Monster Musume chapter 104: Waiting for an opportunity
“Tsuchino, I"ll bring Tyres-san and because I can"t use my right arm, you take Toururi-san." Tsuchio
『Are you okay...? If you get involved in a battle like that, you"ll die...』Tsuchino
“Yukurishisu won"t ignore them. If they attack, they´ll be attacked. Both of them are quite injured, therefore I cannot leave them alone." Tsuchio
『Okay...lets move quickly』Tsuchino
In the battle between Yukurishisu and Grannir, Toururi and Tyres were struck by a light ray and fell down. It seems there is no consciousness and it is unlikely they would get up. Although I have known them for a few days, those people took care of me a lot. I cannot let them die. I have to save them for first aid.
“We go by one two-three!" Tsuchio
『Only our hands are put out from the shadows! If we extend them for a bit, it will arrive!』Tsuchino
“Ok. Here we go. One, two, three!" Tsuchio
We dive into the shadow of the rubble of the big tower that was falling near and fly to Tyres-san´s shadow. We pa.s.sed through a black s.p.a.ce and reached out into the sunlight. I feel a slightly rough, warm skin on my hand, squeeze and pull in. Tyres is sinking into the shadow. Burned arms stopped the light, lacerations ran everywhere. The feeling I have wasn"t such a terrible injury...but a blown shock, I guess it happened even in a concussion. Is Toururi the same?
Taking Tyres with us, we head towards Toururi´s shadow. I can only see a light window in the black s.p.a.ce, but it seems that Tsuchino knows what shadow is connected to who. This time Tsuchino´s heads out and found Toururi. She grabbed her neck and pulled her in. At the same time as the body entered, a light ray hit the shadow. Exploding while emitting burning light and heat, even though it is in the shadow, we were blown away by the impact.
『Ah, it was dangerous...but we were not attacked!』Tsuchino
“It was good that we were not hit.... But it"s not safe here, so let"s go back quickly." Tsuchio
Returning from the shadows, I pulled up two people along with Tsuchino. Toururi who used her axe as a shield, seems to have failed to prevent it well. From her chest to her belly, there is a big burn mark. What is common to both of them is that they were completely burned. Was it because they were swallowed by that light?
“Are you alright, Father!" Lime
“Yes, there is no problem. Leave them on the ground. Tsuchino, how are they?" Tsuchio
『...It doesn"t seem that bad, but the inside is pretty destroyed. Several bones are broken, so I have to connect them back properly. I will look at the organs.』Tsuchino
Tsuchino will look after those two and uses her healing magic. With that, those two are safe. What about Yukurisishu?
The battle was intensifying. Yukurishisu avoids the rays emitted by Grannir, sometimes with a fist, sometimes in her bat form. It seems that she drains magic by waving one hand. Does it work unless it is a powerful magic as a while ago? Although the skin of her fist which received the light comes off, it seems to be slower to cure when fighting Almira-san. Is it the influence of that sword, is it so strong? Anyway, it is not convenient for Yukurishisu. During the attacks, Yukurisushu is going to win by aiming at the moment of release of the light. Kicking the ground and moving fast, light rays are emitted at close range, but Grannir´s arms are pushed away and forced to deflect. In front of us is the appearance of an unprotected Grannir. With the momentum as it is, Yukurishisu pierced his neck. Her sharp nails broke the scales and meat and jumped out to the other side.
“...It"s over." Grannir
When pulling out her hand, blood splashes from the opened hole. Grannir remains as before and his facial expression has not changed. However, only blood is flowing out. ...Even though her beloved master was killed again, Almira-san is quiet.... Does this mean!
“Yukurishisu! It"s not over yet!" Tsuchio
“!!No way!” Yukurishisu
“Yes, it is so.” Grannir
Grannir grabs Yukurishisu"s neck and lifts her up. The hole opened in her neck is emitting smoke and regenerates. He is immortal!? Is it because of his immortal killing sword.... Having revived, did he gain immortality?
