A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

What Leurus saw as he ran south of the town of Speranza as he heard the monster roar was the image of a haunted bear rushing towards the town.

Boasting an adult body of nearly three meters, the mammoth bear looks at the revus standing on the earth wall and increases its rush speed.

(Now bear... adulthood is probably intermediate, but... you think later.)

It will not be possible to jump over the earth wall, but even though it is lower, if it is a rush of intermediate monsters, it may destroy the earth wall even if it does not jump.

For this reason, Reus immediately jumped to the ground and stood ready to carry the "Dragon Slash" on his right shoulder, which remained in the sheath.

Goaaaaaaaaaa!

Having seen such a revulsion, the haunted bear fired a fireball with a roar as if he had opened his mouth wide. A fireball about one meter in diameter burst into flames, illuminating the surroundings and flying in a straight line to Reurus.

Fufu!

Avoiding damage to earth walls and empty moats causes Reus to shake the Dragon Slash vertically, knocking out the fireball and spraying it with mist. With the flame magic of Sarah and Vanille, I was able to amputate without any difficulty, not to mention the fireball of a broken bear.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Taking advantage of the momentum of slashing the fireball, Reurus instantly fills his distance from the Bear. And when he roared at the haunted bear, he started slashing at the haunted bear who was about to wave down his gigantic arm like a log.

Reurus swings down the Dragon Slash from a straight line to match the swinging down arm.

If you have a sturdy exterior shell like Kimira, the Bear is covered in fur and muscle. Therefore, as a result of striking the blade from a straight angle, two of the four arms on the right side of the Bear danced in space.

Bears with their arms chopped off try to turn their roars into screams and raise their voices. However, Reurus knocked in the front kick while using the "reinforcement" and kicked it flying. As he grabbed the falling arm in the air, he murmured.

"... don't solve it."

They attacked all of a sudden, but the attack was too monotonous.

Threatened and grabbed the flesh of the Bear's arm, the Bear wakes up and starts rushing toward Reurus again.

Even though I think it moves a lot when I skip my arm, I am not alarmed by the revulsion.

Reurus, who flew over to crush the neck of the haunted bear and stabbed the "Dragon Slasher" neck near his heart to be careful, exhaled a lot after confirming that the haunted bear would not move.

(I haven't seen him lately, and even if I did, no one would have come near the town....)

Most monsters escaped from around the town of Speranza due to the “disturbance” caused by Reus before. Still, after a while, he came back a little bit, but it was unusual for the Reurus to “clean” the area around the town frequently, or come from monsters like this.

For now, bring in the body of the Bear.

It doesn't fall into my heart, but intermediate monster materials aren't available these days. For that reason, I thought I'd be happy for the first time, but I heard the sound of a high alarm.

Ugh!

When he heard the sound, Reurus quickly jumped over the earth's walls, leaving the body of the demolished bear behind. And when I ran using "Enhancement", I caught the monster in the distance.

Near the center of town was a monster of black snakes called Tempers.

Perhaps he had crossed the earthen wall, but Collard with his sword and Meer holding the knife confronted him and seemed to be holding the black snake back.

――――

The full-speed Reurus silently ambushes the Black Snake against Collard and Meer. When the black snake jumped ahead of realizing the existence of the revus, like a guillotine, the blade of the "Dragon Slash" was hanging on his torso and swinging down.

Hmm!?

What surprised me was the black snake. Suddenly, a body nearly twenty meters long was severed from the center, greatly unbalanced.

"Nnnh!

Don't miss the black snake gap, Collard steps in and flashes his sword. The strike grabbed the head of the black snake with no aim, engraving deep slashing marks.

Collard's sword is shorter than Reurus's "Dragon Slash." That's why I couldn't drop the head of a black snake nearly a meter thick.

Still, Collard, who was cut to the middle of his neck, retreated without being forced to. It was a response that I didn't have to do anymore than Reurus ran into it.

