Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Episode 254: Evil Spirit (2)

Based at the foot of the mountain, a few days early.

A stone-walled tofu house, with a large bath, is built on the river plain, surrounded by a barrier about five metres high. It is a luxurious base where the soil magic techniques cultivated for Yamatano Orochi strategy are fully utilized.

Thanks to this, we can sleep in a building that's safe enough for more than that, even if it's not a fairy square.

In such an environment, preparations for mountain climbing are well under way.

Things are going well, so I took the day off.

"Sora, get it!

And, Ip Shan, it's the bright white frisbee that releases from your hand.

One person and one person chase Frisbee flying at the right speed, at the right height, at the right flight distance, and in perfect condition. It is a lem that softens the white hair, and a veneer that spins the red tail.

"Can-can!"

"Taken."

It was Lem who caught Frisbee at a point about ten meters away.

"You got it good. That's great."

And then I ran back with Beni, and when I gave Frisbee to you Ip Shan, I smiled and stroked the lem.

Hmm, looking at it this way, Ip Shan is quite a good young man. You're the third type to be disappointed when you talk, but you're usually good-looking because you shut up. Aoshi and Heavenly Path are just not flying. And Sakurai, you were pretty high level, too, and you can't help but bury him because of the environment of two years and seven pairs?

"Hey Ip Mountain, let us throw it next time too"

"Fine, but you're not gonna throw it all over your head, are you? There are exquisite throws and subtractions."

He said, "I know."

Herahela laughed, Mr. Langdo received Frisbee,

"Torah!

It felt pretty full force and flew in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

"One, one!

"Well."

Still, Rem and Beni joyfully ran out after Frisbee.

"Hey, it's peaceful"

"Pgug."

I stroke the furrows of the mushroom hookah with a smudge. [M]

On the back of a mushroom that fell asleep in depression, I was also rolling and relaxing, blurring at this peaceful sight.

It is as if you have normally come hiking or camping.

At the next moment, Roylops jumps out of the woods and storms the same dangerous spot, so he keeps a minimum of vigilance with trap and corpse doll surveillance.

There's so much loose air going on that it's going to piss me off that I can't believe I'm distracted by survival, but we're not the raw survivors who have survived in harsh environments. People need rest, peace of mind.

And now is just the right time to relax and rest. Now, just before I tried to climb the mountain.

"We're all close, and I'm at peace."

It seems to be that exhilarating with one messy piece of frisbee I made from the excess bone. Ye Shan, you and Apricot are laughing at Kerakera for what's fun, and Beni is happy to shake his tail so much that he can cut a thousand pieces.

Rem is faceless, so there are no signs of fun, but still, I think it conveys that people's hearts, emotions. So I can honestly laugh and play for you, the presence of you and Apricot is very gratifying.

Absolute obedience to a surgeon is a prerequisite, not for me. I think it makes sense for Lem to grow up because he deals with other people without such shackles.

I don't want Rem to be a ruthless murder machine.

"So let's get along, Kinako."

"Pugh, pugg......"

He is an indescribable groaning kinaco when he whispers to Usa ear.

Anyway, Kinako doesn't seem to like me. After all, he's terrified of the power of the spell that tailored Roylops to a corpse doll.

I don't think Mr. Langdon should feel more dangerous with more direct aggression than that. Maybe there's something about it that instinctively makes me feel horrible.

"Well, get used to it, right? Are we buddies now?

"Pugaga, Pugu"

That's how the holidays went by, so daunting.

And the next day.

"Hmm, I guess this is the limit already"

"Ah, Kotaro, welcome back"

When I woke up patchy, the apricots in purification spoke to me in the iron ore smelting formation as I slept sluggishly.

"How'd it go?

"It didn't work again"

"Got hit"

So Lem, who was sleeping with me, also gets up and rides on his lap like a cat. Nadenade Sarah's silver-haired okapa head, Toddler Girl Rem looks faceless and free of shards of joy...... but she interprets herself as joyful just because she doesn't show up on her face.

There's a limit to reconnaissance.

Unlike dungeons where the path is guaranteed by God's will and magical compass, this is just a natural mountain range. Incorrect route selection is a straight line of distress.

In addition, the natural field means that the difficulty adjustment function in the dungeon does not work either. In addition to that salamander, there is a great chance that there are super dangerous demons lurking that we can't fathom.

