Chapter 120: Awakening of Destruction, Part 2

Name:Action Author:Amazake No Hisago
Soon, the “Beast” began to fly slowly through the sky, trailing clouds of dust. It turned towards the west, heading towards the decisive battlegrounds of the giants, where the Question was unfolding.

“What perfect timing. The Rubel Clan and the Clan Alliance, all the giants are trying to kill each other. Even if you say it’s for the Question, it’s simply the deeds of barbarians. We should lend them a hand here. Ah, of course, we can just have them keep asking until they go extinct.”

Following the movements of the “Beast”, the cretovastia begin to move. Those who call destruction, the scatterers of filth, the manifestations of death. The corrosive demon beasts conquer the forest sky.

There were those who watched the march of the beasts that consumed the sky. A short distance away from the place once known as (((Upper Town/Upper Street/Kamigai))) people were gathered. They were the goblins of Upper Town. They were surrounded by Phantom Beast Knights who seemed to be guarding them.

They muttered to themselves as they felt the strange melody recede into the distance.

“The town……it’s gone”

“Ah, how are we going to live from now on? Was it really necessary to move that thing?”

“But we couldn’t just keep following the giants. If (((Lord Oberon/King Oberon/Oberon-sama))) hadn’t tamed it, eventually we would have been eaten.”

“Besides, Lord Oberon has headed towards the battle. The “ship” will come for us soon, we just have to be patient until then.”

Filled with anticipation and unease, the goblins could do nothing but wait. Believing what Oberon had told them. That their future would change.

“What’s that!?”

After a while they noticed when something was trying to pass overhead. A huge shadow covers them, and the wind echoes out of it as it leisurely advances—— A ship.

“Oh! That must also be a part of Lord Oberon’s army”

“Is it going to join together with the others and defeat the Astoragali? Soon we will ride those back to our world.”

They watched over it as the ship flew away, following a route towards the beasts. The people endlessly continued to pray towards the western sky.

White death fills the air as the giants collapse, spewing blood. The Question between the wise men of the Rubel Clan and the Allied Forces of the Clans had taken on a completely different aspect than it had at the beginning. What was happening now was not the Question, but a slaughter by the cretovastia.

Gastric bullets rained down on the ground and exploded. Each one spreading the volatile miasma that swallowed the giants, increasing the number of corpses rolling on the ground.

In the midst of this extreme confusion, a voice echoed.

“Brethren! See our words!”

“……Oh, our King!”

The five eyed False King. When he raised his voice, the warriors of the Rubel Clan suddenly regained order.

As the False King looked over the survivors, his expression hardened. His giants, that exceeded the Allied Forces of the Clans in number, had already been greatly reduced.

“Brethren, listen. That damn Oberon is moving the Beast. I don’t know if he’s gone mad, but he’s learned how to move it.”

“How could this be? If that is so then our King, the cretovastia that are attacking us are!?”

“The answer is reflected in our eyes.”

He raises his voice in anger, but that won’t improve the situation. The False King glared at the cretovastia flying through the sky, and the huge being behind them.

“Oberon, you think you can properly control the beasts, but you’re just fooling yourself. Sooner or later, the beasts will fully awaken and break free of your control. When it does…… the great enemy will awaken, and we will see the time of tribulation once again.”

“How foolish……”

As the giants let out a groan, they noticed the sunlight had suddenly disappeared and looked up. The Cretovastia that had been rampaging so loudly had moved away, and there was only one being above them.

“The Beast”

A huge frame that matched the size of a city. The elliptical disc shape of it created an overwhelming presence just by being in the sky. It’s eyes, small in comparison to its huge body, looked down on the giants in an inhuman manner.

A familiar voice reached the ears of the giants of the Rubel Clan as they looked up helplessly.

“Ah, that’s where you were, my dear King of the Rubel Clan. I was just thinking it wouldn’t do to not say a proper goodbye to you.”

“Oberon……what awakening the Beast will cause. You should already know.”

The Beast let out an eerie rumbling sound. It seems the False King’s words were well received.

“Kuhahahaha. Thank you very much for your concern. But in the end, you don’t understand anything. We will not be destroyed, only the giants will fall.”

At that moment, a strange melody overflowed from the Beast. It spread to the surroundings via the red beasts. Immediately, the sound of insect wings filled the surroundings. A pack of disgusting demon beasts that pollute the sky, surrounded the Rubel Clan.

“Well, it is time to say goodbye, my big friend. It would be nice if you died while writhing in agony.”

With the announcement, the cretovastia attacked them at once. Gastric bullets poured onto them like rain, and a white mist enveloped the ground.

“Hmm~. Mmmmmm. Wonderful, how refreshing!”(((might be a better word for this than refreshing, he’s saying his emotions have cleared up, similar to how clouds clear up)))

The place where the giants of the Rubel Clan had been was blurred by the mist, and nothing could be seen. Following Oberon’s carefree voice, the Cretovastia began to move.

“Now then, on to the main task.”

A swarm of beasts changing the color of the sky. In the face of the all-consuming death march, there is one thing that comes forward.
