Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Would you call it a miracle if it happened twice?

[Is it effective...?]

It rarely works on lower-level monsters .

That’s how Abnormal State Endowment works .

That’s what the goddess said .

Is it that minotaur have lower-level?

There’s no way strong heroes and warriors would be dispatched to this place just for lower-leveled monsters .

That’s what my reasoning think so .

With a miracle-like probability, I succeeded .

I remembered the words of that goddess .

The duration of endowed Abnormal State is short .

I have to hurry up and escape .

And started running .

Thank god I can finally rest .

I was able to recover some of my physical strength .

Do I just let it go away?

[Wah~ ahahaha! Wa~ ahahafu–!]

I was short of breath .

Physical strength correction?

If I were a higher-level hero, I would have had more stamina .

[Zeehhh...~ Zehhh...~]

I closed my mouth with my hand .

I can’t suppress the sound of my breathing .

I timidly turned around .

I’m checking my back .

Probably because of fatigue .

I slowly slouched in place .

I touch my knees and ankles .

I think it’s not sprained .

Even if it’s just a little while, should I rest for a bit?

And then head towards above ground .

Somehow, above ground–

I will raise my dignity .

That’s extremely right .

There’s no reason not to .

But that story is after I’ve left the transfer territory .

Of course, there are other monsters .

[Guiii~rrruuuu~! Birrrriiii~! Bi pa pi ko kkkooo~! Pi ko pi ko~! Ko kkeeee~!!! Koo kkeeee~!!!]

What is this thing...?

Its head is— clattering .

It’s like that doll I’ve seen before .

Is this that cockatrice?

It does look like that?

I mean, it’s head definitely looks like some bird .

It developed some deformity somewhere and grown really big .

No... is that a horn?

Even though it had that bird-like head .

And it has a four-armed humanoid body from the neck down .

It looks creepy . The source of thɪs content is N0velFire.ɴet

I know that’s not how a cockatrice looks .

It’s skin is the same as the minotaur .

An orange line that looks like its blood vessels is on it’s black skin .

[O kko nni~~ yaa~~ ppaa pppii kkkooeee~]

Every time it clucks like a bird with it’s weird voice,

Dripping acid were released from the hole in its body .

The bird head’s round eyes look down on me .

[Pii kko~ ppaa rrrii~~ kkkoo pppii . kkkkooookkkkooookkkoookkkooo~ Kkkkooooeeee~!!!]

Drool began to drip from the bird head .

Does this guy plan to eat me?

[O kkorrri~ ppoo rrooo~ kkoo rrooo rroor rooo rooo rrrrooo~ ppaa ppiii kkkooo pppiii kkkooo~ ppaa pppii kkkoo~ kkooo rroo kkkoo kkkkooeee~! kkoooeee!! Kkkkoooee!!! Kkkoo rrooo rorooororororororororoorrrooo~!!!]

An ear-piercing high-pitched cry .

It’s four arms move like an eagle .

Its huge claws are no joke .

If you’re scratched by that– serious injury is inevitable .

No... that’s impossible .

I didn’t even feel its presence .

The minotaur’s speed .

And all the other things .

It’s on a different league .

Now, I don’t care anymore about Kirihara and the other’s peace of mind . (T/N: not sure here . )

If I were to choose on of them as an enemy, I won’t hesitate to choose the .

A roar not made out of spite .

From the monster here is–

Genuine killing intent .

They may not have found any special reason for killing .

Killing for it to eat?

Killing for it to live?

Whatever it is– Just killing intent .

I don’t think this bird head is any way weaker than that minotaur .

It’s certainly strong .

Probably all the monsters in this level are–

Brutal enough to kill all those strong people who were disposed .

I thought I’m out of my previous predicament .

Here’s a second predicament .

Everyone would have died .

The sent heroes and warriors .

They must have been killed .

By the monsters of this ruins .

Strong as you may be .

Even if you somehow kill one of them .

Another one is coming .

There’s many of them .

You’d be exhausted in the end and use up all your strength .

Your physical strength .

I don’t want to die .

I unconsciously raised my arms again .

It’s like feeling on depending to a wish .

They’re called miracles because they’re...

No matter the circumstances, they won’t occur twice–

[Gggoooo— ppiiii– ggggii...]

My mouth opened wide .

Is it unable to move?

It looks like the bird head is sweating somehow .

It’s desperately trying to move .

However, it can’t move for some reason .

The miracle worked twice?

Praying that the stopped four don’t suddenly move and extend its arms to me,

I pass through the side of the bird head .

And when the bird head is completely behind me,

With all of my strength .

At that time, a hypothesis came to my mind .

It’s like a revelation .

There’s no way, I thought .

Miracles are miracles because they rarely happen .

If it happened twice in a row, people will not call it a miracle .

If the success of the two skills are not a miracle–

Then is it a certainty?

The unique skills of Mimori Touka .

Abnormal State Endowment .

To the monsters in this ruins .

Minotaur won’t be able to chase me .

The bird head also won’t be able to chase me .

Supposing, for example–

If this world’s skill and my otherworldly skill were completely different things .

Regardless of monster grade .

If the probability of success is very high .

If the duration that it works is very long .

Looking back behind towards the bird head .

[I may survive in this ruins . ]
