Chapter 14 - Would you call it a miracle if it happened twice? (1/2)
Would you call it a miracle if it happened twice?
[Is it effective…?]
It rarely works on lower-level monsters.
That’s how Abnormal State Endowment works.
That’s what the goddess said.
Is it that minotaur have lower-level?
It’s different.
There’s no way strong heroes and warriors would be dispatched to this place just for lower-leveled monsters.
That’s what my reasoning think so.
With a miracle-like probability, I succeeded.
It happened.
A miracle.
I remembered the words of that goddess.
The duration of endowed Abnormal State is short.
It’s short.
I have to hurry up and escape.
I get up quickly.
And started running.
[Hah… ah–hah…~]
Thank god I can finally rest.
I was able to recover some of my physical strength.
This miracle,
Do I just let it go away?
[Wah~ ahahaha! Wa~ ahahafu–!]
Sh*t.
I was short of breath.
Physical strength correction?
Speed correction?
If I were a higher-level hero, I would have had more stamina.
Damn it.
[Zeehhh…~ Zehhh…~]
I closed my mouth with my hand.
I can’t suppress the sound of my breathing.
Anyway..
Where is this?
I timidly turned around.
I’m checking my back.
It’s not chasing.
Did I shake it off?
My feet hurts.
Probably because of fatigue.
I slowly slouched in place.
I touch my knees and ankles.
I think it’s not sprained.
Even if it’s just a little while, should I rest for a bit?
And then head towards above ground.
Somehow, above ground–
[Okay.]
I will raise my dignity.
I will become firm.
That’s right.
That’s extremely right.
There’s no reason not to.
After all,
But that story is after I’ve left the transfer territory.
I’m going to leave.
Of course, there are other monsters.
[Guiii~rrruuuu~! Birrrriiii~! Bi pa pi ko kkkooo~! Pi ko pi ko~! Ko kkeeee~!!! Koo kkeeee~!!!]
What is this thing…?
Its head is— clattering.
It’s like that doll I’ve seen before.
What is this?
A bird-like monster?
Is this that cockatrice?
It does look like that?
I mean, it’s head definitely looks like some bird.
It developed some deformity somewhere and grown really big.
No… is that a horn?
Even though it had that bird-like head.
And it has a four-armed humanoid body from the neck down.
It looks creepy.
I know that’s not how a cockatrice looks.
It’s skin is the same as the minotaur.
An orange line that looks like its blood vessels is on it’s black skin.
[O kko nni~~ yaa~~ ppaa pppii kkkooeee~]
Every time it clucks like a bird with it’s weird voice,
Dripping acid were released from the hole in its body.
Bicha~
Becha~ tsu,
Shuwashuwashuwa…
The bird head’s round eyes look down on me.
Gyoro~
[Pii kko~ ppaa rrrii~~ kkkoo pppii. kkkkooookkkkooookkkoookkkooo~ Kkkkooooeeee~!!!]
Sloppily.
Drool began to drip from the bird head.
Does this guy plan to eat me?
[O kkorrri~ ppoo rrooo~ kkoo rrooo rroor rooo rooo rrrrooo~ ppaa ppiii kkkooo pppiii kkkooo~ ppaa pppii kkkoo~ kkooo rroo kkkoo kkkkooeee~! kkoooeee!! Kkkkoooee!!! Kkkoo rrooo rorooororororororororoorrrooo~!!!]
An ear-piercing high-pitched cry.
It’s four arms move like an eagle.
Its huge claws are no joke.
If you’re scratched by that– serious injury is inevitable.
Can I escape?
No… that’s impossible.
