Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 310: The three baba yagas

We left the red flower girl's house and decided to head to where I first met Baba Yaga to meet her. The most likely person to know what was going on was Baba Yaga. I get a ride from Hix and the other three get a ride from Stra and we move on.

Then we spotted Baba Yaga right away.

"Oh? It's that little boy from earlier. Come to get beaten up again?"

"No, I came to ask about Prince Finist"

Then Baba Yaga laughs.

"I don't know any prince like that!"

Baba Yaga then sent a fire arrow flying. Hix and Stra ducked.

"Hey! Lets not. Takuto! She's attacking us!"

"...I see. Then let's fight back..."

I take out my Scarlet Ring. Baba Yaga is surprised to see it.

"...You have something quite unusual. Boy"

"I'm still a novice, so I'll have to use it"

"Huehuehue. It's interesting, isn't it? This is going to be a fancy magic battle!"

Me and Baba Yaga will be shooting magic at each other. At first the magic is weak and then it gradually becomes stronger. Since it was a special opportunity, we decided to use mainly wind magic.

Then, Baba Yaga moves into the forest.

We chase after her. After a while, we came to an open area in the forest. Then a building like a warehouse on stilts appears in front of us. We recognize it.

Baba House?

? ? ?

This is the house of Baba Yaga in the Baba Yaga folklore. The problem is that it's the part where they treat you like a monster.

But once you get this far, there's no backing down. I get off Hix. Then, Arleigh asks me.

"Hey...Takuto. You're not going to go in there, are you?"

"What choice do we have if we come all this way and don't go in?"

"That's true, but...this is turning into a monster, you know?"

"And I don't have a good image of the Baba Yaga house..."

Well, that opinion is very true. But I'm sure I'll be fine. Because the magic battle earlier, though spectacular, did not really cause any damage to our side.

It was as if she was showing someone that she was serious about fighting us. I can think of no other reason for the demon to play such a trick on Baba Yaga.

"If you won't go, I'll go alone"

"All right! You got it!"

"You..."

"I, I'm coming with you!"

Chiffon's words caused everyone to enter the Baba House. Arleigh resisted, but when I told him it was a chance to get a large number of points, he easily changed his hand.

"Sorry to interrupt"

"Huehuehue. I'm glad you came without fear...well, don't sit down"

We sit down in our chairs.

"May I ask you about Prince Finist?"

"Of course...Prince Finist is in the hands of a demon under the control of Demon King Bael. He is now sleeping in a prison in a cave that no human can reach"

Well, that's what's coming.

"I wonder if they went to all that trouble just to play with us?"

"That's a bonus. First of all, demons love human bad emotions. You know, the ones who are caught up in the bad feelings over Prince Finist's disappearance"

She means the girl with the red flower.

"And a hostage to us. Thanks to that, we've been watched by the demon and have no choice but to deal with humans"

So Baba Yaga is set up to be related to Prince Finist or something.

"Emm~I'm sorry, but isn't this a bad place to talk about it?"

Chiffon asks me that, but I think we're talking because it's okay.

"This house was made by me. Even the demon can't see into this house. It is natural for a lady to protect her privacy"

Well, I guess surveillance is out the door all the time.

"Sure, but are you sure the demons won't find out?"

"This house was originally a magic house that sucked the vitality and magic power out of humans as soon as they entered it. We use it to kill humans. The demons will think you are dead when you enter"

Kowaa. But if that's the case, we'll have to make a play.

"Huehuehue. You have a real magic sword, don't you? Now that you've heard all this, you'll cooperate with us, right?"

"Yes. How can I help you?"

"First, let me give you this"

Baba Yaga handed me a key. Let me appraise it.

Unlocking Wood Key: Important Item

A magic key that changes with the keyhole. You can unlock without the unlocking skill.

"What? This key? I want it so bad.

"With that key, you should be able to unlock Prince Finist's prison"

"What? Well, then, that's easy"

Arleigh...did this guy even listen to her earlier?

"You...you don't know how to get there"

"Ah...ri, right!"

"Huehue. You're right, girl. That's why you need to meet the other two Baba Yagas. Of course, you'll have to act like you did before"

That's where I come in.

"Emm, what's the item that will tell us where Prince Finist is and what's the other thing?"

"I'm sure they'll give you some clothes with an air-blocking effect so the demons won't find out about you"

Is that an invisibility cloak! I want this one too~.

"Then return to the village with return. You don't want me to chase you, do you?"

I'm sorry about that. We return to the inn with return and the info comes.

