Chapter 117 – Ascension of Souls

“No matter what you think about swordsmen, you shouldn’t do that to strangers. Isn’t that common sense?”

Selka, who hesitated a bit at my question, opened her mouth after looking at it.

“…Are you talking about common sense?”
“This bitch hasn’t come to his senses yet. Since you came out like a dick first, so did I. Rather, that’s common sense, isn’t it? If you hate me, then I hate you too. Why don’ t you know this? It’s also mother’s fault. Is it? This is why home education seems to be the most important thing.”

I came down from the rock

If you rested this much, you rested enough. The mentality of people from another world was something I couldn’t understand and didn’t need to understand. Because you hate it, you create reasons to hate it. It’s the same whether it’s the modern Earth or another world.

The world is full of incomprehensible fucking things.

As for me, if I think about it with common sense, I’m just shocked to see something ridiculous. So, you need to change your way of thinking a bit. It is necessary to abandon the common sense of modern people and think in a ferocious and violent otherworldly way.

“Break time is over. Let’s go find confetti now.”

So, I set off to find Konpeito again.

Mushroom monsters also appeared in the middle, and I met Desert Runners hiding in the bushes, but I killed them all without any special danger. If those monsters get caught in the hands of Kim Katt, they just go that way and issue a one-way ticket to Mt. Bukmang. It was a pity that all of them were just guys with no money.

“Roel, when will I be able to find you?”
“…I don’t know either.”

Even so, Shui Konpeito could not be found. Roel gave directions to Selka here and there, but nothing came of it. When she asks, she says she doesn’t know the details either.

“You don’t know?”
“Yes. I know where it’s likely to grow to some extent, but looking for it…”
“Why do you blurt out your words?”
“It’s just, uh, difficult. So. A little…”
“Little?”

When I talked about her while glaring at her, she became completely contemplative.

I want to do as much as I can to scare myself. Well, I didn’t have to say anything, so I decided to just move on. I sent her back to her, and I walked from the back of her party, wary of her surroundings to her.

The party goes well, really.

Time just passed.

“It’s filthy hard to find that konpeito, Mr.”
“Ka-kat-sama… Wait a little longer, calm down…”
“No, I just complained a little. It’s hard. It’s not a big deal, so don’t be anxious. Am I the kind of person who can’t calm down when I open my mouth?”

I hope you are as uncomfortable as I am.

The overflowing bushes made my head dizzy. Somehow, the smell of the air changed, as if the strong scent of flowers had spread. I cleared the road by cutting down the overgrown plants. It would be better to mark it like this when you return.

Then we came across a certain hill.
I saw something like a tree growing above it.

“Tea, I found it!”

Roel, who was looking up at the top of the hill, shouted.

“Is that tree by any chance?”
“Yes. That’s the tree from which konpeito grows… Ugh, finally… I can finally finish it… Finally…!”

I decided to climb the hill with Roel, who was a little too thrilled, in front of me. Selka, who was in the front of her, lowered herself and climbed the hill, holding her posture like a boxer. After that, Custo looked left and right and climbed up, and Roel and I came last.

ㅡ much.
ㅡ much.

But as I climbed up, I felt as if something was flying. Things that glowed with a faint green light were wandering around the tree.

“I heard that even a tiger will come to you if you tell me, isn’t it Moss Wisp?”

Looking at the form, it was a moss wisp.
It seemed that this appeared because of the song 100% Selka sang.

Moss Wisp is a spirit-type monster that I saw while hunting cockatrice the other day. Who was it, William? Anyway, I’ve seen in amazement with Copson that he easily killed him with a longsword.

As far as I know, Moss Wisp was a very dangerous monster, but after hearing the explanation, it wasn’t like that again. I mistook it for Soul Eater. Anyway, since Wisp cores are quite expensive, it’s not worth bringing them… Oh, I’m not sure. What about it?

“Wisp!”

Curstow, who had spoken with the right pronunciation for the first time in a while, exclaimed in astonishment.
Then, as if Roel was protecting him, he stepped forward and pointed his staff at the front.

“Custo, shall we deal with it?”
“Hey, wait a minute. You don’t know how many shots there are yet.”

I stopped her from trying to shoot her magic right away.

“…That’s right. Oh, I see.”

I opened my eyes and looked around the tree.

The number of wisps flying like fireflies seemed to be three or four. It’s a monster that uses basic hypnotic magic, so it’s going to be difficult to fight… Even if I throw a stone, I don’t think I’ll be able to hit it.

“Hmm, Roel. Have you seen Moss Wisp?”
“…I’ve caught a lot of enemies.”
“Yes? Is it an easy opponent?”
“It’s over with one magic.”

Then it wouldn’t matter.

I think they might run away, so it would be better to lure them in first and then deal with them with Roel’s magic.

If you take the konpeito and the core of the wisp, not only the promotion but also the side profit will be good.

“Serka. You turn around and go upstairs, and Custo goes upstairs with me. Roel, look at the situation and shoot magic with the intention of ending it with one shot. If the fireball flies away, I don’t know who was hit , but everyone else will run away.”

When I forced them to answer, each of them stuttered and answered that they knew. Along the way, Selka climbed slowly from a distance away from us, and I climbed the hill with Custo.

The more I climbed the hill, the clearer the konpeito trees began to appear.

It was an impressive tree with fruit that looked like star candy. If you look at what it actually looks like, it looks like a magic ingredient. It looked so delicious that my mouth was watering. If you bring ten of them, you’ll be able to upgrade. If you have a spare, it would be nice to bring that as well.

ㅡWell.

“Hmm? What is that bastard?”

As I climbed, I noticed something suspicious.

