Dream Life

Lesson 23: The North Forest

After Sharon's father, Guy Jakes, headed to Lasmore Village, we decided to go into the North Forest.

It's about a kilometer from the house we live in to the north forest. You need to get in the back about 2km further to encounter the demon, but it's convenient to level up because you can get to the demon exit area in about an hour.

The neighborhood, which is relatively close to the city we're going to, is a hunting ground for young adventurers. Because there are demons roaming around here that make herds of goblins, wolves, etc. but are not so strong on their own, just right for the level twenty, seventh class adventurer party workouts.

However, because very rarely demons equivalent to Lv5, powerful cannibals (ghouls) among Lv6 equivalents, and detached soldier ants (soldier ants) appear, it is impossible to be alarmed.

We'll keep our guard up and move through the woods.

My gear is bastard swords on leather jackets and pants. I'm still not wearing protective gear. Sometimes this is thinking about leveling your avoidance skills, but it's also big that you just don't think you have the protective gear to grow up.

Liddy has a hard leather (hard leather) armor with a synthetic bow (composite bow) and a short sword. Sharon is a lightweight dagger in leather jackets and pants, just like me.

I don't use Liddy's wand, but Sharon decides to have it just in case.

We each carried our backpacks and carefully went into the back of the woods.

After dropping Guy off, he went into the woods around 9am and has already walked in the woods for about an hour.

Deep in the woods, the heat of mid-summer strikes us relentlessly.

I was drinking water from a water bottle and moaning about my lack of basic health.

(You can't be buttery in this light outfit. At least you want enough strength to walk around in armor)

When I contained the water from the water bottle in my mouth, my neck felt tingly with the slight sound of a crust.

I'll hand signal Liddy and Sharon, stop moving on the spot, and slowly alert the perimeter.

(This feeling is when you have enemies. Usually, Guy must have already found it, but I'm the scout today. Feel your surroundings......)

Slowly looking around, our left hand side, about fifty meters away, was a giant mukade, giant centipede, walking among the trees.

The Giant Centipede is a giant muckade about five meters long, with a plush, black, chitin crust and huge fangs, dozens of pairs of feet, a monster that feels physiological disgust.

Fortunately, the enemy hasn't noticed this one yet.

I crouched Liddy and Sharon so they wouldn't make a sound, and I talked to them about how to handle it.

"There is a giant mukade, Giant Centipede. Big enough for the fifth level, but I haven't noticed this one yet. We can make an ambush, but what do we do?

In contrast, Liddy shakes her neck sideways.

"It's pretty hard, that muckade. I used to fight with Govi - nicknamed my grandfather Govan Lockhart - but even he had a lot of trouble with that hardness. It moves faster than I thought, so if you fail an ambush, you'll get close at once."

Sharon complains with his eyes about whether the giant mukade is disgusting or not, not saying anything in particular, but wants him to retreat.

I nodded to both of them, "Copy that. Let's wait quietly to leave," he says, monitoring the enemy's movements.

The giant mukade slowly crosses about thirty meters ahead of us, letting the footsteps called Gassagasa. Once he stopped on the way, and loosened his tentacles, Sharon whispered a small “hiss," but he didn't notice this one and disappeared into the woods.

The minute I exhaled and said, "Apparently, you didn't notice," I screamed and cursed forward.

"Wow! It's the giant muckade Giant Centipede!

"Watch your fangs, avant-garde! Arrows don't work! Roger, we're too far ahead! Back off!...... '

I heard that voice and said, "You got another party before the giant mukade walked away," and then I said to the Liddies, "I'm going to help! I said," I tried to jump out.

But Liddy grabbed my arm,

"I can't do it with your magic! Even the sword, of course! What are you going to do if you don't have a chance?

Liddy desperately persuades me, but I seemed to have a little blood on my head, "You have a weakness! If it's equivalent to the fifth level, it should be able to be defeated!" He was screaming.

She shakes her head desperately in my words.

"The weakness is fire! But that shell is hard, and it can't be defeated by a half-breed fire. So..."

I wasn't convinced, but I stopped on Liddy's desperate face.

In the meantime, there is also the rage of the party being attacked.

(What's Mukade's weakness? Fire doesn't have enough firepower... wind magic is played... is it played? This!)

I'll come up with a way to defeat the giant mukade.

"Liddy and Sharon raise him up with an air hammer. If I see a belly, I'll knock the flame arrow in. The belly shell looks solid too, but it would be better than the back. If it works, you can even burn your legs..."

Liddy was grabbing my arm like she still couldn't, but I pulled it off forcefully,

"I'll try it alone! Maybe I can help. Worst case scenario, if you hold back, you should be able to escape. If you have to, you can ice it..."

Liddy says, "Okay," and gets up,

"After Sharon shoots an air hammer, I release an ice arrow. You shoot a flaming arrow at a stop."

