「Ahh…… Hey, everybody? Are you continue to alive by any likelihood?」

「That sounded awfully like one thing {that a} trainer in school would say. You already know, that well-known line: Who’s absent, increase your hand within the air!」

Akitsu Akane, was that remark simply now actually obligatory……? Or you understand what? Doesn’t matter. It doesn’t actually matter, it’s not essential proper now.

The Atlantic Reamerorca, in any other case often known as the Sea Emperor, didn’t obtain such a reputation only for present. That laser assault and electrical discharge had been each so highly effective that the entire of Coliseum was lowered to rubble, and I might not be shocked if the entire construction proper now was on the verge of collapsing. Clearly, if we had been hit by these assaults, it could have been the top for us all.

Whether or not they all may hear me or not, we weren’t within the clear simply but. We nonetheless needed to run away and keep away from the incoming assaults…… Till the Reaperorca was sucked into Kutanid black gap, that’s. That final discharge should have been its parting present for us all.

「Alright, whoever is just not useless, communicate up…… How about you, Emul? You useless there, buddy?」

「I really feel like I’m useless……」

「Nah, you look fantastic to me.」

I really feel like I’m about to kick the bucket myself, however so long as I’ve HP left I will probably be fantastic. However I additionally seen that my eyelids felt actually heavy proper now for some motive, and my actions had been actually sluggish, as in the event that they had been in sluggish movement. I may additionally really feel a slight pulsating sensation in my head.

「Appears to be like like my caffeine provide is working out……」

「Caffe……?」

「By no means thoughts that. No want to fret about it.」

It stated on the can of Riot Blood Revolving Lantern that it was meant for “short-term decisive battles” solely. And because it took me means too lengthy to get right here and determine what the gimmicks had been all about, its results had been already beginning to put on off. I do know that I gained’t go to sleep in the midst of the combat, however I certain hope that this persistent dullness in my legs gained’t have an effect on my battle efficiency.

「…… Mildew and I are secure!」

「Yeah, in some way.」

「Nereis and I are in a single piece as nicely!」

「Alva, are you alright?」

I feel that Rei goes to be fantastic as nicely, however what concerning the silly sh*thead? I hope that he didn’t drop useless on the spot and died on us.

I used to be on the lookout for Straude all over, and after I was about sixty % prepared to surrender and lose hope, I noticed it. Among the stone rubble began to be pushed to the edges, and Rei emerged from below it, holding Straude below one arm. She should have jumped in direction of him, understanding that he’s the important thing NPC right here and shield him…… So we’re nonetheless within the clear, it appears. And since Akitsu Akane and Sickle had been proper beside us, it was straightforward to substantiate that they had been alive and kicking for now. In any case, it appears that evidently in some way the entire gang managed to keep away from being killed.

「Now I need some fricking soy sauce…… Alright, everybody, hear up! I do know it could sound merciless, but when we aren’t useless and we are able to rise up, that’s what we should do. No dilly-dallying.」

And picture that, the colours are actually all again to regular, too. Emul, who slipped from my head on my nape, climbed again on high of my head, and I may really feel his shaking throughout my head. Nevertheless it was a heat and fluffy feeling.

「…… Pay attention up, you silly sh*thead. Any more you’re only a useless weight. So haul ass the fuck away from right here as quick as attainable, acquired it?」

「I, I……」

「As unlucky as that will sound, nobody right here can sail a ship aside from you. Within the meantime whereas we’re combating right here, discover us a ship, irrespective of how small, and safe an escape route from right here as soon as that is throughout.」

Each Rust and I have interaction in some small role-play, all in order that Straude would depart this place and go some place else, the place he wouldn’t die due to some silly motive. It’s solely a typical sense for players to eliminate any nuisance that may act in an unpredictable means and focus aggro on themselves for no matter motive. I don’t know the way nicely he obtained these phrases, however for now all of us run from the nook of the Coliseum whereas the silly sh*thead was simply sitting there with tears welling up in his eyes.

「Now then, Rei…… How about you do the identical factor you probably did earlier than?」

「Umm, sure…… The identical process must be performed right here, however…… It may be performed no downside.」

「Proper, let’s all hold doing our greatest and check out to not get ourselves killed. Maintain your cool and all the things must be fantastic……」

「Affirmative.」

The void wherein the monsters had been being sucked into adjustments right into a jet-black gap proper in entrance of our eyes. It’s depth…… Sadly, there isn’t a means for us to substantiate how deep it’s. Nevertheless, simply then, from the sting of that gap…… there was a hand that was all of a sudden rising.

「Kutanid of the Abyss……」

The determine that emerged from the deep pool gave the impression to be the literal incarnation of that very identify.

Broadly talking, it appeared nearly like a human being would. However its complete physique was lined in crimson and black magical indicators and patterns, which appeared to resemble its muscle tissue, veins and pores and skin. Its physique was additionally gigantic in measurement, and there was nonetheless a fishy odor to it, most likely as a result of it was not all that lengthy because it managed to create this shell for itself utilizing the flesh of sea monsters. However there was additionally another scent lingering on its physique: that of blood and dying.

Additionally, there was an enormous octopus sitting on the place the place human head and torso must be, which was giving it the hanging resemblance to the creature often known as “Cthulhu”, an enemy design that was pretty widespread in video video games these days. However that was clearly not Cthulhu. And another factor.

「HUMANS, THE FIRST OF MANY MIRACLES THAT WAS SPREAD AROUND AND GREW UP. HUMANS, CREATE THE MIRACLE AND MOVE FORWARD, ILLUMINATING THE DARKNESS WITH YOUR LIGHT.」

「WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? WHAT WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DO? SHOW US, SHOW US, SHOW US, SHOW US.」

「SEEDS SAWN FROM THE HEAVENS, HAVE THEY FINALLY GROWN ROOTS?」

「I AM THE ONE WHO REACHES THE HEAVENS. I AM THE ONE WHO SEES THE WORLD FROM THE DEPTHS. I AM The ONE WHO KNOWS THE WARM AFTERGLOW OF THE GREAT TRAJECTORY.」

「SHOW ME, THE VALUE OF LIFE. SHOW ME IF HER WISH WAS FINALLY GRANTED?」

All of us hear a voice echo all through the sector, a voice that clearly didn’t belong to any dwelling creature. This voice ought to have belonged to Kutanid, nevertheless it sounded as if a number of individuals had been speaking unexpectedly.

Typically talking, what ought to have emerged from Kutanid’s again ought to have been a pair of black, demon-like wings. However in Kutanid’s case, the factor that was erected from its again was an enormous circle, like an angelic halo. And on that circle, eight jewels had been shining brightly, like fruits hanging down from a tree.

「Shut your mouth! I don’t know something concerning the lore right here, so simply shut the fuck up and provides me the World Fact Tome already! Ideally with out resisting an excessive amount of! You Octopus bastard…… Alright, everybody! That is probably going to be the ultimate battle, so present me some combating spirit right here!」

「STRUGGLE IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE. AND IF THAT’S SO…… THEN SHOW ME HOW YOU STRUGGLE!!! PROVE YOURSELVES!!!」

The ultimate type of Kutanid, the one in form of an enormous octopus. Our group of courageous warriors, “Mortals”. The curtain has lastly risen on the ultimate battle!
