* * *

Shimemagamo’s golden light.

The moment he recognized that light, the Grand Armored Yumushi felt ‘dread’.

“Yugya...”

And then he realized.

The place where he is now is an exceptional place, even in the Great Grassland of Beginnings—a wasteland.

Because he rampaged here before, and now again.

There are exposed rocks and debris, and fewer plants compared to the surrounding area.

That kind of place.

...It should have been.

“Yugyaah!?”

Before he knew it... his surroundings... no, with Shimegamamo at the center!

The whole area is completely covered in plants!

Even the debris, the dirt that he rained down earlier!

It’s all covered!

And those plants are pulsing—like ripples created by throwing a stone into the water... in reverse.

Towards Shimegamamo... constantly sending in golden light.

In other words, Shimegamamo’s golden light is the power of the grassland.

No, to be more precise.

That light is the remnants of a great being’s power, remaining in the Great Grassland of Beginnings.

And that being is—

In other words—

“Yu, yu, yu, YUGYAAAAAAH!”

Here, the Grand Armored Yumushi instinctively refused to think any further!

He has to do one thing—eliminate that small, golden creature, with all his might!

Reaching that conclusion, he started charging up his mana, his mouth glowing intensely!

That is a sign of a beam attack!

* * *

“...It’s noticed us, but are you done ‘charging’?”

Saint Ad, standing next to Shimegamamo, sensing that sign, asked that, putting a cigarette in her mouth.

Three cigarettes at once.

...No matter how you look at it, It’s clearly an overdose.

Every time she inhales the smoke, her body stores more mana, but in exchange, her physical condition visibly deteriorates.

Her face turned pale, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Her nose started bleeding.

But she did it.

Because she knows that this is the critical moment.

“...Not yet.”

She regained her balance, lowered her hips, and desperately poured her mana into the remaining barriers!

Crack!

The eighth barrier broke!

Crack!

The ninth barrier broke!

Only one left!

“AAAAAHーーー!!!”

Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak!

The last barrier groaned, and groaned, and groaned, and groaned!

It’s about to break!

At that moment!

“...Charged!!”

Shimegamamo, shining golden, shouted!

And what she swung, raising high into the sky, is!

...A super giant cleaver, made of vines, moss, and grass!

And at the same time!

“Y-Yugya, a...!?”

The Grand Armored Yumushi, letting out a pathetic voice, stopped firing its beam.

It ran out of breath.

In other words!

“We... protected it!!”

In other words, that’s what it means!

“I’ll give you one more... as a bonus!”

Saint Ad collapsed face-down on the ground, but trembling, she somehow lifted her head, and snapped her fingers.

And then, a shining path of barriers, leading straight towards the Grand Armored Yumushi, appeared before Shimegamamo’s eyes.

“Uoooooooohーーー!!!”

Shimegamamo immediately started running down the path of light, as fast as the wind blowing across the grassland!

By the time the Grand Armored Yumushi noticed...!

Shimegamamo had already jumped towards him, and...!

“【Great Grassland Cleaver】 AAAAAAHーーー!!!”

The golden, super giant cleaver, made of plants—in her hands!

Straightforward!

Towards him... she was swinging it down!

The Grand Armored Yumushi—

By that cleaver, which doesn’t even look sharp...

“YUGYAAAAAAHーーー!?”

With a death cry—

...Was cut clean in half!