“No matter how much I die, it"s not very pleasant to be pierced through my neck. It is disgusting to hear the unpleasant sound from the inside though the meat is regenerating" Grannir
“Older brother...you became Immortal, gguu..." Yukurishisu
“That"s how it is. No matter how you fight, you can not kill me now." Grannir
Grannir put his immortal killing sword in front of Yukurishisu"s eyes. Tyres and Toururi are stunned, there is little possibility that reinforcements will come. ...I"m completely useless.
“s.h.i.t!!” Tsuchio
“Stop it, human. If you want to live longer." Grannir
I tried to swing my arms by pulling out talismans, but was stopped by Grannir´s words. I am the only one who can fight now...just being able to speak, my body is solid and my teeth are trembling. I am sorry to have tears in my eyes.
“Tsuchio is irrelevant...if you kill, just kill me." Yukurishisu
“Reliable, I won’t do anything if he doesn"t put out his hands from over there. Even if he returns to his continent, I will attack and destroy it immediately, so it is the same thing." Grannir
“If you think that everything will go as you want, it would be a big mistake..." Yukurishisu or Tsuchio
“I will decide what will happen. With this power of immortality, I won"t be defeated. That"s exactly what a G.o.d is." Grannir
“You...don’t look like a G.o.d. Your tone is completely different.” Tsuchio
Grannir swings his arm a lot and pierces Yukurisishu"s neck. The blade pierces the meat and blood that gushed out of the blood vessel got wetted by the body...it was supposed to be so.
“...What does this mean, human?” Grannir
The talisman I threw hits the immortality killing sword from below. The tip was diverted and Yukurishisu´s cheeks were slightly torn. Of course, the wound doesn"t regenerate.
“...It is the end, everyone.” Tsuchio
“Don"t worry, I think I did it." Ruu
“If it was father, I thought so." Lime
“If you are killed here, I misjudged." Rin
“The odds are low, but...there"s no way to say it’s zero, therefore let"s do it." Nichrome
『Well, it will be like this. Haa, it"s tough.』Tsuchino
Whatever trump card I use, even if heaven and earth turns around, we won"t be able to win against Grannir. There is no meaning, idiocy death of an idiot who can not understand the capability difference of ego. That is exactly true, and there is no denying.
“What are you doing, Tsuchio...! You´re going to die, involving your familiars...!" Yukurishisu
“I"m sorry, Yukurishisu. I know that I am stupid. But I don"t want you to die. I also asked Wo-san about you." Tsuchio
“Even if you do it, it is water against rocks...you"re a drag, go anywhere quickly!" Yukurishisu
“It"s no use saying that, it"s too late anyway."
“That"s it, I will die while regretting that I bothered you."
Grannir thrusts his sword into the ground and turns his palm towards us. Enormous magic power is gathered with the intention to completely erase us....
“Can we avoid it...?" Tsuchio
“If we dive left and right, one side may be saved. But I"m sure father is the target..." Lime
“It"s only a few minutes, not enough to care. There is no pain and we will disappear at once." Tsuchio
The palm is covered with dense white light and a huge sphere is formed. It is bigger than what was released before...that size can not be avoided.
“This is the end. I will send you to the same place soon." Grannir
“Oh s.h.i.t, after all I was a little reckless!" Tsuchio
『It can not be helped even if I say it again! I will prevent it!』
The sphere is released and fills my sight with whiteness, swallowing even Tyres and Toururi. I closed my eyes and took it silently. Is this the end...if I don"t come back, what would they think? I can’t visit Spirit-san again and I didn’t get the money back which I lent to those a.s.sa.s.sin sisters. Oh, I wanted to see them once more. I also wanted to see the child dragon who grew up. Thinking like this, I have something left behind....
