I Reincarnated as a Shinai

Chapter 356: Secrets Of The Dark Elves ( 3 )

Cough! Cough!

The two Half-Imps needed about a minute to regain their senses

The self-destruction of such a high-level Arcanist with plenty of Spiritual Energy is extremely dangerous after all. 

If not for Luoyang's timely action, they would probably be caught by the explosion and perished together with him.

"Sir Luoyang Thank you so much for that." 

"Yeah That almost ended our life. No, even the lives of these Arcanists."

Stasis and Vinete expressed their gratitude after calming down. This is the first time they fought against such a high-ranking individual and they almost perished. If possible, they don't want to do this kind of thing again. 

Perhaps fighting against multiple Second-Class is better. 

"It's fine Don't worry about it. I also want to save Reiji after all. That kind of explosion might have affected him severely since he's in a dormant state right now."

Luoyang said as he glanced at Reiji that is currently chained on a pillar made of unknown stone. 

"You're right So, let's remove Master Reiji from those chains. Vinete, help me."

Stasis said as he decided to approach the Shinai.

However, Luoyang suddenly stopped him from approaching. 

"What's wrong?" Stasis and Vinete are confused and looked at the floating Taichi Sword. 

After not hearing an answer, they decided to just scrutinize the chains around their master to find something. 

Unfortunately, they were unable to find anything wrong, or at least, they are still lacking in experience and couldn't tell that something was not right.

"Hmm It's dangerous to touch the chains directly. I'm not good with this Perhaps, we have to wait for the others. Dingxiang should be good with this."

Luoyang suddenly said. 

"I understand. However, is that chain cursed or perhaps poisoned?" Stasis asked as he slowly stepped back.

They just fought against an Assassin after all. They are known to use all kinds of evil things just to kill their targets. 

In short, putting poisons and curses secretly is just the type of thing they would do to kill them. 

With this in mind, they have decided to just take a look around first since they also spend a lot of Spiritual Energy during the battle. Aside from that, they have used their Shell Protection to the maximum a while ago and ate another huge chunk of their Energy. 

If they won't rest, they would surely suffer if there's another ambush that comes in their way.

"How about the Arcanist tied down here, Sir Luoyang? Do you sense any issues from them?"

Stasis asked as he was planning to ask these people about the real situation here in the village. 

"Hmm They are bound by a magical item. However, I can't feel malicious energy coming from it. It seems that it is a common item that could suppress anyone who is bounded by those chains. It's a lot weaker than the chain bound to Reiji." Luoyang said after appraising the chains tying on those poor Arcanists.

"I see Vinete, do you remember what the Dark Elf said about these people?"

"Yeah He mentioned that this is a batch of Arcanists sent by the Tower to them. The scariest thing is that they seem to be planning to create a Sentient Arcana out of these people." Vinete shuddered after saying those words. 

After all, if that is the truth, it will greatly change their view about the Arcana, especially the Sentient ones!

Stasis and Vinete then unconsciously looked at the floating Taichi Sword in front of them.

"Hey, I know what you guys are thinking. Unfortunately, I'm not an Artificial Sentient Arcana. I'm a genuine one. Haha"

Luoyang said as he couldn't help but chuckle after seeing their pitiful gaze at him.

They are probably thinking that he was also previously a human Arcanist that was turned into a Sentient Arcana. 

"I-is that so? You know that we won't change our view if we know the truth, right? We will still treat you like a friend even if you have such a past. You don't have to worry about it."

Vinete said full of care.

"Haha Really! I'm not a human turned into this. I just gained Sentient since I'm strong and I deserve it." Luoyang said as he decided to just look around the room.

The place is actually filled with random Arcana and they seem to be items that will be used to contain the consciousness of the human Arcanists. 

"Should we try freeing these people?" Stasis asked.

Honestly, he felt bad about them but he didn't dare to just randomly save them like a hero since they are humans. They are someone who hates half-imps like them and would normally be killed or turned into a slave is seen by these people.

With that in mind, he didn't rashly make a decision and asked for the two's opinions.

"Hmm Let me see. I can still feel some life from a few of them. However, some of them had actually died during the battle. I think they were hit by a random attack and died immediately since they can muster the strength to defend themselves." Vinete said helplessly.

Right now, there are only 6 human Arcanists that are still alive.

These six should be able to answer their questions

"Well, they look weak already. It should be fine to remove some of the restrictions and ask them questions first."

Stasis nodded at Luoyang's suggestion.

However, before he could do that, they heard another explosion not too far from them.

"Ugh I forgot about them"

It seems that Stella and Diether's battle against the other First-Class Dark Elf is reaching its end. However, they might need some help so they have to act. 

"The battle is still not over. I think we should help the others first. Sir Luoyang, can I leave this place to you?" Stasis said as he glanced at the sword. 

"Alright I can create a simple array to protect us here."

"Great. Vinete, please try to help Mourad and others outside. I'll check out Diether and Stella's situation."

"Got it"

Vinete said as she activated her Silent Steps and Phantom Dash and rushed outside. 

On the other hand, Luoyang started to slowly approach Reiji.
