Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

How was your surroundings?

When I hear it, Effe answers immediately.

"I don't like it." It wasn't too close or too far, and there were monsters all around. In particular, the number of liquorice jellyfish is high. "

"If it's just the Likkou Jellyfish, it won't be too much of a problem, but there are stavers, Hungry Mantis subspecies, and quick-type A-rank monsters everywhere." When it comes to attacking at the same time... I think it's pretty tight. "

"I see... it's hard to take a break."

But you've come up with something about that face, haven't you? "

“Yeah, I think I'll get a good rest.”

“Let me hear it.”

As a result of Heine's examination of the surroundings, there was no significant difference in the surrounding terrain. There doesn't seem to be a special place to rest around where we are. Rather, there was a river a few hundred meters northwest, and there seemed to be a dense concentration of monsters around it, and there was no safe place.

When I heard this, I felt hopeless, but he thought about how to deal with it.

We were also noticed by Heine-san, but don't you think that among the monsters that live in this forest, the monster called Likkou Jellyfish is a monster that is slow in movement and can't use magic, so it doesn't seem to be able to beat the competition for survival?

I've been told... even though they have a strong paralyzing poison, I feel that the fast-moving monsters are stronger in the survival competition.

Pilte reacts to Suraitan's words. Following that, Nil shares his thoughts.

"It's an ambush type because it attracts prey at night with light." Even if it can be nourished during the night, it hardly moves during the day, so I feel vulnerable if I am targeted and attacked during that time. "

“That's exactly what we did.”

"There are many S rank monsters in this chaos." Monsters that are not poisoned or specialize in ranged magic attacks. Most monsters emit a powerful attack that surpasses Cynthia's throwing attacks in a single shot.

Even though there are such monsters, there are a lot of Japanese jellyfish in this forest. ”

"Even though the weak monsters are deserving of exclusion, the large number of jellyfish is certainly unnatural."

While powerful S rank monsters compete for survival, I don't think a monster named Likkou Jellyfish will survive.

Although the Likoku Jellyfish is a troublesome monster, from the viewpoint of survival competition between other monsters and the Likoku Jellyfish, the Likoku Jellyfish is worse.

In other words, it wasn't supposed to be a monster that could grow in numbers in this chaos.

"From the first time I fought the Likkou Jellyfish, I've been caught up in it." Why is that monster increasing in numbers in a place like this?

That's why I focused my research on it. Then I found it quite interesting. "

That's why Heine took out a glass bottle like the triangular flask that Slatan often uses. There is a clear liquid in it.

What's that?

"It's the body fluid of a lickjellyfish." The three of us defeated each other and collected it at that time. "

I defeated you... now?

"Thanks to Cynthia, I could see the weakness of the Likkou Jellyfish, and if I used Earth Magic as a physical attack, it wouldn't have been so difficult."

I'd like to say that it's quite chaotic... but if you think these three can do it, you can't say it's chaotic. I actually came back without difficulty.

"Don't do anything too dangerous?"

"It's okay because I was aiming for the deviation." If it was dangerous, I planned to run away immediately. "

"Well, that's fine... so?"

"Actually, it seems that this lilac jellyfish's body fluid has the effect of attracting monsters."

Attracting effect?

"It means that the monsters are close together." As they say, the monsters around them are coming for us.

We humans don't know if it's a smell or something... but the body tissue of the jellyfish seems to have the power to attract other monsters. "

The Surakutans don't seem to understand the principle, but they are convinced that the effect itself is certain.

"If we sprinkled the actual body fluids of the lilac jellyfish near another monster, the monsters wouldn't look at us, and they would definitely ingest the body fluids of the sprinkled lilac jellyfish even though they were numb."

"I didn't know it would have such an effect..."

"Me too." Well, I've never seen such a large number of luxury jellyfish in the first place, and there's no possibility of luxury jellyfish and other kinds of monsters being nearby, so there's no way I can't help but notice. "

The Likkou Jellyfish was a rare monster among S rank monsters, but the number of monsters was small. The number of monsters below rank A is higher, and I often encounter them. The Likkou Jellyfish was just an S-rank monster...

And even if you discover an S rank monster, the Likkou Jellyfish, the surrounding monsters are often already aware of the danger of the Likkou Jellyfish and have distanced themselves, and are usually isolated. Therefore, even if I had the characteristics of a monster, I wouldn't notice it.

"I understand that, but... if you keep the monsters away, I don't think attracting them will lead to the survival of the lilac jellyfish...?"

The fact that other monsters ingested the body fluid of the lilac jellyfish that was sprayed means that other monsters will prey on the lilac jellyfish. In other words, if you have the effect of attracting monsters, you will be often targeted by other monsters and be prone to predation.

