It’s easy.
They are probably earning time.
Other people – perhaps are using this time to escape from the rear door.
Please don’t let them through here. Even a little, we need to earn time for the people to escape! OO!
As if to answer my thoughts, the men who are fighting raise a roar and encourage themselves.
There’s no doubt.
They literally earn time by risking their lives.
The time others are using to escape, even if only a little more.
Are you serious. To do such a thing, I can’t do that .
I definitely don’t want to imitate them
Why are they so desperate?
Is that it? Because your family or your loved ones are inside?
Well, if it was me, I would still give priority to myself over others.
After all I want to run .
I can’t.
I don’t like those people.
The weather is getting cloudy and it’s going to rain, let’s withdraw early.
Momo in my arms raises its voice.
Can I? It seemed to ask.
Ah, let’s forsake those people. Momo. . Are you the opposite? . Wan.
After a while, Momo answers.
It seemed to say, it’s fine if we leave.
Momo agreed with me, I was a little relieved.
I understand. Well, Momo. Please use the Shadow』at my signal. At the same time, I’ll also unwrap the Concealment』. After that, let’s run.
Momo agrees and I try to unwrap the Concealment』.
At that moment – there is a change in the battle.
The High Orc which refrained to move from the background began to.
Anxiety runs in the face of the men.
What are they going to do?
The High Orc moves only a few steps forwards and breaths slowly.
At that moment, my whole body freezes.
- Hh! Bad! Something’s coming!
An unthinkable something bad』！
In that evidence, the other orcs stop the battle at once and distance themselves from the men.
Then, they take a stance, cross their arms and prepare for something.
The men stare at the strange behavior of the Orcs.
Momo! Let my whole body wear Shadow』
Momo, whether she was alerted by the danger, used the Shadow』 from Shadow manipulation at the same time I gave my instruction.
Momo’s Shadow』covers my whole body.
In this state, I crouched on the spot so as to cover Momo.
The next moment, the High Orc Roar』
OooOooOooOoo Ooo Oho!！!』 ～～～～～Hhh！!
The cry becomes a physical apocalypse spreading to the surroundings.
Like an electric shock, the atmosphere was trembling. Seriously.
The stone pavement peels off and cracks run on the exposed ground.
The glasses from the shopping mall and the surrounding buildings crumbled and fell on the ground.
Only a few seconds.
The scream of an instant seemed like a forever catastrophe to the surroundings.
-Hh! Haa, haa, haa. . . Momo, are you okay? . . . Kuun. . .
Although it was weak, there was a reply.
What the hell, that momentous Roar』 . . ?
Is there a scream that can ignores the laws of physics?
No, it’s probably a Skill』.
I’m not aware of its name, but the Roar』skill brings extensive destruction.
The one the High Orc used.
I lean forward just a little and look at the front.
Nah ?
The people who were fighting in front of the entrance were all collapsed, blood gushing from their whole bodies.
Dead.
They’re definitely dead.
The High Orc raises his hand.
The other Orcs stormed inside the shopping mall at the signal.
You’re going to hunt the people who are sieged.
Looking at the other Orcs entering the shopping mall, the High Orc follows right after.
However, it’s foot stops unexpectedly.
When I wonder what happened- Its gaze turns to My direction』.
Hhh!
Our gaze met.
Even if we’re separated from dozens of meters.
I’m sure the skill Concealment』is active.
Clearly, his gaze turned to me.
And then – that guy laughed.
It looked at me and laughed from the bottom of its heart.
Dangerous, dangerous dangerous, dangerous dangerous dangerous!
Hahhahhahhahhaahaa
My heart seems to burst as hard as the laughter.
My breathing got strange.
Death.
This word floats in my head.
Proficiency has reached a sufficient level. ≫ The skill Fear resistance rose from LV2 to LV3. ≫ The skill Fear resistane rose from LV3 to LV4. ≫ The skill Stress tolerance rose from LV2 to LV3. ≫ The skill Stress tolerance rose from LV3 to LV4. ≫ The skill Hostility perception rose from LV3 to LV4. ≫ The skill Crisis perception rose from LV4 to LV5. ≫ The skill Fear resistance rose from LV4 to LV5. ≫ Meeting certain conditions≫ Skill Getaway』is now available≫ Skill Defense instinct』is now available≫
There’s a lot of announcements inside my head.
But there was no room for them right now.
I don’t want to die.
I don’t want to die.
It was the only thing buried inside my head.
It’s raining.
The drops hit my face.
Hih!
For a moment, I thought the High Orc was going to attack but a miserable voice came out.
The High Orc scorns at my figure and takes his eyes off me.
It disappeared into the mall.
I’m saved.
Apparently, I seem to have been overlooked.
Instantly, Momo’s Shadow』and my Concealment』are lifted.
Then we ran far away from the place.
Dangerous.
This is dangerous.
Flee.
I run away with my best.
In the pouring rain, even a little farther away.
Beyond the sight of that High Orc.
That monster is different. This monster is clearly Different』from others
Haah Haah !
It’s useless.
I can’t stay like this.
I’d die. I will die someday.
Da . Damn ！
I have to become stronger.
With Momo.
Stronger than I am now.
To survive.
Joeemm Merry Christmas readers .hope with all the ham and turkey and gifts you get the time to appreciate this “reading” Christmas from all of us here .Happy Holidays
CH 16
Chapter 16 – Rest, remorse and the future
The route from where I came, I can’t remember it at all.
Night fell before I could even notice.
In the rain, Momo and I desperately continued running.
I avoided fighting with monsters as much as possible.
Even battles that I could obviously win against a lone Goblin or a lone zombie, I evaded them and kept running.
Nether Momo nor me were calm.
h
Eventually, we ended up in my own old apartment.
We got up the stairs and entered the room.
With my key I closed the door and fell on the mat. The place was completely dark.
I was soaked wet. And this feeling .
Haa . But I’m still alive .
I survived.
Came across that dreadful monster but I survived.
From my Item box, I took out water and food.
Within plates, I pour the water and pass it with food to Momo.
Then I drank from the remaining water that is inside the bottle.
Nguh Nguh Puwah.
Water is delicious. This water was so tasty.
I drank it in a flash.
Momo seemed to say it isn’t having enough; with its paw it is holding the plate.
All right, there is more.
For a while Momo and I continue to drink water.
Haa~~~ .
The feeling has finally settled.
I was scared.
Never in my life have I felt so close to death.
What the hell, that monster.
It’s strange but this is so ridiculous.
This Orc definitely isn’t something you meet early in the game.
This is definitely the kind of game where you would dump your controller on the side and return to sell it, saying the difficulty is outrageous.
