The Spearmaster and the Black Cat Chapter 285

Its possible that those silver horns are high-class items and great crafting materials. Im pretty sure itd give Eva and Mysty great pleasure if they were metallic. They might also work as presents for Zaga, Bon, and Rubia.

On top of that, the dinosaurs should consist of meat. If its meat surpassing the evil domain cows in taste, itd also contribute to my mansions lunch and dinner. Besides, if I make it a gift for Eva and Dee-san, they might be able to create a special, limited menu out of it.

Rollo, were going to kill that dinosaur pack we might be poking our noses into something we shouldnt, but well save that carriage.

Nyao.

I finish my words by pulling a cool pose of pointing my arm towards the place where the dinosaur pack makes its way through the plain like a meandering crowd of American Pythons.

Nnn Rollo ignores my posing, jumps off her favorite resting place, and grows mid flight, transforming into her horse lion form.

No matter how often I witness this, she looks really cool. An imposing head close to that of a panther, and a long tail extending from her horse torso.

She mischievously brushes her tail against my face as if telling me, Hurry! Get on nya!. Her fur feels ticklish, but its still a dear sensation. She doesnt extend her tentacles, though.

Just a sec. Ill put this away first. With those words I store the Tiny Orbital into my item box, and then jump onto Rollos back, sitting down on her fluffy, black pelt.

At once Rollo prepares her rein tentacle in front of my eyes. I grab her soft tentacle, and stick the flat part at its tip onto my neck, allowing me to share Rollodeens sensations.

Alright, time for a charge. Lets imitate Guan Yu!

Nyaooooo

Rollodeen lifts her thoroughbred-like, long and thick front legs which seem to narrow down towards the hooves. Seemingly having perceived my mental image, she performs a magnificent wheelie.

After showing me her liveliness and drive, she immediately starts to gallop.

Lets go!

With Helmes cheering in the background, Rollodeen keeps rushing down the hill at a frightening speed. I summon Baldok into my right hand, extending its tip to the lower right. Immediately following, I feel a hard feedback from its red ax blade. Looking at it, I see how the blade releases crimson sparks as it scratches across the ground.

Given that were traveling at a considerable speed, the sparks dance through the air, making it look as if a crimson trail follows the ax blade in its wake.

I adjust the blades angle, bringing it up to a horizontal alignment, and shift my eyes in the direction of the dinosaurs. Using her powerful limbs, Rollo runs down the hill, and then charges across the plain. Shes hurrying towards the carriage and its pursuers, but the carriage looks about to be crushed by the dinosaur running in the lead.

I consider shooting {Chain}, but Rollodeen acts before I can do anything. She releases dozens of tentacles from all over her body while leaping up, stabbing the dinosaurs body. Next she retracts her tentacles. Of course the dinosaur gets pulled her way with its body having been pierced by the tentacle bone swords. Its huge frame is rapidly approaching in front of my eyes.

HuntPlayFunMeat

At the same time as Rollodeens joy is telepathically passed on to me, I active {Powerful Slash}. While bisecting the thick neck of the blood stained dinosaur with the ax blade, we jump over the carriage. A large flush of blood rains down on the carriages frame beneath as it gushes out of the cut section. However, I suck up the blood right away.

The carriage is struck by the soil hurled up when Rollo lands, and tumbles over. I dont know whether its evil races or demons riding that carriage, but I hope theyre alright?

Burning Knights, Helme, come out I get off Rollodeen while giving such instructions as I touch the ring on my finger.

Okay!

Helme leaps out of my left eye, and starts transforming into a humanoid shape, but halts in the middle of it, leaving her body half liquid. Next she shoots ice pebbles at the dinosaurs feet. The dinosaurs hit by the pebbles fall over as if being tripped.

Rollo, make sure to not break the silver horns. You can freely feast on the rest of them. Ill go take a look at the carriage.

Nyaoo.

Having fully finished transforming into her humanoid shape, Helme lands beautifully.

Hahahahahahahaha! My imagination is bursting forth! I shall aim at those cheeky butts!

Helme-san sure is beautiful, but those are words of a maniac. She heads towards the left while talking about weird things. Rollo takes the other side.

Catiza, youre up

As a precaution, I also call out to Catiza-finger. The sixth finger on my right hand falls to the ground. Meanwhile the Burning Knights have appeared as well.

Your Excellencyyy, Zemetas is at your service!

Your Excellencyyyyy, Adomos is at your service!

You guys guard the perimeter around the carriage. If any dinosaurs come close, draw their attention and kill them. I order while pointing at the carriage.

Leave it to me!

Being a decoy is my strong suit.

