Chapter 129: 125

Next day. We were able to greet the morning without being interrupted even once by monsters as we were confined in a simple camp house with my "Active Sonar Alarm" and Oscar's "Seed Fire Warding" doubly applied. Thanks to the showers and beds provided, we slept so well that it was hard to believe we were in the middle of a campout, so we were in good physical condition from the morning.

"Mmm, I feel great!"

"I can't believe we're in the middle of a field camp. ......"

"It's hard to believe, isn't it? ......"

　But who doesn't like a good night's sleep?

It is true that it is necessary to acquire knowledge of the hardships of camping out in case of emergency, but it is also true that the quality of operational activities will definitely improve if you don't waste time and money on unnecessary exhaustion. It is absolutely not acceptable to force the people on the ground to endure and neglect equipment and supply!

 

Now that we had both finished our breakfast and Tama-chan' as well, it was time to get going.

"Well, let's get going."

"Oh, yeah. I'm feeling great today."

"I'm feeling well enough rested to stay awake. and I'm ready for danger and scouting."

Oscar's finger shoots fire like a gas burner, and Markus holds up his utility knife. They both look prepared.

"All right, then, let's get going."

We put the simple camp house and other camp things in inventory, and we' re off. Today is the day we will find the Jabberwock.

"Somehow there are fewer monsters than there were yesterday?"

It is true that the number of monsters caught by "passive sonar" today is about 30% less than yesterday "

I"'m going to go out for a little scouting . Maybe they hiding somewhere "

"Oh, yes, please."

"Oh, Markus. Take this."

"What's this?"

"This is a communication device with "communication" magic. It's a cheaper version of the one I always use, but it can communicate for dozens of kilometers with no problem, so if there' s something wrong, just report it to me right away. You can also rely on the ring to pinpoint your location, so if you see any suspicious activity, just report it to us and we'll head there."

"T . The communication magic tool is a valuable item even in the imperial army's reconnaissance unit. I've heard about it because my uncle is in the reconnaissance unit. ...... Oh, this is private information, so please don't tell anyone."

'You tell that to me, who im a special division ?　...... Also, it was me and Mei ...... my childhood friend who made it. The actual cost is only a couple of thousand els for one, if you disregard the labor cost."

"What the hell!　You Singularity!

　The true singularity is Mei Arendahl, a super-genius blacksmith who perheps would astonish even Leonardo da Vinci. The problem is that I don't feel like she is staying in the realm of blacksmithing any longer, but in terms of status alone, Mei is a blacksmith. She is an artisan in the samurai, farmer, artisan, and merchant class.

"I'm off then."

"Oh, be careful."

"I'm counting on you."

' Well, I'll do my best not to push myself ."

Markus's ability as a scout is greater than any of us here. This has been proven by his previous training and yesterday's day. I am sure that Markus will achieve something. Another point that I can appreciate is his ability to act with a clear view of his own limit, without being overawed by the expectations of his comrades.

We see him off, and Markus disappears behind a bushes. Oscar and I are left to wait behind for the time being.

"While Markus is out scouting, we'll get some rest. We don't know what's out there."

"I agree. Even though there are fewer monsters than yesterday, it doesn't mean that we are not tired."

We waited for about 30 minutes, sitting down on the root of a tree or a fallen tree.

My magic tool for communication reacted.

"Markus?"

"Oh my God, Eberhard!"

"Markus, what's wrong? What happened?"

"The monsters are attacking ...... monsters!'

　Unexpectedly, Oscar and I look at each other.

The reason is not because it is rare for monsters to attack monsters. The reason is that we see such scenes quite often. Demons are a sub-species of animals. Even though half of them are like monsters, in other words, the other half are animals. If they were animals, it would be difficult for them to survive except by eating other creatures other than themselves.

That's why Oscar and I wondered. Even Markus was a local adventurer before coming here. It would be strange if he did not have such knowledge as a natural part of his life. In other words, the scene that he is seeing is far from the usual .......

And there are not that many possibilities to be considered as a scene of unusual monsters attacking monsters.

　Namely.

"--Jabberwock!"

The Jabberwock has a crazy impulse to destroy and a hunger for killing in its body. In other words, it is not a prey activity as seen in other monsters, but a raid for the sole purpose of complete killing is now taking place right in front of Markus' eyes.

"Marcus!　We are on my way. With the target's force uncertain, anything can happen. You're going to have to hide and wait it out until we get there!'

"Okay, ."

With Marx's skill, he would never be discovered. But at the same time, it means that the Jabberwock could escape at any moment. If it's a ground or aerial type monster in its original form, good. Even we can ...... track them in the air, at worst I can track them by myself. But if the original Jabberwock is an underground or underwater type, we have no way to track it.

"Let's hurry!"

"Yeah!"

I cast "Robe " and Oscar cast "Body Enhancement" as we ran through the forest of demons. While using "Active Sonar," we kept running to reach the destination in the shortest possible time , avoiding unnecessary fighting.

　It took about five minutes of running. After running across the distance that Markus had carefully advanced, we were confronted with pieces of meat and organs scattered all over the place. The red puddles that were spreading in large quantities and the screams of the agonized demons that could be heard in the present state.

The neck unnaturally elongated and the long, slender limbs. The hideous scales covering its entire body and the tail that is unusually long and disproportionate to its body. And two eyes that shine brightly and glare at us.

"----GURRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

A ghastly, unpleasant, glass-scratching cry that is so horrifying that it makes the hairs on my back stand up on end.

　It was the ---- Jabberwock.
