Antarctica, 7 years before present.
“Hmm. They’ve arrived once more.”
“Yeah, looks like it. And it’s a giant octopus this time.”
I am on the Pacific Coast with Bob-san. A five-meter-tall enormous octopus is rising from the sea to the land ahead of us, assaulting the Shujin penguins. Of course, the octopus attacking the Shujin penguins is not a demon created by the “Polar Queen of the Eternal South.”
The name of the Demon King who conjured this giant octopus is the “Crawling Octopus King of Chaos”. He is one of the worst Demon Kings, having established a dungeon somewhere under the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and deprived humanity of control over the sea.
“Well then, I’ll drop its legs, so you will deal with the main body, Bob-san.”
“Yes!”
“ーーー!!!”
The gigantic octopus lifts one of its legs and seeks to crush the two of us together as I surge forward and Bob-san begins to prepare his skills.
But,
“Do you really reckon such an attack will do the trick? ≪Sword of the Formless King・Weak≫.”
From the metal I have on hand, I generate a wide massive hatchet in my right hand, and right after its generation, I teleport and sever the leg of the giant octopus.
“ーーー!?”
Perhaps because its leg has been removed, the giant octopus tries to rampage, swinging all its remaining legs in all directions, but of course, I do not allow it to do so and proceed to chop off its legs in turn, starting with the leg closest at hand with ≪Sword of the Formless King・Weak≫.
I have recently discovered that the sword produced by the ≪Sword of the Formless King・Weak≫ seems to be greatly influenced by my image and depending on my imagination, it can be a basic double-edged long sword, the so-called longsword, a short sword like a dagger or a knife. There are massive swords that can only be found in video games, such as bastard swords and claymores. Even swords such as the falchion and the kukri, and Japanese swords are available, not to mention rapiers, estocs, and other thrusting swords. Apparently, fictional weapons also can be made, like the hatchet and bayonet I used at this time.
As long as there are enough materials, it is capable of producing a huge sword that can cleave through a battleship with a single sword strike.
“ーーー!!”
The giant octopus’s legs are then chopped off, resulting in it becoming like a daruma doll, and flails around in unrelenting agony along with its severed legs.
However, that is the point where Bob-san finishes preparing his skill and assumes the attack posture.
“Here I come! ≪Band of Polar Light≫.”
On Bob-san’s right arm, an aurora fabric infused with prominent electricity and magnetism is formed, while the electricity from the belt is centered on his right hand. It then converges to the utmost limit and begins to scatter rainbow-colored light and crackling noises to the surroundings.
“ーーー!!”
When the gigantic octopus notices this, it deems it threatening and furiously attempts to approach Bob-san and assault him with its legless body, but it is already too late.
“≪Thunder Javelin≫!”
Bob-san produces a more fearsome ≪Thunder Javelin≫ in his right hand than the ordinary ≪Thunder Javelin≫ and hurls it towards the giant octopus.
“ーーー!?”
Multiple bolts of lightning strike the surroundings with a thunderous boom as the ≪Thunder Javelin≫ penetrates the giant octopus’s forehead, searing the giant octopus and all of its legs laying around it until they are charred black.
The aroma of the roasted octopus begins to pervade the area.
“It’s over, isn’t it?”
“Right. Well, shall we slice out some of the meat and leave?”
“Let’s do that.”
Therefore, after cutting a portion of the giant octopus for our meal, we return to the Polar Queen’s dungeon.
It has been a little over two years since I started training with the Polar Queen.
There are many things I have learned about Polar Queen.
To begin with, the Polar Queen’s kin is known as Nankyokujin, but Bob-san is the only one. The reason for this is that there were no more humans in Antarctica except Bob-san at the time Polar Queen became a Demon King, attained Level 2, and was capable of creating kin.
That is not the end of the story, but according to Polar Queen, “There is a strong possibility that Bob is my elder brother, considering the faint remaining… or rather, the unnaturally vanished records and circumstantial evidence”.
When she mentioned that, it is true that they do look alike. They share similar facial expressions, laugh in similar ways, and so forth.
Furthermore, it seems that the Polar Queen and Bob-san can communicate in Japanese is because they both like Japanese animation and wanted to watch the original work in its original state.
…Being an otaku is amazing.
Now, in terms of my own personal growth, I have gained some knowledge about the types of swords that can be created by ≪Sword of the Formless King・Weak≫ as mentioned earlier, as well as about ≪Monster Creation・Low Rank≫.
Apparently, this ≪Monster Creation・Low Rank≫ is a downgraded version of ≪Monster Creation≫ that the Demon King possesses, and when monsters are created with this, unlike ≪Monster Creation≫, they are created using raw materials. In other words, it seems to require proteins, etc, and in addition, the number of types is also limited and I can only create one type of monster which is this one:
・Flying Sword
Magical creature sword type demon.
This is a demon created by utilizing ≪Monster Creation・Low Rank≫ on a sword. It possesses intelligence to the extent that it can obey the master’s commands, and has flight ability.
Summoning cost: HP, MP, and SP are consumed in proportion to the size of the intended sword.
Moreover, when one hour has passed after its creation, the demon created by ≪Monster Creation・Low Rank≫ reverts to the original sword.
And the Polar Queen is coming this way now.
“Is something the matter, Polar Queen?”
“Yes. Your desire to cross over to the African continent has been realized, so I thought I would share the news with you.”
“Is that true!”
I involuntarily rise from the chair in which I was sitting.
Incidentally, I chose African continent as my destination because the South American continent is too far away from Japan. On the Australian continent, the attacks of the Demon King in the Indian and Pacific Oceans would be too ferocious for me to travel there.
“Mm-hmm. So when do you want to leave?
“Anytime is possible.”
“I understand. If you insist, you shall go at once..”
Thus, after thanking Polar Queen and Bob-san for their hospitality, I set off for the continent of Africa.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
