Gross-Food Subjugation
Faint light shone on the surface of the sea, and it made the swaying waves a ceiling.
In that space, a building that was like a temple existed in the center, which was supported by four huge columns. There was no wall between the columns. A delicate, complex magic formation was drawn at the place that seed to be an altar at the center of the temple. Still, from the temple whose surroundings were filled with ocean water, the pathway that floated on the surface of the sea extended in four directions, and the end went on to beco a circle. And, a magic formation was also drawn on the footing of that circle.
One among the four magic formations began to shine suddenly. Then, after the montary light that was like an explosion, the shadows of people stood there. It was Haji and Kaori.
“……Here is…… Is that a magic formation? Unexpectedly, was it captured?”
“Um, is there so problem?”
“No, I didn’t think that it was really already cleared…… Though I felt it was a little easy when compared to the other Labyrinths…… Though I expected that clione to at least co out at the end……”
Apparently, understanding that they seed to have arrived at the dwelling of iru rujine, Haji made an expression like he was a little let down. In contrast to that, Kaori, peeking at his face from over Haji’s shoulder, replied while smiling wryly.
“You know, Haji-kun. This place was plenty difficult. The beginning is an undersea cave after all, and because normally you would not possess sothing like a submarine, you would continuously be consuming a lot of magical power the whole ti until it was cleared, and if done poorly, as it is you would drown. The clione-like thing was an almost impossibly tough enemy, and because physical attacks were ineffective against the things that looked like ghosts, you will again rely on magical power. Because of that, breaking through cannot be done without fighting a large army. It’s a sufficiently ridiculous degree of difficulty.”
“Yeah, though I guess it might be so if you say so.”
“Not to ntion, as for the people of this world the piety seems to be strong…… To display such madness……”
“Too much ntal intensity……?”
Kaori’s point was, in short, that Haji was too strong. When saying up to there, certainly, Haji agreed that Guryuen Conflagration Mountain would have also been able to be captured flawlessly if not for the attack of Fried at the end.
And, co to think of it, they had arrived before joining up with Yue and the others, but at the ti that he thought about what they were doing, the magic formation that was at the end of the path to the right began to shine like it had read Haji’s thoughts.
When the bursting light had settled down, the figures of the three people of Yue, Shia, and Tio were there. It was exquisite timing.
“Good timing. Was it OK over there?”
“N…… Over there…… was it not safe?”
“Ah, Kaori-san are you alright!?”
“Mu? Are you hurt? What happened to recovery magic?”
To Haji’s calling out, even though each of them showed an energetic appearance, they sent gazes like they were worried at Kaori who was being carried on Haji’s back. Kaori’s reply regarding that was……
“Thank you for worrying. But, I’m fine. Because half was just being spoiled.”
To Kaori who declared that boldly as she floated a truly cheerful smile, as Yue narrowed her eyes, Shia appealed with “I’m jealous. Please switch places with ~,” and Tio raised a broad smile with a “Hohoo,” seemingly amused.
“Hey, Kaori. Perhaps, can you already stand up?”
“Ehehe, actually from the beginning there was no problem with walking…… I’m sorry?”
“Haa, hurry up and get down.”
To Kaori who laughed like a little evil slipped out, Haji let Kaori down while showing an amazed expression. And then, they joined with Yue and the others and faced the temple.
“And? What happened? Hey, try to say it, Goshujin-sama. It seems sothing happened with Kaori? Hey, hey, what happened? Say it without hiding – hebuu!?”
Because she began to question him with an absolutely annoying feeling while Tio smirked, Haji who beca irritated dispatched an open handed slap at once. As she sat at ease, Tio, who had crumbled down with a fascinating slanting posture, colored her cheeks while breathing roughly.
“I-impact after a long ti~, haa haa, n, Goshujin-sama, isn’t it fine punishing more? Isn’t doing a kick instead good?”
In the atmosphere that was expected sowhere, ignoring Tio who said such things as she pleased, Haji and the others went towards the altar inside. From the back, “One more ti, it is fine with one ti! Please, hit ~,”though the disgusting words were heard, everyone ignored it with all of their power.
“……And? What happened?”
Yue asked the sa question as Tio. However, the look was not at Haji, it was faced at Kaori. Kaori, smiling sweetly in good humor as she matched gazes with Yue, dropped a bomb of words like the other day.
“I only kissed with Haji-kun a little.”
“……Hou.”
“Eh!? Is that true!? From which one!? From which one was it!? It can’t be, from Haji-san!?”
To Kaori’s words, Yue’s voice lowered one level, and Shia drew closer like she was excited.
“It was from . ……Haji-kun was angry for my sake…… I stole it not being able to endure it.”
“Waa, it’s the sa as my ti! I also stole one because I could not endure it. We’re comrades! Kaori-san!”
“Ufufu, that’s right, Shia. Next ti, shall we steal one with two people?”
“In that case, should we rather make it to a fait accompli?”
Right at Haji’s side, the two girls began to refine the Haji attack plan. A cold sweat flowed on Haji’s face. Though it looked like they were in high spirits going “Kya Kya” as they appeared to be joking, in fact, it was because the eyes of Kaori and Shia were serious. In the old days he never would have imagined Kaori turning carnivorous eyes towards him.
“……I thought you would run away with your tail rolled up.”
