Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 341 Just Consider It Dead
At this time, an hour had passed since we left the coastline.

We didn't encounter any monsters along the way, but as we entered the forest, the road became more muddy.

Except for Melna who was following at the end, everyone followed Os towards the direction of the light as if they were escaping.

Os rushed the most violently. This bald Northern Saint who behaved in a rather contradictory manner was in despair just a moment ago, but then when he was sure that there might be survivors on the island, he acted more anxious than anyone else.

Not far away, there was a faint flicker of fire on the mountain ridge.

"Quick! It's right there!!"

The mud pit splashed with water! Os ran too fast, and the adventurers had a hard time following him, and their bodies were scattered far behind.

At the edge of the crowd, two people were running wildly, and their steps did not even stop them from pulling each other.

"You're crazy! Lev! You're really crazy!"

"Yes, I am crazy!"

"You! You, you give up, Lev, I beg you, come home with me, don't let your sister's efforts go to waste, come home with me"

"."

"Are you really going to die? How dare you conceal the information that the Ghostly Secret Sword can break the Divine Strike Technique? You are obviously worried that your words will really make Mr. Allen hesitate! Aren't you afraid that he will kill you!?
Everything you did on the ship was risking your life! You even hid it from me, don't you trust me?"

Love turned to look at Clem, who was holding his hand tightly. Seeing that Love seemed to be disgusted with him for obstructing the other party, his face froze.

"I am doing this for your own good. If the other person wasn't Mr. Allen, you would have died long ago!"

"If you die, you will die."

“What?” Climb looked at Love in disbelief.

Lev looked at him seriously, "If Lord Allen really kills me along the way, it will be God's punishment for me to involve you regardless of my own safety.

This is really my own fault.”

Clem was speechless for a moment. Love shook Clem’s hand with a flickering look in his eyes, and suddenly changed the subject to Alan.

"Sir Allen, you are a good person.

Clem, you helped him and always shared his interests. You never did anything to harm him. When we came to the island on the boat, I saw clearly that he didn't care about the lives of others, but only paid attention to you and Melna.

The islands are dangerous, but he is strong. If I am not mistaken, his swordsmanship level is also above the king level.

If he really kills me, then he kills me!
Because, this means that you can follow him out of the island maze group safely. Although you didn't get any decent magic stones along the way, you can at least sell them for a few gold coins. With your frugality, it's enough for you to live for a while."

At this point, Loew paused, let go of Climb’s hand, and turned to look at the Purgatory Volcano in the distance.

“.This is what I envisioned.

But, unfortunately, he didn't kill me. So, I returned to the "main island" that I had been thinking about day and night.

I am very grateful to him, but I am afraid that I cannot repay his kindness with my ability, and Mr. Allen doesn't even bother me to repay him. Climb, I am grateful to you too, but judging from the result, I still dragged you into this after all.

I'm sorry I've caused you so much trouble."

Climb was speechless and could only stare at Love’s face, while the latter looked at the volcano in the distance.

The pupil light looks very 'distant'.

"Clem, I'm not asking you to forgive me. But you must stay close to Mr. Allen for the rest of the time. He will definitely save your life while he has time. No, that's not right, Clem! If you find the adventurers' gathering camp later, you should stay in the camp! Don't follow them. This is the safest way. Just wait for the result. This is the safest way."

Climb was stunned for a long time. He looked at the expression on Love's face as he looked at the Purgatory Volcano. The scar on Love's neck flashed into his field of vision, and his lips trembled constantly.

"Love.Love
Seris is dead. Your wife, my sister, she is dead."

"I know it's right in front of us. I can't forget it."

Climb’s eyes were hazy for a moment, as if he remembered his sister’s smile again. Anger burned in his eyes, but it quickly died out, and he growled through gritted teeth.

"I understand you want revenge! Loew! I understand you! Because I want it too!
But revenge at the risk of one's life is not what she wants to see! If you die this time, her efforts will be completely in vain! Do you understand? You understand! You know it better than anyone else!
What was my sister's last wish? She told you not to feel guilty! She was the only one who could cast the barrier! The range of the barrier was shrinking, and everyone died, leaving only the three of us."

The sound became smaller and smaller, turning into a whisper in the rain. Climb’s fists creaked as he raised his head and grabbed Lev’s sleeve, pulling him in front of his face.

"Leff, I can't let you go on like this. Either you kill me or come home with me!"

Lightning flashed through the rain, illuminating the two men's faces.

Love looked at the volcano in the distance and suddenly smiled, his eyes softened for some reason.

Turning around, it seemed like an illusion.

He moved closer to Clem's face and looked him straight in the eye.

"Where to go? To your home? Or to my shabby house? Or to my parents' graves to pay tribute to them?"

