A hive walking in front stops and looks back at this one. Then I close my eyes and say "Tay, Less" and something small and spell-like.
You're the guy I used to talk to before reading.
Nevertheless, I don't even think there's a spell on purpose in [the reading], but is it also increasing concentration?
I don't seem to do it every time.
'That's the treatment center. There's a journey over there.'
As expected, Hibi sent me a [Reading Talk].
I shrink and hide in the shadow of a big building nearby.
Then I stretched my neck all the way and looked in the direction of the treatment center.
There is some distance from the other buildings.
There's probably a manticore over there.
When all the people leave, get close at once and see what the guy inside is.
If I find out it's a demon, I'll smash every one of those treatment centers before they resist.
That's the only way to contain the damage.
The only way to convince the other Litveal tribes is to look at Manticore's body.
After time with extra things in mind, that's all Manticore has time to think about.
I'll settle for you in an instant.
If it's average status, it's better this way.
From the treatment center, an adult was seen leaving carrying a one-legged Litveal child.
I turn a blind eye.
Next to a forest with dangerous demons.
Yeah, I guess I've said that before.
Shouldn't it have been time for everyone to evacuate?
It should have been a stream for Goz to come and let me know......
"Not the Dragon God! The dragon gods are in the village! Master Hibi, why didn't you tell me! This is not how I do it, I want the others now..."
From behind, I hear a squeaky voice.
Turning his neck, there was an old woman with a crooked waist.
"... Now, that's not the time. Stay away from the treatment center and head toward the rally point. Ask others to tell us."
Hibi assumes that if Manticore goes wild, every time he sees a person, he calls for them to stay as far away from the treatment center as possible.
"Something more than the Dragon God! Master Hibi, a witch, makes such a world myth!
Yes, no, I'm here for each of those problems.
"Oh, you know, the Dragon God..."
When Hibi tried to say something back to the old lady, she had a nasty heartbeat.
I turn to the treatment center where I was letting my eyes go.
Three men and women were about to leave the treatment center.
One is Goz the gatekeeper and the other is a Litveal child.
The third was a tall woman with a cloth wrapped around her like a robe.
Trying to hold onto the robe woman, Goz seemed desperate to throw words at that or this.
Definitely, that woman is the example traveler.
I couldn't delude myself.
What are we gonna do? If you don't think fast, it's gonna be a lot of trouble.
The woman's suspended eyes had something somewhat close to Manticore.
The brunette's strong brown hair, which even feels rough, resembles a manticore hyena.
To find out in one shot...... after all, that's the only way.

I guess it's totally clo.
It's Dompisha, isn't it?
I can pull my neck in a panic.
And the MP is barely the biggest. What do you mean?
Am I supposed to have this irrationality when I say I chose the path to max MP pull up?
... Yes, not now. He said he wasn't calm.
The poison hasn't progressed at all either.
Have you almost been treated yet?
So, but what are you gonna do about it? Whenever there are two of them on the side.
Footsteps are gradually moving away.
Maybe he's heading toward the rally point in the flow of the story.
I need to get my hands on you quickly.
Hey, should I pull this place off once?
No, that's not true.
I don't know what a suspicious manticore would do.
Thinking of it as this, one of the three stopped in the footsteps.
Following that, the two footsteps also stop.
Manticore also had [Signal Sensing].
Did you find out about me?
Then there's no more problematic respite.
"Dragon god?
Hibi calls out.
I ignored it and jumped out of the shadows of the building.
"GOOOOOOOOOO!"
Run.
Anyway, I run fastest.
Quicker than Manticore thinks of extra leverage, he busts him.
The traveler looked at me and changed his complexion.
I guess you remember the last time I got bummed and sprayed my tail and ran away.
Manticore waves his arm.
Tear down the cloth that was worn, and the arm of a tough beast appears.
It seems that Manticore solved [the technique of humanization] with only one arm.
"Guuuuu!?
Goz rolled down the ground with beaten momentum and struck this one all over his body.
When it finally stopped, it was bloodstained. He tore his shoulder with his fingernails when he was beaten.
"... Did you, Mr. Traveler?
The child left behind lagged behind and took a distance from the manticore.
"GOOOOOO!"
Wave your arms and wrap up the [sickle].
Manticore holds the child up with human hands and avoids the blade of the wind.
Blood erupted from the plundered shoulder, but shallow.
A blade of wind cut down the tree behind the manticore.
Manticore stares at the fallen tree with his ass and makes his expression look more rude.
Then he grabs the kid's neck he was holding and sticks it out this way like a shield.
Are you threatening to prevent it with this guy if you shoot him next time?
It sucks.
They took hostages in the end.
"Ahhh! Yes, I don't like it... help..."
The kid seems to be holding his neck and talking hard, he said in a sweeping voice.
Manticore stares at me.
Her face had changed slightly.
Her hair was even stronger and her eyes turned to wild animal-specific fierceness.
My white eyes are dyeing yellow and the skin around my eyes is starting to darken.
In the back of his mouth, he had a peek at the sharp teeth unique to the outside world.
"Gebahaaaa!"
Manticore opened her mouth wide to intimidate me and growled.
The child looked too scared to even speak.
Manticore took the child as it was and fled into a nearby building.
Manticore guy, why bother coming to this place from himself...
I can't help you with the hostages, but it still doesn't make sense to go all the way into the trail.
I stopped by the building for now.
Immediately after I thought about what was going on, the wall in the opposite direction collapsed and the manticore popped out.
It was completely uninhabited.
A well-stretched hind leg kicks the rubble and the giant beast dances through the universe.
Land on both forelegs and run straight ahead.
Fucking fast after all.
They know the other side will beat me, and it's full speed.
I thought for a moment about going after him, but the kid thing went past my head.
I figured out why I went all the way into the building once, and the reason for that was late.
Did he leave a child under the rubble to buy time?
"Gwwwwwww!!
As I squeal, I flap my wings wide and release two [sickle] shots on the back of the escaping manticore, slowing it down a little and releasing another shot.
The manticore jumps left and right to avoid.
A blow fired into predictive orbit cut Manticore's back.
"Gevaah!"
Manticore runs screaming but without stalling.
He taps the tip of his tail like a needle ball to the ground and bounces up a lot with that recoil.
He stepped on the fence surrounding the settlement and broke it, fleeing.
As always, only a fast bastard escapes.
Manticore was licking me. It hurts that I couldn't kill him when I first met him.
Looks like we're gonna need to work something out in advance to finish him off.
