Chapter 4: To the Peninsula

A dull sound, like that of a moist fruit being crushed underfoot, echoed through the dark forest. A rusty, sickeningly-sweet stench wafting up from the forest’s trees tickled Sara’s nostrils, prompting her to slightly contort her fair face.

“How do you feel, Master Ryoma? Does anything feel off in some way?” Sara asked, handing over a towel to the dark shadow standing before her.

“Everything seems fine, for now,” Ryoma replied. “But I gotta admit, martial thaumaturgy is really something. It’s like my body’s turned into some kind of wild animal’s.”

“You’ve already learned the basics. All that remains is to gain experience in using it through real combat.”

“Gain experience, huh... I can already kill beasts with my bare hands. I can’t even imagine what I’ll be able to pull off if I become skilled at this.” Ryoma said, his lips curling up in a satisfied smirk.

His expression was not unlike the ghastly visage of a sneering demon. His face was covered in dark red splashes of blood. Both his arms were coated in red up to his elbows, and the red fluid was dripping from his fingers steadily down to the forest floor.

Scattered all around them were the remains of dead wolves — fifty-four of them in total. They were large creatures, each of them standing over a meter tall and weighing sixty kilograms. Giants, as wolves went. These beasts no doubt stood as rulers of this forest, but they now lay dead at Ryoma’s feet.

Such was the fate of those who lost in the struggle for survival.

Blood was flowing endlessly from their carcasses and pooling over the forest floor. Their savage faces were crushed to bits.

“Honestly, I didn’t think I’d kill them so easily bare-handed,” Ryoma said in an almost exasperated tone, gazing at the corpses at his feet. “It’s not just that my muscle strength increased, my senses are sharper too and my body feels so much lighter.”

Besides the elation rising up from within his body, he couldn’t help but feel that the sight before his eyes was some kind of illusion conjured up by his mind. There was a stark difference in muscle strength between humans and animals. Humans could only safely hunt down beasts when armed with firearms or a blade. The gap between man and beast was simply that vast.

But Ryoma slew such animals with his bare hands, and he was able to do so while handling many of them at once. And as Ryoma wiped his body clean with the towel, it became apparent he wasn’t injured in any way. This stood as proof that, once using martial thaumaturgy, Ryoma was stronger than a wild animal.

His hand felt vividly warm from having pierced through the stomachs of the wolves, crushing their entrails in the process. His fingers could still feel the shredding sensation from when he tore apart the jaws of a wolf that tried to bite down on him. And these weren’t normal animals, either. They were fearsome creatures, categorized as monsters.
