Chapter 13: The Stone of the Spirit

Chapter 13

✓Spirit Stones

(...He left something before he left.) (Mari)

The darkness was still thick, so I could only say it was a mass of something.

The sun peeked after a while.

As if the light was clearing the darkness, the surrounding scenery grew clearer.

"W-You .. must be kidding ..." (Mari)

It was red mass.

The thing that was as big as a small mountain was actually a pile of corpses that used to be a giant monkey that threw me into a spiral of fear.

Both arms, both legs, and his head were decapitated, and were packed carelessly.

Not just a giant monkey, even 2 small monkeys had been killed.

"Did he ... do it?" (Mari)

It was only about 10 to 20 seconds since the Avatar of Darkness left and those sounds were made.

He managed to do this in a short span of time.

Creatures far above.

The giant monkey was like an embodiment of violence, however, he managed to bring about his death in such a relaxed manner.

He disappeared after the morning came, but the night would come over and over again. Besides, I had to walk at night. Just thinking about the next night was already making me depressed.

“By the way, what should I do..?” (Mari)

The Avatar of Darkness is gone and the giant monkey is dead, so you could say the danger is gone.

I was afraid that the dark monster would appear again, but it seemed like it would be fine during the day.

Even so, I used the Barrier Stone again. There is still plenty of time left, but what should I do here?

If I cancel the barrier here, I have to walk in the morning.

Even if I have to wait for the barrier effect to end, it will end at 14:30, so I still have to walk when it is light.

The giant monkey is gone, so I don't know how big the danger is in the forest right now.

“...In the end, I had no choice but to think about it after I had actually traveled. Before that, what should I do with this 'gift'.” (Mari)

The Avatar of Darkness did say this was a gift.

What should I do with such an intimidating corpse?

There's no point in pondering about it. I decided to use the Instructions.

The previous instructions are very useful. There is a high chance that I will get very valuable information for the cost of 1 Crystal.

I opened the Status Board and confirmed the number of Crystals I had.

“…? They increased again.” (Mari)

My crystal has increased from 4 to 6.

When I confirmed it with a log, it said: [Reaching 100,000,000 Daily Viewers] and [Chance of Meeting the Great Spirit].1 Crystal each.

"Hundreds of millions of ordinary days that I know of, but...incidentally met the Great Spirit?" (Mari)

When talking about the ones I met, it was those monkeys and the embodiment of that darkness.

Then that dark monster was the Great Spirit?

"Darkness ... Great Dark Spirit, yes ..." (Mari)

When he thought about it that way, what he said did make sense.

After all, I have used the Dark Spirit Ability repeatedly.

Anyway, I'm grateful to get the crystal.

Right now I need a clue.

<>

When I touched Yes, the answer immediately appeared.

<[Get loot]>>

The looting…?

It was not something I gained by fighting, but a corpse was a corpse.

I think I can get something there.

For example; skin, bones, fangs, eyeballs, offal. Such things could serve as medicine or ingredients. But I don't even have a bag, so I can't carry a big one.

(I should also try using Monster Rating ...) (Hikaru)

Monster appraisal can tell me the information of the monsters that 'last met'.

<>

I thought maybe I would get information from that Dark Avatar, but it seems like dead monsters are also counted in the 'last meeting'.

Or perhaps the Great Spirit did not fall into the category of monsters.

[Fire People: Amazing Entities – Giant Monkeys that release fire from all over his body. The physical strength is strong, fast, and can spout flames from his mouth. The ones that became Amazing Entities were usually the top predators of the inhabited locations. It is an omnivore, and has a large territory. Even when transformed into an Amazing Entity, he had the rare trait to continue raising his children. The individual in question possessed the [Complete Form of Magical Entities] [Predator of Annihilation]. The chances of the Spirit Stone appearing were: Fire 20%, Chaos 80%, Pure 0%.]

This is a pretty detailed assessment.

But there are many words that I don't understand. What is an Amazing Entity…?

After all, I understood that this was an intense and powerful individual.

(Also, the Spirit Stone... Is it somewhere in her body?) (Mari)

The only thing described as loot from it is that.

Of course, if I take things like fangs and bones, there's a chance I could turn them into money, but…

"Fufu, haha, very stupid." (Mari)

In this life or death situation, I thought about the time when I escaped and turned it into money. A laugh came out of me because of how stupid it was.

But maybe that's what it means to live.

Thinking about the future. If I lose that hope, the spirit to keep going will be lost at the same time.

"Let's go." (Mari)

I used 1 Point and prepared a new Barrier Stone before releasing the Barrier.

If this monkey was the top predator here, there should be no dangerous creatures around.

I now have 6 Points left.

“Ugh!” (Mari)

A strong smell of blood seeped into that place.

I was struck by the unease that perhaps this stench would attract other carnivorous animals. I have to get 'bleeding' fast.

Even so, the giant monkey was 4 meters tall, and I did not have a knife in hand, so I could not even tear the corpse.

I can get a small knife if I use the Crystal, but ...

As I lined up the still warm bodies of the monkey children, I could see something that resembled a transparent jewel from the wound on their neck.

“What is this...?!” (Mari)

I stuck my finger there while resisting the urge to vomit, and pulled it out. It was a rock the size of a tennis ball.

It resembled a crystal, but it felt strange for something like this to be inside the body.

Other child monkeys also have the same transparent stone.

“There's this thing all over their bodies…? Of course not." (Mari)

I don't know, but I don't have time. It's impossible to dismantle a monkey's body here, and I don't have the tools. Also, I can't mentally handle it. I even felt like burying their bodies.

“The giant monkey...eh, still warm.” (Mari)

Rough enough to put my hand in a still-warm piece, but the clues are absolute.

Getting a stone here will definitely be useful in the future.

Maybe not now, but later.

“... Here it is, yes. So big." (Mari)

At a depth of about 15 cm from the wound, I finally found the stone.

It was not transparent and not red like its fur. It was a huge gem that was much larger than a fist that felt as if there were many colors sealed within.

"I feel like I've seen a gem like this ..." (Mari)

An opal? I think it's close to that.

After all, this is most likely the loot I can get here.

It's 6:00 in the morning.

I tore my own sleeve, closed one hole, and threw 3 Spirit Stones over there.

If I swung it, it could serve as an emergency weapon.

“[Dark Mist].” (Mari)

I am afraid of the Great Dark Spirit, but it is impossible to escape from this forest without the Spirit Ability.

I wrapped the darkness around my body, and started walking, leaving the monkey corpse there.

350 Kilometers left.

This is my 4th morning since coming to this parallel world.

The remaining points: 6.

Remaining crystals: 4.
