Chapter 19


The instinctual impulse asa living thing


I went back to the place where I was first transferred .


That skull earlier is the only thing I found right after transferring .


I was then assaulted by the minotaur when I was found by it .


I didn’t have the time to explore back then .


The property of the heroes and warriors who were disposed .


[It would be great if there’s anything useful…]


Of course I had never let down of my guard .


Now is the time to be the most cautious .


There may be surprise attacks that may come from out of my sight .


Now, I only have my guts and reflexes to rely on to .


If I were late on using the abnormal state skill,


There’s a chance that I’ll die from a single blow from a monster .


The monsters of the disposal ruins are probably super powerful to have as enemies . I don’t think I’d beat them even if I tried .


Heck, some of the others who got here may be A-Rank heroes .


It’s obvious I can’t oppose this monster with my status .


My only countermeasure against them is my personal skills .


Literally, “whoever strikes first wins” is the key strategy .


At any rate, don’t get hit even by a single blow from a monster .


That’s what I should definitely focus on for now .


Putting my thoughts together, I finally arrived at my destination .


I raised my glowing leather bag filled with magic energy .


It seems to me that it’s more dangerous to be hidden in the darkness now .


It’s also difficult to keep track of directions in the dark .


Well, there’s still danger if the enemy had projectile weapons on them .


[But it’s not like I can do much about it…]


There were some human bones partially melted with acid .


It was probably done by that minotaur .


There were also some weapons that were dropped .


However, almost everything were half-melted with acid .


Even if I have it, it seems it would only be useless baggage .


[The only ones I can use are these ones, huh…]


A black cloak once worn by a skeleton .


And an old dagger .


The cave have been getting a little colder .


Should I were this mantle?


Basa ~tsu


I wear the cloak around my body .


It’s getting a little warmer .


The dagger is now covered in a leather sheath .


At first, I thought it would be to dull to use .


However, it was still usable after checking its blade .


I put the dagger inside the leather bag .


My left hand has to have an easy access towards the leather bag .


My empty right hand is especially for my skills .


This hand is the one who turns towards the target .


It feels like I can’t lock on without doing that…


My priority is for using the skills over wielding weapons .


I don’t think this dagger can ever hurt the monsters in here .


I think it’s their defense status .


The hardness of the skin when I had chopped the birdhead with an axe is quite traumatic .


I look at the transfer location .


A magic circle is engraved in here .


[This magic circle… well, I can’t really use it . ]


Only that sh*tty goddess can use this .


Otherwise, there is no point in sending anyone here .

[……… . ]


Those fellows in 2-C, I wonder what they’re doing now .


No…


I shouldn’t think about them now .


I’m sure that I am the most at risk in losing my life .


First of all, my first priority is to find a clue on how to escape to above ground .


I resumed the exploration of this cave .


For a moment, I’ve returned to the place where I had fought hard .


Of course, the mountain of corpses there still remained unchanged .


[Now that I look at it again, It’s become quite a number huh…]


The feeling that I had done this myself is quite weak .


I looked at the way the birdheads had fled to .


[I guess I’ll go this way . ]


v


I kept walking until I came upon a wide, open space .


It’s so wide that my leather bag’s light doesn’t reach it’s walls .


I look up .


The ceiling is really high .


There are those pointed rocks that are protruding from above like those you can find in a limestone cave .


Gyu ruru~


Gu ~u


Uh…


Just as I thought .


I’m feeling it earlier but its quite subtle .


Hunger .


I haven’t eaten anything even before I got on the bus .


As a matter of fact, I’m getting thirsty .


All I’ve been doing earlier is running away from these monsters with all my might .


I’ve also sweated a lot in that deadly battle with the monsters .


I’ve lost a lot of water of fluids within my body,


I’ve yet checked if I had any water with me before I’ve arrived here .


I haven’t been able to confirm it so far .


The problem that I’m facing now following the threats of the monsters .


Water and food .


The crisis with the monsters is solved, and now a simple yet serious problem arose .


[…For the meantime, should I move on further?]


There may be something that the monsters use as food and water .


I began to walk again through the dark space .


v


I kept walking in a landscape that doesn’t look like it’s changing .


In the meantime, I found a place that will likely be going to the upper area .


When I went there, I was greeted by the same scenery again .


[………]


Time passed without me noticing .


No– what actually happened?


I feel like I had been walking in this path for a very long time .


But it may not be a lot of time at all .


I can’t see the sun shine while inside this… cave .


It’s just simply- darkness .


I’m not wearing a watch .


My sense of time had been disrupted .


Gyururu ruru~


Ki ~yu ~u ~u ~u~~


[Haa… haa…]


I understand…


Even if my level goes up .


Even with the status correction .


I will still get hungry .


