And then Vandalieu magically linked Bone Bird’s vision to his, allowing him to see what Bone Bird saw.

As Bone Bird flew higher and higher, he could see several humans doing something at the boundary at which the forest ended and a grass-covered plain began.

Because Bone Bird had no eyeballs, or perhaps because Vandalieu’s magic was still not advanced enough, its vision was worse than that of a living bird.

Even so, he could vaguely make out the humans’ situation. There were five of them in total… no, six.

Among them, three of them were standing. One of them was collapsed on the ground. One more was straddling that person, and another was crouching down next to her.

Other than the one lying on the ground, all of them were men. Three of them were wearing metal armor. One was in leather armor and the other was in robes. It was one of the ones in metal armor was straddling the person on the ground.

Judging from the fact that their equipment was all different, they were likely adventurers. They did seem quite cautious about their surroundings, but that caution was directed towards the Devil’s Nest to make sure that no monsters came out of there to attack them; they were not expecting any attack to come from the thicket.

Made of only bones and a faintly glowing spirit form, Bone Bird would be difficult to spot in the middle of a sunny day, so there was no chance that it would be noticed while it was scouting.

The one lying on the ground was a woman with long hair and an unusual skin color… grey-brown. She was half naked and bleeding.

The man crouched down next to her reached his hand out to her chest.

「Sam, use Silent Steps and go as fast as you can. Let’s kill them all, guys.」

This scene caused Vandalieu’s blood to rush into his head. And then he calmly decided to kill slaughter all of these men. They seemed to be adventurers, but they were a lowly, bandit-like group.
