Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Chapter 170



Episode 170

: The South is barren.

The weather was so harsh that it snowed more than 200 days out of 365 days.

Of course, you can’t grow rice or wheat, and the only things that grow are strong and tough ones.

There are a lot of things that humans can’t eat, but if you think about it the other way around, there’s a lot of food that monsters can eat.

Although not as many as the North, there were enough monsters to go to the South as well.

Even if you kill it, it will not decrease, and you cannot completely dry the seeds.

Plants in the south grow uncontrollably unless they are monsters that eat their own bodies because their vitality is as strong as that of barbarians.

In addition, there are plants that eat humans and animals, so when they multiply, the number of enemies doubles.

That kind of thing shouldn’t happen, so we only hunt a reasonable number of monsters.

A day to periodically hunt monsters.

Today was the day to go hunting.

“The hunting team was injured this time.”

Normally, he wouldn’t have suggested hunting to me.

However, I don’t know if this was coincidence or necessity, but the people I was sparring with were the hunting team that was supposed to go hunting today.

What this means is that there are no people who should go hunting today.

You could fill it in with someone else, but…

“Are you saying the Marquis told me to go?”

“uh. “He was originally going to take a few other people with him, but when he heard that you were up, he told us to go together.”

“Hmm…”

I didn’t really want to go in my current mood, but I was guilty so I couldn’t refuse.

“All right.”

“I’m going to move right away, so just grab what you need and come to the back door. “I’ll be waiting there.”

“yes.”

Lanos hurriedly leaves the place.

I looked at him from behind and then back at Count Warrug.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“it’s nothing.”

“What are you doing. “I’m waiting, so let’s go.”

“Ah yes.”

Count Warrug taps my shoulder.

Count Warrug sent me away without even thinking about it, to the point where I felt as if the memories I had suffered from were a long time ago.

I glanced back at him and walked away.

“It came sooner than expected?”

“Yeah…what.”

Since I didn’t have anything to take, I just took the cotton I left in my room and went straight to the back door.

Lanos had a greatsword slung over his shoulder and a rope on his shoulder.

However, the amount is quite large.

Did you need a line to go hunting?

“What is that line?”

“Oh this. “I’ll find out when I get there.”

He says don’t ask questions, you will know when you go.

Well, I thought that would be the case, so I decided to do as he wanted.

“kind!”

“death!”

I left the castle, exchanging a secret slogan with the guard guarding the back entrance.

“Oh, watch your step. “Because there is a trap.”

“yes.”

I nodded and looked at my feet.

As he said, there were traps so clever that you wouldn’t notice them unless you looked closely.

If you go there without knowing anything, you could fall into a hole and get stabbed by a poisoned spear underneath.

Other than that, there are trees with sharp wires, poisoned traps, etc.

I went up the mountain path, passing countless traps.

Lanos guided me very skillfully.

Well, it was worth it. Since I was born and raised in the South, it was natural that I would be familiar with the surrounding geography.

“ah. From here on out, don’t make any noise if possible. Well… I’ll take care of it myself.”

He glances back at me holding the cotton cloth.

He also took a moment to look around.

Claw marks on trees, defecation, etc.

If I found even the smallest trace, I would stay there for a long time and think about it.

And as if he had come to a conclusion, he said when he saw the marks that were higher than himself.

“This is a steel bear.”

“By steel bear, do you mean a bear whose entire body is covered in iron?”

“uh. “You see this here.”

He pointed to a huge stool under the tree.

“If you look closely here, you can faintly see iron dust mixed in.”

“Ah… I see.”

Just as he said, I saw powder sparkling in the light.

“And the characteristic of steel bears is that their urine smells very sweet.”

“Hmm…”

“Looking at it, this one is a female. “Maybe it’s the heat season now, but the smell is even worse.”

As he said that, he raised the corners of his mouth with a grin.

I can hear his voice muttering, ‘This harvest is going to be big.’

Steel bears had the characteristic of gathering in one place during the breeding season.

The males gathered in one place and started fighting to get the females, and only the male who won the process could get the females.

Lanos was aiming for that.

If the males fight each other, they will eventually run out of strength, and if they attack then, they can be caught with less effort.

“Have you tried the Steel Bear?”

“no.”

There was no chance to eat.

The steel bear’s habitat is the south. It is not possible to regularly interact with the South, and the opportunity to eat meat from animals native to the South is extremely rare.

Unless you are a real king, emperor, or someone with great power and wealth, it is difficult to bring it out of the south.

So I’ve only heard the name, but I’ve never tried the meat.

He said with a strange smile at my answer.

“Then take this opportunity to eat it. “You will experience a new world.”

Is it really that delicious?

Since he speaks with such confidence, I am interested in the meat of the steel bear.

“We can go over there.”

As he went in the direction he was heading, there were more and more signs of steel bears.

