- That fucking cliffhanger.
- Edited By: MythosIX
- Chapter 43
- The influence of the mountain has turned the land into nothing but barren rock.
- We advanced slowly along a mountain path in the East of the country.
- It's been 30 minutes since beginning to climb, while Firo is running and kicking a demon.
- Right now, we have treatment medicine and antidotes due to the poisonous air.
- By the way, we left the carriage at the village and only bringing a wagon before heading out.
- Firo: "No~! Many of Firo's memories are in here~!"
- Firo this fellow, she absolutely wants to pull everything, I'll ditch you here.
- You were born last month and you're already talking about life?
- Well, I can understand her attachment to the carriage because she has been pulling it for 90% of her life…
- There are many demons here that are from the Poison class, such as Poison Tree and Poison Frog.
- I diligently let my shield absorb it all after we defeated them.
- Requirements for Poison Tree Shield have been revealed.
- Requirements for Poison Frog Shield have been revealed.
- Requirements for Poison Bee Shield have been revealed.
- Requirements for Poison Fly Shield have been revealed.
- All the Poison Resistance bonuses have been displaced, and have become status up as equipment bonuses.
- The sole exception is the Poison Bee shield.
- Bee Needle Shield Ⅱ
- Unsealing completed... Equipment Bonus: Attack Power 1
- Special Effect: Shield of Stinger (Small) Bee Poison (Poison)
- The defensive power hasn't really changed from the Bee Needle Shield, but the paralysis poison can now be changed to poison damage over time.
- Well, enough of that, it seem the enemies are appearing quite frequently.
- Even after defeating them, another one just takes its place.
- Certainly, the wind is full of poison which scattered a plague, this is definitely too severe for a normal adventurer.
- Naofumi: "There is no point to killing them all! Firo, run through!"
- Raphtalia and I ride the wagon while giving instructions to Firo.
- "Okay~!"
- Firo pulled the wagon and ploughed through at full power.
- Some experience was occasionally gained while running over enemies.
- Along the way, Firo ran over a sludge-like demon, but because there was no time I didn't get to absorb it.
- And after a few minutes…
- Naofumi: "Is this our final destination?"
- I saw the corpse of a dragon, leaking poisonous miasma and releasing a foul odour into the air.
- The size is around a 10 meters and it resembles a Western-style dragon…
- However, the features can't be made out any more.
- The extent to which it is rotten has made it hard for even the original colour to be seen, all that's left is black miasma-like skin.
- It seems the fatal injury would be a single blow to the abdomen. There is a big scar in the abdomen, exposing its internal organs and releasing a putrid smell.
- Poison flies gathered around the rotten meat of the dragon. This is quite disgusting…
- Firo: "I'm hungry~"
- Naofumi: "Is your appetite so great you can still eat after looking at that…?"
- Firo began eating the food in the wagon.
- Naofumi: "Raphtalia, are you okay?"
- Raphtalia: "Y-Yup."
- I need to make sure Raphtalia is okay because her respiratory system is weak and the miasma will damage it even more.
- Naofumi: "Take a rest as if it gets hard."
- Raphtalia: "Okay"
- I checked out the other side of the corpse while swatting poison flies.
- The fingernails, scales, skin, and wings are all gone. Even the tongue was taken. Seem to have been stripped by Ren and the adventurers
- It’s not an exaggeration to call all that is left bones and meat.
- Excluding an extremely small portion of skin there is nothing left.
- The smell is extremely nasty. This is definitely severe.
- I might be faring better than Raphtalia because of my poison resistance. I have no idea about Firo.
- Naofumi: "Raphtalia, exterminate the poison flies. Firo, come dismantle the corpse with me. It's too big for my shield to absorb."
- I should let my shield absorb all of it. There is a risk of the soil getting corrupted as well if I bury it.
- Firo: "Okay"
- Firo finishes her meal with a bloated belly and nods.
- Firo: "I feel a little sick."
- Naofumi: "That's because you're over eating."
- I approached the corpse to dismantle it as planned.
- Goso......
- Naofumi: "…… Did it just breathe?"
- Raphtalia: "Ummm……"
- The dragon's corpse seems to have begun to move.
- Oh my, it probably looked like it because of the poison flies flocking on the corpse.
- Gorori......
- Yup.
- Just my imagination.
- The dragon's corpse began to move, and got on its hands and knees in attack mode.
- Zombie Dragon: "GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
- The dragon raised its head and unleashed a roar with its fang-less mouth.
- Naofumi: "How the hell can it move!"
- Raphtalia: "Naofumi-sama, please calm down!"
- The corpse of the dragon…… No, the zombie dragon began to move as I shouted.
- What the hell. This is too much for us.
- The Level is unknown and any ability this zombie dragon has is unknown.
