, alive and moving .
However, she was surrounded by small spiders . Spider larvae, most likely . Those spiders clustered around Fran one after another . Even if they’re weak alone, their number is clearly dangerous!
『Urushi, hurry!』
「Hwon!」
However, I notice something strange . In Fran’s hand is something akin to a dagger, a weapon that she shouldn’t have had . What is that? Fran should have been unarmed… Was luck on her side, allowing her to find it from a treasure chest?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo, that’s not the case . It seems to be the Hidden Claw Necklace that we took from Gyuran . If it’s imbued with magic power a dagger-like claw protrudes from the inside, but its efficiency isn’t good .
『Run away, Fran!』
It’s no use . She’s not within the range of Telepathy yet . But why is she not running away…? The reason why Fran refused to escape despite being surrounded by spiders was clear after taking a closer look .
Behind her were the figures of two fallen Humans . They were Clad’s party members who had transitioned together .
Fran was trying to protect them .
『Fran!』
Damn, these small fry spiders are irritating! Even if I try to use Magic, because these guys’ webs are in the way the spiders surrounding Fran wouldn’t be affected in the slightest .
『The level of your Sword Arts is low, Fran!』
Fighting in such a state is suicide!
I could only watch as spiders jumped on Fran . Not good! The current Fran can’t fight that number of — no . She can…?
Her movements are certainly slower, but the way she’s wielding the blade isn’t that bad . She cuts down a small spider and dodges the shot threads nimbly . Was Sword Arts Lv1 ever that strong? Ah, another one was cut down .
However, the cluster of small spiders remains on the offensive . Climbing along the wall, they’ve started aiming for the fainted Adventurers this time . Fran makes use of the Hidden Fang immediately, but it isn’t enough to stop the spiders . All at once, the Spiders pounce .
『Fran, don’t be reckless!』
Using her body as a shield, Fran puts her life on the line to protect the adventurers . With that, the fangs of the small spiders make their way into Fran’s flesh .
Blood…! Furthermore, a big one has…! A parent spider?!
With the parent spider’s momentum, she was thrown to the ground .
『UOOooooo! Mooveee!』
「OOoon!」