Yue turned a probing look at Kaori. Yue had noticed that Kaori was tornting her heart as she felt an inferiority complex. Therefore, this ti that beca the first Great Labyrinth challenge for Kaori, possibly she thought about if she would run ho failing. Of course, she had no intention to comfort the other party who had proclaid a declaration of war to her. If she drew back here, it as just fine if she declared victory when she considered the extent of it.
However, it seed that Kaori had gotten back on her feet, or rather, there was even an atmosphere of determination being made since before. She was anxious about what had happened.
“……That’s right. From Haji-kun as well, I was told that doing so sooner was better. But, the various differences among other things with Yue…… I will show them now.”
“……Did you beco defiant?”
“Indeed it might be called that. Or perhaps I should say, although I ca along with you all becoming defiant from the start, showing the difference, it was surely only forgotten. I showed you a shaful place.”
“……Although it would be fine if you gave up as you were.”
“Fufu, are you scared? To compete together?”
“……Don’t get carried way by the rhythm. Troublemaker.”
“That, it was said also by Haji-kun. ……I, do I have a constitution to make trouble like that I wonder……?”
To Yue’s sharp words, Kaori’s face stiffened. Though she felt a little down being called a troublemaker similarly by both her rival in love and the one she loved, she imdiately pulled herself together. Incidentally, actually Yue as well, or perhaps you should say Haji and the others, because everyone comparatively has a constitution to make trouble, though the words surely booranged considerably, the self-consciousness of it was not in Yue.
“Well, although it might be as Yue says……because I am at least Haji-kun’s ‘Importance’, I decided to aim at ‘Special’ doing my best. Whatever anyone might say, right?”
“……I see. In that case I will accept your challenge the sa as before.”
“Yes! Ah, even so, I don’t hate Yue, you know? A fighting friend or sothing like that, that sort of thing was yearned for just a little.”
“……Friends? Kaori and I are?”
“That’s right, friends. In Japan, there is sothing like a person who represents friend writing rival. In that case, isn’t it fine to read friend by writing love rival too?”
“……Japan…… Haji’s birthplace…… It is a more mysterious country the more I hear about it. But…… I think it is a good sense.”
“Right. Ufufu, that’s why, please take care of after this too?”
“……N.”
Though Yue and Kaori were emitting an atmosphere of good feelings sowhat, at the side, Haji who heard the two people’s conversation was terribly uncomfortable. It was a feeling like a young man alone even inappropriately slipping into the midst of girls that were making girls talk. And, such things as Kaori knowing the words of a certain end of the century person called strong, although it cannot be helped wanting to tsukkomi because Yue’s return was the words of a certain cardboard box loving snake, he controlled himself because he read the mood.
Haji and the others who arrived at the altar set foot on the magic formation with everybody. Going by the usual, it carefully examined the inside of their minds, and their mories were read. However, it was not just that this ti, it was like looking at what the other people experienced at the sa ti. In other words, what Yue and the others experienced was shared with Haji and Kaori too.
Sohow or other, it seed that Yue and the others finally arrived at an abandoned tropolis that should even be called an undersea city in a huge underground space. Thereupon, the space warped the sa as with Haji and Kaori, and it was like war ca in the tropolitan area with the armies of two countries. Because, that tropolis seed that it was a place being invaded by the army of the Majin tribe in the human capital, and in the end, it seed they were attacked from both the sa as Haji and Kaori.
There was a huge architecture that appeared to be the royal castle in the interior of the capital, and Yue and the others who pushed on while kicking about the armies heard the speech of the leaders in the invaded royal castle.
By all ans, because the incident where the Majin tribe destroyed a human village was the impetus, although the humans’ country that made this tropolis the capital city began a war with the Majin tribe side, actually, that was like a conspiracy of the human side that did not hope for peace and desired the Majin tribe’s extermination. By the ti it was noticed, the war that was already getting out of hand expanded, and finally it had beco a situation where the united human side had the tables turned on them and was invaded until the royal capital….. It seed that was the situation.
And, the person plotted that conspiracy, it seed it was the high priest of the Light Faith Church that was deeply connected with the country, and this Light Faith Church apparently was the predecessor of the Sacred Faith Church. Furthermore, they appeared to be violently cornered. As though they were entreating a deity in troubled tis, they tried to obtain the support of God offering sacrifices. As a result, several hundred human won and children were gathered from the tropolitan area, and it beca a ghastly situation of a mass killing being done in the church’s cathedral.
Even Yue and the others, when they saw that scene it seed to be quite intense as expected. Because the confirmation of mories by the magic formation compelled them to rember, it made their faces pale. Especially, Shia seed like she would vomit at any ti.
Finally the confirmation of mories ended, and everyone seed to have been recognized as soone who had captured it safely. The new Age of Gods magic was etched within Haji’s and the others’ minds.
“Was this magic here? ……Wasn’t it end to end of the continent? Damn Liberators.”
“……Found it, ‘power of regeneration’.”
Haji breathed out abusive language. That was because the Age of Gods magic of rujine Undersea Ruins that they obtained was Reproduction magic.
