Episode 72: Bronze Adventurer Lent and In the Swamp

Not to mention a place where people rarely like to come, there are places where people are, to some extent, better equipped to let in than a large number of plants and creatures that only live here.

For example, a bridge may be crossed if a large swamp exists as a severance, although it wants to cross over to the other shore because it is a swamp zone.

Well, if you take it for granted, it's natural.

Anyway, there are no people like me who are completely invalid about poison.

Bridges will be needed more than just the lack of anyone wanting to swim and cross the marshes stained with toxic colors.

Even I don't want to get soaked if I don't have to.

I mean, if there's a bridge, we use it normally.

However, if there is one problem.

- Gishigishi.

And will you hear a sound you don't really want to hear every step you take?

Bridge materials vary by location, but most of them are made of wood.

Saying it's easy to make would be the biggest reason for that material to be chosen, but it would be difficult to bring metal to this point and make it a bridge in the first place.

I can't do that without hiring a bunch of adventurers and taking quite a long time.

Inevitably, there will be many wooden bridges made of soggy sauce.

For once, the trees are growing all over them, and the plants are alive and well in places full of poisonous marshes like this.

Even if I put it as a bridge on the swamp, it bears much better than using a normal tree.

But even so, the mindset is wooden.

Besides, it's not meant to be clueless, but it's just something simple to make.

Degradation proceeds at a good rate, and eventually is swallowed up by the swamp.

The bridge I'm crossing now, in exactly that situation...

- Baki!

And when it sounded, I was somewhat prepared, too.

No, I wasn't ready, so I ran in a hurry.

That would have been the wrong choice if you thought calmly.

I put a huge strain on the bridge and stepped through the thin floorboards.

In the first place, as a corpse ghost, Shiki has gained physical abilities far from humans.

I can also say that it would have been visible if we had stepped through it with all our efforts on our feet.

I mean, my leg fitted beautifully into the wooden bridge floorboard, and all I could see was that the bridge seemed to sink brilliantly from the center, bent into a curved letter.

What's more, the way Adele walks off my shoulder, hurries across a sinking bridge, and reaches across the shore.

- You betrayed me.

I thought so, but, well, that resistance to black rat poison is not yet apparent.

If I sink into a poisonous swamp or something, unlike me, there might be something wrong, and I decided to forgive it.

That's how I sank with the bridge into the water and the swamp, but my breath wasn't painful the whole time, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Immortal (undead), so you don't have to breathe.

I'm breathing once I'm on the ground...

Anyway, it's suspicious not to breathe.

Well, it's a habit when you were human, and you don't have to be conscious to breathe normally.

However, I feel the convenience of this body once again to say that there is nothing particularly wrong with getting into the swamp.

I even get the feeling that if I just close my eyes to the creeps in my appearance, I'll be fine with this for the rest of my life.

I can't seem to get married or anything, but I have a dream of being a divine silver (Mithrill) adventurer before I do.

It's something that I didn't originally feel like I could or wouldn't do, so I wouldn't mind.

Around thinking about it a bit when this is the case, maybe I don't want to give up at the bottom of my mind.

Inside the poisonous marshes in Talask Marshes, it seems as if the creature is unable to live.

Suffice it to say that if normal creatures were immersed, their skin would immediately stain purple and five minutes later they would be desperate.

But there seemed to be a creature breathing firmly in this swamp where I fell.

It's a very beautiful sight...... but I don't think so.

A fish-like object that seems to be as long as a person's back is approaching me with a big mouth open, so that would be a natural story.

And I'm not alone.

There are nearly ten of them.

I wouldn't die if I was eaten by that, and I don't think it's eaten by my body in the first place, so maybe if I held up for a while, I'd leave, but my feeling as someone still left to some extent by me was screaming that it was an excuse to be eaten by something like that.

I pull my sword out of the sheath of my hips and set it up with the imminent big fish.

Fortunately, it's sunk off and has feet on the ground.

It seemed like we could fight.

Since one foot is caught on the wooden bridge, it can also be fixed so that it does not rise.

They can't swim around endlessly and cut it off with bulimia, but it seems easier to crush it while ambushing it here.

In fact, for the big fish that went in shortly afterwards, he could have dropped his neck and knocked him down with a sword blow.

The sword feels quite heavy because it is in the water, but there is no problem with the sharpness.

Of course, it falls far more than it does when you're swinging on the ground, but about the fish's neck can be managed with a more attentive force move.

However, they were still tough to deal with when they could come together in four or five big fish at a time.

I didn't want to pay attention in all directions because I was fighting with my body fixed in the first place.

Besides, the mobility in the water is also out of step.

The other side has a body that specializes for it, so naturally, but I thought at that moment I should have thought about it a little more, even though I had other things to do.

But it doesn't seem to matter to the big fish, such as my reflections, and each of them has bit a part of my body.

As for the big fish that came from the front three sides, I managed it by putting it together as a horizontal giraffe.

However, there was nothing to be done about the two coming from behind by the boulder, he was bitten on the leg, and he was to be pulled around in the water as he was.

I tried rambling and shaking my sword to get it off somehow, but it doesn't work out right now.

I didn't even think I'd take a break... but I felt so critical that if I didn't take it off quickly, I could take my legs off.

I don't think it's a good idea to be too sturdy in this immortal (undead) body because you don't worry so much about your life because of the trust you have in your own strength.

This body is taking the sense of crisis away from me that I don't feel like dying trying to get my neck splashed, and probably right with it.

That's not good... I felt strongly that if I didn't change this, this time I decided to make a serious rampage to shake it off.

Stop strengthening with Qi and put Holy Qi into your body.

Because this one has a higher enhancement rate.

The Magic Fusion technique has an even higher enhancement rate, but I'm still afraid to say this is a blade sword, or use it in this kind of earthen field because I don't have enough training.

If not, I wouldn't even say I'd use it for a pinch.

Reinforcement by Holy Qi is still stronger than that by Qi, making it considerably easier to behave in the water.

Your legs will also become powerful, and you will force yourself to pull your feet out of the mouth of a big fish.

Then it came off about one leg, but it wouldn't even try to let me go about the other.

You have such good feet like chicken gallows?

I don't think so, but I live in such a terrible environment.

Perhaps once there was something like an instinct to not let go of the food that I had spoken of.

But I have trouble with that.

I'm not going to rot at the bottom of this poisonous swamp.

Fortunately, thanks to the freedom of one leg, the orientation of the body can be freely changed for the price.

When I twist my body and turn to the big fish, I wave up my sword.

I can cut it off now without a problem.

The moment I thought so, they also guessed something about the big fish.

He suddenly increased his swimming speed, started to rise, and threw me out of the water, keeping the momentum intact.

"... Guuuuuuuu!

As it were, I was about to cross into the ground across the shore, with a pitiful voice coming from my mouth.

Soggy, puffy and dripping water.

The robe still seems to be high performance and is already dry even though it was soaked in all that water.

Wasn't it wet from the start?

I don't get it......

Then, looking around for a moment, he caught sight of the family who had left me.

"... you... what, that?

That's what I asked because the black mouse Adele had some strange deformity in her face.

Catch him, force him to open his mouth, and he'll see a mountain on his cheek and a nut figure in it.

In other words, leaving the Lord alone, I was securing food as a preference.

Maybe this guy depends less on blood than I do.

Nevertheless...... I don't know.

You don't have loyalty.

Is this what all the family members of the vampire Vampire are?

I wanted to ask someone, I thought it was today.
