chapter 51

“Д-iiiiiiiii!”

Skullhead’s kick hits me in the abdomen.

Before I could scream, his claws tried to grab my head.

But the momentum of the kick sent my body flying backwards, and the green hand grabbed the air.

“What?”

My body hits a tree and stops.

For a moment, in my blurred vision, I could see the figure of Skullhead, who was about to jump towards me.

Quickly, I activate my earth magic. The earth rises from below, and a wall is created in front of me.

At the same time, the wall was broken by Skullhead.

–I knew it was fast!

We run deeper into the forest, blending in with the shattered earth debris.

If I don’t disappear from Skullhead’s sight, the attack will continue.

While running around in the darkness so that he doesn’t notice me, I check the damage in the meantime.

Physical attacks don’t work on Skullhead.

However, Sen and Nana’s Bond Abilities were effective.

Although its defence was high, it was likely to deal damage if it was magic.

I arrived in front of the draugr – right behind Nana.

Skullhead doesn’t seem to have noticed us and is staring in the direction of a few scattered leaves.

“Nana! Help me!”

I grab the girl’s shoulder, but she doesn’t respond.

“The undead in front of you won’t attack you. So please focus on the Skullhead and attack it. If we don’t use magic, there’s little chance of defeating him!”

The girl’s eyes are empty. She’s not looking at anything.

She is in a completely closed state of mind.

“Like your abilities with Sen.”

When I mentioned the name, the girl reacted.

“No.”

“What?”

“No, no, no, no, no, no! Sen. Sen is dead!”

Nana holds her head and cries out.

“We’re adventurers! You don’t know when or where you will die. That much is obvious!”

“No, no, no…….Sen, Sen…….”

She continues to mumble the boy’s name, like a child calling for his mother who is gone.

This one …… isn’t ready to be an adventurer.

We’re hunting for life.

That means we can be hunted.

That’s it. That’s all I know.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

I grab Nana’s chest.

The girl refuses to make eye contact with me.

She’s trying to get away from the situation.

“What do you think Sen fought for? He was trying to live. Then what good is it if you don’t survive.”

At my words, Nana finally meets my eyes.

“Live……”

“Yeah, we’re alive, right, Kya……?”

Suddenly, my abdomen heats up.

When I put my face down, Skullhead’s arms shot out through me.

Did he stab me in the back?

” Uh-huh.”

I’m losing consciousness.