He rembered the wording of the lithography that was under the Great Tree of Hartsina Sea of Trees. He was certain that it was written that the “power of regeneration” was necessary before advancing. In other words, to capture the Great Labyrinth that was at the end of the east, it would not be obtained if you did not go until the end of the west, and it was absurdly troubleso for a person who had arrived at Hartsina Sea of Trees first. Though it was still better since Haji and the others possessed the ans of high speed movent with the magic driven vehicles.
When Haji puckered his eyebrows at the repulsiveness of the Liberators, and simultaneously with the magic formation’s light paling, a parallelepiped ca out from the floor and approached. It seed like a small altar. When thinking that the altar shone faintly, in the next mont the light took the shape of a human form. Sohow or other, it seed to be a ssage left behind similarly with Oscar Orcus.
The human form clearly changed into an outline gradually, and it beca a single woman. The girl who sat on the altar was wearing sothing like a white one piece dress that beca loose, and she possessed fan shaped ears and long, erald green hair. It seed that the Liberators’ one person iru rujine was a woman who was related to the Sea Tribe.
She, the sa as Oscar, told the truth of the Liberators after she introduced herself. She seed to be a gentle woman, wearing a kind atmosphere even while carrying grief. Before long when she finished the sa talk as what Oscar had reported, she spoke words at the end.
“……Please, do not cling to God. Do not rely on it. Do not get used to things that are given. Struggle for the sake of grabbing hold of and taking it. Decide by your own will, and advance ahead by your own feet. Any difficult problem, the answer is always within you. It is only within you. Do not be misled by the sweet answer that God deludes you with. Under free will for sure, there is happiness. To you, I am praying that a rain of happiness pours down on you.”
Finishing it so, iru rujine vanished, becoming faint light again. Imdiately afterward, a small magic formation shone as it appeared in the place where she had sat, and when the light settled down, a coin where the crest of rujine was etched was placed there.
“The number of proofs is four, Haji-san. With this, we are surely able to challenge the Sea of Trees Labyrinth too. I wonder how Father and the others are doing~?”
Shia was quick to think about her family and hotown that she really missed. However, because what ca to mind was her father and the others going “Hyahha-!”, she dispersed that scene by shaking her head. As Haji put away the coin of proof in the Treasure Warehouse, he recalled the Haulia going “Hyahaa-!” the sa as Shia, and drove out the scene by shaking his head.
And, just as the proof was put away, the temple began rumbling. And then, the ocean water of the surroundings suddenly began to raise the water level.
“Uo!? Tch, forced expulsion, huh? Everyone, hold on!”
“……N.”
“Wahwah, it’s too unreasonable!”
“It’s like Raisen Great Labyrinth, no mooore~.”
“Water torture…… is being done.”
To the sea water that terrifically increased in force, Haji and the others who did not even have ti to take out and board the submarine were subrged in the blink of an eye. Right away, they were again individually no match for the draining, and everyone firmly grabbed on each others’ clothes and equipped a compressed oxygen cylinder in their mouths that was taken out from the Treasure Warehouse.
And then, imdiately after that, the ceiling part opened like the shortcut of Guryuen Conflagration Mountain, and ocean water poured in with violent force. Haji and the others also, flowing into the shaft, were blown away to the upper regions by the violent force like being pushed out in a water fountain from below.
Perhaps, though it might be the shortcut of rujine Undersea Ruins, different from the iru rujine with an atmosphere such as a kind onee-san being gentle, it was an absurdly violent shortcut. Furthermore, it was like compulsion. Unexpectedly, she might have been an extre person.
Haji and the others who were forced up finally noticed that overhead was a dead end. However, the mont they collided with it, the ceiling part slid again, and they were thrown out into the vast sea vigorously outside of the ruins. Haji was convinced. iru rujine was absolutely an extrely sketchy character contrary to her appearance.
Haji and the others who were thrown out in the sea hurriedly took out the submarine from the Treasure Warehouse. And then, though they tried to board it from the hatch, that plan was obstructed. Mostly, because of an opponent they did not want to et.
Zubaaaaaaaa!!!
A semi-transparent tentacle passed before their eyes with terrific force, and the submarine was sent flying.
[Yue.]
[Frozen Coffin!]
In the gaze that Haji turned ahead, although it was a seemingly fairy-like modeling, making everything lt, it was the worst, brutal creature that regenerates infinitely – the huge clione. While grinding his teeth at the thing that appeared especially after the capture was finished, Haji called out to Yue by invoking Telepathy.
The huge clione again shot a countless number of tentacles with a violent force like they were not resisted by the water. On the other hand, Yue froze the surrounding ocean water in a spherical shape by harmonizing in response to Haji’s call, and ford a barrier of ice.
The barrier of ice was mightily blown away in the sea by the force of the tentacles that hit directly with Haji and the others inside. Everyone was made to shake within the barrier at the violent impact.
[What should we do!? Goshujin-sama!]
To Tio who communicated by using the telepathy gem, Haji answered.
[Everybody aim at the sea. We’ll be tortured to death underwater. I’ll buy us ti!]
Haji remotely manipulated the submarine by operating the ring type induction stone while saying so. From behind them, the submarine that should have been blown away and sunk plunged forward with extre speed, and evaded the countless tentacles that ca to attack while wrenching the hull. And then it shot a countless number of torpedoes from the bottom of the ship.