Am I dead? No, I"m not dead because my feet are still on the ground. Are Ruu and the others holding it? If they take on such a enormous magical power, no matter how, they will be erased. Their magical power is exhausted already, so they can"t do anything. Fearfully, I open my eyelids. And what jumped into my eyes....
“...Who are you.” Tsuchio
『Who? You will see it.』
『It seems to be a little overboard...claiming to be G.o.d.』
『Indeed, the spirit buys time and the case is chosen. It"s not a gala, is it?』
“...Eh, h.e.l.lfire-san? Honey poison-san and Thunderclap-san..." Tsuchio
Between us and Grannir, three huge dragons with their large wings, thick scales and well-developed legs appeared. h.e.l.lfire-san and the others showed up in front of us again.
Monster Musume chapter 105: The calm before the storm
Suddenly, h.e.l.lfire-san and the others appeared in front of us. I think, right now, Grannir shot a ray.... While holding Yukurishisu, he is watching the opponent without hesitation.
“Who are these people..." Grannir
“They´re my acquaintances. A long time ago, I had cured that child"s illness a little." Tsuchio
“You have a lot of acquaintances when you know even those old dragons!?” Grannir
“It was by chance.” Tsuchio
Old dragon? Does he mean h.e.l.lfire-san? Old dragon...does it mean ancient dragon?
“Ancient old harm...what do you need?” Grannir
『It’s rude calling me old harm. And because it"s about your ancestors, we"re not involved.』
“It doesn"t matter. If you came for a pleasure trip, then don"t be involved in our fight. Be silent and watch, and it will be over soon.” Grannir
『That"s why we can"t do it...you"re gonna kill these guys if we leave like this.』
Thunderclap is pointing at us with his tail. I guess they prevented the ray earlier. It won"t be much.
“It is natural. I gave them an opportunity to survive. They misunderstood it. The one who disturbs me will be destroyed completely without exception.” Grannir
『Huh, that kind of thing isn"t an opportunity. It is just self-satisfaction, making reasons to attack and kill people.』h.e.l.lfire
“It doesn"t matter what you think. Why are you old dragons helping humans? It won"t hurt to bring harm and it won"t be a benefit for humans.” Grannir
『Humans are the same as you. Some are invaders like you, but some want to live together like that girl. This human boy saved two dragons and is your enemy. Therefore, we must answer the favor.』h.e.l.lfire
...So, why did they come? When the child dragon was saved, the favor was already returned enough with their protection. The reason why I helped the advanced dragon is because I was asked by Spirit-san. I"m not indebted.
“h.e.l.lfire-san, I owe you..." Tsuchio
『Of course, that is not all. If he starts invading, there is a possibility that he will come to our place. Our power is great, but the authority of time is so terrific.』
『In fact, your ancestors have been persecuted a lot. The old man hates the hardcore.』
“Then, come under my asylum. For those who do not discriminate against such reasons, and those who are strong are welcome." Grannir
Grannir reaches out his hand to h.e.l.lfire-san and the others. Three people who saw it looked at each other, and said.
『Do you think you"re going to ride that kind of story? When you get in, it will be most to be used.』h.e.l.lfire
『It"s old to conquer the world nowadays. The idea is outdated. When you died, the age of war is over～』Honey Poison
『Later, I personally don"t care. For me, everybody dies or disgusted with』Thunderclap
“...So? If you"re with me, you don"t have to live in hiding anymore." Grannir
Grannir throws Yukurishisu away and holds his sword. He is different from the time when he fought us and his whole body was filled with magic power that was still rising.
“No shortage of opponents. If I defeat you guys, my strength will be proved clearly. I didn"t get serious with Yukurishisu, so I"ll make sure this time." Grannir
『Show the power of the self-proclaimed G.o.d.』Thunderclap
『The sins that you have accrued by hurting my disciples, will be atoned ten thousand times over.』Honey Poison
『I can"t let you kill Tsuchio. I have been asked by my child. However, the damage increases when fighting here. Let"s change the place. Danzetsu!』h.e.l.lfire
The moment h.e.l.lfire-san cries out for someone, my view is a few seconds dim. It was a starry sky that came back and jumped into my eyes.
