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 2.15

Once again, I have returned.

“Riel?”

Amidst the distant howls of monsters, I tightly grip Ren’s clothes—clothes I once failed to protect. This moment engraves itself in my heart, a reminder that there won’t be a next time.

“…Meow.”

I haven’t evolved yet. Right now, I’m still lacking in many ways.

But for now, I need to analyze.

I scan the ground, searching for the monster lurking beneath, the one armed with stakes.

“There it is.”

With my psychic ability, I thrust my sword straight into it.

The blade I took from the armory is just as sharp as ever. It’s no ordinary sword—perhaps enhanced by elven magic.

Its sharpness alone is enough to make me believe that.

If it were just a regular sword, there’s no way my simple psychic power could have pierced that monster.

Truly, elves are a powerful race.

“GAAAAAHHH?!”

The monster, pierced from underground, lets out a scream and abandons its ambush, rising to the surface.

It must have planned to take someone out with its surprise attack, but now it has been forced into the open.

“Who goes there?!”

The elves immediately shift into battle mode, and Ren does the same.

Ah, yes. That’s how it should be.

“W-Wait?! Riel?!”

Seeing that, I leap off Ren’s shoulder and start running alone.

Ren instinctively steps forward to chase after me.

“Ow?!”

I flick a small stone at his feet, stopping him in his tracks.

It’s safer for Ren to stay here. In the end, everything will go more smoothly this way. If he comes along, we’ll have to fight the minotaur horde, and there’s no way we’d survive that.

Going alone is the right choice.

“Found the armory.”

I enter the armory and grab my weapons.

This is an essential step—something I must do. Without this sword, I’d be completely powerless in battle.

“I won’t die again. This time… I’ll end it.”

The strategy for clearing this elf village is simple.

I just need to take the shortest route to the black shadow monster. The process is just as straightforward.

“First, I need to evolve.”

Evolving into a Golden Blossom Cat.

That comes first. Then, I’ll crush the monster horde that forced me to survive through the night.

“The final step is easy.”

All that’s left is to break the stone, take the flag, and return.

With that simple plan set in my mind, I head into the forest alone, without hesitation.
