Chapter 244: The Forest Children's Guidance
44 – The Forest Children’s Guidance
Aro is finding it a bit difficult to move her newly evolved body. As a result, I’ve put off resuming our exploration and am watching over her.
It looks like that her earthen body is tricky to move in. Each time she moves her joints, flour-like dust drops.
She’s D-rank now. That’s the same rank that the ball rabbit got too. Raising her level in one go is going to be difficult now. Personally, I’ve come as far as I have both because I got double experience, and because I had an objective I pushed myself to near death for – both factors are important. Even with unlimited healing, it’s going to take some time.
Though saying that, going from E to D, she suddenly went from bone to (earthen imitation) flesh. [Revaana] long for a body of flesh, God’s Voice said. She’s on the right path for an undead to become more human, I think. That is me being optimistic, though. I would be happy if C rank puts her in a form even closer to a human. It’s a bit hard to imagine what B rank would do though.
“Ah… Ah, oh”
While I’m lost in thought, I hear a hoarse voice. Breaking off my train of thought, I break I look towards the voice’s owner, Aro.
Through her creaking joints, she’s gradually gotten used to moving, it seems. I think she’s finally become able to walk without discomfort. After confirming she can move adequately well, we resume our travels.
We give the Lithovar village a wide berth, heading in the direction the manticore fled. The dragon-god’s miko, Hibi, said something along the lines of 『it went in that direction, so it’ll be fine. 』. So she had some idea of where manticore was going.
