Chapter 343: Coconut village and Nefert raid

Coconut Village was a village where firelight could be seen in places. As we approached, we could see the state of the village.

There was a distinctive smell of burning from the village. Houses were blackened and some were crumbling. Most of the coconut trees, which we were told were a specialty of the area, were burnt and blackened.

"Terrible..."

"It's too much..."

Lily and the others were bewildered by the devastation. It seems that the information is correct.

"...Nii. People are coming"

Nowa told me and when I turned around, I saw an old man with a cane walking toward me. He was probably the chief of this village.

"Are you a traveler?"

"Yes"

"Sorry...this village cannot afford to host travelers at this time...normally we would host them with our famous coconuts...but as you can see, we have lost everything"

"I hope you don't mind me saying...emm, I know this is hard for you...but would you mind telling me what happened?"

The old man sits on a stone.

"This village was attacked by bandits the other day...they came out of nowhere and fired arrows into the village"

And that's where the bandits are. I could understand if they were trying to scare them to get food or something, but...this attack is still strange. I could understand if they were bandit-like and just did it because they were pissed off, but I sense a plan.

"We lost our houses, our stockpiles of food and water...even our famous coconut trees were burned down..."

They lost it in the bandit attack...so the bandits' goal was not food or anything else and if they attacked the village and disappeared, it wasn't the village itself either. So what were they after?

"Umm...did the bandits only damage the village and its food?"

A chimera is a monster also known as a synthetic beast. I thought it could be summoned by synthetic summoning, but is that what it is?

There were other golems in armor, a white giant and a blue giant with a dangerous presence fighting it. Identification.

Armed Golem?

? ? ?

Homunculus?

? ? ?

A homunculus? Is that what that white giant is? I'm pretty sure that was the name of an artificial human created by an alchemist...but it's clearly not a person. And the blue giant is as expected.

Jin the Lamp Demon?

? ? ?

Anyway, I get my spear ready to fight and reduce the damage to the town. Then comes the infos. What is it? I haven't done anything yet, have I?

It is time for the event to end. Forced logout is now performed

Ah...today was the last day of the event! Oh no!

My body is disappearing...hey! Wait a minute! Just let me fight this one!

But no questions asked, I was forced to log out.

Waking up in my bed in reality, I involuntarily hit the bed.

"Damn!"

I've never been treated like this before...I looked at the time and sure enough, it was past midnight. It's my fault for not thinking of the time, but I can't get that scene out of my mind...it's going to take me a while to get to sleep. And I won't be able to log in tomorrow...that sucks.
