Chapter The Battle with Compet.i.tion
"Who are you calling donkey head!?"
"Be careful with your attacks, moron!"
"What are the beastkins doing here!?"
"Is this propaganda?"
The surrounding beasts were wide-eyed in astonishment and annoyed at the presence of the beastkins in their holy battle with their almighty Beast G.o.d.
"Ha ha ha!" Sylvia laughed like a great villain but looked like a psychopathic devilish black dragon. She was using her demonic dragon form, swiftly eliminating all of her opponents.
"Well, you seem very eager to win this game, Sylvi." Lynn shook her head.
"She has something in mind for Master Elysia. I know that." Vanessa muttered under her breath.
"Then, I can"t let her win so easily." Yuuki smirked and took out her powerful bow, Moondawn. She jumped and shot high into the sky.
She aimed at a swarm of giant cursed maggots. "Moondawn, please a.s.sist me!"
Yuuki used her extreme ice cold ability and let Moondawn do the rest for her. She was enveloped in a super cold aura typical of a blizzard, and a blue arrow emerged from her bow.
"They have resistance to fire, as well as magic. However, these are innate abilities. Let"s see how much will be destroyed from this attack." Yuuki pulled her arrow string and immediately fired a super cold arrow. "Freeze them all!"
*Swoosh!*
The blue arrow fell like a comet shrouded in a blizzard and shot into a giant hole filled with thousands of maggots.
*Crackle* *Crackle*
The giant maggots gradually froze into chunks of ice and fell to the bottom of the pit. It was a unique sight because the thousands of cursed monsters currently looked like ice in a bucket.
"Final Shot, Ice Wave!" Yuuki shot another arrow into the giant hole.
Just as the arrow was nearing the bottom, she snapped her fingers. The blue arrow suddenly exploded into a super-cold shockwave.
Thousands of chunks of ice crumbled into tiny particles, leaving none alive.
"I did it!" Yuuki landed back on the ground and pranced with joy. She was pretty satisfied with her control and improvement of her innate ability.
"That"s cheating!" Sylvia shouted in disbelief from a distance.
"I didn"t break any rules. Moondawn is a special weapon, not a divine weapon~" Yuuki stuck out his tongue and fled towards the anti-curse mechanism. She needed to protect herself from the attack of the cursed energy of the thousands of monsters she had just exterminated.
"You sly vixen! Can"t you just let me win this game? If it"s like this, I"ll go with plan B." Sylvia clicked her tongue and took out several sophisticated weapons her father had given her.
It was a glistening white long-barreled cannon with a few blue circuits. A mini version of the Disintegrator Cannon, the newest and most lethal ultimate weapon the Devil Race has.
"Let"s see which is faster. You absorb my attack magic or perish without being able to do anything." Sylvia jumped high into the air. Her cannon recharged for power, and bluish energy gathered at the muzzle before a laser beam was fired at the horde of monsters in the distance.
*Boom!*
A blast occurred, and dozens of giant maggots disappeared into ashes, leaving only a steamy crater as a testament to the weapon"s power.
"Wow, this is more awesome and cooler than the prototype version! I think it"s very effective because they are a weak opponent. They were annihilated before they could neutralize any energy. Let"s shower them with ma.s.s extermination, heehee~" Sylvia chuckled and accurately fired several shots at her enemies. She activated an anti-curse mechanism and put it next to her to ensure her safety from the curse.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Several explosions occurred alternately, wiping out many giant maggots. However, some of the mighty beasts trembled a bit. They felt threatened by the tremors of their survival instincts. The third-party reinforcements group was too dangerous, and they were afraid of getting hit by a stray attack. To die because of friendly fire was a real shame and disgrace.
"That"s not any other dragonkin, but a mad dragon!"
"Holy Beast! Does she want to annihilate us to ashes too!?"
"Hey, watch out for your shots, girl!"
"This battle is over! We are over. The Beastkin Race will invade us. This is just the beginning of their aggression."
"Are you stupid? They seem to be in a team working together. Look, there are humans too, and-"
"Why don"t you finish your sentence?"
"There is a human girl and the G.o.ddess? I remembered the fairy over there is the G.o.ddess of Blessings of the Human Race."
"So, you"re saying that these beastkins moved under another divine being"s command and came with the Beast G.o.d?"
"That"s most likely true. But, those beastkins and their group treat our holy battle as a fcking game. It was as if we are nothing to their eyes!"
The beasts muttered with varied, complex impressions and feelings. However, the captain salamander suddenly hit his comrades on the shoulder and advised them firmly. "Instead of talking nonsense, hurry up and exterminate these disgusting maggots from our land. Those beastkins may incite hatred or discontent within you, but they are still reinforcements. Move, move, and exterminate those maggots! You may lose your life at any moment if you are careless. This is the battlefield!"
"Yes, sir!" The beasts returned to their compose and charged at the giant cursed maggot monsters with full vigor.
