Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 301 In the Darkness
"However, there are several Cave Bats that will come this way without being caught by the magic equipment."
"When that happens, I guess we'll have to use as little magic as possible and crush them so they don't make any noise."
"It's our turn."
"I can't predict what will happen... but I can't go any further if I don't."
"Then we'll have to do it!"
"Alright, we're ready."
Saddle takes out the shield he was carrying and prepares for the coming Cave Bat.Nil and I will prepare ourselves.
"Turner sticks to the wall as much as possible and keep it quiet.We'll figure it out. "
Yeah.
"However, if you're in a dangerous situation, you can use your magic.It's better than dying. "
"Okay, I'll just be ready."
"Well then... let's do it."
I pour magic into the pottery balls.
Po and the high noise began to ring, and at the same time he threw the ball behind the cliff.
When I heard the sound fade away...
Bash bash bash bash bash bash bash bash!
Behind the darkness, you can hear the sound of wings, and something black is moving.
"Ugh...."
More accurately than us, the sound and the petrological sound that can grasp the existence of those sounds is something I don't want to hear, or I don't like it.
"Petro, what do you say?"
"Yeah, it looks like a lot of them are fishing and flying.But... it's time to come! "
Shit! Shit!
Along with Petro's voice, a loud winging sound can be heard from the surroundings.Pretty close... but I still don't look clear.
"There it is!"
Petro was followed by Promerte.
Since I was pointing my finger at the tip of the darkness, I can certainly see two bright red dots in the darkness when I stare at the tip.
"Coming!"
"Leave it to me!"
Saddle returns to Donnath's words and holds his shield at the forefront.
Ki!
Almost simultaneously with the sound of a cave bat, a cave bat appears in front of Saddle.
Gah!
She attacked Saddle with her toenails whilst winging, but the attack was blocked by her shield and did no damage.
"I think it's still coming! I'll deal with it quickly!"
"Leave it to me!"
Zashh!
Donnatsi's great sword slits Cave Bat's torso with one shot, and blood splashes over the scaffold.
"I'm coming!"
Gah!
"I'll take care of it!"
Nil shields Cave Bat's attacks from the side.
Nil!
As soon as I've prevented Cave Bat from attacking, I'll step forward and launch an attack.
Zashh!
Kiki!
"There's still more coming!"
The sound of winging gradually increases, and black hair and giant bats with bright red eyes appear one after the other from the dark.
Pashh!
Ki!
Giggle!
Every time I hear Promerte shoot an arrow from behind, I shoot through the eyebrows of a bat where the flying arrow is stuck and drop one or two.
"I'll drop only those who come from above!"
I'll take care of it!
"Promerte! Tell me when you're about to lose your arrows! Get it out of the inventory!"
Got it!
Promerte holds a bow in front of Tana and keeps shooting.Many of the arrows in the arrow are estimated to be about 30 arrows.If you keep hitting it well, you'll be able to defeat 30... but as long as you hear the feathers, it won't fit.
However, Turna, who cannot use magic, replenishes Promerte's arrows one after the other from behind.It seems that a lot of arrows have been prepared for this.
Gah!
Zashh!
Giggle!
Saddle! Now to the right!
Hmm!
Gah!
"Leave it to me!"
Zashh!
Giggle!
Petro is also successfully attacking us from the side.
It's going to be a pretty tough endurance battle, but I don't see any hurry.Stream stones are S-ranked adventurers.
Because the whole thing is not so strong, if we deal with it reliably, we will continue to drop the bat believing that we can do something about it.
Ha!
Shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh!
"" "Ki!" "
I can't lose either.
Use your freshly remembered powers to take out the Away Cave Bat at once.Then, the blade of water generated by the Shimizu sword is also thrown, and several are dropped.
The heavenly fox sword and dragon fall that Senna gave me are in the inventory.
Because it was originally made as a spare, I decided to use Shimizu Knife and War Hua as the inner ones that could be used.
As a backup, it was too good to be quite lost, but the weapon that Nil and I could handle would not be found on the continent anymore.The only possibility is an event reward.
I thought it would be better to keep using it and replace it after crushing it, rather than letting go of the current weapon that is familiar to my hand.
Nil's dagger, in particular, isn't much in my inventory.If you don't choose how to use it carefully, you won't find a weapon when you're in a hurry… What a shame.
"Hmm, what was that?!"
"I know you're worried, but I'm not making any extra observations!"
Donnate reacted to my powers, but the Promerte who saw it scolds Donnate.
"If you don't focus, you'll be swarmed all at once!"
Gah! Zah! Gah!
Kiiiiiii!
Saddle prevents enemies from attacking, slashes with his sword, and prevents again.
"I'm sorry!"
Boom, boom!
Hey!
Donnate's strike was a widespread, high-powered attack, so two or three of them were mutilated at once.
"There's still more coming!"
"It's going to be a long time! Be careful!"
Pashh!
Ki!
Giggle!
Some of the bats heading towards Nil and I sink into Promerte's arrow.