I shall give them a taste of my {Bone Roar}.

No, it will be my {Bone Roar}

The Burning Knights start running, obviously competing with each other. However, since the dinosaurs theyre waiting for are going to be systematically slaughtered by Rollodeen and Helme, their turn

Either way, I think the carriages vicinity should be okay with these measures.

Emissary-samaaa, Catiza is at your service!

You really dont need to imitate them in everything. Join the dinosaur extermination. I leave the rest to you.

Okaaay Catiza replies in a carefree manner.

Although she heads to the battlefield while performing cartwheels, her movements are slow. Shes chosen to go to Rollodeen whos rampaging while spitting her fire left and right. Catiza might get hit by the fire breaths, seeing how slow she is.

Catiza, dont try the impossible. Fight from a distance while keeping Rollo in sight.

Ill be fine, Emissary-sama

Shes summoned her bone fish. I suppose shes going to fight while riding it.

And just as I expected, she energetically travels through the air after mounting the fish. {Demonic Bonefish}, was it? Ive never ridden one of those yet. Lets have her give me a lift some time.

With her bum on the fishs back, she happily waves a hand around. Then she points the black nails on the fingers of that hand at the head of a dinosaur diagonally below, and extends them. The nail tips keep extending as they draw an arc in the air, stabbing through the three eyeballs of the dinosaur. Blood gushes out of those eyeballs.

Gyaoooo. Having its eyes stabbed, the dinosaur cries out in pain, and stops moving.

At that point, Rollodeen enters my sight as she dashes while whirling up the soil. Sharp fangs glitter dangerously in her muzzle as she draws upon the injured dinosaur. In the next moment her fangs sink into its throat, and tear out around half of its neck as she runs past.

Nyaoooon Rollodeen points her muzzle upwards and howls like a wolf while devouring the dinosaurs flesh and gulping down its blood.

To me it sounded like One more down nyaaa.

Her meowing is cute. However, she totally looks like a predatorclad in a terrifyingly intimidating aura.

Rollo-sama Youre superb~! Ca-chan cheers on from above.

While praising Rollo, she shoots her nails at one dinosaur after the other. Shes properly sticking to supporting Rollodeen.

Now then, Im going to head over to the carriage

As I run over, the hinges of the fallen carriage rattle, and the door opens. Apparently having been built very sturdy, only the carriages surface has slight scratches and cracks, with its wheels still intact.

The ones coming out of the door are a three-eyed woman, and an elderly three-eyed man with a hooked nose. Several bruises are visible on their bodies, apparently an effect of the carriage falling over. However, they dont seem to bear any conspicuous, external wounds.

You okay?

Yes. Ah, eh? A two-eye? Besides The woman looks around her.

Seeing how the dinosaurs are one-sidedly slaughtered by Rollo and my subordinates, she widens her three eyes in surprise. Still, despite of her three eyes, shes quite the beauty. She has somewhat wavy, blond hair with the forelocks gently flowing down, hiding her forehead and eyes a bit. The two, long-slit eyes are no different from those of humans. I guess the third eye on her forehead is characteristic of evil races. It has a slightly different shape. Her eyelashes are the second similarity with humans. I think the eyelashes on her third eye are a bit shorter though. Her nose is somewhat lifted, she has a small Adams apple, and her lips are small with a charming red color. Her chin is narrow, and although she has several dark moles, its rather attractive. Id label her whole appearance as golden ratio for beauties.

Moreover, the womans dress is gorgeous. Its a silken outfit thats open at her chest. The skirt beneath her narrow belt, tied tightly enough to make her narrow waistline obvious, has a slit at its front, and a very chic design. She looks like nobility.

The hook-nosed man wears a doublet jacket with a pelt added to the high collar. I suppose both must have fairly high social standings?

Please dont worry. Is anyone seriously injured?

After bracing her jaw with a jerk, she speaks up while looking at me, No, theres no one here beside us. Thank you very much for having rescued us from the dofuadon.

So those dinosaurs are called dofuadon, huh?

I just witnessed the chase by chance. Its wonderful to see that youre safe and sound.

Yes, indeed. This will also save this area. Thanks. The woman places a hand on her chest, revealing an expression full of relief. Then she flashes a beautiful smile at me.

Yes, no doubt. You havent saved only us, but all the people living in the Arsayban Village. Could you please tell us your name? The elderly man asks.

It looks like theyve come from a village called Arsayban. Because his face resembles that of an ogre, he gives me a slightly scary impression.

Thats great news. My name is Shuuya.

Shuuya-sama

Thank you, Shuuya-sama.

