Volume 3 Chapter 36 (1/2)

TL Note: A chapter will be posted on Wed It'll be an extra chapter, but it won't count against the queue since I still owe you guys a free chapter

Voluot back to Gi and preparing When I finally left, the trip southeast to the Great Forest of Shurus took me 17 days all in all As of now, it is the 2nd afternoon since I’ve began to move within the Great Forest of Shurus

The path I’ is an animal trail There is also a road here as there are adventurers that go through here, but it’s narrow and isn’t being maintained

Just as the name, the Great Forest of Shurus, implies, the area here is full of trees covered by vines,it difficult to see This is probably theenemies There are just too many trees and thickets, and the shadow they cast s

“I’h this certainly is the most difficult trip I’vethe way, but because they don’t have the Eternal Darkness insect repellant, they were all greatly affected by the insects and leeches of the Great Forest of Shurus

The Eternal Darkness insect repellant is sorandmother developed when she was confined here It’s not soet their hands on It’s thanks to Gayn’s group that I’m able to have such an easy time here in the Great Forest

For normal adventurers, they have to buy an insect repellant from the market But those ones can only work on insects and not leeches Moreover, the repellant can be diluted by sweat, so overtime its effect ear off And the adventurer will have to rub it all over his body again

“And with an environment like this, it’s impossible not to sweat” [Ryoule There are leeches and the hu in such an environment, it’s only natural to sweat And all the adventurers I’ve passed by are proof of that They were all sweating On top of that, they had a unique stench fro

I hope I don’t ht that to

For the record, it’s not because they stink that I don’t want tothat they can help The reason I don’t want to meet them is because I don’t like the way they look at erous area littered with erous area, a kid likeNaturally, whenever those adventurers seeof iven the situation, it’s only norht?

The Great Forest of Shurus isn’t blocked by any sort of fence, so even low ranked adventurers can enter it There’s no guarantee that one will keep their life while in the forest, so other adventurers will always scold low-ranked adventurers whenever they spot one It’s because of that that I raisedthis quest

But even then, when I stopped by a village last night… Actually, rather than a village, I guess it’s closer to a base cao back

Of course, in a situation like that, I decided to show theuild card to prove that I was already a C Rank adventurer But although it’s true that being a C Rank meant I had some power, it’s also true that there are differences in power a in C Rank at such a young age caused many to become jealous They tried to hide it, sure, but it still showed in the way they talked There were also those who didn’t show jealousy, but the fact thata cause for many adventurers’ jealousy is undeniable In fact, I was even jeered at this ot where when I passed by soe I don’t kno ible to enter this forest, but while I was explaining to theether with the six of the wayboorish like call the as I do think that they could have dealt with the raptors even without me, but their pride was still visibly hurt I didn’t want to bother myself with them, but the people that were hurt and the people that were coave a feords to the people jeering atthem, and then left

Can’t say I’m a fan of situations like those, but it’s iood, but it’s not so I can’t handle Besides I don’t think I’ll need to endure much while in the Great Forest, so I just let it slide

It’s not the first for me anyway In my previous life I’ve had many situations like these ones And back then I was able to ignore them Of course, the situation then was a bit different in that instead of jealousy, I was looked down on, but my response is the sa of which, I’ative emotions As for why it’s because of the influence of the deet stressed whenever hit by negative e on how he receives it, he could resist it, throw it away, or even worry about it That’s normal I doubt there aredespite being the target of another’s ill will

But for soments, it’s a bit different in that that person is ative ehtened sensitivity that I find so exhausting More than likely it was purposely made that way to weaken the heart, and speed up the corrosion

I’ve already heard of this fro to theh such that it won’t affect the way I look at people or the way I speak If it wasn’t for their help, the dement would have already affected my day-to-day life

“Anyway, there’s notI can do anything about after all More than that…” [Ryouma]

“Gyaa!” [Monster]

I calmly reached for the katana by ical beast leaned out of the thickets on the right, sweeping with the claws on its forelegs

With a step back, I dodged the claws of the beast Then as I turned toward ht, I drew ated it But I can still feel the presence oftheir presence because they wanted to take ave up on the a at me at full force

“Gurururu…” [Monster 1]

“Gya! Gya!” [Monster 2]

“Gii!” [Monster 3]

The ht now are known as Raptor They are a little smaller than horses and are similar to dinosaurs in their appearance They run with their two hind-legs And being a little sroups

The raptors are ical beasts known for their numbers as well as their many various species But the kind of raptors that can be seen in the Great Forest of Shurus could be said to be perfect for the area Their bodies are sreen, allowing the like a natural ca surrounded by 30 raptors, I’ to the order of their attacks

The herd of raptors surrounded me, and attacked ed them as I leisurely lopped their heads off

As their heads flew one after another, their corpses gradually littered the surrounding area, piling up atop one another When they realized winning wasn’t possible, the herd of dinosaurs scattered in all directions like baby spiders

“Nine raptors before they finally ran away, huh? I guess their heads really are good” [Ryouoblins just now, they would have attacked regardless of how many of their comrades died Compared to that, the raptors were certainly smarter Anyway, I should retrieve these piled up corpses now It’s not good to waste the corpses of beasts

“’Di alert of rave sli the grave slime’s abilities, I found out that its Enshrine Remains skill is able to retrieve not only the corpses of undeadMoreover, it also has the effect of keeping the bodies fro
