Chapter 6 (2/2)

So that was my vertical li, or race-walking if I pushed o 'Weeeee! I can fly!', but no, s were crawling onwas fun about this

…really, could I ever get used to this?

For the tih inforhtly better than a normal person's Particularly my sense of smell and presence detection – for those, I tried to be as aware of the unconscious goings-on as possible

Oh, found a red caterpillar It looked sas closer and prepared to attack… I could just attack the saht?

I thrusted a part of me forward There was no impact The tentacle of air simply covered the caterpillar and sucked it dry in a few seconds

…holy crap

I couldn't believe this was the same caterpillar I used to have so much trouble with I just won in a flash Gruesomely, too

Apparently I also drained its lifeforce with that attack Well, that was good and all, but it didn't givethe dark-reds aside for a ive rowing this area It'd been er, anyway

…still, if I saw any, I'd hunt Points were important, even if just one

Another 10 otten a lotinfore I'd never seen anything other than trees the whole ti deeper, ae wouldn't be a probleer presence than uard for a while, but saw nothing, so I decided to hover forward There it was, behind a large tree

Maybe I just iht our eyes met As much as I could have eyes

It was a black caterpillar, around 60 centie as a red one

Whoa! It just screeched and spat out fire without warning From all the way over there, too!

Quite a bit more powerful than reddies Was this the next evolution step of the dark-red? Why caterpillars? Get to butterflies already

Wait, what are you doing spitting fire in a forest?! dah-powertree to strike from its back It spat flame at me once, but I still continued A part of

By the way, I did a [Reroll] to dodge the flaht, that wasn't enough volue I went for broke and rushed at the black caterpillar, usingto bite me

…hht, aseous Ghast body! Fire worked, but maybe I was nearly invincible to physical attacks!

I worked to absorb ascould hurl flaain In the end, it was just a caterpillar It never atte Finally, it wailed, breathing its last

So I won because I was s

That was a lot of points I got 10 points from the reds on my way here, so one black caterpillar was 7 points

I couldwas that they didn't have any way to hurt me besides the flaood amount of points, which meant I could settle down here for a while…

…that was before I found out that there ay too few blacks, coht, it should have been obvious Monsters had er efficiently, her on the pyramid, the less of them existed

…oh well, I'd just have to be patient and search I also got used to handling myself a bit better now, so it was time to try to see how far away I could detect presences

I rose almyself as wide as I could to let e was around a basketball court This tiic and the general sizes of the presences thenored The more useless infor ht, focus… range at baseball field size, now… yeah, still nothing… maybe a bit further… hmm? I sensed… oh crap, this is bad, ether the moment they were about to scatter and evaporate Too close! What were the developers thinking? They didn't even implement any sort of limits or safety checks for avatars! I'ht there if I didn't stop in time!

…that scared the crap out of me Let's be more careful from now on

At the same time, if I hadn't forced e presence They were a long ay froic, yet felt strangely powerful And bizarre They were killing what I suspected to be black caterpillars, one after another

Might the presence be a hu monsters, then perhaps… a beta tester?
