Chapter 136: Sacrifice
Chapter 136
Ch . 136 Sacrifice
While running from the huge centipede I could start to see the sea coming closer . Hmm, if I were to jump into the sea would the huge centipede chase after me? I wonder what kind of effects salt water has on an insect... . . Well it's useless to think about this right now if I get killed instantly .
I slightly change my course after taking a quick peek to the back, so I could run parallel to the sea .
I should keep going a little further . I'm thankful that there is plenty of room for me to escape in case of emergency .
At the bend, I saw a monster in the distance .

What, Oh, is it the three-headed camel?
I consider the three headed camel to be a high quality food . It has plenty of taste and the meat is lean . Probably because I eat cactus all the time . Among all of the things that I've eaten, it was the most delicious, that's even including the forest .
Someday, I'd like to try it with Phi perris .
It's something that I would like to hunt, bake, grill, salt and eat deliciously, but unfortunately I can't afford that .
Should I deliberately avoid it and hurry ahead?
No, if I continue this way would I be able to change the centipedes target?
Even a huge centipede just wants some food, so it would appreciate prey it can easily hunt .
It's bad, but let's have the three headed camel become a sacrifice .
I line up to the three headed camel and continue running in a straight line towards it .
"nogue!?"
The three headed camel that noticed me had all three faces dyed in fear, and it tries to escape .
I'll be scared .
Especially if a large rigid rolling ball twice my size was coming straight at me like a fastball .
If I was a human, I'm sure that even if I escaped it would become a trauma . Maybe I would even scream and cry out every time I saw a marble .
But, at that speed it can't run away from me . Even if I wasn't rolling, id still be able to catch that three headed camel .
While being chased by the huge centipede, and going out of my way to chase after the three headed camel, the distance between the three headed camel is gradually reduced .
Don't feel bad, camel . This is just the way it works . That's the food chain pyramid .
Life is also sometimes regrettable .
"nogue... . nogue... . "
I tackle the back of the three headed camel lightly . Just enough for it to drop its speed, and it rises and spins backwards .
"nnobu!"
I feel that my hit breaks some of the three headed camels bones .
Sorry, really I'm sorry .
Without the purpose of eating, driving down monsters and killing them somehow makes me feel...guilty .

Ooh, it was in instant death?
Hitting a monster with [[Roll]] at maximum speed at this rank can kill them .
It seems that I could effectively level up if I were to run around targeting D ranked monsters .
I will take a look at the huge centipede to see if the strategy went well .
I saw a three headed camel flying towards the huge centipede .
Alright, that's good .
Lets calm down and see what happens .
"Gonbecha!"
Bruising and sticky sounds, ring out at the same time . The body of the three headed camel brilliantly gets hit clean by the body of the huge centipede . The body of the three headed camel which crashed into the huge centipede with its strong shell, couldn't endure the vigorous speed and exploded . The front legs, hind legs and three heads scattered around, and splash blood all about .
In contrast to how I thought it was going to turn out, the scene was to spectacular and my focus was nailed down behind me .
I'm sorry three headed camel .
I did not mean this .
As expected, it wasn't enough to damage the huge centipedes high defensive power, but it looks like it was enough to provoke the opponent .
"GiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJii!"
The heated up huge centipede screeches loudly as it comes closer to me at a speed faster than before .
Why, how did this happen .
Any hope I had to settle this matter was now gone .
However, it's not all bad .
Since its now going faster than it was before, it has not considered the burden on their stamina now that it is rushing in anger .
It won't last for long, is what I'd like to think... .
I don't slacken my pace and continue rolling at an appropriate speed .
According to my expectation the (Remember my name) sound that it cries out every now and then has gotten further and further away .
This is good .
If I continue at this pace, Nina will really be in danger . The ball rabbit... . well, it looks tough, so it'll be fine .
The camels sacrifice was effective as a result .
Let's go back down this road later and cook... . hold a service .
It will lighten the ball rabbits mood as well .
It will be pretty painful if you decide to stop using [[Telepathy]] and [[Clean]] after all .
The moment I felt relieved and relaxed a little bit, I felt a chill from the back .
This feeling, I remember .
Taking a quick glance back, I see a red light gathering in the mouth of the huge centipede .
It's here, the high powered and long range, nightmare centipedes beam [[Heat Ray]] .
When I think about it, it slowed down before it shot off a beam the last time .
Should I have realized it when I stopped hearing its cry?
What do I do?
Last time I dealt with it with a sharp fall, but right now I'm running on the ground .
Is it avoidable on this plane?
If I escape into the air, I can increase the distance, but there's also the risk that I might just get killed instantly the moment I fall back to the ground . I have to manage to avoid it somehow on the ground .
To be honest it is pretty dangerous, but that's the only option .
I can escape from the huge centipede if I manage to overcome this next attack .
Please avoid it, me .
If I make a mistake here, the ball rabbit and Nina will also be eaten .
