Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 213.4
If the demon was really in that place, it would be like jumping into a demon’s trap, but I had prepared accordingly.
The equipment I had Gelf make for me, using the black dragon’s flying membrane, was complete.
The shape was the same as before, and it was thin, so its shock-absorbing function was low, but it had enough resistance and protection against magic that arrows fired by low ranks could not penetrate it, and fire arrows would not even leave scorch marks.
The biggest surprise was its regenerative power and comfort.
Even penetration marks close up within the day, and not only was it stretchy and did not interfere with movement, but the skirt fluttered as if it read my will and did not get tangled up in my legs.
The arm guard and boots were also reinforced with black dragon’s flying membrane, and were also reinforced with dragon’s scales. The small crossbow in the arm guard also had its strings replaced with dragon whiskers, which increased its range and power, albeit slightly.
This time, the arrows also have a twist. I prepared a hundred short steel arrows and used a little mithril at the tip of each one. Normally, arrows would not work against the undead, but these arrows should be able to kill a low-level undead with a single blow.
Even with all this equipment, I did not know if I would be able to defeat a high-ranking demon. Even so, I have no intention of letting the demon escape.
[Gaaaah!]
“Understood.”
About half a day after I started running with Nero, Nero and my {detection} caught a sign of something approaching.
Two…? At first, I thought there were three, but there were only two signs of life.
A lifeless being had been chasing two fleeing human-like figures.
I heard a branch break from across the forest, and two girls appeared, one in robes and the other in leather armor.
The girl in leather armor made a twitching face at the sight of Nero, but the girl in robes, who was being pulled by her hand, noticed me at her back and raised her voice loudly.
“–Help!”
[…boo…]
A huge body over two meters tall appeared right after the girls.
An orc…it was also undead. It is not customary for adventurers to take other adventurers’ prey, but it is recommended that adventurers lend a helping hand whenever possible when called upon to do so.
“The request for help is accepted.”
At the same time as I tap Nero on the shoulder, the huge black body that has taken my intention suddenly brakes as if it were gouging the earth, sending me flying forward from his back.
While shedding my cloak, I leap over the two of them with astonishment plastered on my face, and I too draw a black knife and dagger from my waist as the orc raises his cudgel at the sight of his new prey.
“–{Dancing Ripper}–!”
[—-]
The eight strikes that were fired from the left and right with rushing force turned the rotting orc into a lump of flesh and blew it away.

“…What happened?”
I asked as I changed my position and landed so as not to be exposed to that rotting flesh, and the girl in leather armor looked at me with a stunned face, but the girl in robes who asked for help opened her mouth with a confused look on her face.
“…Our, our town is turning into something strange…”
