4 Episode 5 Five Years Later

"Guu ... ah! Ah, guu, uuuuuuu!"

In the dark forest at noon, he moves his legs hard while desperately grabbing his torn right arm.

The terrible intense pain coming from the wound is likely to relieve consciousness.

But if you lose consciousness here, you will definitely die. be killed.

The screams spilling out of his mouth were also necessary spells to be conscious.

"Wow! Why is the King of Flies in such a place !?"

From behind is a giant monster that is three meters long. A type of demon called the King of Flies from its appearance.

It is incomparable to fantasy species such as dragons, giants, and demon gods with simple strength, but if it is still found, it is a disaster monster on the level where the regular knights will be dispatched immediately.

Tenth Class Adventurer-In other words, the lowest ranked adventurer can't win even if he stands upside down.

Urine for blood, sweat, tears, runny nose. Fear becomes body fluid and is discharged from the body.

From a bird's-eye view, it's a terrible thing. Although he was aware of this, the fear of being chased by a fly as large as a hill is inescapable.

The fear of death easily destroys self-control. While crying like a child, she could only escape.

It shouldn't have been like this.

Think while moving your feet hard.

Five years ago, after being expelled from his hometown, he became an adventurer.

As an adventurer, he was trying to slay demons, protect people, give his name, and get his father to be recognized.

At that time, if he had grown as he had envisioned, he would have been crossing the King of Flies with a fantastic sword.

But the reality is, as always, imposing the opposite result.

――No, in the current situation it was several times worse than that.

"Hey guys! They're stupid!"

Feelings separate from the fear of monsters rise from the back of the throat.

My right arm torn off. This was not a monster attack, but a human magic.

Those who attacked me with the magic of the wind blade disappeared long ago.

I have imagined that you might die by fighting monsters.

But in the future, I had never imagined it would be thrown away and killed.

I chose the adventurer's path to get my father's recognition, but that's not all.

The profession that best describes the philosophy of salvation and the best profession to wield the sword of the refugees was the adventurer. So he hit the gates of the adventurer's guild.

I wanted to be useful in the world. I wanted to be able to protect someone. I thought so and became an adventurer.

Is this the end?

Not much. Probably not.

I knew it, and when I was hiking, I heard a terrible, sinister vibration from behind.

If you look, the four wings that grew on the back of the King of Flies flutter violently. It seems that he escaped between the trees in the forest and boiled himself to the prey.

Considering the balance between the monster giant and the four feathers, the fly king's giant body floats lightly in the field of vision, though it should be impossible to fly.

The monster rushed like a shell through the uninterrupted air.

It was too late when I thought I had to do it.

Explosion A terrible roar and shock coming close.

I was thrown away by it and my body flew in the air like litter.

I didn't feel scary or painful. However, the feeling of floating that lasts forever is terrible.

That sensation continued until it was slammed on the ground.

"Ah ah ah !?"

After a brief moment, incredible pain circulates throughout the body.

He wandered crazy on muddy forest soil.

How long did it take for the pain to subside?

I noticed a lot of dirt in my mouth.

"... Agu! Gu!"

Spit the soil and get up.

However, as soon as he got up, the wound on his right arm swelled and his balance was lost.

As it was, I fell down on the soil I had exhaled.

The unpleasant touch sticks to the cheek. The stench of his own brim stings his nose.

"Oh ah ah ah! What, why?

This was the first time, and no matter what, I swear.

At that moment, he feels a chill in his spine and looks back.

-Surprisingly, there was a king of flies. The compound eyes of an unrecognizable insect are staring down at me.

I was horrified.

I noticed. The demon did not chase its prey, but merely hit it. If the other side wants to kill you, it must have been a piece of meat long ago.

The King of the Fly doesn't do that because he's waiting for his prey to weaken.

Suddenly, I remember the characteristics of the demon that I read in the material.

The king of flies seems to capture humans and large beasts alive and bring them to their nests, where they feed on larvae.

The danger of a fly king as a disaster monster is due to its phenomenal fertility.

Leaving the adults untouched creates countless larvae that quickly destroy the local ecosystem.

The ecosystem here includes that of human beings, and it was stated that in the past even a country has been destroyed.

If you catch the fly as it is, the larvae will be eaten alive.

"ぅ ぅ ぅ ぅ ...!"

I want to escape. However, his feet do not move because he is glared by a demon from a close distance.

The frog itself glared at the snake.

After seeing it, you may have decided that you have already weakened enough, and the demon approaches you sledgingly.

A scream leaks from the back of my throat.

The next moment, the tip of the sharp tail of the King of Flies pierced his side.

I peel my eyes around and fall down on the spot.

――Why did this happen?

Just before letting go of consciousness, such a question crossed my mind.
