Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

To Natsuki's words, if you look up, what you could see there was a cluttered, curved branch of wood.

"Become -!?"

For a moment, I was stunned by the unlikely sight, but once again, I have a lot of experience.

If I could immediately fly back big enough, a branch of bastard and tree was slammed right where I was until just before.

"Ugh..."

"It's moving, right?"

It was like pulling a leg out of the mud, moving the roots of a tree, and the tree was moving out.

And if this is just the state, there is a clear reaction to [the enemy].

"I feel needless to say, Trent. Skills are [pseudo]. Do you have any other information?

"It doesn't come out pah, but as for the wood, it seems more valuable than the trees we're cutting, doesn't it?

"Will I be glad to bring it back"

If you ask me, I also feel like that was written in the Dictionary of Demons.

In a way, it's a demon that's going to be popular in the town of Raffan...

"How do I kill you?

"Destroy more than a certain amount, or destroy the Demon Stone, right? It's hard to know what to do."

If you hurt the tree too much, it will lose its value as wood, and if you destroy the demon stone, you will not be able to sell the demon stone.

If we can take it home with a magic bag, we should be after the Demon Stone...

"It's troublesome... you know where the demon stone is?

"They say it's in the center of the root. Is it reasonable when it comes to validity? It's the thickest."

"Sure."

When it comes to normal trees being the thickest place, it's still the root part.

Place the Demon Stone in its center and it will have the highest defense.

"We don't have the means of attack to penetrate that much at once."

"Will you scrape it a little bit or burn it? Is it difficult because it's also raw wood?"

Really, I regret not having Toya.

And then Hulka too. With Sickle Style Air Cutter, I can also take a way to drop the branches a little bit, because I'm not very good at wind magic.

A pair of spears and swords are not quite compatible enemies for me and Natsuki.

Incidentally, Natsuki and I are discussing this relatively slowly because Trent is traveling at a slow rate.

The nagging root movement is a little disgusting, but it doesn't seem very suitable for travel, and it doesn't seem difficult to escape in itself.

Most of all, if there's another Trent on that escape route, you're at high risk of being struck by surprise.

"... No, seriously, how do you kill him?

If you don't think about the later, if you take a series of my good "Fire Arrows," I also feel like I can handle it, but because of this, I want to secure the wood.

To take it back to Raffan and to determine if it's worth hunting Trent in the future.

"In the tunnel, cut off that root with an axe - oh, with that said, there wasn't a space-time magic called" The Plain Shift "?

"- Oh! That one!

Level 5 space-time magic, 'spatial partition'.

As the name suggests, space can be separated and the subject cut off, that's a hell of a powerful attack magic to ask, but that's not wholesale by the Inquirer.

First and foremost, activation takes time.

In the case of "Fire Arrow" and so on, it takes the form of activation and then hitting the enemy, but in the case of "Space Separation", the process of designating the activation location, concentrating consciousness and activating magic is followed.

In other words, there is a slight time lag between location designation and activation, and if you are a normal enemy, you have moved from the target location in the meantime.

Even if you deal with it by shrinking its time lag through training or predicting where it travels, another problem is consuming magic.

Overwhelmingly 'Fire Arrows' is better cospa if it's to kill orcs and such.

Hard to use and bad cospa.

I mean, I don't have the benefit of using it.

So I totally forgot it as a means of attack, but isn't it just right on this occasion?

Trent's moving slowly, too.

"Then hurry up... the Demon Stone is the thickest place, right?

"Yes, not the root, but the thickest place in the trunk,"

"That's subtle again..."

It's a little hard to tell where the trunk is and where it's rooted because of the relationship that has crawled off the ground.

Based on the size of the demon stone, I think I can handle a few centimeters of error...

"" Spatial Split "Plain Shift"!

Set your aim carefully and activate the magic.

Very plain magic, no change in appearance, but Trent's change was clear.

The roots of the trees, which were moving, stop perfectly.

