“Kre-e-eek! Ke-eek!”

The giant monster attempted to cough forcefully to expel the foreign object lodged in its throat. However, what came out was only a large amount of blood, matching the creature’s size.

“There were probably dozens of thorns stuck and clinging to its throat. It won’t be easy to get rid of them so easily.”

The creature’s current state of agony provided the opportunity to finish it off.

Kaiyan picked up another Frogspawn corpse that he had placed on the ground and assumed a stance.

‘Breath Control, focus.’

“Kreurr… Kekek!”

Booong!

In sync with the creature’s coughing, he threw the Frogspawn. Perhaps due to its suffering or the knights attacking from the surroundings, the creature didn’t notice the swiftly flying Frogspawn.

“Die.”

A mysterious monster known as the Sky Turtle or Rock Turtle, which has existed since ancient times. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Nʘvᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

In reality, they were closer to animal mutations than monsters, as they were a race born from the breeding of animals and monsters.

Since they were able to swim and even fly, they mainly inhabited canyons or coastal areas and led mostly peaceful lives.

“Ke-ek!”

However, today a big problem occurred for the Sky Turtles inhabiting the canyon.

While peacefully strolling through the forest, the Sky Turtles suddenly found themselves under attack from unfamiliar beings.

These beings attacked its sturdy shells with their strange elongated wings, causing injuries that pierced through the tough shells that had easily blocked attacks from other monsters.

“Kre-e-eek!”

Without any reason, the Sky Turtles, who were attacked, naturally became furious and retaliated against the beings. However, the beings swiftly dodged its attacks and even forced something into its mouth, inflicting terrible pain.

“Kreurr… Ke-eek!”

Finally, unable to bear the pain, the Sky Turtles hunched over and used the power within their bodies.

“We need to feed it one more time, right? It’s still lively.”

Uncle Max, who had finished carrying the Frogspawn corpses, approached and spoke.

“For some reason, it seems that it’s not opening its mouth so carelessly anymore. But this is still tough…”

They needed to insert the Frogspawn into the creature’s mouth several more times, but the situation wasn’t favorable.

Moreover, they couldn’t forcefully open the giant creature’s mouth with sheer strength.

“Just dragging out time won’t work. We need to be cautious of other monster attacks.”

Staying in this location was quite dangerous due to the blood spilled little by little from the injuries suffered by everyone except Kaiyan.

Predatory monsters were most attracted to the smell of blood. That was evident from how the Frogspawn had pursued the knights from a long distance.

“What should we do…?”

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

“It’s going to fly with that size? Are you kidding?”

The body of the massive creature gradually began to rise.

It was a creature that was the size of ten ogres combined. Did that even make sense?

Not only was the creature large, but judging by the vibrations felt with each movement of its legs, it seemed to have enormous weight. Yet, it could fly.

“…How on earth did it do this?”

“It’s absurd. What have we been doing until now…?”

The exclamation didn’t seem to come only from Kaiyan. Sighs could be heard from all directions.

Certainly, anyone would react that way seeing such a creature flying.

“Kre-e-eek!”

The creature, which had now soared to a considerable height, roared at them as if to say, “Let’s never meet again.”

“At any rate… we managed to defeat it. Uncle Jeff, this is the first time you’ve seen a monster like this, right?”

“I’ve never seen a monster like that either. Huh…”

There were more new monsters in the monster dwelling than the known monsters. It was quite a mystery.

“Kaiyan.”

While watching the monster fly away, he heard a faint voice from behind. It was someone looking for him.

“Sir Knight.”

It was the old knight. Due to the hardships he had endured over the past few days, he looked much older than when Kaiyan first met him.

“Thank you for your help. If it weren’t for you and the Frogspawn corpses, we would have suffered great losses. And you’re the one who defeated that creature, right?”

“Well… if I can help, I will.”

It was a statement that pricked his conscience, but his expression acting was excellent, as the old knight looked at him with a moved expression and patted his shoulder.

“I don’t know how fortunate we are to have you in our unit. But where are the other soldiers? Ah, did they fall victim to the Frogspawn?”

“No, that’s not the case. The other soldiers are hiding, avoiding the Frogspawn. I came after them, just in case.”

“I see, you did well. Then let’s join up with the other soldiers first. It’s too dangerous to stay here any longer.”

The old knight began to rouse the knights who had sat down to rest.

As he said, it was foolish to remain in a place overflowing with the scent of blood.

“We don’t know the way, so will you lead the way?”

“Yes, please follow me.”

The group began to move again, following the path Kaiyan had taken before. In truth, Kaiyan had mostly traveled by flight, so walking through the forest was a first for him, but there was no need to mention that to them.

After about 30 minutes of trekking through the forest, a massive canyon came into view. And beyond it, a rocky mountain.

“The middle of the rocky mountain over there. The soldiers are there.”

It took them a whopping 30 minutes to walk a distance that would have taken a mere 2 minutes by flight.

The fortunate part was that they didn’t encounter a single monster attack while moving through the forest.

“They’re all quite exhausted now. They need to rely on their senses as much as possible.”

Thanks to his sharp senses that made his head tingle at the slightest hint of danger.

It was a newly discovered fact that by avoiding places where his senses of danger were heightened, they didn’t encounter any monsters. However, they couldn’t just rely on their senses blindly and wander around the habitat.

“Still, if I had known earlier, I could have saved more people…”

The expressions of the soldiers who survived the monster wave, only to die futilely at the hands of monsters, were still etched in Kaiyan’s memory.

Resentment towards the old knight and fear that they would die filled their eyes.

“Captain? Captain Kaiyan is back!”

“Captain Kaiyan has returned!”

When they arrived at the middle of the rocky mountain, the soldiers who had been hiding showed themselves and hurriedly approached.

“Nothing major happened while I was gone, right?”

“Hoo… don’t even mention it! Soon after you disappeared, an orc horde came!”

“An orc horde, you say?”

How did orcs end up here? It meant they appeared not only in the Gamian but also in the Pani Bellum area, where they weren’t supposed to be.

“Hehe! Why don’t we have this discussion sitting down? Everyone needs rest.”
