In the woods, Estelle was confronted with Rockworm. Rockworm is a giant potato worm just over a meter long.
My body is covered in hard skin like a rock, so I can hardly stand my teeth with Esther's sword.
He looks like a potato bug again, but Rockworm is a carnivore. They don't care if they're human.
He was a very fierce, troublesome demon.
Estelle didn't even think about it, as she got a request from the guild to investigate and went into the woods, but no way Rockworm was breeding.
I just thought to the extent that Silverwolf had grown too much.
My thoughts were sweet.
"... you screwed up"
Defeating Rockworm requires the equivalent of Adventurer Rank D. So when Estelle saw the appearance, she fled at first sight.
Estelle will soon be D-ranked, E-rank. I'm not the one who can't fight and win.
However, it is subject to the condition that if there is one rock worm.
What Estelle saw was a group of rockworms over ten. Where we fought, the winner has no fine dust.
So Estelle escaped as if she were a shepherd.
The choice to flee was the right one.
But you shouldn't have lacked calm while you were on the run.
Estelle, who escaped with her life, fled desperately, but thus lost sight of the way from the way.
The Finris Forest was often visited to fulfill Alliance requests. But today is the first time I've stepped into the back of the forest.
The Finris forest is deep and vast. If you lose sight of the way, there's no guarantee that you'll make it home safely.
Still, Estelle did not despair and tried to escape from the woods relying on her senses and memories.
Scared by the shadows of Rockworm and other demons, day and night, Estelle desperately went outside the woods.
It was the third day since I got lost in the woods.
Estelle discovered a square space that suddenly appeared in the woods.
Organized on a square surface, it was large enough to build four private houses.
At the edge of the space were piles of large trees that would have knocked this place down when it opened.
The trees were all cut to the surface about ten centimetres from the earth.
The cross section is surprisingly smooth. It is a cross section as if it were a sharp blade and cut into pieces.
But it is not something that can break Oki with a blade.
"What is this..."
Who and why cut through the Finris Forest?
What's the point of this space?
(Does the abandonment of Oki mean that we will build something here in the future? But who...)
Estelle was often solidified into an unusual sight.
It was then.
- Baki.
In the woods, a dry sound sounded. Estelle reacts quickly and pulls the sword out. I saw the noise.
There,
"CH......!
There were countless rockworm figures. Rockworm has already set a target for Estelle. Some have entered a combat posture and are lifting their heads. There's no sign you'll miss it.
Estelle, by contrast, patrolled.
Rockworm is relatively dull.
Estelle with "Strengthen Muscle Strength" could get away with it.
But Estelle still didn't know which direction she could get out of the woods if she ran away.
If we keep running, we can get away from Rockworm.
Instead, Estelle could be heading back into the woods again.
- What are we gonna do?
During this slight patrol, Estelle had lost her option to escape.
"-Come on!"
Surrounded by rockworms.
Due to the lack of trees, the opponent moves quickly.
Estelle is immediately in a combat position. Attack the Rockworm and slash it with a counter.
"Ku...... tough!
My hands are paralyzed with billies. It was a response as if he had slashed a stone.
Estelle blushes.
The sword you currently have is a substitute for a few strikes. It is a common price range weapon in Finris' armoury stores.
Still, the sturdiness was first-class, and no matter how hard I hit the demon, it never lacked or bent.
It didn't break when I had to, I was a dependable partner.
But how can you not rely on someone you can't cut before you?
(... No, I'm the one who doesn't rely)
Kensei, do not choose the sword.
What's missing is not a cut. It is my own skill.
(If I were a little stronger...)
Estelle rattled her back teeth at remorse.
Fortunately, the rockworm is dull. I'm confident Estelle won't be so fatally injured if she's thoroughly evasive.
Estelle explores the direction she should escape while thoroughly avoiding.
At the same time, he continued to attempt attacks on Rockworm.
The battle was relatively stable.
But it was only a matter of time, too.
"Nah - cum!?"
Suddenly, Estelle's knee broke hard.
"Strengthen your muscles" continued, so your magic was cut off.
Did you see the magic run out as an opportunity? Rockworm lifted his head toward Estelle in unison.
The tip of his mouth turns up like a ripe chestnut skin.
"Oh, oh..."
No.