I couldn't see the advantage of attracting other monsters even though I had a clear weakness.

"It's usually unnatural." That's an advantage for this liquorice jellyfish. After all, you can't attack the Likkou Jellyfish unless they get close to you. "

Do you know that you will be attacked by the paralyzing poison, and that you will approach the darkness?

"Is that the cleverness of the lilac jellyfish... I think this lilac jellyfish's body fluid has the power to reduce its thinking ability."

"Does that mean you're gonna make me freak out?"

"I don't even know what effect it has, but there's no doubt that monsters are approaching inadvertently."

Originally, I don't think there are many other monsters nearby, but there are monsters everywhere in this place, so I think they work very well. "

This chaos ripple is determined by the mountain range, but because there are too many monsters alive, the monsters can't get that far from each other. It seems that they are making the most of the ability of the Likkou Jellyfish.

We don't have that kind of effect, do we?

"Yeah, I know it's been a long fight, and I'm pretty sure it's only a paralyzing effect."

It's a psychic interference poison that's only effective against monsters.

"That's exactly what it looks like." I think they use it to draw in other monsters and repeatedly prey on them. ”

"That means that if you can make good use of the body fluids of the Japanese jellyfish, you can direct the monsters to other places."

"That's very clear." If you scatter this a little further away, the monsters will be drawn to you. "

When that happens... we need to get some of the body fluids from the lilac jellyfish.

"As for that, I think we have just a few more minutes to collect it, so the three of us will collect it." I don't need that much.

There are a lot of dead jellyfish on the road, and I think it will be fine if it is set up in three or four places if you think it will be attracted to them.

I just have a problem... "

Is it the same Likkou Jellyfish?

Yes. I don't think that the poison of the lilac jellyfish is effective, so it would be troublesome if they noticed us.

"Even if there is no Cynthia, it is now known that the three of us can defeat each other, so it would be best to separate the three of us to take a rest."

Okay.

"There is one more problem, and I think some monsters are not affected by the poison of the Japanese jellyfish, so you should also be careful."

If all monsters were to be affected by the poisonous effects of the lick jellyfish, the number of lick jellyfish in this chaos would increase. However, although there were actually more monsters than other monsters, there were more monsters than other monsters. It is natural to think that the lilac jellyfish are also preyed on to a certain extent.

In other words, the monsters that can prey on the Japanese jellyfish are not affected by the body fluids of the Japanese jellyfish, so they can attack us as they are.

So far, there hasn't been any fighting with any special monsters, but we're still at the entrance to the chaos. There was a good chance that dangerous monsters would appear suddenly.

Therefore, I, Nil, Pirte, Slatan, Effe, and Heine split up and set up a watch and decided to reveal the night.

Experimentally spending time until the evening, including whether the body fluids of the lilac jellyfish work well, and confirming that they work well, it is at night.

On that night, Piltee noticed that the lilac jellyfish were about to approach a couple of times, and I threw the stone to eliminate them. It seems that the same thing happened twice or three times after the change, but Heine and the others eliminated it.

I noticed that I could use the body fluid of the licko jellyfish, so I don't forget to collect it thoroughly.

The next day.

After getting some rest, we left early in the morning for the north.

"I think you've defeated quite a few monsters, but they're coming one after the other."

There were battles on the first day, but on the second day today, the rate of encountering monsters increased as soon as the battle with monsters began as soon as I took a step north.

It would be easy to see how much more likely it was to encounter a monster if it was lined up with the number of monster crusades the day before, about three hours after it left. Also, the number of monsters gathered from the surroundings doubled when the battle broke out.

Once we fight and slaughter all the monsters that come near us, we'll be safe for a while, but... our efforts have increased all of a sudden.

Now that's just the end of it.

If the number of battles increases the more you go to the center of the chaos, it's definitely a chaotic place...

"I can still deal with it now, but if the number of monsters keeps growing, I won't be able to deal with it anywhere."

"That said, there's no other way than to fight...?"

"I might be able to throw the body fluids of the licko jellyfish away from the monster a little, but it's water on the burnt stone."

It means that you have to knock it down, knock it down, knock it down...

It's impossible for a monster to live at such a density, isn't it?

"We don't know everything about this world, and I don't know if there are other places like this, but I think it's quite unusual for different kinds of monsters to live at a close distance from each other without interfering.

It's like a monster house in a dungeon... "

There is too much to say about the number of monster houses in the dungeon at one time, but it's so hard to feel.

Once you start a fight, the monsters that heard the noise and the bodily fluids that come out when you defeat the Japanese jellyfish attract the monsters around you from one end. Therefore, they gather from the surroundings in units of ten.

