Chapter 337: Chimera Lich
337 – Chimera Lich
From a branch of the giant tree, I look down. There’s no sign of the hopping freshly-severed woman’s head, nor the headless men. It doesn’t look like they chased me. I-I was able to shake those disgusting adams and eve off somehow…
I stick out my tongue, and out rolls a sphere of hardened earth. What…is that? As I think that, the sphere breaks, and Aro appears from inside. It seems the moment I stuck her in my mouth, she used [Clay] to make a shell of earth.
Y-you hated it that much…? Well, yeah, I guess it stinks of dragon. For the time being, should we get down from here and go somewhere relatively safe?
…No, it might be better to stay up here now that I know adams won’t attack. Depending on the situation, they could climb by jumping, but it doesn’t seem like they’re going to try and climb so proactively. That is, unless they’re currently digging a hole through the tree to get to me.
As I think that, I feel a faint presence of something drawing closer. Up here might not be safe either…
I turn my head toward the presence, but don’t see anything in particular. My partner suddenly stretches out and bumps my head.
『Look closely!』
I focus my attention, and… There’s a patch of space on the branch that looks oddly warped. The colours there look a bit faded, or rather it looks a bit unnatural…
