Author’s Note 1:
This is a battle of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
Feel free to convert the `Ku~u ~ n’ in your brain (laughs).
=====
By the time Yuna reached the seal of the serpent, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear had also arrived at the location of the seal.
`Ku~u ~ n’
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried at the same time. Apparently, for their master, Yuna, they were competing to see who would arrive first.
But unfortunately, there was no one here to witness the match, so nobody could tell who had arrived first. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear rubbed each other’s bodies and admitted they were tied.
Besides, this isn’t the time to be fighting about it. In front of them, there was a wyvern eating a Volglass. Looking up, a wyvern can be seen threatening another Volglass.
`Ku~u ~ n’
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear tighten their faces.
The instructions from their master, Yuna, were to protect the seal in the building from the Volglass and the Wyverns, and not to be reckless. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear know that if they get hurt, their master, Yuna, will be sad, so they will try to achieve their goals without getting hurt.
When Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear appeared in front of the feasting wyvern, the wyvern raised its head and growled. The wyvern raises its head and growls, seemingly angry at being interrupted from eating.
However, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear showed no signs of fear and countered with a `Ku~u ~ n’ roar.
The wyvern swallowed the flesh of the Volglass and took a step towards Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, opening its mouth as if it had found its next prey.
`Ku~u ~ n’
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear put strength into their paws and get into a fighting stance.
The wyvern flapped its wings and flew into the sky. The wyvern then circled above Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, glided over them in one motion, and attacked them with its sharp-clawed talon. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear split off to the left and right to dodge the wyvern’s attack.
After dodging the attack, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear attacked the wyvern that had come down to the ground. However, the wyvern quickly flapped its wings and dodged the attacks of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear looked frustrated.
Since they’re on the ground, they’re helpless to do anything about the flying wyverns. A few Volglass also attacked Swaying Bear.
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear waved his arms and opened his mouth wide to intimidate the clinging Volglass.
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear called for Hugging Bear, but Hugging Bear was also under attack from another wyvern.
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear put all his energy into it. Then, the bearmonite in the ribbon on his chest glowed. Then, he swung his arm down, and a blade of wind flew out from the tip of his claw, slicing Volglass to pieces.
Then, when he tried to go to Hugging Bear’s side to help him, the fleeing wyvern attacked Swaying Bear.
The bears have created a tag-team style one on one formation against the wyverns.
But there are still some Volglass, though not many.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear deal with the wyverns while wary about the Volglass.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear then joined forces, fighting the wyverns.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear turned their butts to each other and protected their backs.
The two wyverns start circling above Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. They seem to be trying to time their attack.
As Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were waiting to see what would happen, a wyvern attacked them from above.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear positioned themselves so that the wyverns would come from the front.
`Ku~u ~ n’
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s ribbons glow. Under the influence of the bearmonite, their physical abilities increased. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear started running towards the oncoming wyvern.
When they crossed with each other, the sharp claws of the wyvern attacked Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, but Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear used their bear claws to attack the wyvern.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s claws slightly graze the wyvern, and blood flows from the wyvern’s body. The wyvern lets out an angry shriek `gyagya’.
While Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were fighting to gain the upper hand against the wyverns, the Volglass tried to destroy part of the building. In addition, other Volglass were gathering on top of the building.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear needed to protect the building that houses the seal.
`Ku~u ~ n’
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear discussed with each other.
Their master, Yuna, asked them to protect the building where the seal was located. So they need to defeat the monsters.
They set their priorities.
`Ku~u ~ n’
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear finished their discussion. It was decided that Swaying Bear would deal with the wyverns and Hugging Bear would protect the building.
`Ku~u ~ n’
`Ku~u ~ n’
After squealing at each other, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear ran off.
Hugging Bear knocked down Volglass trying to enter the building, then jumped and climbed up to the roof of the building to attack another Volglass. The Volglass flew away into the sky.
`Ku~u ~ n’
After escaping from Hugging Bear, Volglass flew through the air and began to circle around the building. Hugging Bear stood, waved his arms, and sent a blade of wind flying from his claws, slaying Volglass to the ground.
While Hugging Bear was protecting the building from Volglass, the battle between Swaying Bear and the Wyverns had begun.
The wyverns attacked from above them while Swaying Bear waited below.
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear roared at the wyvern.
Then the wyvern flapped its wings and sent a gust of wind. Swaying Bear ran on the ground. The wyvern chased the fleeing Swaying Bear.