Since you're a member of this group, you're pushing this number forward, but you all know it's going to be a pretty tough journey.

"If you want to turn back now, do you think it's okay to continue like this?"

When I came here, I knew exactly what kind of place it was. If you don't think you can, you should turn back here.

But…

"... there are a lot of them, but we can deal with them." There is no decision to turn back. ”

“I think this member could go on like this.”

Everyone answers no to my question.

It's tough, but you're sure you can go like this.

"As long as it's reliable." Then we'll head north. "

I don't know how many monsters I'll be dealing with at a time, but I'll be saturated somewhere because of the territory. There was always a limit to the number of monsters at one time. If our ability to cope can withstand that limit, it will prove that we can make it to the north. And everyone thinks they can live up to that limit. Of course I do.

That's why I continued to crush the monsters as I headed further north into the chaos.

And it was around noon that day.

At last, I decided to fight against S rank monsters that were incomparably more dangerous than the Likkou Jellyfish.

It's time to start fighting monsters again.

Heine, who was leading the way, drew attention to us with a small voice.

"Grrrrr!!"

"" "" "" What?! "" "" "

Immediately after receiving Heine's attention, the white shadow burst out in front of us.

A monkey-shaped monster with pure white hair. A-rank White Monkey. It is a small monster of about one meter in size, has long claws and eight heavy teeth, and boasts one of the best speeds in the A ranks.

"You're a white monkey!" I'll take care of it! "

"Suratan! Wait!"

"Huh?!"

Heine stops Surakitan trying to run towards White Monkey.

Why are you stopping Surakitan from coming forward? I looked at Heine with a face of.

The reason that Heine shouted to wait was immediately known a few seconds later.

"Guga... giggle..."

* Giggle *...

The white monkey that Surakitan tried to deal with falls into place while blowing bubbles from his mouth and stops moving.

What happened?! What happened?!

Surprised, a snake of about 30 centimeters emerges from beneath a white monkey with pure white hair.

"Huh?! Piltee! Instant wind magic!"

Yes!

The moment they saw it, they all took a distance from the snake.

Basilisk met in the submarine tunnel dungeon. It is an S rank monster called the Snake King.

With pure white eyes, from the back of the head to the tail, green razor-like scales grow on the back, and the ventral side is covered with a twinkling yellow scales.

It was only thirty centimeters tall, but the poison that came out of Basilisk's fangs was a fierce poison alongside Aitvaras. Just the vaporized poison enters the eyes, and people die.

Among the S rank monsters, it is a kind of monster that is said to be bad.

Because the poison of the Basilisk is bad just to get close to, I will use Wind Magic before anything else to keep the poisonous vapor from coming here.

The basilisk that seems to have defeated the White Monkey is staring at us with its tongue.

"It's a bad time..."

It looks like the other monsters have noticed us, but they haven't stopped by...

After deploying the wind magic, Pilte seemed to be watching his surroundings, but he reported it with a bitter smile.

The fact that he hasn't even arrived means that he hasn't arrived yet, which means that... Basilisk is the monster on the side that preys on the lick jellyfish.

The Poison of Basilisk is another dimension when compared to the Poison of Lycopodium jellyfish. The basilisk that handles it is unlikely to be poisoned by the lilac jellyfish.

”I hate fighting that... so much...”

"Ahh..."

But you're looking at me, right?

"I see..."

Completely locked on to us. It was too dangerous to show Basilisk's back to the opponent, and now that only one was the opponent, it was a good idea to defeat it somehow.

It's just... the Basilisk is moving surprisingly fast. If you look at the speed-type white monkey you're taking down, you'll see.

The basilisk is small and moves fast, but my stone throwing is difficult. Still, if you keep throwing stones, you might be hit one day with a bad number of cannons, but before you do, you'll be poisoned.

Stay as close as possible here, and we'll take care of it.

Nil. Can you pierce it with a bow gun?

While the Basilisk isn't jumping in, I check everybody's movements.

“If the movement stops or you can create a situation that is easy to predict, I'll pierce your head.”

"Alright... Surakutan. Can you guide us to Basilisk?"

"I think if you don't poison me, I'll be able to guide you."

"All right. Piltee, I need backup for Suratan." Keep them away from the poison. ”

Yes.

"Heine, Effe, I stop the movement of the basilisk by magic." Nil creates a situation that is easy to defeat with a bow gun. "

There's no problem if you take care of it like that, right?

“Yeah, no problem. But don't be so disrespectful as to aim too hard and stop the movement."

Yeah.

Basilisk was one of the most powerful S rank monsters in the class, but Heine was not overly nervous.