I always have to do everything with Nil... but if you have people behind you, you don't feel stable.
It would be great to work with Saddle, Donnate, and Petro, but it is difficult for others to get into the boulder and S-rank adventurer level.
On the other hand, as far as the whole is concerned, it can be in the form of cooperation, but it is only a state of fighting, and it is not mixed.Still, there is enough firepower, so there is no problem.
I keep cutting off Cave Bat for almost five minutes...
"I think it's over if we take down the guy in front of us now!"
"All right, I got it!"
Zashh!
Giee...
Saddle kills Rush's last Cave Bat, and the sound of the feathers finally disappears.
…………………
What do you think?
"... yeah. It's okay. It seems to have settled down first."
"Haaahh... it's finally over..."
We fought on the front lines, covered in bat blood.It's going to stink and make me sick.
Immediately rinse the blood with water and finally breathe.
"That was an incredible number..."
There weren't hundreds of them.
"Almost all those arrows are gone."
Looking at Promerte, it seems that there are only about ten arrows left in the arrow barrel, and all of them have been used up.There's nothing left in Turner's hand.
I don't think it's going to be all over the place, but it seemed to have barely come off, and I'm pretty sure there were quite a few.
"All of a sudden you're welcome..."
"It's a nasty place to go even though it's barely down yet... it's going to be difficult to get to the bottom with this going on forever..."
"After all, the noise has disappeared nearby, so I don't think it's a problem to go down."
"They should have been sensitive to the sound, so I don't think they'll be able to collect it if they go down carefully. Continue like this?"
"Turning back here would be the name of an S-ranked adventurer. Naturally."
"It's about time we finished the first rope, so let's switch to the second around here."
I see.
Create a place to tie the rope to the wall and descend further down from the scaffold.
Everyone had that fight, but they didn't have any shortness of breath.Evidence that there is still room for health.
Did you imagine the same situation again? Everyone silently conveyed the rope and headed down.
Looking up, the sky was also quite far away.
Kara.....
A part of the wall peels off and goes downwards, but afterwards it tells me that no sound can be heard and the ground is not near.
Hmm...
"There's no sign of Cave Bat around here."
When Saddle exhales, Petro tells me out loud.
"It's time to make the rope the next one, so I'm going to build a scaffold."
"I'll do it."
Tana begins to draw a magical formation.
Is magic okay?
"The magic is still fine.Even so, I'm an S-ranked wizard.
Besides, it's not going to be very helpful elsewhere, so let me do this. "
"I don't think so... thank you very much."
Everyone takes a breath on the scaffolding created by Turner.
Speaking of which, I don't think Saddle was good at high places?
"It's too dark to see the bottom, so I don't seem to feel much fear.I'm fine for now. "
"It's a theory that if you keep your eyes shut, you won't be afraid."
"Still... much deeper than I expected. This land is broken."
I don't know how long it's been down, but looking up, it looks like it's been down for hundreds of meters... no, it's almost a kilometer.
"If you turn off the light, you won't see anything at all."
The light has not arrived completely, and if you turn off the lantern, you can't even see your own hand that is supposed to be in front of you.
There is always a smell of soil around, and the air is moist.
There are no creatures on the ground and there is no sound at all.
When everyone is silent, they don't make any noise, so they feel creepy.
"At least knowing the distance to the bottom will motivate me..."
"I don't even know what I'm hearing, so I think it's still far from the bottom."
"If you say so, I'll imagine a high place, so please stop.I can't move anymore. "
"It's so pathetic to be a confident line."
"Even if it's pathetic, it's the truth, so it can't be helped."
"Saddle's height-phobia will never heal."
"You don't have to fix it. I'm never going to climb high again."
I'm not climbing high, but what about going from high to low right now...?I stopped asking.I'm really in trouble if I can't move anymore.
"I don't know how far down it is, but let's go where we can go first."
It was time to get a rope and try to get down again.
Snap... snap...
You hear the sound of hard objects colliding with each other.It's a really small sound, a sound that I miss when I'm talking.
What's that noise?
"Petro, didn't you say there was nothing?"
"There was no doubt about it. Until just now...."
"You want to say you showed up all of a sudden...?"
"There are monsters that can turn off the signs."
At least it's a monster enough to fool Petro's ears.
Sticky... Sticky...
The sound that echoes from the darkness. I can't see.
"Shit. What's that noise?"
"I don't even know."
……………………
Sticky... Sticky...
"... have you stopped...?"
"I don't know... I can't hear anything like footsteps..."
Everyone explores the sounds by the wall, protecting each other's backs.
"Hmm, what is it... that...?"
In the words of Promerte, when everyone turns to the side, something white slowly approaches the surface of the wall.
It's not that I can't see, I can only say something white... something I've never seen is approaching.
If I'm forced to say, is it okay to say that the jellyfish consists of only the feet...?No, dozens of insect feet, just a bunch of feet growing from the same place.It might be closer.
That creepy creature? is about one meter long and completely white.
