We proceed to where I sensed the human presence at.
Carefully and steadily walking, me and Wight walk with the slightest sound possible.
I know that I have a big body, and it’s not helping in this situation at all, but at least it makes me feel a little bit better.
Which is why I don’t mind even if Partner is shaking wildly right beside me. Nope, I don’t mind at all.

“Gra~a! Gra~a!”

…… Can’t I separate with this loudmouth?
Even two-headed earthworms move together, so why can’t we?
If I chop your head off, just use〖Fake Life〗on yoursel-…… wait, nevermind, I don’t want to test that out.

As I get closer, other than the two humans, there’s another presence approaching.
I can feel the two humans getting all riled up.
Are they attempting to battle a monster?
Then, doesn’t that mean that I should hurry?

I don’t want any human bloodshed after all, and besides, I owe the Lithuvar Tribe for handing out offerings to me.

I turn around.
The tiptoeing Wight completely stopped moving when I did.

“Gru~o……”

I tell Wight to “wait for a bit”, and put my feet in front of them.
The tiptoeing Wight turns to look at what’s ahead by raising her neck and head.
It’s probably thanks to〖Servant of the Evil Dragon〗title skill, having my intentions easily go through with just a slight gesture is convenient.
But, I’m still feeling worried of leaving Wight behind……

I knock a nearby tree aside so I could get even closer.
I don’t like to recklessly use〖Fake Life〗, but…… I do need someone to keep an eye on Wight.
The Little Treant also had the〖Servant of the Evil Dragon〗 title skill too.
If I give it an order, it should do what it was told.

Partner, can you turn this tree into a monster please?

“Gra~a!”

Partner nods and roars out loud.
Black light surrounds the tree.
…… But, even after the light dispersed, there was no change.

Well, I’ve only tried this skill on a lump of meat, a pile of bones, and a young tree sapling after all……
Was a large tree too much then?
The problem may be the skill level.

…… I still kind of feel bad if I leave it behind after I knocked it down.
Besides, I haven’t entirely confirmed everything yet, should I carry Wight in my mouth?
But, in the worse case that would happen, won’t that lead to a huge misunderstanding?
If I open my mouth near Wight and say something like “It’s not what you think! I’m not going to eat you, I’ll just be carrying you!”, would I even sound believable?
She might just run away crying.

However, if something were to happen, I might regret not doing it……
For now, if I could just find it within me to open my mouth next to Wight, that’s okay, right?

“Gra~a~a~a!”

Partner is roaring even louder than before.
Black light covers the whole tree.

The tree’s shape becomes distorted and a face appears.
The thick roots of the tree unearth themselves and entered a fissure on the ground.
I knew it, it’s in a completely different level than a mere tree sapling.

“Gisha~a~a~a~a!”

The tree slammed both its branches to the ground and shrieked very loud.
Scattered leaves get blown away from the shrieking.

It seems that a certain amount of magical power is needed to make bigger monsters.
If we’re talking about mine, then there’s no problem there…… at least that’s what I think.

It’s even stronger than Wight…… is this alright?
I ended up making a rather strong monster……

Wight poked my feet.
What, what is it?

I lower my head and put my face closer to her.
Wight points at the direction of where the humans were.

The Lithuvar Tribe were Wight’s previous comrades.
Something is probably drawing her closer to them.

“Gru~o”

With my eyes, I told the newly created Lesser Treant to look after Wight.
I’m leaving her in your care.

“Gisha~a~a~a~a!”

You got my message…… right?
Its swinging its branches around, but at least it’s not attacking. [T.N: I am reminded of the pokemon Sudowoodo XD]

I turned around and continued to move towards where the human presence is at.
As I get closer, I can hear the sounds of the Lithuvar Tribe and the monster in battle.
And then, I felt a familiar chill down my spine. I think I felt this presence before.
I speed myself up.

“Rei, kuvu~ei, jesu!”

“Right! Ha ~a~argh! Sei~ ya!”

The human presence I felt was indeed the Lithuvar Tribe.
There’s one large man among them holding a large spear tied with ornaments, and there’s that one shrine maiden who offered me the tributes mixed in the chaos too.
Her eyes are closed and she’s chanting a language that I have no clue of.

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
The large man was fighting against that giant Abyss.

“Vu~e~eeee!”

The Abyss made use of its abnormally long eight legs and ran around the large man from all directions.
As usual, its appearance is unpleasant, and its movements are just nasty.

The Abyss is a Rank C monster, but to think that man is able to hold its own ground against it.
I think he’s better than Hagen, and almost as good as Adofu.
I thought that it was an unrefined spear, but it looks like its length was made just right to fight against the Abyss easily.

I think that, according to the information God’s Voice told me, the Abyss hunts on prey smaller than it.
If they encountered more than one Abyss, the Lithuvar Tribe would’ve been done for.

“Kuvu~ei! Kuvu~ei! Reih!”

The maiden-like girl raised her voice, and the Abyss’s appearance suddenly broke off.

Just when I thought the Abyss ran away, it soon reappeared behind the large man.
The large man swings his spear at the Abyss. The force from the swing and the tip of the spear crushes the Abyss’s fangs hard.
Even though the Abyss went completely out of their field of vision, their reaction and response were very good.
If it was me, I would’ve been caught off guard by that attack from behind.

“Jes! Jes!”

The large man synchronizes with the girl’s voice, and the baffled Abyss gets struck by another spear attack from the man.
The Abyss steps back, moves in a zigzag while distancing itself from the man, and disappears into the forest.
As always, it moves so creepy.
The large man looks a bit relieved and releases his spear on the ground.
And then, the Abyss appeared from behind the man again. [T.N: NANI?!!]

“Kuv~ei!”

When the girl shouted, the large man hurriedly picked up his spear and turned around.
Such a dangerous timing.
I jump out of my hiding place, and I crushed the Abyss with my claws.

“Vu~ebu…… vu”

A weird yellowish liquid came out from the Abyss’s mouth.
Its limbs are wriggling wildly.
It’s giving me a rather ticklish feeling to it, that it’s grossing me out. I put in more weight on my claws.
Its legs stop moving, but more liquid squirts out from its back.

【Obtained 126 Experience Points.】
【〖The Walking Egg〗skill gives you an additional 126 Experience Points.】

…… I, I went ahead and killed it myself.

“Gra~a……”

Partner growls bitterly like it’s the end of the world.
Hey, I too feel like crying right now.
I rub my claw on the ground to try and get rid of the Abyss’s liquids.

Damn it, damn it, it won’t come off.
It kinda smells like a pile of stink bug gathered in one place.

“Ryu-… Ryujin-sama……?”

The large man, with his mouth open, looks up at me.
His large spear falls on the ground with a clang.
He then looks like he finally went back to reality, and then realized that his spear fell, so he picked it up and crouched in front of me.

Y-You don’t really have to do something like that to me……
You’re making me nervous.
