Chapter 131


Chapter 131 Strongest, Kept at a Distance


" . . . I don"t see a strong monster at all . "


It has been some time since we departed for Melkia .


We should be in this Chikirisbia Forest already according to the map, but I don"t see any strong monster .


They might be stronger compared to the ones in an average plain, but they"re at a level where we don"t even need to fight seriously .


"Maybe we"re not in that forest yet?"


"But the map says that the forest should be here . "


I replied Iris .


We should be traveling on the right direction too .

There"s no mistake about it since I"ve been using magic to check direction through magnetism and stars in the sky while we"re moving .


"Uun . They say that you"d reach Chikirisbia Forest after a little while if you go straight . . . . But I don"t see any monster like in the story . . . . "


"The atmosphere does get more authentic as we dive deep into the forest though!"


We"re advancing through the forest while talking as such .


I noticed a strange reaction caught in the 『Pa.s.sive Detection』 along the way .


No, strange might not be exactly correct .


This is a type I was used to in my past life although I haven"t encountered it much after reincarnating .


" . . . You three, wait here a bit . I"ll return real quick . "



I run into the forest after saying that .


While erasing my presence and mana reaction .


Heading toward the reaction earlier by relying on 『Pa.s.sive Detection』 .


And there I found--a several meter tall huge ape .


"Ki!?"


When it saw me, the ape monster was going to attack me while looking like it was panicking .


But it"s slow .


Before the ape could swing down its claw, I stepped in and cut its neck off .


Afterward .


" . . . . Is this the intelligent monster in question?"


I went back to where Ruli and the others were, put the ape monster on the ground and asked them .


Seeing that, Ruli shouts out with a surprised look .


"That"s . . . That"s a Wizm Monkey isn"t it!"


" . . . Wizm Monkey?"


"Yes! It"s the strongest one among intelligent monsters that dwell in Chikirisbia Forest! It leads the monsters in the area--don"t tell me you defeated it?!"


. . . I see . So that"s what"s going on huh .


I thought the monster could talk like Iris when I heard intelligent monster term . . . Looks like it"s a miss .


"Yeah I beat it . And I know why the monsters didn"t show themselves up . "


"Show themselves up?"


"Yeah . They"re . . . . avoiding us . "
