He grasped Yellowy’s horn tightly with his left hand and twisted his body.
Moooo!
His legs and bottom rose slightly. He used the centrifugal force that was pulling the sword and twisted his body.
While doing a 360 on top of Yellowy, he sliced the neck of the Caltrop to his left.
“Gaargh!”
The Caltrops’ stances withered.
Although it might not be a Knight’s charge, but the damage he inflicted was immense because it was sword attack with enormous acceleration. And Caltrops weren’t monsters with much Health, either.
Their dry, sturdy skin blocked with formidable defense, but his Moonlight Sculpting Blade had the effect of ignoring the opponent’s defense.
It was when they had defeated two of them and were charging between the Caltrops—
*Lurch!*
Yellowy moved with his front legs in a zigzag manner. They approached the clumped Caltrops while executing steps in a much slower speed.
This was the biggest disadvantage of a Knight’s charge on horseback!
It became the strongest weapon on the plains, but once you grazed past the monsters, turning around again was way too hard. For a monster who knew long-distance attacks, it actually became a weak point.
However, Yellowy was not a horse.
Sidestep, backwards step. He was a cow who could perform directional changes smoothly!
He sharply reduced speed and changed direction as they grazed past the Caltrops. He even knew the perfect distance for Weed to swing his sword.
He was faithful, his efficiency was good, and like a cow sincerely doing the work it was entrusted, he didn’t make any mistakes even when doing something for the first time.
The Caltrops didn’t die after getting hit with one slash each, but since they had drastically lost fighting power. All he had to do was decisively slit the thin layer of skin on their throats.
The last remaining Caltrop was in front of Yellowy.
Weed stroked Yellowy’s neck.
“Yellowy, take it down!”
“Don’t want to. How could I do such a nasty act.”
He still had not thrown away his reluctance in battle!
Weed knew how to properly use the carrot-and-stick tactic. If he only fostered threats and horror, there would be resistance no matter how loyal of a cow he was.
“Take it down and I’ll give you one copper. If you kill it completely, I’ll give you two coppers.”
Another incentive in battle!
For Yellowy, one copper was a monstrous amount.
‘Things can be bought with one copper… A handful of highly nutritious hay. Ten buckets of chilled water!’
Apparently he could buy a handsbreadth of land if he saved and saved to gather ten coppers. If he planted at least weeds, he could eat them up whenever he was famished.
If he collected about 10 gold, he could supposedly build a shabby barn, which was Yellowy’s hope in life.
Dreams of owning his own home!
MOOOOO!
Yellowy’s energetic acceleration!
He flew forward to the point of plowing deep furrows in the ground and rammed the Caltrop with his pointy horns.
The Caltrop wailed miserably as the impact knocked it several meters away.
Weed hunted the Caltrops, acquiring savory experience, japtem, a sooty iron plate, howling plant seeds, a blue marble, and the like.
“I don’t know what the marble is used for yet, but if I collect it, there’ll be a place to sell it.”
Weed checked his income and laughed heartily.
The fruits of his labor, such as the smithing item, and the EXP was so savory.
“Hunting has got to be this flavor after all.”
The relationship between the Caltrops and Demonic Spirits was hostile!
Demonic Spirits’ very similar in appearance to Demonic Spirits of the Resurrection Army, and they were dispersed along the River of Lamentation. It seemed beasts who drank water from the River of Lamentation turned into Demonic Spirits.
Weed mainly hunted these Demonic Spirits and Caltrops.
“The Five Phoenix Brothers. Deploy!”
He also made the Phoenixes participate in battle.
The majestic Five Phoenix Brothers!
They vaporized the deep fog with a single breath. The ground glowed with heat and caught fire.
Once the moisture disappeared, the Caltrops’ lightning attacks weakened.
The Phoenixes flew long distances at once and pecked at enemy heads.
Since they were guys with almost infinite Health, they simply took normal attacks with their bodies.
They could self-recover, even if their Health dropped significantly! They soon rose again.
They could revive even at the brink of death as long as a slight flame remained; the Phoenixes’ contribution made the battle convenient.
“Huhuhu.”
Weed laughed wickedly.
He felt pleasure while watching the sculptures he had granted life fighting very valiantly.
The stronger the Phoenixes were, the more items and japtem he could obtain!
“Fight. Become stronger. Cover the world with your fire!”
The Five Phoenixes and Yellowy!
They became Weed’s powerful reinforcements.
As he hunted Monsters along the River of Lamentation, he increasingly expanded his activity zone.
However, he didn’t leave the riverbank and wandered around the wide areas because he didn’t know what kind of danger might be lurking.
Even so, as many as ten Caltrops could be hunted with just the Phoenixes.
However, he had to wait for a very long time.
[T/N: Weed had to wait for the Phoenixes to keep reviving.]
