“Huhaak! I do remember it!”

“Heup, is there really a way?”

Before starting the operation, Kaiyan made the uncles promise one thing.

They will follow his lead, no matter what he does. And even if curiosity arises, they won’t ask.

“Of course, there is!”

He took out the first item he had purchased in advance from his pocket.

Three 3rd Circle Haste magic scrolls. The effect lasts for 30 minutes, increasing the user’s movement speed.

Rip—

When he tore all three scrolls at once, a light briefly emanated from his body and disappeared, making his steps lighter. His stamina remained the same, but it felt like only his body had become lighter.

“Uh… What, what is this!”

Uncle Max’s bewildered voice.

It seemed that he couldn’t adapt to his suddenly increased speed and stumbled anxiously.

“Uncle, I won’t take responsibility if you fall!”

“Uwaaa! I can’t die here!”

Soon enough, Uncle Max regained his senses, perhaps because his words were effective, and quickly adapted to the increased speed.

Even if the harpies fly through the sky, it’s natural that they, who have used Haste, are faster. However, there are limits to their stamina, and above all, this is their territory.

“Don’t let your guard down while entering the forest.”

If they escape from the gorge and enter the outer forest, it will be possible to effectively shake off the harpies using the darkened sky and cover.

“Kaiyan! Harpies are appearing ahead too!”

“We have to break through!” Sᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

While descending into the canyon, harpies appeared, blocking their way. Whether they had noticed them or had originally been there, he didn’t know.

What’s important is not to waste time on them.

Shing—

Drawing his sword quickly and leaping forward even faster.

“Aura Activation, Control Breath, Focus, Powerful Downward Strike.”

“Kyaaah!”

“Get lost, you birds!”

Puhwaak—

Harpies are being sliced by his one-handed sword.

It’s laughable that he’s being hindered by these creatures with such explosive growth in their abilities.

Moreover, there are knights here who need attention.

This place is the perfect location to unleash all the restrained abilities.

“Hooah! Kaiyan, you’re like a monster.”

“…I agree.”

While listening to the uncles’ absurd jokes, he swung his sword like a madman.

The creatures couldn’t withstand a single blow and scattered, spraying blood in all directions.

“Now, 10 minutes have passed.”

It had been approximately 10 minutes since they left the nest. Now, there were about 20 minutes remaining.

“It’s time to use the second item.”

He took out the item he had purchased from his pocket. This time, it was a low-grade toy called “Throw It Far!”

“Go far!”

Whoosh!

He threw the toy directly at the harpies. Initially, he thought about maximizing the effect by attaching it to an arrow, but he gave up since there was no guarantee that it would work properly despite being damaged like last time.

“Kiaaak?”

“Darn! This is a failure.”

The harpies, who reacted to the toy and stopped, numbered only a few hundred at best.

When you think about it, a few hundred was still a significant number, but seeing the terrifying number of harpies chasing them, he didn’t feel that way.

“Then, let’s use the third one right away!”

He took out the next item he had prepared from his pocket.

A shimmering mirror. He accidentally discovered it while rummaging through the list of toys.

[Mirror, Mirror! : Emits a powerful light for a moment, usable once by shouting “Mirror, Mirror”] [120G]

Compared to other toys, it had a somewhat shabby and childish description. However, it was indeed the perfect item for the current situation.

He turned the mirror towards the approaching harpies.

“Mirror, Mirror!”

Pow!

“Whoa! What is this again?”

“Argh!”

Despite the light emanating from the back of the mirror, the light was so intense that it felt like a chill down the back of their necks.

The dark night instantly vanished, and it felt like it was daytime now.

“Take this opportunity to create as much distance as possible!”

As expected from the unfriendly player system, the item’s usage time was not indicated.

Even if the item’s function suddenly ended, there was nowhere to express dissatisfaction in this situation.

“My 120G!”

Even if it was a waste, he continued to run while the mirror remained intact.

They had already arrived at the bottom of the canyon without realizing it. Just 10 more minutes of running, and they would reach the forest.

Crack—

“Well, one minute has already passed!”

The mirror shattered into pieces as if its time had run out.

The remnants of 140 gold flowed through his fingers.

“I’ve seen enough of its effect. It’s enough!”

The distance between them and the harpies that had been closely following them had significantly increased. Although he could sense the harpies screeching as they regained their senses after the light disappeared, it was impossible for them to catch up on land where they only needed to keep running unless it involved descending into the canyon.

“I’m alive!”

“Kaiyan, what the heck…”

“Did you forget the promise? And it’s not over yet! Keep running!”

While in the canyon, they only had to escape from the harpies, but it wouldn’t be the same from now on.

This place was the monsters’ territory. They must not forget that this was where monsters thrived.

“Now, 20 minutes left.”

“But where are we going? If it’s the forest, this way…”

“Simply going to the forest won’t help!”

“Then?”

“If you follow me, you’ll find out!”

How could they escape from the overwhelming number of monsters, not just harpies, and safely leave their territory?

During the three hours they had waited for the operation, they had spent a full two hours contemplating that issue.

“Thanks to that, I discovered an amazing method.”

A way to guarantee complete safety outside the monsters’ territory.

“Huh? This way?”

“Kaiyan! Isn’t it? Say it isn’t so, you bastard!”

Uncle Jeff and Uncle Max also looked at him as if they were looking at a crazy person while running.

“It’s quite understandable. Now, it’s the final item.”

He took out the last item he had prepared from his pocket.

The item that was absolutely necessary to conclude the entire plan.

“Should we go to your house?”

“Didn’t you say there was only one of them?”

“Of course, that was a lie! Let’s use it!”

Whoosh!

A round, colorful bead emitted a radiant light as it floated up from his hand.

“The one we’re looking for is an Elf-Orc!”

Whoosh!

“A stinky Elf-Orc!”
