Chapter 16

AS Chapter 16~Trump Card~

「Everything is, so that I will survive . 」

When I said that, Commander Saran sighed .

In addition to that, it was a considerably deep sigh .

When I readied myself for his complaining, he suddenly lifted his head .

「I understand . I will also do my best, so that you will survive . …however, it’s still not enough to defeat that Minotaur even if I do my best . Please help me . 」

「Isn’t that obvious? There’s still a lot of things that I want you to tell me about . 」

「Alright . …I as well, want to hear more in detail about things such as smartphones and airplanes . 」

「I’ll tell you anything you want . After we survive this . 」

I left him with these words, and invoked stealth .

I could be seen by Commander Saran who had the evil eye, but not by the Minotaur .

Although I said that, the Minotaur was kept busy by the knights and didn’t have the time to look over here, but it was just to be on the safe side .

「If, we fail, it would be difficult for everyone here to get out of here safely . Be careful . 」

「I got it . 」

Making full use of the unsurpassed jumping power that belonged to the assassin occupation, I jumped over the Minotaur, and landed behind it .

The knights who had contained the Minotaur had guessed what I who hid my presence and Commander Saran who was gathering his MP were doing and escaped as fast as they could .

They had good judgment .

When I did this coordinated attack during the training with Commander Saran, I couldn’t control it, and almost obliterated an entire forest .

Although I was behind the Minotaur, I didn’t pay attention to what was in front of me and closed my eyes .

「Oh Lord, give me the power, the power to thoroughly hunt down the enemy that obstructs us…『Lightning』 . 」

The lightning bolts rained down on the Minotaur, his fur was burnt and he could not see .

『Guaaaaaaaa!!!!』

The attack went through to the Minotaur for the first time .

My classmates cheered .

「…tsk! Right now!!」

At Commander Saran’s words, I opened my eyes .

I held my hands in front of me .

「… . 『Shadow Magic』 . 」

The shadow, exploded .

Of course, it did not explode in the literal sense .

There were shadows everywhere, the dungeon that was lit up by 『Lightning』was dyed by the darkness in an instant .

If the light became stronger, the shadows would become darker in turn .

However, even though it should’ve been dark, I looked around curiously .

The Minotaur was also acting a little strange, and was going to attack Commander Saran who was right in front of him .

「Pull it in . 」

However, he suddenly stopped at my words .

He had stopped precisely at that time, but if you saw it from far away, it would’ve looked like I had restrained him .

『Guu!?… Guooooo!!!!?』

And then, just as I said, the Minotaur was pulled into the shadows .

All that’s left was its head .

「…」

The shadows that swallowed up the Minotaur, as it had finished its job, it shrank, until it reached the size of human, in other words, it went back to being my shadow .

There weren’t any cheers coming from my classmates, they just dumbfoundedly stared at the place that the enormous Minotaur had been .

Having succeeded, the knights and Commander Saran breathed out in relief .

「…haa, I want to go baack . 」

I muttered that, and went into stealth once again .

I don’t want to be bothered by my classmates .

In addition, I didn’t want to be looked at weirdly .

Sensing that, Commander Saran smiled wryly, and clapped twice .

The clear sound of clapping brought my stupefied classmates back to their senses .

「Even though the biggest danger has passed, we are still inside the dungeon . I don’t know if there are any other dangers . We’re going to stop here for today and go back now, so do not lose focus on the journey back . 」

The knights carried the Minotaur’s head, and the hero was carried on his friend’s back and we left the dungeon .

I was in the back, following them while thinking about what to do from now on .

I couldn’t hide my abilities anymore .

The question was how much of it would be reported to the king, and how much of my strength would be revealed .

…after they break the hero’s curse, it might be best to go into hiding for a bit .
