Chapter 5 (1/2)

It has been a week since I left the profoundly memorable home I spent seven years in together with Master Dolfares.

But, I’m still wandering in the Forest of Abyss.

「Hmph!」

When I brandish my bardiche, a head of a minitruck sized tiger flies into the air.

It’s apparently an A-rank monster called Forest Tiger.

Because I’m attacked so frequently, I defeat them without appraising and finding out their names and throw them straight into the item box.

「I think it would be a good time to come out of the forest soon, though」

A week quickly pa.s.sed since I entered the forest. I move approximately 40-50km a day, so I should have already walked more than 300km.

「The monsters appearing also get gradually weaker, I will surely come out soon」

The strongest monsters of this Forest of Abyss resided near the land surrounded by mountains I have lived in for some reason.

As I walked south more and more, I noticed that the monsters were gradually getting weaker.

One more thing, the magic element is getting thinner. It may be related to the monsters getting weaker.

It was really serious at the beginning of my travel.

The moment I managed to cross the high mountain with great difficulty, I was attacked by a wyvern all of sudden. After that, Earth Dragons and Chimeras, Evil Torrents which some were mimicking trees, and ridiculously large praying mantises exceeding 4m in size called Killer Mantis.

Earth Dragons are already just a slightly oversized skink lizards to me. I can defend against their breath with magical power barrier, their movements are slow because they are so big, they already have a large target over their bodies.

「Seriously, what is going on with this forest? The strength and size of the monsters in the depths of the forest is strange」

I understand that dragons are big, but gigantic insects are disgusting. Spiders and centipedes were especially disgusting. Centipedes were still fine even though they were big because they came at me individually, but the spiders were terrible since they attacked me in groups of three.

Well, I got used to that too.

But, in this one week, I have obtained various materials, so there are many things I want to make.

I think that the materials from the monsters of this forest are most likely valuable.

I understood this thanks to the smithing job and skill, but I have obtained plenty of rare materials used to create weapons and armor.

I want to make a proper armor, I’m interested in magic too. It might be a good idea to live as Blacksmith in some town.

My status has grown quite a lot too after entering the forest. It means it was that harsh.

I feel like it increased way too much just in one week’s time. The levels of the monsters I have encountered were large too.