After he said this, Climb opened his mouth several times, but he instantly lost all his energy and became listless.

Seeing this, Loew casually slapped Climb's hand away and said, "Let's go. If Lord Allen catches up with us and sees you and me fighting again, it won't be a good thing for you. Hurry and separate from me."

As he spoke, Clem wanted to say something else, but just as he opened his mouth

What caught his eyes was Love's constricted pupils, and the latter reached out and pushed him out!

boom! !

The ground cracked and mud and water splashed everywhere! !
A bright red light was dragged out from the rain curtain in this corner of the forest. A red and brown demonic shadow that jumped up from the bottom suddenly tore the space between the two people!
Clem sat down in the rain.

With a thud, an arm fell on him, and blood spurted all over his face. Climb raised his head suddenly!

The fishy wind rolls up the mouthparts.

It's already in front of you!

Lightning flashed as well, and in the reflection of his eyes, inside the sticky pupa's mouth, which was more than one meter in diameter, were circles of fine and dense fangs, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, stirring a broken human arm, which was corroded by the scarlet mucus and was full of white flesh holes that revealed the bones.

At the critical moment of life and death, only one piece of information popped into Climb’s mind.

——B-rank monster, "Infernal Ghost Parasitic Worm"! A monster that should only be found in the Purgatory Volcano!
Damn! The maze is really expanding! Lev! Lev's hand is broken! I have to help him!

I have to
帮他
His thoughts raced, and a surge of heat surged through his waist! The fangs were right before his eyes! Climb reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist!
However, his hands were extremely slow.

The adrenaline at the moment of death pushes thinking speed and nerve reaction ability to the peak in more than ten years.

——The reward from the living creature's survival instinct is often just a "full meal" before death.

Clem really doesn't want to eat this last meal, he still wants to help Loew
Swish! ! !
The cold light of the sword pierced through the worm's entire mouthparts from the side of his face at a tricky angle, followed by a familiar "side cut" of the Water God's Style. The sound of the sword cutting flesh and blood rolled through the air, and the worm's entire mouthparts were removed!

With a loud crash, it hit the side of the pale-faced Climb.

Love pulled the blade out.

With one hand holding the sword, one could see scarlet flesh and white bone fragments where his arm was bitten, and blood was still gushing out.

As an adventurer, Climb instantly jumped up from the ground. He suppressed all the emotions that were rising up in his body, leaned against the broken arm of Loew, and drew his sword to be on guard.

The monster that suddenly attacked revealed its figure in the flashing red light.

——"Inferno Ghost Parasitic Worm", six meters long and one meter in diameter, the front and back ends of its cylindrical body are covered with brown wrinkled flesh, and there is a mouthpart at the end. Because the mouthpart on the right side was cut off by Lev, it is wriggling on the ground in pain, which is very disgusting.

In the middle part of its body, it was no longer flesh and blood. There were only two white bones similar to human tibias, about 50 centimeters long, connecting the flesh at the front and back ends together. The place where flesh and blood should have been was actually a transparent form like a ghost monster.

But the colors are different.

The "ghost" is gray like fog, while the "Inferno Ghost Parasitic Worm" in front of him is as bright red as magma.

Then why is the word "parasite" in the name?

because
Love and Clem didn't look at the threatening mouthparts, but instead stared at the location of the ghost without a physical body. Inside, pieces of red ghosts the size of shoulders were being gestated like embryos.

The shape is like a hideous and mutated monster.

Human-like eyes.

Fish body.

Insect head.

They were swimming slowly towards the location of the ghosts, looking back at Love and Clem. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but they actually felt that the ghosts were laughing.

It is so weird that it makes people feel scared. These are the mutated monsters hidden in the molten caves on the inner wall of the Purgatory Volcano.

Living on magic stones, occasionally eating meat and chewing human flesh.

The key to the crusade is to avoid attacking the middle part of the ghost, cut off the worm heads at both ends of the tail, and then bury the parasitic mother body on the spot.

Be careful not to attack the connecting bone in the middle during this process, otherwise the bone will break.
Crack! As Love and Clem stared at the worm, the fighting spirit from the hasty blow finally reached the middle of the worm, and the connecting bones broke with the movement. The worms inside crawled out of the worm's body one by one as if they had broken free from their shackles.

The act of climbing is just an illusion.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

To be precise, they 'swam' into the air.

Climb's voice trembled. "The worms before giving birth were originally C-class monsters, and the worms and ghost worms after giving birth were B-class monsters. Damn, they gave birth to these weird things again, Lev! Your arm is still bleeding! You need healing!"

Love used his fighting spirit to seal his blood vessels as much as possible, gritted his teeth and chopped off his torn and corroded arm with one blow, and forced back the worms that were ejected with one blow.