As if they were trying to show that it was their territory, even if you went inside, it was full of steel bear filth.

Most people would frown at the terrible smell if they were among this much filth, but Steel Bear’s was different.

In fact, the deeper I went, the sweeter the smell became.

The sweet smell makes me wrinkle my nose.

“Get ready quickly. Because it will arrive soon. It will probably be difficult to deal with. “Because their entire bodies are covered in steel, they don’t get cut easily, so people who meet them for the first time are confused… but you might be different.”

I shrugged my shoulders at his words.

It was my first time dealing with a steel bear, so I couldn’t say whether I was confident or not.

Rather, I had a strong desire to deal with him quickly.

It is a bear whose entire body is covered with steel. Where else can you see such an animal?

Kuoooooo –

At that time, a bear’s howl was heard not far away.

Coooooo!

There was also a sound as if two trucks had collided.

“Oh, it looks like it’s started.”

He ran quietly, saying he couldn’t miss this good opportunity.

Then I take out a small container and tell you to sprinkle it on your body.

I looked at him asking what this was, and he only said that it was for removing human body odor and said nothing more.

Although I felt reluctant for some reason, I decided to go along with him as much as possible and followed him, sprinkling powder on my body.

A musty smell stings my nose.

The smell was so bad that I wondered if it was ‘that’ smell.

“Okay, it’s definitely been erased. “Then let’s go take a look.”

He was strangely excited, perhaps focusing on watching rather than fighting.

“Ah, this is a famous place.”

A place where stones are piled up in a heap.

Lanos took one of the seats and motioned for me to sit on the flat part of it.

I followed him and fell down on the spot, and he pointed ahead.

In the distance, I saw bears with softly shining bodies.

‘Wow… its entire body is really made of iron.’

It looked really solid, even shiny.

There were seven bears in total.

“The two biggest ones are female and the rest are male.”

It is said that female steel bears are twice the size of males.

In addition, females have black spots on their backs, so the sexes can be distinguished by whether or not they have spots.

“Now look carefully. “Because fighting them is kind of fun.”

He didn’t care about the sharp stones poking at his body, he knelt down, took out some beef jerky, and put it in his mouth.

He didn’t frown even once, as if it didn’t hurt at all.

I really want that body.

“Um… Is there anything you want to say?”

I lay down with him, but it hurts so much that I can’t keep lying down.

I wasn’t that physically strong.

“it hurts? You are just like other guys. Their bodies are the same, so how can they show such swordsmanship? Is this why they are so talented? “Here.”

He takes off his clothes and gives them to me.

Made from animal skin, it was quite tough, but not soft.

Still, it’s better than nothing.

“are you okay?”

“Because I’m not weak like you.”

Is this a problem of being weak and dry?

It’s a separate issue from that.

Well, if that were you, it would be like that. He is confident in his body and has no desire for me to upset his feelings about it.

Wow!

Hearing the roar of a steel bear, his eyes sparkle and he looks forward.

“It’s starting. “Let’s take a look at that first.”

Then he hands me some beef jerky.

I took the beef jerky, put it in my mouth, and looked forward after him.

Coooooo!

The two males started bumping into each other.

Perhaps because its body was so large, just hitting its head against its head made a huge sound.

Kwaaaaang!

A slightly smaller steel bear hit the head of a larger steel bear.

Iron collides with iron and sparks fly.

It is a spectacle that is difficult to see even in a typical bear fight, but it is a fight between bears whose entire bodies are made of steel.

Moreover, it was twice as big as an ordinary bear.

“Who do you think will win?”

“I think the smaller guy over there will win.”

“Then I’m the big guy!”

I didn’t think it would be that much fun, but it was quite fun to see.

Although the steel bear had a huge body, it was quite agile.

The powerful swing of the forepaw made a tremendous roar, and its body made of iron withstood the powerful forepaw without any problem.

simple.

Simple and strong.

Wow!

The little guy hit the big guy on the head and moved to the side.

Quaaaang!

Push the big guy’s body with your shoulder and knock it down.

Kuuuung –

The big guy falls. That’s the end of the game.

The little guy swung his front paw vigorously at the big guy’s head, and the big guy went limp for a moment.

The big guy got up with difficulty for a moment and bowed his head towards the little guy.

It was an admission of defeat.

“Tsk. “The little guy really won.”

“Yes.”

“Tch. It’s a shame. “I thought the bigger one would win, both in terms of size and strength.”

At first glance, you might think so.

Because the size is different.

But the little guy overcame the size difference in a battle of heads.

I avoided things that felt like it would be dangerous to get hit, and used my body to hit and push things that seemed like they could be dangerous.

The little guy was smart.

Wow!

Letting out a roar of victory, the little guy looks around.

The other steel bears cried as they faced the little guy and treated him like a winner.

“Let’s get ready quickly.”

Only after all the males were fighting for the female did Lanos make his move.
