I Was Reincarnated as the Weakest Monster, but I’ll Use My ‘Return from Death’ Skill to Become the Strongest! Even as the Weakest Monster, I Want to Get Stronger, Take Human Form, and Build a Harem… But Why Do Only Yandere Non-Human Girls Keep Showing Up? - Chapter 2.14

In the corner of my vision—

As I searched around the black shadow, desperately looking for anything, my Appraisal caught something.

A single stone.

◆◆◆◆◆

Name: None
Species: ???
Level: N/N
Rank: H
Title: “Elf Slayer”

Attack: 5
Defense: 5
Magic Power: 5
Agility: 5

Unique Skill:

• • Elf Slayer

◆◆◆◆◆

A rather unique Appraisal result, considering it was just a stone.

“Die.”

I swung my sword down on it with telekinesis, shattering it into pieces.

It must have been created solely to kill elves, its only defining trait being the Elf Slayer skill.

The stone offered no resistance—it crumbled under my attack, vanishing into a burst of light.

“…Huh?”

Once the light dissipated, all that remained was a single flag.

“…”

The moment the flag appeared, the Minotaurs standing around it also began dissolving into light, disappearing one by one.

Out of curiosity, I used telekinesis to move the flag.

As soon as it drew closer to any of the remaining Minotaurs, they too vanished into nothingness.

“…So waving this thing makes them disappear?”

If that was the case… then maybe…

“Guh…!”

Just as the realization hit me, I coughed up bl00d and collapsed onto the ground.

“Aaaaaaah…”

My body refused to move.

It seemed I had finally reached my limit.

“…”

Resigned to my fate, I closed my eyes, waiting for death to take me.

But then, something caught my attention in the corner of my vision.

A hand mirror.

Why was there a mirror here?

The thought crossed my mind as I gazed into it, expecting to see my own dying reflection.

But what I saw instead—

Was the Elven Village.

“Hah… So that’s how it is. I underestimated them… I underestimated the elves.”

The village was already burned to the ground, reduced to nothing but ruins.

And yet—

The elves were still fighting.

Even now, long after dawn had broken, they continued battling against the monsters.

Not a single one of them had fallen.

They had survived.

They were still standing, still wielding their magic, refusing to give in.

I had underestimated them.

Their peaceful demeanor had deceived me.

But in reality, they were warriors—stronger than I had ever imagined.

“Hah… Hahaha!”

How ridiculous.

Seeing the full picture, I couldn’t help but laugh.

It was so simple.

The solution had been right there all along.

But this was a bullshit game.

There was no way to reach this conclusion without Return by Death.

“Ahh… For once, this is a death I can accept.”

Dying was terrifying.

The pain shackled me.

As my body weakened, I couldn’t help but feel the crushing weight of despair.

But this time—

For the first time—

Even as I sank into darkness, I carried hope with me.

And with that, I let go.
