Chapter 68: (3)

In no time at all, Cassius tentacle swallowed Kaltovich up. It then strangely swelled up like a snake that was swallowing its prey whole. The tentacle slowly wriggled as if it was chewing. At this scene that was producing the sole noise on the battlefield, which had turned quiet, everyone felt an unpleasant feeling that made their hair stand on end.

As expected, Id like to refrain myself from having such an end.

With a trembling voice, Mikoto murmured as such.

She had been traveling in this other world for more than two years. During those times, shed experienced various trials, in order to attain power befitting those of a hero she currently possessed. Such her froze due to fear, which she had long forgotten.

Get a grip, or so Id like to say, but as expected that that is real bad news.

Before they knew it, Merlin had already moved next to Mikoto. Even he, who normally possessed composure to display somewhat idiotic airs at any moment, was displaying tense expression at the moment. That showed how grave the current situation was.

Hey, Kugel.

Curryman, who had also moved next to the three brothers, called out to Kugel. He turned his gaze toward Kugels little brothers. Perhaps managing to perceive his thoughts with only that, Kugel gave instructions to his little brothers.

Madpie, Orangetto. Lead the others and depart this place right away.

What are you talking about, big bro? Im going to fight too.

Hes right. Turning our back and running away from such a dangerous monster is.

Despite their tough front, the twos voices were trembling faintly.

Well hold down that thing. So you guys quickly go.

Without letting his guard down, Curryman said as he kept observing fixedly on the monster.

O little brothers of mine. Dont ever forget the karma we are shouldering. As long as you are still alive, you must save as many lives as possible.

That seemed as though a will. Still staring fixedly at the monster, Kugel continued his words.

The current you should be able to fight against the monsters in the mountain ranges. Be sure to protect everyone with all your strength. That is your duty.

Big bro.

And then, what about the party of hero-sama over there?

Curryman turned to call out to Kamui and Tetsujin, but what he received in return was silence. It didnt seem like he didnt hear him, but Kamui was simply glaring fixedly at the monster without moving.

Theres no other way to fight against that monster but to cooperate.

Tetsujin answered in his stead. Were those words said toward Curryman? Or were they persuasion toward Kamui?

Were going to avenge Kalt. As long as you dont get in our way, we wont do anything to you either.

Im fine with that.

It might have been only a makeshift, but all of them decided to take a cooperative stance.

There were still a considerable number of kingdom soldiers, but they were as good as nonexistent. The majority of them either were injured or losing their fighting spirit, and the fight was expected to be at a level where they would not even be able to contribute anything in the first place.

And then, Cassius seemed to have finished his preparation as well. An eerie something appeared behind him. The monster which looked like a mixture of various monsters, with its huge wings flapping landed next to Cassius.

A chimera, huh.

Toward the great sages murmur, Cassius replied in a smile.

It seems to have eaten up all the prey down there. So lets have it enjoy the preys that are here next.

The tentacles that were wriggling on the gigantic creatures body stretched out creepily and grabbed Cassius body.

I am The one who devours everything All Biter. The new God

Cassius was carried toward the head area of the monster, before then fusing with what appeared to be a female body attached there.

Now then, entertain me with everything youve got

The heroes and the others braced themselves at once. Thus began the do-or-die resistance of those who were betting their survival there.
