Vol 2 Chapter 13 (2/2)
{Aaahahaha… tricked you! Keehehehe… triiiiiiiiiicked youuuuuuu!}
“bastard!”
Ranta attempted to punch the demon as chastisement, but missed completely as Zodiak bounded away and out of reach
{You don’t kno to hit a deht… Keehehehehe…}
“I-idiot! ‘Course I can! But you’remy own demon?!”
{Really? Really? Hehe! Do you reeeeeeally mean it?}
“Of course! Would I say it if I weren’t serious?”
{…fuck you a hundred million times!}
“What?!”
{Keeehehehe… Heehehe… Keeehehehe… Hehe… Keehehehehe…}
da a Goddamn soap opera lover’s quarrel It was kind of fun earlier, but not anymore
“…Can’t just hide It’s not like me But I don’t see any other choice… maybe?”
But even if he did re to co No way they’ll come… No, there wasn’t any reason to expect anyone to co they would? Pathetic Am I a man or what?
“If I see the others again, I’ll deal with it then,” Ranta told hi on the move was more like him It made him feel better
He shoved all his attached pigwor way to go before he could co the paths between pens rather than running at full speed
“Easy Piece of cake”
The areas in and around the darkshrooerous; they were completely exposed and many kobold workers ular kobold or two patrolled around the pigworrat pens so it was definitely safer around here The fences around the pens were also high, so if Ranta bent low, he could re a little too careful
“At this rate, I can probably jump around with no problems…” he chuckled
Growing bolder, Ranta jumped between two pens and suddenly collided with a worker kobold as he landed The kobold yelped and Ranta was about to shout, too, before realizing there was no tie all out, but it didn’t look like he had tisword
What was he going to do…?
Inspiration suddenly struck He had seen Haruhiro use a new skill recently, [WIDOW MAKER], probably it was called Maybe he could use that Ranta had no idea how the skill was actually executed, but he’d seen it enough that if he just copied Haruhiro, things would somehoork out
“Hey! Quitaround!” Ranta demanded as he moved in to lock down the kobold’s arms
Naturally, the kobold fought back and it was Godda too But Ranta was also desperate to win He pinned both the kobold’s ar around the kobold’s, but it didn’t work out the way he iled limbs
As they both rolled around on the floor, Ranta hit his head several ti also elbowed hiht it would This [WIDOW MAKER] skill looked easy, but it really wasn’t Even though he temporarily held down the kobold’s ar more
“Gotta… strangle it!”
He let the kobold’s aro for norapped both hands around its throat instead, and applied pressure like mad As the kobold started to suffocate, it thrashed around evento throw Ranta off Ranta yelled, holding on with all his strength
The kobold swiped and clawed at his face, stuck its fingers into his mouth and tore the corner of his lip open
“ARGH!!!” Ranta bit down on the kobold’s fingers in response and clasped down on its neck even harder
Then finally, finally the worker kobold’s body went limp
“Did I—?! No, not yet!”
He refused to believe it was dead and kept his strangle hold on it for a good five, ten secondsthe pressure off its throat It’s okay now…
He checked to see if the kobold was still breathing It wasn’t It was dead Ranta shoved hiet back onto his feet, but couldn’t All his strength felt drained from his body Zodiak bounced and floated around Ranta and looked down at him from above
{Keehehehe… what’re you doing? Rookie! Rookie rookie cookie! Hehehehe…}
“Cookie? What the hell…?”
That was a really close fight though Too close for coerous at all… He was flawlessly, perfectly fine
“Yeah, let’s just leave it at that…”
Ranta rolled onto all fours and pushed himself back up onto his feet How to dispose of the body? Before that, he retrieved its talisman The acquisition of loot rat pen with a grunt of effort
“Done!”
The sound of barking filled the air A kobold No, not just one, a good nu towards him from a bit of a distance away
{Man up, Dread Knight! Eeehehehe… Fight fight fight! Keehehehe…}
“No frickin’ way! I can’t take on all of them!”
{Wimp imp! Imp imp imp! Eeeehehehe…}
“fuck you, Zodiak!”
Ranta turned on his heels and ran, his body like lead Maybe the heaviness of his body was just his iination, but his torn lip sure hurt A lot How badly had the kobold torn it? shi+t He was going to be called Cleft Lip Boy for the rest of his life now It’ll spoil his killer looks
Not the ti about that! his inner voice told him
When Ranta turned back to look behind hiht up to hi sh of Zodiak’s jeers In his current state, he didn’t knohether he could take more of the demon’s acerbic responses
Wordlessly and without looking back, he ran for all he orth
