Would you call it a miracle if it happened twice?
[Is it effective...?]
It rarely works on lower-level monsters .
Thatâs how Abnormal State Endowment works .
Thatâs what the goddess said .
Is it that minotaur have lower-level?
Itâs different .
Thereâs no way strong heroes and warriors would be dispatched to this place just for lower-leveled monsters .
Thatâs what my reasoning think so .
With a miracle-like probability, I succeeded .
It happened .
A miracle .
I remembered the words of that goddess .
The duration of endowed Abnormal State is short .
Itâs short .
I have to hurry up and escape .
I get up quickly .
And started running .
[Hah... ahâhah...~]
Thank god I can finally rest .
I was able to recover some of my physical strength .
This miracle,
Do I just let it go away?
[Wah~ ahahaha! Wa~ ahahafuâ!]
Sh*t .
I was short of breath .
Physical strength correction?
Speed correction?
If I were a higher-level hero, I would have had more stamina .
Damn it .
[Zeehhh...~ Zehhh...~]
I closed my mouth with my hand .
I canât suppress the sound of my breathing .
Anyway . .
Where is this?
I timidly turned around .
Iâm checking my back .
Itâs not chasing .
Did I shake it off? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
My feet hurts .
Probably because of fatigue .
I slowly slouched in place .
I touch my knees and ankles .
I think itâs not sprained .
Even if itâs just a little while, should I rest for a bit?
And then head towards above ground .
Somehow, above groundâ
[Okay . ]
I will raise my dignity .
I will become firm .
Thatâs right .
Thatâs extremely right .
Thereâs no reason not to .
After all,
But that story is after Iâve left the transfer territory .
Iâm going to leave .
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 isâ clattering .
Itâs like that doll Iâve seen before .
What is this?
A bird-like monster?
Is this that cockatrice?
It does look like that?
I mean, itâs 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 .
I know thatâs not how a cockatrice looks .
Itâs skin is the same as the minotaur .
An orange line that looks like its blood vessels is on itâs black skin .
[O kko nni~~ yaa~~ ppaa pppii kkkooeee~]
Every time it clucks like a bird with itâs weird voice,
Dripping acid were released from the hole in its body .
Bicha~
Becha~ tsu,
Shuwashuwashuwa...
The bird headâs round eyes look down on me .
Gyoro~
[Pii kko~ ppaa rrrii~~ kkkoo pppii . kkkkooookkkkooookkkoookkkooo~ Kkkkooooeeee~!!!]
Sloppily .
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 .
Itâs four arms move like an eagle .
Its huge claws are no joke .
If youâre scratched by thatâ serious injury is inevitable .
Can I escape?
No... thatâs impossible .
I know .
I didnât even feel its presence .
The minotaurâs speed .
Reflexes .
And all the other things .
Itâs on a different league .
Now, I donât care anymore about Kirihara and the otherâs peace of mind . (T/N: not sure here . )
If I were to choose on of them as an enemy, I wonât hesitate to choose the .
A roar not made out of spite .
From the monster here isâ
Killing intent .
Pure,
Authentic,
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 isâ Just killing intent .
I donât think this bird head is any way weaker than that minotaur .
Itâs certainly strong .
Probably all the monsters in this level areâ
Brutal enough to kill all those strong people who were disposed .
I thought Iâm out of my previous predicament .
But,
Hereâs a second predicament .
Everyone would have died .
The sent heroes and warriors .
They must have been killed .
By the monsters of this ruins .
Losing in the end .
Strong as you may be .
Even if you somehow kill one of them .
Another one is coming .
Thereâs many of them .
Youâd be exhausted in the end and use up all your strength .
Your physical strength .
Your willpower .
I donât like this .
I donât want to die,
I donât want to die,
I donât want to die .
I unconsciously raised my arms again .
Itâs like feeling on depending to a wish .
[ââ]
Miracles, you see...
Theyâre called miracles because theyâre...
Miracles .
No matter the circumstances, they wonât occur twiceâ
[Gggooooâ ppiiiiâ ggggii...]
I opened my eyes .
[Eh?]
My mouth opened wide .
[It worked...?]
Is it unable to move?
It looks like the bird head is sweating somehow .
Itâs desperately trying to move .
However, it canât move for some reason .
Thatâs how I think .
It worked?
The miracle worked twice?
The endowment?
The paralysis .
Praying that the stopped four donât 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,
I run .
With all of my strength .
At that time, a hypothesis came to my mind .
Itâs like a revelation .
Thereâs no way, I thought .
But I thought .
Miracles are miracles because they rarely happen .
If it happened twice in a row, people will not call it a miracle .
For example,
If the success of the two skills are not a miracleâ
Then is it a certainty?
The unique skills of Mimori Touka .
Abnormal State Endowment .
It succeeded twice .
To the monsters in this ruins .
Minotaur wonât be able to chase me .
The bird head also wonât be able to chase me .
For example,
Supposing,
Supposing, for exampleâ
If this worldâs 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 .
[If so, then...]
Looking back behind towards the bird head .
[I may survive in this ruins . ]
