Chapter 38: The smell of undead from the monster

The creature that e human bones (skeleton), equipped with a worn-out sword and shi+eld in both hands Even though its movement appeared quite aard as if it was controlled by an invisible string froile as it lunged at Shello-san

Its size looked sht be because of Shello-san’s overly huge size but, the height of the skeleton didn’t seem to be anywhere near even 170cm The movement looked comical and the weapon was shabby too In all honesty, it didn’t see since it literally looked like a ainst that thing……Nah, it wouldn’t be possible

“You’re thinking that it’s likely to be weak, aren’t you Jirou?” [Rebecca]

giku It startled uess has hit the mark Rebecca-san’s seriously sharp

“That bone is certainly weak but, depending on individual case, it can be quite a troublesoht the only bow and arrow or a small knife…………Besides, no matter hoeak the monsters may look, they possess sufficient attack power to kill a human without fail You will be killed easily even if you were hit by that worn-out sword” [Rebecca]

“It has never crossedbut……is that bone really weak?” [Jirou]

“Well, it is weak based on our standard—” [Rebecca]

The skeleton headed straight towards Shello-san There was nofro towards Shello-san at quick pace without any specific goal In contrast, Shello-san as facing it, has notthe claymore over his shoulder, all he did was just lower his posture slightly

At that very ap and thrust out its worn-out sword, Shello-san’s figure becaht An intense crushi+ng sound filled the air—–and, when I finally realized it, the skeleton had left this world completely

It appeared to be killed in one hit by Shello-san’s clayh ti itself at that speed (although, I highly doubt if there was a brain in that skull to begin with) The battle was decided with an overwhely or offense and defence The skeleton has left the world just like that That was no longer a level, in which, one could trample on anymore Shello-san’s totally awesome

Depending on the situation…… I did think of backing hi a fool ofpower

Shello-san picked up soround Was it a dropped item by the skeleton?

“Err…, is this the end or rather, was that the only monster that came out?” [Jirou]

“There have been various kinds ofin this area It will be a different story if a 『h That will be the only tianize a troop to subjugate them” [Rebecca]

So, generally only one would appear at a time? Well, it appears that ‘monster’ or creatures like ‘demon beast’ and ‘sub-human’ are of different classifications It would be really dangerous if there were a huge group of ressively so the eht Rebecca-san has mentioned it before that only the weak ones tend to appear here but, there were ti monsters popped out as well………

For children these days, they on, griffon or wyvern as they would essentially heavily associate it with games

“Nn–? The strongest ht it was the ‘Aruess That was the last one that sprung out during the eence of the『monster wave』 the year before the last…… It wasn’t a inally appear in a place like this though A total of 16 hunters were killed just by that monster alone, you know?” [Rebecca]

Uhee 16 people were killed too…… I wasn’t sure how ation teas? In addition, the opponent was also armoured…

“Arht……? Was it an armour?” [Jirou]

“Yes An aruy was especially tough I had originally ainst that statue already so I was somehow able to beat it in the end but, that was really only by the skin of in with, that was supposed to be a monster that will appear only at the site of ancient ruins…However, there would also be ti out during the eence of the 『monster wave』” [Rebecca]

A living armour, was it Not only a skeleton but also a statue I wonder if majority of thetheic creatures should be more precise than undead, I think

“Are there a lot of ic creature-like monsters similar to that? And, did the one that appear earlier came from the 『monster wave』?” [Jirou]

“I have explained it before already but, monsters are existences that appear froe to call theence of the 『monster wave』 has already happened two to four times this year………In short, this is the period when monsters will appear more frequently” [Rebecca]

So it’s a period when monsters will appear frequently…… How do I put it,…it was a very rough explanation……

Well, it is fine as long as I knew of the 『monster wave』’s occurrence It doesn’t seem likely for there to be any direct connection to anized

Although, just thinking of the possibility of a large scale battle happening in the vicinity of hly anxious Shello-san and Rebecca-san will definitely participate in it…… If need be, will it be better for h, if it is just to the extent of distributing eency rations to the needy, I don’t think I will be hesitant to do so

After that, Shello-san returned with the black crystal he picked up earlier and showed it toas the size of a quail egg and the slight transparency was similar to black quartz This appears to another exaic crystal’ in question It doesn’t see that you can only get one each from every ht worth quite a bit if one were to sell it Nevertheless, since it doesn’t have a wide utility value like a spirit stone, the deh

Shello-san immediately went for a monster hunt as soon as he defeated thatlunch after letting us know that the sword practice would be in the afternoon Hence Diana, Marina and I decided to practice horse riding with Rebecca-san’s favourite horse
