CH 63

I could barely sleep last night. Just lying down was already tiring for me but I couldn’t fall asleep. Well, of course. I couldn’t help but to be worried that the big snake I had barely managed to escape from might come chasing after us here. 

With dark circles on the bottom of my eyes, I fed and gave water to my livestock and Ash then I washed my face with cold water. 

After finally feeling refreshed, I was eating the breakfast I had just made when Ash suddenly started growling.

“What is it…?”

Even though I was in the middle of having breakfast, I let my food be and began donning on my weapons and armor. Then I scoured the surrounding area. 

KISHAAAAAA!!

GYAAAA!!

The giant snake I had been talking about since yesterday was rushing toward us. I picked Ash up, put him inside the shed and closed the door. 

“You need to stay quiet here, Ash.”

……..Yeah. This is the part where I’m going to die. 

I left the shed and pointed my bow toward the direction of the serpent. The serpent was about to enter the area where I had set the ankle snare traps at. 

KISSHAAAAAAAAA!!

The serpent was wriggling around, threatening me. 

Yeah. Definitely impossible. 

The serpent reached the spot where the ankle snare trap was. I could hear the crushing sound as the serpent trampled on the trap. The trap and the anesthetic poison didn’t seem to have any effect on the serpent. 

I used the arrow coated with paralyzing poison and used ‘Charge Arrow’ toward the serpent’s throat. 

BASHHHH! THUMP!

I was able to hit it and the serpent appeared to stop moving. 

Did I get it?

However, the serpent started moving again almost immediately and entered its poison breath stance. 

So this is how far I can go.

And then….

“○×▼□～◆!”

A group of adventurers I didn’t know came dashing in. The adventurers looked strong and there were 3 of them. 

A muscular tank type man wielding a big shield. A magician type woman and healer type woman.

The healer type woman cast auxiliary buff magic on the tank type man and the man put his shield up, preparing to block the serpent’s breath as the serpent raised its head and attacked him straight on. The serpent let out its deadly poisonous breath but somehow the man was able to withstand the attack. 

The healer type woman immediately cast healing magic onto the man and then the magician type woman, who had been chanting this whole time, screamed out loud. I couldn’t understand what she was saying but a huge tornado appeared. The tank type man jumped sideways to steer clear from the tornado’s path as the tornado hit the serpent. The serpent was torn into shreds due to the tornado attack. 

I was able to barely grip onto my life, which had been on the verge of disappearing. 

“Thank you.”

I thanked the party of three and gave paruna detoxifying potion to the tank type man. The three of them continued their way toward the town of Resta.

It was still noon but I was heavily sleep deprived and so, I went to the shed where Ash had been waiting for me and then I fell into deep sleep.

T/N: MAGIC SO OP IN HERE! Like for real, the magician’s tornado is an overkill! Now I’m excited to see how OP our MC will be when he finally learns magic because of his high INT stat!
