Chapter 368
Credits to: Philip, raikou837
I left Shuri and Shia to Fina, who knows the situation, so I exit the room together with Swaying Bear . Then, I closed the door of the bear gate tightly . If I don’t open the door, the three can’t come here . At the same time, the safety of three people is guaranteed .
I told Fina to leave the room through a hidden door if I don’t return for too long . When I don’t come back, then it’s really an emergency .
But since I really can’t deal with what would happen after that, I have to let them out of the bear gate before they escape on their own .
When I left the bear house with Swaying Bear, I don’t want it to be destroyed, so I put away the bear house . The bear house for traveling is only a minimal necessity, but it is an important house . So I don’t want it to be destroyed .
Well then, what should I do now?
First, I used my detection skills to understand the situation . The number of volcrows has decreased considerably . Instead, the number of wyverns is increasing . After all, I wonder if they were being called by the sakura tree just like the volcrows .
Looking up at the sky towards the cherry blossom trees, I can clearly see the Wyverns circling the sky even from here .
A wyvern is a type of dragon . I’ve never seen a real dragon so far, but in games, it’s one of the smaller dragons . The strength is also rather weak among dragons . That said, I don’t think ordinary people can easily fight and win against it . Volcrows aside, It’s a kind of monster that shouldn’t be closer to the town of Mereera .
There were Wyverns that I defeated back from the 10,000 monsters incident, but at that time I was only able to defeat them because they were sleeping on the ground . I don’t know their actual strength because I have never actually fought it before . It’s moving this time and if I do fight it, it will be my first battle against it .
And the more troublesome thing is that the Wyvern is not alone . There are already three Wyverns inside the detection skill range . If I want to fight a monster that I have never fought before, one-on-one is preferable, but the opponent doesn’t care about such things .
The question now is how will Targui deal with the Wyverns .
If possible, it would be best for Targui to defeat the Wyverns . So far no major changes have occurred .
It’s a mystery whether it will take them in with soap bubbles and suck their magical power just like Volcrows or leave them alone . In the first place, there is also the problem of whether it can be captured with soap bubbles in the first place .
If Targui can’t deal with the Wyverns, I have no choice but to subdue it on my own . Even though the town of Mereera is far away, the Wyverns will eventually come to the town as soon as they fly away .
And the problem isn’t just with Wyverns . There’s the existence of Krakens along the coast .
Anyway, what’s happening in the sea around here to have three Krakens? If you add in the Kraken that I defeated long ago, there would be four of them . I want to know if there’s also a Kraken’s nest around here .
I think about what I should do next .
Option 1, defeat all monsters .
Option 2, act after observing the reaction of Targui .
Option 3, run away .
Option 4, cut down the sakura tree that caused it .
Option 1, is also the best for Mereera . It will be a problem if I let them go and they eventually come to Mereera .
Option 2, Kryna-Hark wrote that Targui will subdue the monsters . The question is how many monsters can be defeated by it . It is possible that only small monsters appeared when Kryna-Hark was on this island . I don’t know how much it can deal with a large number of monsters .
Option 3, is good for me personally, but considering Mereera, I can’t leave it as it is .
And last but not the least, it’s the best way to get rid of the monsters from the island . However, there is no choice but to reject it for different reasons .
First of all, there is the question of whether or not a magical giant tree of that size can be cut down . In addition, there is a possibility that Targui will recognize me as the enemy by launching an attack on it . If that happens, not only Wyverns and Krakens but also the Targui may become an enemy . If the angry Targui landed in the town of Mereera, then we’re better off with wyverns .
And if the Targui became hostile to me, my plan to put a bear gate will disappear . Moreover, it is morally impossible for a Japanese person to cut down that sakura tree . Therefore, cutting down the sakura tree is a last resort .
While I was thinking about such things, Swaying Bear cried <Ku~u~n> . This way of crying signals danger . When I look at my detection skills, a new set of wyverns comes from the sea .
Just how many are there gathering here?
As the wyverns began to approach the island, something emerged from the seaside where Kryna-Hark’s stone monument was located .
What!??
There’s a building-like thing rising from the sea .
[……Neck?] Yuna
What emerged from the sea was a long neck like a Plesiosaurus . The island shakes a little because the head comes out of the sea .
[Is that, Targui?] Yuna
Targui slowly turned to the wyverns and spewed water-jet out of its mouth like a laser . The water hits a flying wyvern and falls into the sea .