The three of us get up right away and move on through the woods.

"Gem! Back off! Look at the timing. We're pulling!

When we got to the spot, I said, 'Ghah!' And I heard a strong breathing voice, and I immediately said, 'Help me!' The scream echoes in the woods.

About twenty meters ahead of me, a young swordsman who looked like a late teenager had been captured by the mighty jaw of Mukade.

Sharon trembles at the sight and stands on the bar.

"Sharon! Shoot the air hammer!

Sharon immediately starts casting spells in my voice, releasing magic in about ten seconds.

There was no usual accuracy, but still a mass of air bursts between the belly of a giant mukade and the ground.

Along with the earthen smoke, the body of the giant mukade had been overthrown, releasing the victims that had been captured in its mighty jaw.

Shortly thereafter, Liddy's unleashed ice arrow (Isicle Arrow) hit Mukade's abdomen.

It just didn't penetrate, but it pierces the torso milestone, and Mukade bends his body to the bow.

I was watching the sight and cast a flaming arrow spell.

"God of Fire (Ignis), who commands fire. I do not seek the arrows of the fierce flame of your family, the Spirit, and I do not give to you the power of my life. Burn my enemies! Flame Arrow!"

A flaming arrow about a meter long turns to the stomach of Mukadeh, who looks back and gets bored. I was casting the spell of the next flaming arrow without seeing that hit.

My unleashed arrow hits the side of Mukade's torso and burns down two legs. But it still doesn't look like Mukade was fatally injured just by a heavy blow around.

Sharon's Swallow Winged Blade (Swallow Cutter) and Liddy's Light Arrow (Shining Arrow) were all over Mukade before my second shot.

The two go for the first belly verse that Liddy damages and deals damage.

And my second flaming arrow is done.

I carefully aim and slap an arrow in the belly of a moving mukade.

Though his aim was slightly off, he succeeded in spreading the mukade wounds that were sprinkling his body fluids.

To the dazzling adventurers, I said, "Help the wounded now!" He was yelling.

When they returned to me, they ran under the wounded.

Mukade is still crooked, but with the wound on the border, the back leg moves strangely. You've been hit with the nervous system, scratching the ground with just your front leg, and you can't seem to move properly.

"Liddy took the wounded. Sharon, I need backup. Cut off your front leg with a swallow cutter."

When I screamed like that, I pulled the sword out of my back and challenged the melee.

Mukade, who was injured just around the middle of his 5m body length, as I approached him, lifted his big head and showed his will to attack.

I hang my magic martial arts on my legs and pack my distance at once.

Sharon's swallow cutter flies up next to me and cleaves two legs off the right side of the muckade. Mukade was slightly out of balance due to the shock.

I saw it as an opportunity, keeping the momentum when I stuffed the distance, putting the sword between the jaws of my enemies "teh!" I poked my sword in with the mood of tearing.

Wasn't Mukade expecting that move, after I pulled out my sword, letting Gatin and Jaw empty. But I didn't even have a clue what I was expecting.

Mukade was beeping his jaw, but slowly stopped moving.

I was carefully distanced and alert to Mukade's movements. However, as the movement slowed, Mukade slowly lay on the ground, flushing clear fluid from between his jaws.

In the meantime, Liddy was following the wounded. The young swordsman had half chewed off every torso of leather armor with the power of a mighty mukade's jaw, scattering large amounts of blood. When Liddy tried to hang the healing magic, it was already out.

Again, I approach Mkade carefully, still ignoring Gasagoso and his awkward legs, and stick my sword in the verse behind my head.

Beltram's striking sword pierced the thin dermis of his joints softly, slashing and tearing every nerve inside.

Mukade's head went off as it was, and finally the giant Mukade, Giant Centipede, was also desperate.

As I was confirming Mukade's death, the adventurer I helped - a male swordsman about twenty years old - approached me.

"Thanks... what, you're not a kid yet!

The man looked me in the face, and when he shouted so, he immediately apologized in embarrassment and offered me his right hand.

"No, I'm sorry. Thank you for your help. My name is Ian. Seventh level adventurer."

I will lay my sword on the sheath and take its right hand.

"I'm Zach. I didn't register as an adventurer. Besides, if there's an injury, I'll treat it."

Ian said, "It's just dead gems. I was attacked," he said, shaking his neck sideways in loneliness.

Liddy's away from the dead adventurer Gem, and he's joined our story.

Ian looked at Liddy's face and accidentally drank his breath, but was putting it right back in his serious face.

Liddy says to Ian, "It's Lydiane," and offers her right hand.

Shaking Ian's hand, he said, "I'm sorry to hear about Gem," clouding his expression a little, but immediately stared at him with a serious look.

"But that's not because we're late. I know you do, but we didn't have to intervene. I wouldn't have helped you if Zach hadn't told me he was coming in to help. Do you understand that?

