Soul Eater of the Rebellion

"Withdrawal"

Knowing the possibility of a basilisk, Pelli made the decision to withdraw without hesitation.

Fearless It's not the same as recruiting me and making a laugh.

Indeed, I was impressed by what the group commander was like.

"Our goal is to catch the demon. It's out of contract to defend the Basilisk."

"Chairman. How do you run away?"

"Sorry, you're going straight ahead to Ishka."

Pery said so seriously and looked at my face.

"Sora. You can't say we'll send you all, but would you please bring some young people?"

"I don't mind. You were hired as a carrier for going and returning. Why don't you go back and forth and send everyone?"

"No, it takes a long time to go back and forth, and the burden on the side that remains in the forest is huge. That's it. "

"OK"

Compensation "Okay, you guys, get ready in a hurry! Other than equipment, only a minimum of water and food! Squeeze your greed and put your heavy luggage, and leave the guy who hops on the way! Fyodor's husband is a person who understands the story, he will be firm in emergency situations, and on the contrary, he may be rewarded for discovering the basilisk! "

Despite being backed by the leader's words, Grim Reaper's Scythe quickly begins preparing to retreat.

As a result of this quick decision, we were able to begin retreating before the basilisk appeared.

Remedy Most of the supplies they carry have been discarded, but they will not be fatal. As well as food, there are many herbs and so on, so let's collect them later.

Like the remains of the deceased, any material discarded during the adventure is the one of the person who picked it up-well, well, it'll be returned to the Grim Reaper. In that case, if you receive about 10% as a thank you will not be penalized.

While thinking of such a thing, it soars over the Wyvern and soars into the sky.

Three humans are stuck on the back. Two young members and one deputy director. By the way, the Deputy Director is a young man who explained to me about rot and basilisk.

Perry prioritized the return of the deputy chief because he needed to return early and provide detailed explanations to his employer, Fyodor.

The emergence of a basilisk has more than just the appearance of a mighty monster.

If the Titis forest is swallowed by the sea, the bounty of the forest will disappear. Materials for medicinal herbs, wood, and demons. The product that supports Ishka's economy is lost all at once, a major blow.

And the beast whose house is swallowed by the rotten sea can never starve and starve.

In the worst case, it will hit Ishka in large numbers. A guy called Stampede.

In addition, there is a more serious problem.

The Kale River, sourced from the Titis Forest, is the backbone of Ishka's domestic water and water resources. What happens if this is poisoned?

The current situation is a serious crisis of Ishka's survival.

Weir It is not only Ishka. The forests of Titis and the beasts of Mount Skim, which the city of Ishka had so far held, overflowed all over the Kingdom of Canary as if they had been cut, and it was inevitable that the whole kingdom would be in chaos.

Perhaps because he knew that, Pery would have decided to return his trusted deputy first.

If so, I have to respond to that trust.

Indigo The flying style has become quite diverse these days, and vertical takeoff and landing is also possible.

Apparently, instead of simply flying with the wings alone, they apply magical power to support and float the body-yes, the progress made by efforts is remarkable. After all, this child was a Wyvern that I could do.

Luna Maria and Seal say it's time to give them a name, but they don't come up with a name that comes to mind.

Earlier, when I broke down Indigo and called it Daigo, I was staring at my terrible sad eyes. If he kept calling him Daigo, he might have mastered the ultimate secret.

Since then, I haven't even come up with a name like this, and recently I've started thinking that Indigo Wyvern should be fine.

I flew high in the air while thinking about such a thing, and overlooking the forest under my eyes.

As you can see, no obvious anomalies can be felt-no, in the north, parts of the forest have turned dark. Is that corner rot?

If you think calmly, it is only speculation that the monster that caused the rotting sea is a basilisk. No one has actually seen the Basilisk.

I also wanted to confirm the humid sea from above in order to make the report more credible.

But I hold back that urge.

Wyvern's mobility has been greatly reduced, with four people riding on saddles, which are originally limited to one-seater and at most two-seater.

I didn't want to come into contact with a monster that could be attacked in the air in this state-Basilisk spits a breath of poison.

Wyvern begins to flutter toward Ishka, as directed by me.

I felt a sneering roar from behind as if we were chasing us.

◆◆◆

Returning to Ishka with his deputy chiefs, I returned to the Titis Forest again without a break. Deputy Director and Fyodor were begging to help the rest of the Reaper's Scythe.

I have no choice.

However, low altitude flight is not possible as there is a risk of basilisk. It is necessary to maintain a certain altitude, but it is difficult to find out what is on the ground.

The sea of trees, which is dense enough to cover the entire field of view, is spreading. No matter how closely you looked, it was impossible to find the Grim Reaper's scythe, which would be running under the trees.

To put it simply, they should be somewhere on the straight line between the base in the forest and the city of Ishka.

But it's in a forest with no way. It is not easy to go straight to your destination.

In that case, it would be a good idea to follow the stream as I did before and just go downstream.

However, the stream does not flow straight toward Ishka. Depending on the location, it may be a detour.

If you really have a basilisk, and you're chasing Death's Scythe, that detour can be fatal.

"... I can't help thinking about it."

Kei I drove on Wyvern to a base in the forest. From there, we are on the ground and go through the woods to Ishka. Running at full throttle will eventually catch up with someone.

"You fly above. I'll call you when you find someone."

Wyvern looked at me for a moment following my command from the saddle.

However, he may have noticed that he is in a hurry, and immediately flutters greatly and flies to the sky.

I saw it off and started searching immediately.

Apparently, the supplies at the base have not been defaced, and there is no sign of the surrounding vegetation being rotten. There is no basilisk here.

A little relief to that fact. If this place were to be devastated, the search ahead would be sinister.

If this is safe, the possibility that "Scythe of the Grim Reaper" is safe will increase. I thought like that.

-Until you start searching and find the corpse in less than a few minutes.

It lay down less than five minutes after leaving the base.

Half of the face has melted and the contents are exposed.

At first I thought it was eaten, but it was different.

The red-black liquid that melts the skull of the corpse, while still making strange sounds, is probably a poisonous liquid. This person must have died after being hit with venom on his face.

On the other hand, the wide open eyes seemed as if swirling, pain and despair were still swirling.

I stopped on the verge of trying to close my eyes.

Legend has it that Basilisk's poison killed an enemy knight through a spear that attacked him.

It is not at a level that it is okay without direct contact.

I think it's probably okay to use Kei, but this isn't a betting scene.

After bowing to the dead, I turned back and stepped into the woods.

Poisonous Demon Beast I don't know if it's a basilisk, but it's definitely a very powerful wanderer.

I didn't stop feeling bad.