The number of torpedoes that could be shot all at once was twelve. If one thinks about it normally it would be plenty of destructive power. However, Haji, judging that the situation would gradually get worse if he did not make a certain chance here, did not loosen his hand and shot all of the torpedoes consecutively that were loaded on the submarine. Making it navigate like making the hull slip sideways, he made a circle with the huge clione in the center. While implenting impossible movent if it was an ordinary ship, the number of torpedoes that were fired successively were 48 in general.
Those that rushed while drawing a line of bubbles brought violent destruction, directly hitting the huge clione without varying their aim.
Doou! Doou! Doou! Doou!
Such muted impact sounds reverberated, and the ocean water rose and swelled like it had expanded. From the sea, if one were to look above the huge clione, the sea level would instantaneously rise, and next they would have observed an enormous column of water spout.
Haji and the others tried to surface by manipulating the water current imdiately after all of the torpedoes exploded. However much it looked like a monster that even possessed regenerative power, it should have bought so ti for a little while. However, the huge clione’s nonsensicalness seed to have easily exceeded their predictions.
[Yue, above!]
[Tsk… no good, I won’t make it!]
A semi-transparent jelly was drifting above Haji and the others who were trying to surface while recovering the remote controlled submarine, and it beca a clione of three ter size when it gathered and solidified in several blinks. And then, when it opened its large head with a “Gapa!”, it swallowed the barrier of ice as it was. Naturally, Haji and the others were in the clione’s belly together with the barrier.
[Shit, the regeneration is too fast!]
[It looked like it regenerated from a tentacle that was torn off!]
[This is bad, Haji-san. The surroundings are full of jelly!]
Apparently, it was not just the tentacle that was torn off, the semi-transparent jelly seed to have been distributed here and there by getting on the ocean current from the beginning.
[……Haji. There is not much to maintain it! I can’t reinforce it because there is no ocean water in the belly!]
[Tch, everyone prepare for impact!]
Yue frantically resisted the barrier of ice lting with terrific force. Haji, while strengthening its defensive power by cladding the barrier with Vajra, took out a large quantity of rockets and torpedoes from the Treasure Warehouse outside of the barrier, naly, in the belly of the clione.
Once more, the clione’s body exploded and scattered together with a thunderous roar. Because it began to lt even with Vajra in a short ti, even Haji and the others who bathed in the shock of the nearby explosion were grandly blown away, and the barrier of ice was also smashed.
They were thrown out into the sea. Haji remotely controlled and moved the submarine in the sea as he caught Kaori and Shia who could not directly fight underwater.
However, this ti the submarine was caught. One part of the huge clione had clung to the ship’s bottom before anyone was aware and opened a hole in it. In the gap where the cruising speed dropped as ocean water flowed into the interior of the ship, the surrounding semi-transparent jelly that had been scattered gathered in one go and wrapped up the submarine.
Furthermore, Haji and the others noticed when they were surfacing that a large amount of semi-transparent jelly was expanding to cover overhead of them. Judging by the huge clione’s unusual recovery speed, it was not possible to break through in a halfhearted manner.
While spewing abusive language in his mind at his prided submarine being lted, Haji called out to Yue with telepathy.
[Yue. I’ll rely on you for Spatial Piercing]
[……It will take forty seconds.]
[Hindrances will not be done. To escape from the sea, we have no choice but that.]
[N…… Leave it to .]
Yue closed her eyes to concentrate and did not move. Kaori and Shia clung to her so that she did not get washed away by the current. The Spatial Piercing that Yue was attempting to use was one of the Space magics that was the Age of Gods magic acquired in Guryuen Conflagration Mountain. Making a hole in a point of two spaces, the space of the two spots were connected. In short, it was magic that made a warp gate. Still, because it hasn’t been long since it was learned, being used by Yue it will take that much ti.
The tentacles that ca attacking, Tio sohow mowed them down with a rapid fire of reduced version breath. However, since the breath’s magic power consumption is intense, and since the power and range fall considerably underwater, it was difficult to hit the tentacles because of the straight line attack and the annihilation power was weak. It will likely break through without being held for even several more seconds.
Haji, taking out ores successively from the Treasure Warehouse, proceeded to continuously use Rensei, and like the barrier of ice that Yue ford not long ago, ford a physical barrier in the shape of a sphere.
[Goshujin-sama! It has already broken through!]
[I was able to do it, so everyone get in!]
The tallic barrier sufficient enough to take in five people was completed, and simultaneously with Tio getting into it last the hole was closed as it beca a perfect tal sphere. Furthermore, that tal sphere was covered in red magical power. It was strengthened by Vajra. Tentatively, because gravity stones were also included, it would not keep sinking as well.
Imdiately after that, the tentacles rushed the tal sphere, and began to wrap it up in one go.
The semi-transparent jelly that lts even magic power itself imdiately destroyed and consud the Vajra. And then, even the surface of the tal sphere was lted in a mont. However, when thinking that red sparks ran on the tal sphere, tal swelled from the lted edges, and the protective wall was just barely maintained.
That was because Haji continued to constantly use Rensei from within. Fortunately, there was a kind of ore that was contained within the Treasure Warehouse to a literally rotting degree. Repeated Rensei seriously as he opposed the rate of lting, and then, the mont he impatiently waited for finally ca.
[Spatial Piercing!]
