Maybe it’s because it’s still early days, but when I absorb power, my stats go up, and the sense of accomplishment is incredible.

Especially since I had a way to see this with my own eyes, I felt it even more clearly.

Isn’t that the way to level up quickly when you haven’t leveled up much?

“Your abilities are definitely deceptive.”

Additionally, the great thing about Damon’s abilities was that I could grow them by adding strength to the stats I wanted.

Like Gabriel, all abilities can be grown in a balanced manner.

Of course, as the level of ability increases, the requirements will increase, so this may slow down growth.

However, for someone like me who has very low basic stats, it seemed better to have balanced growth rather than intensive growth.

-Do you know that now? When I was in my prime, I was once revered as a god!

“Anyway, it’s my spirit now. “It’s the size of your palm.”

-Is your palm this big?!

Damon, who was already very sensitive due to his small size, flapped his wings as if he was annoyed by my words.

Anyway, I’m sensitive to people criticizing me.

Plus, he loved being praised so much, and I couldn’t figure out how a guy who was so honest about his feelings could have done such a devious thing in the past.

I grabbed the beak of the guy who was huffing and raving about how great he was.

-what are you doing?

Since the horse does not really communicate by opening its beak, there was no problem in speaking even if it was done this way.

Instead of explaining it, I gave Damon strength.

– Yes!!

“Don’t make strange noises.”

-It’s because they suddenly gave it to me! I want you to talk and ask.

Even though he grunts, he swallows the strength I give him in one gulp.

“That’s enough now, right?”

-no! Give me more! It’s still not enough!

“It’s a pig. “You can’t gain weight.”

-How hard I worked! Are you saying you have no strength left to do what your master tells you to do?

Perhaps because he knew that no matter how much I insisted, he couldn’t break my stubbornness, he suddenly opened his pitiful eyes kindly and said,

-I’m really hungry. I’m so hungry I feel like I’m going to pass out.

“Ugh. “Okay, that’s it.”

-Oops!

I couldn’t bear the moist eyes, so I ended up giving him a little more strength.

“What should we do now?”

While hunting monsters, I accidentally got involved in another team’s work and rescued people, and I felt a bit let down.

Normally, I would have eaten and rested, but perhaps because I had just absorbed energy, I wasn’t hungry at all.

I could take some time to absorb strength, but my stamina was still too strong to rest.

‘Let’s just go hunting again.’

There was still a lot of time left before joining Thalia.

‘Shall we go a little deeper?’

The monsters at the beginning didn’t seem to be more threatening than the monsters before.

If you go deeper, new monsters will appear.

and.

‘It’s normal for people I know to come out soon.’

When I beat the stage in the game, the guys I saw had to come out.

That way, I will be able to use the knowledge I have.

‘Let’s go until we see a familiar monster.’

Perhaps because I had gained strength, my confidence had swelled to the max.

I became confident that I could defeat even stronger monsters.

As I went deeper inside, the ecosystem changed dramatically.

Rustle- Rustle-

The sound of insects screeching was heard everywhere.

There was no way the bugs that survived in the contaminated area were ordinary.

In fact, a chameleon-like creature with skin the same color as the tree was attached to a large tree and was making sounds similar to cicadas.

The problem was that the guy was the same size as my forearm and his appearance was as horrible as an insect.

“Ugh, my stomach is hurt.”

It’s best to deal with a guy like that by keeping him as far away as possible.

The one with a face like a grasshopper, which was watching me closely as it turned its head 360 degrees, quickly spread its wings and lunged at me.

Bibibi- Bibibi-

The loud sound of wings flapping gets menacingly closer.

I used my telekinesis to push the guy away.

Buuuung~!!!!

The guy wasn’t easily defeated by telekinesis.

I tried to resist my telekinesis by flapping my wings more.

Meanwhile, I was holding the ax with both hands and running towards him.

Ji-ing -!

Chiik~!

“Ugh!”

The moment when I tried to cut the flesh of the chubby guy.

Its eyes glowed yellow, and yellow beams of light, like lasers, shot into my body.

thud!

In the end, I couldn’t use all my strength due to the excruciating pain I felt in my skin, and I had to distance myself by barely scratching the surface.

“It won’t be easy from now on, right?”

It was similar to a laser in nature, but the area where it was hit felt hot and it felt like a burn.

However, it is still at a manageable level.

I took out a small ax from my belt and threw it at the guy’s eyes.

The small ax that was spinning and flying forward got stuck in the guy’s wing.

