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

157. The beginning is coincidence, but the encounter is inevitable

Soil smoke will subside.

Until recently, the private house we were in is crumbling without a trace and turning into a pile of rubble.

Sleeply nestled on top of it is a giant golem.

A symbol of destruction that once ravaged City Hall, devastated the city centre and knocked us into the abyss of despair.

It was smaller in size than that, weaker in signs, but still so shocking that there could not have been just another individual there.

- And yet my gaze is not on 'Soytz', but on one man beside it.

(... who is he?

You look like a 'normal young man' everywhere.

You look too mediocre to even impress your face if you slip on the corner.

But the signs I feel in "Sovereignty" are undoubtedly monster sole. That's also a sign so powerful that it's no less pale than High Oak or Dark Wolf.

Instinct and skill complain that he is' dangerous'.

I'm alarmed that I'm worse off than any monster I've ever met.

(Besides, he just called me the "premature owner"...)

How'd you know that? No way, you have the Koitz 'That Skill'?

Swallow the sauce and spit.

A nasty sweat sticks on my back, naturally breathing faster.

"Email received."

Unexpectedly, an announcement that rings in my head. Who, at a time like this?

It's probably around Nishinose-san, because it's not Ichinose-san or Roku in Shadow Cage?

Sorry, but we'll see about that later.

For a moment now, you can't just take your eyes off him.

"... man, you look like you're on a lot of alert"

The young man on the shoulder of the golem shrugged his shoulder at all costs and sighed.

I don't think it's possible to be wary.

"I'm not here to fight anything. Would you mind listening to me?

"... there's no way you can trust me"

Who was the first to smash the house in an ambush?

I used to be able to say those words.

"Truth. This is like saying hello. I thought you could do it anyway, and... whoa."

Soytz readily and single-handedly took the consumer wave block that appeared overhead.

Shit, no.

"... are you going to hit me by accident?

"Say hello."

"Cheng Cheng"

I'm gonna stare at Soytz, and I'm gonna activate my skills again.

"Whoa?"

"Goa......?

Numerous more anti-wave blocks floating in the air.

The moment the man and the golem are blinded by them, this time 'stowing' the debris at the foot of the golem.

"Goaaaaa!?"

A golem that collapses about and falls at the forefront.

Combo with scaffold collapse and mass weapons.

It's an enhanced version of the Teppanyaki method of warfare that we've been burying so many monsters.

"Like."

But Soitz was.

Without breaking his grin, he threw the anti-wave block in his hand overhead as he wished. The consumer wave block emitted at an incredible speed offsets part of the barrage.

(Seriously...)

That was reminiscent of the sight of High Oak once single-handedly preventing and lightly throwing a heavy machine.

He looks like a normal person, but his powers seem far beyond those of a person.

As the golem falls, the rain of the consumer wave block pours, and the surrounding buildings are being destroyed one after the other, Soyts lands on the ground without losing balance.

"You have good skills. Spatial storage...... no, it was' item box 'if I put it this way? Interesting way to use your storage skills to attack."

Sounds really interesting, Soitz is staring at me.

Spooky gaze as if it was worth it.

Taking that, my voice echoed in my head.

"Proficiency reached a certain level."

Appraisal jamming has gone up from LV4 to 5.

"Proficiency reached a certain level."

Appraisal jamming has gone up from LV5 to 6.

"Huh!"

The announcement now...... no way.

"... oh?

Unexpectedly, Soitz raises his voice in surprise.

"Oh well. Do you have 'appraisal jamming'? You can only see the status halfway by the walrus. They have really good skills."

"What's that... you, you have 'appraisal' skills?

Expectations turn to certainty.

I have previously looked into 'appraisal' skills using 'right to ask questions'.

I didn't know how to get it, but the effect was found. "Appraisal" allows you to see the effects of items, skills, and the status of others.

The man just nodded naturally.

