Chapter 51 - Former S-class hunter takes another action (1/2)
Former S-class hunter takes another action
not at all…….
Like me, who didn’t notice, the Knights of Carneria, who are at the mercy of the hallucinatory magic of demons, are also Knights.
Then, the female knight didn’t recognize me as Zelet Winter because she was already under the control of Stardust Oaks.
If so, why didn’t they attack us at that time?
In any case, there is too little information. We are too ignorant of Stardust Oaks. I have to collect information first.
The opponent is neither a large army of 10,000 nor an S-rank monster.
A phantom A-rank monster.
After all there is no shortage for the other party.
“Wait!”
I don’t seem to have time to think about it.
From behind, the Knights of Carneria, led by Annette, were approaching like a storm.
The crotch is the backs of the monsters that represent the Greyhound and Etowafu forests.
Symbiosis between humans and monsters. If Marquis Henderone had seen this scene, she would have been crying happily.
“Eat it !!”
Annette draws a bow. She’s a dexterous one. She shoots an arrow from the back of a stirrup-free monster.
As expected, the accuracy of the hit was poor, only one touched my cheek.
She is a woman whose personality and behavior are troublesome. What should I do if I dodge her anyway?
Perhaps Stardust Oaks uses the magic of light to keep track of the movement of prey throughout this Etowafu forest.
Otherwise it would be difficult to track us.
“Zelet! Look at that !!”
Pamela clinging to Rir’s fluffy back raises her face.
What I saw was a large tree stump. There are a lot of green and red leaves on the side.
“This was planted by Zelet …”
“Oh … It was defeated by a monster.”
I thought it was the first attack, but I think it was aimed at the Gubagara tree.
It seems that the Gubagara tree is not good for Stardust Oaks.
And, probably, there must be some reason for this attack.
With the Gubagara tree ………….
“Smoke screen …”
I look back.
I saw the smoke screen we threw earlier fluttering toward the sky.
“That’s right …”
“Eh? Zelet, what? Are you worried about Rir’s performance? Are you tired?”
“No, that’s not the case.”
I understand it.
However, another piece is missing.
If my guess is correct, Stardust Oaks should be there. But I don’t know the purpose.
“Hey! What if we get caught by them?”
Pamela looks back.
Pamela’s complexion had already turned bad when she saw the Knights who changed their minds like the dead and the demons who forgot about themselves and went wild.
“A monster bait or can it be taken as a tribute to Stardust Oaks?”
“No, does Stardust Oaks have internal organs in the first place …”
Really.
I was careless. I seem to have forgotten what was important.
Considering the attributes and characteristics of Stardust Oaks, it’s easy to notice … Well, it seems that not only the shooting arm but also the rotation of the head slows down when moving away from the actual battle.
“Zelet, did you understand something?”
“I don’t understand”
“I’m a childhood friend. It’s natural.”
“Then, do you know what I’m thinking about next?”
“Hmm … I don’t want to think too much, but it’s a demonstration.”
“It’s nice. That’s right.”
“I really hit”
Pamela has a bitter smile.
“I’ll put on Rir and Prim. You’re enough as an escort. I’ll never hurt you. So —“
“Yeah. All right. Zelet, I believe you.”
“…………”
“What, that face. You said. We’re childhood friends, because I know that Zelet never broke his promise.”
“No rent delinquency”
“How about that?”
Oi. I’m sure I’ve never been delinquent.
“Let’s go … Please come back as soon as possible.”
“Don’t worry. It won’t take long.”
I take out the cannon sword.
And point the barrel toward the approx location, load the bullet, and pull the Trigger.
“I’ll be back……”
“Yeah. Come on.”
Pamela smiles and sees me off.
At that moment, I pulled the pistol grip. Fire blows up from the tip of the barrel in all directions.
The bullet goes straight to the ground and explodes. At that moment, the ground of the forest was greatly rolled up.
