Chapter 128.1 \n<h1>Chapter 128 A Certain Vacation âŚÂ </h1>\n\nâUooooooooooooooooh!âÂ
Along with a tremendous roar, a strong electric shock was released from the golden large sword to the surrounding area. The electric shock knocked down the trees, blew away the corpses of Monsters on the ground and cleared the surrounding area.
When we were on the way, I had heard in a conversation that it was an ability derived from Monster materials, but it was just as powerful as a Mageâs magical attack. I can now understand why they say that he is a Dragon Slayer.However, even looking at him, Ruda couldnât be relieved at all.
Arnold, who stood in the lead and swung down his sword, was breathing roughly.The surrounding area had a terrible stench in the air and it was scattered with butchered Monstersâ corpses and organs. It wasnât something Ruda and the others did, but something else that did this before they arrived.
Monsters donât only attack humans. There were also territorial disputes among Monsters and when powerful Monsters enter the fray from the outside, the ecosystem of the forest drastically changes, it was a common story you can find in any forest.However, a strong sense of malice could be conveyed from the appearance of the corpses, they were crushed way more than what was necessary.
Then again, we have already encountered the Monster that had probably done this.
âDamn, it ran away again! What the hell is that Monster?â
Hay without blinking, concentrate and search for it with the surrounding sounds. However, there was no sign of any living things around, not even the sound of insects buzzing.
The first attack occurred just after climbing past the top of the mountain, it was the road where corpses of Monsters were lying.That monster attacked as if it were weaving through the gaps in the trees. It was when coincidentally, one of our companions was looking in that direction and at about the same time as he was shouting an alert, one of the ăFallen Mistă flew in the air.\n
It was a dark green Oni1 with abnormally long limbs.The blow from its slender arm was as fast as the wind and easily blew away a Hunter wearing heavy and sturdy armor and possessing a body which has been reinforced by Mana Material. He easily evaded sword and magical attacks immediately launched at him in a counterattack and disappeared behind the trees at a gliding speed.What was the most frightening was the fact that its movement was done almost silently and disappeared at the moment we were ready to intercept it. It was obvious from its natural movement that the monster was used to it.
Fortunately, the member who received the blow was safe, but the blow was certainly aimed at his neck.If one of our companions hadnât been able to detect the attack, it would have been dangerous.
And yet, that was only the beginning of its assault.
Both carriages had already been lost. The second attack was targeted at the horses.In the first place, it was impossible for two carriages to pass through the narrow road of the mountain, especially ăFallen Mistă carriage was so large that it was completely blocking the road making it that once they proceeded into the road, you couldnât retreat anymore. It was impossible to protect the horses from the Monster when it was aiming at the horses and attacking them and we couldnât force our Party Members into a dangerous situation.
Ruda also followed Hayâs lead and concentrated her mind to search the surrounding area.The Monsterâs stealth was quite high and it was hard to see it in the dark. However, it wasnât as if there wasnât any sign at all at the moment its attack.
A sound similar to the rustle of the wind. That was the harbinger of its attack. It was hard to distinguish it from the sound of the wind, but there were several pairs of eyes here. If we all stay alert, there was little chance of having a surprise attack.
âI donât knowâŚâŚ I have never seen a Monster like that before!â
âIt wasnât âŚâŚ A regular Monster. Its vindication, intelligence and power. And brutality. To think it had still attacked after seeing Arnold-sanâŚâŚâ\nWhile sweating, Hay smirked.
Â
It was Gilbertâs Party Members who were the most exhausted. The Leader of the Party, Carmine, seemed to still have some room left, but compared to the veteran Party, ăFallen Mistă, and Ruda who has been exploring solo, the strength of the members of ăCrimson Flame (Fire Gale)ă had dropped significantly.Their abilities, experience. The Membersâ faces were haggard and I could also see a strong sense of fear in every move of theirs.
That cunning Oni was probably aiming for this. He carefully and meticulously scrapes off the weak ones little by little.
From what Ruda saw, the abilities of the Oni was quite high. It would probably be one of the strongest one in this Garest Mountains.Still, it didnât attack us head-on, is it because it was cautious or is it because it wanted to strike fear into its prey.
It must have been measuring our abilities after those attacks. The Oni never targeted Arnold, the strongest among us. It only went after the weakest link.Even in Arnoldâs party, there were differences in ability among the members. As we descended the steep mountain path, dealing with attacks that could come at any moment took a heavy tool on our spirits and the membersâ movements were gradually slowing down.
The mountain road where dead Monsters were piled up strangely seemed to lead to hell. Fortunately, no other monsters appeared, perhaps because they were afraid of that Oni.
Around the time we somehow managed to parry the tenth attack, Hay advised Arnold in a small voice.
âArnold-san, it will be bad if we donât end it now. We can still hold on, but ăCrimson Flame (Fire Gale)ă is at their limits. At this rate, we will never make it.â

\nIf they could beat it, I wanted them to quickly beat it and not just injure it.
