Volume 2 - CH 11

Chapter 2-11. Hunting

I was doing something quite far from my house.

I think this area is good?

[Swamp Camo]!

Aaaand there ~ [Water Trap]!

I want to evolve again at once.

Up until now, I've been working hard to earn experience points through combat, but I've also gained another trap skills.

If I let it sit for a while, the prey will be caught on it's own, so there is no way I won't abuse this skill.

I don't get any battle experience points from doing this, it's not like I don't want to ... but, there are no enemies around here that are on par or stronger than me.

However, when I tried to expand the haze as much as possible using [Haze Manipulation], I found that there were a tremendous amount of creatures.

As expected of the power of nature.

The forests wich is rich in nature continue to increase whatever the lifeform inside it ... wonderful.

I mean, the trunk of the tree is also insanely thick.

How many years is this tree to have such a thick trunk?

If there was such a tree in Japan, it would definitely potrayed as sacred tree.

The ammount of tree like this is uncountable.

It seems that a temple will be built only with the trees here.

By the way, I don't know the construction method in this world.

I've never seen a village or town, so I can't help it ... Wouldn't they use wood as the main material?

I would use it no matter what. Because it's easy to process.

Some Western buildings use wood, and if civilization had progressed to some extent, it would definitely be used.

Well, don't you think that I would come to such a place to get a tree in the first place?

When I come, I'll blow it away!

I'm sorry that I'm going to destroy your home!

Ah, my [Water Trap].

TL Note : This entire paragraph is just random shit in MC's head. I don't get it either.

Now that I've set up the traps, I hide in the mud.

Because my body is all white, it stands out when I hide normally.

I think this is a good place to hide, with 'soil transformation' can turn the soil into mud and I can hide in a second.

Then, deploy the haze in the place where the trap is installed.

Since it was possible to install it not only in the surrounding area but also in a distant place, it is possible to detect whether the prey was caught or not.

Haze Manipulation is too convenient.

It makes me looks like a diety who offered the prey as offering in a small shrine.

Nope, no way in shell I will build a shrine of my own!

For the time being, I'd like to keep doing this because I didn't see any problem with it.

Otherwise I can't secure the food for myself.

Once I get one as a bait, bite it off and leave it in a trap.

Then the smell will catch their attention and my prey will come to my trap.

I don't know much about hunting, but there must be many odor-sensitive creatures in this world.

There is no problem as long as they are attracted by the smell.

It's a trap that doesn't need to be taken care off.

Alright then ... Should I wait for some minutes?

◆

―Five hours later―

Bull crap.

I wonder why not even one caught in my trap yet.

There are 20 traps that I have set up ... but I never thought that not even one trap chaught any prey ...

Dang it ~ if it come to this, it would have been faster to look for it like the usual.

Is it wrong to look for prey in the morning?

I wonder if I should have ambush them at night because there are many nocturnal creatures around here ...

It may be strange to just wait and keep watch the trap.

Should I leave it alone?

If I sleep and then wake up, it may caught something!

Yeah, I'll check the trap tomorrow morning.

Get out of the swamp and release the haze.

I head in the opposite direction of the trap and the place where it was installed.

Let's go to the opposite side and look for prey.

I expand the Haze Manipulation and search for prey.

I realized something by activating it, but it seems that there is really no prey around. What theck did I just waste my precious 5 hours for ...

[You developed a new resistance]

……?

===============

-Distraction-

Resist the effect of distraction.

===============

Uh, what in the flying duck is this!?

Do I need this kind of resistance!?

Well, I'm grateful for it because it's resistant skill!

What is the skill that requires this resistance ... I don't know.*(Mind related skill maybe? Like saimin- neveremind)

Well, ok ... then, I'll resume hunting.

◆

―Twenty minutes later―

Bhaaaaaam!

"Squeaaaak !!"

The water blade and the leaf blade clashed for many times.

Three water blade are activated and operated at the same time, but it is difficult to kill this enemy.

I'm fighting with a water blade because I want to improve my skill level with a water blade, but my opponent is fighting with a skill called a leaf blade, and it's skill is almost on par with me, who is sloppy.

The opponent is a creature that looks like a flying squirrel, and its name seems to be Tobachiri.

Although it looks like a flying squirrel, it seems that it cannot fly, but its movement speed is unusually fast, and it is difficult to catch it with my blade attack.

I was able to attack it one-sided until earlier, when it realized that my water blade wasn't about attack speed, Tobachiri started to attack me while running around.

The skill level of the Tobachiri leaf blade seems to be quite high, and he cut the trunk of the tree like a medium rare steak.

I can only cut branches! For now!

Occasionally I had to fight in close range, so I summon one blade close to my body and used it for defense.

And summon the other two will be used to pursue the Tobachiri.

"Squeak!"

It suddenly changed direction from sprinting and turned it's body toward me.

The two water swords are blocked by the three leaf blade and it blown away.

That leaf-style blade seems to be able to be activated anytime and anywhere as long there are leaves near the user.

The MP consumption should be very low because it uses the material that already exist then use it.

Moreover, the more troublesome thing is the speed to create the leaf blade is very fast.

Is this the difference between our skill level?

Tobachiri turned it's hair upside down and cried "Squiqueeack!".

Then the surrounding leaves come toward me like a bullet.

Since the leaves are flying from all directions, it is not possible to handle the bullet with just one water sword.

I use soil transformation to turn the soil below me into swamps and hide myself.

I don't know if the diving duration is inherited from the water snake, but I can continue to dive for more than enough.

The blade of the leaf could not reach this far.

That is what I thought.

Ouchouchouch that's fishking hurts!

A few leaves penetrate the swamp and able to injure my body.

Immediately change the soil in front of me to a swamp and I tried to move there.

When I checked it with the haze, it seems that the leaves were lifted high in the sky and swoop down vigorously.

Dam brick. I can't fly but, let me show it something.

For the time being, if I don't reduce that mobility, I won't be able to hit my attack.

I wanted to fight with a water blade, but ... It can't be helped anymore!

It's about time to get serious! "Multiple water spear"!

Make a mud spear using the water of the swamp.

The strength of infinite water control is that I can control any liquid form!

It has some soil, but don't worry!

I should think about that later!

This time I made three spears.

Launch it toward Tobachiri at a tremendous speed.

However, Tobachiri, who moves fast, sees everything and didn't foresee any danger.

Imma outsmarting you while you think you outsmarting me.

"Squeeek!?"

Suddenly I got a hit on Tobachiri's leg.

It drops only the toes of the hind legs.

It's a small scratch, but it should have made it harder to step on with it's hind legs.

It seems that it doesn't understand why it wounded even though the spear didn't hit it.

Alright, task completed, to the next task! Over!

In fact, I put a thread on at the handle of my spears!

It doesn't have much attack power, but it can be easily scratched by wrapping it around and pulling it by making it stronger and thinner!

Now the voice of heaven!

This is the time to established as a new skill!

I'll call it!

[Linked Water Spear]!

How is it! ??

......

…………

………………

Damniiiiiiiitt!

What is the system recruitment to recognize my effort as a skill?

"Duh, I don't think you are possible to make this move as a skill" like, come on man, I put so much effort on this one!

Whalepoop!

I thinking that how fool am I when I think about it seriously!

This- this buggy-(!*&^@#%!

As I glare at the Tobachiri.

I shook my body and shrank, but now ... Unfortunately for it that I really want to pent up my anger for a moment.

Activate the multiple water spear.

The number is thirty.

I made a spear to assault at the immovable Tobachiri with all my might.

It goes without saying that a small scream echoed in the forest.
