Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 418 Use of the Familiar

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in the suburbs.

Nozomi Arakawa got off the car on the road and asked Saber beside him:

"Excuse me, is the mouth of the river near here?"

"Well, it's about the same, but the exact location needs to climb a few hills ahead, because it's just a river coming down from the mountain, so there's no decent way to get there, let me lead the way."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Arakawa Wang nodded.

Saber was in front and he was behind. The two of them crossed the guardrail beside the road and walked directly up the mountain road.

"Is it okay for Ms. Saber to wear such shoes and clothes?"

"It's okay." Saber walked with ease.

As a heroic spirit, and a swordsman among the seven major job agencies, her standards are above the average. Her spirit foundation is not insignificant, and this kind of path is a piece of cake for her.

All the way silent, both of them moved towards their destination in silence.

She moved forward very fast, and did not take Arakawa Wang's speed into consideration.

After about ten minutes, she seemed to realize this herself.

Saber turned her head, wanting to confirm the location of Nomo Arakawa.

Although Arakawa Nozomi's swordsmanship is superb, walking this rough road non-stop is quite exhausting to the person's physical strength. Even people who exercise regularly can only stop and go, so as not to make the body feel uncomfortable. tired.

"What's wrong?" Nozomi Arakawa's voice sounded beside him.

Saber turned her head abruptly, the upright look in her eyes startled Arakawa Wang.

"No, nothing."

After studying Nozomi Arakawa's face for a few seconds, Saber moved on.

"what happened?"

Nozomi Arakawa became vigilant. The girl looked back just now, could it be that she found the trace of the enemy?

It's so strange, I can feel much more at ease if I tell myself clearly, at least someone will help me look behind me.

Are you worried about yourself?

Or... can't you trust yourself?
Either way doesn't matter to him.

But since there may be enemies, it is necessary to prevent sneak attacks. No matter who it is, as long as it prevents you from getting the holy relic, then deal with it.

However, there is no enemy in fact, it was just that Saber wanted to confirm his position just now.

A strange feeling surged in Saber's heart.

The young man next to him is very powerful.

Not only swordsmanship, but also physical fitness is very strong.

Well-proportioned breathing, steady steps, and that silent posture... even as a heroic spirit, she didn't notice the existence of Nobu Arakawa for a while, so she turned to the back to find his position.

Although he has no killing intent or fighting intent, he has been able to "hide" only by his own actions. If such a person becomes a heroic spirit, he is probably more suitable for the role of Assassin (assassination agency) than Jiansuke, right?

With strong strength and powerful "breath cover", if you become an enemy, it must be quite irritating.

Saber showed a smile that she didn't even notice.

It must be quite a joyful thing to compete with such an opponent.

And... a person with such swordsmanship must be quite enlightened, right?
Disdain to use intrigue.Only knightly duels are honorable and dignified.

... * ...

It doesn't matter whether Nomo Arakawa's heart is clear or not.

But it was true that the heart touched the throat.

After several minutes, he was still unaware of the enemy's presence.

"Damn it, are you following or waiting for an opportunity? Where is the enemy?"

No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any trace of the other party. It seemed that the other party was a master of stealth.

But since the opponent didn't make a move, he wouldn't startle the snake, but he was already deducing the method of confrontation in his mind.Where will the opponent attack from, and how to deal with it...

If the opponent is a magician, he might as well use the wedge ball to attract attention first, and then draw out the silver dancer to shoot five shots in a row... Anyway, this is Wei Ming Yixin's move, and it can be summed up as Wei Mingliu's swordsmanship, right?

Regardless of whether it is legal or not, the one who survives to the end is the winner!

About 20 minutes later, Saber and Nozomi Arakawa finally arrived at the mouth of the river.

What he was worried about never happened, and he fought wits and courage with the air along the way.

"Is this the place where the holy relic was robbed?" Arakawa Momo murmured.

It can be said that the surrounding area is very messy.

Broken trees, cracks in the ground, and pits... it's enough to show that a rather brutal battle broke out on the night the holy relic was taken.

"That's right, there is still a little magic power in the air." Saber said, "It seems that the caster left in a hurry that night, and he didn't even wipe off the things he left behind."

"Wait, are there still traces of magic left here?"

Arakawa was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't realize that there was still a breath of magic power here!

"Of course, since you can't detect it, it means that you are not very sensitive to magic power," Saber said, "The caster cleaned up his own magic power, but the time was short, and she didn't have time Clean it up completely."

Arakawa fell silent.

Since there are still traces of magic left here, that means... is there still a possibility of tracking it?

Thinking of this, he took out the familiar that Akira Nakazawa gave him.

This is specially used to track magic power, it has no other functions, it just strengthens the ability of "tracking".

As long as it is not destroyed and there is a supply of magic power, it can be traced along the traces of magic power, but at the same time there is a risk of being noticed by the owner of magic power.

So, once you use your familiar, you have to act quickly.

Just as he was about to inject magic power into the familiar, Saber asked a question.

"Arakawa-kun, who are you?" She expressed doubts.

"This is a familiar used to track magic power. I want to use it to find the robber's location."

"A good idea, but unfortunately, it's impossible." Saber shook her head.

"Could you please explain in detail?" Nozomi Arakawa was not angry, but wanted to hear what Saber had to say.

"First of all, the magic power left here is too thin. Secondly, it has been some time since the holy relic was taken away. The caster may be thousands of miles away. If you use the familiar, you will definitely alert the caster. The other party is a A powerful magician, once he completely puts away his magic power and turns into an ordinary person and hides in any city in the world, it will be difficult to find him."

Arakawa fell silent.

Saber's words are completely correct.

Using a familiar here is equivalent to telling the other party "I'm here to catch you".

If you don't find the other party in a relatively short period of time, you will definitely be slipped away.

The opponent this time is a senior magician, not a murderer or a monster who is still ignorant of magic power.
