"--Okay, Lil isn't perfect anymore." That would make it easier for them to fall into the trees. Yuki is... ready to go, but she's still a little unstable. You'll be noticed as soon as you lose your mind. "
"I-It should have been practiced the same way..."
Ku, ku...
"I'm giving up. Lil lives in the woods every day and knows the wild." In that regard, it's only natural to be more qualified than you guys. "
... well, that's right.
Besides, I can't say dexterity in flattery.
Lil, on the other hand, was so dexterous that he didn't think he was a wolf.
It's easy to see the difference in this way.
"However, if you're still on the lookout, you won't be noticed so easily." - If you're going into the woods, be careful. Even today's lords are countless in their ranks and stature. "
"Oh, be very careful. Nnnn, I'll go."
"... I'm coming."
Ku
"Hmm, I'll be waiting for you to return safely." Without forcing, of "
Lefi dropped me off, and Lil and En are leaving.
― ― The destination is deep in the Witchcraft Forest.
To the west of the city, which I've never entered before.
◇◇◇
The sun.
Always hot, all year round summer, in this forest.
I'm used to this climate already... but it's an uncharted area for us from here on out.
― ― The current position is a slight step in the western area of the Witchcraft Forest.
If it's a monster near the border, I've fought several times before... but from here on, it's the realm of the outside world.
In other words, the heart of the Witchcraft Forest.
Today's goal is to get as far as we can get.
With the Dungeon Return Device, you don't have to think about returning. Thank you very much.
"Come on, En, Lil."
"...... nh"
Ku
En had a passionate voice, but Lil sounded unusually nervous.
I'm sure he understands the dangers of this western area better than we do every day in the Witchcraft Forest.
- Then we'll step inside.
After a while, I notice the difference (...).
... really, the magic in the air is thick.
I've been told by Refi from time to time that such things are dull, and I think so myself, but I still know that the magic here is different in intensity.
It's too thick, and you might even have a little difficulty breathing.
... a strong monster would be my favorite environment.
You can see how a human species can create a country far away from a place like this.
Of course, the first reason is that monsters are strong, but this is simply not an environment where it is easy for human species to spend time.
So far, I had no contact with the monster.
The evil eye is emitted in all directions, and the range of four kilometers is constantly checked and the direction of travel is changed accordingly.
Even if I didn't go that far, there were monsters that showed signs of going up in the comparison target, such as the Hades King Corpse Dragon's wreckage.
Of course, some people think he's stronger than that.
Beyond that, the battle was basically a pitfall.
Running away and hiding is the best way to deal with it.
As always, this forest is set to go crazy.
What will happen to me and what will happen to me?
In a small area - no, it's not that small, but because the monsters that are strong in certain areas have been densely packed for hundreds of years, it's been in a state of insect poisoning and cancer.
"... Lil. Northeast, two and a half kilometers away, the Evil Eye was crushed by a quadruple-legged monster." You must be hungry. You're pretty irritated. I don't want to be sold in a fight. Let's get out of here. "
Ku
Roger that, Lil.
I couldn't fight too much, so I avoided most of the opponents like this--but not all of them.
"...... Ku"
"Yeah, I know. We're caught." I still feel like I haven't found out where you are..... "
... do you want to do it?
I'll do it. Now I can do it first.
The opponent we were chasing was a monster that we dodged once, but you thought there was a small fish.
Traces of it are being picked up, and they're getting closer and closer.
However, perhaps if we had been here before, we would have been caught up in battle for a long time.
Thanks to learning how to suppress and deceive the signs, we are still holding our breath.
That said, it would be enemies like this... but now we can form a [Sector] here.
A combat technique you've learned in the Witchcraft Forest to carry battles to your advantage.
- Trap.
Since this is not in my dungeon space, it is impossible to install a dungeon trap, but it is irrelevant if it is a trap by primitive magic.
I don't use it at all when I go out in the woods, but since there are many creatures in the forest who are my equal or stronger than me, in order to bridge the difference in strength, I pull into the trap zone, and when the enemy gets caught, the basic fighting method is ambush.
I don't know how far this method of warfare will go in the West End... but it's a good opportunity.
Let's give it a try here.
Lil and I concentrate our nerves and blend our signs into space to the extreme.
Neither did En.
Actually, En had the same training as us along the way, but she was lightly mastering it.
It seems that this is because she is not a normal creature, but the main body is a sword.
Somehow, magic power, signs, and so on seem to be perceived more objectively than we are, and can be seen from a third-party perspective, so it was quick to learn the sense of the operation.
Isn't my child too good?
And then, as we were ambushing in the trap zone, there was this guy.
Bipedal walk.
It looked like a Tyrannosaurus, and even though my jaw was sharp and it was a big rock, it was going to crush with a single bite.
He's been sniffing around, eager to find us.
We hold back the high tension and wait--that's when the time comes.
Tyrannos stepped into the trap zone.
At that moment, Don, and the ground exploded.
Countless gravels of bullet-like speed were scattered around, and at the same time, dozens of stones were unleashed with return chains, pierced into Tyranno and fixed to the ground.
A bitter roar shaking the space.
In an instant, we charge at the Jurassic Park bastard.
First, Lil arrived before me.
Using his Speed Skill, he bit one of his legs with his fangs.
With one leg stolen, Tyranno breaks down - and I'm the one who's got En in there.
For a flash towards my neck.
It is hard.
It's like a hard skin reminiscent of iron... but if it's en, it can be slashed with iron (...).
Despite an instant of resistance, her blade slashed her head without being blown.
We win.
However, it was the Demon Realm Forest that didn't let me get out of my mind.
It is very likely that the monsters will come by because of the smell of blood, so they will immediately convert the carcasses into DP and then leave the site.
I was checking on Evil Eye after that, and I knew that the monsters were starting to swarm, and there was a mutually opposing eating.
"Fu, I'm scared. But you did it, Lil. If we could just stand around carefully right now, we might be able to fight here somehow."
I could kill monsters at this level if I could take the lead.
If only we could take the lead.
Even the current opponent could be killed so easily because it could be set up well in a trap, but what would have happened if we had fought from the front?
Ku, ga...
Oh, it's still the same. Carefully.
”... nnh. I feel like an uncle of a snake and I'm going to move on”
"That's right, Uncle Snake is a stealth pro." I have to do my apprenticeship. "
If I work harder now, I'll be able to reach that frontier.
After a few hours in the West Area, we were alert to the best of our ability.
― ― It was in the forest that I discovered something that looked like an artifact (...).