Ian nodded, "Oh,"

"I'm sorry to hear about Gem, but I don't expect you to be able to help me in that situation. First of all, if I was in that position, I would definitely have escaped."

And looking at our own party members,

"If you guys hadn't come, there might have been other victims... sooner or later, I'm going to return this favor"

"You don't have to worry about anything," Liddy says in a mild tone, "but with a serious look on my face,

"We were just lucky this time. It's more of a suicide act than a reckless attack on a superior opponent. Make sure you understand this."

I wandered off to Liddy in a harsh tone.

"Okay. It was true that not only me but also Liddy and Sharon could have been in danger about this one. I apologize for that. Sorry."

Liddy grins and hugs me.

"I hope you understand... I'm afraid you'll be gone. So don't just be impotent."

Her arms trembled a little as I hugged her.

(At that time, I couldn't accept people's deaths. I wasn't thinking about anything else if there was a chance I could help. Did Liddy want to say no then? So I guess you asked Ian about that... death of a person... that being said, I've never seen a person get killed before...)

I suddenly realized the death of an adventurer named Gem. And I see people getting killed, and the shock gradually hits me.

(I know you, nothing. Just someone else. Yet, is it something that shocks people so much... If this were Sharon, I wouldn't stop trembling if it were Liddy...)

Liddy noticed how I was doing and hugged me hard again. That manages to stop the tremor in my body.

(If I'm in this situation, Sharon should be more upset... what a pity. I'm a good grown-up and I'm on my own...)

I turned around to speak to Sharon.

She had a slightly lonely look on her face about me being hugged, but it didn't seem like she was being shocked by the battle or people's deaths.

I said, "I'm sorry." I bowed my head to her.

"I almost got Sharon to see dangerous eyes. We need to calm down a little bit."

She shook her head wide and sideways,

"Or I looked good...... and I wasn't scared. Because I believed Master Zach would protect me..."

That's what Straight tells me, and my face gets hot. Sharon, who said so, was also turning bright red.

When we were silently staring at each other, Liddy said, "Yes, sir. It's still in the dangerous woods," he interrupted.

"I've recovered the Demon Crystal Stone, but what are we going to do after this?

"Let's walk a little more in the woods"

Ian's voice hangs from behind us as we try to get into the woods.

"What are we going to do with this material? The crust of a giant macaque sells for a good price."

I ask Liddy, "Is that so?"

"Yeah, that would be about 50C."

I can't believe I'm throwing away 50,000 yen, and I'm like, "Well, why don't you collect it?," he asked.

"Who's going to have it? Our members won't be able to hold it. First of all, it's no trouble to dismantle it. The Demon Crystal Stone and Crusade reward are higher, so you don't have to bother. And I hate it when you dismantle the bug-like thing."

Apparently, the last word is for real. But her words also make sense. I don't know how long it will take to dismantle it, but in the meantime, my vigilance will be neglected. And there's no time to go back to the city with heavy baggage. We're not fighting for money. Of course, we need the money, but the rewards and the proceeds of the sale of the Demonic Crystal Stone make enough money. Then you should use that time effectively. Of course, I intend to recover the higher materials naturally.

"I don't want a mukade crust. If you can afford it, it's fine to collect it."

Ian looks incredible, but he says, "It'll help," and he's bowed his head.

I was surprised at the low waist.

(Maybe it's because they saved my life, but can I bow my head to a ten-year-old? If it's meritocracy, I don't know, but... Guy said that kids get tangled up when they go to the guild, but wouldn't this be a problem if I did?

We split up with Ian and headed back into the woods again.

After that, I only met a demon of a rabbit the size of a medium-sized dog called the Horn Rabbit.

Horned rabbit is not so belligerent demon, but the individual came upon us with a bad bug abode. But I only made linear movements and didn't have the means of attack to threaten me, so I gave it back lightly.

This demon is equivalent to grade ten, and the Demon Crystal stone is cheap, but they say fur and meat are traded at relatively high prices.

It weighs nearly 10 kg, but I put the rabbit in my back sac and decided to take it home.

I went home and dismantled the ravioli, but the three of us just couldn't eat them, so I decided to hem them next to each other.

When I took it to Mr. Littlef's next door on the left, he praised me for exchanging too much action exaggerating that me and Sharon had passed in the chief and second seat.

Mr. Littlef was a clerk at the Tilia School of Magic and seemed to know about our passing.

"No, really, I'm surprised! I can't believe our neighbor is the head and second seat of that college! I really thought I'd go celebrate while I was there yesterday. My Helen - his wife - tells me to refrain because Guy is going home today..."

We had so much more trouble with the excitement.

"Well, come talk to me if anything happens. I don't have that much power, but I've been working for a long time, so I only have handouts."

The last time I said that, he was slapping me on the shoulder.
