161 Episode 54: Harsh Things (1/2)
The ground rocks. I managed to stop, but I was stunned. At the same time, I couldn't take my gaze off much toughness.
Is it... is it really an organism? First of all, that question passed first.
Dozens of times bigger, different ”heads” than men, among them three heads that are especially large have no sense of unity with lions, lizards or birds.
Large, thick limbs have ”growing” hands and feet of various animals as if they were feathers.
I have wings. But that's not very big enough to fly in the sky.
I have a tail. But if you look closely, it was a snake. It swings around countless times.
A distorted form that has no sense of unity and is forced to stick together. Unexpectedly my breathing is convulsive. At the end of the day, disgust comes up from the bottom of my belly at what I don't think is an organism.
”- Huh!”
Low, heavy, ugly chorus. Countless small screams that are not united echo as discord. The head of a lion, the head of a lizard, the head of a bird, roars, cries. The whole body seems to be trembling. I still insist on ugliness.
- ”Chimera.” That name came up in my brain. A monster with all sorts of animals, which was spoken of in previous life. Making it look too shocking.
”Ugh... Ugh, yeah... Huh!
I could hear Charne throwing up in the back. But I didn't break my consciousness to Charne. I just had to twist and gaze at the disgust and chills coming up from the back of my body.
”Chimera has already recognized us and turned our consciousness. What you can feel from the signs of getting tangled up in your skin is - hunger.
”Gah! Protect Charne!
I slam my magic into the engraved mark at the same time as I scream. Set aside the magic of a dragon that overflows like a wake-up call, wrapping it around a celestial.
At the same time as I moved, the countless snakes that were shaking like the tail of a ”chimera” approached me with their fangs pointing and biting.
Extend the blade of the celestial and swing it out to slash it simultaneously from the roots. The response was uncomfortable, and the serpent's torso fell countless times to the ground.
One swing, two swings, I'm swinging the celestial to intercept. That would inevitably reduce the number, but surprisingly, the snake that should have been slashed will grow and grow.
”Play...!?”
Again, the head of a snake strikes at me. Where I tried to swing a celestial to intercept - the flames blew.
The heat swells up enough to burn the skin and the forest begins to burn. At the centre of this was the alienation of the earlier flame-wrapped human form.
”- - Huh!!”
The abnormality of the flames was also roaring strongly. A shouting of emotion that makes you tremble from the core of your body. An emotional twist incomparable to what was hitting us until earlier.
There was anger there. There was grief there. There was hatred there. The appearance and screaming that only seemed so, and the flaming anomaly unleashed its overflowing fervour towards the chimera.
”Hey, I'm gonna burn every mountain!?”
No more, that wasn't the level of flames, it was supposed to be a hotline. A concentrated flame extends like a ray of light and pierces the body of the chimera.
Decide from it, thoroughly enough to burn the contact surface. If the surface is burned with fire, is it just hard to regenerate, or the smell of meat burning spreads on one side?
(Maybe there's nothing around here because these two were even fighting over territory!?)
The lack of signs of animals, including demons, from the mountains may no longer have been escaped or eaten as a result of a dispute between two demons outside this standard. That would convince me.
That's all I was thinking about, there was movement on the chimera. Chimera had been subjected to heat lines many times and her body was turning into a hole. Though small, it may be good to see that the alienation of that flame holds the power to be feared.
Then, as the chimera shuddered her body. The tail snakes, which were countless scattered, are bound together so that they can be wrapped in one. And - the wax melts and deforms the flesh. It has turned into a fourth big head snake.
The snake's head - eaten away like it chooses its own body.
”Ha-?”
I don't care what you think, it's self-inflicted. For a moment, the chimera, which decided on the burnt surface, regenerated the body as if it were rewinding.
I'm there like a chimera who was burned down until earlier and thought it wasn't surprising that he was still desperate was nothing like a nightmare. And the head of a giant snake approaches the fiery alien.
Although the flaming anomaly also spits out the hotline like crazy, the snake opens its mouth if it doesn't swallow the hotline as a whole without one.
”- I won't let you!
Even if they take in the Demon Stone, even this nasty chimera gets stronger. Because of such a sense of crisis, I deployed a magic blade to cut off the head of the snake and shook it down from the top.
The blow combined with the leap devoured lightly and cut off the snake's head. The tail that I lost my head trembles and returns to the main body of the chimera as it pulls away.
In the meantime, a new head also grows as it drifts from the wound. Seeing that sight makes me tongue out of the blue.
”What is this regenerative power...!
I tongue down as I land and get my attitude in order. Even though you're dressed to help, flaming aliens aren't meant to be allies.
But the flaming anomaly didn't strike me. Instead, I feel like my eyes and thoughtful light are staring at me jizzily.... It's a weird demon over here, too, what the hell is it?
Chimera and flame anomalies, the four heads of the chimera have stared at me and flame anomalies at the same time as they both stand vigilant. As soon as I recognized that demonic light was shaking in the lions, lizards, birds, snakes, and their four eyes - as if, a sweet feeling had eroded my whole body.
”- Huh, ha, gu...!
The sweet sensation provoked thoughts, and a severe pain ran on my back the moment I was about to lose my strength from my knees. Because the engraving of the dragon devoured the magic and forced it to increase its power. That was like resisting something.
”This...” Charming!? ”
I remember this shock. I've never felt such strong resistance before, but it was a shock like the one that once reinforced the feeling of resisting charm many times.