Yue’s spatial transference magic was invoked. Within the tal sphere, a shining mbrane of an elliptical shape was completed in the imdiate vicinity of Haji and the others. It was the gate that connected space.
[Everybody jump in!]
In accordance with the command of Haji who continued to use Rensei by applying his hand to the tal sphere, everyone jumped into the gate all at once. Haji also jumped in last. After Haji passed through it, the gate imdiately terminated, and several seconds later a countless number of tentacles pierced the tal sphere and lted it.
Haji and the others who passed through the gate were attacked by a terrible floating sensation. It was because the movent done before was to the sky. To be separated from the sea even a little, Yue had established the exit one hundred ters in the sky.
Imdiately Tio used Dragonification and floated as she placed Haji and the others on her back. On Tio’s back Yue started to crumble down, and Kaori and Shia supported her from the sides. It was a state of magical power completely drying up. Hurriedly, she replenished it taking out magical power from the magic crystal stones.
“Yue, you saved us. As expected of you. Space transference is proportionate in difficulty.”
“……Haa haa, n. I did my best. But, it’s still not a level for combat.”
As Yue said, the handling of Space magic was difficult to the extent that it could not be compared with Gravity magic, and in the view of Yue it was still not at a level where it could be used in actual fighting. Much ti is taken to construct the magic formation image by ans of Imagination Composition, and the magical power efficiency is also still bad, as even though they made a spatial transition of one hundred ters, it was to an extent that it consud magical power of two tis that of superlative magic.
Nevertheless, because of Yue being skilled she was able to attain it and put it to use in a short period, and their escape was able to be done. Admiration was sent freely from Kaori and the others too, and to a certain extent, Yue who blushed was embarrassed.
Though everyone loosened their faces at the situation, the next mont, their expressions beca frozen.
Doogoooooooo!!!
Zabaaaaaaaa!!!
Together with such a roaring sound, suddenly a huge tsunami swept down on them from the back of Haji and the others. No, even calling it huge is presumptuous. Already there was a wall and the sky. The tsunami that seed to easily exceed five hundred ters in height ca to attack while raising wave crests in the distant sky where Tio flew about one hundred ters high in the sky. And the diater seed to be about one kiloter.
“Tsk, Tio!”
[Acknowledged!]
Tio recovered herself at Haji’s shout, and accelerated in one go as she fluttered her wings. There was no escape anyway. Space transition would not be in ti. If it was, there was nothing to think about but “To the other side”! She flew with a high speed that seed to rival the ti she escaped from Guryuen Conflagration Mountain.
“–Restraining Seal, Beyond Sage!”
“Beyond Sage.”
Kaori produced a rope of light that connected everyone to prepare for when they would be swallowed, while at the sa ti she expanded high grade defensive magic together with Yue. Shia gave a warning the next instant as she widened her eyes when concentrating on sothing.
“Tio-san, be careful! That is inside the tsunami! Tentacles are coming!”
She seed to have reported the scene that she saw with her characteristic magic Foresight’s derivation Future Assumption. Tio, without even confirming Shia’s words, twisted her body instantaneously. Right afterward, countless tentacles extended from the tsunami and pierced the space where Tio was until now imdiately.
She was able to avoid them successfully. However, the difference with the tsunami had been shortened because of that reason. The tentacles that still ca attacking, though Haji intercepted and burned them to ashes with a flathrower……
“Damn it! Everyone get together!”
Haji who was on Tio’s back covered Yue, Shia, and Kaori like he was hugging them, and then, right after that, the huge tsunami that should even be called a natural disaster swallowed them.
Because there was the Beyond Sage of the pair of Yue and Kaori, though they did not receive the impact of the tsunami directly, even so they were unreasonably tossed around by the fierce torrent and were sent back into the sea.
One piece of the Beyond Sage was completely smashed, and the other piece was already cracked. Supposing if they had not expanded anything but one piece, then at about this ti they might have gone to a watery grave. Haji and the others who shook their heads at the shock from being thrown into the sea raised their faces as they made grim expressions again.
“How should I put it, the aid at prey isn’t let go?”
The huge clione was already in front of Haji and the others who were protected by Beyond Sage. Furthermore, that figure was becoming even larger, and had already exceeded twenty ters. Was it still insufficient? While gathering semi-transparent jelly from the surroundings, it continued to grow even larger.
“I-it can’t be…… Things like not dying, lting anything, and manipulating even the sea…… What should we do?”
“……Haji-san. Can you give a serious kiss? I want to do it with Haji-san at least at the end.”
“…….Fuu, Goshujin-sama. too, I desire a kiss at the end.”
Kaori darkened her expression in despair, and Shia pleaded to Haji while floating a smile like she was embarrassed. Tio was also the sa.
However, the girls who turned their gazes at Haji shook their bodies with a “Biku”. Because, Haji’s eye glittered with flas. The glint in his eye was sharp, carrying murderous intent of an insanely thick degree, and he was glaring at the clione that had beco huge as he bared his teeth.
Haji would not do sothing like giving up. There was not even a tiny bit of such a thought. What was in his head was: what should they do to kill the enemy before their eyes and how could they survive, it was only just that. Confronted with a formidable enemy of an impossible degree, if that was enough to give up, Haji would not be standing in this place now. He surely would have perished in the abyss a long ti ago.
