Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 300 Kill, Or Be Devoured



I stumbled and took another brief look at the creature that had almost killed me. There was an arrow shot through the creature\'s eye and out the other side of its head.

"You! Your father will pay for this!"

"Chez, you are making a mistake!"

"If you side with him, you are doomed!"

"We are inevitable!"

I could hear Carnage, but he was out of sight, so I wasted no time. I turned back around to follow the other two.

I was still stunned by the fact that I had just been saved by a centaur. One that had somehow been convinced by my wolf to come and help me.

The entire thing was going over my head, and I really wasn\'t sure what to make of it. The best thing that I could do at this point was just try to keep up with the other two as we headed north.

My body ached something fierce from getting batted around the forest by the giant monitor lizard, but I was slowly healing. I didn\'t have the same abilities as the monsters, but my body was doing its best to repair the damage that had been done, and breathing was getting easier.

"Sorry I couldn\'t get here sooner; you look like you are almost finished. Chez was about to shoot the beast when it was trying to eat you, but then you tried getting away, and he had to wait to get a better shot!" Howl explained to me as he fell in line beside me as Chez kept the lead.

"Well, it wasn\'t like I had that much of a choice at the time, and I didn\'t know you were back. Still, I am just glad that you were able to convince him," I said with some relief as It slowly became easier to breathe.

"About that. I didn\'t really need to do that much convincing. He seems to think you are something special, but I am not too sure. After the way that you handled that monster, I think he might be giving you a bit more credit than you are worth," Howl growled at me as we ran.

As much as I wanted to argue that I was usually stronger than this, Howl was right. I had just got my ass handed to me by a monster that I should have defeated with no problem.

"I question that very thing myself, but I don\'t have much of a choice. Either I kill Carnage, or he devours me; not much of a choice if you ask me," I sighed as I was able to pick up speed in the tall grass.

"You need to train if you want to get stronger. There is no other way. Or you die, but I don\'t think you will be reborn like me. You are like Chez in that respect, and he has gotten stronger by killing many foes much stronger than I," Howl explained, and I nodded.

[The wolf isn\'t wrong. Other than what you have done with the Primals, and the fighting you have done here and on Kubrick, you have had almost no training. It might not be such a bad idea to try and do some training. While you are powerful, you lack the proper skills to put your strengths to good use.] Harold explained as I ran.

While I had done some training in the tower this morning, that had been the extent of my training, and that was more about survival. I had yet to learn anything to do with actual fighting other than what I already knew.

Wrestling wasn\'t really that good for fighting monsters that were bigger than ones or me with natural weapons. Even though Carnage was scared of my getting close to him, he had razor-sharp teeth.

If I took him down, there is a very good chance that he could land a fatal bite if I wasn\'t careful. There was also the chance that I was just being lulled into a false sense of security.

There were so many things that could go wrong, but it wasn\'t like I could just give up and leave. Hopefully, this Chez will be able to help me in some way.

I was interested in learning why he was so keen to help me. It was not every day that a monster went out of his way to help me; most of them just wanted to kill me.

The centaur was much taller than me, but he looked like I had the same sized torso. It was the large horse body that set him up so high.

Still, even with the massive equestrian body, the man moved with a grace that I could never match. This centaur was much different than what I remembered seeing in books.

His chestnut brown horse body was massive like an average horse with his back coming up to my shoulders. I wondered if he would let me ride, but then that might be weird.

Suddenly the grass became short and trimmed like it had been when we had gotten to Karl\'s area.

Thinking of Karl made me think of Carnage and the warning he had just uttered as we ran away. I wasn\'t sure what it meant to this centaur, but I didn\'t want more people to die just because of me if they didn\'t have to.

As bad as the centaurs might have seemed at first, the monsters were here from them to kill to get stronger. I was concerned that Carnage might start killing more people just to make an example of them and draw me out.

[Not very likely. The threat would be valid if this was any other ring, but we are immortals, and Sagittarius is nothing more than a shade like me. He doesn\'t care if his children are killed. Neither of us can affect the physical world here, but this also keeps us from Carnage. Sagittarius also won\'t care if all his children were killed because only Chez and Riel are his children.] Libra explained.
