Chapter 16

Pale skin, white hair, and mad red eyes.

With these elements, does she take on the appearance of a cute girl?

“I’ve got to run right now.”

But she didn’t realize the danger she was in?

Then there was nothing left to do but die.

“Grrr?”

“Slurp.”

When the girl, with a glittering gaze, looked down at the deer with her heart clearly pierced.

“Graah! Gack.”

The deer was no more.

There was no fierce battle at all.

“Wow, this is a deer. Excellent protein…”

The girl, holding what was either a sawa-sum or something that had turned into a deer variant monster, left the spot as such.

*

“Whoa, I absolutely shouldn’t mess with that.”

My defense was so low that a single deer attack could pierce right through me.

But if that thing is immortal, then it’s a whole different story.

Defense stats would mean nothing.

I could instinctively realize that the mysterious girl was 곧죽어도흡혈.

No, I couldn’t ignore it even if I tried.

[Admin Chat Room]

곧죽어도흡혈: Monster deer, this is really processed! Should I taste the orange label?

(An utterly mangled sawa-sum meme)

주딱☆: Um.

No, eat plenty.

풀피엘프: Hieeek!

She uploaded a clear proof shot of herself doing it.

Well, thankfully it ended without any major casualties.

“Gallum exists because there’s a gallery.”

And perhaps due to the accidental help of 곧죽흡, mentions of her—banned until then—started to slowly emerge in the gallery.

– Censorship removed, upvote ㅋㅋ

– If I survived, I would upvote

– Can I mention censorship without dying?

– Thank you, goat, I saved my life.

Especially the complaints about 곧죽흡’s posts being mostly ignored finally disappeared.

I was bored stuck in the castle, but this was a good playground.

I hope to go out again next time.

Upvotes started to rise, and sometimes comments began to appear!

ㄴ Author: A reply, it’s been really long.

ㄴ Hieeek! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I apologize, I won’t casually comment again.

ㄴ Author: Question

Of course, it didn’t improve beyond that.

I was observing all this through a single system.

I was even eating the slime noodles that 풀피엘프 had given me through barter.

“Tastes good.”

Of course, it was just at the level of a decent banquet noodle.

Perhaps the people here had unrealistically low standards for taste.

Just the fact that a mere can of tuna was one of the top meals here said it all.

As the incident had unintentionally been sorted out, while I was enjoying the slime noodles and exploring the posts,

Title: So, what now?

“What the?”

An unsettling post appeared.

(Meme of a troll scratching its head)

ㄴ …?

ㄴ What?

ㄴ Is this disruption?

– Author: No, honestly, I just caught a wave by luck, but isn’t the festival atmosphere a bit excessive already?

ㄴ What the heck is this guy?

ㄴ Everyone’s fine, so why is he freaking out?

ㄴ Is this guy one of those troublemakers from the interspecies forum?

ㄴ Elf hate.

Of course, countless requests for evil actions flooded in.

Even so, the author’s straightforward remarks didn’t stop.

ㄴ Author: No, I mean the wave I caught was thanks to the censorship removed 파딱, if not… it would’ve been problematic.

Besides, there’s no guarantee the wave will burst on its own, isn’t enjoying it a bit unreasonable?

ㄴ …

ㄴ Drink!!!!!!!!!!!

It was undoubtedly a stunning critique.

“Is that so?”

I had relaxed my tension immediately after the monster deer died myself.

I managed to get my head around that post.

This time, we passed safely, but what about next time?

And then what about the next?

If I fumbled around every time, that interspecies forum would inevitably be a dump.

“Not good, what’s with 주딱?”

Of course, that post was quickly buried as a troublemaker and deleted, but I searched the weapons category in the shop.

“I need something to prepare for such situations.”

And I found one weapon.

[High-Explosive Grenade] – 30 points

It was a modern destructive and overpowered weapon perfect even for middle school pocket money.

But there was one problem.

“So, how strong are they?”

The only monster I had encountered was just 좀샘.

From my lack of understanding of the other world’s monster ecology, a sense of foreboding crept in.

Why, just look through any reincarnation adventure story and see if modern weapons can’t take on monsters?

“Is there a mana awakening restriction here that only allows them to hunt monsters?”

I felt a sudden fear.

In times like this, asking in the gallery was definitely the quickest way.

Title: I Don’t Get It. Why is the Variant Deer So Strong?

Author: 주딱☆

No lie.

Seriously, why is the variant deer so tough?

I prepared weapons out of caution, but I’m not sure if I can hunt monsters with this;

It’s an explosive attack.

– 주딱, seriously, are you gonna title it like this?

– Aggro is definitely orange.

– Orange really is clueless.

– Orange is truly a belly-button thief.

– Hey, why are you writing an aggro title when you’re 주딱?

– Oh, you’re a magician, 주딱?