"It was in the Initial Acquirable Skills section. Thanks a lot for getting this skill first. Well, there wasn't an 'item box' like yours."

The holder of the 'appraisal' skills I've been looking for.

I didn't expect to see you in this way.

"Yeah, but just one thing, I'll make a correction."

Soitz stands one finger.

"It wasn't the power of 'appraisal' skills that found out you were a 'premature holder'"

"Become -!?"

Let's just look at my face and say it's funny.

"That's an honest reaction. Don't they often say you're not up for negotiation?

"Big favor."

Chief Shimizu used to whisper to me when I was a livestock company, but that's all right.

Humans, they're unsuitable.

"I'd love to take care of it. Anyway, it's a" premature holder. "I get a sense of intimacy, and I want to talk."

"So, what are you talking about earlier? Huh?"

An anti-wave block is deployed over the head of the country, further stretching the 'shadow' from the foot.

But he will be happy again.

"'Cause I'm the first monster in the world to kill a man."

Perfectly, the movement stopped.

What...?

"The skill given is' arrogance '. It's a skill that can be given to the first monster in this world to kill a person. And' premature 'is the first skill given to a human who has killed a monster in this world. Look, it's just like you, right?

…………

"Well, it was almost coincidentally close in shape. Shortly after the world happened to be like this, there were people nearby, and without myself, I got skills and intelligence by killing Soyts with instinct. Occasionally...... yeah, right, I just got lucky. Maybe you did, too?

I nodded in my heart with surprise at the words of Soutz.

Yeah, you're right. On my way home from work, I happen to have killed Shadow Wolf and gained skills.

To be honest, I didn't think I was the only one 'special'.

I was just lucky enough to think that there might be others with similar skills.

And now that has appeared in front of me.

"That's why I'm getting close to you. I didn't originally have talent, I didn't have a special pedigree, I haven't built up a bloody effort. Is it weird that people who just 'got lucky' want to get along with each other?

Nevertheless, he continues.

"As for the ensuing growth with 'power' in your hands, it's the result of my efforts and yours. I'm sure I've used my skills and proficiency so far. How many training fields have you been diving through in the last ten days? Honestly, you've been fighting a lot harder than me, haven't you? You deserve a compliment."

Titty and he applauds as he sincerely thinks so.

That turned the nerves upside down asexually.

Unexpectedly, he stops applauding and stares far away.

"- So you're trying to shoot me from afar. Will you stop her?

Shortly after, his right arm blew up.

A little late, Pa! and shooting sounds.

He rolled straight down the ground, hitting the fallen golem's body and stopping.

"Ha... that's awesome power. I didn't know my right arm would blow up even though I managed to prevent a direct hit... this is a painful greeting. You knew... but you were alarmed."

Look at his right arm losing tip from his elbow, and still he doesn't turn off his grin.

"Is this why you've been dating my conversation for so long?

"... I'm not in charge of answering."

Well, you're right.

While I was in conversation for a long time, Ichinose, who left Shadow Cage, moved me to a place where I could snipe. Use Momo's Shadow Crossing and Aka's Coordinates. Just in case, it's good to have the coordinates on top of the building that seems to be able to snipe.

(Because of the power, Mr. Ichinose used "Ichinose Special"...)

It's a monstrous rifle that wielded ferocity against the Titans.

Thanks to Aka's support for Kiki's "Supportive Magic (Buff)" and Ichinose's own local power, I've also managed to get used to using Array, but I didn't expect to use it all of a sudden...

I guess Ichinose also spotted out that that's all he is sucking.

And I'm not the one who lets this gap get away.

(Definitely to be tailored with coco -)

Skills and instincts say. He says he's the one who shouldn't 'let him get away' here.

I don't see the 'bottom' of that strength because I see more dangerous signs than any named monster I've ever met.

Activate "Ninja" immediately.

"-" The Art of Diversity ""

Poke your body toward him for the ten bodies you've created.

When he saw it, he sighed furiously.