Therefore, confirming the climbing route and investigating the demons living in the mountains, I had sent in a "double shadow" from the first day and started climbing the mountains.

At first, I was alone. [M]

Next, take a split and a black skeleton lem that you made appropriately as an escort.

And the third time, on a deer-like alpacas-like herbivore jarja that I turned into a corpse doll instead of a horse.

Three prior reconnaissances are in total annihilation around attempting to plug them into the middle of the mountain all three times.

"Damn, those bald takas..."

It's a bunch of eagle demons that are roping the middle belly of the mountain. From that area, the cut shoreline also becomes more prominent, making it a good location for them to nest there and go hunting for their prey at the foot.

With feathers in rusty reddish brown hues, the big cuckoo is a shiny saw blade, and the eagle-shaped demon that aggressively strikes me, a person, is named 'Akahataka'.

Size is about the same as a normal eagle, but that is a large enough raptor by Earth standards. If such a crowd came and attacked me, I wouldn't be alone.

"But if we all go, what can we do?

"Yeah, I can handle it, or I don't think it'll even be a fight"

If you see me, they will come at me fiercely, but they are born, cautious and timid ecology, as has been observed in the last few days.

They don't aim when the target becomes a certain herd. Even if we have more ourselves.

Always aim only at one or two, detached individuals. Other than that, he actively fishes corpse meat.

I mean, if we all go out, they'll come through without looking.

But when I was the only one on the recon, I said, "Hyah, the duck's here! That's why.

"Only reconnaissance can be obstructed."

It is the type of miscellaneous fish mons that you will surely hate when it is a game.

"So we're gonna have to bump into each other now, huh? You can't be so un-billy."

Apricot is right. You don't have to rush ahead, or take infinite prep time. We have to make a separation somewhere.

"Well, Ip Shan, when you get back, I'll ask for your opinion."

This party is not my dictatorship. I'll listen to everyone and decide on a course of action.

Leaf Mountain back from fishing at dusk with a wack called

"Come on, let's go, mountain climbing!

Since the mountain crossing was passed by a majority in favor, we finally challenge the mountain standing in front of us.

Reconnaissance is the only thing that has ended in failure because of Akahagetaka, but you're all set.

"Um, this load, that's great. If I were to buy a car, I'd definitely be big."

Satisfied, I bash the neck of a roylops with a creepy red line.

Rather than being used for combat, this Roylops became a corpse doll in anticipation of his role as a waste beast for loading large quantities of supplies.

Such a big mountain, I don't have a wack to get through in a very day. It will take a few days to climb the mountain, which means we only need supplies for those days. Until now, it was flat ground, so I was able to set up a base and go hunting and gathering around it.

But here, on top of the likely dangerous monsters, including salamanders, cliffy terrain everywhere is dangerous just to move around. Once you start climbing, you don't want the kind of local replenishment you've always had.

Furthermore, near the top of the mountain, the snow is thin but falling, and the cold is not hard to imagine. I also need cold clothes for everyone and warm bedding to sleep without freezing to death.

I've seen as many climbers on Earth as I've seen documentary dramas. Their appearance is that they carry a large amount of luggage and manage to keep walking, etc.

Climbing on Earth is still enough, but in cross-world climbing, where fighting monsters is also envisaged, we are not all going to be waxing with such big baggage.

In addition to the baggage even though it is strained, one's body is very inadequate to carry the necessary supplies for a few days, including spares. So it is the turn of a large car like Roylops.

"Are you okay with letting me have this?

"The corpse doll is working with magic, so it's okay because there's no physical fatigue. And Roylops is a monster that lives in this mountainous area, so it's pretty climbing."

Because I know the specs properly.

And that's not just Roylops.

"How's Jarja riding?

"I'm still a little bit used to horseback riding on boulders."

"I wonder if Alpha would have been better."

"Well, don't be extravagant."

So it's good enough to ride and walk.

Grass-fed beast Jarja will surely be less timid and suitable for riding beasts than horses, but there will be no more problems around it if he puts it on a corpse doll. I can even make you walk with care so that you don't shake your back too much.

Even when it comes to climbing, it's not a wack that keeps climbing steep gradients all the time. They walk quite a distance just from the foot. Then you can take the ride.

