At the Bottom of the Giant Hole
* * *
This is what they call an overwhelming force.
Kobdalian’s Red and Blue Kobudai Allied Forces continued to advance deeper into the forbidden grounds with trendous force.
Sporadically, Black Kobu warriors appeared and attacked the Allied Forces, but they brushed them all aside.
The Black Kobu Tribe specializes in fighting in groups.
Being ambushed by strong warriors before they could prepare, they had no chance.
Therefore, the Allied Forces suffered almost no casualties.
They swiftly swam through the narrow Dontgo Valley…
And reached a wide… presumably wide… space.
* * *
Kobdalian, erging from the narrow valley path with cliffs on both sides, muttered involuntarily.
Because the fog was incredibly thick here.
Even for Kobudai, who were born and raised at the bottom of the Eserem Sea of Fog, and are accustod to fog, it was so hard to see that they were confused.
He could sohow sense that this place was a large space, but because of the fog, he couldn’t grasp its full extent.
Even Kobdacleva’s figure, muttering those words, was barely visible, just a blurry silhouette, despite being so close.
Hearing that, Kobdalian canceled the 【Raging Flas】 enveloping him, took a deep breath, and released his mana.
Then, a spherical wind, centered on his body, blew away the surrounding fog.
And before the Kobudai warriors… a giant, funnel-shaped hole appeared!
It was such a huge hole that the bottom was still covered in thick fog, making it impossible to see the details.
Kobdacleva chuckled wryly, seeing Kobdalian’s forceful, unorthodox way of clearing the fog, relying on his vast mana reserves.
Kobdalian and Kobdacleva nodded to each other, glaring at the bottom of the hole, where the fog still lingered.
Kobdalian declared that, and then, continuously releasing his mana to clear the fog, started swimming vigorously towards the bottom of the hole.
The Red Kobu warriors roared and followed him.
On the other hand, Kobdacleva and the Blue Kobu warriors, in contrast, silently nodded to each other and followed them quietly.

A few minutes later.
Kobdalian and the others, reaching the bottom of the giant hole, and advancing straight ahead, finally found sothing.
The Red Kobu warriors exclaid in astonishnt.
Clan Chief Kobdalian also trembled, seeing the being that appeared from the fog.
It’s a roughly triangular object, bound tightly with cloth and ropes, endlessly emitting a terrifying presence…
Just by its shape, it closely resembled a creature that the Kobudai often see.
Yes.
In other words…
The true identity of the Calamity, ‘Humidafai, the Fog Bringer’…
…Is a super giant turban shell… easily exceeding the height of a three-story building, just with the visible part of its shell…
“BUSHUWAWAWAWA!”
The Red Kobu warriors, startled by its size, were staring at it, dumbfounded, when!
The super giant turban shell… Calamity Humidafai… made that sound!
Kobdalian and the others instinctively braced themselves… but it was just the sound of fog being forcefully released from the hole at the tip of Humidafai’s shell.
Humidafai itself doesn’t move, with more than half of its body buried in the ground.
They could feel a terrifying presence… but no hostility or killing intent…
Kobdacleva, swimming beside him, pointed his chin at the middle of the turban shell’s shell, in response to Kobdalian’s mutter.
A white, glowing starfish was clinging there.
And it seems that the cloth and ropes wrapped around Humidafai are extending from that starfish.
That starfish is probably the key to the seal that the outer god, ‘Sealing God’, placed.
Kobdalian, recovering from the shock of learning Humidafai’s true identity, finally realized that Kobdarok, the Clan Chief of the Black Kobu Tribe, was nowhere to be found.
Not only that, they haven’t encountered any Black Kobu since they started advancing at the bottom of this hole.
This is strange.
Sothing is strange.
But Kobdalian wasn’t given ti to ponder this question.
Because…
A giant black Kobudai, splitting the fog, leisurely appeared before Kobdalian, accompanied by an eerie laugh!
This Kobudai’s body length easily surpasses Kobdalian’s, at about three ters!
His jet-black scales are rugged like rock, clearly boasting extraordinary hardness!
There’s no mistake.
There’s no way he could be mistaken.
This giant black Kobudai is…!
Kobdalian glared at Kobdarok, once again enveloping his body in 【Raging Flas】.
But Kobdarok, on the other hand, remained completely composed.
Laughing ferociously, Kobdarok glanced at the few Black Kobu warriors beside him and gave them so instructions with a movent of his chin.
The Black Kobu warriors who received the instructions imdiately moved.
They dashed out in front of Kobdarok, but instead of charging straight at Kobdalian, they changed course midway, ascended, and started swimming in circles above Kobdalian and Kobdarok!
The Red Kobu warriors were frozen, confused by the Black Kobu warriors’ incomprehensible actions.
And then, a wind brushed against their cheeks.
Soone then muttered.
And that act of “creating wind”… is what the spinning Black Kobu warriors are trying to do.
By spinning rapidly in place, they’re creating an updraft, blowing the fog that had settled at the bottom of the giant hole upwards!
As a result, a few dozen seconds later, the fog at the bottom of the giant hole was completely cleared.
Kobdalian looked around the bottom of the hole, now with clear visibility…
…And broke out in a cold sweat, speechless.
Because they, the Red and Blue Kobudai Allied Forces…
…Were surrounded… by about ten tis as many Black Kobu warriors…
Kobdarok laughed hysterically, tears streaming down his face, as he looked at the shaken Red Kobu warriors!