As he spoke, he sensed something serious and made everyone stop. —-I could feel the strong, reverberation of that flower. What kind of flower is the scent… At least, it didn’t seem like the kind of flower that would be nice to receive as a gift.

…Something foreign was sitting against the tree.

No.

Wait a minute.

You say ‘sit’?

“That guy, that one…”

Something ‘man-like’ was sitting against the side of a tree.

What? Another adventurer? No, then the wisp could be nearby … As if he sensed that something was wrong, cold sweat broke out on his back and his body his began to get cold.

Extreme tension soared due to the unexpected situation… Cloudy.
There is no Cloudy. What? How? What is that?
Dude, why isn’t Elise next to you! Fuck Copson! He doesn’t even have one!

All that was around now were not trustworthy companions, but rather dog-fucked motherfuckers. When I realized that fact, I felt chills as if a hole had been pierced in my bone. It was so cold that even the five-year-old bastard froze.

My adventurous risk sensor, trained for three years, started to sound the alarm.

ㅡTeeeee!!!!

I became extremely anxious at the signal and pulled Custeau’s robe and slowly backed away. Custo also turned to look at me with a frozen face and retreated at my pace. He, too, was aware of the suspiciousness of the situation.

“Huh? Custo? What is it?”

What is Roel? And he came out in front of us.

At that moment, I suddenly had an ax in my hand, and I thought that I should silence this bitch’s head by splitting it open. But by the time you think about it, it’s already too late.

“Huh…? That one?”

A voice that seems to have discovered something.
—-And Roel shouted in astonishment.

“De, dryad!!!”

Dryad! Just hearing the name seemed like a freaking monster! In the first place, most of the things that looked like people were dangerous beings. My mind is beginning to wander over this unbelievable event!

Escape.

Must run away!

ㅡ…?

‘That’

The dryad stood up as if it had been woken up by Roel’s cry. Stand up? No. I was kind of delusional. It didn’t stand up—-it bloomed.

It means that it bloomed like a flower.

That foreign sight never belonged to man

“…Monster.”

A female monster that looks like a combination of a flower and a human.
Light green skin, green stems and petals wrapped around the body!
What stood there looked like a person, but at the same time it looked like a flower!

“Agent Yellow!”

Half-man, half-flower dryad!

I felt a transcendent level of fear. I never wanted to fight an enemy I didn’t know. I had never heard of such a thing, and never even imagined it in my nightmares! Compared to that, Black Birdman was just a good-hearted neighborhood idiot!

Konpeitogo Nabal and live for now!

The reason for the promotion match is that if you bow down to Cloudy and cry and cry and beg for it, he will forgive you and hug you as if there is nothing you can do about it. And I’ll be dragged right into bed. But when you die, you can’t even do that. When he died, he was determined to die in Cloudy’s milk grave…!

ㅡ Hwareuk!

“Fire bolt!!!!!”

Accident at that time.

“Yayyi!!!!!! Feet!!!!!!! This mother is backward!!!!!!”

A scream that would shatter the earth itself erupted from my mouth! Roel couldn’t stand it and smashed her fire bolt!

Even the flying fireballs, let alone the wisps and dryads, flew into the konpeito trees and exploded.

ㅡPerong!

Your mother is too!

“This fucker, is aiming also development?”
“Heh, don’t shake it!!!”

Distraught, I grabbed Roel by the shoulder and shook him randomly.

The dryad recoiled from the sudden explosion. Fortunately, the wisps all left in search of a way to survive, perhaps due to the effects of the explosion. Candy-like confetti fell from the konpeito tree. Those kind of dream-like scenes seemed to slow down, like a slow-motion video.

Will you run away?

No, can I run away?

Or am I simply more frightened than necessary by the unknown? I couldn’t tell. I don’t deal with opponents I don’t know.

ㅡPay!

Selka kicked the ground.

“Hey, that bastard, why are you running again!!! Hey Custo! Stop that!”
“Three… Selka! Selka! Run, run… Run! Run!”

Haaaaa!!! Selka’s screams erased our pleas. It must have been a scream rather than a spirit, as she rushed at the dryad like a diamond warrior and unleashed a punch that pierced the soul itself.

ㅡPeruk!
“Annit!”

At that moment, the vines that rose up created a barrier.

Selka’s punches were blocked in vain by the plant’s barrier. Does that make sense, bitch! This is fantasy! Selka started whining. Upon closer inspection, her fist her was lodged between the vines.

ㅡShashak!

For an instant, the eyes of the dryad and mine matched. That, no, she looked at my face. She looked at my face-

—-As it were, it rushed at us like a darting arrow!

“Yai-yi-yi! You can’t even bounce at that speed in the first place! Hey! Prepare for battle!”

Judging by its speed, it seemed impossible to escape from this place.

I shouted at myself to brainwash myself. He held the drawn knife in his hand her. In an extreme situation where I had to risk my life—- I made my decision!

It would be difficult if the children here died.
But it’s more difficult for me to die.

Are you running away alone? Not. It’s time to get dark. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to the city alive just because I ran away alone.

It’s already been caught by the dryad. It would be more correct to say that the monster will kill these three and come after me.

If that’s the case, we have no choice but to use our numerical superiority to shoot him down.
ㅡ It’s good. It’s a game. I may lose, but I believe in my skills and equipment that I have accumulated so far.

ㅡShashashak!

The weight class of the dryad that was running at least seemed smaller than me. As she sprinted, she spread her palms open. Her ugly fingernails her emitted reflected light. It was like a fingernail that contained primal malice against humanity destroying nature!

“Custo! Prepare for battle! Roel! Aim the Firebolt!”
“Heh… Heh, heh! Yes, yes! I see!”
“Fa, Fireot…!”
“Asshole, don’t shoot now, aim! Aaaaa!”
