11. Survival rule number one: don’t eat anything (5)
I don’t prefer a head-to-head confrontation.
It’s natural. Because confronting monsters head-on was no different from protesting to be killed. Bears seemed to be able to tear apart a person with a single swing of their front paws, and snakes seemed to be able to easily swallow an adult man.
It was only possible for superhumans to confront such people head-on.
Not just a drifter living far away like me.
But that doesn’t mean I’ve been using traps and poisons all this time. There’s no way you can survive on this uninhabited island without dreams and hopes with traps and poison alone. On an uninhabited island full of trickery, you must have at least some means of defense.
So, this time it was my turn to use my body.
“…Aren’t you coming?”
I ate poison mushrooms and the taste went away, but is a warrior a warrior? Leni, who naturally stopped about ten paces away from me, leaned slightly forward and raised both fists. His appearance was in danger of collapsing, but his momentum was a seasoned warrior himself.
A boring and bloody confrontation continued under the hot sunlight.
I had no intention of losing in this endless battle of endurance. But in the end, the perspective is on my side. A stinger with a strong anesthetic hit her throat. In the end, it will take care of itself over time, and she will collapse.
Continuing the confrontation composition like this was not a bad option for me.
So, that means it’s not me who takes the lead.
The ground rumbles. Are you a beast or a human? Dirt obscures the view. I swung the shovel with all my might, ready to hit a home run. The sound of the wind cutting through the shadows in the dust.
A heavy shock runs through the palm of your hand. The sound of metal colliding with metal. The dust cleared, and Lenny appeared.
My shovel was stuck in the back of Lenny’s hand. I retrieved the shovel, which couldn’t move no matter how hard I tried, and took two steps back.
Fortunately, Lenny didn’t have the strength to cling to me right away, so I stood still and caught her breath.
“…Lady Karina…Where…”
I got goosebumps at the eyes glaring at me with a look that wouldn’t be strange if I collapsed right away. How is he holding on in a situation where an anesthetic is circulating all over his body in a state of ruin?
Is this the power of a person with a heavy body, a dizzy mind, and blurred eyes?
I fix my weapon.. My hands are full of sweat. Confirming once again that the fight would never be easy, I turned the blade of the shovel at an angle.
Shall I stab, slap, or cut?
My choice is-
Poke the shovel into Lenny’s chest. Lennie reflexively grabbed her hands and tried to grab my shovel, but I turned the shovel blade slightly so that it hit Lennie’s palm with the sharp blade instead of the shovel. If it was an ordinary shovel, it would have been crushed by brute force.
But my shovel is no ordinary shovel.
A shovel made of bone, which is harder than steel, was accidentally found after going through many broken shovels. It is a shovel that does not bend even when the bear chief weighs several tons. No matter how strong Lenny is, this shovel will not bend.
As proof, Lenny’s palms were stained with blood. It’s like putting your hand on the blade, so it’s natural. I broke Leni’s armor and pounded her on the chest. The swordsman of monstrous power showed a monstrous movement that minimized the damage by turning his body even in the middle of it.
“…If I had been fine, I would have died.”
The fragment of the final boss, who must have been on the verge of death, gave me goosebumps. If it was in a normal state, the upper body and lower body would have been separated in the blink of an eye, let alone one. Suppressing the fear of death that gently raised my head, I held back the shovel I had retrieved.
“Lady Karina…”
Leni clenched her fists unconcerned, even as her fingers were torn apart and blood was dripping. Are you incapable of pain because of the anesthetic? He’s a tough guy who would appear in a Hollywood blockbuster movie, so he might not care about that.
Still, this is enough to lay the foundation for verbal persuasion. You know at least that I’m not easy.
After thinking for a while, I spoke up.
“I have Karina with me. If you want to meet me, be quiet-“
“This bastard… !”
A voice filled with anger is directed at me. Why? What did i do wrong Before my doubts could be resolved, Lenny rushed at me. Leap like a tiger rushing at you.
It attacks while drawing a curve. It was a simple movement, but it was me who would turn to mush if we collided head-on. Instinctively, I rolled over to dodge Lenny’s charge, grabbed her shovel upside down, and hit her ankle with the handle.
As the handle hit my ankle, I felt a heavy blow. Did you break your ankle?
