Chapter 412: End ga (6)
Flubber. Full na: Flubber J. Tarbond. Rank is Brigadier General.
Responsible for coating the outside of Nouvelle Vague's castle with a thin layer of sli to keep water out, Flubber was one of the two great mountains that support Nouvelle Vague's system, along with BDISSEM.
An unidentifiable substance and creature with a body made up of an enormous mass of mucus of unknown volu, a pair of eyeballs that were nothing more than hollow spheres, a mouth that was gaping open in a smiling arc, and other grotesque deformities.
This strange entity now surrounded Vikir and Aiyen with obvious hostility.
Vikir and Aiyen each said sothing.
"Amazing, a creature capable of thinking."
"Indeed. It looks like Shadowless King of the Black Sea."
This was quite a surprise, as he had assud that it would not have intelligence or reason.
Even D'Ordu and Souare didn't seem to be adjusting to the situation.
"Flubber, you monster... still only moves like a sword when you think Nouvelle Vague is in danger."
"You must be attached to this place, that's why you're always sweeping, cleaning, and repairing the outer walls of the castle."
Flubber's motives were a little different than Vikir had expected.
He hadn't co here to help D'Ordu and Souare, but rather had sensed sothing was up with Poseidon and descended.
To prevent the destruction of Nouvelle Vague.
No one knows why Flubber wanted to protect Nouvelle Vague.
The only thing he could assu was that his attachnt to this place and his desire to restore it were great.
"Hehehe... Yes, even the most incomprehensible monsters have the sa goal."
"It's creepy to work with this monster, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Next. D'Ordu and Souare moved under Flubber's cover.
kwakwakwakwang!
The combination of D'Ordu's attack, Souare's defense, and Flubber's tentacles closing in on the entire field worked quite well.
ujijig! peopeopeopeopeog!
As they stepped back to avoid the slash of the ax blade swung by D'Ordu, Flubber's sli soon covered the entire ground.
Vikir and Aiyen were forced to retreat, trudging over a limited area of ground.
peong- ppagag!
Aiyen fired an arrow, but Souare raised several layers of earth shields to block it.
And beyond it, D'Ordu's attacks continued to fly.
"They've been very annoying."
"It's to be expected with three of the Five Warden in one place."
Vikir nodded in agreent with Aiyen's words.
This was not a phenonon that could be explained by the formula 1 1=2.
The combination of D'Ordu in attack, Souare in defense, and Flubber filling in all the gaps was difficult for even Vikir to deal with.
"...Good thing I took care of Black Tongue and BDISSEM beforehand."
Vikir muttered to himself.
Aiyen, who was deflecting D'Ordu's attacks, asked in surprise.
"I thought it was my husby that worked on BDISSEM, but Black Tongue? Is that also the warden?"
"Yeah. I got rid of it because I thought it would get in the way of my escape, and I think it will help
now."
Vikir slipped his hand into the leather pouch at his waist and grabbed a handful of what was inside.
chalalalalag-
Soon, black pearl-like things were scattered in the air.
"Hmm?"
"What?"
D'Ordu and Souare paused for a mont.
They were wary of these black pearls falling down, thinking it might be explosives.
But it was sothing far more troubleso than explosives.
eujijig- eujijig- eujijig-
The surface of the black pearl cracked, and what was inside crawled out.
Those are the eggs of a new type of leech that stole and killed Black Tongue!
Vikir had deliberately cut his palm, causing blood to spurt out, and the eggs, soaked in it, had hatched as soon as they slled the scent of blood.
The tiny leeches began to cling to D'Ordu and Souare's bodies.
"Damn it! These are Black Tongue Leeches! They're stolen!"
"Kyaaahhh! That perverted bastard must have betrayed us!"
D'Ordu and Souare didn't realize that Black Tongue had betrayed them or that the leeches had been stolen, but they did not think that he had been attacked by Vikir.
They scrabbled and scratched until their bodies bled, pulling the leeches off.
Vikir bit his lip in disappointnt.
"I guess we'll have to use them on people who don't know about leeches in the future, at least not in Nouvelle Vague."
D'Ordu and Souare were aware of Black Tongue's perverted tastes and powers, so their wariness of leeches was at an all-ti high.
To add insult to injury, the leeches weren't responding to Flubber at all, so the effect wasn't as effective as hoped.
'But it bought us ti, and that's enough.'
Vikir and Aiyen closed in on Poseidon, keeping their distance behind them.
"Die!"
D'Ordu spun the axe blade on his forearm again.
Death Roll.
