Strongest Alchemist System
Chapter 17: Try as much as possible
I ran and kept running.
Along the way we were always confronted by the monsters that roamed the place, but the Elf warriors on guard quickly drew their arrows and killed the monster. So we can leave without any obstacles.
“Riku-san, over there!” elvy shouted as he pointed towards the Sacred Tree.
Amidst this swarm of monsters, we continued to run and run as fast as possible to go to the Sacred Tree.
“Good, we're close!” I shouted as I looked at the large hole of the Sacred Tree, which was where the Elves were to take shelter from the monsters.
However, as soon as we were about to get there, I was struck by a monster that looked like a dragonfly insect that suddenly appeared from behind the collapsed house and intended to attack me.
“Kraakk—!!”
Looking at that monster who was whispering noisily, I furrowed my eyebrows.
After all, if it had been this close, it would not have had time to wait for the Elf warriors to release the arrows.
Shit, I guess I can only give up.
Thinking that I would not be able to survive without severe injuries, I immediately prepared with my healing potion, so that I could immediately treat my injuries and return to running.
Will but—
“Riku-san, down!” shouted Elvy.
It took me by surprise, and my body reflexively jumped to the side. At the same time, Elvy reached out her hand towards the monster and shouted.
“[Wind Blade]!”
A strong wind roared like a sharp sword blade, and instantly dismembered the insect into pieces.
Seeing that, my eyes were shocked.
“You're okay, Riku-san?!”
“Ya-Yah. I just found out you can use magic too,” I said in amazement, it really surprised me until I thought I was going to wet my pants.
“Fufun, actually I did a secret exercise!” reply Elvy while puffing his chest proudly, and smiling widely.
“Ahaha, you are really very great!” I sincerely praised him, and stroked his head gently. He seemed very happy when I did.
After that, we again ran towards the Sacred Tree.
Once there, we were still confronted by monsters. They really are endless. But, fortunately those Elf warriors quickly killed those monsters immediately.
Seeing that, Elvy and I both nodded, and then we immediately approached the hole from that Sacred Tree, which was currently covered by a magic barrier.
“Hey, open! We came to save you!!” I shouted with all my might while banging on the magic barrier.
“....”
However, there was absolutely no response from within.
Since it wasn't a transparent magic barrier, they couldn't see us outside.
“Mila-san! Can you hear me?! It's me Elvy, please open this barrier!”
“….”
Elvy tried to call as well, but unfortunately just like me, there was absolutely no response from within.
Damn, is this shield soundproof too?!
We don't have time, what should I do?!
“Riku-san, please step back for a moment.”
“Elvy-chan?”
“I'll open it by force.”
“Eh?”
Hearing that, I exclaimed like a fool. But, before I could even ask what she wanted to do, Elvy took a deep breath and instantly cast her magic.
As soon as the ramp was over, the ball quickly shot out of Elvy's hand and crashed into the magic barrier.
‘Bum!’
At that very moment a powerful explosion made a crack in the barrier.
Well, it might just be a crack, but it was enough to make our voices get into the barrier.
“Riku-san!” shouted Elvy.
“Yeah, I understand!”
Hearing that, I immediately shouted out loudly before the barrier recovered.
“Mila-san, we came to save you, please open this barrier!! Please, we need your help! Please open this barrier!!” my screams in despair, hoping that my voice could get in there.
However, even after the barrier recovered, there was absolutely no response from within. It makes us even more desperate.
Elvy had run out of steam, so she could not use her magic anymore. Whereas I simply do not have enough power to destroy that magic barrier.
Damn, it was at a time like this that I really wished the goddess was here.
If only he were here, we could destroy this magic barrier easily using his [Break Spell] magic.
“Cih, is there no way anymore?!”
Is there nothing that can break this barrier?
While I was disconnectedly thinking about the various ways we could do while looking down gloomy, my eyebrows shot up as soon as I saw something under my feet.
“Land?”
My eyes looked towards the bottom of the magic barrier, and realized that there was a small gap at the bottom of the barrier.
True too, when viewed carefully, the barrier was not at all penetrating into the ground. Why would I miss something as simple as this?
If we think about it, maybe that woman named Mila won't give us any way to get us to contact her.
Since he thought that he would be saved, he would definitely give a gap for us— the rescue squad can contact him.
Realizing that, I immediately threw an energy-boosting bottle at Elvy. He looked surprised when he received the bottle, but I ignored him.
“Elvy-chan, can you use that magic again?” my many.
“Eh, you mean [Wind Blast]? I can use it, but Riku-san, it won't have the strength strong enough to crack the barrier again,” he replied, with a grim face.
Hearing that, I smiled broadly. “No, that alone is enough, please use that magic again to dig a hole that is under that barrier.”
“Eh, what's— Ah!” It seemed that Elvy also realized what I wanted to do, her eyebrows raised, and she slowly regained her cheerful face. “I understand, Riku-san! I'll do it!”
“Well, give it your best, Elvy-chan!”
I gave my thumbs to the girl, and she immediately drank the power-enhancing potion I gave her quickly, then started plundering back her magic.
“[Wind Blast]!”
‘Bum!’
At the same time, a green ball smaller than the previous one shot just below the barrier, and provided a small gap enough to connect us into the barrier.
Seeing that, we both nodded and shouted loudly simultaneously.
“Open the barrier!”
Moments later...
The barrier started to disappear from the bottom up, and standing right in front of the barrier that was starting to open it was a beautiful Elf woman with her body teasing.
The woman had long, wavy light green hair, and was wearing a white priestess outfit that showed her tight body shape.
“Alright, who here needs the help of Onee-chan?”
