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 2.4

The massive mole charged straight at me.

In response, I kept launching flaming stones at it with my psychokinesis.

“GRUAAAAAAAHHHH!”

The impact of the attacks caused small cracks to form on its scaled hide, but it didn’t slow down in the slightest.

It kept barreling forward, completely ignoring the damage.

“Hup.”

Luckily, I was faster.

I easily dodged by stepping back, all the while pelting it with more stones.

The plan was simple: wear it down from a safe distance.

“Juu—!”

Just as I thought I had things under control, the mole suddenly sank half of its body underground.

“OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!”

Then, with a deafening roar, it dove into the earth—swimming through the soil at incredible speed.

It was much faster than when it was running on land.

“Wait—what!?”

So that’s what Subterranean Swimming does!?

“Guh—!?”

I had no time to react.

Before I could adjust, the mole shot forward from underground, slamming into me with a devastating body slam.

I was sent flying, crashing hard against the ground.

“Tch…!”

I rolled on impact, quickly trying to recover—

But before I could, the mole had already closed in again.

“Damn it—!”

Its razor-sharp claws lashed at my face.

A hot sensation burned through my skin as one of my eyes was blinded by bl00d.

“Skree—!?”

But at the same time, the mole howled in agony—

Because it had just taken my Will-o’-the-Wisp attack directly to the face.

“Don’t underestimate me…!”

I was injured, sure—

But I could still see.

The mole, on the other hand, was engulfed in flames.

“Take this!”

Instead of retreating, I lunged forward, grabbing the struggling mole and slamming it onto the ground.

At the same time, I used psychokinesis to manipulate tree roots, wrapping them around its limbs to hold it in place.

“Grgh—!”

With the mole pinned down, I sank my fangs into its softer underbelly.

Its tough, armored scales were impossible to bite through—

But its stomach was covered in fur, much weaker than the rest of its body.

I ripped through the skin, drawing bl00d.

“GYUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH!”

Even restrained, the mole thrashed violently, snapping the roots with brute force.

Then, with a powerful heave, it grabbed me and flipped our positions, pinning me beneath it.

“Doesn’t matter.”

By then, I had already won.

The moment I broke through its skin, I had access to its insides.

I couldn’t use psychokinesis on living beings directly—

But I could manipulate things inside their bodies.

“GYUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH!”

I reached into its open wound with my power—

And began ripping out its intestines.

Bl00d gushed like a fountain as its organs spilled out.

“Ugh…”

It didn’t take long for the mole to die.

“What a mess.”

I frowned at the gruesome sight before me.

I had done it, but…

Even knowing this was a battle, the sight of a creature dying like that wasn’t pleasant.

“…It’s disgusting.”

And I was completely covered in bl00d.

“Haaa…”

Sighing, I turned toward the nearest river to wash myself off.

“…Cold.”

The current wasn’t strong, but the water was freezing.

As I cleaned the bl00d from my fur, I checked my stats.

“Oh, nice. My level went up.”

My experience gain was decent—

Just two more levels and I’d be able to evolve.

That would finally bring me to E-rank…

Though considering the C-rank Nue, it still felt like an impossible gap.

“Well, let’s call it a day.”

No need to rush things.

If I tried to advance too fast, I’d just end up in trouble.

With my fur clean and my vision back to normal, I headed back to the elf village—

At my own pace.