And, understanding that, surely because they had escaped the verge of death in the abyss together, Yue also still frantically worked out her thoughts without carrying the likes of resignation at all.
At the eyes of Haji that glittered, Kaori, Shia, and Tio, though they stiffened as they were and gazed at him with expressions that were engrossed for a little while like their hearts had been stolen, they regained their consciousness because the huge clione comnced its attack finally becoming a thirty ter class.
Panicking, Kaori ford Beyond Sage over again. Shia grasped for possibilities of victory with Future Assumption. Tio fired breath. In the girls’ eyes, there was no color of giving up anymore. The likes of a brave woman, if that was not a person who should be at Haji’s side, it was because it was thought so.
Yue also, although she had not thought of a plan to to break the deadlock yet, for now she was going to crush both offense and defense for the sake of surviving.
Haji did not do anything in particular, and just intently worked out his thoughts. In the given ti that Yue and the others earned, he continued to search for a path to victory with high speed thoughts while invoking Lightspeed. He ordered himself to recall all of the information there was now. With terrific force within Haji’s brain, the scenes until now flashed back.
And then, he rembered. He and the others had once gotten away from the huge clione. That changed into a question. “Although so much power exists, why did it overlook us once?” At that ti, what differed with the present fight? ……That was…
“We’re not using fire much.”
Right, last ti Tio and Yue grandly used magic of the fire system with reckless abandon. That ti, the tentacles beca ash, and should not have been used to regenerate.
Haji found hope there. Though it was a guess without positive proof, probably, the regeneration of the clione was not infinite. The semi-transparent jelly that composed its body and appeared to be equal to infinite existed in mass quantities.
Also, it appeared likely that it was able to even create it on its own just by seeing the situation until now. Though, if it were annihilated in one go, it might need ti to replace it. Therefore, last ti because it replaced a large quantity of its annihilated body, it prioritized regeneration over pursuit, and Haji and the others seed to have been able to escape.
In that case, it was the sa. It was fine if they could annihilate it faster that it could create or regenerate the semi-transparent jelly that composed the clione. However, this place was in the sea. It was sufficient to say that fire magic could not be used the most effectively as one might think. Though Tio’s breath is high temperature, it did not seem to be able to finish annihilating it. There was no thod. There were no stored arms that could annihilate it. In that case……
“It’s just fine if I make it.”
Haji, taking out torpedoes and ore successively from the Treasure Warehouse, began to produce sothing with terrific force for so reason.
“……Haji? Did you think of sothing?”
“Yeah. To use fire in the sea there’s no choice but this. It should defeat it if it goes smoothly.”
“Haji-kun, is that true!?”
“As expected of Haji-san! I believed in you from the beginning!”
“……Shia, you, didn’t you solicit a kiss as you gave up in the beginning……? No, that aside, that’s our Goshujin-sama!”
“However, it will take ti. You all, I’ll leave it to you.”
At Haji who said so while smiling fearlessly as he lifted his lips, Kaori, Shia, and Tio imdiately nodded their heads strongly, and even more, they confronted the huge clione increasing their concentration.
Haji expanded his perception ability to the maximum using Lightspeed, and furthermore he demonstrated concentration power that exceeded the limit by using Limit Break at the sa ti too as he poured all of his power into the weapon creation.
One, though he completed another one, the mass production in one go does not go like the bullets whose degree of difficulty to create is extrely high. Nevertheless, when using them sporadically, the huge clione might finish regenerating or creating the semi-transparent jelly. The situation would gradually get worse if it beca so. If he was going to do it in, he should do it in instantly. While wearing red magical power — the proof of Limit Break, Haji’s frantic Rensei was repeated.
However, reality is heartless. As far as the huge clione is concerned in the sea was a place of its overwhelming advantage, and even with Yue and the others of the cheat group doing it, they did not seem able to rival it for long.
Though Yue, Kaori, Shia, and Tio were desperately standing firm with expressions that seed strained, they did not seem to be able to hold out until the preparation was complete.
[Three minutes, the end at most, if there is three minutes!]
While invoking telepathy instinctively, Haji shouted so. Finally, the huge clione whose fierce attacks they could not contain approached before their eyes, and swept down to swallow Haji and the others as its head split with a Gapa!
Haji reluctantly decided to fire even though it was only as much as he was able to now to try to survive this mont.
But, at that mont, neither Yue, Shia, Tio, nor Kaori either, it was a refined old man’s voice that responded to Haji’s shout with telepathy.
[Yo, Ha-bou. Doesn’t it seem dangerous? Occhan will help you out.]
[-!? T-this voice, it can’t be, Li-san?]
[Yeah. Ha-bou’s friend, it’s Li-san.]
Yes, having appeared, the one who had been captured in Fyuren’s aquarium before, it was the human faced fish demon Lieman who Haji called Li-san. Haji, when he looked at the surroundings as he widened his eyes in surprise, suddenly a huge silver shadow ramd a hit into the huge clione’s body from the side. The huge clione that was in a posture of just being about to prey upon them as it opened its mouth was blown away as it received the perfect surprise attack, and was pushed away.
