Chapter 44
Visitor
After a month of work, a bundle of magic threads was finally made.
It was about 40 meters with a thickness of about 1 mm. That may sound like a lot, but each pendulum used about 10 meters, so when I thought about it, I only had enough for 4 pendulums in store, which was good as I wouldn’t waste any of it.
When I didn’t have the [manipulation thread] skill, I could only compensate for about 10% of the hit rate, but now that I have the skill, I could compensate for about 30% of the hit rate.
The threads that were made with my blood instead of my hair had a correction of about 20%, but I was certain that the same level of correction could be achieved with these magic threads.
And above all, the thread was strong. No matter how much I strengthened the cotton thread with magic power, Grave was still able to easily see through it and had even cut the thread in the end.
Of course, even this magical thread couldn’t catch a blade by itself, but it must be very difficult to cut this thread that would be flying in the air.
As I was learning from my Master how to treat the threads with antisepsis and fireproofing, and finally strapped on a dark throwing knife to replace the missing blade, my Master suddenly looked up, and I did the same, turning my gaze toward the entrance.
“I sense the presence of someone.”
“… Erase your presence, you unsociable disciple. For now, you go in the back. I’ll deal with them.”
“Yes, Master.”
A human-like presence appeared in a place like this that had not been visited by anyone for the past five months.
