Chapter 135

Ch . 135 Emotional Reunion

I place Nina, who was holding the ball rabbit, on my back and advance in the opposite direction the soldiers escaped .

It would only get complicated if we were to encounter humans .

Actually, I’m wondering if I should even be traveling with Nina . Frankly speaking, if the effects of [[Dragon Scales]] begins to appear, it won’t be a funny matter .

When the time limit was coming to a close, I thought that it would be fine with that walled city…but I think that may be the worst place after seeing how those soldiers reacted towards Nina .

Well, even if I say so I don’t really have another plan, since even the person herself said that she had no place to go . Even walking around and waiting for a proper place with the right conditions, is comparable to trying to find a ring dropped in the desert .

If I look for a river connected to the ocean, would I be able to get back to the forest I entrusted to the orangutans?

No, won’t Miria and the village treat me badly if I do?

I won’t be able to show my face after attacking the villagers and escaping, so I’ll just have to put them near the village and let them go on by themselves . Perhaps this is the most realistic solution . However, until then, Nina will be exposed to [[Dragon Scales]]…and I have no idea how long it’s been going .

Besides, I don’t see a river anywhere .

Nina’s physical strength will decrease if I move too quickly . If that happens, her immune system may fall and the progress of [[Dragon Scales]] may accelerate .

Ah, there’s obstacles from every direction .

It might be better to borrow some of the soldiers baggage and look for a map or something . No, even if I caught one person, there will be various stories popping up of me . Since it would be better for me if their wasn’t any strange grudges directed towards me, I won’t move in that direction .

Well, it may just make it worse and confusing to try to force your opponent into talking…should I just find someone who isn’t hostile?

If I walk around in this desert I may run into a soldier in a carriage or at least meet with someone… . That’s the only choice .

When the time limit comes to a close…I’m sorry, but that walled city would be the only place I could go . Next break I take I will have the ball rabbit use its full MP so that I could talk with Nina .

While walking, I could see a black horse running in the distance .

Oh, that looks like Hagen’s beloved horse, Maria .

It seems that it did not return to its master in the end and just started wandering around .

Will you be able to return home safely to Hagen?

Unlike the large centipede, I’m not a sore loser who will chase you down .

When Maria noticed me, it ran away at full power .

I will stay away from the walled city… . That one will not go home anymore . Since I will feel bad going the same way, change direction .

The scenery doesn’t change after continuously walking . To that extent, it is too vast .

What made them build a town surrounded with a magic border and a wall in such a place . I wonder if there are oil fields or something .

Suddenly I felt a bad sign, I stop and look around .

The origin of the sign should be close, but I don’t see any monsters that I should worry about .

The moment I thought that it was empty, the ground before me exploded and sand scattered . From the hypo-center, I saw a huge head with a figure that I knew .

“Gijijijijijijijijijijii!”

An unpleasant cry that sounds like rubbing resonates all around .

Race: Giant Sand Centipede

State: Normal

Lv: 63/80

HP: 455/455

MP: 241/241

It came .

I came across a guy that I did not want to meet again .

Why are you meeting me so much? Do you like me?

Perhaps this huge centipede doesn’t fit in this desert . It’s the same individual .

Rather, why did you excavate such a large hole?

You should also dig me a den… . Or did you do this thinking of me .

Let’s enter into my escape position now .

Fleeing into the sky…is not an option .

Last time I was overlooked because there were other targets, also [[Flight]] won’t be able to shake off that huge centipede . Just picturing the huge centipede firing off that beam makes it clear that I will run out of stamina and get cut before being able to land .

Then, the only way is to run away at maximum speed with [[Roll]] .

I lightly jump and flick Nina and the ball rabbit into the air .

“Pefu!?” “hinyaa!?”

I turn my face up and catch them with my mouth .

Just like that I kick the ground and jump forward and to the side, and change to [[Roll]] mid air .

I can hear the ball rabbit cry in protest from my mouth, but forgive me as right now it’s an emergency .

I don’t want to lose you .

So just wash your body after .

There are no obstacles anywhere around as everything is sand . [[Roll]] is good for such a landscape .

It’s the best in the desert .

“GiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJii”

… . . I’d be great if he didn’t do that thought .

Even though it looks like I got a head start on it . I don’t know how long I have to run away until I’ve actually managed to run away .

As expected, I have to raise my level quickly .

Even if I can’t defeat the huge centipede, I want to become strong enough to the point that it feels that there’s no point in attacking me .

Even though I used a full power dash towards the horizon, even though it’s a trauma, it shoots a long distance beam, as it grows suddenly from the ground, this is a seriously bad nightmare .

At any rate, I thought that maybe there will be a horse drawn carriage crossing the desert to distract the huge centipede .

Come on, someone .

This is almost suicidal .

When I slightly took a glimpse backwards, I saw the huge centipede staring at me while I was scattering sand around .

Saliva dripped out of its mouth and when it touched it ground, it made a sound as it melted the sand .

Well, it’s useless if it doesn’t hit right?

Really, what is that guy’s problem .

Isn’t that at the level of being a biological weapon already?

Anyway, the distance between us is opening up quite nicely . It seems that it would be better to prepare for a long drawn out battle .

Oh wait! If Nina sticks around for too long her physical strength will weaken!

In this desert, slugs are ten times stronger than humans, and centipedes are 100 times stronger than the slugs .

Seriously, what’s up with this desert .
