Chapter 73
〖Douz-Dogurmald〗--
I ran while approaching the village, I should bring the game to a suitable place .
The opponents are organized, but i’m still enough to send the other party flying even if I carry Millia on my back .
I gradually dropped my speed to attract them ."Gaa'"
I gave a small bark to the clinging Millia, and stop to turn around .
Noticing that their pursuit are already noticed, the Mahaa Wolves appeared from the sideway .
"Guruwaaaa'!"
These fellows sure are energetic .
They should have escaped quietly instead of coming out . .
As usual, the level is not that high .Should I collect the meat on the way back as a souvenir for the black lizard and the Red Monkeys?
I bombarded the Mahaa Wolf that had started charging with〖Baby Breath〗 .
I approach it as it moves sideways to dodge, and throw it with my tail .
The Maaha Wolf rolled on the ground, but got up immediately taking a defensive stance .
"Guuruwaaaa'!"
Barking again it came and attacked the same way as before .
It’s kinda too much like a berserker .
This guy, are you a machine or something?
Of course it’s not, as this guy can get bloody and injured like normal .
The Mahaa wolf that has jumped in front of me was countered by my〖Dragon Punch〗 .
The hit connected from the bottom, crushing its chin . The Mahaa wolf, face smashed, falls at my feet .
These guys sure are persistent .
I should evolve quickly so I can gain levels next time they come .
Are there still more nearby?
I listened carefully .
The large footsteps that should have turned to the other direction a little while ago, is it coming to me?
No, not to . . . . . . me .
Perhaps this is aimed in the same direction as me?
No way, is it heading to the village! ?
If it's like that, I need to quickly send Millia to the village, and then it is necessary to check the true nature of those footsteps after returning .
According to the circumstances a battle might break out too .
From the sound of the footsteps, it is certain that it is D-class or higher .
Perhaps it might even be C-class .
If it is stronger than the twin head, it’s impossible to defeat it alone .
Judging from the interval between the footsteps, there’s barely any speed…
In that case, is it possible for me to stop it from going to the village?
. . . . . . Right now, the information is insufficient .
Should I quickly take Millia to the village for the time being?
It is certain that I won't be able to do anything to the monster with her being here .
Summarizing my thoughts as I was ready to depart . . . . Just as I was thinking that, I felt the signs of a large amount of monsters .
Aah, geez!
More Mahaa wolves!
I don't want to deal with you guys any more .
They lost their vision when I defeated the advanced party, so did the main party come out to not lose sight of me?
I detect around five… a group of them .
I might inflict an injury on Millia if I fight poorly, and the huge monster might arrive by the time I’m done with them .
As for the direction of that huge monsters footsteps, as of right now it is still not changing .
If I just escape and go to the village, the crowd of Mahaa Wolves will surely follow .
Although it is not the worst case, it’s a situation in which I can't be optimistic .
The boss seems to considerably hate me .
As expected it was not really aiming at me, but it only came out seriously after having understood my character .
"Gaaaaa'!"
I ran in the opposite direction of the village, towards the coming road, barking loudly .
I already know what’s over there!
Come out quickly you Mahaa Wolves!
I can handle great numbers of enemies if I can use the geographical features like the cave again; I can also go on a rampage without reserve once I put Millia in a safe zone, so first and foremost I went to the force of the enemies .
By chance, there is a possibility that a high level Mahaa Wolf is mixed in too .
In response to my cries, I feel signs of movement .
They’re coming!
"Uhi, hihi, Hihihihihyi . . . . . . "
The forest is quiet except for the footsteps of the large monster, and the sound of distorted laughter .
It was hoarse, it feels rough, it feels dirty, weakened and exhausted .
It was a slender laughter that would likely disappear in the wind, but it's atmosphere, I felt, contained a condensed, intense malice .
Is it… human?
From the left and right, around the nearby trees, the Mahaa wolves appears .
One, two, three . . . . . . four .
And then, it slowly appears, a big Mahaa Wolf .
Moreover on top of it, was a man as skinny as a skeleton .
The man’s clothes were terribly soiled; torn and tattered rags clung to him
The sword attached to his waist was also completely rusted .
The eyes show a slight squint, combined together with the abnormal features, it makes me sick .
He held a mysterious globe made of soil in his arm .
What's . . . . . . That?
Or rather, just what is the meaning of this?
Although I was a bit late to notice because of the excessive change, I knew that guy .
The skeleton man riding on top of the Mahaa Wolf, is the person for whom Millia was searching: without a doubt it is Douz .
