Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

Schwarz overestimated the strength of these monsters; they could be easily wiped out without using a large number of missiles.

However, when facing an unknown enemy, it is good to take it seriously before determining the level of danger, as this can effectively prevent injury.

"What exactly are these monsters? Are they really dinosaurs?"

So we're in the age of dinosaurs now?

Once the commotion subsided, Clara cautiously began to walk towards the pit ahead. She wondered if she had somehow stumbled into the Jurassic period.

But when she looked at the plants around her, they didn't seem to belong to that era; plants from that era should have been much taller.

Before Clara could figure things out, another earthquake struck, and a huge crack appeared in the ground ahead, hurtling rapidly toward her.

It seems there is some terrifying creature underground, rapidly approaching this place.

Could it be that those dinosaur-like monsters were being chased by some even more terrifying underground monster, which is why they ran for their lives?

Thinking of this, Clara turned around to leave the place, but... it was too late.

The ground not far from her suddenly collapsed, causing Clara to lose her footing. The girl was not too panicked, but immediately took out the protective light cone to ensure that she would not be in any danger.

Just as Clara took out the protective light cone, an incredibly terrifying and ferocious giant worm emerged from the collapsed underground in front of her.

It has huge mouthparts and its body is covered with sharp spikes, making it seem like it could easily bite a Tyrannosaurus Rex to death.

After the underground monster appeared, it seemed to smell the strong stench of blood in the air and became extremely excited.

But the dinosaur monsters here have all been blown to smithereens by Schwarz, leaving no good remains, only some bloody flesh mixed with mud.

So it set its sights on Clara, who looked much larger.

Without the slightest hesitation, the monster charged toward Clara, opening its enormous mouth.

Leave Clara!

Seeing the monster heading towards Clara, Swallow quickly appeared in front of the girl and blocked its bite.

This greatly annoyed the monster. The creature in front of it was just a lump of iron, and it had no interest in such a creature that had no flesh and blood and could not be used as food at all.

She didn't even want to pay attention to him.

So the monster tried to avoid Schwarz and continued to prey on the human girl next to it.

But the next moment, the giant robot slammed its iron fist into the monster's head, and the huge monster was sent flying by Swallow's punch.

[Target risk level reduced!]

Before the monster could get up again, Schwarz raised his hand and fired a scorching beam of light, instantly piercing the monster's body and killing it completely.

Once he confirmed that the other party no longer showed any signs of life, Swallow deactivated his combat mode.

Danger cleared.

"Is it over? There shouldn't be any more monsters appearing, right?"

Clara stared at the monster in front of her. This world is really unsafe. She had encountered so many dangerous creatures in such a short time.

However, the earthworm monster in front of them confirmed the girl's previous thought: the reason why those dinosaur monsters rushed towards them was because they were being chased by this even more terrifying monster.

Clara can easily determine the strength of the monsters.

Don't worry, Clara.

No other dangers were detected approaching!

Hearing Clara's question, Schwarz replied with his test results. There was no longer any danger within his detection range.

"That's good."

Having received Schwarzkopf's reply, Clara stopped being wary of her surroundings and instead walked to the monster's corpse.

Although its corpse looked horrible, she still wanted to see if there was anything on it that she could collect.

However, what they were facing was not a mechanical creature. If it were something mechanical, Clara's experience would allow her to make the most of it.

Chapter 5 Night Raid!

Clara may not be the best at combat, but she is absolutely a genius and a master when it comes to mechanics.

With enough components and materials, she could even build powerful robots by hand. Mechanical repair would be even easier for her.

Seeing Swallow's fight just now, Clara couldn't help but think that she should help him out.

But there's only so much she can do.

If she had enough mechanical materials, she could assemble and create automated machine soldiers, which would definitely help Mr. Schwarz.

As for Clara going into battle herself, while it's not entirely impossible, it just feels strange that she would do it.

For some reason, after transforming from Firefly into Clara, she seemed less skilled in combat.

It leans more towards Clara's original thoughts and abilities, perhaps because it inherited many memories about Clara?

"Mr. Schwarzlo, could you remove its horns and shell?"

