Chapter 227: Toasty
“No, stay away…”
An old e hu a head was approaching hily tentacles with one being e at the tip
“The hell are you doing just sitting there?”
Theits thick rope-like tendril toward the old man that just froze in place Luckily for the ed to an adventurer This ht to the side and ready to pierce the monster’s head with a halberd while it was distracted
“These shi+ts are annoying, why are there so many of them?”
There was a thirdaxe to cleave another one of these creatures in half These monsters had just appeared all over the place, even in the restaurant these three were staying This event sparked widespread panic as everyone was running for their lives
“Thisin the village”
Orson, who delivered another attack on the downed monster, shouted While the humanoid creatures with tentacles for heads weren’t an exact copy of the Abyssal Aboe, the structure of their floppy appendages was soroup of adventurers also knew about the head parasites and were able to make an inforit infected by they bugs?”
Darlak looked at the defeated oop This was quite similar to what happened to the monster Loreena defeated which supported his claim
“Where did Senna and Wayland run off to and why does this shi+t keep happening whenever we are around hi the fiasco in the mines where he almost lost his life Their life after that encounter wasn’t nearly as deadly until they had a run-in with Roland once more Now after the third fiasco took place the two-handed swords to believe that his old acquaintance was cursed
“How ‘bout you stop whining like a little girl and kill some monsters instead?”
Grisalde shouted fro a bladed tentacle froone outside the restaurant as soe Abyssal creatures To not be stuck in a confined space with beings that flailed their strange appendages at high speeds they decided to ju for their lives along with some soldiers and other closeby adventurers
“They went tae that clocktower, tis nae far should we go thare or wait for em ‘ere?”
Dalrak used his shi+eld to back into one of the flailing e tower shi+eld it was difficult for the h his defenses With the round, it was easy to jab his spear into its body but soon he realized that poking anything other than the head would not causehere and waiting for the monsters to surround us…”
Orson replied while helping Darlak get rid of the Abyssal Spine Eater While they had left the restaurant to not be boxed in, the outside space wasn’t that much better There were a few options and one of them was to rendezvous with their other party members to bolster their forces
“Have you two made up your mind? I don’t care, we can just stay here, these bastards aren’t that hard to kill”
Their barbarian friend didn’t seem that i They were all below level one hundred and didn’t pose that h she would realize that the individual strength of these creatures was not what they should worry about
“Wait, what are those things doing?”
While looking towards the clock tohere Senna and Roland disappeared the group of three noticed a peculiar scene unfolding Even though soldiers and adventurers were trying to protect the non-co devoured by these Abyssal Spine Eaters
What Orson had noticed was a larger group of about ten feasting on the flesh of others Their tentacles slid into the dead bodies which soon after started drying up as if their vitality was leaving the this absorption technique started getting bigger and wider as if the th This was followed by a visible increase in the size of those Abyssal Spine Eaters
“Those things… Are they evolving?”
Evolution was so that happened to monsters when they reached a certain level threshold It was a slow process that was akin to leveling classes but without the troubleso a trial There were certain laws that governed theic of this world by reaching sruesoroup of adventurers It was as if these ainst people of the races gathered here Instead, they all flocked to one location where the pile of corpses was increasing
Their es sunk into all that s appeared and practically tossed the not only the dead people but each other as well, for more dastardly and similar to what the three adventurers ree
“shi+t… we must leave…”
“Aye…”
Dalrak and Orson were in agree they would be able to handle It was sihtmares Even if it was only a lesser evolved variant it wasn’t so they could easily combat in this open street where it could absorb more people to heal itself
“Wait, what’s that under the thing… a ic circle?”
Before they decided to ju circle with strange glowing runes under the ically inclined they had seen so for a wide-area attack a e could construct a circle froround before the spell took shape
“Hey, it took you long enough, are you two done with your honeymoon?”
“Shut your trap, you drunk bastard!”
Orson s fro It was clear to hied With the absence of any chants, it was obvious who the ic circle that was blue in color started shi+fting to orange and then quickly becaed around the area as a pillar of condensed flames appeared fro into the shape of a twister
The creature that was not forave out a wail of pain that sent shi+vers down everyone's spine Its tentacles started flailing around in every direction causing widespread da with Dalrak had to cover their faces as the stor tremendous wind
…
Roland stood there with his sword back in his scabbard It was replaced by the spell staff that allowed hi with him had returned to the restaurant to search for their friends only to encounter e monsters They didn’t pose much of a probleuards and co out a few they arrived where Orson and the others were While the group of three seee proble with each other andHe was able to use his identification skill to analyze the creature's name
<tbody>Lesser Abyssal Abo had not fully formed when he arrived at his destination Roland had seen the tier 3 version in action but even a lesser variant was probably deadly Theas hastily as the one back at the village and it would not be able to finish the transformation
Thus he decided to apply one of his runic spells The spell he was using was called ‘Firestorether By feeding it more air the flaeted area to increase the temperature
