Being a Monster Sea Scout!?

The pressure that suppressed the soul made many monsters that were within the river water shudder in fear. But, the incident only happened in a short time and just disappeared.

    It turned out, after Veroa held onto honjou masamune, that terrifying aura immediately disappeared just like that. Like an aggressive stray dog, it becomes tame after being domesticated. Honjou masamune looks like a fragile one-edged sword, if this katana does not give off a terrible aura.

    After the soul-pressing aura within the coverage of an extremely wide area, behind the fog at the end of the barren landland's visibility, several monsters sprung up. It seemed, the monster – was thirsty, about to drink water in the river, but there was a terrifying aura before, making them reluctant to approach.

    “It happened! The trial material even came by itself” said Veroa felt excited to see – monsters that one by one emerged from behind the fog at the end there at some point.

    “Will end badly while waiting for them to gather at one point. Better, I start attacking them from the end there!” he said to himself again after looking around and realizing the danger he would receive if he did not move from his current place. He pointed to the exact starting place of the attack, which is the direction to the left of the river behind him or the direction the river flow came.

    “Think of it, it seems like the direction they are moving, is centered here. Am I the one they're after? If yes, it will be very bad. I can only summon one magic army, even then it seems that I am still not perfect, while I myself am not too strong to defeat all of them at once. Let alone winning against them, can run away and still survive was still great” he said again before starting the movement.

    “OK, before they unite in one tenpat, it is better that I immediately attack them right now!"

    He immediately ran very fast with honjou masamune ready to be released at the right time. The distance that needed to be traveled was very far, while what he had just expected, he who was targeted turned out to be right. Their direction of motion continued to follow him who was running towards the upstream of the river. Realizing that, he further accelerated his running speed.

    The distance between him and the horde of monsters was getting closer, they were becoming more and more clearly visible. Various types of monsters unite simultaneously forward with the purpose of himself as a target. Monster – monsters are a combination of orcs, ogres, goblins are very large, lykan, even monsters that fly there, but they do not fly ahead of monsters that move on the land. “It is clear that this incident there is a figure behind the scenes that has set it” thought while still running did not reduce his speed.

    While running and there was still some distance between the two, he tried to summon two more magic troops, while the one he had ordered to inhibit the – monster behind him. “Fairy Alvar, as my spirit, I command you to call your troops to help me” he said as he tried to sense the existence of the spirit within him and kept running nonstop.

    Because it felt wrong to estimate, he tried to summon the magic army that had been called before to help him break through the monster – monster. He had mistakenly thought, because he had previously thought that the – monster was about to drink water, but after looking directly at it, they looked like a single troop that was in command of a general and prepared to fight him. Moreover, he was still unable to summon the other magic troops after he tried several times. All he had in mind right now was to break through the monsters ahead there to get out of the encirclement.

    “At least, blurring is the best solution at the moment. I am not a coward, this behavior is just a sign that I still love my own life”

    When the monster – monster had been within his attacking range, he jumped parabolicly, his hands ready to slash the neck of the ogre who was in the middle of the crowd.

The slash!!!

    A head in one slash instantly separated from his body. The green colored blood flowed profusely like a fountain, dyeing the surrounding – monster monsters with its blood. Before long, the ogre who had lost his head fell backwards uncontrollably and never got back up. He died before the battle began. Monster – monsters around inside momentarily felt surprised to see his partner killed without being able to react. But, they soon regained consciousness and began to attack Veroa who was now in the middle of the crowd. The magic army broke through itself from the front, so their attention split into two.

    It was a little bit in Veroa's favor, he could slash through many goblin heads in a single slash so freely that the two could fight side by side. His fighting style moved forward by prioritizing the opening of the way for Veroa to escape. Along the path he passed, on the left, in one second, the heads of goblins and orcs fell down and a fountain of blood dyed the battleground. On the right, many bodies were split in half, both vertically and horizontally cutting the upper and lower bodies. Unexpectedly, the magic army was extremely powerful and was able to keep up with the current clearance speed of the Veroa line.

    Cleaning speed, can be estimated to reach 15% of the previous speed of motion when he is focused on running. It can be said, the cleaning of the path carried out by both of them is amazingly fast for the current level. Every now and then, Veroa had to jump to avoid unexpected attacks from ogres or orcs, not goblins, because the damage could not penetrate his armor or even he did not feel any attacks from goblins. In addition to jumping to dodge, he also jumped to be able to slash the neck of orcs and ogres that were large and high, it was impossible if he who was now or had grown up could slash it without jumping first. Another case with a skill that can slash from a distance, it will be very useful for him, because with the many jumps he has done, it will be very useful, it was a huge drain on his energy that was being saved to use during the escape later.

    Some time had passed, both of them were still doing the escape route cleaning, though, but until now there is still no sign of – signs of reduced monsters that attack or at least seen behind them empty areas that signal the end of the horde of monsters that must be killed. But, he still had not seen it for a second, in front of it still looked very densely filled with monsters of the same kind that he had killed. What makes him worried is that the – monsters that are flying are still not making a move. Something shocking must be lurking in the shadows.

    Unbeknownst to him, from the front as well as the back or even from all sides, he had been surrounded by countless sea of monsters filling the barren land plains.
