When they left Meia"s house, Alice said to Marco with an annoyed face.Alice: You sure do like to be used by others… There"s no point in doing such a personal request as that.
Marco: There is a reason… It"s just that I can"t tell it right now due to some reasons, which can"t be said, too… And then it would be boring just going around without doing something, at least I help people who need my help.
Alice sighed and said with an annoyed tone.
Alice: And when monsters asked for your body? Why did you not help them?
Marco: Why you want to f.u.c.k me when there are men everywhere?
Alice: Tsk…
Alice knew she couldn"t win an argument with Marco and stopped talking while Marco looked forward.
Marco: Don"t worry, it will be a bit entertaining…
While Alice looked exasperated, Marco and her walked out from the town and headed towards the beach.
[Later]
They reached the beach, the small waves were crashing in the white sand and then retreat back, there were some stones nearby, and the air was really fresh compared to the beach of his old world.
Marco: *Inhales* Alright, let"s do this…
Then Marco extended an hand towards the sea, and Alice disappeared, from the place where Marco pointed with his hand, a monster crawled out.
Marco: "What a coincidence…"
The monster girl this time was a giant crab, she had many legs as she had many human arms a bit over the legs and she had a pair of big pinchers.
Her human part was simple, her body stood where the crab"s head should be, from the abdomen and beyond she was completely human, she had red twintails and a medium bust.
Crab Girl: ...Hey. Could you give me a little of your s.e.m.e.n? I"m a little hungry…
Marco: And so said the other… 6...8...11… Yeah, 11 monsters said that… That is a surprise after knowing how many fights I was part of…
The crab girl didn"t get what he meant, and said.
Crab Girl: So is that a yes or no?
Marco: Certainly… No. Now can you leave? I need to go inside the sea…
Crab Girl: …
The monster girl was surprised from Marco"s casual behavior, but she just recovered from it and smirked, before raising her pinchers menacingly.
Crab Girl: Then I"ll force myself in you, cleaning every part of your body…
The Crab Girls were famous for their natural-made soap which could clean perfectly something dirty, they usually used it to clean their bodies or to excite the males, but this one picked the wrong male…
Marco used the 1st Gate, showing his aurmade tail, which took the shape of a claw and blocked an incoming pincher, while he used his left arm to block the other pincher, the Crab Girl was surprised from his strength.
But her surprise turned in pain when she was moved some meters away from Marco, who had his remaining arm extended towards where she was before and curled in a fist.
Marco: "Jesus, that exoskeleton is pretty hard… But it will not stop me from my upgrade!"
Then Marco rushed at the monster with an incredible speed, and used Demon Decapitation at her neck, her skin was hard, but not enough to avoid a cut from his claws. From her cut, magical power came out, surprising the girl who used her hand to cover the cut.
Crab Girl: You…!
Marco: Don"t get distracted...
The crab girl heard Marco"s voice at her back, and turned her head to find Marco smiling at her, his tail took the shape of a claw once again, and it smashed at her chest at full strength, she spit magical powers, and started to glowing before being sealed in a small crab.
Then Marco deactivated his gate, letting the aura flowing back inside him, the small crab was encircling his feet instead of running away, and pinched his toe, since wearing boots in a beach was something a bit stupid because he would need to go underwater.
So he left them in his backpack, which left his feet unprotected, the pinch hurted Marco, who got angry and kicked away the crab in the sea.
Marco: That d.a.m.n f.u.c.ker…
Alice came back and looked at Marco with amus.e.m.e.nt.
Alice: ….Having trouble?
Marco: Tsk… Let"s just go…
Then Marco held his arm towards the sea, his palm shined brightly, and shot out a beam of light far out into the sea, surprising Alice.
Alice: Is that…
Marco: That is the power of the ball of guidance, the ball in itself is useless right now… Somehow I can absorb the powers of certain items, like with Angel Halo.
Alice was surprised, if Marco could, then he would be able to absorb any enchantment and become almost invincible.
Alice: How?
Marco: It"s part of the reason I accepted the quest…
Alice sighed and looked at what Marco did now.
Alice: So you created a road of light to follow…
Marco: Eeeyup, now let"s go, you don"t have any problem with swimming, right?
Alice: Hmph… Who do you take me for? I"m the Monster Lord, I can slither, I can fly, and I can swim, this is one of the basic things that you should know to become a Monster Lord.
Marco shrugged and both him and Alice stepped in the tunnel of light created from Marco, before starting to swim, both of them could breathe underwater, Marco because he had the enchantment while Alice was the Monster Lord, like she said.
Marco and Alice continued to swim deeper and deeper, and Alice suddenly talked.
Alice: Reaching the bottom of the sea on this road… The trial of a couple that wishes to marry… Knocking down every monster that challenges them to show their courage…
Marco: Well, I would do the same for the people important to me… Even if nothing would work… I would try it… Whatever… Do other monsters have unusual customs like this?
Alice: It"s different depending on the type of monster. Some don"t care at all who their partner is, and others have extremely detailed restrictions and requirements. My family requires two conditions to be met before they are allowed to be a partner.
Marco: "The first is…"
Alice: ...The man has to be strong.
Marco: "The second is…"
Alice: ...The man has to want to get married. Only a man stronger than the female is allowed to marry someone of my clan. That"s our law.
Marco already knew about it, since it was only a game for him 15 years ago, he may have forgot some less important things like some random monsters, but he still remembered clearly the plot.
While Alice said that, she let out a little smile when Marco was turned towards another direction, she didn"t want Marco to know, for the moment. Marco was looking at the sea with an amazed look on his face.
Marco: If this is what I see during my journey, then I don"t regret starting it…
Alice and Marco looked at the depth of the sea, full of colored fishes and other animals, with many different plants.
Alice: ...For now. The deep sea is the monster"s domain. They will attack you without mercy once you"re noticed. Like her…
Marco: Huh?
Then Marco turned, and was immediately smashed downwards, the thing that came against him was a MOTHERf.u.c.kING WHALE GIRL, she noticed him and smirked before using her body to smash him in the depth of the sea.
Marco was falling downwards with a broken arm, but the water helped him slowing down, when he stabilized himself, he used 1st Gate, and his arm slowly regenerated, and then he looked upwards, towards the incoming whale girl, who was smiling at him.
The monster was gargantuan, and the whale"s head was full of tentacles while in the middle of that place stood the upper body of a woman with really long blue hair and a really big bust.
She was giving a s.a.d.i.s.tic smile to Marco, who was still regenerating his arm and waited for her to come to him.
Marco: Tsk… I need the 3rd Gate again… "Who cares, nothing will stop me to get that G.o.dd.a.m.n upgrade!"