Most of the dozens of feet do not defy gravity, but run downwards, with only a few feet grabbing the wall.
I thought the clicking sound was the sound of walking on the wall, but it seemed different, even if the feet conveying the wall moved, they didn't make a sound.
Sticky...
At that time, there was a click again.
Then, Dalan and a few pieces in her hanging legs move like twitching dances, and she hangs still.Apparently, when the ankle joint moves, it sounds unique.
I may react to the sound, but I didn't make a sound... Kimmimo!!
All your hair stood upside down at once.
I think the feet of a hundred feet are also disgusting, but I'm more disgusting than a hundred feet.
Especially the movement of the feet at the moment of the click and sound is extremely dangerous.
If it's such a mental attack, it's definitely a successful move.
"Nah, what is that..."
Apparently, like I said, Promerte turns her arms around to hug herself and creates deep wrinkles between her eyebrows.
Apparently, Promerte and the others have never seen a monster before.No, it's probably a monster in the first place. I'm sure he's alive because he's moving...
"Try attacking...?"
"I'd love to if I could get over it..."
Looking at objects with white feet, thinking about what to do...
Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle!
Everything with dozens of legs runs irregularly, dancing wildly, and walks towards the wall as it is.
"I can't, I can't, I can't!"
Pashh!
While denying the object with all his might, Promerte shoots an arrow in a half-crying state.
Baki!
When an arrow hits one of your feet, it's easy to get hit.
It seems that the front of the body is quite hard.
"Am I close to that?!"
"We'll have to do it!"
"Nh!! Nuoooo!"
I hesitated for a moment whether Saddle didn't like it, but in Donnate's words, I would never go forward.
Gagga, gagga, gagga, gagga!
When the dancing leg hits Saddle's shield, it scatters a gorgeous spark.
Shit. Shit.
I was able to catch the attack, but it seems to have more power than expected, and Saddle's body is slightly back.
Magic is coming!
In Turner's words, Saddle jumps out of nowhere.
A magical formation was drawn in front of the monster just by foot.
The Magic Faction belongs to Intermediate Dark Magic, Black Spear.Apparently, they use dark magic.
"Spear flying magic! Avoid it!"
"Nh!!"
Boom!
Saddle rolled sideways in my words.Black Spear passing directly beside it.
"Dark magic... nasty!"
Gakin '!
Saddle tries to cut it with a straight sword, but the blade is played.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick!
Once again, only the monster's feet, which repeated their disgusting movements, moved up and down the wall.Quite fast. Looks like a white cockroach just for my feet.
When you think of such a thing, the cold gets even colder.
"No! It's too stiff for my attack!"
I'm attacking! Stop it again! "
"So easy...!!"
Gagagagaga!
Now don't force yourself into it and attack Saddle with just a few legs.
I suppose you hated being stopped. High learning ability.
Ha!
Gashh!
However, could you not react to Nil slashing from the side? War Hua's attack entered properly and two legs flew.
Tick-tock, tick-tock!
I don't know if you're feeling pain, but it's just a foot monster that keeps you away from Nil at once.
"Uh-huh..."
The chopped leg falls on the scaffold, but it bounces around like a fish caught up.
It's a disgusting monster everywhere.
Moreover, Nil's Warrior has not hardened.Apparently there is no or very little body fluids.
Another spear is coming!
"I won't let you!"
Next, Petro approaches from the opposite direction and launches an attack.
Gagging!
The attack didn't go through, but the monster turned around and the magic team disappeared.
"Donnate! Match!"
"Leave it to me!"
Me and Donnate ran forward and packed up the distance from the monster at once.
"Ooooh!"
Zashh!!
I'll shake down the Shimizu sword and cut off nearly ten legs at once.
It must be quite painful.
When I jump out to the side immediately, I swap it for Saddle, who waves his sword sideways with all his might from behind.
"Haaaahhhh!!"
Gushh!!
A monster whose whole body is bent by a big sword so hard that it sinks into the wall.
A pleasant sound like crushing a crab with a hammer makes all your feet hang and immobile.
"And you're dead...?"
"I think so..."
"It's a monster that doesn't make any footsteps, and on top of that... the feeling of fear swells up..."
"I don't know what the hell is going on, and it seems better to bear in mind that something comes out.I don't know how to deal with it, but... "
"There was a clicking sound, so maybe I was checking the situation around me."
"Same as a bat?"
"It's possible. If you come to the light, it's not strange that you've already stopped by... no, I can't hear the footsteps, so maybe you're still sneaking around."
"Hyi! Stop it! I imagined it!"
I imagined it myself, and I felt sick and trembled.
"I'm sorry, but if you hear that rattling sound, be careful."
"I hope I never hear you again."
Katakata...
Hih?!
Then a few of them came to us and managed to crush Promerte sideways, which they really hated.In the end, there were more creepy carcasses without knowing why we were here or why they were attacking us.
"If I were here, I might be here forever, so let's get down early."
"That's good! Let's go now!"
