Chapter 267: Hero Gagaza
267 – Hero Gagaza
Checking my surroundings with [Presence Perception], I run around the village. Nothing shows up at all. With all the residents taking shelter, the town feels empty like an empty ghost town.
I notice a large concentration of human presences, and when I go to check it out I find a large building similar to the meeting hall. Probably, the basement of that place was also prepared as a shelter. After all’s said and done, the Lithovars really used to dealing with the abysses… Though, they did gather around the shelter entrance earlier. Once that happens, it’s a war of attrition.
I sense an abyss-like presence, so I go closer to check it out. I find an abyss corpse pierced by a large number of spears. It has dried out, so it probably wasn’t killed today. I wonder if it’s got an effect of warding them off. I know a lot of animals are supposed to sense danger and flee when they see one of their species’ corpse. But for those guys, I get the feeling they’re more likely to come closer when they smell the corpse of their ally…
After hurriedly leaving the abyss corpse, my partner starts sniffing. Just as I’m wondering what’s up, she stretches out her head as if to guide me.
“Gaah! GAAah!”
Hmm? What is it? What’s up? Is something there?
『This, it’s this!』
No, rather than use a pronoun, please actually say what it is. What did you find?