And shortly afterwards, its roots began to break apart as if it couldn't stand the weight, and the trunk that was on top headed this way -.

"Oops!

"Wow!"

Me and Natsuki rushed to avoid it, and a big tree lay on the ground with Zushin, and a stump cut at the root, rolled in a gobble.

"... oh, light"

Apparently, he was able to cut the Demon Stone place well.

It's a tree that seems to have a diameter of about 60 cm in the root area, but it cuts without any resistance... isn't it great? This magic.

"The logging of the namewood the other day, I wish I could have used this"

"But this magic, yes, it can't be used many times, can it?

"Well, yeah. But me and Yuki, I feel like we could have cut down half of it with this magic."

Manual logging takes a lot of time, so you have time to rest.

After you cut it down, it'll take a while to branch it out.

Most importantly, we won't be going logging for a while, and most importantly, now, returning is our priority.

I try to poke the spear in my hand and the rolling stump, but there's no response. Even the [Sovereign] has lost his response, and he's dead (?) It seems good to think so.

"If you shoot me, you won't have that strange suppleness."

Natsuki is nodding as he examines the broken roots and the branches that, no matter how he sees them, only appear to be ordinary trees.

I'll touch it, too, but no matter how you look at it, the tree.

If you look at this, you can't even imagine that the roots were moving like tentacles until earlier, or that the branches were as supple as rubber.

Only amputated demonic stones visible in the incision of the stump make us see that this was Trent.

"… do you want to collect it? No more demon stones."

"Yes, because of that."

We're used to cutting trees, too.

The two of us handily dropped the branches and stored them in a magic bag.

I didn't know if the stump had a use for it, but I also collected this one for now and moved on - even after that, Trent emerged, as I recall.

Since the second time, I've been logging in 'spatial segregation' before moving out, but if I take the demon stone out of position, it's a bit of a pain in the ass.

Only the stump will strike.

Plus, it's because you're lighter, or oddly quick.

Well, considering we're moving to avoid knocking down trees over ten meters, is that inevitable, too?

"But aren't we talking about destroying more than a certain amount of it and you can kill him?

"Even if I told you... it just said so in the book."

I think just the stump is in a state of losing more than 90% of my body, but I just want to complain to the author.

Most of the time, if you avoid the root and tap the axe into the middle of the stump, you can shoot it in one blow, so it's not a big threat.

Still pretty quick, and in case Natsuki gets tangled up, it's going to be R18, so I'm the main one dealing with it.

"But you really can't walk at night in this forest. It's too dangerous."

"Right. Shadow Margay strikes his neck from the dark. Even Trent is like suddenly being hit with a stick from overhead, isn't he? Plain killer, expensive."

Skills are also [hidden] and [pseudo].

It feels like a true ambush, inadvertent strike, etc.

"Maybe there are other similar types of demons?

"I can't even say I'm not there... Let's proceed with care."

"Yes."

Neither would that have flagged it, but even after that, a demon appeared exactly like it.

The first is Stub Burrows.

This is just a demon that also appeared around the entrance to the dungeon, saying, 'Long time no see!' It felt like, 'I made it a spear rust, but the other was a little nasty.

That's Shadow Viper.

A name like a relative of a bound viper, but the ecology was also very similar to that.

When it comes to the difference, [hidden] holding, the total length is about five meters long, slightly narrow, and the whole body is black.

And this difference is plain nasty.

[Sovereignty] On top of the difficulty of discovering it, it slips through the branches from a fairly high position in the tree and stretches out its body at once.

Now, skin solidity is more than a bound viper, and strength is more than that.

If you get attacked in the dark, this blackness of body color is seriously not going to be stylish.

Just a snake. Have a pit organ or something. Yes, and the other person won't have anything to do with darkness.

- Well, Natsuki was still lightly decapitated with a sword.

'It's thinner, so it's easier to slash than a bound viper,' he said.
