Chapter 406: A Desperate Monster Hunt in the Fog
The Reincarnated Extra
A Desperate Monster Hunt in the Fog
* * *
Munch, munch, munchâ¦
The sound that echoes through the heart of the forest, filled with deep blue fog.
In other words, itâs the sound of Emi devouring the flesh of the giant octopus.
The giant octopusâs remains⦠five out of its eight arms were already devoured.
But Emi is still hungry.
No matter how much she eats, she canât be satisfied.
After tearing off the flesh, she continued to shove the giant octopus into her stomach, almost swallowing it whole.
There are no other animals around, except for Emi.
A carcass of this size is lying around.
It would be normal for small fish to gather and start pecking at it.
But at this particular time, there are no other predators here except for Emi.
Because Emi, while devouring the giant octopus, continues to unleash her ãIntimidationã, driving away any octopus meat thieves.
In other wordsâ¦
ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â
The group that Emi sensed at this momentâ¦
â¦The group thatâs heading straight towards her, disregarding her ãIntimidationãâ¦
â¦Must be either very strongâ¦
â¦Or a very determined group.
ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â
Emi, just as she was about to bite into the sixth octopus leg, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, glared at the foggy forest, and slowly clenched her fists.
She doesnât know who they are⦠the group approaching her.
But theyâre defying her ãIntimidationã and coming towards her.
Theyâre enemies.
In other words⦠they are enemies.
Sheâll kill them all.
Emiâs mind switched back to combat mode, her soul filled with killing intent.
Punch them.
Tear them apart.
Crush them.
â¦Kill them!
But⦠Emiâ¦
Despite having her body and mind fully prepared for battleâ¦
â¦Seeing the group emerging from the fogâ¦
â¦She was⦠quite shaken.
Why?
The group that reached Emiâ¦
â¦Was countlessâ¦
â¦Small octopuses.
They looked very similar to the giant octopus she just killedâ¦
â¦They were baby octopusesâ¦
* * *
Thatâs ridiculous!
Even though octopuses are intelligent creatures!
Sensing their motherâs death, coming to avenge her!?
Such a thing⦠is impossible!
â¦You might think that.
Actually, Emi and Extra-sama thought about that for a moment too.
But the reality is, the baby octopuses are here.
Their eyes, burning with rage⦠are perfect proof that you shouldnât underestimate the intelligence of octopuses!
If youâre still not convinced, I can only say, âOctopuses donât normally operate on land or fly in the skyâ⦠but that aside.
Anyway, Emi was certainly shaken for a moment.
She was taken aback, pierced by the baby octopusesâ angry eyes.
Butâ¦
Extra-sama spoke to Emi.
â¦Yes⦠in most cases, living beings are âchildrenâ of something, and in some cases, they are already âparentsâ.
Emi has broken up and eaten many families so far.
There was even a time when she fought back and killed a bear that came to avenge its kin.
Itâs too late for her to hesitate now.
Crushing and consuming others, the world, for her own sake.
Thatâs how Emi has lived until now, and thatâs how sheâll continue to live.
This time, itâs just⦠more obvious.
Itâs really⦠too late now.
Emiâs killing intent reignited, burning brightly.
Her soul⦠transformed into that of a monster again!
However.
The remaining humanity in Emiâs heartâ¦
The small opening it createdâ¦
At this momentâ¦
Helped the baby octopuses!
Whizz!!
One of the baby octopuses, concealing its presence with its motherâs ãPresence Concealmentã, circled behind Emi⦠and then, rammed into her!
Itâs a baby octopus⦠but a baby octopus of a giant octopus.
Itâs already the size of a human head, and its speed, when swimming through the air at full speed, is quite fast.
Itâs the body slam⦠of such a baby octopus.
Emi, whose guard was down due to being shaken, couldnât avoid it, and staggered from the impact.
Emi is tough.
Even with a body slam that would shatter the bones of an ordinary person, she only staggered.
Because of this⦠the baby octopuses should have no chance of winning.
But.
But!
To get straight to the point.
These baby octopusesâ¦
â¦Indeedâ¦
â¦âPulled it offâ!
âGuh⦠!?â
Emi, staggering, exposed another opening.
The baby octopuses didnât miss it!
They all charged at Emi, this time from the front!
Thump, thump, thump!
The unexpected consecutive attacks, even through her ãBlack Armorã, sent shockwaves through Emiâs body!
To be honest, as I mentioned earlier, even this desperate attack by the baby octopuses didnât actually damage Emi.
But⦠from the impact of their relentless body slamsâ¦
Lightlyâ¦
Emiâs body⦠floated into the air.
âDam⦠!?â
Emi, a land creature, canât fight at her full potential without her feet on the ground!
She panicked, but it was too late.
She was lifted into the air by the baby octopusesâ continuous body slams, and they started toying with her, unable to counterattack.
She tried to shake off the baby octopuses with her ãBlack Tentaclesã.
But the baby octopusesâ continuous body slams, born from their perfect coordination, didnât even give her the chance to do that!
âDONâT UNDERESTIMATE MEEEã¼ã¼ã¼!!â
Emi screamed, spinning in the air, and unleashed her full ãIntimidationã!
A few of the baby octopuses, at close range, died from the shock of her manaâs ferocity, but there are so many of them!
The gaps were quickly filled, and the continuous attacks resumed!
A few seconds after Emi was lifted into the air.
As if to finish her off, one particularly large baby octopus rammed into Emi, slamming her towards the ground.
Emi, unable to resist, took the hit and fell headfirst towards the ground.
And what was at her landing pointâ¦
Whether the baby octopuses were aiming for it, or it was just a coincidence⦠that, we donât know.
Anyway, what was thereâ¦
â¦Was the teleportation magic circle⦠left in the ruin!
âAAAAAAAAAAAHã¼ã¼ã¼!?â
The moment Emi was slammed into the teleportation magic circle with tremendous force!
Her body was enveloped in a burst of purple light!
And a few seconds later!
Emiâs body⦠completely disappeared from the foggy forest.
And⦠she never returned.
The jet-black monster⦠that had painted the silent, blue, foggy forest with deathâ¦
â¦Thus disappeared.
