CH 73

“Not again!”

As I dodged Desert Cow, who was rushing at me from the darkness, I struck it once more in the neck.

Although fresh blood began to splatter, Desert Cow charges again. Without any thought, it disappears into the darkness again.

It may not have gone in as deep as it should have, perhaps because it pulled back quickly to prevent the spear from being taken when it charges.

“There is no end to this.”

What to do? Do I keep stabbing while avoiding it as it is? On the other hand, do I go for it head-on and hit him in the head? Or do I go for the legs? What should I do?

In a blink of an eye, I remembered the first time I fought an El Sheep.

That time, I’m pretty sure I hit the charging El Sheep with a [Light Ball] as hard as I could and blew it away. It was the same D-rank monster, so it might work this time, too.

“Okay! Let’s give it a try.”

I concentrated my mind and started chanting my spell.

“Light, shoot down my enemy…”

Magic power flowed through my body and gathered in my right hand.

But I still didn’t shoot. Concentrating, I wait for Desert Cow to come out of the darkness.

I hear the sound of hooves scratching the cobblestones in the darkness ahead of me, and then the footfalls of Desert Cow approach again.

The footsteps get louder and louder, and as soon as I can see Desert Cow in the darkness, I utter a single, commanding word.

“[Light Ball]!”

At that moment, the magic power that had gathered in my right hand shot out as a ball of light, hitting Desert Cow in the brain and it exploded with a bang.

“Mmooo!?” (Desert Cow)

The Desert Cow, which had been rushing forward with its head down, turned halfway around its head as if it were doing a backflip, and was slammed into the ground from the back.

For a moment, I was fascinated by the beautiful acrobatic flight, but I managed to bring my focus back to reality, running towards Desert Cow, I stab my spear into its throat.

“Oh my god!”

As I do it, I forcefully moved my spear and tried to cut off its neck.

Fresh blood spurted out and dyed the whole area red.

After a while, the four legs of the Desert Cow that was moving slowed down and finally stopped moving.

After pulling out the spear and waiting for a while, Desert Cow’s body slowly disappeared into the dungeon. And the blood of the Desert Cow that was scattered all over the area disappears. Of course, the blood on me disappeared as if it melted in the air.

“How strange…”

When I was thinking about it, I found a magic stone and a mysterious object on the spot where Desert Cow had fallen.

The mysterious object was flesh-like in color and texture, and pink in color. It’s a pinkish color and the texture is like meat, and the size of the object is a small oval-shaped something about 50 centimeters long on one side.

“…What this?”

I picked up the magic stone and took a closer look at it.

A big hot water bottle? No, a big leech? A big beef tongue? …Did cows have internal organs like this?

I don’t know, because I’ve never seen all the organs of a cow in the flesh…

I’m not sure, so I’ll poke it with my spear tip.

Then, it undulated like there was water inside.

“Wow… it feels a little creepy… what is this…”

I’m not sure if it’s a big hot water bottle or a big water pillow.

It seems to be a Desert Cow drop item, so do I want to bring it home? Maybe it’s a rare drop and it might be a very valuable thing… But do I put this in my backpack? I don’t like it, though just a bit. Rather, I don’t even want to touch it.

I had a brief brainstorming session, but the opinion that I didn’t even want to touch it was adopted, and I decided to leave it there and go away.

“…But I want to see what this is…”

With that in mind, I stabbed this object with the tip of my spear and cut it open.

A white liquid splashed out for a moment, and then a cloudy liquid spilled out, dyeing the floor of the dungeon white.

“…”

A cloudy liquid that spreads all over the area, had an indescribable scent.

I was in a daze for a while because of the nostalgic smell, but I had achieved my goal and decided to move on.

I turned on my heel and started walking.

“[Purification]”

And as I walked, I activated [Purification] and cleaned up the white cloudy liquid that was splattered on the tip of my spear.

Anyway, it was…

“Milk…”

It was only after I left the dungeon that I learned that the object was called Desert Cow’s Milk Sack.
