Lesson 31: The Crystal Rhinoceros Nest

Three boys students. They were coming into the woods in search of crystals that had been obtained in the woods the day before.

And as I remember, I could come back to where I got the crystal the day before.

There are crystal fragments dropping there and I will gladly pick them up.

When I finished picking up all the crystals that had fallen to where I remembered them, Karen, who pulled them off, said, "Let's get more" and so on.

The crystal fragments had fallen to follow in the back.

Moving on, a chunk of crystal was placed ahead.

If I can sell this many crystals, I can play and live for a few years.

"Let's pick it up"

The four blinded by the crystal reach out to pick up the crystal in a hurry.

But just before my hand touched the crystal, I heard the ground.

Stop your hand and raise your face.

There was a rhino with a gray body.

Except it's not a regular rhino - it's a demonic rhino. As much as that, even boys and students unfamiliar with demons had enough features on their backs to tell.

The demon had a number of crystal thorns growing on his back. Moreover, its size is such that children like boys students are likely to be covered. Obviously not a regular rhino.

Crystal Rhinos progresses toward his territory - the person who entered the nest.

"I'm getting away with it...!

I pick up some crystal fragments that Karen was falling at my feet and then I run away.

The boys couldn't afford that.

The crystal that had fallen into Crystal Rhinos' nest had peeled off its own body over the years. Not worth a peeled off crystal to Crystal Rhinos.

But it was a demonic nest there.

For Crystal Rhinos, I couldn't forgive him for vandalizing his own nest.

There, it doesn't matter if you stole the crystal or not.

"Oh, they're coming..."

Boys students and Karen running desperately through the woods.

Looking back, I saw an angry crystal rhinos.

"Why are you so angry!

I don't know the properties of Crystal Rhinos. They're just confused by what they're after.

"Ah......!

One boy student has fallen.

In the woods it is easy for those who are unfamiliar to fall.

My attention to my feet was neglected, so I stuck it at the roots of the trees.

"" Doug!

Two male students stop on their feet as they call the names of the fallen male students.

But only Karen runs outside the woods without stopping her legs.

It was an act of abandoning the boys. All you have to do is run back to the village while the demons are attacking the boys students. No, I might even run away to the city like this.

A little wind rushes past her as she runs thinking about it.

In fact, it was just someone who could run faster than the average person's girlfriends.

"Mr. Jethro!

More voices echo the name of the person who ran through from where Karen was about to escape.

"No problem"

In an instant, a male student fallen by the hand of a runaway person is held and disappeared from the front of the crystal rhinos.

A few seconds later, Crystal Rhinos steps on where the boy student was falling. The ground stomped on was submerged, and if not held, Doug had become a gutter.

"Um, why are you here?

"Two of my friends told me that you were about to enter a dangerous forest. I'm glad we made it somehow at the critical place."

Adventurers who rushed to the rescue.

Moreover, the opponent showed us not only on his way to the village, but also in the woods, where he repeatedly defeated demons. Jethro.

But the look on Jethro's face, who rushed to the rescue, was harsh.

"... how to escape"

"Eh, aren't you going to knock him down?

"Me, then, I can't even scratch where I scratched my feet"

I knew about Crystal Rhinos' offense.

Crystal thorns on the back are not a substitute for being hurt by human force, the only place that can do damage is the belly. But hurting the belly of a walking demon on all fours is a tactic commonly known to cause a little damage by an explosion caused by magic or something before slashing the belly.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not bringing a wizard here right now."

There is also a wizard at Jethro's party.

But it's not necessarily that you can effectively attack Crystal Rhinos against your opponent where she was.

"Do we have to fight?"

Still, there was no way for Jethro to survive but for everyone - at least everyone except Karen.

Pull the students you had down to the ground and pull out the two swords and they will be slashed by Crystal Rhinos.

- Kin, Kin!

The attack, slashed from the front, was inhibited by a hard body and could not even be scratched.

Still slashing up his belly with his sword under his body as he lowered himself.

- Pakin!

Then I couldn't believe the sound I heard.

Soft, I should have slashed him with a sword that was supposed to hold his belly in his right hand, but the sword was crushed.

"What?"

I accidentally look at a broken sword.

It should have been a bespoke sword that I bought with the gold I had saved up to now, but it is shattered without a trace.

Crystal Rhinos waves his tail while he is so grumpy.

……

Protect yourself from the tail with your left hand, which remained aggressive.

However, the sword that should have been used for the defense is shattered and the body directly hit by the tail is blown wide back and slapped by the tree.

"Kaha!

You injured your gut when you were slapped. Spit blood out of your mouth.

"Ha ha, is this the guy with the difference between A-rank and C-rank strength..."

It had become natural and zero.

I was wrong.

Soft stomach is a tale of A-rank adventure-like strength.

It was Jethro who managed to reach C-rank, but didn't think he was strong enough to reach B-rank.

It's powerful enough to keep an eye on Alliance Masters that you can be a B-rank. And who can be A-ranked is one who has succeeded in achieving a great feat among the B-ranks.

If I don't have enough strength to be appreciated by the Alliance Master, I can't make a huge feat of it, etc.

Again, I was stuck with that fact.

"But..."

You can't give up.

There are also students nearby who are eligible for escort.

Above all, there's a woman I fell in love with, but there's no way she keeps exposing herself to something unusual.

"Can't I replace my life?"

Remove about 10 cm of cylinder, which is a trump card, from the pocket.

A huge explosion occurs the moment you pull the pin at the top of the barrel and hit the crystal rhinos.

I bought magic tools from the Magic Tools Store when I only went to Wangdu once before.

A magic tool that triggers an explosion that I bought as a trump card for when I needed a high-powered attack.

"Run!"

"But..."

"If he's the kind of guy who falls to this extent, he won't have a hard time!

I even used the trump card because of it, but there is a shadow shaking across the flame. No doubt Crystal Rhinos is alive.

Students flee to the village with Niefa.

Jethro also manages to get away from Crystal Rhinos while holding his chest down.

But I can't run long with a damaged body.

Plus, the students have a sense of mental oppression that they are being chased by demons, and their feet snap and consume more power than they need.

"... we're going to hide"

Jethro takes three students and Niefa to hide in the bush.

I wish I could stay hidden and spend Crystal Rhinos, but that wasn't going to happen either.

Crystal Rhinos slowly advances his legs toward where they are hiding.

Until earlier, I had made it a priority to end up with anger invaded by the nest, but I know my opponent can only escape and can't scratch one when he comes up to me, so I can afford to get close.

"... apparently you can't get away with it. I'll buy you some time here, so take the students and the teacher will run away."

…… What are you talking about? Mr. Jethro will run away with you!

I can't do that.

Push your painful body to get up.

Then I hear a voice from my feet.

"You're the adventurer who ran to rescue you. Then sacrifice it, but help us."

"What are you talking about, this guy?" Such gaze comes not only from Jethro, but also from the students.

"Hey, what..."

"Students are the only ones we've come to help. I'm not even going to help you with inviting your child into a dangerous forest."

"Shouldn't you rather be sacrificed as an adult?

Karen's attitude made me muddle up to Niefa.

If Karen hadn't asked me out in the first place, there wouldn't have been anything like a student going into the woods.
