Chapter 50 50 – Giant Monster Battle

“You said that titan mandrake would be easy to handle, right?” I asked the goddess of nature while massaging my forehead.

Frei Grimaced. “Sorry, I thought your servant level would be much higher than this.”

“Elise still needs time.” I sighed. “She has only carried out two missions. You almost screwed this plan for failing to reveal the true power of the titan mandrake.”

“Well, but all those plans came from your idea.” Frei sneered.

I snorted, annoyed with the goddess, but chose to restrain myself. It would be even more annoying if there was a fight.

“Ah, what a shame, even though this is almost reaching its climax.” Erbau, the god of buildings, flashed a smile. “But, I have to go now.”

“Bye, Erbau,” Frei answered without looking at that god.

I raised my eyebrows as the god waved his hand. “Where are you going, Erbau? In a moment, the exciting battle will begin.”.

“Yes, it’s a pity.” Erbau shrugged and spread his arms slightly while walking backward. “But, Levi and Edna visited my place. I can’t let the two big bosses wait any longer than this.

“Ah, I see. Too bad then.” Well, I have no particular reason to keep him here, anyway. I was just making small talk.

“Well, it’s been a pleasure doing this with you, Raymund. I might ask you a favor sometime.”

“Huh?”

I didn’t have time to ask as the god of buildings disappeared into the fog. His last words were stuck in my head. Asking for help? Does that mean other gods can give me quests?

“Sir Raymund, the dragon has arrived,” Anja told me.

With tense faces, Elise and Gina watched the two giant monsters move closer to each other. Meanwhile, Checo was still face down in front of the mage.

“Soon.” Gina held her breath.

A dazzling flash of light startled them, followed by a lightning bolt striking the dragon’s left-wing. The monster shrieked hard and fell from its flight, tumbling to the ground. The titan mandrake wasted no time and immediately punched the dragon’s head when that beast was just getting up.

“Sorry, my lightning didn’t hit the target. I was aiming for the dragon’s body.” Raymund informed.

Elise did not reply and remained focused on watching the massive battle that caused loud bangs.

“What the…!?” Gina widened her eyes as someone jumped off the dragon’s back. “How can he live after his dragon rolls around like that!?”

Yes, it was Jorge who jumped. The dragon tamer raised a giant ax that emitted white light.

Jorge slashed the body of the titan mandrake from the shoulder to the stomach. The plant monster lost its balance and fell backward with a slash wound on its body.

“As expected, Jorge is no ordinary person.” Checo finally got up and sat on the griffin’s back. He briefly down at Gina’s lower body but chose not to comment. “That dragon tamer name is not something made up.”

“He literally controls a dragon, Checo.” Gina slapped her forehead.

The dragon sprayed flames at the titan mandrake. Instead of squirming in the heat, the plant monster dashed forward with a burning body. It tackled his foe until both of them were rolling in the fields. The plants also began to burn because of the fire from the body of the titan mandrake.

“Ah, the plants have started to change.” Gina hissed. The influence of the titan mandrake has indeed spread to those plants. The purple color began to expand.

The battle between the two giant monsters was still ongoing. The two staggered to their feet, though their bodies weren’t burning anymore. Jorge, who jumped high from the ground, slashed the titan mandrake’s knee with his giant axe. The plant monster knelt down and got another burst of fire from the dragon.

“Oh, come on!” Gina grumbled. “Everything we are doing will be in vain if that titan mandrake dies!”

This time the dragon sprayed its enemy with fire non-stop. The titan mandrake couldn’t wake up because of that.

Elise and her companions could see Jorge laughing among the purple plants. Gina covered her face with her hands, Checo closed his eyes with a sigh, and Elise wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. The female warrior felt that she had fought hard with her two comrades. Of course, she wants all of this to be successful.

“Is there anything you can do, sir? Or is there anything I can do to help the titan mandrake?” Elise continued to stare at the plant monster’s body that continued to burn.

“Frei said everything will be fine,” Raymund replied in a relaxed tone.

Suddenly the plants around Jorge twitched. The dragon tamer looked around and prepared to use his axe. The plants then intertwine with each other and form humanoid figures. Jorge immediately tried to cut through the figures, but in no time, he was overwhelmed. The figures managed to surround him.

Elise could see the dragon tamer’s hand sinking into the crowd of purple monsters.

Seeing its master in danger, the dragon stopped its flames and tried to help Jorge by driving off the monsters with its front paws. However, that beast is unable to find that man.

And there was a big crackling sound. The titan mandrake rose with a completely burned body, and chunks of its body fell. With a limp, that monster ran to the dragon again.

Unprepared, the dragon couldn’t do anything when its body was lifted by the plant monster. The titan mandrake then threw the enemy as far as possible. The dragon soared high enough before finally landing with a thunderous thud, shaking the ground and sending chunks of soil into the air.

The titan mandrake wasn’t done with that. That plant monster ran again towards its enemy, jumped up with its body still burning, and then crashed from above onto the dragon.

This time, the loud thud was accommodated by bones cracking sound and the dragon’s shriek.

“Holy shit!!!” Raymund shouted in a high-pitched voice like a girl. That scene was so surreal and totally unexpected.

The plant monster chose to lie on top of the dragon. That causes the fire in its body to spread to its enemy.

Elise felt a drop of water hit her face. She looked up at the sky filled with thick clouds. In just a short time, the water droplets fell more and more.