- What is wrong with this world!
- The zombie dragon turned to face us while regenerating each organ.
- A part of the wing and tail is regenerated. I don't know whether the fangs and claws will regenerate too.
- It seems to be liquidizing the rotting meat and turning it into its wings and tail.
- The fatal wound on the abdomen was closing and the internal organs were regenerating.
- Dealing with this is impossible for me!
- Naofumi: "Let's escape!"
- Raphtalia: "But, Firo is already--!"
- Raphtalia pointed at the dragon zombie.
- Firo: "Terya!!"
- At that moment, Firo jumped on the zombie dragon and kicked it in the head.
- There was a nice smack and the dragon zombie bends backwards.
- Naofumi: "That's unexpected…… Can we fight it?"
- Firo's offensive power is high and there are no fangs or claws on this zombie dragon.
- We may be able to win, but the opponent does not have the concept of stamina……
- However, there is a risk of the zombie dragon coming for the village if we escape there.
- Of course, there is also the possibility of it returning to its territory. But it might regenerate everything next time, so it must be defeated now.
- Naofumi: "Don't be rash!"
- Firo: "Okay!"
- Naofumi: "Alright, we're stopping this thing here!"
- Raphtalia: "Okay!"
- The dragon roared threateningly and attacked.
- I change into the Chimeric Viper Shield which has the highest defence, and I am able to block the dragon's attack.
- But……
- Zombie Dragon: "GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
- The zombie dragon shoots purple gas from its mouth at us.
- Raphtalia and Firo run behind my back.
- I set up my shield and prepare to block the attack.
- Naofumi: "Ueh......What is this!"
- Raphtalia: "Cough, Cough"
- The real nature of the breath attack is high-concentrated poisonous gas.
- Even with my poison resistance, I felt breathlessness and dizziness.
- I had a coughing fit while Raphtalia behind me is barely able to breathe.
- While the zombie dragon was shooting its breath, Firo who seemingly unaffected by the gas kicked it and made it stop.
- Naofumi: "Ra-Raphtalia, are you all right!?"
- Raphtalia: "Coughcoughcough-"
- Raphtalia wanted to answer me with tears in her eyes, but she was just coughing non-stop.
- ……This might be really bad.
- Firo and I can fight, but Raphtalia is out.
- Naofumi: "Raphtalia, hurry up and get back, there is an antidote in the carriage. Drink it and rest."
- Raphtalia: "Coughcough"
- Raphtalia desperately points towards the zombie dragon.
- I turned around and see what's happening.
- In just a second, the zombie dragon opened its mouth and swallowed Firo who is jumping over it.
- Naofumi: "A---"
- Bagun!
- A loud sound echoes, and from the zombie dragon's mouth crimson liquid drips down.
- Naofumi: "FIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
- My mind blanks out and I don't understand anything that Raphtalia is doing.
- The bird who act like a pampered child ever since being born a month ago, always clinging to me, hugging me……
- Memories of Firo were recalled and shown like a revolving lantern.
- What happened?
- Something……
- The zombie dragon chewed its mouth several times,something red leaks out of it, and then the zombie dragon swallowed with a large gulp.
- Raphtalia: "Cough!"
- Raphtalia slapped my cheek strongly.
- I have tears in my eyes.
- The situation is only getting worse as I am lost in my own world.
- However, all I felt was the anger from my heart after losing an important companion right before my eyes.
- ---Power, Do you desire it?
- I thought I heard a voice from the shield.
- I looked at my shield almost unconsciously and listened for the voice.
- ---Everything, Do you wish for it?
- Dokun.
- My heartbeat is stronger.
- I remember the feeling that is produced from the darkness shield.
- This… It's the same feeling after that fight with Motoyasu……
- The skill tree section of the shield appeared.
- The skill tree screen turns inside out and a weird background that is neither black nor red appeared another skill tree.
- Curse Series
- This phrase reverberates in my mind.
- The shield glows brightly.
- Curse Series
- Shield of Fury
- Mortar Shield
- Unsealing completed... Equipment Bonus: Skill "Change Shield (Attack)" "Iron Maiden"
- Special Effect: Self-Burning Curse Physical Strength Improvement.
- Being born from the heart, Killer Shield.
- On this shield is a particular explanation…… Am I even conscious? I hold my hand over the shield with these feelings.
- Shield of Fury
- Intense feelings were released from the shield and the shield changes with a red and black light.
- There was a crimson shield with decorations of abominations and flames.
- Dokun......Dokun......
- Consciousness was swallowed in anger.
- I hate everything in this world.
- Everything in this world is black, all there is left are shadows sneering at me.
- I am ruled by a single emotion.
- Zombie Dragon: "GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
- A big black shadow stretched its arm towards me.
- Naofumi: "UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
