Lets Exterminate The Monsters In Kamuikotan! 3

Having reached the base of Kamui Rock, Haruki looked inside his backpack.

Inside, an empty-eyed Chep was frothing at the mouth.

Her gills werent moving.

Did she die?

Just in case, Haruki gently slapped her cheeks.

Then, as if her soul had returned to her body, Chep started breathing again with a Haaah!

A Are you trying to kill me!?

Harukis new way of moving around seemed to have been a bit too radical for Chep.

Her round eyes were completely bloodshot.

Of course, Haruki had no intention to kill Chep for the time being.

He simply had thought of a way to quickly move around and wanted to try it out.

That new way of moving around was similar to that of the stereotypical ninja.

Jumping from tree to tree by kicking their trunks as one would jump off a wall.

Having leveled up in the dungeon and improved his skills, jumping from trunk to trunk was not such a difficult thing for Haruki.

It was more difficult to control the direction of travel than the actual jumping.

The angle of each jump limited the direction in which he would move next.

That part needs improvement

Ugh That was an awful experience

Haruki looked up, ignoring Cheps grumbling and complaining.

Kamui Rock was a steep precipice all the way to its summit, and it had no walking route.

So he had no choice but to climb his way up.

He put his hands on the rocks to check their stability.

After making sure the rock was sturdy, he would move on to the next foothold.

Analyzing a rocks shape, checking it by hand, and memorizing the results.

By the time he had climbed ten meters, he was already able to identify footholds just by looking at them.

After that point, he continued to ascend without hesitating.

Waaaahhh

Did she look down?

Chep was trembling inside the backpack.

But Haruki didnt care about it at all.

He had no time to care.

This was Harukis first experience with rock climbing.

He was doing so well so far because he was pushing hard through his own physical strength.

If he were to lose focus, he would instantly make a mistake and end up falling head first.

Haruki continued to climb Kamui Rock while ignoring Cheps noise through sheer force of concentration.

Wow

Haruki voiced his admiration at the scenery he could see from the top of Kamui Rock.

A natural landscape where mountains, rivers, and the blue sky were in complete harmony.

The sight of Kamuikotan made Harukis chest tremble.

Amazing. So beautiful.

Dont try to praise me! You wont get anything from me, you know?

I wasnt talking about you!

Haruki dropped his shoulders in response to hearing Cheps voice.

She had just ruined a perfect moment.

Having reached the top of Kamui Rock, Haruki took Chep out of his backpack.

Chep had spent the whole trip there speaking ill of Haruki, saying he was going to take advantage of her, but now there was a slight hint of tension in her face, probably because she had arrived at Kamui Rock.

Well then.

Haruki braced himself.

What would happen from here on?

Contrary to his fast-beating chest, his body was completely relaxed.

There were no monsters other than Chep within Harukis Detection range.

There was little chance a monster would attack him all of a sudden.

But still, he couldnt allow himself to lose focus.

There were monsters roaming on the outskirts of Kamuikotan who couldnt be subjugated during the Stampede.

Besides, there was this situation too.

What was going to happen there?

What was Chep planning to do?

The nervous Haruki could already imagine what this all was about.

Haruki, who had a habit of collecting myths, could not be unaware of what Chep was trying to do at the top of Kamui Rock.

Thats why he had gone all the way up to that place, despite him being in the middle of a very important mission to increase his own presence.

Kamuikotan was the place where the evil god Ninne Kamui fought against the hero Samaikuru.

And Kamui Rock was believed to be a vestige of Samaikurus attack, created as a result of Samaikurus attack on Ninne Kamui.

And now, the best salmon offering to the gods had come to this place

!?

As Chep made her way to the center of Kamui Rock, an intense chill went down Harukis entire body.

What was that?

Haruki expanded his Detection range and reached for his short sword.

Nothing had changed according to both his eyes and his Detection skill.

He was simply feeling the chills and there was nothing he could do about them.

But that was a big problem.

Because such chills were similar to the ones he felt when the rare species of deer appeared in the garage dungeon.

Haruki took a single breath and focused, trying to put his disturbed conscience back together.

In the center of Kamui Rock, a kneeling Chep looked up to the sky as if praying.

At that moment, darkness came flying from the sky.

It fell on the center of Kamui Rock, just above Chep.

As it fell, it created a tremor and caused a windstorm to scatter.

!

With his arms crossed, Haruki bit his back teeth.

The thing that came flying from the sky was black.

A pitch-black thing.

Its large eyeballs glaringly shifted towards Haruki.

A clear murderous intent.

An intense malice.

Haruki got goosebumps all across his back.

The cloud of dust that had been rolled up was cleared away by the wind.

Then, the full picture of the pitch-black thing was revealed.

Its skin was covered by black scales, and it had sharp talons.

Its neck was as thick as a grown mans thigh.

Its round eyes had cat-like elongated pupils.

The pitch-black thing was a demihuman fish with arms and legs a Fishman monster.

!

The Fishman lunged at Haruki with its talons before he could put himself on guard.

Haruki hurriedly pulled out his short sword.

The talons made contact at the same time he raised his short sword.

Harukis posture was immediately broken due to his imperfect defense.

The Fishman attacked once again with his talons.

Desperately moving his arms and legs, Haruki put all of his efforts in dodging the attack.

The talons barely grazed at Harukis coat.

If Haruki had tried to dodge a fraction of a second later, the Fishmans talons would already have been dug deep into his neck.

After avoiding the Fishmans deadly blow, Haruki quickly regains his posture.

Back in the 15th floor of the garage dungeon, Haruki, no longer afraid of losing to any of the werewolves there, was able to hold them back even when he was in a disadvantageous posture.

Haruki was harboring a strong sense of caution this time around.

This seemed to be a monster that he wouldnt be able to defeat on his own.

Of course, Haruki had never been really alone in his fights thus far.

Rhea would be in his backpack, and Karen would be right behind him.

Esta also proved to be a great asset during the battle against the rare species of deer.

If the opponent was at his level or below, he should be able to take it on solo.

However, from Harukis battle experience so far, the enemies that have been appearing seemed to be far superior to him.
