The second the man spotted the shadow-like thing, he slashed at it with all his might. No hesitation—only fury.

His entire body, his basest instincts, screamed that he couldn’t let it continue to exist.

His friends probably felt the same.

Despite shaking with fear, they thrust forth their spears, shot their arrows, and cast their spells.

Having trained together for so long, they were perfectly in sync...

“No... How?!”

“Not a bad judgment... Perhaps I should have expected as much from you. You realized what it was you had revived and struck right away, the only moment you had a chance of victory. Not bad, indeed. But unfortunately, your attacks won’t be landing on him.”

“Tch...!”

“And as soon as you realize your mistake, you aim at me... Impressive, honestly. Not quite as much power as I hoped for, but we can work with that. If it’s all right with you, I’d like to add you to our ranks, in thanks for what you’ve done for us. What do you say?”

“Hell no!”

“I thought so... That’s too bad. Yes... Go ahead and eat him.”

Just then, the man felt a searing heat in his right arm.

He quickly realized it was all in his head, though...

...Since there was nothing where his right arm had once been.

“Ah— Aaah, aaaaaaaaahh! My...my arm!”

“Oh, it won’t kill you, so long as you heal it right away. I’ll excuse myself, since I have something to do. This leaves one more... Oh, right. Clean up after him, would you? He seems to be quite the picky eater. They didn’t suit his palate.”

The man was confused for a moment but then grasped what the other was referring to.

Writhing in agony, he lifted his head and saw...the corpses of his friends, the top halves of their bodies all torn off.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh!”

In a mixture of pain, fear, and rage, all he could do was scream.

The interior of the ruins had an uncanny air to it, just as the exterior did.

It was constructed mainly of stone, but in some places, the forest was consuming and fusing with it.

In a sense, that was what made it really feel like ruins, but it felt exaggerated all the same.

It didn’t faze Sierra, though, because she was used to this.

It wasn’t rare for adventurers to go to places like this, and Sierra in particular had seen more forest in her life than anything else. It wouldn’t make sense for her to be surprised or put off at this point.

She was walking at the tail end of the party, the position she’d been assigned sometime along the way, and observing their surroundings.

While watching out for surprise attacks from the rear, she looked for anything that might be a hint.

It could have been called unnecessary, to be honest, since Soma would be the first to notice anything that was there. He even noticed attacks from the rear before she did.

It shouldn’t have been a problem if she’d just walked behind him like the other two were doing.

They couldn’t be sure that even Soma would notice everything, though, so they needed to be ready just in case.
