Chapter 231: Natural Enemy
231 – Natural Enemy
I head towards the human presence, slowly advancing while being careful to not make a sound. It might just be for my own peace of mind, seeing as body’s so massive, but it’s a matter of feeling. That’s why, when my partner swings her head to and fro, it doesn’t bother me. It absolutely doesn’t bother me.
“Gaah! Gaah!”
…This girl, is there no way for me to separate from her? If I remember correctly, if you cut an earthworm in half, both halves can keep moving. Can’t we do something along those lines? After chopping off her neck, I’ll use [Soul AppendmentFake Life]… Nah, I don’t really wanna try it.
As I get closer, I am able to distinguish two human presences, as well as the faint presence of something else. I sense excitement from the two humans. Could they be fighting a monster? If that’s the case, I need to hurry.
I don’t want to see humans get slaughtered in front of me, and I still owe the Lithovars for their tribute.
I look behind me. The wight, who’s been following along, suddenly stops.
“Guoh…”
I point to a spot on the ground, trying to convey “wait here” to the wight. She looks in the direction of the humans and nods her head. I don’t know if it’s thanks to the [Servant of the Evil Dragon] skill, but I’m glad that all it takes is a gesture for my intention to get through. Though I’m a little nervous about leaving the wight by herself…
