How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

Page 108

Tears welled up in Hill's eyes, but she couldn't help but cry.

76. The Enraged Hill

I really miss it.

I was also completely overwhelmed by goblins when I first went into the dungeon.

Sirocco understood Cass's feelings as a photographer, and he also wanted to take a picture to record his sister's tearful face.

However, he wouldn't do that; it would be too despicable, and his sister might hate him for it.

"If even this guy finds it disgusting, then things are going to get a bit complicated. There are creatures with flowers growing from their heads, monsters that look like carnivorous plants, and even creatures covered in sticky tentacles..."

"Ugh! Brother, you didn't deliberately bring Hill to this disgusting place to grind monsters, did you?!"

Hill got goosebumps from Sirocco's words and wildly swung his longsword.

"No, no." (Feeling guilty).

"Your brother is a pervert, a pervert, a complete pervert! Hill is never talking to you again!"

I brought Hill here purely because the carnivorous plants here are very weak monsters.

It's not just that it looks scary; it takes half a day to digest one Explorer.

Occasionally, explorers will deliberately let it swallow them, then cut them open from the inside with a weapon and kill them.

The only problem is that it smells terrible when it comes out of its digestive system, and it's quite difficult to wash off.

This monster is agile, has decent mobility, and is a very large target, making it difficult to miss. It's perfect as a monster for beginners to practice with.

The carnivorous plant had reached within 3 meters of Hill.

Looking up at the enormous body of the man-eating plant, Hill momentarily gave up thinking.

"Look ahead! Hill! It's already within your attack range!"

Yes, that's what I'm here for.

A reminder from Sirocco pulled Hill back to her senses, and she gritted her teeth.

If you can't even handle the monsters in this beginner village, how can you talk about protecting your brother?

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

With a battle cry tinged with sobs, Hill aimed his sword at the orange-yellow part beneath the carnivorous plant's flower and slashed.

The carnivorous plant gently stepped back to avoid the attack.

Oh no, this monster has such a high evasion rate!

Realizing she had made a mistake, Hill pulled back her sword to readjust her posture. The carnivorous plant seized the opportunity, bound her feet, and with incredible strength, easily hoisted her up.

"Wow!"

Hill's entire field of vision was reversed, and he was hanging upside down, with the disgusting flower and gaping mouth of the man-eating flower right in front of him.

"No...don't come near me! Don't come any closer!"

Hill's eyes widened with fear, and his voice trembled.

The giant carnivorous plant seemed to be enjoying itself, swaying the upside-down Hill from side to side, and as if teasing her, it stretched out its vines towards her, but they were all cut down by Hill's frantically waving sword.

The damage was sufficient, but it didn't hit any weak points.

Sirocco had already mastered tying her long hair into a ponytail, which, combined with her trench coat, made her look like a cold-blooded female assassin.

He made sure no other monsters were approaching, then placed his hand on the hilt of the broadsword at his waist, preparing to go and provide support.

Wait a moment.

It's great that he can show his brother's handsomeness and reliability in front of his sister.

Is it really a good idea to make a move so quickly?

This is the first monster Hill has ever fought, so it would be better for her to handle it herself, wouldn't it?

It gives her a sense of accomplishment and the joy of defeating monsters...

Unfortunately, Sirocco didn't get a chance to make a move.

Hill's fear lasted only a short time.

"Don't come any closer... Didn't you hear me?!"

The girl with pale yellow twin ponytails let out a roar filled with anger. Instead of panicking, she gripped her sword and used it to sever the vines binding her feet, causing her body to fall.

It was unclear whether it was the agility boost from the light armor or because Hill was in the badminton club at school. As she fell, she spun 365 degrees in the air like a diver before plummeting downwards—

"Hey."

"Whoa—!! Brother?!"

Sirocco caught Hill, whose face flushed slightly, but her gaze quickly fell on the carnivorous plant.

She quickly flipped over, rushed towards the man-eating plant, and hurled her longsword, smashing it into the plant's gaping maw.

"Gaya ya ya!!"

The man-eating plant let out a scream typical of plant-type monsters, staggering backward as it tried to pull out the longsword stuck in its mouth with its vines, thus exposing the weak point of the orange-yellow part below its flower.

Although the giant carnivorous plant reacted to Hill's approach by extending all its vines, before the vines could even bend, the girl's right fist lashed out like lightning.

The silent jab struck its target beautifully, causing the carnivorous plant's body to stiffen from the impact, and the vines slowed their movement.

The hands are covered with gauntlets, which can also be used as boxing gloves.

Instead of retreating, the girl advanced, retracting her right hand and launching another fierce attack, this time with increasing punching speed. Her fist was enveloped in a pale golden light, having been imbued with the talent .

"Gah ya ya ya!!!"

"Gaya!"

"Gah..."

The more it was beaten, the lower the screams of the man-eating flower became, and the more green sap it sprayed out.

The man-eating flower's stem was riddled with holes, and it was beaten to death.

Wow....

Sirocco broke out in a cold sweat and was speechless.

good....

Seems a bit too strong...?

Contrary to her docile appearance, she can be quite frightening when she's truly angry.

She's quite cute even when she's angry.

"—?"

A new plant scent filled the air.

He sensed something new happening around him and looked over...

"Hoo hoo... Hill, Hill did it! Did you see that just now, brother!"

Covered in sticky green sap, an excited Hill turned to Sirocco with a bright smile and waved vigorously.

Sirocco looked grim and drew his broadsword from its sheath.

"Eh?"

Hill was somewhat frightened by the unprecedentedly grim expression on Sirocco's face.

However, Sirocco is not targeting Hill.

He stepped forward, and with a flash of light, his blade slashed towards Hill's feet.

"Gaaaaaaahh ...

The vines at Hill's feet were cut off, and a new carnivorous plant appeared about 5 meters behind her.

"Even after you succeed, you need to be careful of your surroundings, Hill."

Sirocco moved to the vicinity of the man-eating flower in one step, pierced its weak point with his sword, and the man-eating flower fell down instantly.

"Oh, Hill understands."

Hill looked at him with admiration and took out his notebook to write it down.

Because everyone around me is of a higher level than me, I can only get a sense of satisfaction from showing off to my younger sister. I'm really pathetic...

Sirocco glanced at the man-eating flower carcass that Hill had created... to be precise, it was minced meat; at least in the end, she had indeed dealt with it all by herself.

Before that, she was just a middle school student, discussing exam questions in the classroom. She wasn't someone who aspired to become an explorer, and her training was completely different from those explorers who were trained from a young age and whose goal was to conquer the raiding group.

Despite some twists and turns, Hill still managed to defeat the monster head-on in her first real battle.

"Well done, Hill."

He extended his palm to Hill.

Hill seemed to realize something as well, put away his notebook, and wiped his hands clean.
