Chapter 14

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 Endowment 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 remembered 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 some 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 .


Somehow, above ground–


[Okay . ]


I will raise my dignity .


I will become firm .


That’s right .


That’s extremely 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 mean, it’s head definitely looks like some bird .


It developed some deformity somewhere and grown really big .


No… is that a horn?


Even though it had that bird-like head .


And it has a four-armed humanoid body from the neck down .


It looks creepy .


I know that’s not how a cockatrice looks .


It’s skin is the same 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 time 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 me .


Gyoro~


[Pii kko~ ppaa rrrii~~ kkkoo pppii . kkkkooookkkkooookkkoookkkooo~ Kkkkooooeeee~!!!]


Sloppily .


Drool began to drip from the bird head .


Does this guy plan to eat me?


[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 predicament .


But,


Here’s a second predicament .


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 somehow 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 somehow .


It’s desperately trying to move .

However, it can’t move for some reason .


That’s how I think .


It worked?


The miracle worked twice?


The endowment?


The paralysis .


Praying that the stopped four don’t suddenly move and extend its arms to me,


I pass through the side of the bird head .


And when the bird head is completely behind me,


I run .


With all of my strength .


At that time, a hypothesis came 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 Endowment .


It succeeded twice .


To the monsters in this ruins .


Minotaur won’t be able to chase me .


The bird head also won’t be able to chase me .


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 . ]
