“Chapter 292: Defensive Battle 2”

– Why is it below us!?

We knew the isle whale was coming, but I never imagined it was this close. If anything, Ralph or Diine should’ve been able to sense it.

Did it use some sort of magic to teleport here? Can whales even use magic?

Someone is behind this. Someone relocated the isle whale in order to take us out.

The barrier had been broken by the appearance of the huge beast.

No words can describe how big it is. Whales from my world look like ants in comparison.

What kind of magician would be able to tame something this big?

【UUuuuUuUAaAAaaaaAAAAAA】

The attacks from the dark jerks have ramped up to the point where Ralph is barely able to stand his ground.

【Aaaa】

From between the whale’s teeth came out several black threads heading towards Ralph. Probably a sort of parasites, similar to the zombie dragon’s mosquitos.

– ….!?

A cold chill ran down my spine.

The whale’s yellow eyeballs were not set on the temple, but on me.

Its jaws slowly opened.

– Get! Out OF MY WAY!

Several rays of golden light pierced through the sphere of magical beasts that had formed around Ralph. A dense cloud of blood formed in his vicinity.

– Takaya, potions!

I threw my best potion to Ralph, who was breathing heavily with his body full of wounds.

He seems to be good to keep going for now.

– I’m gonna kill that b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲.

Ralph muttered as he downed the potion while staring at the whale.

I could tell he was angry, but he remained serene.

– Do you think you can beat it?

– Uhhh… I know I just said I’ll kill it, but I’m not actually sure. Still, it’s not exactly an option. I have to do it.

If we don’t fix this situation, we’ll end up in the whale’s belly.

– Well, if I try really really hard I might be able to scare it away.

– How much time do you need?

– I have to focus way too much magic power on my sword. 10… No, give me 5 minutes. That’s all I need.

What am I even supposed to do? I’m supposed to fend off beasts that even Ralph had trouble with.

And where the hell is Diine? Can she not see what’s happening?

Did she run into trouble too?

– I’m sorry to intrude! Do you happen to need help?

The voice of a girl interrupted my exasperation.

– Master, could you open your pouch?

– Moruru!?

The origin of the voice was the peach-haired succubus, who came out of my pouch.

– I was told to come here through the warehouse… Do you want me to go back?

– Of course not, you idiot! (Ralph)

– Oww!

Come to think of it, her magic is different from the usual teleportation. She can connect one place to another.

Maybe we still have a chance.