I will still get thirsty .


I’m starving .


No, more than that…


I have to quench my thirst first .


[Haa… Ha~a…]


The soles of my shoes are getting worn out .


My nerves are getting worn out .


Still, I have to make sure that I am able to activate my skills immediately .


I don’t know when the monsters will suddenly pop out .


I must always have even an ounce of awareness for my surrounding .


I walk .


Is there something else to do?


I walk,


and I walk .


Nothing .


I continue walking,


walking,


and keep walking .


There’s really nothing .


rock .


rock, rock .


rock, rock, rock .


rock, rock, rock, rock .


rock, rock, rock, rock, rock .


My everything collapsed .


What’s a rock?


Is it the rocks from mountains and stones?


Huh?


Mountain?


What’s that again?


It’s underground here…


This is not a mountain .


[………… . ]


I have to do something .


I’m extremely hungry .


I’m extremely thirsty .


Does it have to be this harsh?


I don’t even see any monster anymore .


When I encounter them…


Kill .


Food .


Meat .


Anything is fine .


Someone, please give me food .


[Ah, right…]


A sudden thought came in my mind .


Those monster corpses I killed in the bottom layer .


[They may be edible…]


Is it because of thirst?


I spoke my thoughts with my hoarse voice .


I turned back there .


That’s because I have a bad feeling about that plain, deserted area .


There may be nothing but a deserted land further .


On the other hand, here’s a place where there’s certainly some food .


The corpse of the monsters .


Now that I know, I should go .


The minotaur is– beef .


The birdhead is– chicken meat .


I should go .


It should be possible .


After some time, I finally returned to that place .


To the place where there are filled with a great deal of monster corpses .


I feel like I can no longer sweat .


Water… .


Blood?


Should I drink blood??


I take out my dagger .


I held it in a reverse grip .


But my hand stops .


[Speaking of which, didn’t these guys…]


Didn’t they die from poison?


Are they even edible?


No .


The poison skill may have been gone already .


The corpses are not purple .


It’s not that I’m excited .


But I should eat if I can do it .


I ought to eat it…


Eat it, me…


I reached out in my leather bag .


My left hand is now for using skills .


I can exert more power with my right hand .


Minotaur meat…


I mustered my strength to the handle in my grasp .


The skin is too had for the blade to pass .


Even after dying, the feeling of hardness still remains .


If so, there’s a part in the head that can be drilled to .


From there, I attack!


Guri ~tsu


I gouged out its eyes .


Alright .


I can do this .


[…… . . ]


I peeked into the eye socket .


Will it flow smoothly from here?


Can I do this?


Getting it’s insides from here…


It’s uncomfortable– but it’s not the time to be uncomfortable .


I would die .


I have to eat something .


I have to drink something .


Okay .


First, push the blade deep within the socket of the eye–

Ju~u ~tsu!


[Uuwaahh!!!?]


I hurriedly let go of the corpse .


Acid .


It’s no good!


It’s insides is full of acid!


[———-]


The cow’s eyeball is lying on the ground .


Could I eat it?


This thing?


……… . .


I’m dying .


I have to eat .


I slowly bit out of it’s outer cover .


Gabu ~tsu!


Ju ~uuuu!


[Buwaahhh! Pweehhh!! Ahhaahhh!]


There’s acid even it’s eyeball!


[Pweehh! Pweehh! Geho~! Geho!] (T/N: sound of coughing,)


Are these like the acids in their body fluids?


It’s harmless to them .


But harmful to other organisms .


I wiped my mouth with the sleeves of my uniform .


Even inside my mouth…


The cloth melts somewhat, but it can’t be helped .


[… . . fuuu…]


I’m glad I didn’t immediately swallow it .


Vomiting it immediately was correct .


My tongue is still tingling .


But fortunately, the damage to my mouth is quite minimal .


Surprisingly, my may have been at work .


I look at the bird head .


[………]


I also tried eating the birdhead .


The result was the same .


It’s not something edible .


Well, if you think about it .


This is a place where those who are wanted dead are sent .


When the monsters in the transfer destination can be used as food, it will be like easy mode .


There is no way to eat the meat of the monsters in this ruins .


There is no way to drink the blood of the monsters in this ruins .


There’s no way to do it .


If you are really intent to kill,


There is no reason to send him to a place where there are edible monsters .


There is no reason to send him to a place where there is a source of water .


Those who are sent here will, obviously, not be teleported with water or food .


It’s indeed the simplest problem, but the problem of survival is essential for a living thing .


[A disposal ruins with zero survival rate…]


Even if the heroes sent in here were stronger than the minotaurs and the birdheads–


[Damn it… this ruins are thorough enough to kill the heroes…]


You’d still die .


Because of starvation .