The whirlwind of strikes that had torn countless prisoners to shreds once more revealed its terrifying presence.
Vikir and Aiyen did not et D'Ordu's attack head-on.
"Do as I explained."
"Understood!"
Aiyen jerked backward.
He turned and ducked behind the blue glowing Poseidon.
Vikir, too, moved to the other side of Aiyen, using Poseidon as a shield as he guided D'Ordu's charge.
kwa-kwang!
Poseidon was struck by D'Ordu's attack.
The lava roots nearby exploded with a loud noise, and the resulting shock wave was also absorbed by Poseidon.
...Flash!
The blue light emitted by the sphere beca even more intense.
The vibrations emanating from its roots also beca much more intense.
D'Ordu's brow furrowed.
"What is it? There is sothing fishy about this. They're not fighting back, like they're waiting for us to use our power. And that blue sphere looks even more...."
"What are you talking about? We need to take care of this and get reinforcents upstairs, and if we don't kill them, the Major General will kill us!"
Souare stepped forward in frustration.
kwakwakwakwang!
Her sledgehamr struck the ground, sending spiky rocks flying with lava.
ujijijijijig-
Hot volcanic bombs were scorching the area.
And as it does, Poseidon's light grew brighter and brighter.
Vikir sensed Poseidon's vibrations transmitting through the surface, gauging the accumulated power.
[Human! The wave of mana is unusual! I think about half of the power has been accumulated?]
Vikir was convinced when he heard Decarabia shout from his chest.
'...50%, that's quite a charge, well, the years I spent here were a long ti.'
In fact, once the power was built up to 90%, it was all a matter of ti.
The explosions and aftershocks that the lava roots were constantly generating would easily fill the rest.
What would happen when it reaches 100%!
As Vikir counted down the seconds.
Rumbling-
The ominous sound got closer to his ears.
"...!"
Vikir looks up to see Flubber smiling from ear to ear.
The creature had traveled unnoticed by rats and birds alike on a stalactite that had sprouted from the ceiling.
"Tch!"
Aiyen fired an arrow, but Flubber just swallowed it whole.
As expected, it seed to ignore any physical force.
juleuleug- ttug- ttug- kkulleong...
Flubber turned to the rear and slid down the stalactite.
It seed to be enough to support D'Ordu as he bombarded from the front.
"...This is bad. Flubber doesn't use physical power, so it won't help Poseidon. If anything, it'll hinder it."
Vikir bit his lip.
He hadn't expected Flubber, whom he'd written out of the plan because he didn't think it would be a factor, to be this much of a hindrance.
If Flubber were to enter the fray, absorb the impact and swallow everything up, it would be impossible to activate Poseidon.
However, unlike Vikir, who was feeling tense inside, Aiyen's expression remained relaxed.
"Don't worry, Husby. There is a part of
that believes, just as there is a part of them that believes."
"Hmm? What does that an...."
Suddenly, Vikir's mind flashed back to sothing Aiyen had said to him before they ca down here.
'You wouldn't have been able to do it alone. Didn't Cindy Wendy stop you?'
'She didn't. I wasn't alone.'
The story of the ti when Aiyen attacked Don Quixote, Usher, and Leviathan.
At Vikir's questioning look, Aiyen smirked.
"I didn't co alone, either."
At the sa ti.
kwakwang-
The stalactites on the ceiling were swept away.
Flubber's body, which was hanging from top to bottom, was cut into pieces and burned.
O-oooooh!
Flubber let out a grotesque scream and retracted its tentacles.
At the sa ti, a huge storm of strikes rained down on the backs of D'Ordu and Souare, who were still looking straight ahead.
kwakwakwakwakwang!
With a loud shockwave, D'Ordu, Souare, and Flubber were sent flying at the sa ti.
The blue flas emitted by Poseidon beca even stronger.
"Ugh! Who the...!?"
As D'Ordu and Souare looked up with bloodshot eyes, a shadowy figure was cast across the roaring flas.
Hohohohoho-
A muffled laugh, clearly mocking D'Ordu and Souare as they lay on the ground.
"Blinded by rage, where are you looking?"
A whip crackled with flas.
The person holding it tightly was wearing black tights that covered his entire body and high heels that were over 30 centiters high.
"...!"
For the first ti since entering the Nouvelle Vague, Vikir's eyes widened.
And rightly so, for the figure that had just entered the battlefield had a face that Vikir recognized.
Ms. Uroboros.
Professor Sady, whom he hadn't seen since he dropped out of Colosseo Academy, had entered the battlefield.
