Shizu - Senses 2

“Wh-why, you! Fog Cloud!”

Fog billowed up.

It was even thicker than the fog Neia had seen in the Nation of Darkness; she couldn’t even tell where she was standing. She couldn’t see Shizu’s back ahead of her, yet she heard her Mana Gun going psht, psht.

When she thought about it, the situation was actually quite simple.

Even if he created fog in the middle of the corridor, he was still in the same place as a moment ago. She could just shoot at that area. Neia followed Shizu’s lead and loosed an arrow. She was a bit nervous, so she aimed higher up to make sure she didn’t hit Shizu.

The arrow disappeared into the fog immediately, and then she heard it strike the wall. Apparently, she had missed.

“He’s behind you now.”

The remark from Shizu made Neia think, What?!

Considering the width of the corridor, the huge va-um wouldn’t have been able to get around them without them noticing. But having traveled with her this long, Neia knew that Shizu was a trustworthy demon. Or perhaps it was less that she trusted Shizu and more that she trusted the King of Darkness commanding her.

Neia spun around, and sure enough, the fog was thick there, too, but she took a shot.

The arrow hit the wall just like the previous time.

“Where…where is he?!”

“……Mm. He’s in the direction you’re facing. He must be trying to escape. Get down!”
