Chapter 51 - Former S-class hunter takes another action

Former S-class hunter takes another action

not at all…….

Like me, who didn’t notice, the Knights of Carneria, who are at the mercy of the hallucinatory magic of demons, are also Knights.

Then, the female knight didn’t recognize me as Zelet Winter because she was already under the control of Stardust Oaks.

If so, why didn’t they attack us at that time?

In any case, there is too little information. We are too ignorant of Stardust Oaks. I have to collect information first.

The opponent is neither a large army of 10,000 nor an S-rank monster.

A phantom A-rank monster.

After all there is no shortage for the other party.

“Wait!”

I don’t seem to have time to think about it.

From behind, the Knights of Carneria, led by Annette, were approaching like a storm.

The crotch is the backs of the monsters that represent the Greyhound and Etowafu forests.

Symbiosis between humans and monsters. If Marquis Henderone had seen this scene, she would have been crying happily.

“Eat it !!”

Annette draws a bow. She’s a dexterous one. She shoots an arrow from the back of a stirrup-free monster.

As expected, the accuracy of the hit was poor, only one touched my cheek.

She is a woman whose personality and behavior are troublesome. What should I do if I dodge her anyway?

Perhaps Stardust Oaks uses the magic of light to keep track of the movement of prey throughout this Etowafu forest.

Otherwise it would be difficult to track us.

“Zelet! Look at that !!”

Pamela clinging to Rir’s fluffy back raises her face.

What I saw was a large tree stump. There are a lot of green and red leaves on the side.

“This was planted by Zelet …”

“Oh … It was defeated by a monster.”

I thought it was the first attack, but I think it was aimed at the Gubagara tree.

It seems that the Gubagara tree is not good for Stardust Oaks.

And, probably, there must be some reason for this attack.

With the Gubagara tree ………….

“Smoke screen …”

I look back.

I saw the smoke screen we threw earlier fluttering toward the sky.

“That’s right …”

“Eh? Zelet, what? Are you worried about Rir’s performance? Are you tired?”

“No, that’s not the case.”

I understand it.

However, another piece is missing.

If my guess is correct, Stardust Oaks should be there. But I don’t know the purpose.

“Hey! What if we get caught by them?”

Pamela looks back.

Pamela’s complexion had already turned bad when she saw the Knights who changed their minds like the dead and the demons who forgot about themselves and went wild.

“A monster bait or can it be taken as a tribute to Stardust Oaks?”

“No, does Stardust Oaks have internal organs in the first place …”

Really.

I was careless. I seem to have forgotten what was important.

Considering the attributes and characteristics of Stardust Oaks, it’s easy to notice … Well, it seems that not only the shooting arm but also the rotation of the head slows down when moving away from the actual battle.

“Zelet, did you understand something?”

“I don’t understand”

“I’m a childhood friend. It’s natural.”

“Then, do you know what I’m thinking about next?”

“Hmm … I don’t want to think too much, but it’s a demonstration.”

“It’s nice. That’s right.”

“I really hit”

Pamela has a bitter smile.

“I’ll put on Rir and Prim. You’re enough as an escort. I’ll never hurt you. So —“

“Yeah. All right. Zelet, I believe you.”

“…………”

“What, that face. You said. We’re childhood friends, because I know that Zelet never broke his promise.”

“No rent delinquency”

“How about that?”

Oi. I’m sure I’ve never been delinquent.

“Let’s go … Please come back as soon as possible.”

“Don’t worry. It won’t take long.”

I take out the cannon sword.

And point the barrel toward the approx location, load the bullet, and pull the Trigger.

“I’ll be back……”

“Yeah. Come on.”

Pamela smiles and sees me off.

At that moment, I pulled the pistol grip. Fire blows up from the tip of the barrel in all directions.

The bullet goes straight to the ground and explodes. At that moment, the ground of the forest was greatly rolled up.

Smoke erupts and the field of vision is covered.

I jump into the smoke and go into the gaping hole.

The bottom of the forest ground is hollow, just like a mole cave spread out like a mesh like the traces that passed through.

It is a terrain peculiar to the Etowafu forest formed by the solidification of lava.

I held my breath for a while. Immediately after, I saw countless monsters running over the top. No one seems to have noticed me.

Probably the same with Stardust Oaks.

“After all …”

I took the cantera out of the tool bag and illuminated the dim cave.

“I can’t even detect Stardust Oaks in places where the light doesn’t reach.”

Perhaps Stardust Oaks has no senses.

Instead, it reacts very sensitively to light.Phototaxis That’s right It’s probably a monster. Moreover, the amount of information is much larger than that of Euglena, etc., and the accuracy is high.

Even in the woods, it’s easy to locate us wherever the light reaches.

However, it also means that Stardust Oaks cannot react if the light does not reach it if you turn it over.

I go through the darkness. The destination is a place where you can overlook this forest.

I headed north.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ Pamela perspective ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Wow Wow …

It’s embarrassing! It’s embarrassing! !!

It’s really embarrassing! !!

Dangerous! Dangerous! Palpitations do not stop. My face is hot and my ears are more pinned than ever. I don’t have to look in the mirror. What kind of face do I have now?

“Because I believe in Zelet”

“Welcome”

Am I a newly wed wife?

I was in a pinch and thought about it, but when I was calm, I was uttering embarrassing words.

But when this happens, I have no choice but to get hungry.

We have to hold on until Zelet comes to help.

“Let’s do our best, Prim”

I turn to the side.

Then Prim was also facing me.

Actually, I’m not very good at it, this child. It’s been a long time since she came into Zelet’s room, but I don’t know what she’s thinking.

Rather, it’s scarier to be alone with this child.

There is no reply from Prim.

When I thought about it, she turned her round eyes toward me while running sideways.

“I’m hungry……”

“What?”

“Wow. I found some big meat!”

Prim starts to drool.

From her eyes, humanity was already flying.

“No way …”

Prim is also being manipulated by Stardust Oaks! !!

could it be!

Or rather, it’s a miracle that we haven’t been manipulated until now.

Even the mighty Knights of the Kingdom of Carneria fell in its control.

It’s okay for Prim and I to have hallucinations.

“Let’s eat”

Prim opened her mouth and plunged towards me.

“Prim-san, no!”

I scream.

At the moment, Prim is blown away. The figure disappeared in a swarm of monsters chasing behind.

“Pr, Prim!

I screamed, but there was no reply.

I was more worried about Rir, who mercilessly kicked Prim with her hind limbs.

“No way … Rir is also in a hallucination ??”

impossible.

Zelet said that Rir is a light attribute. I want to believe that the magic of monsters with the same attributes cannot catch Rir, the holy beast.

But that’s just my wishful thinking.

Still, the possibility that Rir was out of control was not zero.

“Rir …”

Then Rir stopped.

Even now, the monsters are still chasing us …

“Rir! What’s wrong? Run! Otherwise, they can catch up!”

I scold.

Then Rir started to move.

In a different direction than before …

As if guided by something …

Naturally, the demons are chasing after us.

“Something is wrong …”

Seeing Rir running, I tilt my head.

Perhaps Rir really got into the hallucinations of Stardust Oaks.
