Chapter 9: Not Even a Platinum Rank Could Injure It

A turtle?

The silhouette was that of a giant turtle.

Its overall length was clearly over hundreds of meters, and it seemed to be extremely heavy too.

The tremor that it made with each step could even be felt here, a long ways off.

No no no, this isn't the time for daydreaming. Looking at the size of that thing, is that a Tarrasque?

Tarrasque were turtle-like monsters.

It was actually subspecies of dragon. The shell on its back was rumored to be made of densely packed scales.

Nevertheless, this was the first time I had seen a tarrasque of this size.

With its size and weight, human made structures stood no chance against it.

And worst of all, that tarrasque seemed to be heading to this place.

Yes, straight toward this city.

This city could be destroyed at this rate.

Should I tell them? They should've already known, that guy is literally a giant, after all

Nevertheless, there was still a one in million chance that the people in the city had yet to notice the tarrasque.

Therefore, I ran toward the city.

I had no choice but to warn them to evacuate, in the slight chance that they were still unaware of that GIANT tarrasque.

Fortunately, the tarrasque was moving really slowly. I should have more than enough time to warn the citizens.

Uhm?

A while later, I saw the shadows of several people close to the city.

It seemed they had seen me too.

Great. Now I just need to tell them.

I ran toward them while considering that matter.

Then, suddenly

There was a flash from the corner of my eye. The tip of something that resembled a rope tangled around my feet at breakneck speed.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Following that was an extremely loud sound that shook the ground like an explosion.

That shock made me fall face first on the ground.

O-Ou- Oh, wait, it doesn't hurt.

I lifted my head..

C-Could it be that I was under attack just now?

And the culprit seemed to be that red-haired woman.

In her hand, she gripped a rope-like weapon Did she attack me form so far away with a whip?

That woman was a badass.

No, no, no, this wasn't the time to be admiring her skill.

I mean, they thought I was their enemy, after all..

How Can it be? I should've sealed my magic

===A Certain Middle Aged Gold Rank Adventurer===

The famous adventurers of this city were gathered at the north gate.

Naturally, my party and I were there too, since the guild had asked for our aid.

That's the Tarrasque Lord, huh

It's so damn hugeeeeeee

Estina murmured in a surprised voice.

Because that first attack should have been enough to tear a normal human's leg apart.

However, although that white-haired undead toppled over and fell face first on the ground, he stood back up as if nothing had happened to him.

Naturally, the same went for his leg, completely unscratched.

That attack just now should've hit him, right? It had No effect at all? Tch, once again then.

Although Estina looked like she couldn't believe what she saw, she recovered within a moment and began attacking the white-haired undead again.

Now I'm going to make his head explode.

Just as she said that, the tip of her whip struck the undead's head, right on his face

And yet, the result was the same as before.

Rather than leaving a scratch, that much power was only enough to make the undead's head tilt backward a little bit.

On the other hand, the undead was running in our direction with a smile on his face.

KUH

As expected, even someone like Estina flinched away, as if she was overwhelmed by that smile.

But fortitude was expected of a platinum rank adventurer.

She recovered quickly, preparing to release her deadliest move.

Take THIS! HUNDRED WHIPS WILD DANCE!

Her ultra-long whip started to dance wildly.

It struck the undead again and again at a speed that couldn't be followed with the naked eye.

The whip moved so fast that its afterimage seemed like a blooming flower.

So this was what it looked like when a platinum rank adventurer went all out with their attack.

I expected it to, at the very least, leave a scratch on that undead.

I couldn't see the figure of the undead due to the cloud of dust from Estina's death blow, but

Are you Kidding me?!

Estina looked at the cloud of dust, eyes wide with shock.

After all the dust had settled, none of us could fathom what we saw.

How could any of us believe our own eyes when faced with the sight of the undead's right hand gripping the whip?

Did he just Catch the tip of the whip with his bare hand?

Let go, let it go, you fucking bastard!

Estina tried to pull her whip; she was clearly flustered by this situation.

Thus, the undead suddenly released the whip.

How dare you MESS WITH ME!

It seemed the undead action was getting on Estina's nerves, since her fighting spirit suddenly exploded after the undead released her whip. She channeled that tremendous amount of fighting spirit into her weapon, focusing it in the tip of her whip.

Just when I realized what she was going to do, she jumped high in the sky and then swung down her whip, aiming straight for that undead.

DESCEND DRAGON EXPLODING THUNDER STRIKEEEEE!

The tip of the whip that descended like a thunderbolt struck the undead, right on the head.

ZUDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!

Thunderous noise following right after the attack struck its target.

Once again, I lost sight of the undead due to the cloud of dust.

A sudden gust of wind cleared my vision.

NA

Only for us to see that undead survive the attack, unscathed once again.

Seeing the undead flash his eerie smile as he stood in the middle of a crater reminded everyone in this place of two words: ABSOLUTE DESPAIR.New novel chapters are published on