"a.s.sist Beast G.o.d in exterminating these disgusting maggots! Leave none alive, and none should escape this area!" The captain salamander shouted aloud and went back to the forefront with the most enemies.
The battle became heated, and everyone was burning with pa.s.sion for eradicating the accursed creatures. Those monsters" threat was no joke. All beasts were wary and careful. They only fought inside anti-curse zones, but it was still necessary to move their safe zone several times because their enemies kept trying to escape.
Meanwhile, Sylvia and the game partic.i.p.ants were forced to end their extermination act because the Sea G.o.d stopped them. They cleared more than half of the battlefield, and they needed to spare some for the Beast G.o.d and the beasts.
"Well, fine then. Those despicable creatures are fragile and easy to eradicate if used the right method." Sylvia walked back with her group and glanced at their former battle area. Their game was declared over, and it was time for them to return.
"Hmm, only a few hundred giant monsters are left. The Beast G.o.d and the beasts can handle the rest effortlessly." Vanessa wiped her hands with a handkerchief. She then inspected her body, but there were no stains or dirt stuck to her since she was extra careful in keeping herself clean.
"So, who is the winner in this game? Gio perhaps acc.u.mulated the highest score here because he eradicated so many monsters with just one simple earth element destruction technique." Lynn covered her mouth and glanced at the gallant earth dragon behind her.
"The clear winner is me. There"s no doubt." Sylvia put her hand on her upper chest and puffed out her chest proudly.
"That"s not necessarily the case. Maybe, I am the sole winner here. Let"s check with the G.o.ddess of Blessings to be sure." Yuuki wiggled her finger left and right.
"Yup, our score has been calculated by a divine being, and we"ll know who the victor is." Sylvia spoke in a casual tone, but she actually cared a lot. She even hastened her steps back to Elysia"s side to determine who got the highest score in this game and deserved a prize.
Vanessa, Yuuki, and Lynn quickened their pace as well. However, Ella and Evelyn still walked at ease along with Gio.
"It"s a pleasant sight to behold. Ely can unite differences regardless of racial strife. Perhaps, world peace can be achieved soon." Ella grasped her hand with a gentle smile on her face.
"This world will probably become beautiful when the real peace treaty can actually be implemented. There will be no more racial strife or meaningless wars." Evelyn began to wonder about a bright future.
"However, it seems that it will only be temporary wishful thinking. What will happen to this world when Ely and the others leave will only be decided by the inhabitants of this world." Ella looked up at the blue sky with a sigh.
"You say that as if you didn"t include yourself, Ella." Evelyn frowned as she looked at her friend"s face.
"Hmm-mm, I will only follow the will of the G.o.ddess of Blessings, Eve. My body and soul belong to her divine self alone." Ella clasped her hands in prayer, but her eyes flashed an adoring look at the sight of her G.o.ddess.
"..." Evelyn fell silent. She had felt that Ella"s character had somewhat changed since their meeting with the G.o.ddess of Blessings, especially since Ella was declared an angel candidate. However, she didn"t feel anything was wrong.
Maybe, she would be an extreme devotee when she made Elysia her G.o.ddess. Her G.o.ddess was her best friend too... So, her best G.o.ddess friend?
"Yay! As expected, I am the winner. Thank you, everyone, for your partic.i.p.ation, but there is only one winner with a prize here." Sylvia jumped up and down in joy to find that she was number one on the scoreboard.
"..." Vanessa and Yuuki just fell silent with a slight pout. Their ears went limp as if they were disappointed with the result. Lynn somehow felt that way too, and that was the one that confused her the most.
"Worry not. You all can always request some head pats or fluffy time with your master anytime and anywhere~" Lifa covered her mouth. Her speech sounded light and playful, but it gave the three girls a brilliant idea.
Their ears straightened up again with some excitement as if they couldn"t wait to ask for it. They looked at Elysia with an expectant gaze, and they could see that Elysia didn"t mind it. So, it was proven, unlimited head pats and fluffy times!
"Hehe, thank you for your hard work, everyone. You must be feeling a bit tired. Do you want to unwind with a refreshing drink while waiting for Sea G.o.d to finish his prank on the Beast G.o.d?" When everyone had gathered, she smiled gently. She presented a picnic mat with various fresh drinks, fruit and dessert.
"Wonderful! Sea G.o.d will take some time. Thank you for your consideration, Ely. I"m feeling a bit thirsty, um, some fruit looks delicious too." Sylvia rubbed her hands and licked her lips. She became the first guest for the refreshment.
"Everyone, please have a seat." Elysia welcomes all of them. They enjoyed their short leisure time without caring about a battle taking place a few dozen meters away from them.
At that time, Oceanid was still throwing several giant maggots at Regulus with evil laughter. At the same time, Regulus roared with rage and retaliated several times. It was like a throwing game with some giant maggots as the ball.
