Episode 526: Stacked Challenges and Sneak Walks

For once, I also kinda checked last night, but when it's morning and things may be changing, I'll start by checking on the village from the top of the hill.

I know Jillis and the men in the village took turns during the night, but they're still basically just villagers.

Having some experience with hunters doesn't mean that the night is particularly advantageous, and it would be something I should make sure of with my own eyes.

The village is only of such a size that, as the Ribble had heard beforehand, fewer than twenty houses are built at some interval.

The figure of a white object with a fallen orbit walking around between the houses was well seen from the hilltop.

It makes me feel horribly strange that the presence of a village where no one else is a villager, just a bone as a constituent, slowly opens up something vain.

He seemed to see the end of the world, and he seemed to be in a sad dream.

Either way, being immersed in such sentiments doesn't start the conversation.

Let's start by counting the number of Bones Skeletons.

One, two... three, four... five, and.

In a short time, I could certainly see the figure of the five boners in my eyes.

It's just...

"... this isn't just the five bodies. There's a guy with a bow and a spear, one for each other..."

I whine like I'm talking to myself.

This wasn't in the advance information.

Jillis also lay down beside me and stared at the village, nodding with a surprised face when I checked the area I pointed to.

"... Sure, you're here! Why... I didn't have that until yesterday. We've all confirmed that."

"Are you saying there were more yesterday today... You're more likely to leave it alone."

"Well, that's troublesome...... can you do something about it!?

"As far as the boners over there are concerned, you'll be fine if you do what you just decided. Fortunately, those two bodies with bows and spears are bone soldiers Skeleton Soldier. It's a more powerful demon than a normal boner... but don't worry about it that far"

When I was a person, it was the first dialogue I could not say.

Because if there were a few boners, it would only have had the power to think about running away with it.

But now...... I can say I can manage.

Of course, don't be alarmed.

Additionally, I say.

"I'm just a bowman...... think your dangers have increased. As far as possible, I will defeat the bow-held individual first, but it cannot be said to be absolute..."

"Yes...... I understand. Guys, you heard me."

Looking back, Jillis said so to the villagers ready to fight.

Still, bone soldiers were a miscalculation.

Especially the guy with the bow.

Normal bone men only have about rusty swords and daggers, and their skill is low, and the way they fight is monotonous and easy to read.

But the bone soldiers...

More and more beings fight in a way that is close to people's rationality.

He also has some skill in spears and bows, and begins to have command over other bone men. The point is, you're an individual like a party leader.

It would be much stronger to have five boners and two bone soldiers than just ten boners.

It needs to take time.

To a certain extent, if I were alone, I would be able to go in and defeat Jillis at once because I could recover from a fatal injury, but I can't do that in front of the Jillis guys watching, because they're willing to join me...

We need to be very careful......

Either way, I largely understand the enemy's power.

As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be anyone else...

"... So it's time to go? You all do as you're supposed to."

That's how I walked out to take the lead.

The villagers also follow quietly to avoid making footsteps.

The skill around here still seems to be a villager living in the woods.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Enter the village alone.

Jillis and the others are watching my movements from a short distance outside the village.

To release an arrow when a boner strikes.

Well, still, I'm going to try that one first, because it would be preferable to end it without having the Jillis guys join me as much as I can.

I told Jillis and the others a lot, but in the end, that's the best...

Fortunately, there are plenty of hiding places in the village.

The bone men, too, I don't know if that's what the bone soldiers were instructed to do, or if they were voluntary, but they were looking around the village in pieces, and if it worked, it felt like they could all be defeated individually.

In the meantime, I hide in the shadow of the house, waiting for the first boner to approach me.

- Karakara......

And, bones and bones move as they collide, bone-man specific tones approach your ears.

I glanced at him from the corner of the house and from there I could see a boner slowly approaching me.

He doesn't seem to realize anything, and he seems to be able to manage this at the same time as coming in front of him.

Pay attention to the sword that it needs to be knocked down in one blow and should not make too much noise. Because I am most willing to give the sword cutting power.

It's not impossible to give magic the same amount of cutting power, but it's draining heavily, and it's more sensible to be concerned if you're just pursuing a cleavage.

A little closer... a little closer... OK, now.

That's what I thought. I was hiding in the corner of the house, jumping from behind a boner who didn't notice me and went bare.

Then he wields his sword and slices his skull.

I guess it's just the driving force behind the bone man's movements. It holds the demonic stone and pulls it out quickly with the sword.

When he did so, the boner stopped moving like a lie and collapsed in pieces until now when that body had been kept in bond.

That's easy......

It didn't sound as loud.

Unlike a town like Malt, the ground is uneven soil.

It absorbs shocks.

It's just that if you leave your bones here, they'll notice you when the other boners look around...

Magic in the sword, he manipulated the soil to bury the bone man's remains briefly on the ground.

It can be used as a material quite a bit, so I won't bury it very deeply, as you can see later.

I don't need it because I don't need it in particular or because it won't be that much money where I took it, but it would be a building material that I could use to rebuild the village...

You can tell by walking in the village this way, but it stands out that it is so rough on the boners.

There are multiple houses that need to be rebuilt, and no matter how much material there is, it won't be enough.

"... So, shall we go next..."

And I went to the next prey hunt as I hid myself from the bone man again to secure the next building material...
