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 2.7

My consciousness had once again sunk into the abyss.

And now, it resurfaced.

“…Ugh.”

That unbearable, worst-of-all sensations—I was gradually getting used to it. Without wasting time, I shook off the lingering visions of my previous death and began assessing my surroundings.

“W-What the hell is that…?!”

“What in the world…?”

“A… shadow?”

The timing of my return was, as always, absolutely terrible.

Just like before, I had resurrected at the moment when the monstrous howl echoed through the village.

“Damn it!”

It really felt like I was stuck in a loop.

I had hoped to break free earlier in the timeline.

Flashes of my repeated deaths while trying to escape the Nue surfaced in my mind as I let out a cry and set my plan into motion.

“We have to run!”

I knew my words wouldn’t be understood.

Still, I called out to Riel before slapping her cheek to get her attention.

“R-Riel?!”

Then, without hesitation, I leaped from her shoulder and bolted.

“Wait—!”

Thankfully, Ren immediately took off after me.

“…Prepare yourselves. Something is coming.”

“Kiiiik!”

“Kiiiik!”

“Kiiiik!”

“They’re cominggggg!!!”

“Defensive formation!”

The sequence of events was unfolding exactly as before.

The bird monsters charged toward the village, and as the chaos escalated, I ran, determined to escape.

Ren followed closely behind.

If everything was repeating the same way, then the monstrous creature with the spear-like appendage would emerge at the same moment as last time.

“GRAAAAAAHHH!!!”

And then, just like before, the roar shook the air.

“AAAAHHHHH!!!”

“No way…!”

Screams and shouts of disbelief erupted.

“G-Grandpa?!”

Ren and I turned at the same time.

The elder who had once affectionately tried to pet me had taken charge of the village’s defense.

“…!”

And now, he was the one impaled.

His body was run through, and in his place, the monstrous creature had appeared.

Ren’s steps faltered.

Instead of continuing to flee, she turned back toward the monster.

“Nyaa!”

“R-Riel?!”

I couldn’t let her go back.

Using my telekinesis, I yanked at the hem of her trousers, forcibly stopping her.

Fighting it was not an option.

◆◆◆◆◆

This thing was completely abnormal.

There was no winning against something like this.

It was monstrously strong. It had no listed skills, no known species, no title—just an eerie blank space. That alone was unnatural.

Even without its absurd stats, it was still an A-rank monster. Every one of its attributes was 500 across the board—making it a walking disaster.

Fighting was pointless.

The only choice was to run.

“Run, Ren!”

“No! I’ll handle this! Ren, you take the others and head toward the black shadow!”

Another elderly elf shouted, taking charge of the situation.

“…O-Okay!”

Hearing his command, Ren clenched her fists and nodded firmly.

“Let’s go, Riel!”

Without hesitation, she scooped me up and ran.

Yes. This was the right call.

Staying there meant certain death.

“…Oh, weapons.”

As Ren sprinted, I caught sight of a storage hut—most likely an armory.

Without breaking stride, I used my telekinesis to snatch up about half of the weapons stored inside.

“Riel, let’s save everyone together!”

“Nyaa.”

…Would that really be possible?

I wasn’t sure if this loop had a path to victory.

But for now, we kept running—toward the ominous black shadow looming in the distance.
