Chapter 44 (1/2)

44 Escape from despair

I survived.

I savor the joy in it.

I'm alive. What a wonderful thing.

Despair in my heart gradually erodes while I was thinking so.

What should I do from now on?

The nest was destroyed.

Completely destroyed.

I glance at the site of the attack that seemed to be a breath.

A huge crater was created on the wall there.

Haha.

It's funny.

Why is there a crater on the wall?

Isn't it that a crater is made when a meteorite falls to the ground?

Why is such a thing created on the vertical wall?

Moreover, this even penetrate the large rock.

It's funny, right?

Although I'm dumbfounded and defenseless, the bees never attack me.

Those guys might be scared of the Earth Dragon too.

Well, it's an overwhelming existence after all.

It's inevitable to be afraid of it.

Even I'm scared.

Really, what should I do from now on?

It's possible to break through the bees and return to the original passage.

This is only possible if I ignore the Earth Dragon.

This time, I was able to survive luckily.

However, if the same thing happens again, I don't think I can survive.

I think that the movement of the Earth Dragon shows that it clearly recognize the nest as a troublesome thing.

Otherwise, there's no way it will shoot such an attack.

In other words, the act to make a nest is more likely to be glared by the Earth Dragon in the future.

Then, I can't make the nest.

Or perhaps I should say that I can't do such thing because I'm scared.

My heart has already been broken.

I don't want to do something that can infuriate the Earth Dragon.

Even if it was a misunderstanding that the Earth Dragon break my nest without any great meaning.

Because it's an existence like that, there's a possibility that it attacked with that degree of recognition.

However, for the weak me, either way, the result won't change.

I will die if I come across the Earth Dragon.

That's all.

I succeeded in evading it twice.

I was blessed with good luck twice.

But, I don't think it's only good luck.

Did it not notice me who hid all the time?

I think so.

I want to think so.

Otherwise, I won't have the thing to rely on.

My only way to survive.

I will hide earnestly and somehow escape from this Earth Dragon's biosphere.

This is the only way.

The skill I can rely on is ”Stealth”.

Although I thought that it didn't seemed useful when I acquired it, it's my lifeline now.

The skill level is 5.

To be frank, it's slightly unreliable.
