"Grrrr!!"

As soon as I entered the forest, a goblin jumped out, hiding in the bushes.

There were seven of them. Five of them were attacked with just a wooden stick for recreational purposes, and two of them were aiming at them with bows and arrows.

Beastlike monsters dominated the forest near Dayton Village.Therefore, it is also a monster of the beast system that rules the forest, and it is an uncomfortable place for the goblins who have moved to the forest, and they must secretly hunt on the outer edge of the forest.

An ambush hidden in the bushes.

But by the time I realized it, the ambush had failed.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time for this today."

The corpse of a goblin rolls with its neck and torso separated.

Melissa's magic knocked down the goblin who stood bows and arrows at a distance.

"At least you can help me."

Lift the corpse of the Rolling Goblin and throw it in the opposite direction.

Goblins can't eat meat when they take it home, and they don't have parts to equip them with.Sometimes I have strong gear that I don't know where the evolutionary goblins came from, but for adventurers who can defeat such a goblin, the gear of the evolutionary goblins doesn't seem attractive either.

Throw all goblins.

The forest is bright red and full of the smell of blood.

"Let's go."

Walk in a different direction than the direction where the goblin was thrown.

From the distance, I looked for signs of the monsters of the wolf and the monkey that were caught by the smell, devouring the goblin.

Forest Wolf.

A monster that excels at hunting in the forest, it needs to watch out for ambushes as it moves deeper into the forest.

Forest Glacce.

He uses the trees in the forest to fly around and ambush adventurers as they move through the forest.They are equipped with the art of quietly moving between trees, and if they cannot be intercepted, they will be seriously injured.

As the adventurer travels through the forest, he must always be alert to monsters attacking.

“I'm sorry, but I don't have time for the miscellaneous fish.”

Considering the petrified people, an urgent response is required.

Then, as I ran through the forest, I saw that the color that had been green had suddenly turned gray in the distance.

"That's where you saw it."

Yeah.

Noel affirms.

I invaded my consciousness from the place where it was at the entrance of the forest, and I moved in the direction I had heard from the Knights beforehand.

Thanks to the Goblin's blood, we were able to get to where we wanted to go without any monster raids.

"It's not just goblins. I'm afraid of our strength."

Beast monsters often formed hordes with powerful people at their apex.

That's why I'm good at detecting powerful people, and I understand that if they attack us from afar, they'll kill us instantly.

I didn't try to mimic a bypass raid.

"But...."

Throw the stone that was falling at your feet towards the back.

Then, after flying about 20 meters, the stone that had a brownish colour with soil on it instantly turned gray.

Looks like the guy up ahead isn't afraid.

I tried throwing rocks, but I was able to prevent a petrifying attack.

You know what I mean.

A depressing forest.

Some things didn't look good, so I didn't know what was going on with Aira.

"It was an attack. Somehow."

When Noel was petrified, it was only after everyone had lifted [Labyrinth Matching], so I couldn't know what kind of attack they were taking.

However, I was the only one who could sense the impact of the [Shrine Maiden] as the [Lord].

Noel was struck by a pivotal attack and lost his memory the moment he was struck by a petrified shock.That's why I'm the only one who knows.

The enemy is going to use their power to petrify it.

Fly two magical Stone Bullets in the air.

After a while, it was petrified and fell to the ground, and another stone was immediately petrified.

Two petrified stones roll onto the ground.

If you try to create the same stone with magic again before being petrified, the stone before being petrified will be cracked.

The sturdiness was increased by the petrification.

"I think you're already on the other side of the territory."

Aira and Noelle watch their surroundings and move their necks around.

Aira, with the lowest resistance, was quickly petrified, and Noel was wary of enemies for fear of being petrified once.

"Don't worry, we're not close."

We're moving because the attack failed.

"How do you know?"

Sylvia didn't know the exact location either.

Ira's doubts are valid.

"The enemy was born with an instinct to hide."

It tended to be common with weak beastlike monsters.

The world of monsters is also weak and strong. That's why weak monsters hide from the powerful when they are born, and wait to get stronger until they can prey on the strong.

And the monster that was petrifying people was a monster with power.

However, I am not familiar with how to conceal the power that has grown stronger.

You barely encountered any monsters until you got here.

"Yeah, but that's because you threw a goblin."

"There's no way many monsters in the woods could be caught like that."

In the first place, monsters like Forest Wolf were deep in the forest.No one without strength, like a junior adventurer, was a monster in the entrance to the forest.

I was at the entrance of the forest for a reason.

It must have been a monster that originally used the petrified area as a turf, but now that a dangerous monster has appeared, it has escaped.

In other words, only monsters with petrifying abilities were ahead.

I waved at my growing strength and let go of the prey that I was going to prey on from my territory.

"I wish the enemy didn't attack humans and prey on monsters... no, it's not."

What's the matter?

Ignoring Sylvia, I picked up the bone that had fallen at my feet.

Bones?

No, that's not true.

Noelle didn't seem to know, but Melissa seized her identity from the magic contained in the visible bone.

"It's the finger of a petrified monster."I can't identify it, but it's a four-legged walking beast. ”

They are so thick and tough that they look like human bones.

I have been trained by using it intensely from time to time.

At first, she would have been able to endure just by preying on the monsters that escaped late.

But the adventurer got lost there.

A monster that uses its skill reflexively against enemies entering its territory knows the flavor it gets from humans.

It was sweet enough to stop the monster from predating.

To know such a taste is equivalent to the taste of monsters and so on.

"They're still waiting to know we're getting closer."

Are you sure you're okay?

"It's okay. Since I lost to Zeon, I've been thinking about how efficient it is to use my skills."I'm not going to lose to a monster like that. "
