40 Episode 39

One, two, three, four ... The number of corpses found continues to increase over time.

The total number of "Reaper's Scythe" is eleven. Three of them escaped to the city ahead of the others, leaving only eight. Half of them have already passed away.

There were various deaths.

A person who has lost half of his face in a direct hit with venom.

A person whose hips are cut in half with claws or something.

Blood-spitting A person who bends his neck at an impossible angle and scatters.

A person whose whole body is like a crushed frog.

Perhaps the third was broken off with a powerful tail blow, and the fourth was crushed to the ground with a rocky giant.

Whenever he found any corpses, there were signs of corruption around him.

At this point, the enemy is almost certainly a basilisk. Given the condition of the body, it was likely that we were attacked shortly after we left for Ishka.

If I had a little more time to prepare for withdrawal, I might have been attacked by Basilisk.

While thinking about that, he discovered two more dead bodies.

Did he fall down to cover his friends? Both are dissolved in more than half of the body in the spitting venom.

The puddle of the venom of the beast and the human flesh melted together, producing a terrible stench. The rising poison stings the nose. Tears bleed.

Go ahead avoiding puddles.

And within a hundred steps, I saw a more tragic sight than I had now.

-In short, it was a sea of blood.

The ground is scoured, the grass is shredded, and the trees are broken, demonstrating a fierce battle. And blood, blood, blood splattered on all of them.

What exactly can be done to spread blood like this? Such a question was bloody enough to cross my head.

A mass of red-black flesh scattered in the sea of blood.

The largest chunk of meat was just about the size of a human torso.

With that in mind, you can see the clothes covered with blood and mud. I also remembered the iron equipment that was covered with long and thin chunks of meat scattered around.

They are the end of the human being, once called Pery.

"... did you miss it?"

Chi, and the tongue leaks.

Judging that he could not escape any more, he met Basilisk here and returned.

It is highly likely that the last person was killed here.

With that in mind, I examined the surrounding meat chunks and frowned on the first one.

Because it was not covered with scales, it seemed to be human.

"Is this a leg of the Basilisk? One, two, three ...

Pery's achievement?

This raging situation may be the result of a terrible rise in the basilisk following a painful counterattack.

Check the number of meat blocks again.

The number is small, if two people were killed. Pery is confirmed by the size of the body, but another may be running away-well, maybe even eaten by a basilisk.

"I don't want to go back without any achievements. Look for a little more. And it seems that the Basilisk has also been pretty badly wounded.

Basilisk rampage. The monsters run away. Ishka is attacked.

It will be such a flow at all.

Now, for example, a herd of manticores that I had encountered in the woods before. I guess that was a group that was evacuated by Basilisk.

If the beasts of that hand appear on the outer periphery, they will not be able to collect herbs.

When I was about to leave this place, suddenly the nearby bush shook sharply.

She jumps off the spot reflexively and holds a black sword at the bush.

There was no sign of a demon ... but honestly, the feeling was not working well due to the exuberant blood smell.

I was nervous thinking there was a basilisk, but it was strange that it didn't show up at all.

Judging from the state of the corpse so far, I think that it is a type that considers humans as food and attacks mercilessly ...

As the strange stagnation persists, I suddenly realize that there is a possibility, so I carefully search through the bushes.

So, he found his last one in the Grim Reaper's Scythe, with a pale face and closed eyes, closing his mouth and shaking his body.

◆◆◆

Indigo then I called back to the ground and put the survivors of Reaper's Scythe on the saddle.

However, only one person can carry it. I remain in the forest as it is. I tell Wyvern that I can take a break if I send the survivors to Ishka.

According to his surviving story, Pery was the first to fight the invading Basilisk and injured.

The decoy Perry did not escape to this point with his subordinates, but his men managed to escape the leader.

Death's Scythe fought to protect the poisoned Pery, but was killed by one and one other monster, and was finally cornered here.

Pery, now determined to be so far, hides the last surviving subordinate in the bush and challenges his basilisk with desperation-killed in exchange for three legs.

To relieve his injured anger, Basilisk ran wildly over Falli's body. The misery of this place is that.

And then, Basilisk tried to eat Perily, but suddenly stopped as if he noticed something.

It seemed that the Basilisk, spitting out the body of Pery's mouth, had run away to the north without realizing or ignoring the hidden human.

The survivor, who spoke a series of trembling voices, crumpled in regret after killing the leader.

On the other hand, I don't say any words. What can I say to me I just met today? Leave the follow-up to your deputy director.

I decided to pursue the basilisk of leaving north. Pery's wounds are probably the best opportunity to defeat the serpent king.

I also care about "something" where the Basilisk drew attention.

Heel I saw off Wyvern, which flew to Ishka, and returned immediately, and ran just north.
