Skeleton Skeleton

Americano’s dialogue is changed to ‘()’.

She deflected the Magic Bullet with her sword.

No, she slashed it.

[Slash]

The Magic Bullet Lich fired with his finger aimed at her.

She twisted the blade again and [Slash].

Thwack.

In the dark shadows of the forest.

A blackened mass of Magical Power.

It possessed lethality and was fired from a dark place, making it difficult to see with the eyes.

But she slashed it.

Thwack.

Swish.

Each time she slashed the Darkness Bullet, it went thwack.

She poured in all her focus.

Gauging the position and timing of the Darkness Bullet.

Slashed the Darkness Bullet according to the timing.

It was a sudden ambush.

The night deepened,

She was about to sleep.

She knew it was crazy to sleep in a monster-infested forest, but what could she do when sleep came?

There happened to be an abandoned shack in the forest, and she was about to close her eyes there.

Something got caught in a trap.

There was a sound, and a Darkness Bullet flew.

The one who avoided the Electrical Signal and appeared was an Undead.

Moreover, a rare Skeleton that used magic.

Without possessing metal objects, it was extremely difficult to detect with Electrical Ability.

So, she had set up a trap in a section near the shack where it was easy to pass by, making a sound. It got caught perfectly.

Thwack.

Slash.

[Slash]

[Slash]

[Slash]

[Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash]

[Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash]

This is kind of fun too.

‘I like guys who live up to their name.’

Lich’s Darkness Bullet.

Not being able to see it makes her nervous for no reason.

She deflected them all.

‘I won’t miss a single one…!’

[Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash] [Slash]

Countless Slashes.

Slashing upwards.

Slashing downwards.

Slashing at different angles.

Slash, slash, slash.

She gradually got used to it.

The Darkness Bullet was invisible in the forest shadows at night, but the deathly aura mixed with Magical Power was not something easily erased.

She hadn’t seen it often, and she still couldn’t see it now, but there was no practice like actual combat.

Darkness Bullet.

She slashed it.

“Haha…!”

Fun.

She kicked off the ground and took a step towards Lich.

Even if she got used to it, the Darkness Bullet was an invisible bullet.

Sensing the firing speed of the Darkness Bullet.

One step according to the timing.

Two steps.

Three steps.

She took big steps forward.

She slashed the Darkness Bullet upwards.

She slashed it downwards.

Slashed upwards again and then a horizontal Slash.

[Lich]

Red letters.

Darkness Bullets fly.

She swung her sword and slashed.

Slash, slash, slash, slashed.

She got closer with each Slash.

[Lich] nonchalantly fired Darkness Bullets and received Americano’s sword to the neck.

As if not afraid of dying, her sword severed [Lich]’s neck.

She mixed [Phantom Sword] into the skull that was spinning rapidly in the air and carved it into six pieces.

“….”

She smiled.

Come back stronger.

She killed Lich with the heart of a fisherman releasing a young fish.

Americano brings her hand to her mouth.

“Yaaawn.”

It’s almost 2 o’clock already.

“I guess I won’t be able to sleep at night.”

It’s not that she dislikes Undead…

‘It’s unsettling that they approach without a sound.’

But that’s a good thing.

“Yaaawn.”

She summoned the [Pet House] from the Inventory.

She took out Cappuccino.

‘(Forest? Night?)’

“Skeleton?”

She turned the hand holding Cappuccino in the direction of the Skeleton.

Like an employee working in the service industry, Cappuccino asked.

‘(Customer, what can I help you with?)’

“Magic that makes everything visible like daytime even at night.”

Cappuccino started casting magic, saying it was a very easy spell.

[Win’s Ego] dwelling in the [Ring of Contract] helped Cappuccino’s magic.

‘(Instant Magic! The name is Davichi!)’

The magic light shines faintly.

Blink.

Blink, blink.

Each time she blinked, the darkness gradually receded.

Americano made her eyes glow fluorescent.

“Good.”

‘(Of course. Who do you think I am?)’

“Lip-syncer.”

‘(I am not!)’

Anyway,

Thwack.

An arrow was shot.

Americano leaned back to avoid the arrow.

“Wanna go in?”

‘Wanna stay.’

Okay.

She put Cappuccino inside the Steel Cuirass.

She dodged the arrows with light movements until Cappuccino settled in.

When she settled in.

She kicked off the ground.

She ran in one breath.

Skeletons are just mobs.

She slashed and passed by in one stroke.

Not fun.

“It would be nice if it was even a little fun.”

But the gray-lettered mob [Skeleton] were just numerous.

If only [Lich] would come out in droves and attack, it would be difficult, but it would be easier to shake off sleep.

One already came out.

It wouldn’t be strange if more came out.

The death of the Undead is like vitality. The more they are killed and the more death is added, the more intense their death becomes.

───Caught it.

The arrow.

“I wish those guys would stop coming out now.”

‘(This is almost a lullaby.)’

Mobs are not fun.

Not even tense.

How much?

She almost fell asleep while dealing with them.

[Skeleton]

Gray letters.

[Skeleton Archer]s holding bows gather in droves and shoot arrows to kill her.

[Skeleton Warrior]s holding swords gather in droves and run to kill her.

[Skeleton Mage]s holding staffs gather in droves and shoot Magic Bullets to kill her.

There is no threat.

There are many of them.

Still, she could see that she was getting stronger little by little, and she felt it.

“Slow.”

[Skeleton] crawling up from the ground.

She kicked its skull like a soccer ball.

