“Avarice?”

The monster looked like a Searcher, but the patterns on its shell and the displayed name suggested it was a different monster. The patterns were red lines running all over the monster’s body, like the tribal markings native Americans or shamans would use, or so was the impression Shin had.

“The monster changed? This and the lack of monsters above are giving me a nasty feeling.”

Things were taking a turn for the worse, without anyone realizing it: so Shin felt when he saw the Mob Ant – Avarice.

Lecus and the others wanted to fight, but the name change concerned Shin, so he decided to fight first. He told the kids to stand back and watch, then stepped in closer to the monster. A flash of 『Kakura』 and the monster was cleaved in two, completely cut down.

The Mob Ants in the back too were defeated in quick succession.

For Shin, the Mob Ant – Avarice was just like any other small fry monster: maybe because he remembered what Myu said, though, he thought that their shell was a bit harder than normal.

“What the…?”

What surprised Shin’s group the most, however, was what happened after the monsters were neutralized. Monsters inside dungeons normally never left their remains behind. The Mob Ants’ corpses, however, showed no signs of disappearing.

After a few moments of observation, Shin noticed that the Mob Ants’ remains started vibrating.

“Parts of the corpses still have HP?”

According to 【Analyze】, the shaking monster parts all showed to have HP, which meant that they were still alive. It was bizarre, however, for the scattered corpse parts to each have HP left.

Insect-type monsters could sometimes survive even if their torso was cut off, but there was no way that just one of their legs was programmed to have an HP bar.

“Mr. Shin, please look at that!”

Shin was trying to make sense of the situation, when Lecus’ voice, indicating surprise, reached his ears.

“…I see, so that’s why even a single leg has separate HP.”

The corpse Lecus pointed at melted in a puddle and formed a Mob Ant. Its shell had the same patterns as the Mob Ant had before being defeated.

The only difference was the size: maybe because it was born from part of the original monster’s body, just one leg too, it was just about 30 cemel long.

However, in place of one Mob Ant, now 10 of them, of various sizes, had appeared. If they had different sizes, but shared the same strength, they would be quite a menace.

“Even if they’re defeated, their corpses come back to life? This doesn’t make sense.”

“Could they increase in numbers the more they’re defeated?”

“Could be.”

Looking at the Mob Ants increasing in quantity, Lecus and the others retained their will to fight but were very confused. They had experienced Shin’s strength directly, so it was shocking to see that the monsters were not defeated by his attack.

“It’s still too early to get nervous. Luckily, there are still few of them. Let’s see if there’s an effective way of defeating them.”

In contrast, Shin’s tone was calm.
