The Strongest Prophet Who Had Trained 100 Heroes Is Admired By His Apprentices Around The World Even As An Adventurer Chapter 16

THE PROPHET'S FRIENDLY WAY OF DEALING WITH THE HIGHER SPIRIT

「Dominic, are you okay?」

I waved my cane lightly which teared off the wall of wind, and then asked Dominic who staggered behind us.

「　Ye…Yes…」

He answered with a nod. He doesn't seem to be seriously injured, and instead looked very glad.

「O-Otis-san… What did you do just now?」

Dominic asked me while looking at the s.h.i.+ning staff in my right hand.

「Un? Ah, just a little trick I know.」

Using the Prophet Magic『Lend me your words』I changed my equipment into a different kind of weapon that can break off the wall of wind. Once the target of the magic was chosen, and the words『Lend me your words』were chanted, the weapon will transform accordingly. It's just one of those simple magic a Prophet can do.

Well, I don't think I have to tell him about this since we're in this situation after all. There are things sometimes better not explained, because instead of understanding it, it might only confuse him. Not to mention that prophets doesn't exist now, I better just keep silence.

「Before that, we should end this disturbance first.」

As I said that, I swung my staff again

The higher spirit tilted her head and made a new wall of wind which she threw at us once again.

「Well, now it's coming towards us again.」

I continued to cut each walls one by one.

「Amazing, he's tearing those walls with just his staff. From the way he moves, he seems to be used to meelee battles.」

Behind Dominic, the one who responded to his words while fending off some winds was Rinne who's swinging her dual short swords.

「That's just natural, Dominic-san. Eisen-sensei excels in hand-to-hand combat. I can roughly do the same thing.」

「　ThThat makes sense. But for Rinne-chan to be able to fend off winds while talking⸺it's all unbeliavable.」

「Unbelievable?」

「The magic he used to cut that 　attack earlier is really amazing⸺too bad I can't do anything about it. This higher spirit's difficulty is at the level of a Rank-A adventurer!」

Dominic shouted loudly, however⸺

「No, we don't have to fight, Dominic.」

「Eh?」

「As you said earlier, I'll try conversing with the spirit.」

Yes, I have no intention of fighting it at all. As I said from the start, I just want to get closer so I can speak to it since it's hard to hear voices in this strong wind. That's why I have no choice but to approach it by tearing off the wall of wind.

「ThThat's… That would be in the case of lesser spirits since they're safer… Higher spirits are dangerous… ThThat's insane… you won't end up with just a slight injury…」

「I'll come up with something if that happens but for now, I'll try talking to it.」

A spirit doesn't go on a rampage without a reason so it's important to interact with it. While thinking about this, I sliced the wall of wind, leaving a meter of distance as I approach the higher spirit.

『　Yah, wait a second.』

The spirit blurted out. The higher spirit rubbed her eyes and opened it, moreover⸺

『You… Aren't you…』

She can speak. As I thought, I can understand her words.

(This higher spirit is sane.)

She obviously have pure intentions in her eyes.

『You… It can't be…　』

Then after a few words⸺

She went silent.

「I-I don't know if I have done something to anger you but if I have, then please take your anger to me and leave those two newcomers escape.」

Dominic said behind me. Although I'm gateful to what he said, I knew it wouldn't be necessary now because⸺

『Geez! Talking to humans is really vexing! I finally have someone I can talk with. 』

She's now starting to talk normally in the spirits language and then⸺

『By the way, aren't you the Prophet Eisen?! The one who defeated the Evil G.o.d and the Devil Sword King while protecting the Queen Spirit and taught the Emperor Spirit's children!』

「Eh? Ah, you're right but⸺」

「This is awesome! To think I'd meet you here! I'm a fan of you! !」

The spirit was more friendly and talkative than I expected.
