Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"Hmm? Another demon..."

"Is that slime again? A little much lately, huh?

It's been months since we started logging in the North Forest.

Skull Ape, which had been attacking me frequently since the beginning, as well as Oak and others, had defeated me sometimes, but I had encountered slime more often lately.

Even though it was initially seen as one per day, a few are often handled in a single logging operation these days.

It's not a big threat in itself, but I can't leave it because I have trouble sticking my foot in it by mistake.

I just should say I'm lucky, I haven't run into an auger so far.

Are you lucky, or was the record-breaking encounter itself the exception?

"No, this isn't slime. Maybe a demon you don't know."

"Oh, finally, Auger!?"

"Then I wouldn't be so calm. You're stronger than a hobgoblin, but weaker than an oak."

"Well. But, Auger, we're not gonna meet, are we? If it's about the demons we've met before, it seems good to have adventurers coming to the felling in this area."

"That sounds like a matter of frequency. Even with as much logging and hauling speed as we do, every time we're attacked by demons, right? In our case, we don't have to say that we carry magic bags, and the time it takes to cut them is much shorter than normal."

Toya's high physical abilities, as well as the ability of me, Hulka and Yuki to use the right magic for logging, make logging possible at considerable speeds even for giant trees.

Finally, in the case of magical logging, it is also advantageous that the sound is less loud than in the case of tapping an axe.

If you used an axe, perhaps the sound is sounding in kilometers?

"Then bind viper. For us, we've already handled miscellaneous fish lately, but it's pretty dangerous if we can't detect it. Looks like a lot of sacrifices were made during the removal of the felled trees."

"When transported normally, it seems difficult to take a day trip"

"Finally, we, in terms of combat capability, are already at the top of the list in this city.... Normally when I get stronger, I leave Raffan, but"

Even if the share per capita becomes dozens of gold coins, if the mortality rate is high, will it be distant?

By the way, we're top notch in combat, but our rank as adventurers remains at 4.

Still, it seems to be the highest ranking in Lafan, but the recent logging of trees is not reflected in his track record as an adventurer, as he is wholesale without passing through the Adventurer's Guild.

"Didn't we talk about a new demon? Don't you have to go?

"Oops, you did. I think you should go check, what do you think?

"Right. It's not a good idea to wait."

From the reaction of the opponent, it seems unlikely that he is a very strong enemy, but in the unlikely event that he is a difficult opponent to cope with, he will also need to flee.

In that case, it would be advantageous if we headed here to confirm rather than if we waited for the other person to come.

"Well, Nao, good to see you."

"Copy that. This way."

It takes about a few minutes to switch the logging tool to a weapon and move in the direction where the reaction was. The enemy I saw ahead of my sight was, in a way, very fantastic.

"... skeleton, right"

"Right. It's a strange demon with no tendons, no muscles, but somehow a whole body is connected."

"No, is that where the scratch is? I'm sure it's connected by something cool."

It was the white boned corpse, the skeleton, who was walking making noises with the kacha kacha.

He has a sword and a shield bent over, while rusting things.

That's three.

"The spear is not very suitable for you. It's Scarska."

"Is my sword... is it?"

"The most suitable is my sword. It's almost blunt."

"Am I supposed to take a tour? I think I can handle this little machete, but there's only three of them."

If you mean blunt weapons, there are iron bars in the magic bag, but don't you dare use them?

Perhaps we should consider getting a weapon for Skeleton, such as a hammer or a flail.

"Well...... let's just give Toya and Natsuki a try and do the rest in the form of a follow up"

Copy that.

If the policy is decided, it will only be executed later.

Toya pops up first, followed by nuts.

Skeleton was slow to react to such Toya's movements.

I was about to lay my sword against the chatter and Toya, and Toya's sword is swung down against one of the leading bodies, crushed in an instant from the skull to around the clavicle.

Skeleton's bones were too thin for that attack, which was launched shortly after that, while the second skeleton manages to take with a shield, also added centrifugal force.

The next moment I thought I'd stopped for a moment, with that arm off my shoulder, Natsuki's sword smashes Skeleton's ribs and spine, turning its body into two straight pieces.

"Wow... brittle than I imagined?

"No, one way or the other, it's nutty power. Recently, even bind vipers are cut into rings..."

