I’ve Changed My Job From [Sage] to [Thief] - C68

C68: Phantom Thief Shadow Elimination Plan (6)

“Ha, ha, ha, ha…….”

“Where’s the pervert who likes big tits?”

Shadow hid in one of the guest rooms in the mansion. On the other side of the door, Matilda, who had turned into a killing machine, walked slowly down the hallway.

“Now……what do I do?”

The quickest way to stop her is to kill Matilda. I don’t know how much magic resistance that armor has. However, if Shadow, who is a Sage, were to cast magic with all his might, she would not be able to escape unscathed.

“But……that’s not my style.”

Matilda may be a troubled person with a lot of assumptions, but she is not a bad person. It is not an interesting development for Shadow to let Matilda die, as she is just being used by the old mad scientist.

“If only I could somehow destroy that armor…….”

Of course, Rowdy Sandalon would have read that Shadow would do so. It was unlikely that disarming magic would work.

“For now, I’ll just hide….”

“Where are you, pervert?”

“…………”

Shadow waited for Matilda to pass through the corridor.

Knock, knock, knock……intermittently, the sound of footsteps echoed, gradually getting louder.

“…………gulp.”

My heart was beating furiously with a kind of tension I had never felt before. I swallowed my spit unknowingly and waited for the moment to come.

Pitter-patter. Matilda’s feet stopped in front of the room where Shadow was hiding.

“…………”

“…………”

The pounding of his heartbeat became stronger with intense fear and tension. This is the moment when Shadow feared that the heartbeat would reveal him.

“Come on out!”

Matilda moved away from the front of the room. Her voice and footsteps gradually drifted away.

“…………whew”

Shadow breathes a sigh of relief.

This bought me some time. In the meantime, I will take countermeasures.

“I found you!”

“Aaaaahhhh!”

The door was broken open and Matilda jumped in. Her bright red bloodshot eyes caught Shadow. Her red tongue peeps out from the gap between the crescent-shaped distorted lips.

“There you are!”

“Second Rank Magic [Fireball]!”

Shadow shoots a spell in desperation, but as soon as the fireball hits Matilda’s body, it vanishes without a trace.

“I knew the armor had magic resistance…….”

Matilda leapt to the ceiling of the room and swung her glowing blade over Shadow’s head.
