There are three reasons why I killed that monster and saved Mireina. First was that he was much weaker than me and posed no risk. Second, I need a way to gather information within the Rookie Battlefield, because I cannot rely on Rain to obtain information. Third one? It doesn't look hard to do.
“Have you never met this monster before?”
“Fortunately, no. The ones I have fought before are much weaker than me. ”
“Ah, I envy you. I myself am not that strong, I am just doing my best to survive. Oh, my God, I miss home. ” In other words, I don't think it will be difficult to deceive this woman. I don't think all the elves would be fooled easily, but this Mireina can't be the sharpest blade if she's out here screaming like a child in front of that monster. ‘Not that I fared much better against my first monster, I guess.’
“Where are you from?”
“Quenasat. When I was a child, I decided to leave home and live as a wanderer. ”
“Visibility! So you're strong! I'm from Amni myself. Everyone in my village was very weak when we were brought here. We got together and tried our best, but now I'm the only one left. ” I didn't ask, but he really wanted to give you personal details. ‘I know I saved her, but I'm also a stranger who appeared out of nowhere. Show a little more careful, huh? ‘
The thought crossed my mind that it might be a hoax, pretending to be stupid to gather more information about me or keeping me off guard. Although I doubt it, it is possible that he could have the skills or artifacts needed to see through me. Whether he had any idea of the thoughts I had in mind, he kept moving happily.
“These monsters are really terrible, I just want to live a quiet life. Why did Great Fusion happen... did someone plan all this? ”
“If someone does, I think I want to meet them.”
“Caesia, that's the scary face you're making.” My face was fixated on the expression of a bright smile on the topic, seemingly scaring her. We continued walking through the fields, talking continuously until the day changed by night. The artificial sun above us slowly began to adjust its brightness without moving across the sky, changing daylight lighting to a night setting.
“Caesia, do you like moon?”
I'm doing. Even though I knew it was a fake, a construction designed to fulfill the role of the moon and the sun, it was so beautiful to witness after what felt so long. When I took my eyes off her, Mireina was there looking at me. ‘This woman is too friendly.’ I took my eyes off her eyes, unable to hold her back.
“How can you last this long?”
“I'm not too weak! It was just that in the past few days the monsters had become extremely ferocious. It was because the Wind of Eutinus was so close, and I had received a few blows to my soul from them.. ”A sad expression flashed across his face for a while, but he laughed at it, ' he said, assures me that she'll be fine after a few nights of good rest. ‘This doesn't seem like a safe place to relax so .. I guess he expects me to protect him.’
According to Rain, before I got here, the elves who built this place planned to stay here from then on. Which means there must be food here to sustain them, and it may not be a small place to explore either. ‘I think elves prefer to eat fruits and vegetables ..’
“I don't like to eat animals, but somehow they got here. They gave this monster a powerful body to use..Have you seen an octopus monster? It has all these legs, and it squirms like this! That's the worst. ”
“Did you kill him?”
“I escaped! I have a skill called Escape, it's so cool. This allows you to get away from danger easily. In fact, if my legs had not sprained before, I would not have been able to run without problems. ” He puffed his chest proudly, filling myself with a strange longing to have this useful skill. At the same time, I'm pretty sure now. Without doubt.
‘She's weak. And idiots. ‘
“When the monsters made it into the battlefield, they caused a lot of disasters. But fortunately, the fruit trees my people brought here can still thrive. What kind of fruit do you like, Caesia? ”
“Anything that can be eaten is fine.” I wanted to eat the monster corpses in my inventory, but if I did, my disguise would be exposed. Whether I stay here with him, or if I go back to the dungeon, I must make sure to eat away from the eyes of others.
We continued walking without a purpose. I don't know where to go, and he doesn't seem to have a goal in mind. I wondered how long we had to walk but didn't worry too much about it. “After all, we can only walk for so long, before he needs to rest.” Not long after that thought had appeared in his mind, he stopped suddenly.
“Eutinus' wind will blow tonight. Monster; this area... everything will change... ”Mireina turned around and started approaching me.
“I think this is a good place to stop and prepare. There's nothing around here. ” He says this with a serious face, but it feels silly listening to him. I still don't know what this Eutinus is about, or what will happen. ‘But it looks like it will change our environment?’ Also, there's one more thing…
“Hey, what detection rate do you have?”
