Chapter 135: Emotional Reunion
Chapter 135
Ch . 135 Emotional Reunion
I place Nina, who was holding the ball rabbit, on my back and advance in the opposite direction the soldiers escaped .
It would only get complicated if we were to encounter humans .
Actually, I'm wondering if I should even be traveling with Nina . Frankly speaking, if the effects of [[Dragon Scales]] begins to appear, it won't be a funny matter .
When the time limit was coming to a close, I thought that it would be fine with that walled city...but I think that may be the worst place after seeing how those soldiers reacted towards Nina .
Well, even if I say so I don't really have another plan, since even the person herself said that she had no place to go . Even walking around and waiting for a proper place with the right conditions, is comparable to trying to find a ring dropped in the desert .
If I look for a river connected to the ocean, would I be able to get back to the forest I entrusted to the orangutans?
No, won't Miria and the village treat me badly if I do?
I won't be able to show my face after attacking the villagers and escaping, so I'll just have to put them near the village and let them go on by themselves . Perhaps this is the most realistic solution . However, until then, Nina will be exposed to [[Dragon Scales]]...and I have no idea how long it's been going .
Besides, I don't see a river anywhere .
Nina's physical strength will decrease if I move too quickly . If that happens, her immune system may fall and the progress of [[Dragon Scales]] may accelerate .
Ah, there's obstacles from every direction .
It might be better to borrow some of the soldiers baggage and look for a map or something . No, even if I caught one person, there will be various stories popping up of me . Since it would be better for me if their wasn't any strange grudges directed towards me, I won't move in that direction .
Well, it may just make it worse and confusing to try to force your opponent into talking...should I just find someone who isn't hostile?
If I walk around in this desert I may run into a soldier in a carriage or at least meet with someone... . That's the only choice .
When the time limit comes to a close...I'm sorry, but that walled city would be the only place I could go . Next break I take I will have the ball rabbit use its full MP so that I could talk with Nina .
While walking, I could see a black horse running in the distance .
Oh, that looks like Hagen's beloved horse, Maria .
It seems that it did not return to its master in the end and just started wandering around .
Will you be able to return home safely to Hagen?
Unlike the large centipede, I'm not a sore loser who will chase you down .
When Maria noticed me, it ran away at full power .
I will stay away from the walled city... . That one will not go home anymore . Since I will feel bad going the same way, change direction .
The scenery doesn't change after continuously walking . To that extent, it is too vast .
What made them build a town surrounded with a magic border and a wall in such a place . I wonder if there are oil fields or something .
Suddenly I felt a bad sign, I stop and look around .
The origin of the sign should be close, but I don't see any monsters that I should worry about .
The moment I thought that it was empty, the ground before me exploded and sand scattered . From the hypo-center, I saw a huge head with a figure that I knew .
"Gijijijijijijijijijijii!"
An unpleasant cry that sounds like rubbing resonates all around .
Race: Giant Sand Centipede
State: Normal
Lv: 63/80
HP: 455/455
MP: 241/241
It came .
I came across a guy that I did not want to meet again .
Why are you meeting me so much? Do you like me?
Perhaps this huge centipede doesn't fit in this desert . It's the same individual .
Rather, why did you excavate such a large hole?
You should also dig me a den... . Or did you do this thinking of me .
Let's enter into my escape position now .
Fleeing into the sky...is not an option .
Last time I was overlooked because there were other targets, also [[Flight]] won't be able to shake off that huge centipede . Just picturing the huge centipede firing off that beam makes it clear that I will run out of stamina and get cut before being able to land .
Then, the only way is to run away at maximum speed with [[Roll]] .
I lightly jump and flick Nina and the ball rabbit into the air .
"Pefu!?" "hinyaa!?"
I turn my face up and catch them with my mouth .
Just like that I kick the ground and jump forward and to the side, and change to [[Roll]] mid air .
I can hear the ball rabbit cry in protest from my mouth, but forgive me as right now it's an emergency .
I don't want to lose you .
So just wash your body after .
There are no obstacles anywhere around as everything is sand . [[Roll]] is good for such a landscape .
It's the best in the desert .
"GiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJii"
... . . I'd be great if he didn't do that thought .
Even though it looks like I got a head start on it . I don't know how long I have to run away until I've actually managed to run away .
As expected, I have to raise my level quickly .
Even if I can't defeat the huge centipede, I want to become strong enough to the point that it feels that there's no point in attacking me .
Even though I used a full power dash towards the horizon, even though it's a trauma, it shoots a long distance beam, as it grows suddenly from the ground, this is a seriously bad nightmare .
At any rate, I thought that maybe there will be a horse drawn carriage crossing the desert to distract the huge centipede .
Come on, someone .
This is almost suicidal .
When I slightly took a glimpse backwards, I saw the huge centipede staring at me while I was scattering sand around .
Saliva dripped out of its mouth and when it touched it ground, it made a sound as it melted the sand .
Well, it's useless if it doesn't hit right?
Really, what is that guy's problem .
Isn't that at the level of being a biological weapon already?
Anyway, the distance between us is opening up quite nicely . It seems that it would be better to prepare for a long drawn out battle .
Oh wait! If Nina sticks around for too long her physical strength will weaken!
In this desert, slugs are ten times stronger than humans, and centipedes are 100 times stronger than the slugs .
Seriously, what's up with this desert .
