Reincarnated as a Dragon’s Egg ~Lets Aim to Be the Strongest~
257. Third Manticore
Yarg re-tied the other arm with a new rope, pulling the tip of the rope and heading to Manticore to take the prisoner.
From behind, Tatark is poking a spear at the other party's head.
In the opposite hand of holding Tatark's spear, he had something like a cantera with glowing stones.
How much did Yarg enjoy being kicked earlier, holding his nose tip from time to time with his bandaged, wrapped hands.
Tatark looked at each other anxiously many times on the road.
When the other party stares back at Tatark, Tatark looks away from him at first sight.
Distract, then pout and open your mouth.
"… soon, to the residence of Manticore. I know I'll be here when the sun goes down. Who should be waiting in the temple by now?"
That's one place all day, what a guarantee.
Has the area been negotiated through the blood of a witch who can use the [Reading Talk]?
Now Manticore is supposed to fall asleep alarmed enough.
It was worth the wait until this hour to match the Litveal tribe.
"Hey Tatark, don't talk nonsense"
"Yes..."
Tatark looks at each other again as Yarg stares at him and bows his head.
He seemed to be asking me if I was really willing to fight Manticore.
The other side ignored Tatark's gaze and walked silently pulled by Yarg.
Eventually we arrived in front of a large cave.
Like a sacrificial cave, it feels like a cavity made into a rocky mountain.
But most of the holes are bigger than those caves over there, and they seem to be deeper.
The entrance is engraved on the wall with a mural imitating the manticore.
It made the original cave look good for Manticore.
It seems true that he was plotting to get in the mood for Manticore.
Yarg stopped his foot in front of the entrance, staring at the other side with his butt and narrowing his eyes.
He seemed surprised because the other side couldn't resist.
Given what the other party has said and done so far, it would be natural to be suspicious.
Yarg is getting his fingers ripped off by the other side, kicked in the body, and decided on a broken nose combo.
"Ah? What's going on?
"... going crazy"
"Should I ram him?
Yarg was stared at by the other side and dropped his gaze for a moment on his injured arm.
I didn't put it on my face, but I guess I remembered the pain of getting my finger bitten.
Relying on the cantera lights Tatark holds in his hand, he proceeds to the back of the cave.
But I didn't think it was such a stupid big cave.
The width is also in the nest of an ant, and it's longer than I thought.
I don't think I need to get away with this.
And what do you care...
"... this cave, is it a dead end ahead?
"Oh, yeah."
To the whining of the other party, Tatark answers.
Yeah, I wanted to make sure of that.
Thank you, guys.
"Well, you can't get away with it."
Stare at the back of the cave as they lick their tongues.
"Hey Tatark! How many times do I have to tell you not to have a futile conversation!
Yarg yells at Tatark.
I guess he received the other mouthpiece as' not easily escaped Manticore 'instead of' not easily escaped Manticore '.
I don't think this one's going to tailor the manticore.
The other party thumped his tongue.
As the sound echoes in the cave and reacts to it, a loud noise is heard from the back.
Something happened to my body.
The footsteps of a giant beast approach.
"... Manticore, don't come"
That's what Yarg whines about.
My voice is shaking a little. He seemed threatened.
At that time, Tatark threw Cantera into the universe and then speared at the other side, pushing him.
"Tah, tah tark, what..."
"Mr. Yarg, please step back! Back off!"
Tatark hit Yarg on the shoulder.
Yarg lets go big and let go of his hand from the tip of the other rope.
Tatark waves his spear tip to the rope of his opponent's arm.
The other side avoided it by jumping backwards.
"Ahhh!
To the unexpected movement of the other party, Tatark relaxed and fell on the spot.
From Tatark, it would have been a decisive decision to set the other side free before Manticore arrived.
... However, if you can keep the manticore as alert as possible, you should keep the rope on your arm.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You can always take it off.
"Tatarku! What are you thinking! I was just kidding. Just imitating!
Yarg regains his posture as he barks.
"What, oh, no... Huh?
As Tatark confused, he alternates between his opponent and Yarg.
"... hey, me, shouldn't I have avoided it?
The other side zeroes his words at me.
Yes, no, I'm glad I avoided those now... well, you said I had no choice.
I thought I'd be a little obstinate, but there was no such respite.
A huge, familiar monster appeared in the back of the cave, along with the big footsteps.
"Gee, gee, gee, gee!"
It's finally time to reunite with Manticore.
In addition to a body that is overwhelmingly larger than human, it has a horrible face that adds a human expression to the leopard.
I didn't have as much fear because I was in the same physique when I met him before, but from a human perspective, this is yabeye.
Manticore sees the other side and drools the saliva from between his fangs.
Yarg runs, stops at a sufficient distance from Manticore, and turns around.
"... I brought the bait, the bait"
Yarg said to Manticore to plead.
So don't kill me, it was even a way of saying I felt like I was calling you in the dark.
I guess that's all Manticore is an object of awe for the Litveal tribe.
