I took Signe's body to hide in a nearby cave.
I didn't blame the fireplace for attracting the monsters, so I hid in the dark cave with only the moon for light.
"...in the end, you died too..."
I muttered while looking at the dead Signe with a very calm expression.
I was used to someone dying, but it seemed like this body was shivering with fear. After all, everything that happened before happened so fast that there wasn't even time to contemplate the death of all the other members.
But after everything calmed down, my body couldn't stop trembling.
"Haa... What should I do now?"
With darkness like this, I'm at a disadvantage. Since I don't have night eyes yet, I can't see this dark forest clearly. It would be dangerous if I tried to get out of here.
The only options are to hide until discovered or wait for morning. Either way, I have to survive until sunrise.
"It looks like it's going to be a bit difficult..."
I said awkwardly as I saw several goblins approaching this way.
I immediately hid in a crevice of the cave while waiting for them to approach. Goblins don't have night eyes, so we both don't benefit from the darkness but my eyes are used to the darkness of the cave so I have a slight advantage.
I raised the sword I took from Signe, the sword I used was already broken but since Signe's sword was too big I had to kill these few goblins quickly before they shouted for help.
"Kiik! Kyakkyak!"
"Giii! Gihigihi!"
The 2 goblins who were talking to each other advanced forward while looking a bit quarrelsome leaving 1 goblin behind them.
As the two goblins moved away completely and the goblin left behind approached. I immediately cut off the goblin's head with my sword.
"!!"
By the time the goblin saw me, its head had already fallen to the ground.
Hearing a voice, the two goblins who were fighting looked back and found me.
One of the goblins tried to blow the whistle around his neck but I immediately threw this huge sword at his head.
There was only one goblin left but that goblin immediately pulled out a knife from his waist and attacked me blindly.
"Gyaakkk!!!"
"Are you afraid to die?"
"Kiik! Gyakk!"
While dodging the goblin's attack, I clenched my fist and punched the goblin when I saw an opening.
"Gyaakk!!!"
"Your voices are very unpleasant to hear, so just shut up..."
While saying so, I punched the goblins to death.
Looking at the corpses of the goblins, I smiled happily at a blessing in this desperate situation.
Leaving the corpses of the goblins in front of the cave to keep the other monsters away, I started picking up the remaining food supplies and eating them.
While eating, I thought of the goblins' flesh. In the past, thanks to eating the flesh of monsters I could continue to live and be called an immortal cockroach or demon plus eating the flesh of monsters would increase my body's resistance to poison and many things.
In certain cases, I had learned skills from eating top-class monsters despite not having any cheat skills or 7 Deadly Sins skills.
Feeling indecisive, I decided to grab some goblin meat and eat it raw. And I ended up getting poisoned.
[Active Skill!]
And instantly my poison antidote ability activated.
"Hehe, it looks like it's going to be fun."
Then the night that should have been full of sadness was now filled with a night full of poison trials.
5 hours passed so quickly, and I looked at my poison resistance status.
[You Can Now Resist Level C Poisons]
After that, I ate the goblin meat but there was still no change, it seemed that this was the extent of the goblin meat poison. How boring...
When I woke up, I was just staring at the hollow ceiling of the cave.
My heart hurt, it hurt so much that it felt like it was being stabbed. The pain that I should have long forgotten started coming back to me. The pain of losing someone.
It seemed like I just wanted to forget today's events, that's why I kept moving actively. After there's nothing left, I only remember today's memories...
(Beautiful moon...)
While trying to close my eyes to try to sleep, a voice rang out. I immediately stood up and alerted myself.
"Grrr..."
This familiar voice, the voice that created today's tragedy...Slime Dark Wolf was making his rounds.
I held my breath and didn't move so as not to make a sound. If I get caught, then that's it. I can't die for Signe's sacrifice.
After a few seconds that felt like hours passed, the Slime Dark Wolf left.
"Hufft..."
Automatically, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Grr..."
Instantly, my eyes looked up where I could see Slime Dark Wolf's eyes staring at me.
"Ah-"
*Brak*
Slime Dark Wolf immediately attacked the cave and destroyed the cave. I managed to run away from the attack but I couldn't calm down yet.
I immediately ran deeper into the cave while Slime Dark Wolf who was a little confused because the smoke from the cave he destroyed blocked his view.
As I ran, I began to realize something about this cave.
(What's with this cave? It's not a natural cave, but it doesn't feel like an artificial cave either.)
Looking at the strange structure in the cave, I got a little chills. I've seen similar structures, though not always caves, sometimes ruins, buildings and many other types of places. But all of them have in common that it's a place where a Soul Weapon is located.
(Is there a soul weapon here? If so, I must make a contract with the soul weapon as soon as possible-)
As I was thinking, my instincts told me to dodge. I immediately tried to dodge but it seems I didn't manage to dodge completely and I was thrown into the cave wall.
"Agkh!"
I vomited blood as soon as I hit the wall, as if my internal organs were damaged from the collision.
With blurry vision, I looked ahead, to see Slime Dark Wolf who was already right in front of me.
Then the monster lashed out with its claws at me.
"Haha...damn..."
Just as I was starting to feel like there was no way out, a small voice sounded...
"Hey! There's someone! Moreover, he has a body with opposite elements!"
"Yes! We finally found someone who can use us!"
(Am I going crazy? I seem to be hearing the voices of a boy and a girl in the middle of the current situation...)
As I tried to close my eyes to await my impending death, the two voices started talking to me.
"Do you want to live?"
"Do you want strength?"
The 2 voices asked me...
"Ugh... isn't it... obvious... the answer..."
"Hmm, then shout our names!"
"Eh? No way..."
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
Both voices sounded surprised by my answer, but what the hell. I didn't want to deal with mere hallucinations, I at least wanted to die in peace.
"Eh!!! Why! Why! Why!"
"Right! Why! Why! Why!"
Instead of calming down, both voices bothered me even more. Wait, shouldn't that monster have killed me already?
When I looked up, I saw that it was moving very slowly.
"What? Why is it moving so slowly?"
"Hehe! Are you surprised? This is our power! So immediately say our name and make a contract with us!"
"Contract?"
It was only then that I realized that the two voices were not hallucinations but a voice from...
"Yes, make a contract with Weapon Soul [Twin Sword Of Emberfrost]"
"A Soul Weapon?"
"Yes, so don't just stand there, we can't stop the monster forever without the owner supplying us with energy."
"I just need to say your names don't I?"
"Yes, so hurry up damn it!"
For some reason I felt that the true nature of the boy's voice was starting to come through but I ignored it.
(If time slows down, I can make good use of this time.)
I decided to ignore what the boy's voice said and opened the system.
"Oi! Why are you being so quiet! Hurry up and say our names!"
"Shut up, I'm concentrating."
I opened the shop and searched for items that were good for the current situation with the current points but in the end there were no useful items.
"What the hell..."
"What the hell are you muttering! Hurry up and mention our names! I can't take this anymore!"
I then pressed the add button.
[Do You Want to Increase Shop Selection?]
[2500 Villain Points Required]
"Yes!"
And instantly the selection of items in the shop increased and a notification appeared.
[You have upgraded the Shop Selection, you get the Item [Return To That Day]!]
Instantly a pill appeared from my hand, I tried to figure out the effect of the pill and was surprised.
"Oi damn-"
I turned towards the monster.
"I'll revenge my members this time."
Then I ate the pill and shouted.
"Come Twin Sword Of Emberfrost!"
