Volume 3 - CH 16

As soon as Cyclo left the cave, a being immediately noticed his presence.

Yes, it was the human-faced monster.

“Kukokokoh!”

“You’re disgusting!”

Cyclo instantly closed the distance and quickly generated an orichalcum sword.

He then slices the monster in two with a diagonal slash.

“Gyahh!?”

The monster lets out a desperate cry and instantly dies.

Naturally, the monster is not alone.

“Kukokoko!”

The monsters correctly recognized that this one was the enemy, not the prey.

One of them leaps toward Cyclo with all its might.

“–Hahaha, you’re too slow!!”

Cyclo had completely seen the movement of the monster, which he had been unable to even catch with his eyes in the past.

He uses the monster’s momentum to swing his orichalcum sword horizontally while nimbly dodging.

The monster was easily split in two. It was a quick end.

“Kukokoh!!”

“Kukoko-!”

The monsters realized that Cyclo was the overwhelmingly strong one.

After squealing several times as if communicating, they turned their backs to Cyclo and ran away.

“…… Hahaha. So now I’m in a position where I’m not the one running away, but they’re the ones running away from me.”

Muttering — Cyclo quickly turns around.

And as he turned around, he flashed his sword. The frog is cut in half.

A frog monster which had been mimicking a rock until a moment ago was there.

It attacked Cyclo as if to catch him by surprise, but Cyclo, making full use of his Clock Sensing effect, had detected the frog’s movement in advance.

Therefore, he easily reacted to the surprise attack from behind and was able to intercept it.

“That’s too bad, my Sensing is perfect. No matter how much you mimic — as long as your blood is flowing in your body, it’s impossible not to sense you.”

Cyclo muttered to himself, and launched another attack.

This time, he generates water and sand by clock generation, compresses them at ultra-high speed, and ejects them.

The blade of water, now in the state of a so-called water cutter, precisely pierces and cuts through the frog monsters that have been hiding under the guise of rocks.

In number, he accurately spotted as many as seven hidden monsters and destroyed them in an instant.

“…… Well. Let’s keep going at this rate.”

Thus, Cyclo was well on his way toward his goal of escaping from the dungeon.

(T/N: It stopped at a good part so I’ll add one more chapter. Thank you for reading.)
