─ ─ About thirty minutes later.
"Too many dog-heads!?
I shook my spear and screamed. At this moment, the dog-headed man (Kobolt) was slaughtered, but until now, he had encountered and defeated more than ten dog-headed men (Kobolt).
And this wasn't the end.
"Hey, Gram! What's next!?
"One from the front right! Then another one from directly beside!!
The dog-head (Kobolt) appeared later and attacked me. No matter how weak a dog-headed person (covolt) falls into the category by itself, it has not accumulated in a wave-like manner.
"Damn it! I wish I had left without saying an hour!
"It's too late to regret it! Move your hands! We're going to follow the same path they took behind the woods!
"Don't tell me that, because my sanity will be scraped!
I'm surrounded by blood from a desperate doghead (Covolt) and the ground is red stained. Even so, there are hardly any bodies of the dog-head (Covolt).
The reason is that some of the invading dog-heads (Kobolt) suck their dead companions (Kobolt) back into the forest instead of me.
At first I wondered what I was doing, but at one point I witnessed it.
The corpse of the dead head man (Kobolt) is being devoured by the same kind of head man (Kobolt).
He even spared the trouble of carrying it into the woods, poking his teeth at his friends on the spot, chewing meat and crushing bones.
In other words, the corpse of the head man (Kobolt) who was taken to the back of the forest was also eaten by the head man (Kobolt), who was supposed to be his companion.
I imagined the scene, and it was not only physical but also mental.
"What is this? What is this? What is this? What is this?
"Three-stage utilization!?... surprisingly affordable partner."
"Fuck you, I'm going to smash you in the furnace!!
"Sometimes it's unreasonable, you buddy!?
What an exchange, the nightmarish battle of mass-producing food for the Inu-head (Kobolt) continues for a while.
The wave of raids finally subsided when the dog-headed man (Covolt) bled into misery as far as the eye could see.
It's not just blood that's scattered around, but the guts of the dog-head (Kobolt) are already miserable anyway. When I walked to a place that wasn't stained with blood, I lowered my hips to the ground so that I almost fell.
"Hey, take a break... it's really hard. Mostly spiritual."
"There will be another big tsunami (Big Wave) of the Inu-head (Kobolt) over time. I won't rest long."
Wow.
While agreeing with Gram, I take a slow breath trying to get my rough breath ready. I'm glad my sense of smell was paralyzed. Otherwise, along with the grotesque sight that spreads in front of me, it looks like it will rip out the contents of your stomach.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Oh, my God. Stampets are starting to happen."
Sumpy?
Tilt your neck to a word you are unfamiliar with.
─ ─ Urban Beast Runaway (Stampede).
It refers to a phenomenon that occurs when an Urban Beast (monster) swells to an unusual number in a given area.
It's not like there are any specific evil beasts (monsters), but if there are too many evil beasts (monsters), this evil beast runaway (Stampede) will occur.
I listened to Gram, but I leaned my neck again.
"Runaway... you want to get a little off your feet?
You want the bad guys to form a gang and exude a young impulse without a place to go?
"That's not true. The cause is food."
There are various factors that increase the population of the Urban Beast (Monster). However, as the number increases, there is always an accelerating increase in consumption and consequently a shortage.
The Urban Beast (Monster) is also a creature, so it is absolutely necessary. That's food.
"Originally, when the number of individuals has increased too much, it will remain a temporary phenomenon. In the end, more individuals will be full of food, and most of them will starve to death. So it's probably not a serious situation. Until now, there was a lot of dressy food around here."
"... Bikrat?"
"That's right."
There was a large amount of food (Bickrat) in this forest to keep individuals who would have starved to death alive.
And the canine heads (covolts) who were supposed to die also engaged in further reproduction, resulting in the birth of a large number of canine heads (covolts).
"Stampede is a group of hungry Eagles trying to feed themselves."
Too many dog-heads (covolts) ate the roots out of the Big Rat. And by the drastic decline in food, there was a sharp increase in the number of dogheads (covolts) who were on the contrary exposed to hunger and became more violent than usual.
"Maybe I'm just..."
"It's a treat for a dog-headed man who was hungry and about to go insane."
The sight of the Inu-head (Kobolt) devouring his companions again gave me a shock. If anything, it might have been me, not the Kobolt.
"Could the Kobolt have pulled one end?"
"The dog-head (Kobolt) that my partner killed must have been fed to other dog-heads (Kobolt) instead of food. That's why I didn't have to attack my partner on purpose."
"Uhhhh...."
I'm a cattle squeezer.
