Chapter 72: Shaman vs Goma

“――Soo, I guess it’s time”

A fe curses and a lot of practice later, I finally decided to depart from the Fairy SquareI’d done all I could hereNow, I’ll be putting it all to practice

“Alright! Let’s go, Rem!”

“GAGAA!”

Spiritedly shouted Reht Mantis parts

Reborn fro I could scavenge from the mantis, a whole new Rem stood by my side

First of, off with the previous spiky Arreen armor now covered her black skeleton

But wait, there’s ht Mantis’ sickleTucked into the elbohen idle, Re out for battle and be wielded just like a sword! Pretty much like a mecha

The sickle resized itself to be adapted for Rem’s body, which is as tall (or short) astheability

This time’s Rem, seemed to look more confidentThe entirethe htly weaker than the arer

While Re as Mei-chan, she was still

Most ih, with Rem around, I won’t feel too lonely

Otherwise, I o crazy after a whileIf I was ever actually left for dead on an island, I’ a volleyball into my friend…

Disaster scenarios aside, having Reeon with me, I felt better, but still uneasy

Reuard, while I took the rearThis part of the dungeon was stone, so it was lit from aboveNo need for me to use the knife as a torch, but I still kept it on my waist, should the need arise to draw it at anytime

“Please, just let there be skeletons or soer”

I’d only ever practiced with un wooden dummiesI was still a combat noob, I’d rather test those sweet new et roflstoht Mantis

The more I walked, the more my confidence left me

It felt like a lot of time had already passed

My G-Shock said it’d only been an hour or soDuring that tiet to a wide corridor, dotted with stone pillars here and there, and even a forest doht

“Hey, maybe Soumkun killed them all off”

Following the co to usHe got to the insect cave from the Cerberus boss’ room

The dungeon has ht just be ways further doithout transfer circlesThe coit through another path

If I worry about how et is a headache, since all the routes must be connected one way or another

“GA!”

Right then, Rem stopped

“… What is it?”

Nothing in sightLooks like Rem could sense them from a distance

“GAGA”

“Follow you? Okay”

We were going there anyway, so whateverWe were at a large curving corridorThe wide passageway had thick columns at fixed intervals similar to temples

Rem went first, and hid behind a coluns of enemies nearby

“This sounds like, Gomas”

Their shouts still sound like gibberish to me, but they seem excited

Is it a fight or a hunt? I moved closer

“They’re hunting down Ants”

Fro 3 pawn

AntsThe floor got a new paint job, with blood and corpses

Three Gomas were down and one of the pawn Ants had been skewered

Neither ca on their hot blooded battle

“So even the smallfry duke it out sometimes”

It still seeical

In games, monsters and the demon lord’s armies were united to stick it to the hero sideways, and the hues out of their bookNot that that much work is put to breathe life into them anywayThey were, after all, row

But this here was real life, and thosecreaturesGomas had their settlements, and pawn Antsa different species around

A bit of a solace in this shi+t hole, to think everything is not out to get you alone

“This, is a chance”

When 2 dogs are fighting over a bone, a third one will carry it away

Gohtly o for trouble

“Good, keep on killing each other”

On the other hand, if I let them thin out each other’s numbers, I could just rush at the reomas are numerous, but they’re individually weak and poorly equippedSo around unlit torches

That being said, although they were still se claws andinsect type monsters

The disparity in fighting force is obviousBut no ets the short end of the stick, most of them will be dead, or dead tired if lucky

So, I watch on… 15later, it was over

“Gruooohhh, Graaaggghhh!!”

“Nbaaa, Nbaaaa!”

The Go power disparity couldn’t offset the difference of nuhter of the Ants

That being said, the Gomas still had a run for their money, with only 6 survivorsOne was mortally wounded, 3 moderately injured, and only 2 were unhurt

“Geba! Gooza, Juba!”

The survivors revel in their victoryOr at least, those that still could, the gravely injured one had drawn its last breath

“Alright, Reo finish the job”

No one atching their surroundings as they looted the corpses off their

Total noobsI wonder how did they survive in here? Of course, we’re crashi+ng their partyFree kill, I guess

“Entwine its escape, eaving hair――”

ConcentrateI’d already simulated how this’ll play outBut there were still 5 of themIf I fuck up, no matter hoeak and stupid they are, they can totally pwn us with zerg tactics

I gotta run theh quickly, quietly, and accurately

“Twine into hairs, O rotten red, become thread which violates flesh and bone――”

I was chanting 2 curses simultaneously, but that was only feasible because they both stein

In ht hand was the all too fa as the main weapon

In my left hand, to use witha stone

“―― Blackhair Bind, Redhair Twine”

As the two curses cale braid―― no, they were already knitting themselves into a rope

As for the way Blackhair Bind knit itself into a rope, I had already wanted to ih the way they were braided into before had enough perforht that they’d be sturdier if they were braided into a more rope-like form

Apart from any other small improvements, I had to first understand the structure and process of the braiding method, it was tedious so I had postponed any experimentsI just couldn’t make time for it with the others around

That’s hen I started soloing, I had

had h tih I had no genuine rope to use as reference, I used shoelaces and other rope-like objects that I got from my spoils and used themIt was a very cumbersome and tedious process, it also took up ht it would

Well because of that, I had been able to create a sturdy makeshi+ft rope, and with the Red Knife this new and improved Blackhair Bind had turned into a flame-tipped tentacle

The rope improvement also applied to the Redhair Twine

The acidic properties of the Rotten Bog are also applied without the need to put down a bog, it was automatically applied from the moment it was cast out froinated from my Black Bloodline in the first place

Because it is acidic, I can’t attach any weapons on it like with the Blackhair BindThe hilt would melt, and it’d quickly deteriorate the weapon, so for noays, I can only let the blackhairs equip any weapons

Well since the redhairs were basically weapons the the if they had so attached to the tips

So I used stones that wouldn’t e is somewhat like a YoYoBy the way, back in elementary school, there was a time when everyone all had the YoYo-fever, and we all constantly played with theood at it too, if I do say so myself