I couldn’t tell because there was no response. He staggered slightly, but that was not enough evidence that he had broken his ankle.
So, let’s take advantage of the pause and hit him a few more times. I hit Lenny’s ankle again before he attacks again. Leni’s reaction was getting slower and slower, probably because the medicinal effect was gradually circulating.
“Give back Miss Karina…”
Despite that, Lenny’s counterattack was strong. She swung her arms to break my head, then stretched out her fists and tried to crush my face, one after another. However, I was able to block Lenny’s attack with less than 10% of my normal strength, as it was already slow.
Block it with a shovel and hit it.
When trying to snatch the shovel, grab the shovel and twist your wrist. With that alone, Lenny’s resistance collapsed in vain.
In the end, it ended up being a one-sided hit, but the opponent is not an ordinary human being.
You don’t know when the wild beast will wake up and stick its mouth out, but if you’re not careful, you’ll die.
Although it was a bit excessive, I was able to finish the breathtaking bloody fight by knocking out Lenny, who had lost even the strength to resist, with a shovel.
It’s not dead, it’s fainting.
It’s not revenge for the astonishing difficulty level of 72 in the game.
“…I have to say that I brought back the wounded from the fight with the bear chief.”
…I didn’t have the confidence to tell Karina honestly.
From noble mtl dot com.
——————————–
So, one more patient has been added to the uninhabited island life.
It’s a pity that there are no normal people. Karina and Lenny will do their part as long as their bodies get better, but until then, I’ll have to live on this terrible uninhabited island by myself.
…Should I take off all the armor and take it? It’s heavy because of the armor.
The dented armor stabbing my back stings. By the time I get home, I wonder if my back will hurt. It’s embarrassing to say that I was scratched and injured while carrying it on my back.
“Lady Karina…”
Terrible. Terrible. To think that he was looking for Karina even while he was wandering between her death and near death. If you think about it, there was a story behind Lenny that Karina saved her life and swore allegiance to her. I remember that there was such a story in a story video someone put together on X-tube.
For better or for worse, Lenny was a popular character.
She’s one of the few female bosses at Survival Academy. Because of her vicious difficulty, she gained notoriety.
As she walked, thinking about things with a much lighter mind, she began to see her house.
I was thinking of going to pick up Karina after putting her on the bed at home. A house would be better for nursing than a shelter with nowhere to lie down.
“I will have to collect caterpillars again for a while… Huh?”
In the corner of my vision as I was looking ahead, a strange shape was dimly reflected. I immediately turned my eyes and looked at the unfamiliar shape.
Snake.
It’s a snake.
It also has two heads.
It was the size of a rattlesnake, but it stood out because of its brown and yellow color. When the two-headed warrior met my eyes, he turned around and quickly ran away.
Is it scouting?
The power structure of the uninhabited island is changing rapidly, so are you trying to figure out the situation? What else is that cunning bastard up to? I need to buy time for at least 15 days.
Even with Karina’s healing magic, Lenny’s condition doesn’t seem to get better any time soon.
It’s all the bears’ fault. Anyway, yes. She should’ve offered it to Lenny. Can’t the guys who live in the wild tell the difference between a guy who is stronger than he is? So don’t get destroyed.
Whoops, you pitiful bastards.
Let’s go home quickly.
I hurried on again and arrived home. I open the door and set Lenny down on the bed.
Looking back, I feel guilty.
But since this was the best, I have something to say. I wish I could live anyway.
I immediately turned to my hiding place, opened the door, and looked down. The warm air welcomes me. It felt good to feel the air heated by the wood fire passing through my body. It feels like coming back home.
“Karina! Come out!”
“Yes! Wait a minute!”
At my words, Karina came up with some items. Karina looked at me with her happy face, and when she saw the scars on my body, she looked up at me with worried eyes, she asked.
“You are not seriously injured… ?”
“I am fine. And there are patients.”
“A patient?”
I nodded and pointed to a house in the distance. Karina followed my finger and turned her gaze back to the house, then she looked back at me. A professional face showing concern for patients.
“Let’s go quickly.”
The two of us headed straight home. Upon arriving home, Karina found Lenny lying on the bed and screamed in surprise.
“Lenny!”
Well, a touching reunion.
Looking at Karina’s teary-eyed back, I thought.