Swaying Bear flipped and jumped towards the oncoming wyvern. Swaying Bear swung his claws down at the wyvern.
The wyvern flapped its wings and flew upward, dodging Swaying Bear’s claws that it thought would hit it. At the last moment, Swaying Bear’s attack failed to connect.
`Ku~u ~ n’
Swaying Bear landed on the ground and looked frustrated.
He put magic power into his body and swung his arm toward the hovering wyvern, and a blade of wind flew from his claws.
But the wyvern dodged it. Swaying Bear didn’t care and kept firing the wind blades one after the other.
As the wyvern tried to flee from Swaying Bear’s wind blade, there was something white attacking from behind it.
`Ku~u ~ n’
Hugging Bear had attacked the wyvern from the top of the building. Hugging Bear’s sharp claws tore at the wyvern’s wings. The wind blade that Swaying Bear had been firing non-stop had guided the wyvern towards the building. There, Hugging Bear attacked it from the top of the building. Since the attack was from behind, the wyvern could not notice and was struck by Hugging Bear’s attacks.
The wyvern was also hit by Swaying Bear’s attack and was knocked to the ground. The wyvern tried to get up and run away, but Hugging Bear buried his claws into the wyvern’s neck.
`Ku~u ~ n’
`Ku~u ~ n’
The tag team of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear defeated the wyvern.
All that remained was a single wyvern and a few Volglass. But Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear had a complete advantage.
=====
By the time Yuna, Swaying Bear, and Hugging Bear arrived at the building where their respective seals were located, Kagali had also arrived at her assigned building.
I have to finish this quickly and get to the bears.
I’m worried about Shinobu and the bear girl, but I’m most concerned about the bears. Mumroot is counting on that bear girl to be a force to be reckoned with. Her power is unknown. She may look strange, but even Shinobu and Sakura approve of her.
And I know Shinobu. She’s a bit goofy, but she’s a serious girl at heart. She is a pupil of Jubei, and she is a girl of some ability. But if you ask me if she’s a top-notch fighter, I’d say she’s not. However, considering her age, she is strong enough. She can handle a wyvern. The question is, how many wyverns can she take? If there are more of them, the situation could get worse.
The same can be said for the Bear Girl and her bears. Every place has its own concerns. I must defeat those monsters quickly and rush to the other places.
The Volglass were flying around the building, and two wyverns flew above it.
“Firstly, the Volglass are in the way.” (Kagali)
One of the Volglass is coming towards me.
“Bonfire! Blaze!” (Kagali)
Kagali used the magic power she had gathered in her hands to spew a ball of flame, a bonfire. Surrounded by the bonfire, Volglass fell to the ground, screeching.
The other Volglass reacted to the screech and turned their heads to Kagali.
“I’ll roast you, so come on.” (Kagali)
Kagali roasted the attacking Volglass.
It would be nice if they could leave the building and come to me. I can’t use the bonfire if they’re in the building.
And as she was steadily baking the Volglass, a large bird came down from the sky with great speed and started eating the Volglass that Kagali had baked. Two wyverns landed on the ground.
I’m grateful that you’re coming to me.
“Bonfire!” (Kagali)
She shot a bonfire at the wyvern that was eating Volglass, but its wings prevent it.
Disturbed from its meal, the wyvern growls and turns its face towards Kagali.
It got annoyed that its meal was interrupted.
Well, even Kagali would be angry if she was interrupted while she was having a drink.
The wyvern stopped eating. Spreading its wings, it flapped them.
The flapping wings shot a blade of wind at Kagali. Kagali dodged by turning herself around. At the same time, she retaliated by shooting a bonfire, but it was blocked by the hard leather wings.
As expected, it’s not as effective against the Volglass.
I don’t want to use too much power, taking into account the serpent in mind.
If the building got destroyed or the seal was broken, it would become a disaster.
Besides, defeating the monsters here won’t be the end of it.
The bear girl, Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, and Shinobu are fighting elsewhere. If the seal is broken in any one place, it’s over.
Kagali put more energy into her body. The clothes around her hips flutter. A new tail emerged from beneath her clothes, forming two tails.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve done this, and it’s exhausting.” (Kagali)
She wagged her tail to make sure everything was okay.
“Now then, let’s get on with it, shall we?” (Kagali)
=====
Author’s Note 2:
The battle began in their respective places.
After all, it’s better to have Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear together than separately.
Kagali’s tail has increased.
It looks like there will be more to come!
