Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 456

 

Vouivre



"Ginkei, what's the situation!"


I'm running towards the lake.


The closer I get, the stronger the feeling of weakness becomes.


"The surrounding Almana Quantum is decreasing at an accelerating rate."


"Is the mana being absorbed or is it a monster?"


"No living creature can absorb that much."


The trees around the lake have been burned down by the impact and heat.


There are wild animals, livestock, and corpses of Isalka people who must have been alive up until that moment...


After passing through that disaster, I finally arrived at a position where I could see the lake.


"Ah... this is no living creature."


The lake had lost most of its water.


In the center of the lake, there was an obvious artifact at the bottom of the lake.


A lump of iron in the shape of a rounded trapezoid


"Ginkei, is that an egg?"


"I checked the data. That's not an egg, it's a drop pod."


What Ginkei calls a drop pod already has a hole in it.


What appeared from there was something that could not be considered a natural creature.


Overall, it was a four-legged creature with long front legs like an ape.


But it had a mouth like a praying mantis


Insect-like limbs.


Its entire body was covered in a pure white shell.


You can call it a chimera


Then, the true identity that comes out from there is


"Synthetic dragon…"


"Yes, TYPE B."


"I see, so it's my brother. Can I communicate with it?"


"Impossible. Also, I would like to correct Shiro Edgeworth's statement."


"Did I say something strange?"


"Yes, that individual is TYPE B, so technically, Edgeworth, the Chief God, is its brother."


"Then what is the relationship between me and it?"


"…Mother?"


"Rejected, asshole."


I'm not going to accept a mother like that!


"For now, I’ll give it one blow!"


"I don't think it's a good idea to kill your mother, you know?"


"You're persistent with that story. Who did you get that sense of humor from?"


"The joke's on the imperial subjects?"


What kind of education do you have, imperial subjects?


Anyway, one blow


Refine the sword to its maximum size.


I wrap it in mana and throw it with all my might.


"For God's sake, die!"


The sword flies towards the enemy while generating a sonic boom.


And it goes straight into the enemy's neck? It pierces into a place like the neck.


"I see the damage, but it doesn't seem to be in pain."


"I don’t care, one more blow!"


I threw another one in the same way.


But it's evaded.


"You're kidding!"


The problem is how the enemy avoided it.


Was it the upper body that was coming out of the pod? It seems it was


And what came out was


"Hey, how many meters is that guy's lower body?"


"Estimated to be 700 meters."


A long tail? Lower body?


It is a body structure that cannot be expressed in words.


And it started flying in the sky with that body


"Attack, coming"


"Shit!"


Its 700-meter-long tail shines brightly


It slams it down on me.


I wanted to catch it with my sword, but


When it got close enough, I felt heat on my face.


"(Not good!)"


I stopped trying to catch it with my sword and rolled to the side pathetically.


But when I looked at the ground, I was convinced that my decision was correct.


The place where I had just been was melted down like the contents of a blast furnace.


"What's with that temperature?"


"I can confirm that the iron sand in the ground has evaporated, and I estimate the temperature to be no higher than 3,000 degrees Celsius."


Wouldn't I die if I caught this?


What about radiant heat?


"If this is a failure, then what am I?"


And the enemy ignores me and flies away.


"What's over there!"


"I don't know, but I think it's dangerous to leave it alone."


"That's right. The enemy's name is [Vouivre], and I will subjugate it!”


"I'll leave the smallest unit behind and send the entire force to take it out."
