Isekai Monster Breeder
Chapter 126 – VS The Black Swordsman (II)
So.
I had a quick strategy session with Lemis-san, and then decided to run to where Crow was.
“Master, maybe I can only stop Crow for a minute with my power.”
“Well. If you can buy me a minute of time, that’s enough.”
Spy Fish | LV 5/5 | Grade G
Vitality: 13
Strength: 13
Magic: 13
Mana: 6
Skills:
Water Magic (Beginner).
The key to this mission is the Spy Fish that Lemis-san lent me.
Although the Spyfish had a low status, its transparent body had the advantage of being difficult to find in the sea.
I’ve come up with a plan that goes something like this.
First, Carolina would get Crow’s attention.
Then, using my transformation skill, I would take the form of a Spy Fish and approach Crow from behind.
The plan is to throw a capsule ball at him to catch him.
“…There he is!”
As I swim transformed into the Spy Fish, I finally find my target, Crow.
The boy, wearing a cape like a crow’s plumage, was approaching Mermaid Castle with his diving magic.
Tatsunoko Fighter | LV 25/25 | Grade C
Vitality: 188
Strength: 293
Magic: 118
Mana: 230
Skills:
Water Magic (Intermediate).
Right now.
Crow was surrounded by five Tatsunoko Fighters.
“Pushuuuuuuuuu!”
“…It’s no use.”
The five Tatsunoko Fighters jumped on Crow at the same time.
But then the next thing I knew…
It was that something incredible happened.
Are you… are you kidding me?
The blood red suddenly rises.
The five Tatsunoko Fighters had been dismembered before they could even scream for their deaths.
Let me first say that the Tatsunoko Fighter is not a weak monster.
On the contrary, in underwater combat, they should have been able to compete with the Kraken.
I won’t forgive you…
How could he do such a horrible thing…!
If you look closely, you’ll see that the path Crow took was littered with the bodies of sea creatures.
“It’s been a long time, Crow of the Twin Swords.”
“Ho… your face looks familiar.”
Crow murmured with a look of admiration when he saw the figure of Carolina.
“How strange. The master of vampires… Carolina Burton. Shouldn’t you have been given to the slaveholders at Saint Bell?”
“I will avenge my brothers and sisters who were killed by you here and now!”
Carolina attacked.
She used wind magic to move across the ocean in all directions.
As expected from Carolina!
With the skill of Wind Magic (Advanced), Carolina is able to move at super speed even on the sea.
No matter how you call yourself Crow, you will never be able to handle this speed.
“Do you think you’re going to cause me any trouble with that kind of magic?”
He smiled smugly and then…
Countless whirlpools formed around Crow.
“Wind Magic (Super). Mega Tornado. Be honored. This is the first time I’ve shown this magic to a demon.”
Emerging whirlpools merge into one.
Eventually, they all come together to form a single great tornado.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The tornado swallowed up all the creatures around it and grew like a snowball.
Even Carolina, a master of wind magic, could not escape the tornado’s pull.
“……!”
Trapped in the vortex, Carolina’s body begins to fill with wounds.
Damn it…
I want to disable my transformation skill right now and beat the crap out of Crow.
But now it’s time to be patient.
I’ll get a little closer to Crow while Carolina holds his attention!
“I don’t understand. What are you trying to do?”
He has absolute confidence that he can defeat her at any time if he feels like it.
Crow disappeared the tornado and approached the injured Carolina.
“I know you’re not stupid. You must have realized in the last battle that I’m no match for you.”
“……”
This is bad!
Crow is aware of our strategy.
We can’t afford to wait for an opportunity.
I have to get close and finish the job!
Nowaaaa!
I went up to Crow at full speed, pulled the ball out of my mouth and pressed it against his neck.
Yeah! Right on target!
In any case, the peace of Mermaid Castle has been preserved.
I feel I’ve added an extra person to my team, but I’ll think about how to handle it later.
Kukuku.
I’ll make sure you get what you deserve for hurting Carolina!
“Huh? What? What’s going on?”
Huh? Why? What’s wrong?
Grasping the capsule ball in his right hand, Crow tilted his head in wonder.
He didn’t repel it or use his clothes to cover himself.
It must have made direct skin contact.
And It still couldn’t catch Crow?!
“I see. So your name is Kazehaya Souta.”
What did he say? What did he just say?
If I’m not mistaken, I think I heard my name.
“Interesting. What kind of ‘thing’ do you have that can defeat me?”
There’s no doubt about it.
Crow is aware of my presence.
H-How did he find out?
My transformation skill must have been perfect!
It may have looked strange swimming in the body of an unknown fish, but that alone would make it impossible to identify my name.
“Magic Eye. It’s a skill compatible with your Appraisal Eyes. It looks like you’ve turned into a demon, but it shows me your name.”
That’s not good at all!
Retreat! Retreat!
I put Carolina back on the ball at full speed and ran away from Crow.
“What are you, an idiot? You can’t run away from me.”
Mo-Move!
I didn’t think it was possible, so I turned around and saw Crow grabbing my tail.
T-This guy!
What kind of fish am I supposed to be?
The distance between us must have been about 10 meters when I last checked.
How fast can he move?
“…I see. I couldn’t see your condition from afar, but this explains it. So you were going to use that ‘Absolute Control’ blessing to keep me on the ball…”
“……”
He knows!
I see.
I do see.
I may know what skills a demon possesses, but I can’t say the same about a human.
But his Magic Eye is capable of seeing even a human who is using the Transformation Skill.
“It wasn’t a bad strategy, but it’s a shame. The ‘Power of the Chosen One’ I possess overrides all skills. Therefore, your ruse was meaningless.”
Crow.
May I say just one thing?
Nerf that cheating effect!
Cheat gear, cheat swordsman, cheat magic, cheat skills, cheat blessings.
You’re one of those!
You’re the protagonist of a high school fantasy novel!
“…Um, by the way, my question is, if I apologize, would you let it go?”
I’m already clear that there’s no way this is going to work out.
Maybe the two of us being summoned from Japan to this other world will be able to help me?
I went back to my old self and begged for my life.
“…It’s not possible. How am I supposed to let someone who favors demons to live?”
Th-This guy’s serious.
When it comes to killing, he’s not gonna hesitate to do it.
Come to think of it, he’s been that way ever since he beat those A-rank adventurers in the town of Saint Bell.
A battle-hardened maniac who thinks human life is nothing but a bunch of worms. A psychopath.
I guess that’s the nature of this man, Cross Ryuki.
“Game time is over. Become the rust on my sacred sword…!”
Oh, wait.
Does a high school student my age really have such crazy personality?
It’s hard to believe.
Normally, high school boys would be at an age when they’re only interested in what a high school girl’s skirt looks like.
At that point, a single possibility crossed my mind to beat Crow.
Right before his sword was about to fall.
I decided to take a chance on that idea.
