Chapter 22: Chapter 08



"Have you lost your mind!? I've never had a child this ugly! I don't want him! Take him away from me!" Woman

"You've gone mad! You had an affair with that guy yourself and you gave him to me!? Bastard, even prostitutes have more brains than you!"

"You yourself don't have anything except your cunning brain! You~!

~!

..

"Is it all done?"

..

"Is it done?"

...

"Done?"

....

Is it done? ????? Everything?

A black figure with golden eyes and strange fangs appeared in the middle of the argument in the living room... Time stopped... Only the child peeking through the slightly open door of the room could move...

"Let's see what's behind this door."

Smiling widely, opening the door and wanting to catch the boy's head and...

"Master! It's morning, breakfast is ready!

"Eh? What was that? I can't remember.."

Kraugel woke up on the bed and beside him was Gumi tugging at his legs to get down...

Ah right, just a dream Thank goodness

Kraugel smiled at Gumi, and followed Gumi into Auntie's living room last night, as Auntie prepared their simple breakfast...

"Then where do you want to go next? Kraugel" Auntie

"Ah, I think I'll go to the Kingdom, there's a lot I want to find out"

"Hmm~ I see, then you want to take Gumi along on your trip?" Aunt

"Yeah, well, she really wants to come anyway."

Kraugel remembered Gumi who had bothered her last night before going to bed, asking her to take her wherever Kraugel went...

Gumi finished her breakfast quickly and instead looked at Kraugel's breakfast plate...

..

"Well, you can eat mine if you're still hungry"

Gumi immediately jumped into Kraugel's lap and scooped up Kraugel's vegetables and roast horse meat...

Well anyway I still have some more business before leaving [Kraugel]

Kraugel stood up and left the chair and table for the exit.

"Gumi finish your meal, then help your aunt clean the dishes, I have some business..."

"Fumu, be careful." Gumi

Kraugel walked through the village street, greeted by the villagers and of course Ernie who gave him a sweet smile... he continued walking until he reached the river he had seen when he first arrived in this world...

It's a stupid gamble anyway, just thinking that the Otherworld already has a lot of things that are unnatural to the point of contradicting my previous World Logic means that at least my guess is still based...

Kraugel touched the river drinking water with his palm, and was surprised to realize that his guess was correct!

"Damn, that's really salty water! What if the Ocean is not even salt water (upside down).. this is worth using!"

Kraugel went back to the Village, took some Village Workers, motivated them to earn more money and please their Wives.. and so it began! SALT PROCESSING!

From that Morning, to this Afternoon! They managed to create 1 medium bag of coarse salt after taking approximately 5 buckets of water and boiling it for a long time...

"T-This! Strange! What flavor is this!"

Said one of the old men who tried the salt...

"This is what I would call Salt! It can give your tongue a pleasant flavor when combined with other Spices!" Kraugel

"Uh, you mean this is going into food?!"

"Yes, of course! Let's take it right now!"

They all flocked back to the village, wanting to restart the big meal like the previous time but the difference this time was that the food would be flavored with salt!, but...

"Finished?"

"Yes, the stock of horse meat that the knights gave you has run out..." Aunt

"Don't worry, I'll bring you some other meat. Just wait!"

Said Kraugel who was already excited and left Auntie's house for the forest with Gumi...

Getting out of the village far enough with maximum speed with Buff [Haste] speeds up the movement to several kilometers in just a few moments...

This should be enough for one village tonight...

Kraugel looked at the swarm of brown pigs led by another pig that was much bigger than the others running around as if looking for food at the same time...

That one was the size of a car. Crazy!

Jumped in front of them, stopping them in their tracks...

By the way I just realized, since last night I messed with my Skill Board. I don't need a recitation anymore to activate the Magic Skill, and my Skill Class that modifies the form of the recitation until the production of magic will be replaced by modifying the time, location & visual of the magic circle created by the skills listed in this world. So that everything becomes shorter and no longer requires specific recitation ... and this is the right time to try some...

[ Multi-Chant Spell ]

[ Icy Bullet ]!

Quickly creating 3 magic circles behind Kraugel, each of them fired dozens of sharp icy bullets that pierced the enemies within its range...

The leader can withstand the bullets huh... I guess his skin is pretty tough...

[ Black Lightning ]!

Spraying out a stream of black electricity from the magic circle in his hand, aiming it with Kraugel's mind at his opponent...

"Khiekk!"

The car-sized pig was knocked down until its fur was burned off.

Yeah even I don't need a specific chant for Black Lightning anymore... usually it's something like "Strike" or "Charge"! Or "Burst"..

"By the way Gumi, are you okay? Why don't you just stay in the village instead of tiring of following me around?"

"Hehehe, Gumi wants to get stronger so Gumi can fight alongside Master! And leave no one behind" Gumi

Maybe that incident motivates her...

"Let's go! Back to the village!"

Kraugel said after putting all the pigs' bodies into the Inventory...
