Jack successfully caught up to Rorschach's group and successfully ambushed them. After a bitter battle, Rorschach finally succeeded in killing Jack and completing his first Myth-ranked First Blood … but that was obviously impossible.
Jack maintained his distance as he circled in the sky. He only summoned a javelin for a long-range attack.
Since he didn't have the vision to see through the magical mist, even if he knew where Rorschach's group was, he would have to rely on the power of faith to be able to hit a vital point.
And if he hit the engine and caused substantial damage … Rorschach silently glanced at the terrified Molly as he seriously considered the possibility of tossing this jinx down.
"So they're here …"
Adeline directly took Molly to check the engine's condition. Rorschach and Su Nanna tacitly maintained the status quo as if they already had a plan.
That's right, not only did they already have a plan, they even knew that Jack was following them.
During the battle, Rorschach had been planted with a tracking Divine Art … and was instantly discovered.
[The old imprint type Divine Art can only sense the target within a certain range. Also, the target's location is very vague. Let's keep it for fishing.]
Rorschach's ability allowed him to always be connected to his younger sister, the Goddess of Chaos.
When the Goddess was fully focused, it would be a joke to use a Divine Art to harm a descender right under her nose.
"… Have we been discovered?"
The goal of keeping this imprint was quite clear. They wanted to lure Jack out and then kill him.
Rorschach wasn't the only one on the airship right now. Su Nanna had previously assassinated a Legend-ranked job class. Although they didn't know how strong Archdruid Maria and archmage Adeline were, it was expected that they would be close to Su Nanna's power level.
As long as Jack dared to come, everyone was quite confident that he wouldn't be able to escape.
As long as he appeared within everyone's range of abilities, no matter if it was the archmage's spells, the druid's tracking abilities, the ranger's tracking abilities, or Rorschach's long-range vision, everyone was confident that they would be able to hunt him down and kill him.
But judging from how Jack was flying higher and higher, it would seem that he had already seen through their scheme.
Even if he didn't fear death, there was no need for him to throw his life away.
For the sake of a necessary goal, those who didn't care about their own life and death were either brave warriors or perverts. Those who took the initiative to die for no reason could only be described as idiots.
"Then why is he here? You chased me all this way just to say hello? "
Rorschach fell silent. According to his understanding, this was indeed possible.
He came over to say hello and thank his playmate for making him happy. Then, he made an appointment to play again next time.
"… 'I had a great time today. I'll look for you next time.' Watch your back when it's dark? "
Roxia could only watch as Jack left while telling a joke that wasn't even the slightest bit funny and imagining a future that might very well become reality.
In Rorschach's party, there were mages, rangers, and swordsmen. It was quite a balanced job class … Unfortunately, none of them were skilled in aerial combat. It was impossible to stop them even if they wanted to.
The druid Maria was capable of transforming into a flying magical beast, but it was difficult to say whether she would be able to win or not. Most importantly, it would be difficult to make this temporary mercenary go all out.
At this moment, Rorschach could faintly guess at what Jack was thinking as he watched him leave in a different direction.
No matter what, Karwenz didn't intend to return to the silver elves' territory. However, this probably wouldn't be the last time they would meet.
Karwenz retracted his thoughts. Perhaps this matter had come to an end, and the following troubles had only just begun.
"The silver elves' flagship has sunk, and their grand plan to hunt down the Evil Gods has probably failed as well. Everything they worked so hard for over ten years has been destroyed in a single night. This is probably the worst loss they've suffered in the past ten years. Elves are petty, and the Superior Elves are ten times more petty. There's going to be a lot of fun coming up."
Ignoring the fact that Karwenz was slandering her own species, as an "outsider", Maria's exclamation was quite objective, but she also felt like she was taking pleasure in the silver elves' misfortune.
Following this, there would probably be a war of public opinion and a war of shifting the blame. Since the silver elves had suffered such a huge loss, it was inevitable that they would look for trouble behind the scenes.
In that case, Molly, as the person involved, would be incredibly important. If Karwenz could shift all the blame onto Jack, then everything would naturally be over.
No matter whether or not Jack was the main culprit, Rorschach and the Game Church probably wouldn't be able to get away from some trouble. Karwenz, who hadn't caused much trouble yet, felt slightly uneasy.
However, a voice not only made all his uneasiness vanish, it even turned into joy.
[… I can finally get back the book that my mother left for me.]
Just as Rorschach was feeling inexplicably moved and satisfied, the airship suddenly started shaking even more violently.
“boom！”
This familiar explosion and shaking caused Rorschach to recall the feeling of the engine room going up into the sky. When he turned around, he saw a slender headless body holding a parachute that was hanging on the wall.
As if noticing Rorschach's gaze, the headless body took out a small notebook from her chest and started writing on it.
"Relax, the engine is fine. My brain is instructing the mage sister to fix it. But there's nothing wrong with making preparations beforehand. My brain isn't free right now, so I'll 'split up' to do things. It'll be twice as efficient. I must be amazing to be able to come up with such an amazing idea. Hmph, I have experience. Trust me, this airship definitely won't sink. "
At this moment, Rorschach seriously considered whether or not he should toss this experienced, jinx, and jinx off the airship.
"… Actually, I have some experience as well. Every time someone says that the airship won't sink, especially the person who drives the airship or repairs it, the result is …"
[Jinx! Can't you just not raise a flag …]
“boom！”
An even more violent explosion sounded. This time, it sounded like even the fuel depot was playing along.
"It's hopeless! Prepare to abandon the airship! Damn bastards, my new airship is Emily! "
It hadn't even been that long, yet they had already come up with a name.
Rorschach didn't need to wait for Adeline and the others to answer. The headless body that was currently carrying the parachute on her back already explained everything.
"It seems that we don't need to wait for Xiu … Since her brain can't hear, why don't we just leave this jinx behind?"
Rorschach joked, but noticed that Su Nanna and Maria were frowning and seriously considering this.
"Just kidding, just kidding, don't be so serious, it's a little scary … Eh, what's that?"
Right after Rorschach stepped out of the airship, he noticed something that attracted his attention not too far away on the ground. It was a pitch-black mass that he seemed to have seen not too long ago.
