282 – [5] Wolf in the Cave
#282
“Is it okay if I go in with this? “It’s a cave that looks a bit suspicious even at first glance.”
“All caves are like that.”
Where in the world is there a cave like that?
That’s it.
This was the case even in the caves on the mountain behind the far north of Chareltea.
Nothing more, it felt exactly like this.
It’s a bit spooky, a bit suspicious, and it feels like you can go on an adventure if you go in.
However, there was a slight time limit that made it unsuitable for adventure now.
“First of all, the trace ends here. “I guess we’ll have to go inside.”
“Yes, yes? W, you’re going in here?”
“Then is there another way? “I don’t think there is anything in particular.”
“That’s…… Yes, but… ….”
No matter how you look at it, the view is that it doesn’t look like a cave.
It seemed like there must be something bad inside.
Of course there are bad things.
What could possibly be in a cave in another world in the first place?
A really big spider.
A bear that tears people apart.
A bunch of mischievous monsters.
Ancient slime.
It was roughly like this.
You might be lucky enough to find only a flock of bats and droppings, but that wouldn’t be much help to the current situation.
There had to be something that could be hunted and eaten.
That way, I was able to cook even though it was dangerous.
“Well, there might be monsters inside. But it won’t be that strong.”
“You’re saying it won’t be strong?”
“If the kids were too strong to handle, the academy would have stopped them a long time ago.”
It’s probably at the level of some middle-aged person.
Even if he came from outside, if he was quite strong, rumors could not have spread within the Academy.
So, the guy inside was probably nothing special.
Furthermore, considering that other guys were tracking him, there was a good chance.
“And there are those kids who were resting earlier, right? “If they were really strong, they wouldn’t have chased after them, right?”
“Ah…… “That’s right.”
Why would kids who are only at the level of cadets try to catch a strong guy?
They must have chased after it because they knew they could catch it just by looking at it.
Therefore, the game in the cave will be fine in its own way.
Except for the fact that it gives off a slightly scary atmosphere.
“But it feels a little dark, our torch… ….”
“Why do you need a torch? “Just put magic into your eyes and see.”
Raise the eye-monitor gamma value.
I immediately raised my magic power and changed it so I could see better in the dark.
It wasn’t very clear, but it was still worth seeing.
In reality, Syaoran just frowned here and there as if he wasn’t doing well.
“Why is this…… Ah, that’s it now.”
“Then let’s get going.”
We each headed inside, holding our weapons.
Not long after I entered, a musty smell tickled my nose.
I feel like it won’t be good if I stay for a long time.
I quickly headed inside.
Then I saw a long trail of blood.
I just swept it with my hand and it came out right away.
“Blood stains that appeared not long ago…… “I think this is the right place.”
Little by little, little by little, little by little.
I advanced with my sword ready to swing.
Pureung─
Then a breathing sound was heard.
It wasn’t a sound from this side.
It was a sound that came from somewhere in front.
Syaoran pulled out his arrow stiffly, as if he was nervous.
Actually, the bow was not suitable.
Even if it was outside, it wasn’t here.
“Mr. Syaoran.”
“Yes?”
“Put away the bow and take out the dagger.”
“Yes…… ?”
“Take out the dagger! Right now!”
Boom!
Rough footsteps rang out.
That weight, that power, it was extraordinary.
Soon, I felt air rushing in front of me.
It wasn’t visible, but it felt like I could see all of the other person’s actions.
So it was better.
I kicked the floor just like the other side.
I put magic on my sword, raised my supernatural powers, and moved forward.
And in just three steps, I came face to face with the image.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
It was a large wolf, and of course it was a wolf that was running at me.
Judging by the fact that the mouth was full of blood, it seemed like he had just bitten someone.
“Yes! “Wolf body stew is good!”
I swung my sword right away.
I slashed at the face of the wolf that was running towards me.
There was no sense of cutting through the shield that is unique to monsters.
There was only the feeling of cutting tough leather and tough muscles.
Wow!
“Kkegaeng!”
The wolf that failed to attack lost half of its gaze.
I immediately dodged to the side, and he rolled around on the floor without even being able to attack properly.
The place where the rolling stopped was right in front of Syaoran.
Syaoran stared at the wolf beneath his feet while holding a dagger.
“Uh…… “Uh huh?!”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Stab it quickly!”
The length of the dagger is too short to attack openly.
I froze, wondering if this was my first time in a situation like this or not knowing what to do.
“Wait a minute, is this right…?” ….”
“What else is there to do other than getting hit! “Just stab me!”
After hesitating, I belatedly took action on my mission.
The dagger advanced towards the wolf’s stomach, stuck in the stomach, and then escaped.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
Unfortunately at that time.
The wolf came to his senses.
Wow!
A sound like a whip filled the cave.
Syaoran was thrown backwards by the giant wolf’s tail.
