#106
106. Let’s stick together! (3)
At the end of the aisle, I stopped.
‘… … .’
I looked down at the floor.
Instead of the silver metal that usually covered the waiting room, grass and soil covered the floor. Looking ahead, I saw the shadows of sparse trees in the distance. Grass, soil, trees and flowers. It was an interior accessory purchased with gold.
‘Did he even do something like this?’
It was a small forest.
There is even a peculiar moisture in the air. I walked inside with the saggy rakari slung over my shoulder. A few huts built with logs stood out.
“What are you?”
A response came right away.
I turned my head. Two women were looking at me with wide eyes.
She is wearing a dress made from animal skin. Her impression and appearance were similar to Lakari, but on this side, she was a full-fledged adult. One gaze turned to Rakkari.
“That child…”
“Wasn’t that the one you sent?”
If you’ve come this far, there’s nothing to see.
I set the rakari on my shoulder to the dirt floor.
“What kind of kid did you hide like a spy? He didn’t do it right. I’ll say it for reference, but he didn’t do anything special. He was running wild, so I just made him quiet.”
“That guy is what he was talking about…”
“Then, among humans…”
I narrowed my eyebrows.
The two of them started chatting among themselves. I had my hand on the scabbard in case of emergency, but there was no outright hostility towards them. Just a little bit of vigilance and curiosity. I inspected the lakari beneath my feet.
“Ummm…”
There is no sign of waking up as if he had passed out completely.
The woman on the left quickly approached Lakkari and took her away.
‘It’s not very different from humans.’
Even though they are beastmen, there is no noticeable difference. At best, they were dressed in unusual clothes and had sharp fingernails. There were no features such as having animal ears or a protruding tail.
“Are you an Israt?”
The woman, the one remaining prisoner, said.
“How do you know my name?”
“He’s waiting.”
After the woman finished speaking, she threw herself away.
The jump distance is only a few meters. It was a surprisingly quick move.
I clicked my tongue.
I tried to talk, but they just said what they had to say and disappeared. I didn’t even think about pursuing it.
‘I don’t know the intention.’
I just know that you’re not completely hostile to me.
I walked slowly without taking my hand off the scabbard. There was a dirt road inside.
‘He created a completely dedicated space.’
On one side of the forest, I saw a scarecrow made of straw and various obstacles made of weaving wood.
It seemed like a temporary training ground for only 3 parties. Move on. There is a large clearing in the middle of the forest. And a girl stood tall in the middle of the clearing.
“I was waiting. Ahahaha!”
The girl laughed out loud.
It was a voice that did not match the small body.
Brown hair stretched out like a mane behind the girl’s back. From the looks of it, her age was no different from Lakari.
“I’m Kishasha Bikshabi. Nice to meet you. You’re an Israt. I’ve heard a lot of stories. He’s the strongest male in this waiting room, right?”
“The strongest male?”
“I was able to see you fighting with the Master’s strange magic. It was amazing! It’s been a long time since I’ve been so excited.”
Kishasha raised her right hand.
Squeak. His fingernails protruded from his crude white hands.
I ended up laughing.
“It was for a simple reason.”
It wasn’t about being territorial or trying to keep things in check.
just pure,
“Warrior, Han Israt!”
“okay.”
“Let’s fight with me!”
In an instant, the soil Kishasha was standing on was hollowed out.
Piles of leaves and dirt swayed, and the little body approached me at breakneck speed. The right hand disappeared leaving an afterimage. I immediately drew my sword and clashed.
Cacan!
The sword and nails crossed.
A heavy impact travels through the wrist and up to the shoulder. Her muscles tingled.
When I fixed my posture, my body had already moved back several steps.
“You blocked it!”
Kishasha’s mouth twisted happily.
Bang!
At the same time, the feet flew like cannons.
I bowed my head. The tree behind me snapped in half like a can of sorghum.
‘What is this monstrosity.’
“Yesterday the warrior was full of fighting spirit. But he couldn’t satisfy me. What about you!”
“Did you want to fight me?”
“Of course. There’s nothing more enjoyable than fighting a strong warrior. Whether it’s a human or his own kind!”
Kishasha lowered herself tightly.
Then it leapt to me. It was like watching a cheetah.
Cacan! Kang!
Sparks flew as swords collided with nails.
Even with the hard blade of Bifrost, Kishasha’s fingernails were not scratched.
‘Is it a fighting technique using nails?’
I set the bifrost aside.
Kishasha’s outstretched hands climbed up the sword face, making a loud friction sound. At the same time, her foot strikes. The movements of her hands and feet were as smooth as flowing water. also.
‘Why is the little boy so strong?’
Cucumber!
His fingernails dug through the soil, leaving a small pit in an instant.
The hands and feet were seemingly soft like those of a child, but they possessed the strength to crush trees like millet cans.
Two nails in quick succession grazed the shoulder.
The leather armor was cut like tofu, exposing the skin. I took a step back and swung my sword wide. Kisasha dodged, leaping 2m high, then slammed her nails down from top to bottom. He immediately retrieved his sword and blocked it.
bang!
The leaves rose with the dust.
Kishasha, who quickly retreated, charged again.
