No Cheat Another World's

52 - New Monster

I moved to ascertain the origin of the sound. Scared, obviously. But I have to do this. Not to forget, I kept hiding myself with my heart.

Humm??

I peeked a little as I looked towards the source of the sound.

"What is it, deer?"

The figure that caused the sound earlier was a monster with a small body but quite long legs, with a deer-like appearance. He also had a beautiful looking horn there.

With a height of about 1.5 meters and a length of 2.5 meters, he looked gigantic to me. But I know, it's not his biggest body.

He was seen scraping snow with his feet, probably looking for food. There was something under that snow, and it caught his attention. But it makes too much noise, so it bothers me.

"What should I do now? Do I have to kill him or just let him pass?" I feel worried in my heart.

On the one hand, I wonder what kind of improvement it will bring. But on the one hand, my job now is just to watch and recognize the terrain, nothing more. If I fight on the new terrain, I'm not sure I can win, let alone the enemy also the first time I saw it.

I pulled my Storm Dagger.

MOSQUITO MOSQUITO...

The deer seemed to be eating something, like a grass.

Ahh, right. I remember that in winter, deer would dig to get food. And that was hard for him. Besides, he eats plants, right?

Did he attack? Maybe not.

And with some consideration, I finally sheathed back my Storm Dagger.

"Well, maybe it's time for-"

?!!!

WHAT'STHAT'S THIS?!!

I immediately hid myself in the snow, when I felt something unpleasant appear on my hair.

This feeling, the feeling of a predator!!

I've felt this feeling, have I ever let it out? Whatisthis? Heavy!! Not like I've fought before!! This is so intimidating to me!!

Panicking, I checked the deer's whereabouts. But he just ate quietly, continuing to scrape off the snow with his long legs.

("If not him, then??") I'm honestly panicking right now.

I did not dare to turn around, afraid that there was a figure behind me right now. But it seems he's not around me right now.

I don't know why, I feel like I'm gonna die if I run out here. Therefore, I could only prepare myself by burying myself with snow, disguising my existence.

ZZZCH!!!

The killing intent was really felt until it pierced my bones. I never thought I would be so afraid even of an enemy I had never seen, but...

?!!

("What is that?") my heart kept asking.

I can't see him, but I can feel that he's coming!! I don't even know where he's watching!!! He was clearly a natural predator of this place!!

...

...

Silent...

Nothing's going on. There was only the sound of the wind and the little deer was scraping snow with its feet. But still, the hunter's feelings had still not disappeared.

It looks like he's after this deer, not me.

Wait for. I've felt this situation, right? When's? Ah!! If I remember, this was the situation on the first floor, when I saw my classmate being targeted by the Minotaur.

If I recall, that very high power difference frightened me. But now I have become stronger.

Does it signify how powerful this hate-emitting creature is??

I went back to observing the situation.

?!!

SREET!!!

An arrow quickly pierced through the body of that deer!!

What the hell is that?!! I could only see a hint of the prowess of the arrow, and it immediately pierced through the body of the deer. The deer that had been standing, could only be silent while falling down with a huge arrow piercing through his body.

BUSSHHH!!

The giant deer fell easily, onto the snow pile, changing its color to red.

I held my breath. My heart rate I noticed not to get any faster. Whatever monster is hunting this, he must be very strong.

But does that mean the monster that hunts deer is a very intelligent monster, right? Because he's already capable of using arrows here, so obviously he's a very intelligent monster.

He can make a need as well as an arrow, he means quite advanced.

At least advanced enough to the limits of primitive man.

Ahh, this is the kind of annoying enemy. What distinguishes humans from monsters is their thinking ability. If they have the same thinking ability as humans, then what can distinguish us?

It would be very annoying if they had the ability to speak human language.

Just thinking about it is enough to make you shake your head.

?!!

A snow mound moving!!

Was it? Is that him?? I no longer felt any overwhelming killing intent, but I'm sure it must be him.

The ground continued to tremble on his stomp, which every step made my guts grow shrill.

A burly creature with white feathers covering its entire body, which left me speechless. Just amazing, that's all I can mean.

The yeti.

Maybe that's how I can call him. Because from whatever angle I look at it, I can only see the living mythology of "Yeti" which is now in front of me.

I'm not an extraordinary strong man. But this kind of me can even feel how strong he is. Going to attack and fight him now is stupid. Even with the few tricks I had, I wasn't necessarily able to defeat him.

Alright. It's time not to take rash and silent steps!

My heart cried out and prayed that my body would remain still even as the cold snow began to pierce the skin that came into direct contact.

GGRRGHH??

The Yeti sniffed softly, looking smiling.

He won't realize me, will he? Really am. I don't want cliches on some movies to happen to me. I don't want that to happen. And if that happens, my only choice is one, escape. Whatever happens, no matter how much I look like I have a chance, getting away is the first choice.

SREET!!

He looked at me!!

The instant my blood stopped, my eyes widened without blinking. My heart was beating fast, even I forgot to breathe.

He walked slowly towards me, with his steps gradually getting bigger and heavier. Not only that, I could even feel the tremors of emotional vibrations that could even pierce my skin.

Damnit. L'm busted? How'this? What am I supposed to do? Do I have to go and run? Or should I attack and try the odds? Or maybe trying to find a gap to think about the next step? Uhh.... I want to cry....

GROOGGHH??

She quit?

I don't know, but he looked right and left, looking for something.

What's he looking for? No he seemed to be trembling. Wh why? Is it something he fears? There can't be anything more terrifying than this, right?

Tell me if that's true, please.

But quickly, the Yeti picked up the deer he killed earlier, and quickly ran with a small earthquake that emerged from every footstep of his large, sturdy foot.

A little bit grateful, that's what I thought. But it seems that I soon realized what was really going on.
