Chapter 120 – Fruit of Innocence

The goblin shaman, despite its battered and weakened body, raised its shakujo. (TL Note: Shakujo is also known as the “pilgrim’s staff” or “bishop’s staff”, is an ancient and highly symbolic Buddhist item originating in India.)

[This land…..is…..the gate. My…power.]

We advanced to cut it down to settle the matter once and for all. But at the same time, the surrounding containers also broke down one after another.

[What's going on…..]

[It should have been dead, but….]

Along with the red solution, the corpses also sprawled on the floor. But then they started getting up despite with some struggle. Impossible, they should've been dead already.

At first I thought they were nightwalkers, but their eyes weren't crimson. And after some more quick observation when one lumbered their way to me, I noticed that their fangs hadn't grown longer.

But, those pained wailings. Just like beast…..no, it's more like that of a monster.

Something weird happened to them soon after.

Aaron shouted, peeling off the dead man from me.

[Fate, let them go! They are no longer human]

[Are you kidding me…]

The men were rapidly changing painfully. This….I'd seen this before.

The collapse phenomenon.

I could still clearly remember it. How Hado and Rafal turned into something else――something that no longer a human.

According to Greed, it happened when someone lost their mind and humanity upon reaching Area E.

They would bee unintelligent creatures who only knew how to rampage.

Their attacks might be simple. But they are still belonged to Area E. It's not something that Roxy's body can handle.

I can only rely on Aaron. However, there were more than twenty of them here.

[Aaron, what about their stats?]

I asked Aaron to check the newly emerging opponent, as he's the only one among the two of us with appraisal skill. I just want to know how strong these guys are after reaching Area E.

[Umu, these monster-like people are called Ogres. Their stats are pretty much that of the early Area E. The goblin shaman at the back is not yet Area E but very near to it. We should try to finish it off without attracting the ogres.]

[Yes]

The ogres were twice as large as Aaron was. Its strong body has abnormally developed muscle. If a person was grabbed by these monstrousity, their body would be easily crushed by those hands.

In this situation…..I really had no idea what I should do. But, at least I know which enemy I should deal with.

Since they've just awoken, we could attempt to run through them before they are aware of us. But things won't go that smoothly for sure.

When the goblin shaman shouted, the ogres also moved out as though they're grunts. Perhaps it has used some kind of magic to control them.

One of the ogres jumped at me. Its hand attempting to crush me into bloody pulp.

[Fate!]

Aaron managed to pull me away at the last second, saving me from that attack.

[Uuooooooooooo]

He didn't stop there though. Without stopping, he stepped in and drove his holy sword to the ogre's head.

[Its' power is immense, but the attack is easy to read. Even orcs can use their heads better.]

Apparently twenty was more than the goblin shaman could handle given its current situation. As Aaron pointed out, the ogres' movement is rather dull and readable.

[Still a surprising art there. It is really an eye opener for me.]

No matter what, the ogres are only at the early Area E. They are no match for Aaron who had bee even stronger after the battle against Rafal.

The goblin shaman lost its' previously smug face. It clearly had underestimated Aaron's power. Annoyed, it bared its yellow teeth as it said

[Why……there… is…always…..something…..getting…. in…..the way…of my…research]

After Aaron defeated the third ogre, he stopped. His face turned grave as he looked at his holy sword.

He should've been on the dominant side, but he still backed down. The reason being, his sword was deteriorating

[Kuh, the holy sword is eroded.]

The holy sword was fcomed from rare ore mined from Gallia called Orichalcum. It's strong and could withstand the strong acid of slime's body fluid.

However, even after raising the sword power further by activation canceling 《Grand Cross》, it's still melting regardless. There must be something in the ogre's bodily fluid. And the goblin shaman's remark about [research] also concerned me.