"Oh man...... can't we have any more conversations then? I don't have a choice - Tyrann!

"Gogaaaaaaaaaa!"

Shortly afterwards, the golem moved as it fell behind him.

(Quickly -)

Equivalent to Titan's body - no, more than that if it's just speed?

At a speed that didn't suit that giant, the golem covered him and got round.

"I'll go see you again in the day. Until then, please say hello to 'that boy'."

"You can't let them get away with it!

Zuguan! and the sound of destruction rings.

There was a big hole in part of Golem's body.

It's a sniper by Ichinose.

"Ha... you have really good company"

Soitz squeaks like a shudder. The grin only caught a little.

The empty hole is instantly repaired, but at about the same time my divers approach it.

"- Item Box Open"

Minutes Attach "Pile Bunker" to one arm of the body.

Glad the repair was made in time.

The rest of us stick together to support it - and the 'pile' is released.

Zutong!! and again a tremendous shock sound sounded.

The shock ripples around and minutes of body blows apart.

A suicide bombing attack using the "Pile Banker" by a body that was previously impossible.

This is an irregular move that has only become possible now that your status has increased and the effectiveness of Ninja has also increased.

But...

"Damn......"

Apparently, it was a step too late.

Inside the dome-shaped rounded golem was hollow.

Probably ran off telling the ground like my "dirt trick".

(Well, good...... I kept the 'tracking' marking)

Signs of him traveling through the ground are conveyed.

You can now grasp the movement at any time, and if you know the movement, it's easy to deal with.

Set up a chase. It was right after I thought so -,

"Huh...!?"

I had a feeling something was going to cut.

At the same time, the signs of the man who was able to capture him until now disappear.

"No way...... the marking has been erased?

There is no other way to erase the marking by 'tracking' than by me.

Because he has the skills to prevent tracking.

"What the hell is he..."

Scratch your head galloping.

If you're right, the first monster to kill a person.

Holder of the skill of 'arrogance', strong enough to follow that golem like one of his men.

More heterogeneous and dangerous than any monster I've ever met.

"This again as soon as I thought I had finally defeated Titan..."

No more. What the hell, really?

You've got a lot of heart breaking design, this world...

Even with "Mental Pain Tolerance" this is it......, you may be bald due to stress.

"Wow."

Momo appears from the 'shadow' at his feet.

Then Ichinose-san and Kiki also came out of the shadows.

"Looks like you got away..."

"Yes."

"What the hell was that, that man? He looked like a person, but the contents didn't seem like a person at all..."

I hear Ichinose had the same sentiment.

I told Ichinose what the man was talking about earlier.

"... are you serious?

"Seriously."

More and more cloudy is Ichinose's face.

"You're so fucking gay, this world"

"I totally agree with that."

Ha - and Ichinose take a deep sigh.

"Are you skill 'arrogant'...... Is it one of the seven major sins if it's as promised in games and comics?

"Maybe, I think so"

Arrogance, jealousy, bulimia, anger, laziness, lust, lust.

Even Lanobe loves the promised seven great sins.

I thought it was a game kind of world, but they also had those 'promises' right.

And if that's what you promised, 'arrogance' would definitely be a skill with powerful effects.

Skills given to monsters who kill people for the first time, or...

Eyeglasses mutated into monsters, monsters that look like people with powerful skills and even a golem to follow. Plus, I'm curious about the last thing that the guy said.

Damn, I'm going to get all kinds of info all at once and get my head flat......

(Oh, with that said, 'Email' was coming too?

I didn't have time to check earlier, but now it won't be a problem.

Open the status screen and check your email.

The sender... Nishino, after all.

What the hell is that?

Tap the screen to see what's inside.

"........................... Huh?

…… What is it, Mr. Kudo?

"Let's hurry back. Apparently, there's been an anomaly with Nishino."

Troubles really overlap when they overlap, don't they?...... Really no more.

We rushed back to City Hall.
