Chapter 256 Resuming Combat Part 1️⃣
Good grief. Maya-chan is doing some awkward shadowboxing moves.
I know for sure that since I was kidnapped, and the people here were taken too, plus over 6 people have been harmed, this isn't going to settle down easily.
Centrena, Alesion, and Wilshion also get up.
In response, the red running dragons stand up as well.
"Oh? Looks like Alesion and the others are motivated."
"Seriously, I wonder who they take after, mother (Privia)."
"Who knows?"
"Maybe the one who raised them? Oh mother (Privia)."
I call out to Wilshion, who is next to Maya-chan.
"Anyway, Wilshion."
'Guu?'
"Maybe you're saying 'What?' I mean, if something happens to Maya-chan, come to me."
'Guuu.'
"I think that was 'Understood.'"
"Wow. Even if you don't understand Wilshion-tan's words, you can still have a conversation, brother."
"How should I put it? It's like gestures or the tone of voice. Right, Centrena?"
'Kuu.'
"With that voice, it feels like 'That's right.' Probably."
"Oh, Danjeon-tan is back."
I had Jag-san and the others deliver Her Royal Highness Mariajane, who had finished her treatment, down below.
"How good are your eyes?"
"White and brown stand out."
After a while, Jag-san returns.
"Master, I've delivered them. Her Royal Highness was reluctant, but I forced her to stay."
"What are you doing? But thanks. So, this will be the rear support base. If anyone gets injured, I'll have them come back here, so please take care of that."
"Yes, Master."
It's me with Centrena, Wilshion with Maya-chan, and mother with Alesion.
Berberiguru-san and Dorchuneta-san said running would be faster for them.
As expected of the ninja Cat-people men.
Everyone continues to finish boarding the back of the running dragon.
Mother raised her right arm and turned to look at us.
"Alright, this nightmare is over. Let's all work together to get rid of those pesky bugs!"
'Oh!'
'Guuu'
"Wow, even Alesion. And Mother (Privia), the way you say it, well, whatever."
"They're just bugs, brother. Those little things are like fruit flies."
"Even Maya-chan? Who was it that got taken down by those little flies again?"
"Sometimes, you can't win against sheer numbers. It was the same in the game, right? Yeah, yeah. But Maya has Wilshion-tan with her. Right?"
'Guuu'
For now, I cast 'Mana Recover' on everyone.
Of course, on Centrena and all the red running dragons too.
"Alright, let's go."
'Oh!'
"Alesion."
'Guuu!'
At Mother's words, white mana-like energy starts to overflow from Alesion's mouth. In an instant,
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
It would be better to describe it as an incredible explosion sound.
At the same time, buildings are destroyed, and the Celestial Race comes pouring out, about 50 of them.
"Maya, here I go!"
'Guuu!'
Wilshion is smaller compared to Centrena and Alesion.
Its back can hold 3, but with 2, it's already full.
However, he's incredibly fast.
Whether running or flying, he's light, so it must be really fast.
He shot off like a cannonball.
Now, I could hear Maya-chan's voice ahead.
"'Air Cannon' 'Air Cannon' 'Air Cannon' 'Air Cannon' 'Air Cannon'──."
Amazing, she's wiping out the Celestial Race that came out.
The splattering blood in the distance is, to put it mildly, gruesome.
The other red running dragons are also spitting out small flames like fireballs in response.
This time, since there's no need to leave any buildings standing, it's okay to burn them down.
At Maya-chan's location, Mother jumped down too.
Ah, a superhero landing pose against the ground.
I wonder if that's efficient? But it looks really cool.
They say she has a light attribute, but honestly, she seems more like a berserker than a hero...
I mean, for her to boldly jump in like that, my mother is, to put it mildly, a bit crazy.
She called the Celestial Race "bugs," so maybe she sees them not as enemies but as pests to be exterminated.
I also had Centrena land a bit away from me.
"Ah, ahhhhh..."
Instinctively feeling fear, my mother chased after the fleeing Celestial Race, swiping at them with one hand.
It's terrifying that she isn't covered in blood.
Just when someone thought they had escaped, Maya-chan blew them away.
Alesion crashed in from the outside.
It looked like a local hellscape of screams and chaos. Wow.
Eventually, this high ground will be taken over and become Dragonkin territory.
So, someone needs to clean up.
That someone has to be me, since I don't have any combat power.
This cleanup had long surpassed the level of being gross or dirty; it had turned into a task game.
"Ah, it's such a mess. It looks like someone spilled red ink on white snow..."
Maya-chan and Mother were both having a blast in their unstoppable state.
Similarly, Alverate-san, the Head of Security, was joyfully smashing away.
There was no need to hold back.
The corpses of the Celestial Race were left behind in heaps.
My job was simply to store them away.
That's my mission.
Fortunately, there were plenty of barrels for storing grain in this country, so I took some.
"Just poke the bodies with my foot. There, 'store.' Now, bring out the barrel."
I held my hand over the barrel,
"'Moarel Secondream.' What a strange name. Does that mean there might be a 'Fastdream' and a 'Thirdream' too? Maybe, just maybe."
Anyway, I say the name of the stored Celestial Race and pack it into the barrel. Whoa, that's gross... I'll just close the lid without looking inside the barrel...
"Barrel stored, done. Next, next."
Even if I step in blood splatter, I can still 'store' it, so I can be pretty casual and still get the work done.
Ah, Maya-chan and the others look like they're having fun.
I'd join them with a shield and a club, but I guess that's impossible since I'd get killed instantly.
Alright, alright, let's get back to work.
'Kuu?'
"What? Centrena."
'Kuu.'
"What, what? Are you asking if you can join in since you're feeling stressed?"
'Kuu.'
