With the four liches begin to use their search magic, the other adventure (Khamishah, Kronbir, Kucin and Salim) begin to search any clue to help them in search of the wind spirit, Garuda. Since Salim is a local in the village, he move around faster as compared to other. Still, with the dark night and the tense environment, they are limited to what they can do. So, the rest are left to the four liches
The liches plan are to use the feather from the Fire Spirit, Phoenix as a guidance. They were there when Faizi and Fauzi shown them the holy feather, imbued not only with fire mana, but also some holy mana as well. Now, they are trying their best to detect wind mana imbued with the holy mana. Their assumption is that since those two are a spirit, it's only natural that they share similar properties but
"No good, we can't find any clue" [Sister Anessa]
The lich, Anessa let out a complaint, not that it will stop her from searching. In fact, she instantly double her effort. They knew that all of them are currently in a race against time, and unfortunately time weren't on their side. The longer the time they tame to search the wind spirit, the harder it will become
Suddenly, she detect an acceleration mana coming from Kucin, not only that, Kucin seem to use some mirage magic, stealth mode to hide her presence and
"!!!" [Soldier]
She slice open the abdomen of a straying soldier and put her hand on his mouth so that the soldier won't scream. Seeing this, Slyph make the air molecules around the soldier to a still, as to not transmit any sound that the soldier may produce later on
"I can use memory dive spell, this might not be the ideal situation but we just have to do so" [Aunty Maria]
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
"Please do, we will stay on guard" [Kronbir]
With Kronbir reassurance, Maria instantly activate her memory dive magic, her technique are crude as compared to Alfin but this might be due to the time constraints they are in, plus, Alfin will usually do something to wear off the mind of her target before using memory dive so that she can get a better results, but alas, Maria just have to go with the shock the soldier get from getting sliced by Kucin, and after a while
"How was it?" [Sister Miriam]
"Bad news, this soldier doesn't know the current location of Garuda, good news, he knew someone that were tasked to transport Garuda" [Aunty Maria]
"Right, then just use memory projection magic and send the memory to the adventure, they will look for the said soldier while we will continue with our search" [Mother Elaonora]
"Sound like a plan" [Khamishah]
With her mirage magic, she shoot a silver arrow mana right into the adventure forehead, the image of the soldier that knew the location of Garuda were instantly transferred to each one of their mind, and those adventure spare no time to start searching the adventure, until
"I can detect a convoy of soldier at the east" [Slyph]
"I see, Kronbir, Kucin, and Salim, we will scout that convoy and see whether our target are currently there or not" [Khamishah]
"""Understood""" [Kronbir, Kucin, Salim]
With Khamishah leading them, they quickly went to the said convoy, looking for their target. The night might be dark, even darker in the countryside, with only a dim of light from those soldier to illuminate the surrounding, but that was all that is needed for each one of them, a top class adventure to locate their target
(Around 30 soldier, they are on alert, but we still have the advantage) [Khamishah]
Khamishah look at Kronbir, Kucin and Salim, getting ready to strike, but there's a problem, they have to do it fast and silently or else their entire plan will be turn into foiled
"It's alright, I am here. I can help you guys do it as quick and as silent as possible" [Slyph]
"Can you tell us your plan?" [Kucin]
"Simple" [Slyph]
Slyph tell her plan to the four adventure
"Ohh... it's the same as in the last time" [Kucin]
"I see, you must have seen Kirthiga and Sipy using that spell, but I do believe this is one step higher" [Khamishah]
"Well, shall we start?" [Slyph]
