Chapter 111: Escape
Ch. 111 Escape
I desperately roll chasing after the giant centipede.
Although I lose in speed I am still faster using [[Roll]]. Going my max is difficult as I lose my fine control. I don’t know much about complicated terrain but I have the advantage in the open desert.
However, I still won’t make it in time. The giant centipede will destroy the carriage faster than me getting there. Well let’s not think about anything unnecessary. Run, Run, and Run!!! I can’t do anything other than keep chasing using [[Roll]]. There’s no helping it if I think of unnecessary things.
The distance between the giant centipede and the carriage shrinks. When I thought that it was finished, the fire on the upper part of the carriage burned down the curtain that covered the rear which was used to conceal the contents of the carriage. The burnt cloth dances in the air and covers the head of the giant centipede.
It was a miraculous position and timing. I thought that I could earn a little time with this, but I didn’t even have a second. The cloth fly’s behind immediately. It did not disturb the giant centipedes running.
I set my eyes into the now bare carriage.
Inside, there it was packed with people riding. There where various people, from an elderly man to tiny girls who are not even 10. Everyone has beast ears on top of their heads. I remember the dog eared girl who was beside the woman swordsman at that time in the cave.
Besides the beast ears on their heads, it is a normal human being, but is he a beast person? It was the second time I’ve seen it so it did not surprise me. Everyone was wearing tattered cloths, I was worried that their hands were fitted in wooden boards.
