“Chapter 295: Intervention”

– I did it!

It was a complete gamble whether I would succeed or not, but I’m glad I did it.

Countless tons of water started to drown the temple. The dark jerks were about to be in their element again.

It was time to run.

– How much time was that?

I ran closer to the pillar of light, but he doesn’t seem to be ready yet.

– Ralph!

– Takaya!?

– I’m sorry. That was reckless. But I knocked one out.

– Are you trying to look cooler than me? I won’t have that.

The pillar of light converged in Ralph’s sword.

– 90%. Takaya, you gotta run.

– Got it. Be safe.

Ralph jumped in a straight line towards the whale. All eyes were on him.

– Moruru! Come back!

– Phaawh, I need more air.

– Good job there.

– Thank you. That annoying hag wouldn’t have let me hear the end of it if I died here.

She seems to have a lot of strength left. Though I’m worried about Kouya’s warehouse. How many weapons did she use?

Also, Moruru has become much more foul-mouthed.

– What kind of monster is that guy? I can barely look in the direction of his light.

– Do you think you could survive one of his attacks?

– I don’t think anyone in the demon world would be able to.

And yet Ralph’s objective is not to kill the whale, but to frighten it.

Goes to show how absurdly strong the beasts from the border are.

– You should look away. He’s about to release it. (Moruru)

The moment I closed my eyes, a roar different from the previous ones came out of the whale.

The temple was collapsing. We were getting carried away by the water.

– Master, hold tight!

Moruru started ascending with me in arms.

There’s no sign of the dark jerks. They must’ve been scared of Ralph’s attack.

But where is Ralph?

【―――――、】

When I looked down, I saw the whale’s head split in half. Torrents of blood were pouring out.

I can’t say for sure how much damage it caused, but it was enough for it to completely stop moving.

Ralph came out of the cloud of blood and swam towards us.

(Good job)

– *Glug glug*

Ralph’s face was painted with fatigue.

Potions can only do so much, but I think it will be enough to-

【Aha!】

(What? Whose voice was that?)

A girl’s voice echoed out of nowhere.

A ray of blinding light appeared between Ralph and me.

Which led to an unexpected turn of events.

【AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaa!!!!!】

Ralph’s hand, which had been holding the potion just a moment ago, was now completely disintegrated by the light.

A summoning circle regenerated the entirety of the isle whale as if nothing had happened to it.