After examining the monster's corpse, I discovered that its shell was extremely tough and had a very strong defensive capability, even though it was blasted through by Mr. Schwarz's cannon.

But that was compared to Schwarz's attack.

For any other person, they would be invulnerable to bullets and blades; even the most powerful armor-piercing bullets of modern times would be unable to penetrate them, making them perfect as material.

Its horns and spikes are also excellent materials.

We'll collect them, and once we have enough materials, we'll figure out a way to make some robots, which will at least be able to help Mr. Schwarz.

Hearing Clara's words, Swallow didn't say anything, but simply started dismantling all the useful materials from the monster's body.

While Clara was collecting materials at Schwarzlo's place, she noticed a system notification.

[(Killed) 13 Level 2 Dangerous Species were killed, earning 65 points.]

[(Kill) Killed 1 Level 1 Dangerous Species, earning 50 points.]

"...dangerous species."

Were these slain monsters called Dangerous Species?

For some reason, the name felt very familiar, and coupled with the empire mentioned earlier, it was somewhat like a very "healing" anime she had watched before.

If it really is that world, are there also Special and Super Dangerous species above Level 1 Dangerous species?

Clara wasn't entirely sure and needed more information.

After getting everything ready, Swallow and Clara continued their journey. About an hour later, they finally arrived at a road.

However, perhaps Schwarzkopf's appearance is too frightening; most people have never actually seen such a large robot before.

So, instinctively feeling some fear, he ran away in panic without waiting for Clara to come over and ask what was going on, even abandoning what he was carrying.

"Huh? Mr. Schwarz isn't a bad person..."

Clara shouted loudly as she watched the passersby run away in a panic, but it had no effect.

It's okay, Clara.

Now that we've left the mountains, it's not convenient for me to appear in public. You'll have to face things alone from now on.

Schwarzro calculated the current situation and quickly made a decision.

The situation in this world is still uncertain, and as a machine, he is indeed not very suitable to be openly and honestly in front of people.

"Mr. Schwarz, are you leaving?"

Upon hearing Schwarz's words, Clara was visibly startled and looked at him nervously. Without Schwarz, she wasn't sure she could be so brave.

Don't worry, I won't leave! I'll always be by your side and will be there for you the moment you need me.

Schwarz comforted Clara, and then, right before the girl's eyes, the machine began to fade into nothingness and completely disappeared.

"Mr. Schwarzlo?!"

I'm here, I'll always be by your side.

Although he could no longer see her, Schwarz's voice could still be heard nearby.

This relieved Clara; it seemed Mr. Schwarz had simply disappeared, rather than left her, which put the girl at ease.

After Schwarzko concealed his figure, it became much easier to approach passersby when he encountered them again.

No one will run away in fear when they see it anymore...

Clara looked at the group of people pushing wooden carts ahead, encouraged herself, and bravely stepped forward.

The people in front of me looked very poor, dressed in a style reminiscent of ancient Chinese times, but not entirely; they were sallow-faced and emaciated, typical impoverished people.

It's impossible to tell which dynasty it belongs to.

"Um... hello, may I ask you about something?"

Clara approached the group and asked them a question.

"what's up?"

The group exchanged glances, stopped in their tracks, and looked at the timid girl in front of them with a puzzled expression.

The girl looked quite cute, with fair skin, and didn't seem like a child from a poor family, but she was barefoot with her small, delicate feet.

For a moment, I had no idea what was wrong with her.

However, they didn't see anyone else there, just a little girl, so they didn't feel scared and casually asked.

"I'd like to ask about the situation here, and also about the Empire..."

Clara timidly asked them about the world, even though it would make her seem very ignorant and raise suspicion.

However, there's nothing to worry about; after all, she's not someone who can't fight back.

The others were indeed puzzled by Clara's question, wondering why they didn't know these things. But perhaps seeing how adorable Clara was, and how her pleading gaze was irresistible, they told her what they knew.

However, they were just ordinary mountain people and didn't know much about the empire. They only knew that the country had existed for a long time, almost a thousand years!

Furthermore, the empire's policies are making life increasingly unbearable for them, and they are finding it difficult to survive in their original villages, so they are preparing to try their luck in other regions.