In that space, the human faced fish that was certainly rembered swam to the imdiate vicinity of the Beyond Sage. At the abrupt situation, Yue and the others also were completely not able to follow. Seeing Lieman’s figure, Yue and Tio stared in wonder, Shia widened her eyes in surprise with “That ti!”, and arriving at Kaori, she scread with a “Hii!?”
[Was Shia jou-chan also in good health?]
“Fue!? Um, y-yes! I’m healthy.”
[That is splendid. Then, Ha-bou, what are you doing lazily? If you had three more minutes, would you be able to deal with the Akujiki sohow? If you have to do it, do it quickly. Do you not have so long?]
[Y-yeah. Although sothing wasn’t understood well, at any rate you saved us. Thank you, Li-san.]
Haji moved the hand he had stopped at the sudden appearance of Lieman, and resud the weapon creation in a hurry.
anwhile, the huge silver shadow, suicide attacking the huge clione, bought ti doing an exchanging of attacks. Sohow or other, the silver shadow’s true identity seed to be a group of fish. They were not even demons or the like and were just fish. Though they were just fish, tens of thousands, or, if the number equaled several hundreds of thousands, it seed that even a monster opponent was able to be held off. Because they decreased in number by the staggering force, certainly, they did not seem able to keep it up for long.
Why was Lieman here? Shia, who was put out ahead forcibly as the representative because she seed to be an acquaintance, asked that question.
[U-um, Li-san? Is that fine? Uh, what in the world is going on?]
[Hmph, it isn’t anything in particular. As I was properly hanging around this area, a telepathic communication was heard accompanied by a huge, familiar magical power. What I saw when I rushed over, wasn’t it Ha-bou being attacked by the Akujiki? Though there were a lot of questions, it was my friend’s crisis. It is the sha of a man to not do anything.]
“Uh, that group of fish…… is the Akujiki in it?”
[The Akujiki is that thing. Long ago, a monster that haunted the sea from ancient tis… no, that fellow is a natural disaster. It could also be called an ancestor of demons. That crowd of fish is being guided by my ability. To our species that uses telepathy, the ability is possessed to manipulate the normal sea creatures to a certain extent.]
A surprising fact ca to light. The human faced fish Lieman seed to have been a fish user. The group of fish was almost destroyed in the timing that Lieman’s conversation ended, and the huge clione again attacked while opening its mouth as it went toward Haji and the others.
However, the ti that was earned by the noble sacrifice…… was precisely three minutes.
A group of larger than normal torpedoes were spread out in the surroundings of the Beyond Sage that enclosed Haji and the others. The number was roughly 120. And, rings of the sa number floated in the surroundings of Haji who smiled fearlessly.
When Haji activated the induction stone on hand, the group of torpedoes were shot all at once. 120 torpedoes rushed towards the huge clione that had opened its mouth at high speed while drawing a line of bubbles. However, only the torpedoes, because they would just scatter the body of the huge clione even if they exploded, there would not be substantial damage either and it seed that it would imdiately regenerate.
The huge clione attempted to intercept the group of torpedoes, sending out a large number of tentacles as it was upset at them becoming a hindrance to its al, and everyone stared ahead wondering what they should do. Haji who had exceeded the limit manipulated the torpedoes with the very limit of his concentration power and barely evaded them.
“Are you not going to avoid them? Then, I’ll let you eat to your heart’s content.”
Haji’s mutter resounded. The huge clione that was previously the Akujiki, at the reason that it was able to lt anything, Haji thought that might have been why it did not avoid the attack.
And then, the expectation was correct. The group of torpedoes that had finished dodging the barrage of tentacles directly hit and pierced into the huge clione’s whole body uniformly without it even showing an attitude of avoiding them.
However, an explosion did not happen. Buried in the huge clione’s body, although they were lting there was not an explosion of even one shot. The huge clione that had embedded the group of black torpedoes throughout its body was in a state like a flecked pattern was made as if poison had invaded the previous position.
Haji, before the group of torpedoes completely lted, carried out the next move. He took out a massive quantity of black liquid into the empty space from the Treasure Warehouse. It was the tar that was made from liquified Flam ore. To the inside of the surrounding floating rings, it was poured there like a waterfall.
Then at the sa ti, the whole body of the huge clione began to be stained black. As though, like water soaking into paper and changing its color all at once, the black liquid was encroaching on the semi-transparent, huge clione. The identity was the tar of liquefied Flam ore that Haji had poured into the surrounding rings.
These rings and the group of torpedoes, all of them were connected by a small gate. What passed through the inside of the ring jumped through space and arrived at the sa ring used as an exit that had been built into the inside of the torpedoes. In other words, the torpedoes were not explosives, they were things to carry the rings, and at the sa ti, they were also a physical barrier of the rings while sending in the tar.
Naturally, though the tar itself was also lted, because of the total of 120 gates, the lting speed of the large quantity of tar that poured in without pause could not catch up to the encroachnt of its whole body by the tar.
In an instant, the huge clione, though it tried to escape the encroachnt by separating its body, Yue and the others did not allow it. The separation was thoroughly hindered with a barrier, freezing, and breath. Still, Yue’s gate was unable to be used because she was not able to open the gate on a pinpoint on a moving target yet. To be able to do it, two established points of space just had to be connected.
The huge clione, because it beca serious, though it had been on the verge of finishing off Haji and the others by a war potential with a volu of the maximum class done by gathering the semi-transparent jelly of the surroundings, now it had backfired. The tar that Haji poured into it finished dyeing the huge clione black without leaving anything in the end.
