Ep. 134

After a short lull, the battle resumed.

Its fin, which boasted a size of more than tens of meters, hit the beach sand hard. A small earthquake shook our bodies, followed by an enormous amount of sand and dirt rising up.

A wall of sand formed as the land turned over and attacked us.

｢Danger｣｢Avoiding｣

While Aadhai, carrying the Mother of Heaven, was avoiding the baptism of sand and dirt through aerobatics, I quickly crawled to No. 26.

｢Keuuuuun!｣

He tried to hold the sand together with 'binds', but it was no use. With his current skills, he cannot bind a large amount of sand at once. I caught him and mounted him on his tail carapace.

[Zuzu (careful)]

A pile of dirt the size of a rock falls on my head. Moving at high speed, you avoid large sand clumps, and the enemy's legs fly in between them.

'Both the Sea Demon and I are immune to poison.'

Even so, the massive power contained in those tentacles cannot be ignored. Even if I can hold on, if No. 26 hits that leg, I'll be cut in two.

The tentacles hidden inside the stomach respond to my will and jump out.

The eroding tentacles, which were much more durable than the vampire tentacles coming out of the fighting arms, deflected the incoming Pale Mask attack.

'Next is breath.'

You can slightly see it opening its mouth through the sand barrier.

None of us can withstand its digestive juices. Even as I was running away, I was wondering where the guy's acidic breath would fly, when No. 26 from behind came out. He took control of a large rock falling towards us and fired it at him.

"Giiii?!"

Pale Mask, who had been hit on the head by a stone, immediately closed his mouth. In that moment, I was out of range of the sand barrage.

Adhai, who had avoided the sand barrier by flying as high as me, took a detour and charged again.

The faces attached to Pale Mask fired shock waves, but the guy successfully avoided them by showing excellent aerobatics.

Even as air was exploding in the air, its speed did not drop one bit. When he got close to the Pale Mask, the Mother of Heaven came out. In both hands she held the priest's golden spear.

｢Now!｣

｢Confirmation｣

The speed of the thing that approached closely on the fin of the Pale Mask drastically decreased. In response, the Mother of Heaven let out a loud javelin.

As the javelin plunged deep into the fin, Aadhai quickly struck again. As the sharpness of the javelin combined with its acceleration, the wound on its fin began to widen rapidly.

｢Giik!｣

Pale Mask, who lost half of his fin in an instant, groaned in pain. It lifted itself up using its other fin to hit Aadhai with its body.

｢Tch!｣

｢Danger｣｢Avoid｣

Although she may be the mother of heaven, Aadhai's defense power is not that high. The chances of being safe when colliding with something as large as 50 meters are slim.

Adhaj quickly gained altitude to avoid collision with the creature, and the Sky Mother's attack was halted.

While the guys were fighting furiously, I thought quickly.

Although it caused significant damage to Pale Mask, it is difficult to consider it a fatal wound considering its enormous size.

Something new is needed.

'There is still about an hour left on the cooldown of the symbol of the hunt.'

Therefore, it is impossible to use it during battle. You must use it when eating after catching it.

Aside from the symbol of hunting, there is one more thing that can be considered a trump card.

A characteristic obtained by feasting on Yuil-class equipment.

'That trait could wipe out Pale Mask…'

Unfortunately, that trait cannot be used when fighting Pale Mask. This is because characteristics that require concentration cannot be used due to hypnotic waves. Psychic Breath cannot be used for the same reason.

'And if you use that trait, predation will go away.'

I have never used that characteristic acquired with the Marauder's Irregular Polyhedron until now.

But I knew it intuitively.

That characteristic is said to have such tremendous power that the psychic breath is called 'something like that'.

If he matches those characteristics, his body will evaporate without leaving anything behind.

'Most of the characteristics that can be obtained from the Pale Mask are useful.'

Things like 'Giant Creature', which is a common trait for creatures over 50 meters long, or an trait that allows you to create parasites in your body that shoot hypnotic waves, etc.

You can't lose all those good qualities.

Since the situation is not that disadvantageous yet, let's put 'that characteristic' on hold for now.

'I should try using the terrain instead.'

It is a large marine monster, but not on land. Movement is limited as the body is not suitable for land combat. You have to take advantage of that gap.

I put No. 26 down in a safe place and ran to him.

Meanwhile, Pale Mask is trying to build a sand barrier by hitting the ground with its fin again. When it sees me crawling, it stops moving and takes a defensive stance.

But it's not he I'm after.

To be precise, its 'bottom'.

After closing the distance between me and him, I stopped running and clawed at the ground with my fighting arms. In an instant, a hole appeared that I could fit into.

｢Giiii?｣｢Giiii!｣｢Giii!｣

The guy, wary of what I might do again, opened his mouth wide. A powerful acid breath was fired in my direction.

