In Another World Where Religion Prohibits Anal !

24. Survive ! for more..

It was apparently called ‘The Calamity Bear’ - a monster type creature who was a class B beast which I learned later. William and two guys were in position at the front with their weapons out, Rachel was chanting something just a few steps behind them while I saw Irene running and taking a position from where she could aim better. 

I was pretty surprised by the monster's size but quickly I regained my composure. I looked around and checked in all directions whether other monsters were there or not and luckily I didn't see any. 

The crazed bear had reached to where the adventurers stood ready and soon everything fell into a chaos. The vanguard tried to stop the charge with the help of Irene's arrows and Rachel’s light balls, but they were swept aside. Then Rachel released more powerful magic from up-close in the face of the bear, but it just slowed him down for a bit but it was enough time for the William and other guys to stab and slice at the bear’s back. 

The bear roared and focused on the three guys and swung his big powerful hand towards them which all of them barely dodged. The bear’s movement stopped a little as it re aimed at the three guys but the few seconds were enough for an arrow to find his way directly in one of the bear's eyes making him screech and roar like never before.

That was the last straw - whatever sanity the bear had left at that movement and it just started thrashing and charging at everything that was in his sight. The adventurers tried several times to get near it but were thrown away and were badly injured. Rachel was doing the most damage with her light balls but she was almost out of breath and her steps slowed down a lot too. Irene attracted the bear’s attention by attacking it with several arrows then when it reached her she removed her tachi and started dodging and slicing at the giant bear. She was much more efficient than the three guys but she was barely dodging every attack and couldn’t keep up for long. It was just a desperate attempt to get the attention of the bear away from Rachel and to her anyway. 

Then Irene finally missed timing on one of the bear’s attacks and took it directly to her left side barely blocking it with her tachi, but that wasn’t the worst thing. Her rhythm and balance was lost and the next attack from the left paw of the bear was coming straight at the archer girl. 

‘Taak’ ‘tak’ ‘tak’ ‘ tak’ ‘tak’ ‘ttaakkk’ ‘tak’ ‘tak’

The attack stopped in mid air and there was blood spraying from everywhere on Large bear’s body but mainly from its face and chest. 

I still didn’t take any chances and unloaded another round of my assault rifle into the various parts of the big bear. When the bear finally fell on its back, everyone released their breath collectively.

*Ding*

[ B rank monster The Calamity Bear has been defeated.]

[ Host has been rewarded with 100 survival points. ]

After some 15 minutes of the incident i was sitting at the temporary resting place with Stanley and his wife with their maid and Irene who was healed by Rachel. She just had light bruises, the most badly hurt was the three guys. Rachel was with them right now, they were in our carriage. The kids were standing near me too, they looked shaken but were more or less calm.

Stanley - A class B monster just attacking us for no reason ? What’s with that ?

Irene - We don’t know that it was wild the moment we saw it. Headed straight towards us like in a frenzy. None of us would have survived if it wasn’t because of..of..him. 

Stanley - Lad..? You can fight too ?

Hikaru - I am also an adventurer. But that wasn’t because of just me, if only I would have attacked faster…

Irene - You didn’t even know what was going on until it reached us. You were fast enough for me. I would have definitely died if it wasn’t for you.   

Hikaru - I just did what needed to be done, it was my first time seeing something like that too…

Irene just nodded at that and we all continued sipping the tea - the maid had made to calm us down.

When I was finally left alone I instantly said “ Status “ and the half transparent screen became visible. What were the survival points ? I was certain that when I first came to this world I was asked to buy skills with my karma points and not survival points.

The main page showed a little blinking icon in the corner so I touched it and the messages that were earlier spoken in my head were written there. And it did say survival points, so i touched it and it brought me to another screen that said,

[ Convert points ]

[ 1 karma points equal to 10 survival points. ]

And there were another small buttons in the each corner of the screen that said,

[Karma skill & class store] [ Survival store ] 

Well isn’t this something now. I thought I would only get one chance to choose a skill and class but there is still some room left to manoeuvre. And what's this absurd rate of conversion ? I got 100 points for a class B monster and this shit says it will only be 10 karma points ? it’s a clear scam ! ohh what is this survival store ?  

I opened the survival store and it showed various products with their description and price. It filled the whole screen and there was still an option for scrolling down. It was a huge collection of Armor, weapons and various accessories, there was also many potions and stuff. The weapons were all fantasy stuff like a sword that released fire with each swing or bow with lightning arrows, there were no modern weapons. But everything was prized far above 1000 points. The cheapest item I found was a necklace that gave the wearer the ability to make a powerful barrier once a day for 760 survival points.

I closed it since there was nothing I could do with it right now. Well it was nice to know that i could buy these things if i worked hard for it. Plus there was still a chance to get a powerful class or more skills.
