I'm Sorry... (3)

…

After a few seconds, regretting my accidental murder, I finally realize something - I realize who my victim was

"Wait a minute! Another Cat? Don't fuck me! After all, how many of these monsters are in this part of the forest? Hell man, I'm starting to get angry, with the fact that although this forest is huge, I only encounter this fucking monster! Sigh! Anyway! Where the hell are this guy's body?"

With that in mind, I start looking around trying to find Rushed-Panther's body

After a few minutes I finally find the corpse.

I slowly walk over to it, and as I get closer, I finally discover the cause of the monster's death

When I reach about five feet from the body, I stop and start looking at the corpse with an awkward smile

"W,what in the world is that?"

The Rushed-Panther body is partially crushed under several trees

Looking at the ground near the body, I notice claw marks on the ground

"Wow, when I heard Elizabeth's notification. I thought you died because my attack hit you! Well, I was clearly wrong! Huehuehue! You actually didn't die for my attack... You died for the trees that my attack felled! Looking at the state of your body, I think it would be better if you exploded. At least it would hurt less!"

I approach the monster's body and start observing its state

"Hmm... looking at these marks on the ground it seems that before you died suffocated, you tried desperately to get out from under the trees. If it were one or two trees you probably would have made it. However, here we have more than ten! Huehuehue... my friend, I have to say- Your Lucky sucks! Well, hopefully this will be the last time I see this kind of monster! Huehue-"

At that moment I have to hear Elizabeth's voice, in my head laughing

[Hahaha!]

"Huh? A,Are you laughing... at me? Did I say something funny E,Elizabeth? Elizabeth?"

After calling Elizabeth, I am silent to see if I can hear her voice again

However, even after a minute nothing happens

"Sigh! Maybe I'm going crazy! Anyway! I think I'm going to take that body out under those trees!"

I start analyzing the trees that are on top of Cat N ° 3's, trying to figure out which one to remove first

I spend almost ten minutes doing removing all the trees above the Rushed-Panther body

I took so long, because in addition to the trees themselves being already very heavy

When they fell the logs hooked on each other and so the weight of all the logs is shared

Thus, the time and difficulty of moving a single log increased several times

Having finished removing the upper logs from the body, I place my hands on my things and stretch slightly

Crack! Crack! Crack!

"Wow, from the sound you made, it looks like the bones in my back are rotten! Man, moving those logs was really tiring! Huehue! I didn't expect it would make me even more tired than when I was fighting Red!"

I approach the body and crouch, so while ignoring the strange position of the monster's body members

I use my hands to pierce the area where the monster's heart should be

While, my hands pierce the flesh of the Rushed-Panther, I think with anticipation

'Come on, man. Tell me you were smarter than the others two... '

At that moment, I feel my hands come in contact with a small sphere.

Feeling this, I don't think twice, and I grab it and pull that little sphere from the monster's chest

After doing this, I look at the bloody sphere in my hand

It's not very large, being a little smaller than a fist

It is completely yellow, however different from the Light Mana Orb, which was golden and shiny, this sphere is a yellow and opaque

While I'm looking at the Mana Orb in my hands with a silly smile, I hear a short beep followed by the notifications

[Wind Mana Orb detected!]

[Does the user want to start the Merger?]

[Yes / No!]

"Huh? Oh, I was so excited to get another Mana Orb, that I even forgot about it! Well, I have a feeling I know what's going to happen. However, let's do it anyway!"

[Yes / No!]

"Yes!"

[Answer accepted!]

[Processing...]

[Starting the Merge!]

[Processing...]

[Error...]

[Error...]

[The Merger failed!]

[The Mana Orb is not compatible with the host body!]

"Sigh! As expected, it doesn't work too! After all, what is the compatibility requirements so that I can absorb the Mana Orb? Well, whatever! Later I will go to Icarus Falls, there I will probably be able to absorb the Mana Orb. Anyway, I better get back to my base! However, I think I will take this guy with me!"

With that in mind, I start looking around looking for something that will help me transport it to my base

At this moment, some vineyards that are hanging from the trees catch my eye

'Vines, isn't it...'

"Oh, I had an idea!"

I quickly grab some vines that are hanging from the trees

After that, I take the monster's body and take it to the log I cut earlier

Once there, I place the Rushed-Panther's body on top of the log

So, using the vines I tie the two very tightly

"Phew! I think that the body should not fall in the middle of it!"

After doing this, I take the log with my hands and place it on my back

"Okay, let's go!"