She [Leap]ed towards the night sky.

Are there no more Lich?

“What does Win say? Are there no more Lich?”

‘(She says you’re crazy?)’

“Why?”

‘(She tells you not to turn this place into a land of death.)’

“Will she stop me?”

‘(Half and half.)’

It was a difference in perspective.

Cappuccino was a [Dream Frog] that replicated Americano’s self-consciousness, but while this world was fake to Americano, it was ultimately a real world to Cappuccino.

Thinking that way,

“Why half?”

I thought she would stop me with all her might.

‘(Because it’s fun? The feelings you feel come to me too. Your joy is my joy. Didn’t you know?)’

“I didn’t know that.”

‘(Come to think of it, I didn’t tell you?)’

The peak of the parabola.

She gradually falls.

Her robe flutters in the wind.

She climbed onto the mountain range.

She can reach the destination [Marker] before the morning sun rises.

She stepped on a rock on the slope and jumped high, additionally stepping on a branch placed in the middle.

Americano jumped higher than the mountain top.

She turned her body 360 degrees at the peak of the parabola.

The wider view discovered various terrains in the night forest.

[Night Vision] granted by Cappuccino.

She saw a forest as bright as daytime.

There were many mountain ranges in this area.

Mountains, forests, rocks, rivers, lakes.

And lights.

“A village.”

She found a village.

She went straight to the place with the lights.

She went, but,

“Gob!”

Monster settlement.

“Wow, I was going to rest a bit.”

‘(It was small for a village.)’

Cappuccino, who was sharing her vision, muttered something.

[Phantom Sword]

[Form 3]

Rotational Slash.

Expanded Rotational Slash swept through the entire settlement.

She couldn’t slash all the lying down guys, but,

The target of lightly venting her anger was the settlement that deceived her, not the monsters.

She was satisfied with the sight of the settlement being half destroyed and [Leap]ed again.

[Leap]

[Leap]

Crossing the forest to the mountains, and then becoming higher than the mountains again.

“Oh.”

‘(Found it.)’

A river reflecting the moon.

Lights hugging the river.

The widely spread scale was incomparably wider than a settlement. The moment she was happy that it was a village that anyone could see.

Deathly aura.

Darkness Bullet.

Americano, who was distracted.

A Darkness Bullet passed by her side.

The altitude was high.

A few seconds until impact.

Below is a cliff.

She falls for a long time.

She covered her side with her hand and used [Heal] to treat the wound.

A wound mixed with [Deathly Aura] is a curse in itself. The healing power of [Heal] slowly closed the wound as it erased both the [Deathly Aura] and the wound.

The ground was approaching.

She covered her head with her other arm.

She wrapped Magical Power around her body for protection.

Thud.

Crash.

Crash.

Roll.

Thud.

She quickly went down the mountain range, hitting rocks and crashing into trees.

Another cliff.

A vertical cliff.

She smells water.

‘Is it a valley?’

She fell.

She crashed.

Unspeakable pain erupts from her side.

She fell from a high place and landed on a rock on the ground.

The wound was hit directly.

“..!!!!!!!!!”

A scream erupted.

No, no scream came out.

She fell from that rock and barely stopped in a gravel field.

Trembling.

Pain to death.

“Ugh.”

She touched the ground.

The gravel field was soaked with blood.

It was all her blood.

Her clothes were also stained with blood.

While touching the ground, she finished healing the wound with [Heal].

“A sharpshooter is no different.”

‘(I never dreamed they would be ambushing.)’

“Are you, cough, okay?”

‘(I’m fine except for being dizzy.)’

That’s a relief.

She removed the Steel Cuirass from the equipment window.

As the Cuirass supporting her chest disappeared, Cappuccino fell under her clothes.

She can only admire the [Lich] who hit her in the air.

Did they mix some kind of homing function into the Darkness Bullet?

“Cough!”

She didn’t vomit blood.

Blood coming from the mouth must be from a wound in the mouth or stomach.

Her lungs are surprised and convulsing from the pain.

Ugh.

‘Good.’

Yeah, this is it.

It’s fun when it comes out like this.

Giving a blow in the gap of being careless by only catching mobs, how wonderful?

Keep evolving.

It was a good change.

Still,

“It hurts.”

She clenched her teeth and treated the wound, and only after it was completely healed did she get up.

She wore a new Cuirass.

That’s right, but can this be pierced?

‘Steel Cuirass, it’s not bad.’

Steel is not enough.

The defense power.

At that time when she was putting Cappuccino in.

Tap tap.

The pebbles wriggle.

A bony hand emerges from the wriggling gravel field.

You can tell just by looking at the hand.

[Skeleton]

Gray letters.

Mobs.

“Strategic is good, but still, mobs are boring.”

She sighs.

Catching mobs is just catching mobs.

That was the scary thing about mobs.

She stepped on the [Skeleton], smashed its skull, and followed the stream.

“I’m not a fan of Musou.”

‘(This isn’t even Musou.)’

Well, that’s true.

If it were Musou, the mobs would rush in all at once.

Little by little.

Little by little.

That was annoying.

She followed the stream, and as she got closer to the village,

“…That’s.”

‘(Does the information window pop up?)’

“Yeah.”

‘(What does it say?)’

The village’s information window appeared.

It’s a familiar name.

“Devirude Village.”

Bronze Golem.

That was the village mentioned when the Dwarf merchant who showcased the Bronze Golem talked about the place where he discovered the Bronze Golem.

But,

Burning.

The village was on fire.