"Right. You haven't changed your appearance."

When we first met, the bind viper, who had a little difficulty cutting, had also recently found that the snail's sword flashed "flickering" and cut his head off perfectly.

It probably also affects the quality of weapons and the technology of nuts, but it should also almost certainly improve in terms of simple force.

However, that is not to say that Natsuki has become a Macho, but the effect of [muscle enhancement] skills and the level of objects raised by defeating demons. I haven't changed my arm thinness or anything.

"... but that's Skeleton. Even I'm not dead."

"I don't think he's dead because he's a skeleton, but he can't be killed."

"Toya seems to have stopped moving."

Toya, who crushed his torso, just can't push it, another blow, thanks to crushing it all the way to the pelvis, or its skeleton is stuck.

In contrast, if Natsuki attacked, his head and lower body are still in motion.

Natsuki, who looked at it and glanced at him, slammed a stone into his skull, his lower body crushed the bones of his legs, and his pelvis crushed in two as well.

"That's quite a pain in the ass!

While Toya said that, she figured out she wasn't strong enough, or she beat the rest of the skeleton with cancer in the belly of her sword and smashed her bones in an instant and killed her.

"It's not strong... it's definitely a bit of a hassle"

"I wondered what would happen because I had a sword and a shield... there's no point in being so weak"

"Sure. If I could take the arm I took, it wouldn't mean a shield."

There is little point in taking it with a shield and attacking it.

Maybe it's something else if you're a powerless opponent, but at least if it's Toya and Natsuki, you could go aggressively to hit the shield.

"I may be able to kill the demon stone as soon as I crush it... but then there will be no profit."

"Demon Stone... where was it?

"Maybe, in the skull?

The demonic stone that Toya fished and picked up the crushed bone was bigger than she thought.

I thought it might be smaller in terms of strength, maybe a little bigger than Skull Ape?

"In your skull, it won't crush easily... but it could crush you by mistake."

"Right. or attacking it with concern..."

"Isn't that good? Even if it smashes. We haven't had that much trouble with money."

"Right. Luckily, it didn't break one this time, did it?

In Toya's hand, who stood up saying so, there were three demonic stones.

None of the attacks seemed to hit the Demon Stone, even though they were pretty rough.

"If it's not broken with that, you need to care - Toya! Behind you!"

Toya reacted quickly when she heard my voice.

As soon as I drop the demonic stone in my hand to the ground, I pull out my sword, and the moment I look back, I shake it out.

"Colour!?"

But such a Toya attack only cut the sky without any resistance.

"What is this!

There he was, something translucent, like a black hoya.

If you dare to describe it, is it something with a black robe?

But there are no legs, no hands, and the part that hits your face is just darkness. I also feel that I can see something glowing behind it, but it is so vague because it is translucent as a whole.

"Undead with Skeleton Connection?!?"

Toya waves her sword again with that scream, but it just passes that too.

As soon as that too approached Toya, Toya's knee fell apart and Toya even flew like she was in a panic.

"Touch it - something, it'll lose its power!

"Toya, back off! Fire Arrow!

It unleashes the magic that has worked for me more than once, but the magic slipped through it and burned up the tree behind it.

"Mazu!

"Idiot, Nao!" Extinguish Fire "!

Yuki was the one who immediately followed me.

The tree that was burning instantly quenches the fire.

"Excuse me! You mean, magic doesn't work either!?"

"If physics doesn't work, it's magic," I tried to shoot, but it has no effect, and its also approaching this way with a jitter.

"Nao, what about" Holy Fire "?

"Can you use it! Level seven, that!

Scream back to Hulka, who says something unscrupulous.

Anyway, it's attack magic that seems to work for the undead, but the level on the magic book is actually 7.

Although the skill level displayed in the status and the level of magic available do not necessarily match, the level notation and difficulty of the magic book are proportional. I haven't practiced yet because it's not magic that I can use, and I didn't think I'd see the undead.

Besides, this demon suddenly appeared without being caught by my enemies.

Just a miscellaneous fish, there will be no such thing.

I don't have a magic weapon that's going to work on the undead, and I don't have holy water objects.

It is unprepared no matter what you think.

"Shit! We're retreating!

That's what I screamed as I slowly approached her.
