Chapter 131: Just a Speculation

“Ishud-kun, do monsters like that often appear around here?”

Adreas, like Gulf, barely managed to withstand without falling to his knees.

“No, that kind of monster rarely appears around here. In this area… at most, maybe the Cerberus we defeated before? That’s about the strongest creature that appears here.”

Both Adreas and Dimna knew what kind of monster a Cerberus was.

Hence, they couldn’t help but tremble again at the thought of Ishud defeating a three-headed guard dog by himself, just from the way he talked.

(Of course, it’s only natural. I’ve never actually faced a Cerberus, but probably, that ogre Ishud just defeated was stronger.)

Clenching his molars, Dimna had no choice but to calmly accept the reality that had just unfolded before him.

“Anyway, it was fortunate that we were able to take it down just a day after.”

“Thinking that in half a year, even if Ishud fought seriously, it would be a fifty-fifty chance… it’s good that we managed to defeat it today. But hey, Ishud, what would have happened if that ogre, was it a sword demon? What if its slash was unleashed into empty space?”

“Well, Philip, it would have slashed through not just the surrounding trees but the ground… the very earth itself. Let me tell you, even if you all teamed up, you couldn’t have stopped it.”

“I get that much. If it was aimed at me, I’d just think about dodging it with all my might.”

“Hahaha! Well, that’s probably the best thing to do.”

Rather than trying to block or counteract it, dodging with all one’s strength was the best approach.

Even though the person who said this wielded a different type of sword, making it slightly less convincing, even Dustin, who currently had the highest attack and defense power among Gulf’s group, after seeing the slash the sword demon had unleashed earlier, couldn’t think of facing it head-on.

“It seems that not only do you use regular swords, but you also use the Taro Tachi, Ishud-kun.”

“I don’t usually use it. But, when dealing with big guys, this one can be better. You can cut them down in one stroke, just like that.”

Ishud’s expression, showing his continued preference for weapons from Yamato, brought a smile to Ibuki’s face. But then she immediately thought of the slash the Sword Demon had just unleashed and her expression turned severe.

(That ogre… was a Sword Demon, right? That one slash… completely surpassed my blade!)

There are many incomprehensible things about monsters.

Before evolving into a Sword Demon, the ogre used two greatswords. Using greatswords, which are two-handed weapons, with one hand like a longsword… this could still be understood, given the ogre’s inhuman strength.

However, when the ogre evolved into a Sword Demon, the two greatswords cut by Ishud’s axe technique, Wolf Fang, merged into one… transforming into a Nodachi.

“Still… I can understand monsters evolving into higher beings, but for their weapons to change as well.”

“You didn’t know that, Big Boobs?”

“I knew it as knowledge. But this is my first time seeing it with my own eyes.”

For them, it was their first time seeing not just the fusion of weapons but also the evolution of a monster.

“Moreover… the ogre was using a greatsword before evolving into a Sword Demon. Yet, the way it swung that huge sword… it clearly wasn’t the first time.”

“I thought the same thing. It’s something we should accept as a result, but still… it’s a truly mysterious change.”

“Hmm… Ishud-kun, maybe you could put that change into words, to some extent?”

“Hey, hold on a minute. Why does it suddenly come to me?”

Ishud wanted to retort that he wasn’t an all-knowing professor.

However, all eyes turned to Ishud, who had finished recovering the Sword Demon’s corpse, agreed with and accepted Adreas’ words.

“If it’s Ishud-niisan, considering such things and putting them into words might not be impossible.”

“Lyune… haaa~~. Anyway, let’s walk. I’ll explain my thoughts, but if we encounter a monster, focus on that.”

The battle with the Sword Demon lasted about five minutes in total, so there was still plenty of time for Gulf and the others to engage in combat with wild beasts before returning to the mansion.

“There are similarities between us and monsters, but there are also differences. I think those differences are related to the changes in the weapons I possess.”

“Specifically, what are those differences?”

“The biggest difference might be stamina and the like. While we can naturally increase it through training and leveling up, it seems that monsters are born with incomparable levels of stamina. Even the president senpai must have struggled with such monstrous stamina, right?”

“Yes, indeed… I’ve had some bitter experiences. Is it the same for you, Ishud?”

“For me, if it happens, I just think of it as a situation that fires me up, so it doesn’t really feel like a bitter experience.”

Thinking that this guy is indeed strange, the girls continued to listen without interrupting.

“The fundamental strength as a living being, like stamina? Physical abilities too, I suppose. Those aspects are different.”

“There are monsters that can regenerate without having any regeneration skills.”

“Exactly. There are many parts where we seem similar but are actually very different.”

“You believe that is the reason behind the phenomenon that just occurred, don’t you?”


“Sort of. Also, in the case of that Sword Demon earlier, he might have… wished for the power to defeat me on the brink of death.”

He had no confidence at all.

It was purely Ishud’s intuition, a mere fantasy.

“As a result, it was not a new greatsword, but a nodachi.”

“I don’t know if that former ogre knew about samurais, katanas, and nodachis.”

Everything is Isuhd’s speculation.

However, Ishud was the only one who actually clashed swords with the Sword Demon, who had evolved from an ogre… His explanation had a strange persuasiveness to it.
