Harem of the final villain in an ERO MMO!!! I just need to survive
Chapter 135 135: An Uncovered Truth [Pt2]
"Hey, you both can fight against each other later. Right now, we have a monster to take care of."
Master Shinzou's sharp voice cut through the fighting pair like a knife through butter. His displeasure was clear on his face to see and it caused both Shimi and Nufort to take a step back.
The blooming shadow of the Fenrir cub leaned over their bodies and the direness of this situation suddenly drew on them. They were wasting time-fighting each other. Their time could be better spent fighting the Fenrir beast.
"Wait for a second. The government gave me something that might be effective against these beasts. Let me find my device in my bag."
Nufort quickly opened his bag to look around.
The fact that he was doing such a thing in the middle of the battle did not seem to register in his mind until the ground beneath his feet shook.
"You idiot. Now is not the time to be looking around."
Shimi scolded Nufort but the man was not paying any attention to her. It was time for Shimi to turn her attention elsewhere and protect herself from the Fenrir beast.
But she also somehow felt responsible for distracting Nufort before so she decided to stop complaining and protect him for the time being. The Grandmaster's barrier was finally down and everyone was ready to take on the beast.
The pup growled with utter hatred in its eyes. It looked at everyone but its focus was on the Grandmaster.
Its massive claws (for a pup) were raised and a sudden fire tinted them blue. The beast attacked and no one tried to counter that attack. Instead, they all got out of its way (dragged out in the case of Nufort) before the fire could touch them.
That turned out to be a massive decision because the ground where that fire touched was burned black. The ground itself seemed to have been decimated.
"That is a massive bomb that we are being threatened with. Let us hope nothing worse happens to us by accident."
Clair looked at the ground but she did not sound shocked. There were many kinds of powers in this world and she knew better than anyone else how dangerous gods could get.
"This is enough. Work! I said work, you stupid sword!"
Master Shinzou took out the gifted wooden sword again and he tried to make it work as it had before. He wanted the flames to cover the sword and provide him with a power boost.
But like before, the sword was dormant and non-responsive. His desire to make the sword work was of no use at all.
He was sure that his desire had been the fuel to light the sword on fire before but the same thing was not working this time. Master Shinzou could not pinpoint what was wrong.
"You all…. die….and….be eaten…."
Keith was too busy surviving for the time being so he was startled by the sudden voice he heard. He was rough and barely used. It was even mixed with growls and pants, making one question if it was the human language at all.
But the feeling one got from those words was rather heavy and angry. If Keith had to say, he would say that the words were covered in a layer of red aura that signified negative emotions.
He looked around to see if anyone else noticed this or not but it did not seem to be the case. Everyone else, even Clair seemed to be busy trying to take down the beast. If they did hear this weird speech, they did not show it on their face.
".... your…mana…. needed…. wake…up…. owner…"
The thing kept on speaking and Keith had a sinking feeling that he was hearing the disjointed thoughts of the Fenrir beast. He wanted to deny the possibility but it was something that seemed more and more impossible to do.
After all, there was no one else but the Fenrir beast left around them which was capable of such a thing. And the thought of some unknown entity speaking in such a manner to Keith and others was a little terrifying for him to think.
'Let us not think about it. Maybe I am too tired and now my brain is making shit up.'
This will not be the first time something like that would have happened. Probably.
The Fenrir beast had picked its target. And why would its target be anyone else but Keith? From the first moment the beast had opened its eyes and spotted Keith, it had shown nothing but anger and resentment.
"...you…Killed me…once…. will…not…allow that…again…cannot…die…"
The beast yelled in an uncomfortable voice. Keith had to block his ears so that the voice did not hurt him. But in doing so, he left himself somewhat exposed to the incoming attack.
Keith tried to raise his barrier in time but the thing was flimsy at best and fragile at the worst. A single blow would have knocked the barrier down if not for the cry of triumph he heard.
"Finally, I found it. It was such a small and difficult thing to notice."
Nufort took out a small stick and broke it. Smoke and light filled the area but it was not uncomfortable for Keith or other humans.
The Fenrir beast, on the other hand, recoiled and took a few steps back. It had blood pouring out of its eyes and its body was shaking.
The sudden rush of fear and adrenaline that Master Shinzou felt at seeing the breast charge at the Grandmaster was enough to transform his sword. And he quickly used the flames to purify the Fenrir beast pup in front of him.
"...not…the…end…will…be…back…cannot…be…killed…off…by…humans…"
The Fenrir beast promised to Keith and he had a sinking feeling that bastard was right. After all, the Fenrir beast had managed to come back a few times. What was stopping it from coming back even more times?
Not to mention, they were lacking the means to take down the monster.
"Hump, see I knew the government knew what they were doing. This ghost-repellent light is useful for fighting inhuman things. Young master Steward invented them as well for our department to use."
Nufort presented the small stick he had broken to the group. It was a small tube-like thing barely bigger than Keith's finger.
There were a few more in the case Nufort was holding and Keith's fingers twitched to swipe a few off him for future use. Especially since it did not look like the Fenrir beast was going to give up.
"We do not need your pathetic experiments. In the end, Master Shinzou was the one who purified the beast and sent it back home, right? So that means he is superior to any of your devices. Besides, your department is the reason these beasts exist in the first place."
Shimi quickly dashed all the pride and joy Nufort had been feeling until now. Nufort was suddenly red-faced but he tried not to let Shimi get to him.
"O-Of not. These beasts and this technology to bring back souls existed before our department even studied them. If we did not study it, then we would not have the means to combat it like we did today."
Nufort countered with a justified reply but Shimi looked far from satisfied with his answer.
"If you people left this technology behind a secure lock and key, then most people would not even attempt to try this safely. Not to mention, there would be no kidnapping of people for personal gain. So, in the end, whose fault, is it?"
Shimi countered back. Both Shimi and Nufort were egging each other on at this point and Keith very subtly tried to move his eyebrows in a way that caused his pain to lessen.
He expected no one to notice him but Master Fushi did notice him. And she frowned as she watched the Grandmaster make a pained face. She did not want him to be in trouble or even be annoyed.
"The one at fault here is the one who stole the technology which already belonged to the government. But the government is also at fault for not protecting the technology. But it does not matter who is at fault here, alright? So, break it up, you two."
Master Fushi inserted herself into the group in front of her. She did not tell them that they were annoying the Grandmaster because she did not want to sound ridiculous but she also did not want them to continue in such a manner.
"B-But it is her fault. She was the one who started this discussion-"
"So not true. You are the reason I must start this conversation, so the fault lies with you and-"
"Both of you will remain quite from on now. You are making my mood worse with your yelping and I will punish you both if you do not give me silence."
Finally, Master Shinzou decided to speak up and that was the final warning for everyone.
