Reincarnation Sim Game

“Those are flying scorpions.” Checo hissed. The muscles on his face tightened.

“Huh?” Diego widened his eyes. “Don’t talk nonsense, Checo! Their habitat is very far! They couldn’t have come here!”

“Whatever it is, I don’t think they’re anything good.” Checho took a curved trumpet from his waist. “So, run!”

Diego and Checo immediately ran through the fields while Elise froze in confusion. The buzzing sounds were getting more deafening.

“What are you doing, Elise!?” Raymund grumbled. “Run with them!”

Just as the beasts finally came out of the forest, Elise got up and eventually ran along, past the waist-high plants. Checo was blowing his trumpet loudly.

Elise looked back and gasped at the sight of the hideous dark-colored beasts. They are about one-third the size of an average human and have a pair of large pincers in their hands. They also have a tail with a sharp tip that curves forward. They are definitely scorpions. What distinguishes them from ordinary scorpions, among others, is their higher legs, like the feet of grasshoppers. However, what stands out the most are the wings on their backs, similar to those of dragonflies._.

“Shit! This is why I always ask for extra guards!” Diego grumbled, not realizing that a flying scorpion was swooping down on him.

Checo turned, then ran and jumped. He put his foot on one of Diego’s shoulders to propel himself higher.

“Heaah!!!” The man then hit the flying scorpion’s head with his club. White liquid splattered in all directions, and Checo managed to land by rolling among the fields. However, another scorpion was already flying low toward him.

Elise dashed past Checo, then accelerated high, jumping while drawing her sword forward. Elise’s charging thrust managed to hit the scorpion, which eventually fell to the ground.

“Thanks.” Checo looked amazed at Elise, who now drew her sword from the monster. The female warrior grimaced as she looked at her sword, which was covered in a foaming white liquid.

“Come on, we still have to get out of here,” Checo said to the woman.

The two ran again while the scorpions flew only a few meters away from their head.

“Don’t let them arrive at the workers’ village!!!” A loud voice could be heard from a distance. “Attack!!!”

Arrows, fireballs, sharp ices, and flashes of electricity came at the scorpions in the air. Many of the monsters were crushed, splattered white liquid, then landed down.

Elise got goosebumps with disgust when she was hit by the liquids. Especially to the skin that is not protected by clothing. The liquid felt sticky and warm and made her uncomfortable. However, she was grateful she didn’t have to face them again. The monsters didn’t come near her anymore, perhaps because their attention was distracted by the other attackers.

“Shit, more and more of them are coming!” Checo hissed, looking increasingly anxious.

“Arrrgggghhh!!!” A male magic user was grabbed by one of the scorpions. “Let me go!!!”

Elise was horrified when she saw the scorpion split the man’s body in two and release him from a height. The feeling of wanting to vomit instantly hit that woman.

“As expected, they don’t attack to eat us because humans are not their prey.” Checho gulped. “We can only run. As melee warriors, we won’t be of much use here…. Oh, I don’t know your name yet.”

“Elise.”

“I’m Sergio, but you can call me Checo.” Checo gave a bitter smile. “Nice to meet you, Elise. Too bad we have to meet at a time like this.”

More and more scorpions were arriving. Many of the guards were overwhelmed and ended up killed by the monsters.

“Kyaa!!!” Elise screamed as the upper body of a woman fell in front of her. However, Checo grabbed her hand, making her keep running.

“We’re hiding here!” Checo then took Elise to hide behind a giant rock almost three times as high as an adult.

“They came from a place where there shouldn’t be many monsters, in an area I guard. The forest experts say that the section isn’t filled with monsters because there are big carnivorous flowers there.” Checo explained breathlessly. “It’s a miracle we’re still alive.”

“No wonder there was so little guard in that place,” Raymund concluded.

The guard’s formation began to disintegrate, causing the scorpions to fly in all directions to catch those who were running.

“There doesn’t seem to be any sign of the situation calming down.” Checo chuckles in frustration.

“So, the plan is to hide until the monsters are gone?” Raymund snorted. “If this continues, there will be no progress. Elise, you go up and use your whirlwind attack while jumping. I know you’ve never used your technique like that, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it. There’s no pressure. If successful, you will make significant progress by killing many monsters. Otherwise, you are just waiting for your death to come. Well, you won’t really die. You will come back here with slightly more severe injuries.”

Elise’s body felt like it was being electrocuted after hearing that. In fact, she thought that she was not very skilled at using that technique, even on the ground. She had only executed it a few times, and her last opponents were cute colorful jelly monsters.

“So, you choose to just die?” Raymund pushed his servant even more. “Okay, then.”

Elise bit the corner of her lip. If she gave up, then someone else would die. This situation is almost like when she fought the goblins. Maybe this plan would fail, but Elise felt that she would be very sorry if she didn’t try.

“They haven’t flown in one direction. That means they are still hunting for the guards and haven’t headed to the village yet.” Checo rubbed his face.

Those words made Elise’s heartbeat even more. Finally, she got up and started climbing that big rock.

“Hey, what are you doing!?” Checo immediately caught Elise’s leg. “Don’t do anything reckless!”

“Kick him! We have no time left!” Raymund snapped.

“Sorry.” Elise kicked Checo in the face with the heel. The unexpected attack made Checo fall with his nose bleeding.