This time I was one step faster. When it spewed acidic breath, I had already hid in the ground.

I crawled under where Pale Mask was lying and used all my might to dig into the ground with my fighting arms. So that if it moves its body too much, it can be buried in the ground.

'You have to dig wide and deep.'

My fighting arms and erosion tentacles became excavators, breaking up the solid ground and pushing back the excavated dirt with claws attached to various parts of my body.

Because one of his arms was broken, there were inevitably parts that could not be dealt with, but this part was handled by Tails instead. My tail, which took up a large proportion of my body, shook left and right and cleaned up the dirt.

The ground on the beach has weakened rapidly, but the guy above doesn't seem to know it yet. He's busy fighting with kids who bother him.

After digging deep into the area where it was located as well as the surrounding area, I used the monster's tentacles to shoot waves at the kids.

[Zuz zu zuzu zu zuzu zu (make him move big)]

｢Understand｣

｢Yes!｣

｢What? What are you doing now…Ugh?!"

The guys immediately understood what I meant and moved quickly.

Because the hypnotic waves were weakening the functions of the auxiliary organs, it was impossible to determine exactly what was happening above. However, seeing the ground shaking violently, it seemed like it was running wild.

｢Giiii!｣｢Giii!｣

In the end, Pale Mask seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and let out a cry of anger. As if the previous shaking was nothing, a strong shock permeated the ground below.

and.

｢Gikik?!｣

The weakened ground collapsed and its fin fell into the hole. At that timing, I applied force to my tail and pushed my body upward.

Like a dragon ascending to heaven, my body breaks through the half-collapsed ground and soars into the air. Pale Mask's eyes widen greatly when he sees me suddenly popping out from underground. The look in your eyes as if asking why you came out there.

Instead of answering, I pounced on his stomach. The guy, who was half buried in the ground and whose posture was broken, couldn't escape me.

This is a body press with my own weight, boasting a long and gigantic body that is a whopping 20 meters long. The moment I and the guy collided, the entire island beach shook violently.

｢Giik?!｣

The shock from the collision just now was so great that the Pale Mask was unable to respond properly.

I gained momentum and started wrapping my body around his head again. This time, unlike before, I aimed not at the end of the head, but near the body.

That is, the part where the eyes and mouth are.

My fighting arms and eroding tentacles moved nimbly, tightly gripping the creature's jaws to prevent it from opening its mouth, and my body and tail wrapped around the creature from the top of its head to the bottom.

｢Giiii?!｣｢Giiii!｣｢Giiii!｣

Sensing that he was being held tighter than before, the guy tried his best to escape somehow.

He tried to make me fall by slamming my head on the ground like before, but the result was different.

The surrounding ground is not hard at all because I dug it all up. It goes without saying that even if he hangs me on the soft ground and slams me to the ground, he won't be able to do much damage.

'More here.'

I wrapped my arms around his body and looked at his wounds. There is a wound close to me that I made earlier when I stabbed it with my horn.

I opened my jaw wide and sunk my teeth into that area. And the putrefactive fungal organs and acid fungal glands were simultaneously activated.

｢Geek?!｣

Its leather is very thick and provides immunity to poison, so it cannot be penetrated by rotting mold or acid fungus.

However, the flesh inside the outer shell is a different story.

The head area has lower immunity to fungi and viruses than the outer skin. Even if it is protected by cerebrum oil and a thick layer of fat, the fact that it is close to the vital area does not change.

Of course, since he is a big guy, it will take some time for the putrefaction mold and acid fungus to take effect.

The guy, who had not yet realized what was going on in his body, took his next action. He turned his entire body over and tried to crush me.

It weighs more than 5 times as much as me. If I were to be crushed by that guy, I would be crushed to death.

｢Giiii?｣｢Giii!｣｢Giiii｣

But this time, he couldn't achieve his goal.

The guy's body is half buried in the sand. Even raising your body with your fins won't be easy. This would be an action that could be easily accomplished in the water, but this is land. Its heavy body, its most powerful weapon, is merely an inconvenient element here.

Besides, I'm not the only one interfering with his movements.

You can see a dragon floating in the night sky at dawn and a griffon beast riding on its back. Adhai, carrying the Mother of Heaven, dives towards the Pale Mask.

Thanks to the priest's golden spear held by the Mother of Heaven, their appearance was reminiscent of a golden shooting star.

Then the shining star collided with the vicious sea monster.

Thanks to the acceleration generated while diving, the short spear held by the Mother of Heaven cut through that thick fin without difficulty.

"Squeak!"

The creature screamed as its fin, which was like an arm and body, was cut off almost entirely. As the wound was over 10 meters long, blue blood poured like a waterfall from the cut area. The creature, which was exerting strength with its fins to turn its body over, collapsed to the ground.