I'm going to die here.
My adventurer life ends here.
Oh, my God, it wasn't too bad...
Estelle's hips fell ston before a definite death.
"Help..."
This is deep in the woods.
I just called for help, and it wasn't a situation where someone would come.
But still, Estelle spoke.
"... Tor"
What came to Estelle's mind in her desperate predicament was not the face of her parents, not the face of her friends, but the face of a boy, who somehow annihilated the goblins without difficulty.
That moment.
- We made it.
The wind swept away the lockworm.
○
The moment I found Estelle, who was about to be eaten by a potato worm, the permeation activated the magic with < unchanging >.
Ten shots of "air cutter" were activated and fired at the taro bug.
- Psst!!
The head of the potato worm that was about to be worn on the ester disappeared, as if it had been slapped with a giant hammer.
The shape of the wind blade was sweetened due to the impossibility of multiactivating the magic. The sharpness that was supposed to be there was turned into just an air cannon.
But Estelle's life was saved.
- We made it.
The penetration stood between the ester and the potato worm, relaxing his chest down.
"And?
"Yeah. Estelle, are you okay?
"Ah, oh. But why..."
"It's a little pinched in my ear to see what Estelle's asked for... Uh, well, yeah."
- I'm here because I'm worried.
The words were shoved into the back of his throat by shame.
To delude his own shame, the permeator put up a [demon sword] against the taro worm.
The potato worm that was in the front row is already dead. But the potato worms in the back row were still alive.
If the transmission had activated the "air cutter" correctly, the taro worms in the rear row would have been tailored, but there was no choice.
Permeation is not yet used to witchcraft or combat so much that witchcraft can be handled correctly in an aggressive situation.
The permeation is relieved and slashed by the potato worm.
The potato worm was strongly alert to the sudden appearance of permeability. But the permeable buries the taro worm without even hanging it on his teeth.
"... wow"
When I knocked down all the potato worms, I squeaked like Estelle was relieved behind my back.
"Was this potato worm lurking in the woods too..."
The potato worm was previously the same type of organism as what we saw in the cave.
Was it something that survived a cave crash, or another group?
"I had no idea you would defeat Rockworm so easily. Thor is amazing..."
"Nothing. It's not great. I mean, this is called a rock worm. Demons?"
"These creatures were normal. It's like!
"Oh, yeah."
Utterly, the penetration that I imagined Rockworm was just a bug relieves me of my chest.
(Good. Not a world where giant bugs spread...)
"I couldn't get my hands or feet out of the hardness of the lockworm skin."
"It is. But wouldn't that have knocked you down if only the sword had a good cut?
"Yes, but..."
"Then Estelle means you can almost defeat the Rockworm."
"What's that rationale?"
Estelle chuckled.
Did that laugh cut the thread of tension? Estelle's hips fell ston.
"Estelle, are you okay?
The penetration quickly approached the ester and the water was removed from the. But then Estelle shook her head.
"The water is fine. Just a little tired."
"But Estelle's been wandering in the woods for days, right? Your throat, it's not dry?
"Oh, no problem. I only get enough water and food every time."
"It was. Um, but I don't see any luggage."
"That's right."
Estelle had a meaningful grin and inserted her hand beside the breast plate. When I pulled it out of there, I had a water bag in my hand.
"Oh, that?
"Actually, I have the same as Thor."
"... it was"
"I don't have a lot of luggage to put in."
In her explanation, the permeation finally made a point.
More than ever, Estelle had taken money from the breast plate, such as hemp bags and guild cards, to hide that she had them.
"But you know that, don't you..."
"Oh, yeah?
"'Cause you're obviously even putting something inside that breast plate."
Seeing Estelle tilted her neck properly, Turbo thought, 'Is this what the guard was saying?'
He seems to be dealing with it, and there's a hole in that response.
"He's a bit, there's something dangerous about him"
The guard pretended not to see Estelle even when she was using the Vault.
"What are you laughing at?
"No, anything. Well then Estelle, to Finris...... Huh!?"
Shall we go home? The words stopped in the back of my throat.
From behind the woods, I felt an unpleasant sign. For the signs, the noodles of permeation are chilli.
The permeator immediately raises the [Devil's Sword] and stares at the back of the forest.
(This feeling. Could it be...)
