Chapter 215
I wasn’t sure if the magic tool had been made in time .
If this was the first invasion, then you could say that it had .
Because it had detected the first invasion .
But if this wasn’t the first time, then this invader would have been able to gather as much information as it liked .
It was no longer about checking merchants coming in and out of the settlement .
“Grulf . Mors . Can you tell which direction the invader went?”
“Groof . ”
“I’m terribly sorry . ”
After sniffing about desperately, Grulf let out a troubled bark . He wasn’t able to trace the invader .
Even Mors couldn’t do it with his magic .
“I see . That can’t be helped . ”
“So, what should we do?”
Kathe asked in a worried voice .
“Wait a minute . ”
“Very well . ”
And so I used Magic Search and Magic Exploration at the same time .
I would use magic over a wide area all at once .
Magic Search was able to find every living being that had magic energy . And it could search through a wide area .
However, it detected humans, beasts, and dark ones .
And you couldn’t tell what kind of magic they had .
All I knew was that there was someone with magic energy in that area .
But Magic Exploration allowed me to see what kind of magic it was .
However, the area of effect was small . I could only use it on one target at a time .
And so I went around and used Magic Exploration on everyone I detected .
I did this on everything that was within 5 minutes walking distance of the mansion .
The result was about 500 hundred targets .
Beastkin, livestock and wild animals were included .
But I was able to use Magic Exploration on all of them at once .
Only one target proved to be a dark one . It was already moving away from the mansion .
There was no time to lose .
“Follow me!”
“Yes . ”
“Groof!”
“Understood!”
It would take too much time to find a door or window .
And so I used magic to destroy the wall .

“What!”
“How violent!”
Mors and Kathe shouted in alarm . But I didn’t care .
It was an emergency . The mansion could be repaired later .
It was worse to allow the intruder to escape .
I was going to reinforce the mansion with magic anyway . I could repair it then .
And so we dashed out and chased the signal of the dark one .
It should be close by, and yet I couldn’t see anything .
A wraith… No, if it was a dark one, then it would be called a dark wraith .
I had encountered them before, but this was the first time I had to face a dark wraith .
“Perhaps I should have reinforced the mansion first…”
I had planned to make the magic tool and then do the mansion .
But the dark wraith wouldn’t have been able to enter had the magic reinforcement been complete .
“SHIIIIIIII!!!”
I couldn’t see it, but I could hear it .
At the same time, Dark Flame came shooting towards us . I surrounded my hand in magic energy and erased it from the air .
It was kind of like the Dark Ray that the Evil God Head had used .

“That’s some very powerful magic . ”
While it was a burning flame, it could also go through anything that was resistant to fire .
Which sounded rather useful . And so I Learned it .
“SHIIIII!!!”
The dark wraith shrieked again . It seemed surprised .
Wraiths were very intelligent monsters . And dark wraiths appeared to be no different .
It must have been quite confident in its Dark Flame magic .
“I saw you . ”
Just before it had unleashed its magic, I had seen a blurry outline of it .
It was like a black mist in the shape of a human .
But then it faded away when it shot at us . And it was now completely invisible again .
Even if I couldn’t see it, I still had Magic Exploration, so I had an idea of where it was .
“So…what to do . ”
If it were a vampire, I would want to capture and question it .
But it was difficult to catch a wraith . After all, they were not flesh and bone .
They were magical energy with a will and a soul . That’s what a wraith was .
And you could say that a Dark Wraith was the remnants that the Evil God dropped into this world .
They were made of magic energy and curses .

“What are you going to do?”
“We can’t make a barrier in time!”
Kathe and Mors said as they came running behind me .
Water dragons were good with barriers, and barriers could trap wraiths .
However, he was not prepared . The wraith would run away before he could do it .
Without turning around, I said,
“I’ll do what I can for now . ”
“We’ll leave it to you then!”
After seeing that its magic didn’t work on me, the dark wraith seemed to have decided to run .
It was trying to escape at full speed .
But it wasn’t particularly fast . Still, it was about the same as a horse .
We couldn’t dawdle .
I unleashed some magic in front of where it was running .
A large pillar of light appeared in front of the dark wraith .
It wasn’t so much magic as just a pillar of energy . Like a giant magic bullet .
“It’s so bright . ”
Brighter than I was expecting . Maybe I had overdone it .
“KIIIII!!!”
The Dark Wraith seemed to have become stunned as it stopped in front of the pillar .