Especially over this mountain is dangerous. It is important to move forward quickly, and it is of great significance to reduce fatigue in person. I'm not kidding you about being attacked when you keep walking down tight mountain roads, Zeezy.

So I prepared Jarja as a horseman with no danger to capture, for the number of people.

Creating a saddle for as many as three horsemen of roylops and jarja on a boulder, and gear for loading luggage, was a good amount. Almost all of the demon skin I hunted around and the iron I purified from Large Skeleton's sword.

But seeing the climbers start walking side by side like this, it's worth the effort.

"Something's quiet. Hike to Hutu, if you want."

I left Kawahara's stronghold for an hour. There are no demonic raids in particular, and things are going well.

It is no longer as dense as a forest, and if you look around what has become a forest, the shadows of birds and small animals just quickly cross your horizons.

Ye Shan, like you said, I also feel like hiking in a long, idle atmosphere.

"But at times like this, it feels like"

"Wakaru."

I don't have a very good feeling about it, and it goes with the apricots.

And should I say, "Promise"?

It was when the great rock swept through the woods onto a steep slope.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Big shadows loom from the front with trembling majesty rising from the bottom of his belly. That, too, two.

"Oh no, it's Grimgore!

A silhouette of a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur that is two times smaller than the Thundertyrano but still overwhelmingly bigger than the Raptor. Wearing a gray, rocky crust that blends into the surrounding rock, the horned head opens a large agate and emits a growl.

Grimgore is a monster I've seen several times in the dungeon as well.

Medium-sized, fierce, agile, and most importantly, herded. He's a pretty dangerous guy. It's not commensurate with the risk of crusading, so I've never always knocked it down through.

But you can't avoid a fight this time.

Our discovery was delayed because the Grimgore crust worked as a protective color, and we noticed this one first. They move faster, too. Just running straight away will catch up with you at your leisure.

I just have to fight...... and everyone thinks and nails me ready for two grimgores approaching directly from the front.

"They're coming from behind!

I noticed that, though, just a moment early.

Grimgore is a herd. Basically a trisomy configuration. It's strange that it's just the two of us.

When I turned around screaming, there was a third body appearing as I kicked down a thin tree with a vacuum from the rear.

GUOOOOOOOOO!

"Yay, he's the one who pinched you. This!?

"Kotaro, aim from the front or the back!

There is no respite to worry about.

My distance, the speed at which Grimgore progresses. The only way an apricot can be stopped by a first blow is by any one of them.

The avant-garde is Lem, who has already transformed into a black knight, and Kinako, who is a little freaked out. I don't think the two of us can stop the two Grimgores. Well, the whole thing is the limit.

But if the guy behind you comes straight in, we're gonna have to shield Royloips.

If Grimgore eats you up, Roylops will fall on the boulder in no time. But it's a corpse doll. You can make it again.

Meanwhile, if Kinako falls, that's it. Rem, the young girl who is the main body of the shadow doll, is also not sure what happens when she gets hurt.

Threats and safety, considered overall, scrape one of the two bodies in the front first, and the one in the back endures at the expense of roylops. This is the best response ---

"Apricot, shoot the guy in the back!

"Let's go, 'Lava Long Spear (Terra Fortis Sagitta)'!

Doon, I turn my right hand and say, delivering a backward firing sound to my ear.

"Gather voiceless voices and reflect the appearance of clarity in the dark night. Crazy shack, the end of tragedy, the end of nothingness. Those who dwell in a dark bottomless marsh. Repentance, I can't change it ------"

What held my decision back was the new spell given to me by Master Ruinhilde during this time.

It's not the same as when I was supposed to use it, but it should work even at times like this.

The cursed hexa, which was stretched out and in his right hand, amplifies the effect of the spell while glowing the eyes of the carved six-mangle star. Target, lock on.

Eat this. This is my new spell.

"----" Evil Spirit Possessed" "

"Evil Spirit Possessed": Everywhere, a common being. Weak when it comes to will, far from hatred and madness. But there they are. Overlapping, drifting, still seeking vessels.

Close the open palm.

Nothing. Just a palm to grasp the sky, but I felt it for sure.

All right, success. The evil spirits, they did 'come in'.

Gavo, ooh, ooh!

A tall voice full of pain rises from Grimgore, unlike the cry that preceded the prey.

I was after the guy on the right. It doesn't make any difference how you peel your fangs out and open your big mouth, but its head looks thin and black.