The level of wind magic has reached 30. You have acquired wind magic Dust Devil and Fly

The level of wind magic has reached 30. Swift Magic has been acquired

Umm. Just as I calculated. Well, it's been a while since I've spent 6pt to learn a new magic.

You have acquired swift magic and wind magic has evolved. The acquired wind magic is inherited

You have acquired the swift magic Sonic Boom and Supercell

With this, my remaining skill points are 61pt. Since this is a good opportunity, I try my new magic against Frog.

First, fly, which I had longed for. It was literally fly magic. It seemed to be controlled with a staff. Unlike Lily's magic, I guess it is not magic to fly freely. However, this feeling that cannot be experienced in reality seems to become a habit.

The advantage is that once I use it, I can stay flying for a while. It also seems that another magic can be used. The disadvantage is the lack of mobility. The staff is operated, so its movements are obvious. The time will expire after a certain period of time, so it is necessary to reapply magic each time.

Next is the Dust Devil. At first glance it looks like a tornado, but according to Arleigh, it has a blinding effect. The downside is that it only works on the designated area. The range is there, so it could be quite useful magic.

Sonic Boom. A magic that shoots a shockwave in a straight line specified with a staff. What makes it different from Fire Blast is its speed. It is not as fast as Blitz, but it is very difficult to avoid. Since it's a shockwave, it's quite doubtful that it can be cut even by magic cutting. The only drawback I can think of is the chanting time.

Lastly, Supercell. A magic that generates huge cumulonimbus clouds in the sky. It seems to be a magic that strengthens wind and lightning magic. The greatest feature of this magic is that it makes fly impossible. Well, it is usually impossible to fly in the place where a supercell is generated.

After confirming the magic, I logged out for dinner.

While I was cooking dinner, Kaito was gathering information on the bulletin board. Apparently, he is having quite a hard time with Baba Yaga.

"It seems that if you attack that house, it sucks you inside and kills you. Even if you don't attack, it's useless if you don't set the quest flag"

"Did you find the location of the other Baba Yagas?"

"Yes. I found it in the posts, but in case you're wondering, there's no mention of quest flags yet"

Is that so? I did some quick research and found this information. I'm sure others can find it too...

"Well, I guess they're keeping it under wraps. It happens all the time at fast-track events"

That's the way it is. Hoi, the food is ready. It's a hamburger steak.

"Wow. A delicious hamburger steak came out...I'm glad I skipped it?"

"Yours is made with frog meat, so you cut corners"

"Eh..."

Kaito stops.

"Y, You're kidding, right?"

"Bon apptit"

"Hey! Make sure you reassure me properly! You're too scared to eat it!"

In case you are wondering, it is a regular hamburger. There is no way I would go to the trouble of separating the meat. There is no way I would have bought frog meat in the first place.

At night, we contact the two Baba Yagas, relying on Kaito's information. This time, I decided to use earth magic. And they gave me an item each. Here it is.

Tracking Weathervane: Important Item

A magic weathervane that points to the location of the registered person.

Witch Cloak of Invisibility: Important Item

A magic straw raincoat made by Baba Yaga that mimics the surrounding landscape.

Ah, yes...you said clothes, so it's not a cape...too bad. Well, this is tasteful.

And the last Baba Yaga added new information.

"If you don't rescue Prince Finist by noon tomorrow, it may be too late...head there with the girl with the red flower"

"Eh? Do we have to take that girl with us?"

"Of course. It's a given that it's the girl he likes who wakes up the sleepyhead. You know that, boy"

Arleigh is rough. I'm not surprised, because I know what it's about from folklore. After that, we go to the girl's house and tell her what happened. That was the end of the quest.

"I'm not sure how that's possible...but I don't want to put my daughter in danger"

"Dad...I'm going. I met the prince and he saved my life...so now I want to save him!"

"...Haa...okay. Adventurers, please take care of my daughter"

The father asks for a favor and a new quest arises.

Event quest Rescue Prince Finisto has occurred

Event Quest Rescue Prince Finist: Difficulty D+

Time Limit: noon of the next day

Failure Condition: Death of the red flower girl, death of Prince Finist

Description: Rescue Prince Finist who is being held in prison.

There was a time limit and two people could die...at any rate, the rescue was to be the next morning and we logged out. After talking with Kaito, we agreed that there would be a middle boss. Bael is a frog demon king, so he would come as a frog monster. If that is the case, the key to victory will be the countermeasure against rain. After Kaito and I finished planning our strategy, we decided to go to bed.
