Chapter 59

– Adventurer Life Day 65 (Tue) – Morning – Olbia City – Plain Fields by the Palates, we had been walking for 30 round

The first hunting ground to go to in this city is next to one of the four highways from Olbia that leads to Palmyra

The monster to hunt here is called Demon Horn, which is a creature that has the appearance of a snake-like head on a giant deer’s bodyThis monster is above the level of a forest wolf

It is coests, it is ariant thorn-shaped horn on its head, which act as a weapon in killing its prey before sing it whole

It’s not much of a threat if it were to be a se as a caravan to which it then becoe problem when encountered if preparations haven’t been hway, the s as adventurers would stay close to the road, it should be easy to hunt those De a couple of other monsters in the vicinity

At that, our party was placed into groups as we gradually separate from each other

In addition to Centurion’s and Philips’ teams and the 10 ordinary skeletons I sent out, we have a total of 18 skeletons, plus a horse and cart

The 10 skeletons are in the front row, Centurion’s tea after them, and me, Benedetta and Phillips’ tea the grassy areas here, we left behind the steel back at the warehouse, so the horse right now iseasily

“It’s pretty open”

“Yeah… If this were to be the same as Comnes, then I would have split everyone into different teams and have us all spread out…”

“Shall I be the one challenge it first?”

“M to consider?”

“Not to a problematic extentI just want to see how an ordinary skeleton would fare”

Once I can see how hting one, I can detere our teams from this once we all split up

We haven’t been able to dofor some time ever since we hunted in that Abandoned Mine

Understanding my intentions, Phillips and Benedetta nodded

Proceeding down further into the plains, we encountered a Dee it was

It was a four-legged creature whose shoulder height is higher than htWhen it suddenly lowered its head and started charging at us, I almost had myself run out of the way out of reflex

… And to think, this one is still only medium-sized

Gasha!

I first had the skeletons put their shi+elds to take that charge

They got pushed back slightly, but they ed to stop it in its tracks

Here, Benedetta shoots an arrow from our position!

It hit directly into the head, but the arrow re its horn around atte to break the line of shi+elds

“The arroasn’t deep enough! Be careful!”

Benedetta shouted out her caution

However, the skeletons lined up from the side and closed in around the body of the Des with their weapons

Advertises were broken, they then airadually begin to weaken until it collapses and reins the dismantlement of the Demon Horn

I take on direct control of some skeletons to deal with this, as the rest of the team remain on the lookout

The most valuable material here is the horn, then after that it would be the snakeskin that reaches until its bodyThe rest aren’t all too valuable, and the meat of this stinks and would have to be processed for anyone to eat

We left the meat behind and loaded only the horn and skin into the cart

“Say, as this guy still able to move back then?”

I asked Benedetta as I took a look at its head

The force of the arrow fro

“It’s because the scales and bones of it are so thick… It’ll be difficult forjust a bow…”

“So the arrow only stopped at its head? … Quite the sturdy guy”

Though if I were to think more onto it, it’s obvious that the head that uses to stab ould be any weak

I had that initial thought since I co to have to change that way of thinking

Benedetta also starts to inspect the corpse, looking for any ht up of an idea part way fro this up later

“Neroups of 10?”

“… Not yet… That row of shi+elds we used probably wouldn’t be enough against a larger one… Lets find one of those first”

“Understood”

“WOULD you STILL keep the FORMATION as IS?”

“I will, but I’ll rely on you if soth of just a er than expected

Whilefor a larger Demon Horn as we enter deeper into the plains

After a while of searching, we successfully found one that was larger than the first one we encountered… however, soainst it the same way as we did before, but the skeleton shi+eld forh we had it surrounded in the end, the process of it wasn’t very sot taken down then beaten to death, but that initial proble at one of the skeletons for a while, so Benedetta came over to check on me

“What’s the ot done in… Take a look”

“Eh!?”

Benedetta looks over and sees the broken bones

Some of the bones at the wrist cale, which was on the side that it held the shi+eld with

Seeing Benedetta’s reaction, Phillips also came over

“Lord? What is the matter? … Hh they barely ed to stop that Demon Horn, the skeleton that had to deal with the first collision had its wrist broken

… I’ve always been anxious about the durability of these skeletons

Although I was able to do so about their shi+ns and ar that would help do soet

(At best, I could wrap sorip of their shi+elds?)

But then, I can’t really achieve much shock absorption with just that

It doesn’t seem like the usual skeleton tactic of, “stop i to work as well anyer and stronger monster than the Demon Horn we encountered just now, it doesn’t see the same tactics with the nor to accumulate with every encounter
