Volume 2 - CH 8

Chapter 2-8. Invisible Enemy

Since that, I was sleeping on the moss.

I woke up in the morning even though I slept in the evening because it was so comfortable to be able to sleep.

Moss is the best.

I will cultivate moss when I become a human being.

By the way, I haven't decided what to when I become a human being.

I was thinking of becoming a human being to enjoy this world, but ... I haven't decided where to live, and I don't know anything about the currency in this world.

It's probably not Japanese Yen.

When I think about it, there are many things that I don't understand.

I know that people are exist ...

Otherwise, the word royality or human would not appear in the race description.

If the "Royal Family" exist, it seems the hirarcial policy is estabilished here.

It means the nobles are exist.

Doesn't that mean slavery is exist as well?

As someone who came from the pacifist country like japan, I don't really want to see that scenery.

If I see such a scene, I might go to help ...

In any case, I should think that I cannot live as human without knowing how this world works.

Let's gather information slowly by identifying the race and species with the voice of heaven.

By the way, a while ago, I asked the voice of heaven about humans and royalty, but it didn't answer me.

It doesn't seems want to explain unless I actually see the target myself.

Though it identify itself as dictionary.

By the way, my body has grown considerably since I became a water snake.

At this rate, I'm likely to get bigger and become a giant snake.

If that the case, there is a possibility that the house I live in now will not be enough.

After evolving for some times, it seems better to consider moving out from here...

Let's suppose that I start thinking about moving after- at least race change other than the water related species.

Before that happens, I must find a good place beforehand.

I woke up and moved to find a better location.

This time, instead of climbing the top of the waterfall, I left the house and went straight on the flat road.

This area was where I fought that bird before.

At that time, I tried to use luminous and failed.

I still don't understand why I forgot that I couldn't use it at night.

That was really an unfortunate things at that time.

I went further.

Though it looks like I didn't get attacked, but I shouldn't underestimate that, I may be ambushed again, so I proceed with caution.

It was painful that I can only deal 40 damage as hard as I could with a single blow ... It was so hard to pull out that claw.

When I checked it, I found that it's claw had reached my bone completely and I could see the bone from the wound.

I'm really glad it wasn't my chest.

My lungs might have been crushed if it target my chest.

The lungs of the snake are small because the lungs on the left side are degenerated.

Instead, the lungs on the right side are very elongated.

Probably, maybe the other way around, but ... I've only seen it in some books, so I don't know the details.

I don't think I'll be able to fight for a long time if my lungs are hit by the stone.

If I have to fight something again, focus on protecting my upper body.

Rustle rustle rustle…….

As I proceeded, I seemed to come to a place where a lot of tall grass was growing.

My eyes are almost the same level as the ground, so the grass alone looks big like a tree.

Actually it's smaller than me ...

Well yeah ... But I can't see as my vision is restricted.

My visibility was very poor because the grass was growing without any gaps.

Better yet, I wonder if I'll mow all this area ... I also want grass to lay in my house.

But where the grass here is a little thin ... it doesn't seem to be durable.

It's going to get damaged soon, so let's stop.

Fwuuush.

Something passed over my body.

When I tried to see what it was, the surrounding grass began to fall.

It's a very light grass, so it doesn't hurt if it hits my body, but my visibility geting worse.

W-w-w-what is that?! 

I wake up my body that buried in the grass in a hurry.

When I checked the surroundings, the place where I was was a trace that was cut with a mower.

It seems that my body wasn't scratched because I left a few tens of centimeters of grass from the ground.

That was close! What the hell was that?!

Where are you!? What kind of attack was that targetting me!?

I tried to find it, but I couldn't catch the enemy because my poor visibility.

The problem is that I raised my body, so I may have notify the other party that the attack did not hit.

Because I was impatient, my reasoninng was a little havoc ...

The enemy must have realized that I was a snake.

Of course it know because he is the one who attacking me.

For the time being, there is no doubt that my whereabouts have been revealed.

If I don't move, my opponent will attack again.

I immediately bend down and move.

[Water Shield], [Water Trap].

I activated the water shield while moving.

By the way, I also activated some water traps in the place where I was before. If it chase after me, it will get caught in my trap.

Probably.

As I explained before, the water shield is divided into five parts and floats around.

The water shield is also squeezing through the grass, so the sound may reveal my whereabouts, but ... I've never used it in actual battles, so I wanted to try it.

I'm counting on you for the time being, water shield.

I move to a place a further away and hide myself.

Water trap has not yet been triggered.

I wonder what it chasing after ...

Fwuuush. Bash!

!! ?? This sound was what passing after me before!

I noticed that my reaction was slow, and one of the water shields guarded the attack and popped off before I saw the attack.

The auto-activated skill was useful ... Thank you water shield.

Apparently, the water shield automatically prevents the attack, but it may be possible to prevent the attack only once for one shield.

Deep checking it may be necessary as it may vary depending on the strength of the attack, but now it turns out that the water shield alone can prevent the enemy's attack.

It will be a good result.

However, the position of the enemy cannot be grasped.

The current attack seems to have been attacking from the right side, but no enemy is found.

The grass has been cut cleanly, but ...

I had a water trap in place, so I wouldn't be followed.

Because I installed a wide range of water traps.

Then ... maybe the other party has a sensing skills.

This is awkward ... I don't even know the opponent's attack at all.

I got attacked twie, but I can't even see it once.

When I place another trap it, I can hear a rushing sound, but ... I don't know what was that.

Wait a minute? Isn't this pretty bad?