Reurus immediately drops the head of the black snake following such a collard move. And when he confirmed that the black snake was not moving, he turned to Collard.

"There's a bear out there... I'm sorry I moved on my own."

"No, I don't mind. We have to take them both down anyway. If there was no damage to the town, it would be good."

When I ran to see if there was a powerful monster that could escape from a junior monster, it was a fake bear. As a result, Collard waved his hand to Reurus, who felt like he had a shoulder watermark but apologized.

"But where did he come from? The sewers don't let you in or out, do they?

Reurus feared that the intrusion-proof lattice might have been torn, but Collard shook his neck sideways.

"I crossed the wall from the west side of town and came in... it would have been dangerous if I hadn't kept watch."

"Even at that height, can he get over it... just one?"

With that said, Reurus explores the surrounding signs, but there are no signs of it. It seemed that Eliza and the others were watching the area and checking for other black snakes.

"... I don't think so, but was it a diversion or something?

"You think the monsters are working together? I think it's a coincidence....."

"No, rather than collaborating, it was manipulated by someone...."

Collard glanced at Reurus's words. Rather than being unbelievable, she murmurs in a tone she just says she doesn't want to believe.

"The same goes for the report on the town of Lemona, but there was someone who actually manipulated the others... I don't want that to happen to me..."

I agree.

Reurus laughs bitterly at Collard's murmuring. In the meantime, however, he remained vigilant and sharpened his consciousness so he could move no matter what.

"But if even monsters have the ability to manipulate them, would this be a foolish idea? Even though it was divided, it was a stupid bone such as putting in combat force one after the other."

"... that's also true."

I thought it was a coincidence to hear Collard's words, but I still remember what caught me.

A junior monster fleeing an intermediate monster attacked first. You can also think of it as an attack on an intermediate monster.

But Reurus' intuition denies it. That's because the timing is too good.

(First the junior monster, then the intermediate monster... it's like trying it... but the senior monster...)

It is a Reurus that I think is perhaps also investigating the power of the town of Speranza, but I shake my head and deny the last thought that came to mind.

There is no sign of a new monster attacking the Black Snake. If an advanced monster is nearby, so is Sarah, but Reurus will also notice the magic.

However, I can't be optimistic if it's someone like Vaniel.

It was a realuse that alerted me, but after that, the monsters never attacked me until dawn.

Three days after the full moon night.

Without anything unusual happening during the day, and without monsters attacking at night, Reurus and the others encouraged town building while being careful not to let down their guard.

It's been a week since we sent the messenger to the abandoned city of Laval, and the messenger should be back by today as soon as possible.

Reurus and his escort dwarf returned to the town of Speranza slightly around the clock.

However, there are more people who weren't there at the time of departure.

Gilba was surprised to see the town of Speranza as she stepped into it and leaked an impressive voice.

"No, no... I heard that the construction of the town is going well, but this is more than I imagined..."

Collard nodded with a cold sweat as he greeted him and heard such a murmur.

"All the workers are doing their best... by the way, Mr. Gilba? Thank you for responding to my request....."

Collard, who was in front of Gilba, had a bad laugh about where he had gone lately. Becoming a Baron is a Collard that outweighs Zilba in social terms, but he still doesn't like what he doesn't like.

"No, I wanted to see Sarah and Neddy, and personally, I wanted to visit once."

Gilba smiles like that.

As expected, it was difficult to leave the abandoned city of Laval without Natalia. Still, as the soldiers who sent them to the abandoned city of Laval rushed to Corrado, they sent a letter.

"From the Captain... which one..."

Instructions for future action. I thought so, Collard looked through the text, but I looked at Gilba twice when I checked the contents.

"What does it say?

When asked by Reurus, who was worried about the reaction, Collard answered, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"... it says that Jilba can help us build a spiritual church in this town..."

"Do you mind if I use it?

That said, Collard gave Gilba a a smile back.
