Chapter 15 (1/2)

I watched Blobsy hop off after the bandits

… Would she be fine? Too late for takebacks now, anyway I floated off after the e

I didn't think I could lose track of the ere all on the sa – e With the existence of railway technology, I feared carriages otten soe to get inside a village – it didn't even need to be a town – before I caught up, I'd lose The strange barrier would hold et in

I wasn't so delusional as to believe that I was doing this for justice, that this was fitting judgement for the kind of person who treated their slaves' lives as a gaer on the deceased after he lost

I just wanted to avenge therets

Luck ith e parked by the wayside The irritatedtheir losses

”Coot out of it safe and sound It's just soe, isn't it?”

”And the horse and carriage! Those weren't just slaves, fool, they're expensive ones! daally buy any new ones on the officiallied to me They weren't 'combat-capable', they astes of air, that's what!”

I was… pretty sure the merchant was an exception, not the rule to this world's huht?

The inspection seeed the driver to hurry, and the two set off The trader was sitting next to his driver, instead of his usual spot inside the carriage

”Boss, you should get back in It's dangerous here”

”Shut your trap It's your fault you didn't notice the bandits early enough I can't trust your eyes”

The driver didn't bother hiding his distaste at the insult

Right How do I want to do this?

Originally,soldiers and beta testers sent after me In that case… would an accident work?

I took off the cloak, released h to blend into the scenery, then on

The two still hadn't noticed anything wrong But the horse did sense an to perht

”H-Hey, what's wrong? Cal already!” Theonto his seat

Walking and playing with Blobsy weren't the only things I did these last few days I'd been experi with [Reroll] too, and I now had confirmation of the skill's success rate when used on others

It had a high possibility of failing if the target was focused Which also itated, it'd work most of the time

That first time with the beta tester, I could chalk it up to chance The second tiainst the slave hunters, even I started to think it was too convenient

And after a few tests, I'd deteret saw ets under the effect of the [Fear] demon racial skill

Well, those tests eak h This would be the first time I tried it on humans

[Reroll]

Despite the horse's fear and the swerving, the carriage was still so the road, but the horse didn't notice the Identification Crystal I dropped The wagon lurched

The nearly obese trader lost his balance He scrabbled, trying to grab onto the edge of his seat I used the skill while throwing my presence at him

[Reroll]

Terror flashed on his face for a racelessly on his head

”Boss!?” The driver noticed, but too late Theout, the merchant's neck was already broken

[Shedy] [Race: White Ghast] [Low Deic Points: 256/335] 5↑ [Total Combat Power: 289/368] 5↑

My, that was a very unlucky fall Also, apparently the ic cost

And it turned out I still receive experience froot his lifeforce, but couldn't recover any ic I'd have to write the crystal off as a loss, too Well, it only had three uses left anyway

I felt Blobsy stopShe must have found the bandits' lair I hurried to her, the hts

My hts even as I flew

That scene back then, when I used [Reroll]… I'd seen so like it before

Ever since I was a little kid, the people who bullied me, with deeds or ords, had always met with constant misfortune Mysteriously

One had a broken ar One slipped on the stairs One cut her fingers multiple times with the kitchen knife Were those all ely, [Reroll] always felt like thein the world to me, even from the very first time I used it Was it because I had always had it, ever since I was born?

When I arrived, it was already dark Blobsy bounced out of the field of tall grass and cuddled up to ot the cloak…ah well I coer has the safehouse that was my cloak's pocket – and she splatted into a disc, corass… whoa She's a very skillful blob

I didn't need her to shohere they were So into what looked like an exploratorybored

I was going to attack their base That thought sent shi+vers through me

Not the kind of shi+vers associated with that Disconnect with reality If anything, it felt like excitement As if I only just came tomore natural than ever

I approached asa white ht His expression quickly turned to [Fear] at the sight of me

He was about to scream I immediately rushed into his mouth before he could, then apply a bit of [Hus and stifle his voice

…it actually worked I thought it ht, yet I still surprised myself

He went blue in scant seconds, his face set in a rictus Once his lifeforce was drained, I wafted through the cracks in the worn-out, rickety-looking door

I saw light leaking out fro the abandonedlike the quintessential bandits, gaa for their shi+ft

[Bandit x2] [Magic Points: 20/20] [Hit Points: 60/60] [Total Combat Power: 48]

Weaksauce But, well, if they had the strength ofas bandit underlings like this

The only light source I could see was a single candle-looking thing I shot out two copper coins I'd been storing inside me

[Reroll] [Reroll]

One coin missed even with the skill, but the other hit It snuffed out only the fire, leaving the candle perfectly intact

”Huh, what happened to the light?”
