Chapter 17 (1/2)
Seventeenth Episode 〜 Dangerous Hunting and a Mysterious Experience
It has been several e
The secluded scenery that can be seen froed considerably, su its end has become moderate and russet leaves cover the mountain surface
Considering to tiround, two years may have passed since I first came to this world
The clear weather of the autumn season when cool and cold air mixes
It could be said that the clied, training in the spear continues
Recently I’ve been separating fro off by
And thus, today seems to be the same
“Shuya,to you today?”
“Eh, I don’t mind”
“Yoshi+, then I’ll ask you to gather, degoza fruit, perri herb, so sou bees”
“Hai hai Roger”
“Nn, nya!”
Rollo the black cat interrupted us there
“Rollo”
“Divine beast-sa for Shuya”
“Nya…”
Rollo’s ears lay down Even without touching her feelers, I understand how she feels Rollo wants to go with me
“Rollo, I’ll play with you when I come back”
“Nyanyanyaa”
Rollo purrs in response to my promise
Extending a feeler toare conveyed
『I’ll wait』『Play』『Love』『Play』
Mostly it is just the fact that she wants to play
Aside fros tied to the belt on my waist
After I fix my equipment I climb down the ladder
I walk across the s over treacherous footing, a forested area spreads out and a river is visible
I continue deeper into the forest beyond the fast flowing rapids of the river
The place where grass can be harvested is further ahead
Because I’ve been uren I’ve completely memorized the route
So, I’rass
Later is the degoza fruit
I must be careful about the bear…
The degoza fruit grows thickly in this area
I arrive at the place where the degoza fruit grows
The red fruit is spread all over Pinching the red fruit lightly I place it in theat my side
Then, suddenly, I’s
–I activate grasping police There’s a ic essence reaction
It is a bear Chi〜, you showed up in the end
This reaction must be the bear…it see to the side…
When I throw the rowl
“Fugogaaaaaaaa! Guooooooooo!”
The bear’s eyes become blood shot
With a grohich shakes its throat, pushi+ng out a chest swelling with muscles and covered in fur, the bear spreads its arht
Standing on two feet
the bear raises both arms
The body of the bear brings together fororilla and skilled karate practitioner
The bear is big, alround
It is a little over four ht…
A huge mouth, and claws that look brutal
The bear looks at aze…
White breath co with saliva
It’s extreitated
Do you not like that I’oza fruit?
“Gaa”
It turns to face es at me with tremendous speed
Facing the direction of the charging bear, I hastily extend my black spear towards the bear’s chest
However, there is a hard sound and the black spear I thrust out is repelled by the bear’s claws
“Gafa-”
As the bear roars intensely it swipes at me with its other set of claws
Quickly I turn the black spear and block with rear of the metal bar, but the bear’s claws are unexpectedly heavy
Further the left half of its body
My center of gravity lowers and my posture collapses Then the other set of claws co into me
“Iteeeee-”
On the side of ht shoulder, the claws cut deep into upper back part, I fall and stagger back, to roll back
My blood is scattered across the plants and roots of the degoza trees
I taunt the bear that hasn’t had enough to co its favorite red fruit, I hile s them
Do I look tasty like this…
Such a bear leans its body forwards and showing its fangs prepares to release a roar
-I can’t be eaten so easily!
I roll to the ground avoid the bear’s head
The bear hits its head on the ground, hard
Having hit its head, the bear releases a rough unsteady breath However, the bear shakes its head back and forth and again springs at me
I thrust while sitting on the ground, without letting go I move the black spear vertically To the jaw of the bear that ju up the butt end of my metal spear like an upper cut The sharp teeth of the bear sla back
The bear is bleeding heavily from its mouth
Its jaw seems to be broken It’s from the shock of the butt end of my spear
Eh, success
Seeuoo” while shaking its head back and forth
The Degozabear shakes its head back and forth
Scowling at such a bear, I stand up quickly while using the black spear like a walking stick Blood streams down my arm from my injured shoulder and flows over the black spear The wound see but blood is still flowing out
Right now looks like a good time to test it
It’s a chance to use my blood
I stretch out my injured arm I activate <bloody chain=”” feast=””> at the sa fro chains spiraling around the bear
The blood chains both move differently
From a bystander’s perspective they seem to move in a spiral, the blood chains seeether to form an intense rotation inside
The degozabear which repelledto do the same with my blood chain, with no such trouble the blood chains is shot to attack froh the bear’s hand, it stabs through and pulverizes the bear’s arm
“Guyaaaaaaaaaa-”
The Degozabear issues a shriek of pain
I understand the response well The blood chain caves in the bear’s ar up the bear’s flesh inside while chunks of flesh fly out Chainsaw, es into the bear’s arm
With the sound of its flesh and bone being destroyed, the right hand of the bear swells Finally the ht shoulder
What wonderful power
M down
Ah, it’s gone
Thinking the , the blood chain disappears
I look at ht shoulder I can’t see too much, but the wound in my shoulder seems to have closed up
The wound has co
Once the source of blood is gone, the blood chain seems to disappear
“Gigaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The bear roars while scattering its blood
“Annoying-”
While coolly swearing I shoot <chain> at the bear from my left hand
The nor bear
The degozabear falls back and collapses
It would be easy if I normally used <chain> from the start
However, because I’ve beco the spear I wanted to defeat it that way
However, such a thing does not matter
Blood chain is too strong The power of firing the normal chain is already adequate, the power of the blood chain earlier wasand pulverizes it
<bloody chain=”” feast=””> will become a poeapon
Since it can’t be used without receiving an injury it’s still not good enough…
Ma, it’s a fact that the bear was strong
It’s still a hard fight one on one
While co I let the chain disappear I take a knife out fro I threw aside earlier
And now, it is time to dismantle it
There should be a ic stone
I continue dis the bear with my knife
I don’t forget to suck its blood either
Unfortunately, there are no ic stones in the bear’s ans can be used as materials
I put it to the side like that with ans to the eyes, I fill the bag with its hide and any of the meat that seems edible
Because I haven’t collected all of the degoza fruit yet I finish collecting the on to the next location
I walk through the forest until evening is near
The objective is the rassento herb, white leaves that grow in bundles in the trees
Around this rassento herb a buzoku bee seems to have made its nest I look for the points shi+sho told me about
