Chapter 98 (2/2)

My advice for her is to stop couy who, back home, was in equal terms with Souures for a lot of our class is still a mystery to me, but it doesn't lose out to a Hero, that's for sure

After that, ent across more sewer tunnels and another sradually, the passages had become less sewer-like, and more akin to natural caves Actually, as it is now, it just looks like a cave with a channel of water running through The rough, untouched walls remind me of the not very swell time I had in the insect caves some ti out a breath “Made us walk so da tunnel ended into a huge underground space And if we go by Tendo-kun's words, we've made it to our destination, that is, the boss rooround lake” I iant underground cavity, but this one's er And in the middle of this expanse lay a circular lake, a body of water so large, it's as if the loch ness ht come out of it

I can't say if it's manmade or naturally formed, but the eerie yet somehow sublime scene made all of us hold our breath in awe

“That way Let's go” Except Tendo-kun that is He didn't look at all wary of traps as he walked iic co

“Look Momokawa,” pointed Rando-san, “there in the ic circle”

“Yeah, I think you're right”

Like she just described, sreat lake, there is a small, circular island We can't confirine that the whole thing is the platforiant frog boss roohthouse, kind of”

“It does”

A small tower stood at the center of the island That has to be part of the dungeon ruins, any way I look at it

The ht actually be inside that tower instead Then again, I' too much Transfer circles are never actually hidden, so we'll find it once we get there

Large rocks lay riddled around the perimeter of the lake, and it took us more than 5 minutes to walk around them all and reach the water

There was a path to the island An aged stone bridge, but it could handle our weight just fine So, while we had made it to the island without incident――

“There you are” just as Tendo-kun said that, I heard a crash of water and saw a pillar of it rise fro

This creature that rose frolance, but it was standing on two legs, giving off a vaguely humanoid resemblance, so maybe I should call it a lizardman?

This crocodile based lizardman had a stout body with short lis Like the jiras, it also had webbed digits and was clearly an aquatic monster Well duh, it cas freaking huge!?”

“I, I don't think we can”

“Nope, we're no match”

The reactions from Nonomiysan, Yoshi+zaki-san and Rando-san spoke volu size of the croco-lizardman boss It'ssoht

The scales covering its o blue scales shone with awould have any effect against I also doubt if Rando-san's Tera Sagittas can break through

“You guys can't help with this one, so stay out of the way I'll take this guy”

“Roger, will do!” I gratefully assented to Tendo-kun counting us out of the fight This is clearly not soht even hold hiht in the crossfire and just die

IIt could literally bitefor a good boss fight… let's see if you have what it takes, Crokey” He said while su his red bastard sword, upon which Tendo-kun practically burst toward the boss He moved incredibly fast, so fast that I couldn't even follow hiht line to the enemy

Grhaaa a a a a a ! ! !

A deep, thundering, guttural roar escaped from the croc boss' jaws as it prepared to battle its much smaller foe

“What the-!?” I let out

Another blast occurred right as Tendo-kun collided with the kaiju Did he just use that super explosive fireball at point blank range? That's suicidal No wait, e entirely?

I had to coverhot wind, and when I looked back a ht

And just as how the croco-boss had co pillar of water

“No way, Tendo-kun fell in!?”

“Oh no no, this is bad, real bad!!”

The Glamourettes were shocked I felt the sa under the freaking water? Humans can't move as well in water as they can on land, that's obvious He e sword, but it sure as hell won't let him float

“Tendo-kun!” And I orried too I kept staring at the place he should've went under――

“So you can't go full power out of water, eh?”

Tendo-kun was there, standing atop the water's surface

A this? A?

“Fine, shohat you're reallythat, he kicked off the lake surface and dove in Froe shadow under the water, no doubt it's the boss', twisting and turning its body with bizarre dexterity

“Err, okay guys, let's let Tendo-kun do that then”

He'd gone into the water of his oill, e of abilities, underwater battle just ht be viable And I' that far

I can't believe I was actually worried It's kind of ridiculous at this point

“I'reed

“Yep, I knew Tendo-kun would be fine!”

“Totally, Tendo-kun won't lose to sorown lizard!”

And the other two made excuses

At present, Tendo-kun and the croco-bossan epic underwater shon I could hear frequent boo from under the lake which caused the surface to ripple in waves

Yeah, none of ree that it's best to leave that part to Tendo-kun, and like he said, we should et in the way

And I wanted to do that I really did

But then I heard g y o o, and g y o !, and even g y o a a ! Very familiar noises So familiar as of late, that I'm sick of them

“Jiras!?”

I didn't even need to look to knohat had appeared But looking anyway, the blue fish at the far shores of the lake And they were everywhere, cli rocks, they encompassed the full circumference of the lake Their numbers were massive, far more than the army Tendo-kun blasted away earlier 200, 300, I couldn't even count

“shi+t, why no come there's still so many”

“Mo-Momokahat do we do!? This is bad, we're so fucked!”

Yes, that's right Rando-san We're fucked

It ht seem as if they appeared to help the boss, but the reason doesn't matter They've set their eyes on us now, and they're much too close for comfort Rather than despair, we need to think of apronto

“Oh God, there's even ure soTendo-kun's going to take in there He ht away or he ht to the fullest And frohed heavier on the latter

Plus, chances are that since he's underwater, he hasn't even noticed our dire situation on the surface, and I can't expect him to do so anytime soon either

Which basically means that we have to defend ourselves from waves of aret to that tower! We'll hole up in there best we can until Tendo-kun coan their descent upon us, and we ran at full tilt to the tower, our only hope of resistance