Does this look clearer to you?

Anyway, Grimgore changes possessed by evil spirits soon appear.

"Whoa! What, are you breaking up?

Suddenly, the grimgore on the right raised its ambition and bit the other side's neck muscle as it walked right next door.

In less than ten meters, we'll be attacked by the avant-garde of Rem and Kinaco, and so on.

Ye Shan, as you screamed, would just look like he suddenly broke up with you.

"Ye Yama-san, join me in a concentrated attack on the guy behind you!

"Ooh!

I can't keep up with the sudden unfolding, Ip Shan like that, but in response to my call, I grabbed the 'Red Lance' and flipped it.

"Come on, I hit you, Kotaro!

Boulders are apricots. He was hitting the 'Lava Long Spear (Terra Fortis sagitta)' on Grimgore, which approached from right behind.

The steeple is the one off, but it seems to have hit me to get my belly decided big, and the crust of the rock is shattered, forcing a lot of bleeding.

I guess the shock and scratch I ate caused me to fall in on the spot.

Though I can feel so much impatience that I'm likely to get up soon, even there, Roylops was stepping on my feet and stopping me from acting. This quick assist isn't auto, it would be Rem's decision.

"I'm gonna stab Todome all at once --" Poison ""

"Let's go, Fire!

"Uh, in" Stone Arrow (Terra Sagitta) "for now"

My poison and Ip Mountain your flames, plus the apricot bullet, will kill you into a large, choosy wound, causing fatal injuries to Grimgore.

But the life force of boulders. Gww, groaning... but I don't have enough power to stand up anymore. Just let Roylops step on it and you'll be out of breath soon.

"One more thing!

"Kotaro, which way to go!

"In those who are bitten!

"Evil Spirit Possession" is a spell that possesses evil spirits in subjects as the name suggests.

Hard work interpreting the flavored text you are familiar with, the evil spirits here say, "Gloat or die!" and he's not powerful enough to suddenly curse a living human being to death, he's probably a constant drifting around the area like a spirit. Evil spirits, but presence is very thin and powerless, something like that?

So, I collect those at once, and I tap them into their heads. The way I activated it, it works like that.

And by condensing thin evil spirits that you wouldn't otherwise be able to feel, you turn them into intense wills and drive the Tori possessed opponent crazy.

Yes, if you are possessed by evil spirits, you will storm around without distinction between enemy allies.

So Grimgore, who ate my 'evil spirit possession', started attacking me for now because my neighbors are closer, bigger, and more prominent than we are in front of him.

The point of this spell is that if you use it well, you can drive a whole host of enemies crazy and make them argue with each other.

"There it is----" Lava Long Spear (Terra Fortis Sagitta)"!

Apricot's unleashed advanced attack magic is a clean hit on Grimgore. Did you pierce your torso and smash it to your heart well? Quickly stopped moving.

Gogaaaaaaaaaaaa!

"Oh, hey Peach River, we still have one more! I mean, he feels so bad!?

"Oh, is that the evil spirit's attention to him?

"If you're swallowing it. Huh!

With the death of his attacking companion, Grimgore, the one possessed by the Evil Spirit, sets his aim for us as his next prey.

The unfortunate thing about "Bad Spirit Possession" is that I'm not a free manipulator. Only that they can drive you crazy enough to storm around without knowing your enemies or allies.

If I let it go, this one will attack me normally.

"Guys, step back"

I put "Poison" in the "Fool's Wand" and left it in Jarja's saddle, and took out Cantera.

Let the magic flow, in the middle of the day, but Cantera releases a definite white glow.

"Eat, Virgin's glow, evil spirit disperse!

Gyo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

And, screaming, Grimgore rushed back to his heels and fled with all his might across the rock.

"I just want to thank you for making this cantera, cherry blossoms"

Evil spirits don't seem to like light attributes. Even the sheer light, which does not do any damage to the flesh, escapes desperately.

So just illuminate the glowing cantera by this Light Spirit (Lux Elemental), and it's wacky that the effect is outstanding.

That Grimgore who escaped would return wild with evil spirits scattered within it.

Well, it was a totally unexpected raid... but I've got two fresh bodies from Grimgore, which I think I got with this worn pear. On the balance of payments, a big plus. It's twisted, here it is.
