★ In the other carriage, where Atri and Yulitia are, they also manage to kill the bandits surrounding them and quickly head toward Wolka’s location.
★ The merchant, whose name is Stafio, gets cornered and uses a scroll to activate spirit magic. The spirit magic he activates allows him to summon Glutonia.
Black hands appear from the magic circle and devour everything nearby. The members of Silvery Gray manage to avoid the reach of Glutonia’s hands, but Luely is not so lucky.
Luely cannot escape in time, and one of her arms is touched by Glutonia, leaving her badly injured. Stafio immediately moves toward Luely and takes her hostage.
★ Stafio says that Luely is one of the bandits’ accomplices because she helped them trap adventurers. Those words make Luely’s regret grow even stronger, until she falls into despair.
★ Lizel uses high-tier barrier magic to protect them from Glutonia’s attacks. Even though Glutonia’s hands can be destroyed, new hands keep appearing again and again, and their numbers keep increasing.
Wolka cannot just let Luely stay as Stafio’s hostage, so he takes a sword-drawing stance. His concentration becomes so sharp that he can only see his target, even though the target is outside the reach of his sword.
But in his heart, Wolka feels like he can reach Stafio, just like when he defeated the Grim Reaper.
Wolka successfully uses his sword-drawing technique, Silver Lightning, an attack that can cut through anything and ignore distance. The Silvery Gray party is shocked because this is the same technique Wolka used to save all of them during the fight against the Grim Reaper.

I'm half expecting them tumbling down the stairs in some ruins right into some Wizard Atlantis Magitech shit and get the "Ultra moded godlike legs" like in a lot of mangas.And then he found an ancient elven prosthetic and beastmoded on all of the bandits with no help from his compatriots, and cemented his legacy in swordsmanship solely by his own power, completely nullifying these past several chapters of buildup.
The point is to capture them all. Springing the trap will let them get a large number, and the hideout won't be expecting their main force to be wiped out so there's time to rescue whoever's still in there.I really don't understand what the point of going along with the farce is. They have the holy saint right? And she just divined their sins? Can they not just chop some heads and be done with it or tie them up and turn them in? Sure they're holding the girl's friend hostage but it'd be safer to just beat the criminals up now, torture information out of them if needed, and to save whomever. Unless there's some long distance instant communication spell that goes off when the bad guys die or something (which either way the main characters never brought up this being a possibility). Why is the strategy to get ambushed on purpose??
Also did she say Swords woman? That'd suck. They really go overboard with making every single character female and a love interest. I actually really liked the idea of the MC just having a really good MALE friend.
Because justice is just not cool with this pacing.Justice without purpose is meaningless violence, but Justice with purpose is meaningful violence; we are bound to get to the action either way, so why not just enjoy the ride?
They are springing the trap on the enemy because the ruffians/bandits almost certainly have another member in the city. As a group, they can't afford to risk just slaying them now if they want to get every one. If that happens, everything that they want to do is at a loss. And even if they are sure an instant communication method exists, well a dead man trigger for the spell then also works much the same way. Also, it isn't like they can instantly just torture people for information, nor is it always reliable, even with a sister who can tell the veracity of their words. So the best case scenario for the group is to spring the trap now.I really don't understand what the point of going along with the farce is. They have the holy saint right?