Judging by the rough struggle, it seemed like the attack worked well.
The wolf was in pain at the sight of its half-cut face, and barely managed to stand up, on the verge of losing its balance.
“Crumbling! “Krrrr!!!”
It was surprising that he was still alive.
Although it won’t last long.
A guy whose eyes roll in all sorts of places.
He looked like he couldn’t come to his senses from the pain.
I kicked my foot again.
And then it flew like the wind and completely cut off the guy’s head.
I couldn’t even hear the sound.
The only sounds that rang in my ears were heads rolling on the floor and bodies falling.
I turned my head because it was obvious that he was dead.
She seemed surprised and held out her hand to her as she lay on the floor.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes…… You’re really good at fighting than that. The same goes for cutting it right away…….”
“What? “This is basic.”
“It’s basic against such a big wolf…… You’re not particularly surprised…… As expected, you are the person who won first place in the competition.”
“No. To be honest, I also had a feeling that he was a wolf. “I was very surprised because I had no idea it would be this big.”
It is so large that it is quite difficult to carry it on your back.
It seemed like he would have had a lot of trouble if he had chased after us instead of us.
Syaoran nodded his head and stood up, holding my hand.
Finally, with a sigh, she bit her lip slightly.
“Anyway, it’s a shame because that person fights well. “He was almost killed by wolves.”
“Because we are in a disadvantageous environment.”
“Whoa…” … I’m an aspiring hunter, but I’m nervous and hesitate…… I got kicked by her tail and fell…….”
“Well, that can happen in life.”
Syaoran picked up the dagger that had fallen on the floor.
She approached the dead wolf.
“In China, if you make a mistake like this, your work is cut off…… Tsk…… I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen next time. Sorry.”
A word full of guilt.
At the same time, he held the dagger backwards as if he was grooming a wolf.
“Huh? Are you going to dismantle it here and now? “Do you know how to dismantle it?”
“I know to some extent. “Chinese hunters can’t make a living if they can’t do things like dismember their game.”
“Aha…… However, in my personal opinion, I don’t think dismantling it here is very hygienic.”
I pointed around.
It was dark, but it smelled and there was something that looked like bat droppings rolling around on one side.
There wouldn’t be any problem if it was dismantled here.
Still, I thought it would be better for hygiene reasons to dismantle it after leaving.
“…… That’s right. Then I’ll go out and dismantle it.”
“For that to happen, I have to take it with me. Syaoran, please lift your hind legs. “I will lift my front leg.”
“Yes.”
I moved my seat.
I picked up her front legs and she picked up her back legs.
I was just about to lift it in that state.
I quickly removed my hand from my leg.
“Huh? “Why don’t you hold on to your front leg?”
“Wait a minute. “Isn’t this a knife mark on the stomach?”
The side of the wolf.
There was a large scar left there.
Because only that part was missing hair, it was especially noticeable.
I touched the scar with my hand.
“It’s happening, right?”
It hasn’t happened completely, but it has happened to some extent.
It looks like the wound has healed strangely, but how deep did it have to be to end up like this?
“I think other people tried to hunt it in the past and missed it.”
“I missed it…… It seems like that, but… ….”
I turned my head and looked at the guy’s severed head.
The blood around my mouth felt particularly strange.
“This guy came out from inside the cave. “What’s inside there?”
“Huh? Would you like to go inside?”
“Something is strange. “I think it would be a good idea to go if you can come and go in about 5 minutes.”
I took a step.
More magical power has been allocated to the eyes.
He even held on tightly to the magically imbued sword in case of emergency.
It was a horsepower-luxury that would not have been possible if the amount of horsepower had been small.
Blow, hit, hit.
I think I walked for about 1 minute.
The end of an ordinary cave has been revealed.
A small puddle of water.
Half-destroyed hunting equipment.
Unidentified flesh and blood.
A lump of leather and fur that appears to be suspicious clothing.
There.
“Knight?”
Even the knight sitting in the corner.
I couldn’t even feel a slight movement from him.
Me and Syaoran approached cautiously in silence.
Most people have a feeling of “What if?”
The closer I got, the more information came into view.
Judging by the size of the steam engine on his back, his level is about a squire or low-level expert.
Judging by the weapon lying next to it, the main weapon is a sword.
There is a possibility of excessive bleeding, as blood is everywhere on the garment.
I approached it by analyzing it in that way.
Then I tapped his leg.
“Huh?”
There was no such thing as strength.
I immediately tried to take off the guy’s helmet with my sword.
Slowly, slowly.
He lifted the sword inserted into the eye hole of his helmet.
And I looked at the face hidden by the helmet.
He is a knight.
“…… Wow, he’s dead.”
“That was quite a long time ago.”
The white bone itself.
It had already turned into a skeleton character that made exclamations come out.
