The monster cried for a while, then gradually calmed down.
The situation here really was bizarre.
But.
Every problem was its own fault.
There was a path, yet it refused to take it and insisted on looking for other routes everywhere.
It had attacked that Skeleton Bird.
-What if it stayed out of trouble and did exactly as instructed?
The monster thought for a while, then silently raised its blade and cut a wound in its body.
The teleportation law did not activate.
But a new line of large text appeared on the sign:
"You call that a cut? Not good enough."
The monster looked at its bleeding wound, then searched its body again.
It really had no treasures left.
Besides, it had already cut itself-
Gritting its teeth and closing its eyes, it swung the blade again.
Flesh and blood flew.
This time, the teleportation array activated!
Everything spun around it.
The monster appeared on the pitch-black mountain peak.
There was a torch on the ground.
A rugged path lay ahead.
Clutching the wound on its chest, the monster followed the path forward and once again reached the skeletal flying bird's location.
"Go!"
It jumped onto the skeletal flying bird's back and spoke gruffly.
The bird was sensible enough to spread its wings at once and soar into the sky, speeding through the boundless darkness of night.
Before long.
The bones on the bird's back slowly shifted, forming a line of small text:
"Place treasures on the giant bird's back to increase flight speed."
The monster turned its head, pretending not to see.
I'll just fly slowly.
That should be fine, right?
It'll just take a little more time.
The monster reined in its impatience and kept flying slowly along-
Only to see those bones form two more lines