"What are you talking about! Seris can do it! Can you?"

"." Climb's hand lit up with a faint warm yellow light, and there was a faint golden electric light flickering inside. "I can't!! But you need treatment!!"

"Kill this thing first!! It's still the same old rules. I'll kill the worms, and you'll be responsible for forcing back the ghost fish worms! Seris will use a barrier." He was stunned when he said this.

The person is gone, but the habit remains.

Love suddenly roared.

"Ah!!!!" With one knife, he placed the worm's mouthparts on his knife, and the blade and the mouthparts rubbed and mixed together.

Lev opened his mouth and bit the wrinkled skin of the worm that slipped away after failing to hit him. He was actually fighting! He hung the worm that was bigger than his face in front of him, stretched out his hand and twisted the blade into the worm's stomach!
Crunch, crunch! ! Smelly mucus spurts everywhere! !
Clem wanted to stop his crazy behavior, but he had no time to say anything. He could only use the Divine Strike Technique in his hand to drive away the ghost fish and insects that were flying towards him.

Finally, after ten seconds of wrestling, there was a loud 'ss'!
Lev stabbed the worm's entire body with a knife, and threw the worm's body viciously at the ghost fish worms swimming beside the two people. Boom! The body fell to the ground.

But it passed through the illusory bodies of the monsters.

"whispering sound!"

Seeing that his face was corroded to the point where his teeth were exposed, Climb couldn’t bear to watch any longer, so he quickly pulled him back.

When he took two steps back, he plunged into a layer of transparent film.

They both turned their heads.

Behind them, Melna, who had caught up with the two of them and was gasping for breath, looked at the worm corpses on the ground in shock and horror.

He glanced at Love's mouth again.

He took another look at the worm corpses on the ground.

The voice was trembling.

"This, this, is this still edible?"

Clem:
Loew:.
The essential existence of ghost monsters is also linked to magic power, so the "magic barrier" is naturally useful.

Although the dozen or so fist-sized fish worms were extremely fast and could easily cause fatal injuries by biting a person directly, they were ultimately restricted by the magic power in their bodies. Their bite force was not strong enough to break through Melna's "magic barrier".

Even though they were very persistent, they still drifted away into the air after five minutes of continuous attack.

-

Puff, footsteps stepped over the mud puddle.

More than a dozen figures ran through the forest.

It was exactly Löw's group. Löw, who was walking in the front, was holding up a few finger-sized magic stones covered with red lines and impurities.

For lighting.

After they escaped from the attack just now, they also gathered a lot of adventurers along the way. Because of strength in numbers, they were fortunate enough to completely kill a "Flame Hell Ghost Parasitic Worm".

“Merna, where is Lord Allen? Why hasn’t he caught up with us yet?” Climb asked.

Next to him, Loew had a clearly visible scar on his face, and new skin had grown on the cut surface of his arm. While asking the question, he only glanced at Clem and focused his attention on the road ahead.

No, he didn't seem to be looking at the road.

It was the magic stone in his hand that emitted a bright red light.

These strands of red impurities from the magic stone of the ghost fish worm were climbing and wriggling on his eyeballs, as if they were alive.

Clem didn’t need to remind her again. Melna had already looked back many times in the past ten minutes. “I haven’t seen him for a long time. This shouldn’t be the case.”

The newest adventurer spoke with lingering fear. "I just separated from Boss Oss about a minute ago. He ran too fast and the monsters couldn't hold him back. He didn't care that his brothers died."

"That's it"

"."

Puff, pff.

The sound of treading water stopped, and the sound of splashing water sounded in front of the few people.

The few of them walked to a small river and stopped almost at the same time. Melna was still looking back and almost bumped into him, so she quickly turned her head back.

But he was stunned.

The mountain wind blew the rain curtain, and the strong fishy smell could not even be covered by the rain.

What comes into view is a sea of ​​red, covering the entire ridge opposite the stream.

On the other side of the river, Os's figure stood motionless in the red light and rain, with the corpse of the worm monster still hanging on his body.

The light came from the magic stone fragments that were shattered into debris on the ground. It did not stop under Oss, but spread forward like a magic stone carpet.

It illuminates the plowed ridges like a lingering, blood-thick sunset glow at the end of the day.

Twenty meters away, in the rain, a figure stood among the worm corpses that covered the ground.

The voice is as steady as ever.

"Os, take a head count."

Os, who arrived not long before the others, broke out of his daze and looked back at the adventurers standing behind him and on the side of the ridge.

"Fifteen. Two of our brothers died on the way. The rest are missing. Let me go look for them."

Alan looked into the eyes of the figure sitting on the ground in front of him, looking up at him.

Without even turning his head, he answered casually.

"Do not care."

"Just consider it as death."
