“But it’s just a guess, not a completely exact thing. I don’t know if that’s okay with you two.”
“It doesn’t matter. Let me know.”
I pointed out to him the characteristics of places where the Devil Toad lived and even pointed out a few places directly.
I wanted to tell them about the attack patterns I remembered, but I was not sure how different the game would be from reality. I decided not to tell them about it because I was afraid it would only have the opposite effect.
After hearing all the explanations, the man asked with a curious expression.
“How do you know so much?”
What I said was not a common knowledge, so it’s no wonder that it would puzzle him.
“You are free to believe it or not.”
Explaining further would just be too troublesome, so I just left it at that.
The man was silent for a moment before nodding his head.
“…Anyway, thank you.”
With this, it was the end of this encounter.
We had to get out of the forest, so we accompanied them until then.
All the baggage originally carried by the horses was now carried by Asher.
While walking in the forest, the woman suddenly opened her mouth.
“By the way, we don’t even know each other’s names yet. My name is Chercy.”
When she looked away, the man said his name too.
“It’s Kellip.”
We’re going to separate soon anyway, but they suddenly wanted to exchange names.
“I’m Ron. This is Asher.”
Chercy asked again.
“Umm, Sir Ron. I’m just asking out of curiosity, but can you please tell me who you are?”
“I said I’m an adventurer.”
She looked at me with a puzzled look.
“···No matter how I see it, it’s not like your real identity. And if we look at the person walking beside you, she’s not just a colleague, but an escort knight instead.”
When she didn’t get an answer, she asked no more, but asked other questions instead.
“Then can you tell me how you killed that bear from before?”
Because she was an adventurer, she was a curious woman. She asked all the things she wanted to ask while looking at me.
It was difficult to answer all of them, so I just ignored them moderately.
She licked her lips in regret and just changed the subject.
“By the way, it seems like birds have been spinning over our heads since earlier. Is there some kind of reason behind it?”
That still bothered me, so I gently raised my head.
Birds hovering above us while roaming around since a while ago. Just why?
They were almost out of the forest.
I could feel a faint presence with my super sensory.
“···?”
No, that faintness was just because of the distance.
It was a very large group of monsters pouring in from afar.
Soon, even the vibrations of the ground were felt minutely, and the other three also recognized the strangeness.
“Uh… what is it? The ground is shaking?”
And when we finally came out of the forest, everyone could see.
A huge black line stretching along the horizon to the land ahead.
It was a large army made up of many monsters in the demonic land of Hallmenta.
“···”
For a moment, I thought of something.
I looked at the scene with bewildered eyes. No, really, what was that?
“…Is this a dream?”
Chercy patted her cheek with a puzzled look.
Next to them, Asher and Kellip, had a hardened expression on their face.
I looked at the horde of monsters again.
Upon closer inspection, there was one that stood out among the monsters.
It’s very huge, and had long, thick tentacles in the middle of its body… Aside from its odd appearance.
【Lv. 91]
The most impressive thing was it level.
Level 91.
A monster equal to the warrior and one level higher than Bellevagorah, which I had met in the Rutus Mountains before.
··Ah
I only realized it after checking its level.
That it was that guy.
The fact that we often encountered hordes of monsters with weird combinations that were difficult to understand while wandering around, the birds that were bothering us from above, and the group of monsters unfolding before our eyes were all its actions.
Dominance.
The ability to dominate other monsters and treat them like their own slaves.
At the present time, there was a named boss with domination-type ability in Hallmenta.
Anyway, what kind of crazy number is that?
It wriggled its gigantic tentacles and stretched out toward this side.
Light soon gathered from the tip of the tentacle, and it created a huge purple photosphere.
I frowned at the eerie, magical energy I felt and took a step forward. Then I spread the floating veil as wide as possible.
Flash!
The light completely engulfed my vision.
The mana cannon fired from it completely covered the veil.
When the light faded, and my vision returned, I saw the ruined surroundings. Behind me, the sound of falling trees echoed.
Only the blocked part of the veil was intact, and the middle of the forest was open as if it had been erased.
“···What — crazy.”
Kellip, who understood the situation, muttered in a muffled voice.
Chercy, who had been lost in thought, suddenly came to her senses.
“Bah, did you just stop it?”
I stared intently at the monster in the distance without answering.
The last blow must have been a signal for an all-out-attack.
The monsters seemed to burst into roars all at once, and then they started flocking towards us like a tidal wave. The distance quickly drew closer.
“Go, run away! Hurry!”
Chercy turned white and shouted. Kellip looked at me as if asking why I was just standing still.
“Sir Ron.”
Asher rarely called my name with a sign of urgency.
A large army of monsters numbering more than a thousand. If you bump into it head-on, it would be difficult to leave a single bone fragment.
But there was no need to run away.
It was a situation I had never imagined at all, so I was a little embarrassed, but that was all.
All I could see was a swarm of fire moths running around to death.
I slowly raised my hand forward.
Uh uh.
Blood from the palms rose high into the sky and clumped to form a sphere.
Without stopping, he continued to spread and draw blood.
The red blood, which was getting bigger and bigger, soon became as huge as my body.
After compressing it as much as possible, I blasted it forward with full force.
Whoops!
Countless drops of blood that burst out of the air poured down like a torrential rain towards the monsters that covered the ground.
“But it’s just a guess, not a completely exact thing. I don’t know if that’s okay with you two.”
“It doesn’t matter. Let me know.”
I pointed out to him the characteristics of places where the Devil Toad lived and even pointed out a few places directly.
