The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life

139. City Hall Attack Battle Part 7

"What the hell, this..."

I don't know what that means.

The reality in front of me was unacceptable, and that's just how I grumbled.

Five new golems appeared when I thought I had defeated Titan.

What the hell is going on?

"" "" "LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

The overlapping roar echoes around us, destroying buildings one after another.

That was as if you were mocking me for wasting all your hard work and all that.

"Ahhh..."

Mr. Ichinose, standing next to him, is also dismayed that the reality in front of him is unacceptable.

I try to speak up, but I can't think of a word.

'Cause you do, don't you?

Even if we were ready, we could finally figure it out.

That's the five bodies.

How can this be? It's totally beyond what we can do anymore.

This... what the hell are you doing?

"Luwo......"

Their eyes can be pointed this way.

Slowly, step by step, the golem approaches this way.

The uninterrupted ringing is a countdown that literally tells despair.

Each step, step closer, the sound is loud, loud, and eventually stops perfectly.

Huge shadows cover us all.

The moment that arm swung up to smash us - Momo shouted.

"Wow!

"Ouch...!

The pain ran at my feet.

Look, Momo was biting me in the ankle.

"Wow!

Momo barking to hurry.

That voice and pain finally brings me back to sanity.

"Huh... sorry, Momo!

The rock fist was imminent.

In a moment, I flew to the side with Ichinose.

Zudon, make a hell of a noise and the place where we were until just now will fall.

"LUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

But the pursuit never stops.

Like crushing a bug, the Golem of the Five wants to crush us.

There is no mercy there.

Repeated onslaught, pale as simple work, catches up to us physically and mentally.

"Ha... ha..."

My flank hurts.

My lungs are screaming.

"... Ichinose, it may hurt a little, but please be patient. Don't let Kiki shake you down."

……

"Ki-yu, ki-yu!

Put your strength into your arms embracing Mr. Ichinose.

Kiki also clings desperately to my neck without being swayed away.

Momo's "Shadow Crossing" is only a skill for travel.

You can't lurk in my 'shadow' like a Momo.

So I have to hold it.

"Lwow, wow, wow!"

Yabba......!

A single golem lifts the rubble with its hands.

I shook that up a lot - threw it.

"~ ~ ~ (sieves)!!

For a moment, the aka that was simulating it in my clothes swells my body.

Even guarding the countless debris looming like a barrage quickly shreds its volume.

"LUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

"~ ~ ~ ~ (Sighs...) Huh!

Yet another golem will enter the pursuit.

The dust dances and the roaring roar.

If Aka hadn't been here, we would have been so minced.

But...

"Akah! Enough! Stop it!

Keep it up, you'll die!

But Aka said, 'No!' and tremble your body.

"Aka...... ugh!

Damn it! Damn it! Don't be ridiculous, don't be ridiculous, motherfucker!

I deploy anti-wave blocks and heavy machines around me up to the limit range, creating huge walls.

Before I came here, I enhanced all of the "Storage Expansion", "Storage Size Maximum Expansion", "Concurrent Storage Capacity", "Concurrent Retrievable Number Expansion", and "Effect Range Expansion" in the item box.

Still, I was able to guard it for a moment.

But a moment is enough.

If only I could buy a moment to activate 'Ninja'.

"-" The Art of Soil "heh!

I dive to the ground with Ichinose in my arms.

Previously, I could only dive on my own, "The Art of Soil".

This also raised the level of ninjas, which improved their abilities.

I was able to travel through the ground with my buddies, and their travel distance grew.

(We need to leave this place first...!

Momo's 'Shadow Crossing' can't be done by two people at the same time.

Unless it's a small organism the size of a kiki, but when it's about the size of a person, one is the limit.

We need to move somewhere out of their sight first.

(... hmm?

What? I just got a strange sign.

From the Golems. At their feet...?

No, we need to leave this place now for now.

"Pfft."

Dive through between the golems and get out on the ground.

We hid in an empty building nearby.

Now it's just a little bit, but it'll buy you some time.

The Golem of the Five, as you can see, was now allowancing and gradually destroying the surrounding buildings.

The devastation of urban centres is no longer inevitable.

No, that's not all.

As it is, this town, everything around it, will be destroyed by them and turned into a pile of rubble.

So get out of here before then.

Let's start by heading under the body for Aka, who was letting Rokka-chan tackle us in advance.

Join them and get out of here somehow.

"Ha... ha... Momo, it's 'Shadow Crossing'"

"... kun"

"... what's up, Momo?

Why don't you spread the shadow?

"... wow"

Momo raises his sad voice.

"Huh...!

That's all I could guess.

Something happened to Rokka-chan.

Ha ha. See the direction of the mall.

Finally I realized, there were more 'bad signs'.

There was an anomaly over there.

