“The hero prospect is not there yet. Even if it is connected to the ancestors, it’s still incomplete. This is pointless.”

Says Zwei like it’s swatting a fly, which is enough to disperse Seilook’s dragon breath.

And as if something invisible hit it, Seilook is blown away.

“I let you go because I figured even if I crushed a hero prospect, Araysla would just prepare another one. But you are getting to be a bit of an annoyance.”

Zwei then snaps its fingers while looking at Seilook.

That makes Seilook, who was trying to go up, fall back down and hit the ground, seemingly staying stuck there.

Seilook! Is that the gravity control I saw before? I really have to face Zwei without holding anything back.

I take out as many scrolls as I can and desperately try to come up with a way to deal with Zwei.

But then, Zwei pulls its arm back from the hole, with something giant in hand.

“That’s Eve’s…! How…”

I can’t believe my eyes. Zwei has in its hand a thick bamboo tube that should be traveling through the rhizome.

Zwei then smacks the bamboo tube on the ground, and although it’s supposed to be very tough, the tube easily breaks in two vertically.

And Taula comes rolling out from the inside.

Zwei snaps its fingers again, and Taula is pressed to the ground just like Seilook. It also looks like she can’t speak.

“How, Struna Hartnicks? Simple. I connect space like this, and putting that link means I can reach very easily.”

Zwei says as it points to the hole in the air it made.

Is this power also the reason why Zwei suddenly appeared? This isn’t good. And it also said it made it so it knows where they are. The execution feels similar to curses, but the fact that said link can’t be detected is a big problem.

“Now now, Struna Hartnicks. Do you want me to release that dog of Araysla and the hero prospect?”

Zwei is negotiating for some reason.

“Are you sure you want to negotiate with me? I went against your second warning.”

“This is no negotiation, Struna Hartnicks. This is a threat.”

That face made of pale light distorts, as Zwei points at Taula.

“She is important, right? That dog of Araysla? You came to my bottle world just to save her, after all.”

I hesitate for a second to activate the scrolls I sneakily prepared.

And then, what remains of a bamboo wall breaks down, and a black shadow flies in.

It’s Kalin, covered in armor and holding her big meteoric iron sword.

Kalin! She used that strength of hers to break free from Eve’s bamboo!?

“Uooh!”

Kalin keeps going and screams as she cuts at Zwei.
