Clap Your Hands and Everything Comes (Two-in-One, Continued)
"Yeah?"
Hermes bit his thumb; at that moment, the god truly understood just how troublesome the situation was.
However, he quickly waved to Asphie behind him, and Asphie immediately understood and stepped forward.
"Asfi, bring out the 'Helm of Hades'!"
Asifei was taken aback by the man's words, but she quickly understood his intention and took out a golden helmet.
Hermes? What is this?
Artemis immediately asked curiously.
Of course, she was well aware that this was a magical artifact.
After all, magical items created by the "The Versatile" of the "Hermes Familia" are very popular in Orario.
She asked what special function this magical technique had.
Even William cast a curious glance his way, after all, they were both possessors of "mystery"!
He was also very curious about what kind of works this "The Versatile" famous throughout Orario would create.
"Well, seeing it with your own eyes is much better than just describing it verbally."
Hermes smiled mysteriously, and everyone's attention turned to the Sea Clan Princess.
"Then I'll begin!"
Asfi, of course, noticed William's gaze, and at the same time, a slight resistance arose in her heart without her even realizing it.
She slowly raised the helmet in her hand and then gently put it on her small head.
A miracle happened at that moment.
A person who was alive and well here vanished before everyone's eyes as soon as the Asfi was put on.
Hiss--
Several gasps of shock rang out at that moment.
"That's invisibility! That's amazing!"
Lethsa was the first to speak, and she generously offered her praise.
Everyone present understood how useful the ability to become invisible could be at this moment.
With this magical item, they can pass through the monster horde without having to fight the scorpion-shaped monsters.
"Hermes, how many of these helmets do you have now?"
Artemis's eyes shone with excitement.
Honestly, this was the first time she felt that Hermes, that good-for-nothing, could actually be of some use.
"Five! After all, we hadn't expected to need this, so we didn't prepare too many."
Hermes opened his palm, revealing five fingers.
Five!
Artemis's expression once again showed disappointment, followed by a spitting sound.
"I thought there would be at least thirty or so!"
After all, five is still too few. If something unexpected happens, these five people will be isolated and helpless, and their chances of survival are slim.
"How could I possibly have brought so many!"
"I'm sorry, Lady Artemis, but making these magical items is very troublesome!"
"So thirty is really unlikely."
Asfi removed the helmet from her head, revealing her heroic figure once again.
Excuse me!
"I remember saying I'd be in charge of clearing out these monsters!"
"Why bother with such a troublesome method as invisibility!"
William couldn't help but speak up as he watched the group engaged in a lively discussion.
He was confident that his memory was sound; he remembered clearly saying those words once.
"Spengler, I know you are very confident in yourself."
"But the quantity is too large, so we need a more cautious approach."
Artemis said helplessly to William, after what had just happened, she now thought William was an arrogant person, just like she had the night before.
After all, he could reprimand himself so clearly and logically, so he certainly wouldn't be so impulsive. The fact that he's still acting like this means he doesn't have a concrete understanding of how many enemies there are.
Hermes silently lowered the brim of his hat, appearing completely unprepared to participate in the discussion and ready to watch the show.
"If I can't do that, then I'll use my magic instead of Miss Asfi's magical artifacts to help everyone approach stealthily."
As William spoke, he disappeared from everyone's sight, just like Asfi had done earlier.
"This is...!"
The gasps of surprise this time far surpassed those from when they saw Asfi disappear.
"I also possess a similar magic to invisibility, and my magic is different from Miss Asfi's."
William remained invisible, continuing to explain the principles of his magic to the others.
If William hadn't been invisible in front of them, the scene would have truly looked like a ghost was speaking.
"Miss Asfi's magical artifact simply mimics the colors of her surroundings to achieve invisibility."
"My magic is similar in that respect, but there's another aspect to it."
"That is, it can eliminate its own scent and all traces, achieving perfect invisibility."
Asfi was completely shocked and speechless, while the Dog-man Race- woman seemed to be trying to prove William's point.
He moved closer and sniffed with his sensitive nose, then nodded to the crowd.
