Chapter 61: Another Man-Eating Flower
"It's like food being eaten right in front of you."
"Ah, I think I can understand it."
“…… Two or two people don't have weapons but dare to talk about it. ”
Tiona didn't bring any weapons with them today, because they didn't think it would be convenient for them to take their large weapons and staff to see the monster sacrifice. Needless to say, the armor is not to mention, although the two girls don't usually wear any armor.
When she couldn't intervene and was about to run in vain, she heard the Amazon sister say that as long as there was meat, it was enough, so that Refia (the weak elf girl) could only barely pretend to laugh.
“……?”
"Tiona?"
"What's wrong?"
Tiona brows curled in surprise, like a nervous wildcat, and began to look around.
With a tense expression, she said, "Is the ground shaking?" ”
“…… Really. ”
"Earthquake...... I don't think so. ”
This sense of random shaking is not at all like an earthquake, which gives Tiona and the others a sense of crisis.
The feeling cultivated in the dungeon, even if it was a trivial matter or any precursor, could elicit a reaction from them.
Then, just as they were naturally raising their guard, there was a loud explosion of some kind of object.
The eyes of the three of them were suddenly drawn to the corner of the road, only to see a large amount of smoke and dust in the corner of the road.
"Ahh
Female screams rang out.
Creating a wobble that emerges from the depths of the smoke is a long-striped monster that pushes open a stone slab and emerges from the ground, resembling a giant serpent.
A chill rushed across her neck, and Tiona and the others' faces suddenly changed greatly.
"Theogne, that guy is not good!"
"Let's go."
As they shouted, they sprang out, and Refia took a step slower and ran forward, jumping on the rooftops and rushing in a straight line.
As the screaming citizens fled in all directions, Tiona and the others landed neatly in the middle of the road with a "bang".
"Where did Ganesa get this monster from......
"New species? This ......"
The smoke cleared completely, and the monster raised its head creepy.
The elongated moon is the same as the smooth skin tissue, the head - the front of the body is staggered, there are no eyes or other organs, and some of the drums and moons are shaped like sunflower seeds.
The whole body is a pale yellow-green color, giving Tiona and them an uncomfortable sense of déjà vu.
"Faceless snake" is probably the best way to describe it.
"Tiona, do it."
"Got it."
Refia observed the situation and began to chant.
"Okay, okay!"
Hearing the instructions of Tione, whose eyes had become sharp, not only Theona but also the monsters reacted.
The body that grew out of the ground stirred, the spearhead of consciousness directed towards the twin sister who confronted it.
The next moment, it attacked like a whip all over its body.
Tiona and Tione dodge a brute-force physical collision.
The slate was lifted, and the sound of breaking was scattered. Stones hit the surrounding shops like bullets, shattering the storefronts, and the wide road with a banner of at least ten meters was once again filled with smoke.
The monster made a disgusting "purr" sound and writhed its slender body, and Tiona and Theogne immediately punched and kicked it from the corner.
"It's hard ——!"
The moment it hit the skin, they unanimously expressed surprise.
The blow that he used all his might was easily blocked.
Even though it was empty-handed, the fierce blows that the first-level adventurers unleashed alone were enough to make ordinary monster flesh burst apart, but now they couldn't penetrate or shatter it. The smooth skin, which prides itself on its incredible hardness, is only a little dented, but it also causes damage to Tiona's hands and feet.
Tiona's eyes widened as she shook her skinned right hand.
The monster reacted in pain to the attack of Tiona and the others, and then launched a fierce attack as if venting its anger. The body snakes violently like a torrent, trying to crush and break them apart.
The Amazon sisters dodged with ease, and then threw several punches at their foe.
"It's endless!"
"Ah——, I knew I was ready to prepare my weapons——!"
The two of them staggered and shouted as they fought the snake-like monster at the same time.
Once hit, they will dodge all enemy attacks. The monsters frantically slapped with their bodies, but Tiona and the others dodged with a deft leap around them, not even touching the edges.
Neither side was able to deliver a fatal blow to their opponents, and the battle was at a stalemate.
Outside of the battle, Refia used the time Tiona and the others had earned to continue chanting.
"Liberate a ray of light, the bow of the holy wood. Thou art a master archer. ”
She didn't have a staff (equipment) that could increase the effect of her magic, so she cast one arm and chanted a spell.
The short chants that focus on speed are capable of high-speed combat, even though they have low output power.
And the goal is only to deal with Tiona's attacks, and they don't take Refia seriously at all. This gives her more time to aim and attack.
Unfolding the thick golden magic array, Refia quickly constructed the magic.
"Snipe, elven shooter. Shoot through, the arrow will be hit! ”
Just as she had finished the last note, the magic was converging, and she was about to be liberated, the situation turned for a moment, and the monster suddenly changed its original position and turned to Refia.
"Huh?"
The unusual speed of reaction accompanied by a chill shook Refia's heart, so much so that the monster who cared so much about herself suddenly turned its faceless head towards her.
As soon as its vision saw Theona and the others began to retreat—it reacted to the "magic".
Refia intuitively understood this, and the next moment, the force of the impact pierced through her abdomen.
"Ahh
Yellow-green protrusions protruding from the ground.
The tentacles as thick as Refia's arms struck her defenseless abdomen without any armor or combat attire.
With an unpleasant "goo" sound in her body, blood spat out of her mouth.
"Refia!"
The body floats into the air due to the reaction force and falls to the ground with its back down.
Tiona cried out anxiously, the wound was fatal to the elf's delicate body, and she couldn't get up from there.
The eerie tentacles that grew from the ground wriggled in horror, and the snake-like monsters changed.
I saw the front of the body stand up, as if looking up at the sky, and then the head "poof" a few lines - and then flower.
"Whoa, whoa!"
A roar like a broken gong rumbled, and countless pieces of spicy melons bloomed, colorful as if they were hiding poison, and in the center there was a huge mouth full of teeth, dripping with sticky night.
