The Preceding Hero Took a Blunder
The Basilisk is a peculiar dragon species whose staple food is things like the minerals that sleep in the ore veins and is actually a type of two-legged Wyvern
There is also an idea that it's not the minerals that they eat, but the miniscule amount of mana that is included within the minerals that they eat but this idea hasn't been proven
Maybe due to eating things like rown hard crystals on it
It's said that by eating these h purity within their bodies
You can tell the difference between male and female Basilisks by the color of the body and characteristics of parts of the body The ones that grow deep blue crystals on their bodies are female Basilisk whose bodily crystals are bluish violet and have a large crystal crest are on species that are easy to tell by appearance
On the Basilisk's body, in between the crystals, there exist fine thorns that look as if they were sewn in
It's been disputed over whether it's a variety of a kind of body hair but when stabbed by it, the one that was stabbed gets ravished by poison
A poison that leads to death, that it is not
However, that poison is a strong, effective enough nerve poison that can even paralyze other dragon species
If it's a dragon species or a strongunable to move for several hours
If it's to run away, if they have around that amount of time, it would suffice
However, when it hits a powerless human or a weak monster, the carried effect stays activated from a couple days to several weeks
And then, the powerless ones get eaten by the Basilisk
Though the poison and solid crystal armor are difficult opponents to handle, the battle ability of the Basilisk itself is lohen compared to monsters of the same level
While it is a dragon species, its wings have degenerated and becoon species' characteristic Breath
……However, there is only one ability that exists that is way too troublesoolden Sable Eye, it's said that those who meet eyes with it become, as the name says, petrified
That name is ”Wicked Eye of Petrification”
Being a type of Charathering others' interest to the wicked eye
Beco unable to look away………is a case that was also born from that
(If one has a high mana resistance, the charm effect will disappear, and the petrification will also end up at a level of feeling tremendously heavy and dull)
Due to these unique abilities, the Basilisk had been recorded by the guild as an A rank monster
Hey everyone The only one in the house, it's the strongest invincible preceding hero, Yashi+ro Yuu
is what I would usually like to start off with, but the situation won't let me
We're surrounded
We're surrounded by Basilisk
「This isn't anywhere like a pair, this is……!」
Tre-san, who I just put down,
That's right, this isn't anywhere like a pair In the first place, the nitude is different
Thinking there was going to be two……One, two, three………Umm, there are seventeen of them
Oi oi, isn't this different from what I was told?
Wasn't it supposed to be a pair?
Ah, but the since the amount wasn't specified………wouldn't this make it not a mistake?
At any rate, it was probably intentionally devised, this situation………But just for what reason and by who's suggestion?
The Luxeria royal family? ……I wonder about that I don't knohat Luxeria is thinking but, there would be no uild to create this situation If they kneas the preceding hero, they'd probably use me as the hero after all ……It would be a different story ifhero was an inconvenience but, if it was just as the princess said, they should have called on ………
That would leave the guild, huh? This one, I know even less about At first I thought that they made me take this pronearby, but in this situation, that probably isn't the case If I weren't the hero, in all certainty, I'd die by the first round
……In other words, far fro to kill me
Is it ineptitude on the guild's side? ……No, no, for arguuild's ineptitude, wouldn't the guild's creditability plummet?
So superseded by Orcs or other h class e concern I've heard that a high class oes careful examination, but……, can you really call this a careful examination?
Furthermore, this place is a distance that can be reached in three days by carriage from the capital
Supposing this Basilisk group sought food and headed for the capital, ould they do? They can't declare that it definitely wouldn't happen
Seeing as how I've heard that the only AA rank around it Tre-san, ere they really planning to do?
If I hadn't couild that took up residence in the capital would settle this without any dae――――
Thinking to this extent, ht
Ignore it, the need for it disappeared
Kachiri (Clink)
I guess you could say it was the sound of so else
Together with that s, the inside of my, Yashi+ro Yuu's head became clear to the point that even I was surprised by it
Just like how a model is made on top of a desk, how the desk, when in theit is disorderly with the utensils andof the model is done and only the cleared desk (my head) and the completed model (arrived at answer) remain, the inside of my head became clear
I see, I see If things are going just as ”Baba-chan” said three years ago, this situation can be explained ……She said she'd search for ”me” in the war, and yet, before that, she'd et it, it's pretty si」
(TL note: Feels weird to translate 婆 as old bag or hag and then put -chan after it so I will be leaving it as Baba-chan for now)
「Yu, Yuuya?」
Hn? Tre-san is looking atabout a lover?
……Fufu, if you stare at et burned, you know?
………Eh? Ah, yes ……Now I see, I just let my voice out ……Excuse me
「Well, now that I know the answer, this uys up and then I just have to file a complaint to ”Baba-chan”
That's right, Tre-san Could you hold on to her? It looks like she fainted」
Having carried her under one arm, I hand the fainted Lililuri, whose face was still pale and her body treht the Basilisk that were behind
「!……Th, this, is…!」
「Don't worry, Tre-san! Because, for both these guys behind s in order and finish everything up!」
Niya (Smile) As I interrupt Tre-san's words with a pretty boy face (inside myself), I stick my hand into the fourth di spear
「Ah~, ……For now, this is about the punishuys will be for ”Baba-chan”, 'kay?」
Me shouldering the short spear and the group of Basilisks co to attack happened at the same time
Gishaaaa!
Making a cracking cry that a hu a body whose size surpassed that of a lightweight truck, ran with a speed that even the eye couldn't keep up with, ju