Wait, is that so easy to beat?
Then, Targui stretches his head towards the fallen Wyvern and eats the Wyvern . Furthermore, water with strong water pressure is shot towards another flying Wyvern . The Wyvern evaded, but Targui continuously shoots water and knocks the wyvern down to the water surface .
Then, this time, Targui turns his head and shoots water towards the Wyvern flying above the sakura tree . But this time, the wyvern successfully dodged since there was some distance . But Targui doesn’t stop attacking . Every time Targui spits water, the water(seawater) was pouring down from the sky . One wyvern begins to fly around Targui’s neck and the rest hid somewhere on the island .
I should run away, but I won’t run away . After all, the sakura tree seems to attract monsters .
However, the battle between Targui and Wyverns has really begun . Even though it started, Targui is attacking unilaterally . I’m unlikely to be able to join the fight .
But it would be great if Targui could beat the Wyverns . The monsters flying in the sky are quite troublesome . I wish I could fly, but I can’t fly in the sky .
If that happens, I have to deal with the Kraken who is about to land on Targui’s back . There is a possibility that Targui will handle it . However, my precious fruits could be destroyed .
It’s good to fight, but the problem is the number of Krakens . Even though I had a hard time defeating just one, there are three this time . I don’t really want to fight, but I can’t just let it go like the Wyverns .
Looking at the detection skills, the Krakens were moving slowly . Are they going to land on the island?
When I first checked it, there was still some distance between the sea and the island, but it seems that it was already landing on the island . That seems to be the case .
No matter how strong the Kraken is, if it goes ashore, I should be able to fight it more easily than in the previous fight .
The problem is the number of the Krakens, but they are slightly far from each other . If this is a game, I can destroy them all at once .
I head to the nearest Kraken . When I started running, Swaying Bear chased after me .
I feel uncomfortable while running .
That’s strange .
I’m running towards where the Kraken is, but I can’t see the Kraken . If it’s about the size of the Kraken that I fought before, I should be able to see it right now . But I still can’t see it .
I arrive at the place where the Kraken is supposed to be .
Nyoro, Nyoro (Squid noises . )
[…………] Yuna
<Kuu~n>
Nyoro, Nyoro
[…………] Yuna
<Kuu~n>
I snapped back .
My train of thoughts stopped for a moment . Swaying Bear rubbed against me and brought me back to reality .
[Etto, is that the Kraken?] Yuna
I compared the reaction signal of the detection skill . No doubt . It’s the Kraken . A squid of about 3m is walking on the island in front of me .
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a giant squid . It is moving slowly, with its long legs squeaking . Does this mean that it is also attracted to the sakura blossom trees?
When I collected magical power on my bear puppet, I created a big bear flame . Then, I threw it at the squid that seems to be a Kraken . When the Kraken was engulfed in bear flames, it tried to escape by wiggling, but it eventually stopped .
The Kraken’s reaction disappears from the detection skill . It seems that the giant squid was really a Kraken . Perhaps it was a child of that previous Kraken . When I moved to the next place, there was a Kraken bigger than the other one . But I don’t see it as a threat .
[Bear Fire . ] Yuna
What’s with that! I want you to return my time when I was worried about fighting you a while ago! When I thought that there were three Krakens, I thought it would be a little dangerous . But I never thought I was just an offspring of that Kraken .
Even in the game, the offspring of the Kraken never appears .
I don’t know how the monsters in this world were born . But it seems that a big Kraken doesn’t pop up suddenly .
The Kraken may also survive in the competition for survival in the sea and the winning Kraken might become the huge Kraken that appears in the story .
That’s just my guess though .
I move to the third Kraken .
Oh, big . The third Kraken was big . But even though it’s this big, the previous two were incomparable to this one . So as it matures, it seems to grow bigger and bigger . Thanks to Targui, I may have to thank it that I can subdue it before it grows up even more .
I threw several bear flames into Kraken, which was sluggish on land . And so, I safely subdued the three Kraken siblings .
The moment I thought it was over, Swaying Bear cried . When I look at Swaying Bear, he’s looking up . When I look up, a Wyvern is flying towards me at tremendous speed .
Wait, why is that Wyvern?
The Wyvern readied its legs with sharp claws to attack me .
I avoided the Wyvern’s attack by hair’s breadth . But I was sure that the Wyvern’s opponent will be Targui . I confronted the Wyvern that landed on the ground .