It moves quickly and freely. He couldn’t get the timing right between attack and defense. It was an enemy of a style I had never dealt with before.
I energized my whole body and turned the sword to cut it.
Kishasha immediately dodged. Then, using the recoil of my muscles, I bent the sword diagonally and swung it. He stopped it with his claws.
puck!
After flying several meters, Kishasha got stuck in the grass.
The boy jumped up, wading through the blades of grass.
“You’re different. I never thought it would be like this.”
Kishasha smiled and wiped the blood from her mouth.
I lowered my sword. I looked at my left forearm and saw that it was bleeding. In the meantime, he would scratch his forearm.
‘Status window.’

[Unique Skill: Sign Language]
I smiled bitterly.
He has an edge over me in all stats.
‘If it’s natural, is it natural?’
The abilities they have are different.
Looking at the total, the growth rate seemed to be excellent. If you go through reinforcement later, you can make up for the lacking stats, but there was no way yet.
In addition, he had all the essential skills, including intermediate weapon skills, and even came out with an imprint. In short.
‘Among the top 4 stars.’
The figures on the surface give me a significant edge.
If I hadn’t learned the new swordsmanship skill, I would have been pushed back quite a bit. In terms of the specs revealed on the outside, it seemed okay even compared to the lowest 5 stars.
‘but.’
‘Pick Me Up’ is not a game played only with specifications.
There were plenty of cases where battles where superiority and inferiority were clear were overturned. Whether it’s a mission or a duel between heroes.
It is the lineage of the beast king.
Strong since birth. He may have his own abilities, but he seems to be a natural gold spoon.
‘I can’t lose that way.’
You feel bad.
I laughed and straightened my sword.
A reason to fight, no matter what. I even forgot that the enemy in front of me was a kid with the appearance of an early to mid-teen.
“If you don’t come, I will go.”
I held my sword sideways and bent my lower body.
At that time, star dust glittered next to it. Issel. Blocked before interfering.
“Don’t stop. We don’t intend to kill each other. It’s just a greeting, isn’t it?”
“Ahaha! I know. That’s right, it’s a body-to-body conversation. It’s a friendship ceremony. You’re human, but I like you!”
“That’s good.”
jumped lightly
Whoo!
and swung hard.
I’m going to have a good time with the same technique. only heavy. stronger. I don’t have the talent to master all sword types like Ridigion. If so, you have no choice but to dig into one thing. It was only when he realized that fact that he was able to learn how to combine new swords.
‘Heavy sword.’
bang!
The thick bifrost blade struck Kishasha.
Strong wind pressure hit me in the face. Standing on the floor, Kishasha slipped several meters.
“Exciting!”
Kishasha had a big smile on her face.
At the same time, he kicked the dirt floor and lunged at me. willing to fit in Kishasha has been attacking me with every part of her body, from her hands and feet to her head to her elbows and knees.
Body-to-body fighting and swordsmanship. In this case, having a weapon is much more advantageous, but Kishasha quickly dodged her sword and sometimes collided with me.
Kishasha bends down as if lying down.
The blade of the sword that passed over it cut through the tree. A tree whose middle was cut slid to the left. cooong. As the tree fell, dust rose. A fist flew out of the dust. Blood splattered on his cheek just by brushing against it.
While continuing the melee by smashing and destroying the surrounding trees, soil, and rocks.
‘It’s about time to raise the gear.’
It’s okay to continue fighting like this, but it’s not to my liking.
This guy is hiding his power. Same for me. He has already shown enough to show. It was time for him to move on.
‘Wide.’
Hot blood circulated in my head.
[‘Han (★★★)’ has entered a berserk state!]
My eyes got hot.
I gave strength to my hands and waist. A triple strike with enormous weight struck Kishasha. Kishasha flew like her cannonball and landed in her mound of dirt.
As the berserkness reached level 7, the added stat value exceeded 15. Adding the new sword union to this, it was possible to produce a power close to 80 only with pure power.
“Let’s finish.”
I said while watching the flying dust.
“I’m a busy body after all. I have a lot of other things to do.”
‘Did you say sign language?’
Each seal has a unique skill.
Each has a different utility, but Kishasha’s descendant of the Beast King is B+. It was a fairly high grade.
A shadow rose from the dust.
[Unique skill, sign language activated!]
[‘Kishasha (★★★★)’ transforms!]
A low growl echoed.
The little girl’s voice was nowhere to be found. It was the cry of an unstoppable beast. and.
‘tiger.’
I smiled.
I thought I knew now why he was called a prisoner. A huge beast appeared through the dust. Size is about 2 m. It is much bigger than the one I saw at the zoo.
“Is that your true face?”
The tail on its back moved left and right.
The whole body was covered with thick striped leather.
“…”
Kishasha didn’t answer.
Instead, I only stepped forward with a front foot the size of my upper body.
‘This is a raffle.’
His personal fighting ability is also excellent.
It even has the ability to transform.
Although his disposition was a little peculiar, this was within the acceptable range.
‘It will be of great help in the strategy.’
if you can handle it properly.
‘If you want to fight, I’ll do whatever you want.’
I pointed my sword at the guy’s face.
The molars illuminated my face.
and.
“Kwaaang!”
With a roar, Kishasha charged.
I also ran face to face.
