30 Episode 25 I heard shouting.

"Well, I've talked to you a little bit, but how's your health?

"I've recovered enough. I wanted to get out of here for a minute and a second."

Now I'm in the doghead's feeding grounds. If you get attacked at the same time by more than the number that just arrived, it's dangerous this time. I stood up with my spear on my back. I kept it in my hand so I could pick it up whenever I was attacked.

I noticed something after listening to Gram's explanation.

Hey gram. Is it my fault that the Stampede ran off?

The number of Big Rats I hunted in this forest is quite large. It would be enough to say "abnormal".

If Stampede is going to trigger the Eagle's food shortage, I'm definitely the one who's in charge.

No, not necessarily.

But Gram's answer was against my expectations.

"Sure, it wasn't long before the Werewolf ran off (Stampede). But even with my partner's intervention, things can't get any worse so quickly. Probably...."

─ ─ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

A roar roared from the back of the forest to block Gram's words. The noise seemed to be accompanied by even a shock, and the grass leaves shook deliberately.

"Whoa, what a rumor."

"Hey, that was ─ ─"

"I'll explain later. Better run, buddy." That "is not in the hands of my current partner. It's a species of life, no matter what."

The moment I heard the scream, I felt as if I had been eagled at my heart. The part of me that is a pure creature sounds alarming.

Gram is right, it would be better to leave this place as soon as possible.

For my own sake.

"... wait a minute, I'm sure it's that way"

I looked in the direction where I could hear the shouting.

I'm going now. If you're in trouble here, the sun will go down. "

The last conversation comes back to mind. She went in exactly that direction afterwards, didn't she?

I'm happy to remember the word "investigation" she leaked here.

"Maybe I asked Silver Flash to do it."

"A second-class mercenary is out in the woods. He must have come to investigate the signs of the Unbeast runaway."

I looked to the back of the forest.

"Stop it. The Lord of that shouting is beyond the reach of the lower mercenaries. The union was right to send a skilled secondary mercenary just in case."

……………………

"Hey buddy!?

I was running to the back of the woods in the direction where I heard shouting.

"Did you hear that, buddy?! Even if your new mercenary partner goes there, it'll only taste good! Turn around!!"

Even though I could hear Gram's desperate voice, the "impulse" swirling in my chest repelled all of it and rushed my feet.

"─ ─ ─ ─ This is..."

When I arrived there, a large number of dogheads (covolts) first popped into my eyes.

In the vortex, the fox-eared beast appeared as expected ─ ─ silver flash. A mutilated dog-head (Covolt) was thrown away around her.

And there was one on her side that far exceeded my expectations.

Simply looking at the appearance, the dog-head (Kobolt) himself. However, if the Inu-head (Covolt) was about half the size of a human, the Inu-head (Covolt) facing Silver Flash was much bigger than her.

"'King of Inu-heads (Kobolt King)'... I knew it!"

Gram was crushing to convince himself.

"As I said earlier, I was stepping on the idea that the Unbeast runaway (Stampede) would be more serious later. Even if my partner was cutting down on Big Rats, which are their food. That's why I thought it would be a little sticky in the woods..."

"But it's not actually happening."

That's what's causing the bumps.

Covolt King is a very rare, suddenly born, special mutant species in the herd of dogheads.

It is far more powerful and powerful than the usual Inu-head (Kobolt) and becomes the "King" of the herd at the moment of its birth.

This is true of giants that grow far above other individuals, but what is most threatening is the ability to reproduce, which should also be called anomaly.

"The breeding of dogheads (covolts) takes about three months from pregnancy to childbirth. But the covolt king and the covolt king have been giving birth in less than a month since she was pregnant."

This means that breeding occurs at three times the pace compared to normal times.

This situation was caused by the fact that the canine (covolt) larvae were overflowing with acceptable bait (Bickrat) in the forest at a three-fold pace.

"Don't suck, buddy. Anyway, if Kobolt's eyes are on that big bug, he's definitely Buddha now."

"... they... Even though they're hiding, they're not looking at us."

"My nose is stupid because of the bloody smell of a silver-headed man (who wants to do it), and I think I'm concentrating on Silver-headed himself. It's convenient to learn from the shadows."

The dog-head (Kobolt), who is clearly winning on the number, keeps an eye on both in the middle and does not move. Fear would have prevailed over hunger and hostility by seeing the daring attacker turn into an unspeakable human remains in no time.

However, I wonder why Silver Flash didn't pull out his sword when he was opposed to the Bad Beast (monster). That beautiful slender sword now fits in the waist sheath. She is just putting her hand on the handle of the sword.

As he watched the situation hidden in the shade, the Covolt King began to move.

When you scream like you heard earlier, you wave your arm with sharp nails that are commensurate with the giant body.

Silver flashes do not appear particularly impatient, moving gently to the side to avoid the longitudinal line of the arm. The empty arm collides with the ground, spreading dust and dirt violently. The nails were poking deep into the earth, telling the story of its sharpness.

Silver flash that avoids the attack of the Urban Beast (Monster).

The silver light flashed for a moment on that side.

The next moment, blood splashes waited from the arm of the Covolt King. Looking closely, there was a straight line scar on the middle of the arm.