– You need to tell me the explosion range and casting time to calculate, it seems.

– Please tell me how much mana is consumed.

ㄴ Look at those mages losing their minds;

ㄴ Yikes, I can smell the mana from here;

ㄴ 주딱☆: Um, so…

ㄴ 주딱☆: Roughly speaking, explosion radius is 15m, with a total preparation time of about 7 seconds.

ㄴ 주딱☆: No mana consumption.

ㄴ Damn, aren’t you a great magician?

ㄴ Don’t lie, damn it.

ㄴ No, I was reading seriously, but casting time is 10 seconds with no mana? Seriously, are you asking to die?

“Seriously.”

This was a high-explosive grenade.

There are all sorts of grenades, and this was just one of them.

ㄴ 주딱☆: Honestly, I’m really asking;

ㄴ 주딱☆: Can I hurt that deer monster with this?

ㄴ Hurt? It’ll turn to dust!

ㄴ 주딱, stop being delusional and just come eat.

ㄴ 주딱, go eat some nutrients.

“Okay, I get your skills now.”

The high-explosive grenade is right in the hearing range of a great magician?

I should let this other world’s civilization taste a bit of modern power.

But I was pondering when to use it, and there was no need for that.

– Ah, damn, another wave is coming.

– The deer monster was a Stard.

– This time, is it Elard?

– Ugh, even Elard is going to shut down.

Just then, a great test subject appeared.

*

In the Elven Forest, Elard.

Even during the Great War, they lived hidden, maintaining minimal damage, but those days were behind them now.

“Lady Eliana! A new wave has appeared!”

“What? No way…”

Eliana’s expression crumpled at the words of the elf knight who rushed over.

It hadn’t been long since the monster deer appeared, and now another wave had struck in succession.

But, it should be manageable.

It would be tough, but if we deployed the troops, we could push back somehow.

At least for a typical wave, it would have been that way.

“Graah!”

What appeared in Elard was none other than a Bone Dragon.

This didn’t fit in with the green forest at all, and it was clear it wasn’t a monster that appeared in Elard.

It must have crawled out from the area just outside the eastern border, which was the starting point of the Great War.

The eyes of the elves guarding near the kingdom all shook with fear.

As generals, they knew that dragon well.

It was the very monster that had slaughtered many elves and vanished long before the start of the Great War.

“Lady Eliana! What should we do?”

Eliana entered the gallery.

And indeed, as the post frequency shot up, elves started confirming sightings of the Bone Dragon.

– I’m an elf and I saw the Bone Dragon, holy cow.

– I’ve lived long enough, but now what?

– Is this for real? This is completely disastrous!

– What is this?

– No way, why is the way they talk so different suddenly?

The elves appeared to struggle to maintain their composure.

Most importantly, there was a significant problem.

“We have no way to stop that.”

We have no weapons.

There’s no weapon that can cut through that steel-like bone, let alone a mere normal weapon.

The elves lacked the skills in blacksmithing to create weapons, so they always bought them from humans, but ever since the Great War, no proper weapons have been supplied.

All that remained were wooden arrows and magic.

“Graah!”

“Do not let it into Elard! Fire!”

At Eliana’s shout, the elves took aim with their bows in unison.

Each one was an excellent archer and knight.

Straining!

Incredible strength shot from their thin arms as they pulled the bowstring.

Each shot was a threatening attack that could not be dodged.

Thud.

But that was only the case when it came to human vs. human combat.

Against such colossal monsters, they couldn’t even leave a scratch.

“Gah! It’s not working!”

“Lady Eliana! We need to withdraw and get new weapons!”

All that was left were the elves’ cries filled with despair and meaningless attacks.

Just then, a wide fireball fell upon the elves’ heads.

“Ahhh!”

“It’s hot!!”

Even the elves, who could wield magic, couldn’t fend off the extensive flames.

But that didn’t mean they could run to grab weapons either.

– The elf race will die and be cursed.

– This world became this way all because of you elves.

– You’re a trash species that shouldn’t exist.

‘No one will lend us a weapon.’

The elves themselves knew well.

They were aware of how deep the hatred for elves ran in the gallery.

While some treated it as a meme, half of them were genuinely hateful and resentful.

It was an undeniable fact that their lack of cooperation contributed to their downfall in the Great War.

Eliana, or 풀피엘프, hated her fellow elves for that reason.

‘If only you had come to your senses sooner…’

Even after countless open discussions, the results turned out this way, despite being warned.

“Eliana! It’s dangerous!!”

An elf archer pushed Eliana away.

“Ahhh!”

An elf who took the flame ball instead of Eliana burned on the arm and rolled on the ground.

“Don’t!”

I grabbed the elf and quickly dodged, but I couldn’t distance myself either.

In Eliana’s eyes, all she could see were the dying elves.

It was just when despair flickered in Eliana’s eyes.
