A Highest Rank in Another World!

All the adventurers got desperate and started running through the trees, they were just moving on as they screamed. We were thinking the monsters had moved away, but we were wrong.

"Calm down, don't run or you'll get their attention-" As I spoke my sentence, one of the ropes came from above towards my neck, but I leaned my body back and avoided the rope.

Seeing this, I gripped my sword and prepared to enter a battle.

Of course, I also started running so as not to be so far removed from all the adventurers. They should have stayed together, but they were spreading through the forest, that's not good.

Most of them are weak and won't be able to do anything in this situation, I don't even know if the B-rank adventurers will be able to do anything.

"Get that thing away from me." Again a rope came down and tried to grab me, but I swung my sword with all my strength and cut the rope in half. I picked up the piece of rope that had fallen out and began to analyze what that thing was made of.

As soon as I held it, I noticed that this thing was made of grass and bark, it was something strange and it was also very resistant. If my sword wasn't sharp enough, I would have a hard time cutting it.

But how did something made of grass and bark cut a person's body in half? Maybe it's another type of rope?

'My God. That was made by another monster, not these.' Considering that all the attacks that were made by these monsters are made with this rope, that first attack wasn't made by them.

There's something even more dangerous here.

"Listen, get back together, I need to talk to you guys, calm down." I started running again while screaming in the middle of the forest.

At various times I received attacks from those ropes, but swinging my sword I managed to cut them easily. They were a little slow so they couldn't attack me by surprise.

Guaaar~~

Aaaahh~~

Help~~

But unlike me, everywhere I looked, I saw adventurers being pulled by the neck by that rope. As soon as they were pulled, their bodies disappeared into the trees.

"Damn it, it's all over." I continued to run through the trees and avoid the ropes, but their numbers were increasing over time, it was getting harder and harder to cut them all and avoid them.

I continued to run and call my companions.

"Hm?" Without paying much attention to the front, I ended up tripping over one of the roots of a tree, causing me to lose control a little and get a little distracted.

"Damn it." During my moment of distraction, three ropes descended from the trees.

  Uma took my hand where I held my sword, the monster pulled me up with all its strength, hurting my wrist a little. They were too strong, shit.

In addition to my hand, one of the ropes tried to grab directly around my neck, but since my other hand was free, I managed to catch the second rope before it hit my neck.

But because of that, I was pulled up by the two ropes with everything, I was lifted about 10 feet high and I started to get nervous.

I started to look around looking for where the third rope was, but the rope didn't move, maybe it doesn't want to attack me? Or maybe you already think that everything is resolved and you don't need to do anything?

I don't know how long this would last, so I had to do something.

I was still being pulled and getting closer and closer to being swallowed by the leaves. If I were pulled up there, those things would attack me at the same time and I would die instantly, I'm sure of that.

"I didn't want to do this here so as not to set the whole forest on fire, but..." Using fire magic, I burned the rope that was holding my right hand where my sword was.

Since my hand was free, I swung my sword and cut the second string. And to my surprise, the third rope was pulled and disappeared.

He seems to have given up.

But I couldn't calm down now, after the ropes were cut, I started to plummet.

"Shit." I had no wind magic here to try to break my fall, I had nothing to do at the moment, nothing I could hold onto right now.

So I prepared for the impact, the most that could happen would be a sprain in my ankle, I'm confident in my endurance.

After a few seconds, I hit the ground, the impact wasn't as strong as I thought, I managed to fall on my feet without much trouble, I just felt a big impact on my feet, which made them hurt a little.

But right away everything was normal, so I started running again. All the adventurers had already disappeared in the middle of the forest, I had been here a long time.

Just a few minutes was enough to delay me.

"Haven't we run enough already? The heat is building and our bodies are starting to dehydrate even more. We haven't found anything yet, let's calm down." Theod said while panting.

"Okay, let's walk slower now, it seems like no one is taking it anymore." I looked back and noticed the rest of the adventurers breathing heavily as they sweated like crazy.

We had already run quite a bit, we were at a considerable distance from where we were before.

The only satisfying thing was that the heat had dropped a little. The longer we walked, the more the lava pits got smaller, so the environment became less and less hot.

"You can stay here, I'll walk around here a bit and see if I can find something." The number of rocks and small mountains has increased, and as the heat has decreased, I think I can handle walking a little longer here.

They nodded and then sat down on the floor to rest.

They all had their skin burned and red, they were already showing signs of dehydration like me.

Everyone was already at the limit of endurance. My priority right now was finding water, not a way out.

But I don't know if it would be possible to find water in this place.

I started walking along the coast of the mountains looking for some entrance or any place that might indicate the existence of water, and this lasted for a while longer. I continued walking and observing the environment very well.

I had gotten far enough away from them, but I could still see them.

"Hm?" I ignored them this time and turned my attention to a wall in one of the mountains: "Isn't it a little damp here?" That could only mean one thing.

I took my sword and then started to break the stone and dig in that place, the deeper I dig, the wetter the earth and rocks were getting, I was getting closer to the water.

Without thinking I continued to use my sword and my hands to dig a huge hole in the wall.

This time I was in a blind spot so my teammates didn't know what I was doing, should I call them here for help? That would be good.

"But first let's make sure there's nothing here." I continued to dig some more, I stayed there for about 20 minutes digging non-stop until finally, water had started to run down the earth and rock.

It was water.

It was very hot, but it was water, I was finally seeing water after so long.

"I'll dig more." I started digging even more, and with time even more water started coming out of that hole, reaching a point where the water started to fall to the ground.

Taking advantage of this, I put my mouth right there and started drinking the water mixed with the falling earth, it was very refreshing, I can't even describe the feeling I'm feeling now, this is the best water I've had in a long time.

"Haaa~~ Haa~~" I drank water so quickly that I had forgotten to breathe. Even though I was satisfied, the water continued to flow, so I grabbed my bottle and started filling it with water.

"That's not enough for everyone, I need to call them, otherwise the water might stop coming out." One bottle wasn't enough, so I was going to call the others to drink water here and also fill their bottles.

So I left there quickly to run to where they were, but as soon as I got a vision of where they were before, they were all gone.
