The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today
Episode 8: Vengeance Skeleton * 3
When we went north of the city wall, the roughness was over.
"Absolutely not! Don't lick our Knights of the Forest!
"Yes! Don't let the soldiers of our walls lick you!
... it seems that the soldiers who are the gatekeepers of the Wall have settled down by calling them the "Corps of Walls". Oh, the Wall Corps. The Wall Corps.... Maybe we should put a wall crest or something in the gear we gave them.
"Who attacked them?
"Whoa, Ed! Mr. Mersen, you're late! Then we've already crushed them!
As Laocles approached them, one of the knights smiled and answered. Reliable.
"They were the same as last time. He's like a black pigeon. As they tried to break through the gate, they shielded it, and the army of walls threw a bow from the wall to fight back.... there was Master Fai around. The Red Dragon spits out the flames and wipes them out!
Ah, if you look closely, there's also Faye. Looks like he just happened to be here. Nice timing.
"We shoot from the sky in Pegasus. Maybe I'm running out of arrows."
Okay, let's get the arrows out of here. Yeah. Just so you don't forget...
"... so, did you escape again?
Laocles and Mersen said that and peeked outside the gate for a moment....
Hmm? You're right!
There was a man rolling around with a rope.
"You got him alive! Big deal!
"Yes, the others managed to escape, but we only got him! Please reward me with the fairy confectionery cake!
Ah, fairy cakes are also popular with knights. I see. I'll buy it later and bring it in.... somehow, there was an image that the gypsum statues hated sweets... but when I thought about it carefully, I thought Laocles was eating cake normally. I know that my mouth is a little loose while eating.
"All right, all right. Sure, this is a reward! So, let's get this guy to give us information right away...."
When Marsen laughed, he approached the circle of people and quickly decided to start the investigation. The knights circled around and woke up the wrapped around him...
It was then.
There was a feeling of being beaten up. At the same time, the pain runs sharply inside me.
"... corn? Hey, what's up?
I can feel the sound of Laocles calling me from afar. Because right now, my consciousness is far away.
The feeling of being beaten continues. Every time I feel painful, I do everything I can to protect where I'm being beaten... but I have to tell you.
"... south, side"
If I manage to squeeze out my voice, Laocles, Faye, the knights of the forest and the soldiers of the wall will all hear me.
"The boundary is about to be broken... There's something..."
Then I saw Fai and Laocles and the knights of the forest fly away.
Even now, she continues to be beaten constantly. Looks like someone's trying to drill a hole in a part of me.
I can see that "someone". No, you see that? I can't see, but you know what? That's what I think.
... the black beam is colliding with me. [M] I'm going to melt it, drill a hole, puncture it, and come inside. I know that, so all I can do is round and shrink and harden myself.
So, are you all right, Mr. Corgo?
"What's the matter? You look pale. Wow, it's so cold! Hold on!
The soldiers on the wall are worried, and they put a cloak on me. [M] I try to protect myself from an attack aimed at my body, which is not here, by being round and shrinking and wrapped tightly in a cloak, but now that I am round here, the attack on the boundary will not stop.
... but endure it, endure it, endure it, get used to the pain... your body in your cape is getting a little warmer, and then you're a little more conscious.
You can feel a lot because it's settled down. Ground in front of you. Soft growing grass. Those smells. The voices of worried soldiers.
Yeah, it's okay. It's calming down.... it's still shaking like a blow to the head, or something. But it's okay. Maybe this isn't pain. That's why I don't have time for pain.
"Thank you! It's okay! I'm coming!
I was still a little fluffy, but I was caught by the phoenix and flew into the woods immediately. We're heading towards the ruins that keep the forest boundaries intact.
... I am the spirit of this forest. We need to protect this forest, and this forest town, from the monster herd.
Arriving at the ruins, there were visitors.
Senpai, nice to meet you.
In response to my call, the giant bear tsugumi replied as usual with a jingle. [M] It's always a little hateful bird, but today it's a bit reliable.
"... did you try to turn me into a spirit for this day?
Running through the ruins and asking, the bird leans ambiguously in reply. Running.... dexterity, but not at all!
I ran to the back of the ruins thinking, "That's enough."
