Blade Online - Chapter 4

I somehow stand up while enduring the pain of being slammed to the ground. After that I remember the damage of falling in high places…but I confirmed that there is no change in HP bar. I don’t know if that is because of the bug but it seems that there is no falling damage. If that’s the case, I wanted you to make it not to have pain when falling.

Still, what is this place?. Though I understand the thing that huge trees grows in the forest but there should not have a place like this in 《Wild Forest》. And also, the atmosphere is different. I can’t explain it well but, there is an unpleasant atmosphere that flows here. It seems that there is something lurking or its just me being insecure.
I opened the Status screen to confirm my current location. Status screen can only be displayed by using your mind to call it to appear. Rather than displaying it in your view, it may correct to say that its appearing in your mind. The Status screen can’t be seen by another person other than you.
There is a function in the Status screen that indicates your present location. I frowned when I confirmed the location where I am.
Current Location…《Blood Forest》.
Where is this. There is no such dungeon when I played the beta-version. So that means that its monsters are higher level than 《Wild Forest》. This might be bad. If you got careless, it is possible that monster’s attacks are one hit instant death.

I tried to look around for a while but I don’t know if there is something in distant because of the trees. I don’t know when the light of the sun that leaks in the gap of the leafs will lost but, I have no choice but to move.
Because this world’s time is the same as Reality, there is Morning, Lunch and evening also season and weather changed. It seems that its now afternoon. The view will become worst if the night comes and there is also a possibility of nocturnal monsters.
It can’t be helped. I’m going to explore.

〈bakibakibaki〉, The sound of breaking the branch continues and beast’s low groan resounds. After that, something in the ground moves with a 〈shakashaka〉 was heard, The ground trembles.

(TLN: again, shakashaka is rattle-rattle.)
I hid behind the moss covered green tree and saw monsters fighting. My breath became rough and the sound of the heart is noisy because of the tension.

A huge bear like thing has been discovered sleeping when I search for a while. It lays on the ground in the shape of 大 and snoring, certainly its a monster. And also its level is high.
Monster’s name is displayed above the HP bar. However, in case when monster’s level is considerably higher than me, it displayed as 『???』. Above the HP bar of the bear is in question mark. In other words, its level is considerably higher than me.
That fact that its sleeping now is that it’s a nocturnal monster. It would not wake up unless provoked. Let the sleeping dogs lie, I’ll ignore this.
And when I though so, suddenly there is a purple liquid sticking in the abdomen of the bear. I heard a sound that something melts and the bear’s HP is slightly decreasing.
The bear woke up.
slowly standing up and opened its blood shoot eyes wide, It opens its large mouth and roars. It was so powerful that I was not able stand. I immediately kneeled and closed my ears. Perhaps this bear have a skill in the Intimidating system. Intimidating system makes the movement slow of the person whose level is lower than me.
Its more dangerous than I expected. I can’t escape and can only be killed if I got found.
After finishing its roar, It glared to someone who disturbed his sleep. It’s line of sight was in the Giant Scorpion. Its smaller than the bear but considering common sense, its quite big. Its whole body is covered in red shell. Its seems quite hard.
Three scorpion surrounding the bear with their six feet. It seems its level is high because of its name is not being displayed.. It appears that this forest’s monster’s level are more than higher than mine. Hey, Management. Help me fast.

The bear and scorpions are glaring each other. The first who moved is the scorpions. It simultaneously charged together to the bear, it strikes with those pincers. The bear’s HP decreased around 10 percent. The bear swung its claw downward towards to the scorpion on its front. A thick sound echoes like a two irons striking each other. It seems that scorpion’s shell was hard as expected. Still, The Scorpion’s HP was shaved about 30% by receiving that attack. The offensive power of the bear is something to be scared of.
The bear’s attack does not stop. Striking the other two with its claws. The bear swung its arms with a 〈bunbun〉, striking the scorpions. Its somehow surreal. The scorpion is also not losing. The point of the tail where there is a lump was stab into the bear. At the same time that the bear’s HP decreased it changes in violet. The poisoned status. Is it poisoned as I expected?

(TLN: Bunbun is Buzz-buzz, Buzzing )

The HP decreased little by little when in poisoned status. Its possible to erase it you drink the antidote though you can be free from poisoned status by letting it pass for a while, being in a poisoned status while fighting a strong enemy is awful.

10 minutes after the fight of the bear and scorpions. Though the HP of the three scorpion was shave in half, the bear’s HP was decreased below half until it was orange. With a thing of bear’s poisoned status, the scorpions are in overwhelming adavantage.
The meat was torn off by the attack of pincers in 3 different directions, The bear’s HP is finally rushing to read zone. I, who was secretly peeking from the shadow of the tree was convinced of the victory of Scorpions.
At that moment.

Guooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

After the roar, The bear’s whole body begun to shine in in bright red. Eyes sparks in read, the fang’s lengthen and the mouth became big. What on earth is this. I have not seen this phenomenon like this.

The bear strike one scorpion. The sturdy shell got smashed into pieces, Scorpion’s HP bar is completely shaved. Though the remaining scorpions stab its tail to make the bear in poisoned status, its shell was crushed and died afterwards. The scorpions disappears and became light. The bear raised a roar of victory.

There is no way that I can win such a monster…. Even though its endurance is almost 0, I don’t want to approach that guy who pulverized those Scorpion’s shell. The poisoned status has been healed, its HP will recover little by little for a while. Before that, lets run away.

To stand up, I held the tree where I was hidden until now. Thereupon, a moist feeling of the tree was transmitted.

「Aa」

Somehow, it seems the tree is rotten and became fragile. Its collapsing as it is. And after that, The bear-san whose whole body is in bright red is. The collapsing tree is hitting the bear.
This is bad, I’ll get noticed! A bear scream was head somewhere when I was hurrying to escape. When I turned around timidly, the bear became a grain of light and goes up to the sky.

E?

Level up sound was heard in my mind. Rather than that, I heard it in great succession.

〈pon〉, You became level 2. 〈pon〉, You became level 3 〈pon〉, You became level 4 〈pon〉, You became level 5 〈pon〉, You became level 6.

The electronic sound that I heard in beta version was in succession and I was jumping in delight.
……
Afterwards, The sound stopped after I became level 26. Next is the words appears in my mind.