Haji, as he curved his mouth, he pierced the huge clione with fiery, glittering eyes. In his hand a tiny ember was being held.
“Burn in hellfire from inside of the body and die.”
The ember that was flicked by Haji’s thumb, while drawing an arc, it hit directly like it was being inhaled in one of the tars that was pouring down. At that mont, a scorching heat of 3000 degrees Celsius surged and spread through the gate instantly.
Not long ago, it was dyed black, and the huge clione had tried to lt the tar inside its body with an atmosphere that it felt desperation sowhere, and this ti, it had beco dyed a scorching red. As Haji said, from inside of its body, hellfire that was not able to be opposed did not allow even a mont of resistance, and its body was completely burned.
A large, crimson flower that blood in the sea finally appeared from inside the body of the huge clione accompanied by the coloring of a na called a mass of bubbles in the sea, and it was destroyed, frying even through the exterior. And then, the super high temperature flas raised a violent steam explosion as they evaporated the ocean water in an instant.
Goobaaaaaaa!!!
A terrific impact surged, and the distant sea burst open like a joke. In the sea that was also still raging, it was a state like a storm was called in. Inside the rough sea, Haji and the others who let the impact go past them searched for the form of the huge clione beyond the barrier.
Though their gazes went around without negligence in the sea that was calming down mont by mont…… the form of the clione that was like a nightmare was nowhere to be seen. Haji, though he carefully investigated using the magic eye stone and Farsight, as expected the huge clione’s traces were not reflected.
Haji and the others were convinced. The monster of ancient tis — the Akujiki subjugation had been completed here.
“Guh…… Sohow, is it over……?”
The rings that had floated in the surroundings scattered and sank as they lost their power, and the red magical power that covered Haji’s body also quickly dispersed and vanished. At the sa ti, Haji who staggered by the side effect of Limit Break went down on one knee inside the barrier of Beyond Sage, and distorted his expression from an intense headache because of overworking.
However, in his eyes that said “I killed it!”, great joy overflowed at having survived victoriously.
“……Haji, are you alright?”
“Haji-kun, I’ll heal you imdiately!”
Yue imdiately approached Haji’s side and supported his body. Kaori also went to heal Haji as she chanted recovery magic imdiately. Shia and Tio also ca to approach at the sides and embraced Haji.
“You did it! Haji-san!”
“As expected of Goshujin-sama…… you made a harsh killing scene. I felt chills.”
At Kaori’s healing, while feeling his headache lessen a little at a ti, Haji also loosened his cheeks at his companions that had gathered. While soaking in the reverberations of their victory, when it beca peaceful, an old man’s voice who seed to be a little displeased resounded.
[Yoo, Ha-bou. Please tell if it’s going to explode. Didn’t you consider if I might die?]
[Ah, Li-san. Sorry. I thought about nothing but what I was killing.]
Apparently, Lieman seed to have been completely blown away by the last explosion. Because he had used all of his power to kill the huge clione, his consciousness had not been turned toward Lieman. Moreover, the last explosion was not sothing Haji had intended. For a bit, Haji had also been surprised.
[Well, can it not be helped if it was to kill the Akujiki? Whatever was done, it was splendid.]
[If Li-san hadn’t co it would have been seriously terrible. Thank you.]
[You’re welco. Well, I only stuck to my moral code. Don’t worry about it.]
[You’re an honorable man as usual. As expected of Li-san. I’m thankful too for the coincidence that you were here.]
[Ha-bou, coincidences that have accumulated, isn’t it already called inevitable? That Occhan was able to assist you was also inevitable, and that you survived like this is also an inevitability.]
Haji loosened his mouth with a “hah” the sa with the fish with the old man face that smiled broadly. At the two people who were communicating sothing to each other, the female formation in the background were discussing together with whispers.
“……What’s that? Aren’t they excessively communicating sothing with each other?”
“……Honorable man’s friendship?”
“Haji-kun…… the friend that he was able to make in the other world is a Seama?? Even in Japan the appearance of him hitting it off with soone to that extent wasn’t seen!”(TN: sen.wikipedia/wiki/Seaman_(video_ga))
“There was such a feeling even before. Girls’ talk can’t help becoming boys’ talk if it’s a guy? Well, though the other party is an old man……”
From themselves, to the intimate atmosphere of Haji and Lieman of a certain aning, when Yue and the others turned complex expressions towards them without either trembling or bewildernt attached, the two people’s conversation also seed to have just ended.
[Then, Occhan is already going. Ha-bou. Let us et again if fate allows.]
[Yeah. Li-san also take care.]
With one mutual nod, Lieman turned back. However, when looking back as he advanced a little, he talked to Shia.
[Jou-chan. There seems to be many rivals, but do your best. When you are able to have children, let’s have them play with my children soti. I will introduce my wife also. See you.]
When leaving only those words, without looking back this ti, he disappeared into the ocean as he was.
Those that remained behind……
“””””You were married—!!?”””””
It was a grand tsukkomi of such a Haji and company. Though he put on the airs of a wanderer, when thinking that he possessed a family, nothing but a normal useless old man was seen. For awhile, their tsukkomi echoed in the ocean.
