Simon was racking his brain to understand his current situation.First, there was a strange explosion, and the Netherwhale suffered, causing the ship inside to shake. Then he lost consciousness and woke up somewhere on a misty beach.He needed more information. Simon took off his school uniform jacket and shoes, which were soaked in seawater, and waded through the shallow water.Stepping onto the white sandy beach from the shallow water, the soft sand felt pleasant underfoot. After walking a little further, he saw terrain with trees and grass.Coming from a rugged mountain range, Simon's eyes first went to the plants. His gaze passed the trees and focused on the blooming flowers and grass.'This is.......'It was the vegetation of Locke Island.More precisely, the environment primarily found in the western part of Locke Island. He knew it well from wandering all over the island during Hongpeng's classes.'So, did I somehow arrive at Locke Island?'He turned around, and a vast ocean stretched out, with the horizon visible.The sound of waves crashing could be heard. It seemed certain that he was on an island.Now, let's think again.While traveling by Netherwhale, they were 'attacked' by someone. The Netherwhale crashed, and Simon lost consciousness. Still, he somehow drifted ashore to the edge of Locke Island.This was the most natural sequence of events he could currently deduce.'......Of course, there are too many strange things to just believe that.'Simon placed his shoes on a nearby rock, twisted his uniform like a pretzel to wring out the water, shook it out, and put it back on.It was damp, but there was nothing he could do. It was then that Simon realized the 'protective magic' that should have been on his Kizen uniform was gone.He drained the water from his shoes, crumpled some water-absorbing leaves nearby to deal with the dampness, and put his shoes back on.There was no time to leisurely dry his clothes here.'I need to find my group members.'Just as Simon resolved this and was about to move.―Grrrrrrrk!A sound like metal scraping was heard. He stopped and immediately looked in the direction of the sound.It was a place with dense bushes. Something was approaching through the darkness of the forest.'Is it a monster? Or a wild animal?'Simon tensed, preparing for battle.And the moment he witnessed what emerged from the darkness, a surprised sound involuntarily escaped his lips.'No way.'It was a monster with an entirely white body, and holes where its eyes, nose, and mouth should be. He knew very well what that was.It felt like being hit hard on the head with a hammer. How could he forget what happened just two months ago?'The monster of Prima Materia......!'It felt like the terrible nightmare of the Holy Maiden incident, which he had forgotten, was being forcibly dragged out.The moment he witnessed it standing firmly on four legs before him, Simon wished this was all a dream.―Grrrrrrrk!The pure white monster charged on all fours.The confusion in his mind subsided, and combat logic immediately took its place.'I'll finish it instantly with Overlord.'Simon waited patiently in place, then pulled out two tentacle blades.One was set up like a wall in front to block the monster's attack, and the other was aimed to rise from the ground the moment its attack was blocked and its movement stiffened.Shwaaaarrrrk!The blade pierced the monster's belly and lifted it. Simon pulled a skeleton shortsword from his subspace and held it in his hand, then stepped on the blade, leaped up, and instantly severed the monster's neck.As the white head fell from its body, the monster's body disintegrated like ashes and melted into thin air.Thud.Simon landed on the sand and tossed the shortsword above his head. The subspace opened and swallowed the sword.