The fins, which play an important role in swimming in addition to being used as weapons, fell off, leaving only a small portion of the fins. Even if he gets out of this place safely, I don't know how long it will take him to recover. He's also intelligent, so he probably doesn't know that fact.

｢Giiii!｣｢Giiii!｣｢Giii!｣｢Giii!｣｢Giii!｣｢Giii!｣ The

expressions of the faces on the body changed suddenly as if to show that only poison was left in the bastard. The pale woman's face was distorted into a demonic shape and glared at Adhai.

The parasites all opened their mouths wide and fired shock waves. Invisible bullets of air flew towards Adhai and the Heavenly Mother.

In response, Adhaya performed incredibly fast and sophisticated aerobatics to avoid all of the incoming shock waves.

"Be careful around the right wing!"

The Mother of Heaven, with her sharp eyes, read the air flow and relayed the details that he had missed in the middle of

"Confirmation" to Aadhai.

However, Aadhai's injury has not fully healed yet. I'm doing well to avoid it now, but I don't know how long I can do that.

I gave my tightening body more strength. The blunt claws on the tail and various parts of the body penetrated the thick leather of the Pale Mask and dug in firmly. As my body, coiled like a snake, tightened, I heard an eerie friction sound.

"Squeak?!" "Squeak!" "Squeak!"

The crying sounds made by the faces became strange. This may be because it knew that the host was in extreme danger.

It fired a series of shock waves at Aadhai and at the same time used all of its legs to hit my back armor and outer shell.

'Pfft!'

The impact felt like being hit by a log, and pieces of the skin broke off. It was not a small pain, but I somehow endured it, believing only in pain relief.

At that time, several huge chunks of rock scattered around emerged and flew towards the guy's legs.

"Geeeee!" "Squeak!"

Every time I hit a chunk of rock, the path of my legs was distorted and I hit my own body instead of my entangled body.

"Big baby! "I'll help you!"

From afar, No. 26 can be seen waving its tentacles as if a conductor is leading.

Trees and rocks surrounding the beach were pulled out and flew into the air, following the movement of the tentacles and landing on Pale Mask's body and legs.

｢Quick!｣｢ꙙ?!｣｢Keek!｣

Compared to its body covered in thick leather, the parasitic organisms on its body have relatively low defense power. The pale woman's face was instantly covered in blood after being hit by stones and trees.

As the number of people shooting shock waves decreased, Adhai also flew in this direction again. Every time the Pale Mask's body sticks out from the ground, the Mother of Heaven stabs and slashes with her javelin.

When Pale Mask tries to respond, rocks and tree fragments fly again. No. 26 did not forgive him for bullying the 'little baby'.

Of course, while all of this is going on, my body is steadily tightening its grip on his head.

｢Kiik!｣｢Kiiiii!｣

I kept tightening it, but it felt like something like a balloon was being crushed and bursting from inside. His eyeballs were unable to withstand the pressure and were damaged.

When the eyeball exploded, the thing went crazy. He must have realized that death was just around the corner.

It plowed through the ground using its other fin and legs, which were still intact.

The guy who managed to get out of the pit with his life crawled towards his hometown, the sea where the light of dawn fell.

but.

｢Ki gi-i-i?｣｢Ki-ik?!｣｢Kik!｣

The guy who was crawling hard on the sand stumbled greatly. Faces that don't understand why the host is like this make questioning sounds.

'good. It works.

The putrefaction mold and acid fungus that I had been injecting from earlier were slowly taking effect. Even though it looks fine on the outside, on the inside, the flesh is rotting away due to putrefactive fungus, and the muscles and blood vessels are dissolving due to acidic fungus.

There isn't much time left for him now.

Moreover, my friends Adhai and No. 26 don't seem to have any intention of letting him die on his own.

Aadhai tenaciously aimed at Pale Mask like a bald eagle taunting its dying prey. The Heavenly Mother's javelin riding on its back also never rested.

While the two attacked together, No. 26 did not lose and continued to launch 'Demon Crash', completely destroying its hide.

Aimoff Gallagon Sea Demon and even Wolff.

The sea monster was being completely devastated by the four monsters.

｢Hiiii….｣｢Hiiii….｣｢Hiiii….｣

The movement of the Pale Mask became slower and slower, and it could no longer move and stopped in place. As the host died, the condition of the parasites deteriorated rapidly. There were very few faces that shot out shock waves, and the rest just let out unintelligible groans.

It lowered its head less than a few meters from the sea. He took one last deep breath and soon became quiet.

｢Kiyaaaaaaak!｣｢Keeeeeeek!｣｢Kiiiii!｣

The faces on the pale masks let out terrible screams. The parasites, who did not forget their disgusting behavior until the end, soon followed behind their hosts.

Before dawn, the father whom the Fishrians of the Archipelago served was dead.
