Chapter 138 (2/2)

——————–It moved.

Aiming towards Slei and Eve’s direction, the Human-Faced moved.

It happened.

The opening that we need.

As a matter of course, I will not overlook that opening.

——–rrruummmbbbllleeee, whooossshhh——–

Almost reflexively, the Pigimaru’s dark colored tentacles launched itself.

[——Ahhh! Ahaaaahhhhhhaaa!? Hiiiiiieeeeeeeeehhhhh!]

The Human-Faced seems to have noticed our movements.

It just noticed us.

The Human-Faced abruptly stops and spat out large amounts of really fast tentacles from the faces with sewn eyes.

Just like an explosion, the Human-Faced’s tentacles spread out.

However…

It’s already too late.

We’ve grasped it—– we got through.

It’s finally within my range.

[——–

———-]

——-crraaaccckllleee, ccrrraaacckkk———

[Muuu…….muumuuu… muuuugggggiiiieehh…. iiiiieeeeh….]

Plunk!

A drop of sweat ran down to my chin.

And I exhaled.

The breathing that I’ve been holding in finally comes back.

[It seems we barely… made it through… somehow…]

It appears that they’ve carried it out just as we planned.

□

There is one important point in this attack.

The key factor to subjugating it would be “a certain nature” of the Human-Faced.

Immediately after releasing her second arrow, Seras realized that sense of discomfort that she felt.

That’s also when I found out.

The first arrow was knocked down to the ground from the front.

And then, the second arrow was knocked down while it’s shot from just outside its range.

“Slurrrppp—- Splash!”

At that time, the Human-Faced moved.

After moving, it spat out its tentacles to attack us.

That’s right…

–that’s while it’s not moving.

–only after it moved.

The point is that the Human-Faced can’t spat out its tentacles and attack us “only until after it moved”.

That is to say, an opening would be created only while it’s “moving”.

That was that thing’s opening that we will take advantage of.

And even if I increase the speed of Pigimaru’s tentacles by weaving them into one, if it weren’t for the opening in that moment, it would be impossible to catch him within the range of my

.

Therefore, we first have to make it move from its place.

In other words, it was necessary to make it “attack after moving”.

However, that thing didn’t respond when we tried luring it into moving with the third arrow.

It had judged that arrow as fake.

As a result, I had to rely on Slei and Eve as they take the role of a decoy.

However…

▽

[With Slei and Eve still safe, I was able to paralyze it…]

One after another, we began going down the staircase.

[This time… if someone asked me if I could have done this alone, it would be quite difficult.]

As I walked in front of the Human-Faced, I looked closely at its face that had turned pale and I could see anguish from its face.

Though it had turned pale, it still had that smile on its face.

Geez.

I can’t even get a laugh out of it.

I held out my hand.

[<Berserk>]

Paralysis and Berserk.

In terms of its properties, this could also be a certain kill combination.

[Muuu, muuuuoooooo——-]

Guuuuuuuuusssssshhhhhhhhhh——!

Just like an enormous geyser, blue blood grandly spouted out towards the sky.

[There’s just one spouting out, so I naturally can’t call this something perfect but… Anyway, this is—-]

With the blue rain behind my back, I turned around towards Seras, Eve and Slei.

And then, I spoke.

[The Golden Demon Zone’s Human-Faced, subjugation complete.]
