Arcana Mob

Knock, knock.

"Here are the requested files, sir."

"Come in."

Inside a strange room that looked like it was disconnected from this world, a strange man entered the office.

As if he had been waiting a while, the man that sat at the table didn't even bother to look at the man that had just entered, as he still continued working on the thick stack of documents in front of him.

" Sir, regarding Irvin the Red Blood, we have been able to make sure that he was able to infiltrate Orion University. However, the university was currently on a break, and therefore we were not able to do anything at this time. Based on our estimation, the operation would only be able to start after the break ended."

" Hmm.. Good job. Then continue on what you have been doing so far."

The man that looked like the leader said. His face was disinterested as he continued working on the document.

But the underling didn't leave yet, and for some reason, it annoyed the leader a bit.

"Umm… Sir.."

" What is it?"

The leader said, one of his eyes raised.

The underling looked troubled a bit and wasn't sure whether he should really say this thing out loud.

However, considering that the leader's patience seemed to be worsening with every second ticked by, he wasn't left with many choices.

" Sir, actually.. One of our executives had reported that he had found the user of the Fool Sacred Arcana-"

The underling wasn't even able to finish his words when it happened..

*Cracked*

All of a sudden, the aura surrounding the room felt suffocating, and while the underling tried his best to stay calm, the walls and the table began to grow cracks on them.

" Are you sure about this?"

" I- I don't know sir. But ut was what Executive A reported to us."

The atmosphere was eerily suffocating, with only silence enveloping the whole room.

Fortunately, before the underlings fainted from the oppressive aura, the leader finally called back his pressure.

" Hmm.. it is weird. The prophecy said that the Sacred Arcana War shouldn't have started so early… *Sigh* Maybe I start getting old." The leader's voice sounds a bit grim. Then he finally turned his face to see the trembling underling in front of him.

" By the way, good job for reporting those things to me. For now, everything is still under control, and just continue what we have been doing so far."

. . . . . . .

" Are we there yet?"

Back to Cade, the place that Cade brought Ms. Elizabeth was a pretty far place which took them almost four hours by train and then followed by two more hours of walking in a desolate place with no other passerby.

If not for the fact that she was far stronger than him, Elizabeth would definitely think that Cade had a bad intention for her.

" Don't worry, we'll be there soon."

After taking a deep breath, Cade glanced behind me. An inch away from his feet was a razor-sharp cliff.

The secret place they were looking for was located in the middle of a cliff, buried in moss and vines.

"Humph."

It was clear that Elizabeth began to grow impatient, yet Cade could not do anything to pacify her.

A few minutes later, they eventually arrived at their destined place. Cade looked into the dark cave without going in. Using Spectre Dullahan to survey the place, they quickly discovered a monster. It was a ghost.

Just like in the original story, this was an unconquered hidden undead dungeon. But what Cade was looking for was the thing that would be the reward for the completion of this dungeon.

"Follow me."

Cade took the lead, and Miss Elizabeth silently followed.

"…So this is why it hasn't been discovered until now."

Even if you knew it was there, it would have been hard to find it. Not only was it covered in all sorts of vegetation, but the entrance was also narrow.

At first glance, the entrance only looked like a tiny gap.

"Once we go in, there won't be giving up in the wat. Are you prepared?"

"Humph, do you think I Elizabeth is a joke? Let's go. This should be the place that you said could help my Arcane Card rank up, right?"

Elizabeth was pretty fired up.

Cade didn't say anything, and since Elizabeth had agreed, he just began leading the way.

Not far from the entrance, where Spectre Dullahan found that ghost monster, Cade and Miss Elizabeth quickly find their first match up here.

"Beware, the monster here is pretty strong."

Cade even prepared a light grenade just in case.

Even if the focus in this world was Arcane Card, there were always some people who had a passion for other things, and that's how combat items were born in this world.

Though one might argue that they were useless in the face of a strong enemy, preparing one or two wouldn't hurt at all.

Cade quickly sends Spectre Dullahan to engage the enemy in combat.

Even the weakest mob here should be an intermediate Rank (V) Monster, and the difference between ranks was immense.

Cade going all out with Specter Dullahan would likely only distract it for a moment.

However, a moment of distraction was enough. Because Miss Elizabeth would take care of the rest.

" Humph, just a trash, and you dare block my way? Burn into ashes!!"

Ms. Elizabeth's phoenix was strong.

One Fireball was enough to incinerate the enemy that Cade had a lot of trouble with in one move. And here Cade was once again reminded of how he was still far from being safe in this world.

If someone like Elizabeth were his enemy, he wouldn't even survive a few seconds.

" What is it?"

Seeing Cade was dazed while looking at her, Elizabeth asked.

" Nothing. I just think that you are actually amazing.."

*Blush*

" You.. stop sayning nonsene things! Or else, I would leave you here!"

"???"

To be honest, Cade was just saying things voluntarily. But Elizabeth's reaction was way much more than he expected, and only then he remember Elizabeth's trait from the databook.

Elizabeth:

Weakness: Praise, especially earnest praise.

A supremely arrogant person but at the same time, she was weak to someone she acknowledged.
