Chapter 14
Would you call it a miracle if it happened twice?
[Is it effective...?]
It rarely works on lower-level monsters .
That’s how Abnormal State Endownt works .
That’s what the goddess said .
Is it that minotaur have lower-level?
It’s different .
There’s no way strong heroes and warriors would be dispatched to this place just for lower-leveled monsters .
That’s what my reasoning think so .
With a miracle-like probability, I succeeded .
It happened .
A miracle .
I rembered the words of that goddess .
The duration of endowed Abnormal State is short .
It’s short .
I have to hurry up and escape .
I get up quickly .
And started running .
[Hah... ah–hah...~]
Thank god I can finally rest .
I was able to recover so of my physical strength .
This miracle,
Do I just let it go away?
[Wah~ ahahaha! Wa~ ahahafu–!]
Sh*t .
I was short of breath .
Physical strength correction?
Speed correction?
If I were a higher-level hero, I would have had more stamina .
Damn it .
[Zeehhh...~ Zehhh...~]
I closed my mouth with my hand .
I can’t suppress the sound of my breathing .
Anyway . .
Where is this?
I timidly turned around .
I’m checking my back .
It’s not chasing .
Did I shake it off?
My feet hurts .
Probably because of fatigue .
I slowly slouched in place .
I touch my knees and ankles .
I think it’s not sprained .
Even if it’s just a little while, should I rest for a bit?
And then head towards above ground .
Sohow, above ground–
[Okay . ]
I will raise my dignity .
I will beco firm .
That’s right .
That’s extrely right .
There’s no reason not to .
After all,
But that story is after I’ve left the transfer territory .
I’m going to leave .
Of course, there are other monsters .
[Guiii~rrruuuu~! Birrrriiii~! Bi pa pi ko kkkooo~! Pi ko pi ko~! Ko kkeeee~!!! Koo kkeeee~!!!]
What is this thing...?
Its head is— clattering .
It’s like that doll I’ve seen before .
What is this?
A bird-like monster?
Is this that cockatrice?
It does look like that?
I an, it’s head definitely looks like so bird .
It developed so deformity sowhere and grown really big .
No... is that a horn?
Even though it had that bird-like head .
And it has a four-ard humanoid body from the neck down .
It looks creepy .
I know that’s not how a cockatrice looks .
It’s skin is the sa as the minotaur .
An orange line that looks like its blood vessels is on it’s black skin .
[O kko nni~~ yaa~~ ppaa pppii kkkooeee~]
Every ti it clucks like a bird with it’s weird voice,
Dripping acid were released from the hole in its body .
Bicha~
Becha~ tsu,
Shuwashuwashuwa...
The bird head’s round eyes look down on .
Gyoro~
[Pii kko~ ppaa rrrii~~ kkkoo pppii . kkkkooookkkkooookkkoookkkooo~ Kkkkooooeeee~!!!]
Sloppily .
Drool began to drip from the bird head .
Does this guy plan to eat ?
[O kkorrri~ ppoo rrooo~ kkoo rrooo rroor rooo rooo rrrrooo~ ppaa ppiii kkkooo pppiii kkkooo~ ppaa pppii kkkoo~ kkooo rroo kkkoo kkkkooeee~! kkoooeee!! Kkkkoooee!!! Kkkoo rrooo rorooororororororororoorrrooo~!!!]
An ear-piercing high-pitched cry .
It’s four arms move like an eagle .
Its huge claws are no joke .
If you’re scratched by that– serious injury is inevitable .
Can I escape?
No... that’s impossible .
I know .
I didn’t even feel its presence .
The minotaur’s speed .
Reflexes .
And all the other things .
It’s on a different league .
Now, I don’t care anymore about Kirihara and the other’s peace of mind . (T/N: not sure here . )
If I were to choose on of them as an enemy, I won’t hesitate to choose the .
A roar not made out of spite .
From the monster here is–
Killing intent .
Pure,
Authentic,
Genuine killing intent .
They may not have found any special reason for killing .
Killing for it to eat?
Killing for it to live?
Whatever it is– Just killing intent .
I don’t think this bird head is any way weaker than that minotaur .
It’s certainly strong .
Probably all the monsters in this level are–
Brutal enough to kill all those strong people who were disposed .
I thought I’m out of my previous predicant .
But,
Here’s a second predicant .
Everyone would have died .
The sent heroes and warriors .
They must have been killed .
By the monsters of this ruins .
Losing in the end .
Strong as you may be .
Even if you sohow kill one of them .
Another one is coming .
There’s many of them .
You’d be exhausted in the end and use up all your strength .
Your physical strength .
Your willpower .
I don’t like this .
I don’t want to die,
I don’t want to die,
I don’t want to die .
I unconsciously raised my arms again .
It’s like feeling on depending to a wish .
[––]
Miracles, you see...
They’re called miracles because they’re...
Miracles .
No matter the circumstances, they won’t occur twice–
[Gggoooo— ppiiii– ggggii...]
I opened my eyes .
[Eh?]
My mouth opened wide .
[It worked...?]
Is it unable to move?
It looks like the bird head is sweating sohow .
It’s desperately trying to move .
However, it can’t move for so reason .
That’s how I think .
It worked?
The miracle worked twice?
The endownt?
The paralysis .
Praying that the stopped four don’t suddenly move and extend its arms to ,
I pass through the side of the bird head .
And when the bird head is completely behind ,
I run .
With all of my strength .
At that ti, a hypothesis ca to my mind .
It’s like a revelation .
There’s no way, I thought .
But I thought .
Miracles are miracles because they rarely happen .
If it happened twice in a row, people will not call it a miracle .
For example,
If the success of the two skills are not a miracle–
Then is it a certainty?
The unique skills of Mimori Touka .
Abnormal State Endownt .
It succeeded twice .
To the monsters in this ruins .
Minotaur won’t be able to chase .
The bird head also won’t be able to chase .
For example,
Supposing,
Supposing, for example–
If this world’s skill and my otherworldly skill were completely different things .
Regardless of monster grade .
If the probability of success is very high .
If the duration that it works is very long .
[If so, then...]
Looking back behind towards the bird head .
[I may survive in this ruins . ]