“...Haa?”
“Well, it was night before!? Or rather, where am I!?"
Suddenly, we were thrown out to a different place completely, and my disgusting voice leaked out. We were in a collapsed square near the research tower before moving to another place. In the night sky that was like blotted ink, a light spot, like a small jewel, shined so beautifully, causing the view to be amazing. Such a sky became a dome and wrapped s.p.a.ce, and it was wide enough that the end can not be seen. The ground feels like a tile; it"s a dark blue color that also matches the sky. The light of the moon that glows at the top shines at us vaguely.
“...Teleportation?” Tsuchio
“My s.p.a.ce is a s.p.a.ce made in a different dimension from the world where you were. You can move only in a limited s.p.a.ce and has nothing to do with teleportation" Danzetsu-chan
From behind us, a voice of a sullen girl was heard. When I see it, a tall girl who took up the top of the buddha is ringing the floor with a foot. There are two small horns on her head and a cute short tail from her waist. It is lightly tied around the waist with a crisp creamy hair that stretched out. She is wearing a dubbo-like green jersey, there is no hand out from the sleeve. Well, there is also a jersey in this world....
“After all, a different world?" Tsuchio
“It"s not that far away, I guess. I wasn"t asked to come with you like this, h.e.l.lfire! You said about five people." Danzetsu-chan
『It"s a rotten break, it"s just doubled』
“Double, double, double or twice without knowing! This is why the fighter faction is..." Danzetsu-chan
A girl murmuring to herself. There is a horn and a tail, but is this person also a dragon? Even though h.e.l.lfire and the others are still in the form of a dragon, why is she a human?
“As I was instructed, I made a large s.p.a.ce. Because there is also alt.i.tude, you can also fight in the air, are you satisfied with this?" Danzetsu-chan
『Thanks ~, Danzetsu-chan. If we fight seriously, the neighborhood will turn into scorched earth~』Honey Poison
『I cannot find something else so easily and it was the fastest thing to use your world.』h.e.l.lfire
“I get it. Because it won"t be broken absolutely, you can run wild as much as you like. Hey, was it Tsuchio? You guys, come with those unconscious people there and that girl to me." Danzetsu-chan
“I understand. Everyone, please don"t die." Tsuchio
『Don"t worry, just look at me from behind.』h.e.l.lfire
It"s much more dependable than a large boat. Yukurishisu...no, she fainted. She was strangled all the time while I was talking. We gathered all together and follow Danzetsu-chan. Walk for a while and I feel resistance in front of the body. It walked through the front as if there was nothing, and the one looking like a membrane was penetrated when stepping on the foot without minding. After the pa.s.sing, the s.p.a.ce shakes like a soap bubble though it is a little.
“The membrane is a s.p.a.ce gap. Outside and inside, the dimensions are different." Danzetsu-chan
“Eh, did we cross the wall of s.p.a.ce? How?" Tsuchio
“Well, this is the s.p.a.ce that I made. I can make a lot of things.” Danzetsu-chan
She made a s.p.a.ce...this person?
“Well, can we go back here? Here, let’s sleep in here."
When Danzetsu-san snaps her finger, a bed and a large amount of cushion appeared from empty s.p.a.ce suddenly and falls down with a loud sound. She removed the cushions and jumped into the bed. Oh, small wings are growing on her back. They´re totally small....
“Well, is it okay calling you Danzetsu-san? I´m Tsuchio, nice to meet you." Tsuchio
“Polite, I´m Danzetsu. I"ve heard stories about you from h.e.l.lfire-san." Danzetsu-chan
“Is that so? Why is Danzetsu-san a human?” Tsuchio
“In order to maintain a large s.p.a.ce, it consumes a lot of magical power. With this figure, I can save a considerable amount of magical power. h.e.l.lfire and the others are unusual." Danzetsu
To avoid extra energy consumption usually? Well, does Ruu also have a figure as a dragon? Why not I ask her when we survive. Better now....