I don't know if I can text you... if you're an idiot or really suck at me.

The situation is pointing in a worse and worse direction.

"Uh, damn... damn..."

What are we gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

What am I supposed to do?

How can we get through this situation?

In frustration, I slap my fist against the wall.

Tell me who it is.

How can we get through this situation?

It's a game kind of world.

Somebody tell me 'Answers' that you can do this, like strategy books and strategy sites!

"... Mr. Kudo..."

Pompous, I heard Mr. Ichinose.

Mr. Ichinose, who had finally opened his mouth, had a look like he was determined to do something.

... Could it have come up with the art of opening up this situation?

I wait for Ichinose-san to say something with the thought of straw.

But it was a completely different word that came out of her mouth.

"... please put me down and run away"

"............ what?

For a moment, I didn't know what I said.

What is Ichinose saying?

"You can't use Momo's 'Shadow Crossing' because you don't have coordinates (points), can you? Then you just have to let Mr. Kudo, who's fast legged, get away first and earn some distance. After that, Momo can pick me up in Shadow Crossing."

See, that's a good idea, isn't it? and Ichinose laughs thinly.

"What... what are you talking about, are you..."

Leave only Ichinose here under this circumstance to escape?

Earn distance?

Stupid.

Try that.

She will soon be caught up in the attacks of the Golems and die.

You don't know that. It's not Ichinose-san.

"I... my body is already the limit. I can't even run around with a recoil."

Hugging her own body all the time, Ichinose confesses.

... I know.

With that in mind, I set up this operation.

So, I figured I'd figure something out.

"So... more than this has happened, I'm already on my feet. If you're just Mr. Kudo, you can definitely get away with it. So..."

"There's no way you can do that!

I screamed.

"I'm not kidding! You know what I mean by my words!? You know, in this situation, you used to be kidding me!

Abandon your usual tone and I'll get up.

I was really mad at what she said.

I don't have a choice from the start to abandon Mr. Ichinose and run away.

If it's enough to do that, it's still better if I get stuck and buy some time.

That's how important Mr. Ichinose was to me.

"You're going to die, no doubt! You're not scared!

I stare at Mr. Ichinose.

But still, she was flat.

He looked down just a little sad, and immediately smiled and looked at me.

What makes you so happy?

"... you're scared, aren't you?"

Mr. Kazuya Ichinose-san puts his hand on my chest.

"You're not afraid to die..."

"I see...!

"But still, I don't like Mr. Kudo dying any more than I do."

"Huh...!

"Being selfish, pulling cages, not being able to talk to people at all, throwing up at people I met for the first time, complaining all the time... and still telling me I was one of them. You really pissed me off at my words right now. So... you don't want to die like that... more than I do."

……

"I'm surprised myself. I can't believe this line came out of my mouth... that's all you've ever been so important to me."

I don't... that's the same with me.

Even I told you about Ichinose-san.

"So please, Mr. Kudo. Please leave me here. It's okay, look, I'm lucky. That's all you're hitting on in" Gacha, "isn't it? So I'm sure that luck will take its side."

"That's not why... there won't be..."

Sure, Ichinose-san's pull on the chatter is amazing.

I'm lucky, 'cause that's what I thought at first.

But it wasn't.

It's not like Mr. Ichinose has extraordinary luck.

"I guess it's because I've spent most of my time raising the level."

……

It's not like she's lucky.

That's the thing, dozens of times, no, if you suck, you just turned the chatter over a hundred times and kept going until you got a hit.

I sacrificed everything else and just poured it into me so I could gain all that profession and skill.

There would have been another option.

But you can never catch up with me with 'premature maturity', not to the extent that I normally assign points and normally get stronger.

That's why she bet on the best she could do.

To be with me and Momos. To fight shoulder to shoulder together.

"... Ichinose-san, I am truly proud to be one of you. So... I will never let you die."

If anyone asks, they will laugh.

We don't even know each other very well.

Even conversations don't play particularly well.

Even when we eat dinner, we eat each other in silence, and it's over in a few minutes.

A shallow, thin relationship that lasts only four days.

But what happened to it?

No matter how they say it, the time I and Mr. Ichinose have spent is real.

I won't let anyone fool me.

Do you want me to?

"So..."

Think, Kudokazuto.

What are your wasteful skills for?

It's settled.

To survive.

It's not just me.

To keep Mr. Ichinose alive with his people.

Think, explore the art of surviving by hanging everything like you did in that high oak.

Think, hang everything up and help your people look like that Dark Wolf time.

Don't give up.

Keep exploring the possibilities.

Think about what you can do right now.

"Cut... Ha, ha...!

The immersion of the sea of thought raises the brain as it circles the rpm.

An overwhelming amount of heat burns my whole body to the point where I think my nerves might burn out.