Your Excellency, Im sorry, but would it be fine for us to also join the extermination of the big monsters over there? Zemetas asks me humbly.

Hiii.

S-Skeleton

The evil races become scared after noticing the Burning Knights. Well, it makes sense. The Burning Knights are no more than skeletons with empty eye sockets.

Still, the servants in my mansion havent been particularly disturbed even after seeing the Burning Knights on the courtyard

Well, their employer is me, and since theyre worshiping Helme, they probably see no reason to kick up a fuss over nothing. They might have unexpectedly taken lessons at their school for dealing with strange masters.

I dont mind. Go and have some fun. While at it, make sure to collect all the magic stones, meat and horns for me.

Yes, Your Excellency, please leave it to us.

Steamy smoke wafts out of the knights chests, as if to indicate their consent. I watch how they head over to Helme with puff-puff smoke rising from their backs. That smoke totally looks like a cloak.

Meanwhile Helme has been creating several sharp ice spears, shooting them at the dinosaurs in succession while floating in the air.

I look back at the two evil races, Please excuse me for startling you. Theyre my reliable subordinate, so do not fret.

Okay. They seem to be courageousare you possibly a chosen apostle of Evil God Shadow-sama, or someone like an Evil Domain Monk-sama?

An apostle or evil domain monkI guess its only natural for her to mistake me for one of them if I exhibit such combat forces.

No, Im neither.

Is that so? Do you belong to the special forces operating in Mubilques Forest then?

No. As you can see, I have two eyes. Im of a different race. Ah, but Im not a demon. I point at my forehead, stressing that I dont have any eyes there.

I know. Demons would havenever rescued us after all.

Lets head over toIshytes Hillthen, Towa. For the sake of everyone

Got it, Dawk. Lets go. Shuuya-sama, once again, thank you very much.

Farewell, Two-Eyed Hero Shuuya-sama. The man called Dawk refers to me as a hero.

Okay, goodbye

So the ruins, where we had been a while ago, are calledIshytes Hill, eh?

Towa and Dawk walk towards that place in a hurry. Maybe one of them is a sacrifice?

The words naturally leave my mouth, targeting their backs as theyre hurrying away from me, Excuse me, please wait a moment.

Yes?

What might be the matter?

I run up to them. Its kinda difficult to ask, but I guess Ill simply be honest here.

Umm, I was wondering, are you heading there to become sacrifices?

Of course.

Both look as if its common sense to sacrifice ones life. I guess its only reasonable for them to sacrifice someone for the sake of their land. But, somewhere deep inside them they should have the wish to keep on living

The white mist is soon going to be upon us. Bye.

Towa and Dawk nod at each other, and leave me.

Okaymy small feeling of justice got triggered there. Even though I know that Im poking my nose into someone elses affairs, Id like to do what I can.

Leaving my comrades behind, who are in the middle of gathering the loot after killing the dinosaurs, I chase after Towa and Dawk.

If the white mist is suppressed, you wont need to make any sacrifices, yes? I throw the question at their backs.

Thats

Shuuya-sama, can you suppress the white mist without a sacrifice? Even Shadow-sama couldnt do anything about it

To be honest, I dont know if I can, but Id like to at least try.

I have no idea how to go about itso Ill think about it starting now. If it fails after I do what I can, so be it.

Dawk? Towa turns a confused look at Dawk.

In response, Dawk nods at her with a grim expression. After making sure again that all dinosaurs have been defeated, he looks straight into my eyes. Shuuya-sama, could you please give it a try?

Is that okay, Dawk? The Ceremony of Departure has been performed at Arsayban

Towaas youre well aware, the ceremony of Ishytes Hill is a sacred ritual that has been carried out for a long time to protect our land. However, if theres a possibility to achieve the same without any sacrifices Id like to bet on Shuuya-samas strength. If he fails, we just need to do the ceremony. If not

Listening to Dawk-san, a mix of surprise and happiness appears on Towas face, If not, I will be saved?

She looks my way, clinging to hope.

Im sorry for waking unfounded hope, but I honestly cant tell you how it will turn out.

No, thats more than enough. If theres even the smallest sliver of hope

Indeed. On top of having saved us, youre even challenging the white mist calamity plaguing this landmoreover, all for the sake of people who are strangers to you

Towa and Dawk start to sob.

Please dont cry. Im heading over to the hill, so please wait here.

Very well.

Okay

I whistle, Helme, Rollo, leave the magic stone collection to Catiza and the Burning Knights, and come here!

Hearing my voice and whistling, Rollodeen, who has been in the middle of collecting the magic stones, perks up her ears, and after throwing the magic stones against the Burning Knights, blowing them away in the process, rushes over to me. Helme also heads this way, flying into the sky and deploying an ice ring around herself.

