Chapter 119.1: Encounter With The SNAKE

Chapter 119.1: Encounter With The SNAKE

◆Foreign Magic Princess, Chiyuki

We boarded the small flying ship, departed from Gyptis, and headed toward Arnak. The flying ship was something we borrowed from Maat, the Pharaoh.

Even though I said it was a small flying ship, it was because the target of comparison was the oversized flying ships belonging to Rena and Ishtar, which could literally cover a whole continent. In fact, this flying ship was big enough for us, Ishtar, and her attendants.

But maybe due to its small size, it couldn’t float too high in the air, just a little over one meter from the ground.

The ship kept flying forward toward its destination. Time passed so quickly and the night had come, but the desert wasn’t dark thanks to the starlight. Since the small flying ship had no roof, there was nothing to interrupt us from seeing the surrounding scenery.

「It seems there’s nothing to see right, Reiji-kun.」

「Yeah Chiyuki. As if there’s nothing at all.」

Reiji agreed with me.

According to Maat, the road to Arnak was riddled with danger, but as far as I could see, I couldn’t see anyone in the desert.

It seems Maat’s worry was only needless anxiety.

「I wonder about that... I have a bad feeling about this...」

Suddenly, someone spoke from behind us. When I turned around, I found that the one who spoke was the young God with a monkey face, Pistis.

Since when did he stand behind us?

In the first place, he shouldn’t have boarded the ship back then.

「What do you mean, Pistis? Please do explain.」

「U~hm. I can only say it’s noisy, Ishtar-sama. And my instincts tell me that something dangerous is fast approaching.」

Pistis explained so to Ishtar. The monkey tail growing from Pistis’s bottom hung down listlessly. Maybe, something was coming toward us. But, my detection magic didn’t catch anything.

What did he mean?

「Something’s approaching us, is it? Be confident in your crisis detection ability, which caused a huge headache even for Al. Everyone, pay attention to your surrounding!!」

The Al she was talking about must be the God of Song and Arts, Alphos who is also the big brother of the Goddess of Wisdom and Victory, Rena.

According to the myth, the monkey God Pistis was captured by Alphos. Pistis, who got cornered at that time, then pleaded to Ishtar who happened to be there by Alphos’ side. After hearing Pistis’ plea, Ishtar asked Alphos to release Pistis. Alphos, who couldn’t refuse the request of the one who raised him, then released Pistis. Since then, Pistis became the subordinate God of Ishtar.

Back to the present, the catfolk attendants drew their swords the moment Ishtar said so. Every single one of them was Ishtar’s priest, they wielded a shamshir-like weapon. In this regard, they were no different from humans, needing a weapon.

「EVERYONE BE CAREFUL!! SOMETHING IS COMING!!」

The sand in front of the ship exploded upward right after Reiji finished his warning. Something was coming toward us from the pillar of sand. The one who came was a man, wielding a long spear.

「Ishtar!! Come with me!!」

The man hoisted his spear, pointing toward Ishtar. Ishtar on the other hand just sat quietly.

「In your dreams!!」Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Reiji drew his sword as his body shot toward the man.

The Serpent Queen was the enemy of Elios. Since we were summoned by Elios’ Goddess, Rena, that made her our enemy too.

The problem was, what was he doing here? This was the Gypseal region, not the Serpent Queen’s territory.

「How surprising. To think that the Serpent Prince himself infiltrated so far in this region.」

Pistis looked shocked and scared at the same time.

It seems not even he predicted this kind of situation.

「I’m the Hero of Light, Reiji. Even though you introduced your name, I’ve already forgotten about it.」

Dahark let out a grin when Reiji introduced himself.

「So you’re that Hero of Light huh? I’ve heard about you. About how a weak ass like you got beaten senseless by the Dark Knight, but you’ve come to this place eh.」

「... Thanks for reminding me about that.」

Reiji actually faltered, maybe his defeat against the Dark Knight was a sore spot for him.

「HERE I COME, HERO OF LIGHT!!」

Both men’s weapons clashed right at the next moment.

I could barely follow the clashes of their sword and spear which had gone beyond the realm of humans with my eyes. And yet, they seemed to be having fun fighting against each other.

「I’ll assist Reiji-kun.」

I raised my cane and pointed it at where those two fought.

「You better stop now, Sis. He isn’t so stupid to the point of coming by himself without prior planning. I have a bad feeling about this. Let’s wait while taking Ishtar-sama to a safe place.」

Pistis stopped me from assisting Reiji.

「Lie?」

My magic didn’t work like usual. Come to think of it, I also failed to detect Dahark’s presence a while ago. It seems even Reiji couldn’t detect his presence until he was very close to us. Did that mean that they had some sort of means to obstruct our senses?

A chill ran down my spine.

Obstructing magic means they obstructed my sensing abilities too. My current sensing abilities might be even weaker than the catfolk attendants.

「THERE!!」

Pistis threw the empty cup on the deck of the flying ship.
