95 Part 2
Suddenly, a small white and black orb erged from the Fishmans body and began to float in a spiral.
When it reached the sa height as Harukis standpoint, it stopped rising.
W-Whats that?
The orb fired itself towards the dumbfounded Haruki.
A magic attack!?
Hurriedly, Haruki crossed his arms over his chest in an attempt to block it.
The orb ignored Harukis arms, and touched Harukis chest.
There was no impact.
After coming in contact with Harukis chest, the orb burst open.
A small piece of the bursted orb was sucked into Harukis chest, like foam being sucked into a drain.
What on earth was that?
Haruki stood in shock, confused by what had just happened.
It had been an unusual phenonon.
Its like when I first picked up the Skill Board No way!?
As he took a deep breath, Haruki noticed that his body was trembling.
?
His body wasnt the only thing that was trembling.
Kamui Rock is shaking!?
Was it an earthquake?
A loud rumbling echoed in the confused Harukis ears.
*Kerrrackkk!*
The tremor sounded like thunder.
Waaah!?
Coincident with the loud noise, the ground at Harukis feet cracked open.
It was a fissure that looked like the crevasses that happened in snowy mountains.
Haruki hurriedly steps back.
He tried to put distance between him and the crack.
After the crack had beco about three ters wide, it stopped growing.
At the sa ti, the rumbling sound disappeared, and the area regained its silence.
Huh Whats this?
Nervously, Haruki looked into the crack on the ground.
The bottom of the crack was filled with a cloud of dust, and nothing can be seen.
The crack itself seed to be running in a straight line from one end of Kamui Rock to the other.
It seed that the cliff that used to be one had been split into two.
The section had very few irregularities.
More than being cracked open, it seed as if it had been sliced open.
Whats the aning of this Ah.
Haruki held his tongue there.
When Haruki jumped and attacked the black Fishman.
Weakness Exploit caused a light to shine.
And the Fishman hadnt been the only thing that shone with that light.
As he recalled what happened, Haruki went pale.
No No way That cant be
He tried to deny it many tis, but his mory, as vivid as if he was watching a video recording of it, was proof of the reality.
At that ti, along with the black Fishman
Kamui Rock itself was shining.
Back then, Haruki was completely focused on the Fishman, and didnt expect that he would cut through Kamui Rock, even if it shined with Weakness Exploits light.
Who could have guessed that a cliff that was several tens of ters tall could be cut in half with a short sword?
Yeah Sothing like this cant be normal. Its not . Its not my fault.
Haruki kept on whispering and mumbling excuses.
Desecrating a sacred place for the Ainu was sure to be t with so divine punishnt, even if it was done so in order to defeat a monster.
What should I do?
Should I try to pretend I dont know anything about this?
At the end of Harukis line of sight
Blegh!!
Cheps face erged out of a pile of rubble.
Oh, you were still alive?
Dont count off just yet!!
Chep seed very angry.
Seeing her, Harukis racing heart suddenly cald down.
Wasnt there anything to harvest that was related to the dungeon? That thought fleeted past Harukis mind.
Sighing, Haruki asked Chep.
Why did you need to co here, Chep?
Thats because Im the best salmon.
What happens if the best salmon cos here?
The best salmon is an offering to the gods. You understand that much, dont you?
Haruki was irritated by the are you stupid or what? look on Cheps face.
How far can I kick you off this cliff?
Uwaaahh!
Chep quivered, probably because she had noticed Harukis murderous intent.
But why do you droop every ti?
So, where did you co from?
Asahikawas dungeon, Kamuikotan, had 10 floors in total.
Normal monsters appeared all the way up to the 9th floor, but no demihumans should appear there.
Therefore, Chep shouldnt be one of the monsters that escaped from Kamuikotan during the Stampede.
So where did this demihuman co from?
Where were you born?
Im a salmon, so I was born at the river like all the other salmon, and then swam upstream.
There are more salmon like you in Ishikawa River!?
Haruki shivered as he imagined a demihuman salmon swimming upstream in a butterfly stroke.
What a wicked sight
Do all salmon in Ishikawa River have limbs like you?
Even if that were the case, Im a spirit.
Chep stood there arrogantly, as if saying Im different from those normal salmon!
She might have been different from other spirits, but pressing that point wasnt even worth the effort.
Haruki swallowed his words and asked another question.
If youre an offering to the gods, how co youre still alive?
THats because you defeated the evil gods ssenger.
The evil gods ssenger?
Yes. That was the ssenger of the evil god who once brought calamity to Kamuikotan. In order to defeat that ssenger, I was planning to offer myself, the best salmon, as a sacrifice, as well as a prayer so that a god could descend upon this earth and destroy it. And yet, you
So it was in order to defeat that ssenger?
Chep brought one of her hands to her cheek and smiled, as if saying You really got in my way, you!
Though it was a very lovely smile, it was still the smile of a fish.
It didnt resonate with Harukis heart at all.
