The 7th Witch

On Sunday, July 7th, 777, in the world of Himlear, a rural noble family welcomed their seventh child—a seemingly ordinary girl who, from birth, appeared to have an indissoluble bond with the numb...

Chapter 78: Chase in the Forest

"Boss, it seems like we're chasing you!"

Several thieves who were fleeing in the forest noticed the startled birds behind them and shouted in fear.

Tsk! This bunch of rubbish!

The big boss cursed his useless subordinates in his heart, and at the same time had to weigh the pros and cons.

These men definitely couldn't outrun the C-rank adventurers. Should he abandon them and flee alone? No... Even if he fled alone, his speed in the jungle would definitely not match that of the more experienced adventurers. He would be caught up sooner or later.

... ...I can only take a gamble!

The big boss stopped abruptly.

"Big boss, why don't you run away?"

The thieves looked at him in confusion.

"There's no point in running! You'll be caught sooner or later! Might as well give it a try!"

"Ah—? A fight? Just us?"

The thieves pointed at themselves, looking stunned, as if to say, "Boss, are you crazy?"

The big boss was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"You idiots, follow me! They haven't locked onto our exact location yet, so find a place to hide first!"

"Oh, oh, okay!"

The thieves followed their leader into the jungle in a daze.

... ...

"stop--!"

As Alec gestured with his hand, the pursuing adventurers stopped.

"Something's wrong. They've dispersed? No...they're hiding!"

"These guys are hiding! But they definitely haven't gone too far. Everyone, split up and search—!"

The adventurers quickly dispersed in the jungle, and Hulim was no exception.

She looked around. No matter which direction you looked at the jungle, the environment was similar, and it was easy to get lost.

However, this is not a difficult task for Hulim and the experienced adventurers.

The only problem is how to find the guy in hiding.

"Climb up the tree and take a look?"

As soon as this idea came to mind, Hulim rejected it.

The forest is so dense that even if you climb to the top of a tree, you can't see what's going on below.

"Wait, there seems to be a magic that can..."

Hulim suddenly remembered a magic trick that Semiris had taught her.

As one of the oldest beings in the world, Semiris possessed a large amount of magic from ancient and modern times. When she passed it on to Hulim, many of the magics were very rare at present, or even had been lost long ago.

For example, the Earth Palm, Ice Construction, and Shadow Stealth that she used less frequently are very rare magics in today's world.

The magic that has long been lost in the modern world includes breathing underwater, and—

“【????????????????????????????????????????????????】”

“—Hyacinth!”

A large amount of wind elements condensed into a dazzling ball of light in front of Hulim, and then a green glowing bird flew out from the ball of light.

The little bird circled around Hulim, its body very agile.

Although he had used it many times, every time he used this magic, Hulim felt an incredible feeling.

Because she can share the hyacinth's vision, she can see two vision images at the same time.

"Go—"

As Hulim gave the command, the weather hyacinth flew into the sky in an instant and passed through the cover of the woods. In another field of vision, Hulim could see that the picture suddenly became extremely wide, with endless trees in all directions.

Then the scene fell rapidly again, and after passing through a large number of leaves, a dark forest composed of tree trunks came into view, which was exactly the same as the scene in Hulim's main vision.

Hulim controlled the hyacinth and flew quickly through the woods, looking for traces of thieves.

In just a short time, they had already searched an area of ​​500 meters. If the adventurers who usually crawled around in various places and tested the dangers with their bodies knew about this, they would probably be envious to the point of being deformed...

"Hmm, this is..."

Hulim stopped the vision of the hyacinth and locked onto some suspicious traces.

"Yes, these are indeed traces left by humans. This means they are nearby."

Hulim controlled the hyacinth to search around with that place as the center, and at the same time he moved quickly in that direction.

Not long after.

“Found it—!”

Several thieves appeared in the Hyacinth's field of vision.

Hulim raised her wand.

"No... We're still some distance away. Sending a signal would mislead other adventurers. Let's get closer first."

Hulim lowered his wand and continued moving towards the thieves...

"Boss, they're searching for us everywhere. What should we do? We'll be found sooner or later, right?!"

The thieves were very panicked. They knew that even if they hid temporarily, it would only be a matter of time before they were found.

"What are you yelling about! Can't you see I'm trying to figure something out?!"

The big boss cursed angrily, but although he said he was thinking of a solution, he was very anxious and still couldn't think of any solution.

“That’s about it…”

Hulim checked the distance between him and the thief, seeing that he hadn't moved yet, so he raised his wand above his head.

call out--!

boom--!

As a fireball exploded in the sky above the forest.