It moved to avoid my attack, but accidentally got stuck in the wing.

Wow!

With a scream that was not like an insect, it moved its injured wings and flew high into the sky.

It seems that the small ax wasn’t enough to completely disable the wings.

Still, it will be impossible to move as usual due to damaged wings.

It means that I will be able to catch up with him.

He kicked off the ground and went up into the sky.

No, I was going to do that.

Bibibbibibbip-!

The guy suddenly started running away.

“?”

Since that guy is a living being, I think he can run away if his life is threatened.

But isn’t it a bit too much to jump out after just getting hit, rather than running away after a fierce fight?

and.

“hey! “Give me the ax and go!”

The small ax I had thrown was still stuck near its wings.

I didn’t want to go through the trouble of finding an ax that would fit my hand again, so I decided to follow him.

“You’re quick.”

However, while I was frozen for a moment, the guy disappeared without a trace.

It seemed like a clever guy had gotten into the trees.

“But I won’t be able to find it at all.”

I found blood stains on a tree branch and moved toward the direction the blood stains continued.

I remember it clinging to a tree and wearing protective colors.

If I kept chasing him, there was a high chance that he would hide somewhere.

“How intelligent is a bug subject?”

The blood stain had stopped at some point.

‘I think he probably hid around here… .’

From now on, it was a battle of patience.

“You should look for it too.”

-fool. If you had just told me, I would have caught you.

“This too is an experience.”

If you always ask Damon to overcome a crisis, you will ultimately not be able to grow.

The experience of finding monsters like this now will come in handy in the future.

of course.

‘I can’t see it.’

When I got to the point where I thought it would be better to just give up the axe, my thoughts changed a bit.

“I’m just going to tear it up.”

Damon also shrugged and said he couldn’t find it, so there was no other option.

In the end, I tore up the monster tracking scroll, and absurdly, a monster was detected 3 minutes away.

“under.”

I was annoyed that he had used a scroll right in front of my nose, so I decided to vent my anger by killing him and moved quickly.

“Here…” ! Eh? “Why are you guys here?”

But when I arrived, what was on the scroll was a completely different person.

Ridiculously enough, this guy was someone I knew.

Just today, I killed 17 of these guys.

“I was wondering why I couldn’t see you, so why did you come all the way here?”

It’s a little deeper than the entrance, so it’s not a place you can’t come to.

Still, I shook my head as I thought of the people who were eagerly looking for these guys.

‘It may be a bit of a struggle, but the fact that these guys came this way means that the remaining group is safe.’

I guess you’re here because you gave up?

“Chicken instead of pheasant.” “Consider it unlucky that you got it from me.”

I lifted the ax.

I was thinking of getting back at these guys for the lost small axe.

Kwasik! Kwasik! Kwasik!

Three of them rushed at me at once, but there was no way that just three of them could handle me.

Damon also took care of one of the animals and took care of it, so the treatment was very simple.

“I guess I’ll have to eat generously this time too.”

By now, he must have sensed the commotion and hid further away.

I pressed my butt against the rock, expressing my condolences to the small ax that I could never get back.

I was so focused on catching him that I looked around and my eyes became dry and stiff.

-Owner, look over there.

“why? “What do you have?”

While I was absorbing the three fish I caught, Damon called me to see if he had found something.

I thought I might have found a small axe, so I got up and moved to the place Damon pointed.

-Try to clear the bushes over there.

As Damon told us, we cut down the thick bushes and cleaned them up.

Then, an open cave suddenly pops out.

“cave?”

-There’s a woman collapsed in there. It seemed like she was the woman they were looking for earlier.

I wonder if he did something extraordinary that he wasn’t asked to do for some reason, but if that was true, I couldn’t just leave him alone.

“Then I guess those guys didn’t just give up and come here, but they came here after the woman.”

-I guess so.

“They were persistent guys. “Is it really that the woman who ran away here is so great?”

Didn’t he run all the way here with three of them on his back and hide?

It’s true that the woman who succeeded in running away was amazing.

Of course, I was the craziest person when I randomly found a woman while wandering around the forest trying to retrieve the small axe.

“Is there only a woman in there?”

-There was nothing dangerous.

Well, I guess that means he’s hiding here.

“Are you there?”

I should have at least known the name of the missing woman.

I pretended to be present and went inside to prepare for any unexpected situation.

If the hiding woman got wary of me and attacked me, it could have been fatal in this small space.
