Slei started running diagonally.
I changed my position so that I could catch the enemy in my sight.
However, the Human-Faced turned and is hiding itself from my sight.
The corpse shield is always facing towards me.
It might be simple, but it’s an effective countermeasure.
Now that Pigimaru’s tentacles couldn’t be used, my range has become quite short.
Therefore, I need to make sure that I get close enough that it’s within my range.
I must acquire both of these conditions together.
A cluster of light were shot towards the skies from the other side of the coprse shield.
Multiple particles of light gleamed and burst open in mid air.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang——–!
Just like a rain of arrows, lasers began raining down from the skies.
A heat ray brushed against my shoulder.
However, the laser didn’t deal that deep of an injury.
I somehow managed to evade the other lasers with some maneuvers from Slei.
Is it detecting out position based on the sound of our movement…?
Though I said that, there’s still this rain going on right now.
Detecting the sound of our footsteps through this rain should make it slightly less accurate.
In fact, there’s no pinpoint accuracy from that rain of lasers.
However, they know the approximate area where I am…
That laser attack just a while ago was also this guy’s action huh.
Those stinging attacks were fired while hiding behind a safe zone.
Moreover, this guy didn’t mind dragging in the other monsters that had gathered near me in its attack.
[Perhaps, their weak sense of camaraderie could be beneficial for me…]
However, this situation is a bit bad.
The enemy has a long range attack.
It could attack from outside the range of my Abnormal State Skill.
At this rate, I will only end up being one-sidedly attacked.
Could I use that additional effect from <berserk>’s level up earlier?</berserk>
I check my status display again.
……Ah, now that I think about it.
It’s not specified but, I wonder if it’s possible to designate things “other than humans and monsters” as their targets of attack?
For instance, I could target a stone or a tree—
At any rate, it would be meaningless if it’s not caught within my range.
And it’s hardly within the maximum range of my skill.
If I can’t think of a way to shrink our distance——
[Shinshinishinshinshinshiiiiiiiiiiiiiii——————–nnnnnnnn! Nn!]
Light began fluttering about in mid-air again.
Even if I were to somehow avoid them, I will not be able to conduct a counterattack in response.
At this rate, my situation would become getting worse and worse.
[Pigimaru, I’m sorry… but could I entrust one final job to you?]
It’s a bit dangerous though.
Pigimaru began poking my peck.
As if he’s pushing away the hesitation brewing within me.
His protrusion turned into the affirmative color, green.
[I’m in your debt, partner.]
It’s already the third time that the monster has released its laser.
Rumble… Splash… Rumble rumble rumble!
An object vigorously rolled on the mud.
It’s the Fly King’s mask.
The Human-Faced reacted to that fallen “head”.
“Cutting the head into multiple pieces.”
However, a change immediately appeared from the monster on the other side of the corpse shield.
The Human-Faced sharply turned.
It doesn’t appear to be lured in by “head” decoy.
The slime continuously screamed.
Slei is also already moving.
Towards a position where I could see the Human-Faced’s figure.
It’s great if I could make even just a moment of opening.
I was only just a bit slower than it.
The turning speed of this Human-Faced is slightly faster.
An underhanded scheme of distracting it with my Fly King’s mask and going around the enemy’s blind spot.
And that’s how we arrived in this plan of recovering from this hopeless situation.
