Chapter 27
I'm going to die here.
I an, the Calamity Beast is perched on my finger.
Of course I'm going to die. Anyone would die. The only ones who could get out of this situation are probably Jason Statham or Keanu Reeves.
Grade 6... it's a Divine Artifact Level anomaly.
In other words, it's the real deal.
This cute, white, tiny, fluffy, cute, white (I said it twice because it's important), and makes-you-want-to-put-it-in-your-mouth little one is destroying the world. It's got a criminal record. Yes.
In short, Hokkaido, where such a terrifying wild bird lives, can be called the place where the end of the world begins. Japan sure has a lot of scary regions.
"Um... I'll return this ring, so could you maybe let off the hook...? I'll even overlook the fact that you ca out using 1,000 MP without permission, so maybe you could let go around here...?"
I sit in a formal position, trying to gauge the mood of Shimaenaga, perched on the tip of my right finger.
For now, there's no sign of it attacking.
If I run at full speed, couldn't I escape?
Thinking that, I gently set Shimaenaga down on the ground and start running.
It casually flies after .
Those tiny, adorable eyes are saying sothing.
'I'm going to kill you, right now, right here'──.
"Uwaaaaaahhh!!! Sooneeee───!!! Help eee!!!! It's a boss!!!!!"
I shout as I run through the twelfth floor.
But there's no explorer anywhere.
Co to think of it, everyone left after the raid ended!
"Tch! Do I have no choice but to fight here?!"
A ferocious bird, said to destroy the world, summoned from a Grade 6 Divine Artifact Level anomaly.
Clearly, it's bad news.
It feels like encountering one of those ridiculously strong monsters that appear early in an RPG ga, the kind that wipes out your party with a 99.8% chance if you accidentally fight them while your level is low.
This cute, seemingly weak appearance.
I know, I know.
I'm well-versed in the trope where these mascot-like things are stupidly strong.
I blast Shimaenaga, who's flapping its wings desperately and flying toward with determination.
No good, it's still chasing .
I have to seriously counterattack.
I throw the duralumin case, open up a two-handed stance, and unleash a rapid-fire barrage of 'Finger Snap Lv4' at 6 tis per second with HP 300 and ATK 30,000.
Shimaenaga moves at high speed, dodging through the explosions and flying toward .
No way?! It's supposed to have a 100% hit rate?!
A 100% hit rate ans it's guaranteed to hit!
If it's 100% hit rate, even in Pokémon, it's guaranteed to hit!
There's no way it can dodge!
Tch!
I get it, it's not dodging!
It's getting hit!
Looking closely, Shimaenaga isn't dodging the bombardnt; it's taking the hits directly, just being pushed by the blast waves.
But as a result, an even worse fact cos to light.
In other words, it's been continuously hamred with ATK 30,000, and it's not even flinching.
I unleash all 19 remaining shots of 'Blue Blood Lv2'.

If I don't take it down with this strike, I'll be killed anyway.
Then, I'll put everything I've got into this.
The ti has co to use this.
───────────────────
'One Strike'
Defeating a formidable enemy is no easy task.
Especially if it's with just a single attack.
Ultimately doubles the calculated damage by 2.0. Can be used once every 168 hours.

The friction on my finger is insane.
I grit my teeth and put all my strength into it.
No good, it won't move. I can't snap my fingers.
I still try to rub them with all my might. The skin on my thumb tears.
Blood and flesh grind together, mixing with pale sparks, turning into a vivid crimson.
It's no use.
I can't do a finger snap.
It's as hard as if soone told to bend a tal rod with my fingers.
"But, here, if I don't do it here......! Move, move, moveeee!"
Shimaenaga is closing in right before my eyes.
If I don't do it right here, right now, when on earth will I get another chance!
"Exca, libur, aaa——!!"
A light, lodious sound echoes through the air.
——*Snap*
Imdiately after, a red-hot blaze engulfs the corridor along with the Calamity Beast.
It seed to shine in seven colors, distorting the air and light, causing an unprecedented massive explosion.
The dungeon is lting, turning everything up to 30 ters ahead into a lake of crimson lava.

——————————————————
My HP is depleted, huh......
Ahh, as expected.
I figured my HP was draining since I was bleeding...... damn...... this, is, it...... huh......——
"Chee-chee-chee"
At the mont I thought I was done for, I heard the voice of the ferocious bird.
As expected of the beast that ends the world.
Even after taking my full spirit, it seems completely undamaged.
————
"Chee-chee-chee"
"?"
When I opened my eyes, I was lying in the dungeon.
On my chest, the Calamity Beast Shimaenaga rested its wings, tilting its head as it looked at .
My HP?
It should have been zero......

——————————————————
I've revived...... and my HP is at 1,000......
What on earth happened?
"Chee-chee-chee"
"Calamity Beast...... did you save ?"
"Chee-chee"
There's no sign of hostility.
Does it not recognize as an enemy?
No, more than that, does it feel completely at ease with ?
It's even closing its eyes, getting ready to sleep...... what in the world?
"Chee-chee-chee"
I see.
So it wasn't trying to kill after all.
"Hm, a window popped up......"
I was so desperate, thinking Shimaenaga was about to kill , that I didn't notice, but a warning notice appeared beside my face.
(Attacks on familiar monsters are nullified!)
Familiar monsters...... familiar ans sothing like a pet or a subordinate, right?
Could it be that the Calamity Beast has recognized as its master?
Wait, does that an all the attacks I've been unleashing until now were nullified?
No wonder I thought they weren't working at all. That's terrifying.
Once more, I trace the ring of 'Calamity Beast' with my finger to open its details.
——————————————————
'Calamity Beast'
The ferocious bird that once destroyed the world.
You have beco the master of calamity.
The Calamity Beast has acknowledged your unyielding spirit.
Whether to destroy the world or to continue, it is all up to you.
Consus MP 1,000 to summon the Calamity Beast.
Unlock condition: Possess 'Steel Spirit'. ——————————————————
Huh.
The description has changed a bit.
Unlock condition...... does this an I was able to make Shimaenaga my ally thanks to the 'Steel Spirit' I gained through power training?
"Could it be, Shimaenaga-san, that you've acknowledged from the very start?"
"Suya~"
It's fast asleep.
It's so adorable that I hesitantly stroke it.
Then, Shimaenaga-san's status appeared.

────────────────────
Ah, the na has beco Shimaenaga-san...... probably because I kept calling it that...... Hmm, Shimaenaga-san, you have quite a fierce skill called 'Blasphemous Morning Star'.
Let's see. Please show a bit, okay?
───────────────────

Rebellion against the world.
The guiding morning star that ravages the dark world.

───────────────────
Finally, a child who can rewrite the laws of life and death has appeared.
A monster. White and fluffy, but still a monster.
As expected, this little one was a terrifying child.
But, probably thanks to this skill, I was brought back to life.
Thank you so much, Shimaenaga-san.
"HP and MP are only 10 each. Surprisingly weak...... No, it's level 0. Does that an it will get stronger if I raise it from here?"
I placed the sleeping Shimaenaga-san into the chest pocket of 'Adolphene's Holy Shroud', picked up the duralumin case, and decided to hurry back to the surface.
Unexpectedly, I ended up with a pet.
"Shurado-san would probably love cute things......"
I couldn't wait to show Shimaenaga-san to her.
