Chapter 22 (1/2)

Chapter 22 Unreasonable Threat

”As you said previously, are you seriously going to protect them?”

On the way to the place where Alice was attacked, the butcher speaks toto stick to my promises”

I promised to return once the viper has been defeated but I did not say that I will return immediately after

And so, I have e but instead head north towards the desert

I will roam the world and of course if I am alive then the there is a possibility that ill see each other again even though it is low

I feel sorry for Mira but ill never ain She was a valuable partner who I can talk with, she honestly talked to ood person

That is e should not be together I have no intention of binding Mira with things such as gratitude, it will only be an inconvenience if we decide to travel together

Mira will not be restricted if I, the person who she is waiting for, will not show up It cannot be helped but to unexpectedly detach myself this ti soer

”For now, let's just raise our level and evolve”

In fact, I can evolve into 2 different types

It was intended that I would e I want to evolve quickly since it is convenient

In addition, it I a from past evolutionary tendencies It is a favorable pace in this aspect as I can grow as fast as I can

I jumped a little bit as I noticed a s into its direction, I noticed that he went towards a strange place It is as Mira said, the trees are broken as far as the eye can see and the ground has turned black due to poison

A poison that can even erode the ground, Alice did well in surviving such a thing Norer even be a huhtly resistant to poison, I do not think that soet aith only that if you are not

”Well, it is a good thing that she is safe”

Whatever the reason oal to defeat the Viper still remains I may understand once I meet it directly but now it's time to find him

”You said that you cannot find it even when searching the surrounding area, does it mean that it moved to another place far away fro around finding clues

”You could say that, although it is also possible that it went underground I won't know until we find a clue”

Having said that, it hty After pushi+ng aside trees for some time, I found some scales which I saw earlier under the shade of a bush

I would not know if I do not look at it closely but it was like a guidepost If I follow this then I expect that I will encounter it

We carefully advance the chase, the clues unexpectedly broke off after a certain point

”Is it only up to here?”

Even after carefully looking around, we could not find anything anywhere There were no other clues anywhere and thus we have reached a dead end

Or perhaps it went underground here, if itthen it cannot be helped since it is impossible to reach The only conclusion at this point to wait for it to coround since it cannot be helped

”Butcher, is there anything else?”

When asked the butcher if it is no good,

”Maa, it's not like there isn't any good”

”Seriously?”

It is too convenient Soether which is just way too convenient

”Since there is meat then you can use it to attract uarantee that it is possible for the sround”

”What, you should have said it sooner if you have such a convenient ht my attention I madeup until now

”I dunno but I will only ask you one thingAfter you met me, is this the first time that you have used thisthat ti better? その間はなんだ、その間は)

If it is this fellow then I undstand the reason and that he did not intend to hide itI was just playing around and enjoying his reactions It is really bad

The angel rabbit was not in that place by accident, it is not wrong of ed it to bait me That seems to be more likely

I do not know about the truth but now is not the time to blame him Let's finish our job quickly

After the butcher installed the htly far away frooblin came over lured by the s it tiround cracked unnaturally and then a big snake ca I understand that is different just by seeing the status of the goblins

It would have been desirable if I fought it after I evolved into a neo sli by the tendency so far it should have enhanced poison resistance, though I cannot say for certain

There is no guarantee that ill meet next time if you escape here There is no choice but to kill it here

”Let's start”

Now is a good opportunity since it is distracted by the meat, there is no way to miss this chance

I extended my tentacles as fast as I could and tried to penetrate its body from behind It is unlikely that this sort of attack will hit this type of opponent in the back since there is a high probability that it will no longer be a surprise attack due to the problem of distance and speed

And besides a whip like blow on that body covered with scales would seeenerated at the tip of my tentacles I do not know if it works but, since you can adht stab or even a wound, then it should have an effect even with a small amount

It was but, at the moment the attack was about to hit the viper, it bent it's body with such dexterity that it barely evaded it The evasion was intended and not coincidence
