The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life

Chapter 12

Taking Momo with me, Im going to the nearby convenience store.

The road which wasnt like this until yesterday is tattered.

At least there are no monsters in the surroundings, but a different thing stood out.

Corpses.

Goblin or Orc?

Dead bodies that had been attacked, hurt and torn were scattered here and there.

Uwah So disgusting..

WithoutStress toleranceId have definitely vomited.

The appearance is terrible, yeah, but the smell is even more terrible than that.

Fishy smell of meat and blood. My nose is going crazy.

Flies are gathered, attracted by the putrid smell.

The corpse of a woman was particularly terrible.

Probably raped right before she died.

Uu..

Momo also seems to be considerably overwhelmed.

The olfaction of dogs is much better than humans, it should be much harder than for me.

Momo, are you okay? After all, you can wait at the back if you want?

When I say so, Momo shakes its head and rubs her body on me.

Its fine, it says to me to not worry.

Well, lets go ahead.

Wan.

Walking again.

It probably came half a distance from the convenience store.

Because Im moving while holding my breath so it takes quite a while.

There was a response from Hostility perception.

At the corner ahead I feel the presence of a monster with Awareness.

Momo, stop.

With my voice, Momo stops moving.

Slowly, I walk close to the wall to look at whats behind there.

Whoa, a zombie?

It is a zombie.

Like in the pandemic movie, the familiar zombies are roaming the town.

Its not the resident of the town that became zombies.

The clothes worn are tattered, and part of the exposed skin is rotten.

Even if you are bitten and become a zombie, you wont become like that in just two days.

In other words, they might be monsters.

What will happen if I am bitten?

Am I going to be a zombie?

Or rather, are physical attacks effective on them?

If it comes to a movie or something, the head would be the weak point, but..

Im staring at the zombies with Observation.

Their movement is dull.

Perhaps if I drop the washing machine over their head, they will definitely get crushed.

However, unlike the time with the Goblin, if youre using a washing machine here itll surely stands out.

Its best to only crush the head quietly.

I have to go through here, it will be too long to make a detour.

Fortunately, there are no other monsters.

Lets crush it.

Can I use this..

I took out Dumbbell (Weight 10Kg)

Its not my belonging, but one from another residents of the same apartment.

As a blunt weapon, it have an unprecedented killing ability.

With my current status, I can hold it easily.

Im approaching without being noticed trying to one-hit the zombie.

The moment the zombie had turned his back on us, I rush at once.

Its okay. Thanks to Covert actionand Stealthy stepsmy actions hasnt been realized.

With my fast approach, I attempt to brandish the iron dumbbell.

At that moment, the zombie suddenly turns to my direction.

A aaaa ?

Perhaps it was a coincidence.

It just changed direction.

But at that moment, I am surprised and my body becomes stiff.

Dangerous, hell beat me, or so I thought.

But surprisingly, the zombie stopped his movement.

As if it is bound by something.

Eh.. ?

In fact, its like that.

Something blacktied around the zombies body impeding his movement.

SinceObservationhad risen, I was able to , even in this situation, recognize that shape.

Its a shadow.

My shadow is unnaturally stretched and is holding the body of the zombie.

What do you mean?

I dont have this skill.

So who?

Wan!

Momos voice.

Noway you?

There is no confirmation.

But I thought it was the shibas doing somehow.

Momo runs and approaches me.

And, as the distance between Momo and me decreases, the shadows power constraining the zombie gets stronger.

The zombie is completely blocked from moving and even the mouth isnt able to move.

If its like that, now!

Im brandishing the iron dumbbell again!

SFX:Gong, a dull sound resounds.

The zombie fell on the spot.

Earning experience points

The announcement sounded in my head.

It seems that the head was a weakness after all.

The corpse of a zombie- No, because hes dead from the beginning, its strange to say corpse, but the corpse of the zombie disappears.

Then a small red magic stone rolls.

The magic stone of the zombies are red?

Quickly, I collect it inside my Item box.

When I check,Zombies magic stone (Minimal) x1 Unitis displayed.

Take it out again, I show the stone to Momo.

Here, Momo. You want to eat this?

Wan!

Momo ate the magic stone which I gave to her happily.

After Momo has finished eating, I ask.

Hey, Momo. Did you possibly help me just now?

Wan!

Momo nods while shaking its fluttery tail.

Kawaii.

But, how could it be that?

Shadow manipulation Skill

Im not aware of the name, but probably Momo has the skill to do so.

This is most likely because of the magic stone I gave earlier.

Shadow Wolfs Magic stone. Shadow (Kage) how the name imply, that dog should be able to use this skill.

Did you eat the magic stone and obtain the skill residing within Momo?

How I wonder? Such a feeling in the air brings the consideration for a line.

Then lets ask.

Momo, the reason why you could use the previous skill is because I gave you Magic stones?

Wan.

When I say so, its body rubbing against me.

Praise me. Because I did my best, praise me.

Of course, Ill praise. Stroking. Kawaii.

Humm, if you eat the magic stones, do you acquire the skills?

But I cant eat them.

Is it just Momo?

Besides that, are other animals Or maybe monsters too?

But if this hypothesis is correct, monsters will also have Skills and Levels.

Momo, what you did earlier, can you make it again?

Wan!

When I ask Momo, the shape of my shadow move and change as before.

Its a movement that clearly ignores any law of physic and common sense.

When I checked various things, the shadows Momo can manipulate is just its own or mine.

The effective range is about ten meters.

The closer the distance, the stronger the power of the shadow.

Its not able to move in three dimensions, but it can only move as it crawl over to an object.

And then, theShadows restraint will be broken against a stronger individual.

Using myself as a test subject, if I use all my strength, I can resist the shadows restraint. This isnt to the extent of being almighty.

But its pretty usable.

Shadow manipulationskill.

This is very compatible with my Covert action.

Approaching withCovert action,Shadowcan stop the movement and I can crush them with my home appliances.

Thats a wonderful combo.

After that, I and Momo make a simple arrangement and we restart our movement.

Three times we encountered a zombie or a Goblin, but thanks to the great success of Momos Shadow, I killed them without danger.

However, my level didnt rise.

After all, the experience value obtained by different type of monsters might be different.

And also, the value of experience necessary for a level up would increase at every level.

Then, after about 20 minutes after leaving the apartment.

Fuuh.. Finally arrived..

Wafuuu.

Finally, we were arrived at the convenience store.