The magic of maintaining the bond has caused some breakdown, but it has not been devastated. It's still in repair. I'm glad I kept it under constant maintenance!
"How dare you hit me!
Since I am the spirit of the forest, I will firmly reconstruct the boundary. I don't want to be beaten up!
First, reinforce the boundary. Re-knit the holes and stiffen them with plenty of magic.... and just as it was passing through the boundary, the black cymbal was slit like a guillotine.
In addition, the painting depicts other objects that hit the boundary from the outside of the boundary. I'm me, but I'm in the woods, and I'm part of the woods, so I can see them!
... the painting is a balloon. I'll paint you a picture of a black pigeon packed in a balloon and floating fluffy.
Then, the black cylinder was brilliantly packed in balloons. Fluffy there for a while!
Next is a black, big bat-like creature.
The one who has infiltrated the border through a small hole is now entering the town of the woods... attacking Julia.
That's why I put plenty of balloons in them.
... and all of a sudden the bat was shackled up, so I couldn't move! You did it!
Crowe, who was fighting for Julia, saw a bat with a balloon on it, poking. I can't believe the look on his face isn't as feminine as he fought bravely until now, and it's kind of cute.
And finally, they're in human form...
... I was going to take it down, but before I did, Faye and Laocles did it. No, Faye and Laocles, Red Dragon and Alicorn.
They are not just human beings, they are shot by Alicorn lightning and stopped moving, while the red dragons burst into flames. All the clothes that were baked and wrapped up turned to ash, and then... bones were left behind.
Move, bones.
Moving bones... Skeletons are moving. No, lightning and flames are already a very big move... but that's it!
"... skeletal specimens!
Moving bones! I did it! I want that! Human body model! There are muscle models, but there are no bone models, so I definitely want to desan!
... "I want to draw!" As soon as I thought about it, there was this strange feeling that my strength was relaxed, and instead, another force was springing up.
Um... the bird is next door, and I feel like I'm looking a little stunned. What is it...
"... you know, the boundary is okay now, right? I don't have to be here anymore, okay?
When I heard about it, Jiaojiang replied, and the bird pretended to shake its tail. It's like, "Come quickly." No, or maybe I'm just doing a bird stretch without thinking about anything in particular.
Perhaps with the bird's permission, I was caught by the phoenix and flew... south of the forest.
"Fei! Laocles! Are you okay!?"
When I heard voices from the sky, Faye and Laocles both raised their hands to the eagle. Looks like it's okay. I'm glad!
And I stopped them trying to stop the moving skeletons… I approached one of the moving skeletons.
Smooth, smooth white body. Hmm, exactly, bones.
I'm not a human, and I feel like I'm different from a creature. I see. Is this the Monster?
"A monster..."
As I murmured, Faye and Laocles nodded to each other.
"Oh, it's a monster.... it's unusual to be near such a crowd."
Faye is staring at the skeleton with a sharp face.
"... is your body okay now? Earlier, when I was squatting, I looked terribly ill."
"Yeah, it's okay."
In the meantime, I'm fine. There's a slightly injured person here, but the phoenix is already healing. Phoenix seemed to remember doing it, and the phoenix flew around quickly, providing tears to the wounded. I thought it would be better to serve onions, but I was tickled by the tail feather passing by the phoenix.
... yes. Don't serve the onions.
In the meantime, it's settled. The damage to the woods was small, and the injured people are healing steadily...
... ah.
Speaking of which, is Claire and Julia okay?
Speaking of which, I just fluffed the bats with balloons! Oh, no! We have to go see what's going on!
I immediately grab the Phoenix and head towards town. [M] Then Laocles and Faye followed me with their respective Summoners.
"Claire and Julia? Something wrong?
"Ah, yeah. Julia had a big bat-like thing just now."
Fei looks suspicious when I tell her what I saw in the woods earlier. [M]
"... I don't know if Mr. Crowe is close, but what's wrong with Julia?
"Come on...."
Speaking of, why? Julia-san, it's not like I was by the wall, and if anything, I'd rather be in the back because I was cleaning the sacrifice yard for spirits...
"... it's called this monster attack, it looks like there's something going on."
Mm-hmm.
... I think we should ask Julia about the situation.