“It's not advanced yet, but I'll need some at that level to get a thousand people. Is that possible? ”
“I have also not reached a thousand.”
“Betulkah? Surprising. You're pretty strong anyway. You're a fighter, aren't you? ”
“Not really..”
“How strong will you be if you get a thousand people? Maybe you'll stand on top of Elyos. ”
“Ah, forgive me. It has been a long time since I met another fairy.. ”The voice disappeared. If all the elves are like this, maybe I don't need to antagonize them. I decided to resolve the misunderstanding.
Monsters seem to gather around you.
“What…? I can't detect them.. Are they out of my perceptual range? Excellent.You are strong and reliable. ” He smiles at me respectfully. “Really, how weak are the people in his village?” I clicked my tongue and took out the Blood Shadow. It wasn't small when I became a scourge, but it is now the size of a great sword ever since I evolved into a Crimson Elf.
“Two in front of us and one behind us. three on the left about seven hundred meters. We can take it, but not all at once. Careful.”
Six of them? Mireina trembled; her face warped in fear as if she was about to be killed by a monster.
“This is bad... The wind will come soon..”.
“Quiet.” I put my free hand on Mireina's shoulder, but it didn't make her comfortable. He shook his head and fell to the ground
“This time I will die. There goes. I'll die.”
“Hei.” It's okay if you're weak. Everyone has their own limits. There's no way I can be as strong as I am now if I remain human. There is no point in ridiculing others for being weak due to their limitations. However, if his own heart was weak, then there was no hope. ‘Dissolve ...’ Mireina has succumbed to her fear of death, even though it has not yet arrived, and it makes me sick.
“Hey, leave me and run. With your abilities, you can survive, right? ”
“I can.”
“But you won't run, right? Even with someone as useless as me.. That's okay, you know? This body should have been dead a long time ago. It was nice to meet one of my kind at the last minute. So it's okay. Escape. Hurry now. ” I have to give it to her; at least she doesn't try to drag me along with her.
“Do not worry, I can clear it.”
“No!” Shouts echoed.
The wind of Eutinus is coming! As he shouted this, I jumped forward. Blood Shadow is on my left hand, some blood fangs on my right hand. I still don't know what this wind is, and Mireina might have gotten to the point where I can't defeat these six monsters. But it doesn't matter. I had to fight them sooner or later, and now I could sense that there were more enemies outside. As the night continued, the number of enemies would only increase. Escaping would not be possible with many of them, so it would be best to take my stance here.
It seems that some sort of change will happen due to the Eutinus Wind, so I have to kill this monster before then. With that thought at the forefront of my mind, I jumped forward in space. I jumped over the ground, clearing the distance in a few moments. The two monsters in front of me, have yet to notice my presence. I jumped forwards once more to get close, the two monsters turned to look at me as soon as I landed. ‘It looks like they are too vigilant to be surprised ..’
[Kugagaan!]
The monsters were scattered about twenty meters apart, seemingly indifferent to each other. They focus more on me.
[Kiiiii!]
The sound of Madness sounded, it seemed to be a skill possessed by all these monsters with modified souls. ‘Sial!’ If it wasn't for my resistance against him, I would have been made motionless by the double attack. But instead, the attack rendered them powerless. I have landed on the head of the closer – that is shaped like a – rhinoceros before they can react, using strength and speed attacks to strengthen Blood Shadow.
[Yeshaaak!]
The dark fog surrounding the monster's body started to break apart and flow towards me like a dark tendril, but I ignored it. I must hope my resistance to abnormal status will protect me from it. Instead, I focused on concentrating the mana into my sword and stabbed it into the creature's head.
[Some!]
My sword pierced through the monster's brain, the second one started attacking me. ‘Try to destroy me against your friend?’ I gritted my teeth, pulled my sword free and jumped over the collision just as the two monsters collided.
“No!” Mireina's cry sounded in the fields. It was a scream that tore through the air, reaching out to me so far away from him. ‘What happened?’ I spun in the air to correct myself, landing gently as my head spun to look at it.
The wind blew, filled with unpleasant mana.
[Kugaga!]
The monsters I noticed earlier started to gather towards this area, onto the two monsters that collided. I could hardly believe what I saw, the rough skin of the beast melted together. I haven't been fast enough in killing monsters, and now, something worse is starting to take shape. An evil creature and a terrible malice will emerge from the form of these monsters.
The wind of Eutinus began to blow.
