Chapter 309: "Emi's Underling, the Great Sea Serpent" Zaratopu “Emi’s Underling, the Great Sea Serpent” Zaratopu

* * *

Zaratopu’s consciousness was hazy as it drifted weakly on the sea surface.

Emperor Emperor’s giant tentacle crept up silently from under the sea and in an instant, it coiled around Zaratopu’s tail, swung it around, and slammed it into the sea surface.

Because of that, its whole body is in pain.

As it was swung around without restraint, its vision is still spinning, making it feel sick.

“IKAAAAAAA!!”

The giant squid that should be nearby.

Its stupid-sounding angry voice.

In reality, it should be at a volume that’s annoyingly loud, but it sounds vaguely faint as if echoing from somewhere far away.

(It hurts...... it hurts......)

The pain is unbearable.

Zaratopu, who hates conflict and is a coward.

However, except for the giant squid and giant shrimp in front of it, there aren’t many creatures larger than it.

Moreover, such giant creatures usually have their own territories.

If Zaratopu doesn’t approach them and upset them, it won’t be attacked.

Therefore, it had been a long time since it felt this kind of pain.

Because after escaping from the group, Zaratopu had been targeting and eating only small fish with low risk.

It couldn’t possibly do any hunting that risked getting injured.

Of course, even when it was in the group, it had that tendency.

That’s why its body was smaller than any other Great Sea Serpent in the group.

(I want to run away......)

Zaratopu thought.

(I want to run away now......)

It thought so, as usual.

Whenever it was in trouble, it always ran away.

Until now, it had managed to get by like that.

This time too, it should have run away.

(Then why didn’t I run......)

It was because that small Anego was there.

If it was that person, maybe they could do something about these demons in its place. for new novels

It thought so.

(It’s too late to regret now, but......)

While absentmindedly gazing at the giant squid’s tentacle being swung down.

(I wonder if I’m going to die like this......)

Zaratopu thought so, as if it were someone else’s business.

“Zaratopu, watch out!!”

However, while its consciousness was hazy and it was about to accept death, there was a voice that instantly awakened Zaratopu’s consciousness.

Of course, it was the voice of his small Anego!

It unintentionally widened its eyes and turned to the direction of the voice.

Then, at that moment, his small Anego...... had just thrown something this way while clinging onto the giant shrimp’s head.

HYUGOOOO...... OOOOOHN!!!

That something flying at an eye-blurring speed deflected the giant squid’s tentacle that was swung down like a blade to take Zaratopu’s life, shifting its trajectory!

“Ikaaaaa!?”

The giant squid let out a surprised voice at its tremendous power!

(Amazing...... as expected, Anego is amazing!!)

Zaratopu’s heart made a loud sound with emotion and excitement!

It was the moment when its admiration for his small Anego reached the level of infatuation.

However, the desperate scene reflected in its shining eyes.

“Shushushuuuu!!!”

“Oh no......!?”

Because it saved Zaratopu.

It was the figure of his small Anego, who was caught by the barnacles’ cirri taking advantage of that opening and became unable to move!

But.

(Now.)

Courage burns in Zaratopu’s heart!

(Now is the time to fight!!)

Using that courage as fuel, its body keeps moving forward, forward!

Zaratopu quickly approaches the giant shrimp, and now it’s at a distance where it can even read the expression of its small Anego, Emi.

It’s the usual expressionless face.

Despite being restrained all over its body, it’s a composed, expressionless face!

(As expected!)

Confirming its safety and feeling happy, Zaratopu further increases its speed!

<<<Anegooo!!!>>>

While desperately sending a 【Telepathy】, it took seawater into its mouth.

<<<【Water Cannon】!!!>>>

And it spits it out towards the giant shrimp with tremendous force!

DOPAN!

DOPAAHN!

Those water bullets don’t damage the steel-like carapace of the giant shrimp.

However, the barnacles clinging to its surface are a different story!

“Shushushuuu!?”

Unable to move, they are crushed by Zaratopu’s well-aimed 【Water Cannon】.

The cirri are torn off.

Emi’s restraint is released!

“Zaratopu!”

Emi doesn’t miss that opportunity.

Shouting a word, she kicks off the giant shrimp’s carapace and bounces back to Zaratopu’s head.

<<<Anego! Are you okay!?>>>

“Of course. Sorry for the trouble.”

Zaratopu makes a sharp turn and takes distance from the giant shrimp for now.

The pursuit, the downswing of the claws.

The giant tentacles that suddenly appear from under the sea.

Zaratopu smoothly dodges all of them and advances!

“Zaratopu...... to be honest, I only considered your role this time to be about the level of an assistant on the sea.”

While saying that, Emi squats down, strokes Zaratopu’s large scale on its head, and says.

“But you...... will fight, with me!”

<<<Of course!>>>

Zaratopu roared with rough breathing and puffed out its chest!

<<<Because I’m Anego’s underling!!>>>

“......Thank you.”

Muttering that word, Emi stood up.

“EBIIII!!”

“IKAAA!!”

Blocking Emi and Zaratopu’s path are the super giant shrimp and squid.

They are intimidating us by raising their claws and tentacles.

But Zaratopu wasn’t scared at all of these two, who were much larger than itself.

The opponents are a giant shrimp and a giant squid.

On this side, it’s Emi and Zaratopu.

In terms of numbers, it’s the same.

There’s no disadvantage!

“Now...... let’s go, Zaratopu!!”

<<<Yes!!>>>

With Emi’s shout, Zaratopu started charging towards the enemy again!

“It’s time for...... lunch prep!!”
