Levelmaker

It's been about two hours since I saw the skill description properly, hasn't it?

I was walking around wielding a wooden stick like that and the sword moves - SK2 went up in two stages.

You're really glad this is all you got.

So now I'm walking around shadowing my arms like that. I'm totally suspicious from around here...

As I followed the wheel trail as I shadowed, I reached a path that was well maintained for me.

Good, I'm relieved I got out of the woods for a second.

We need to stop shadowing, we might see people.

There's not a single demon so far.

I've been following that path for a while, but something came running from behind me.

Looking back, nothing had come of it yet, but I dare not, avoid it by the road.

About 10 seconds after that, three creatures like horses pulled a large luggage truck.

The carriage itself is ridden by a man with a whip. He must be your man.

I saw inside the carriage as this carriage passed by.

... the contents are a few girls. He was wearing a worn out cloth cut, and I don't know if he had a tattoo on his shoulder… but he had a black print on him anyway.

Besides, it kind of had animal ears on it...

Some kids had one ear cut off a thousand times.

Whatever, he's called a slave...?

All the girls there were mostly around teenagers - so... assuming they were slaves, I mean they would be...! Damn...... chest shit bad no.

I don't know how I can do this right now... All I could do was drop off the carriage.

You're helpless... me. You're really helpless. Where I was, two of my best friends died, and all I could do was regret it. Those siblings, too, flew away by such a different world.

God gave me special powers, and there's no way I can do anything.

..................... now we have to walk.

So again, I was walking for about 10 minutes.

Speaking of which, I'm cold. The color and temperature of the leaves. Is this autumn now?

After all, if that's the case, I don't know how soon we're gonna get to where one is, but don't just get cold with the school run.

Those kids earlier... aren't they cold dressed like that?

That's when I was thinking about it. Forward, I saw something… that was the carriage earlier. It's stopped at the side of the road for some reason.

What's going on?

I was curious, and when I ran to the source of that carriage, the person who was driving was getting out of the carriage and fighting something.

Seemed pretty clumsy.

I'll try to get closer to the carriage.

Almost, when I got to the back of the carriage, I had eyes with a looking child wearing dog ears in the carriage... but those eyes were like no light...

Yes... can we save these kids now?

No... but... that would create quite a few problems. It is visible that things will be worse than they are in the present situation.

Then... what can I do now?

... help those in need...?

Who's in trouble... is he?

But... save him who might be a slave trader. What's it gonna be? No, on second thought, that's my guess, actually, if those kids weren't slaves or something...

Besides, what happens if I ignore this carriage here and lose to the guy you're attacking?

And the kids who were in the luggage truck......

Then we need to help him.

I have come to the place where the man is fighting.

The opponent I was fighting...... something as tall as a child, with sharp ears and eyes on the red skin, with blades and sticks.

... If I remember correctly, it should be called Goblin.

Is that... six...?

"Shall I help?

I speak to him.

Then the man turned this way, waving his dagger. The face is less vicious than I thought.

"I don't know who it is, but it helps...!

If you look closely, your man may have stopped a few goblin moves like a magic formation.

I don't think I would be able to prevent something of a person type with as many as six people on my own if I were normal. I guess I'm using something.

I'm the closest I've ever been. Eyes on goblins.

I don't know if Judo moves work on this guy, and I don't know how strong he is.

Besides, they're not wearing clothes. But that doesn't mean... you can't throw it.

I threw goblins at my fishing hips.... first fight... but you're in good hands.

You've never seen Judo, and the other goblins seem freaked out.

I threw a few goblins in this gap.

One of them passed out because of a bad beating.

Oh, sure, if you make more attacks in that state, are you going to die?

I'll kick that goblin in the ass.

At the same time, my body warmed up. I feel it coming from the core. Was it also a change in status? Do you want to see it later?

After a while, your men and I finished defeating all the goblins. Even so, it is still difficult to defeat them with bare hands, and most of them stabbed them with your dagger.

"No, thanks."

"I just wanted to go through..."

"Really? But you're trying to get somewhere, aren't you? Thank you. I'll send you if you're going in the same direction. Honey, this carriage is going to Egdrasil Castle Town, right?

Will you send me...?

Should this place be sweet for words...? It's just a castle town, I'm sure it's a big city...

What are we gonna do?

You want me to send it to someone who might be a slave trader?

So if you have a weird pride, you can't move on. Do you want me to give you a lift?

"So can I ask for it?

"Yeah, well, get in next door."

I ride next to you, as they say.

____ The carriage moved out.
