Volume 3 Chapter 41 (2/2)

Right after finish, I iathered to use I dried the black pepper with alchemy, and then I crushed it After which, I then ate the meat of the undead snake with salt and black pepper Because of the tingling taste and smell, the already delicious meat became even more delicious From now on, my daily food will be quite luxurious

The Fourth Day

Thanks to the power ofCore And even that gloomy atical beasts outside the village I’lad I took the time to repair the walls

As I’ve taken and burned everything down except for randparents’ house, the place has e, so I think it’ll be better if I start referring to this place as the Corh

In any case, I’ve finished what I’ve coo back to Gimuru

I prepared whatever I needed to prepare, then when I went out, I blocked the gate of the village with earth ht the mimic slime out of the Dimension Home, and I ordered it to use Mimic to transform into a take ostrich

“I’ on you” [Ryouma]

“Kuke!” [Take Ostrich Slime]

When I called out to the mimic slime, what responded back was the cry of a mimicked take ostrich Mimic slimes reproduce even the actual body of the creature they are ain the full five senses when they use Mimic Because of that, they would soiven the, ‘what’s next’

Back to the Main Topic

After I had confir is h, I suppose

In these past three days, I’ve been sending the undead off, and have been cleaning the wreckages When I finally ran out of ated thethem let et so more opportunities for them to train

The impetus behind that is that when I saw the ht to myself, couldn’t I ride that? And so, I tested it out, and I found out that the leg strength of the take ostrich was actually really strong It was able to let me ride it and run fast at the sa it, but it’s still plenty fast, so there’s no problem on that front

The feathers of the take ostrich were ht it to be I also didn’t receive any discomfort when I rode it Moreover, the e skill, so riding over it was actually quite comfortable Also, the mimic slime is different froue, so I couldn’t overdo it Thanks to the take ostrich, the way back has gotten a lot easier

“Go!” [Ryouma]

“Kuke!” [Mimicked Take Ostrich]

The take ostrich rocketed off athorse within the dense forest

…It’s fast, but I’ll definitely have to put a saddle over it once I get back It wouldn’t be nice if I fell after all If this were a horse, I’m confident that I’d be able to find a saddle for it so the way But because it’s a take ostrich, I’ll have to look for a saddle that’s meant for ostrich use If I find one, I’ll buy it

Around an hour after departing

The ical beasts that attacked me from time to time were paralyzed by my Paralyze Mist and scattered by the speed of the mimic slio Around this ti tired, so I let it rest inside the Dimension Home

I didn’t think it would actually be able to keep that pace up while carryingstrength of the take ostrich Their speed isn’t just explosive, it can also last for extended periods

It would normally have taken four hours even without any undead, but thanks to the et to the lake noith just a little more walk

As I thought that, I walked And when I neared the lake, I noticed the presence and sound of so around the lake Immediately, I used Hide to hide my presence, then I went out to see what the fuss was about

What entered ht were two cannon ball rhinoses One of the, a cannon ball rhinos with a body bigger than the average cannon ball rhinos Fighting against that cannon ball rhinos was a tiny, one-ht of as a child…

…This fight’s no good The bigger cannon ball rhinos isn’tthe other cannon ball rhinos only to be bloay But it won’t give up It stands up iain The difference in physique is too big, at this rate, the smaller one won’t have a chance to win at all

Still… Why on earth is that s one? It’s already wounded all over, and yet it keeps desperately charging against that bigger…!?

As I continued to watch the cannon ball rhinoses, I suddenly felt so forat e it

What caue that looked like it had a sharp arrowhead attached to it Following back the direction where it caue could be seen growing on one of its branches

Unsheathing my sword, I headed toward the tree, and I cut off the place slightly above where the tongue was growing from When I did so, blood spurted out of a part of the tree, and that soone flying at ue of an anchor chaood opportunity to attack as I was caught up watching the cannon ball rhinoses

Thinking that to myself, I suddenly remembered the cannon ball rhinoses, so I turned to see how they were doing

“………” [Both Rhinoses]

“Ah”

Our eyes met Looks like they noticedtoward the two rhinos which are both in front of the lake The bigger one is situated diagonally to onally to my left They both turned toward me

…I’m not an enemy, you know~

“KUOoOOoO!!!!!!” [Rhinos]

“Wh–!?” [Ryouma]

After a few er rhinos suddenly took a 180 from its previous behavior as it bellowed out a war cry, and charged toward me

Not good!

Iming the charge The bigger rhino that had charged toward ainst a tree

The tree bent at the i fro after, sounds of breaking apart resounded, and the tree coround to shake

“I’ll definitely dodge it if it comes from the f– woah!” [Ryouma]

That was dangerous!

I had er one, but the s too!

As I ondering whether I had to fight them both at the same time, it suddenly occurred todown

For athere wereafter, I noticed that they were already dead Fro a fight with the bigger one

Those two rhinoses were probably the smaller one’s parents

As I was thinking that to er one turned toward ain Stepping to the side, I dodged it And then just as I tried to slash it–––

“!? It’s tougher than I thought” [Ryouma]

That pretty much summed up what it felt like when I hit it Sure, I did hear that its skin was tough, but h it All it did was cut through the rhinos’ fur, leaving only a shallow cut over the rhinos’ body It didn’t even bleed a drop This is the first tiot to this world, so I’m a bit surprised

The attacks of the rhinoses’ are linear, so I can just dodge theic power they release before they start the charge But at the same tietting any better… There is that ada it?

No, it’s dangerous to use an unfamiliar weapon I haven’t even practiced with If it were just a raptor, then it wouldn’t matter much, but this are cannon ball rhinoses

But still… what’s up with toughness of their skin? I heard they used neutraltechnique aside fro one? Or could it be this hardness is just norst the bodies of the cannon ball rhinoses?

I kept my eyes fixed on the two rhinoses while I continued to think of a way to deal with them