“You´re like a psychic to make s.p.a.ce and fly." Tsuchio
“Instead, there is no power as a dragon. My body is tiny and slow to fly. I can"t shoot a breath." Danzetsu
“In terms of capabilities, it seems like overall s.p.a.ce manipulation." Tsuchio
“That"s right, I can control the environment of what I made. Usually, I"m rambling in a smaller s.p.a.ce..." Danzetsu
Indeed, withdrawal? There is such a race in the world.
“Okay, the battle will begin. I guess it"s okay here, but you may be shocked, so be careful." Danzetsu
“Will they win? That man is immortal." Tsuchio
“Well, I"m sure you can see some interesting battles." Danzetsu
“It"s not the time to say such a thing..." Tsuchio
“Well, that"s okay. Those three, because they are genuine fighters inside us. Oh, we are about a young old dragon. A new generation. Better look at this fight completely. You can not see the earnestness of the old dragon; you can not see it casually." Danzetsu
Danzetsu quietly lies on the sofa and is thrilled like a child. It"s so amazing ... it"s unscrupulous, but it"s a little fun.
Under the night sky, we see opposing dragons. Grannir seems to fight like a human and set up his sword. On the other side are three dragons. Are they going to fight three to one? They"re not going to do that.
『Let"s fight fair, one versus one.』h.e.l.lfire-san
“I don"t mind doing that. Who among you guys is fighting?" Grannir
『Of course it is me.』h.e.l.lfire-san
h.e.l.lfire-san is coming out. And as his name says he would surely be a dragon manipulating fire. He also gave his divine protection to Ruu.
『I"ll pick up the bones.』
『He seems to be immortal, so I have to stop it tightly~.』
『I know, look there. You don"t have a chance.』
“Have you just said that I"m calm and composed?"
『No, I have no desire to do such a thing. Now that we"ve set the stage, we"ll do our best.』
h.e.l.lfire´s magic power rises in the state of battle. This old dragon is on a different level from us. I don"t know how much Grannir"s total magic is, but I wonder if the winner will vanish by fire.
『In vain.』h.e.l.lfire
“Seiyaaaaaaaa!!!” Grannir
Before winning, Grannir quickly approaches with his feet exploding and swinging up his sword, held with both hands, from the bottom. h.e.l.lfire-san is spreading his wings and creates a whirlwind and this appearance in the sky is a suitable figure for the name of undefeated champion. Grannir also rises in the sky with the swinging momentum. He pulled down h.e.l.lfire and kept his sword in the upper row above his head and struck at once. The sword is wrapped by the same shining white light and the ray that we tried to erase is shot out. Sword slash leaves a sparkling trail. Was the first bottom slash aimed as a faint, from the beginning to the sky? If the sword slams down from overhead, h.e.l.lfire-san will be torn before avoiding it.
『Hmph!』h.e.l.lfire
However, the interception is in time. Splitting a mountain and breaking the ocean, he held up his sharp claws and gathered power enough to crush the ground. The sword and claw intersect and a shock wave is raging due to the magical power collision. Despite being in the sky, the floor directly below is dented on the tray. It seems that h.e.l.lfire-san is winning even in power, because he shakes off his arms and blows Grannir away. The opponent can"t do it at all by himself, but while he was blown away, he shot a light beam and hit the right shoulder of h.e.l.lfire. Although there are no scratches on it, there is a slight burn mark. h.e.l.lfire is surprised.
『Will it hurt my scales without stopping...again, you´re a young creature that is likely to have bones.』h.e.l.lfire
“The name of an ancient dragon isn"t dandy.... Until now, you´re the strongest opponent I have ever fought.” Grannir
Each other, take their stance again in the air. The battle has just begun.