Nn, nyao.

I jump on Rollodeens back.

Your Excellency, Ill come into your eye right away, says Helme, liquefying in the air, and spiraling into my left eye.

Oohh.

Oh mythis is possibly

Yes

Towa and Dawk are astonished, witnessing the spectacle of Helme entering my eye. After flashing a smile at Towa, I lightly tap the flanks of Rollodeen with my feet.

Rollodeen immediately starts to run towards Ishytes Hill. Without heading directly for the white mist, Ill first talk with gem-san enshrined in the hill.

Jumping off Rollodeen, I place my palm on the rough white stone placed between the sculptures. At once my mana is sucked into the stone, and the hole opens up in the same way as before.

Rollo, lets go.

Nya.

As soon as Rollo gets on my shoulder, I quickly rush into the hole. While running down the tunnel, I extend {Chain} downwards. After the chains tip buries itself into the underground space, I reel it in, carrying my body downwards in one go. Shortly thereafter, I land at the bottom, propping myself up with one knee on the ground.

The chains tip, which had been stabbed into the ground, settles into its Factor Mark with movements reminiscent of a snakes winding. Rollo hasnt fallen off my shoulder as she had twined a tentacle around my neck.

I stand up, and dash towards the white gem floating above the magic crest in the middle.

What, thee have come back again!? Just give it a rest with breaking through the barrier over and over again, will thee!?

Sorry. But, theres something Im curious about, and thus I have a question for you, gem-san, who says that hes suppressing the white mist.

Im not a gem! I have a wonderful name, granted to me by my supreme creator.

Creator?

Excuse my ignorance, but who do you mean with creator?

Its the Goddess of Chaos Libas Arua-sama. This is the proof noted down in the Apocrypha. With those words, gem-san expands his own body, turning into a round magic crest shape in front of me.

I feel like its partly similar to ancient magic, but its a hexagram magic crest with small cuneiform writings at the circles edge which Ive never seen before.

That means your name, as one created by Libas Arua-sama, is Ishytes-sama?

Hoh, arent thee rather quick on the uptake? Correct. Im Ishytes the Clay. Im also the golem who defeated one of Dezras Gods during the Great Illusionary Magic War in the past.

The golem, Ishytes the Clay, transforms his shape away from being a magic crest. Returning to being a white gem, he creates a mouth shaped like a sausage snapped in two. And then he further transforms it into something like a brash mouth, exceeding a Frankfurter.

A golem with an awareness is a surprise, Helme comments while visualizing her surprise with a pose shes never shown before.

Not badunconsciouslyIm drawn to her posing

Very well. Why do you have the duty to suppress the white mist in this place, Ishytes-sama?

Its a story from long agoit begins with me being defeated during the Great Illusionary Magic War where Libas Arua-sama had fought to save a corrupted visitor. Once I, who was her familiar, noticed that I had been hurled to another dimension, I found myself within this barrier. And then I sucked the white mist drifting around me into my bodyI naturally changed into my current color, and became unable to move. A while after that, three-eyed visitors started to beg me to save their land, offering their young to me. Each time I absorbed their lives, I gained the power to absorb the white mist. This process has been repeating itself for an eternity now. Its become my duty.

So he originally served a goddess and got destroyed during battle on another world?

I see. Thats an extraordinary story. Either way, Im planning to physically suppress that white mist, but wheres the source of the white mist?

I only know that its on the left side from here. I only suck up the white mist coming close to me.

Okay, so its no good unless I face it directly, huh? Lastly

Ishytes-sama, why did you hate me trying to touch you?

Its because I dont want anyone besides Arua-sama to touch me!

Hee.

Thats why, dont come any closer, and dont touch me, got it?

Hmm, I wonder, what I should do? After focusing on revealing a grin, I approach Ishytes by several steps.

I-I got it, visitor. Im sorry. I shall teach thee everything I know from having sucked up the mist.

Ishytes is clearly agitated. I really wanna touch him, but Ill endure. For a change, Rollo also stays obedient, not extending her tentacles. Since shes completely fixated on that Frankfurter mouth, she might be thinking, I want to eat that nya, though.

So, what do you know, Ishytes-sama?

The white mist pollutes the land, but its originally strong mana.

Thats all?

Yes

I wonder whether itd be smart to ask him to talk once more about the white mist while threatening him with a touch, butfor the time being I wrap up the conversation, and head outside the ruin.

Then I join up with Towa and Dawk waiting at the foot of the hill. They have been speaking with Catiza and the Burning Knights who gathered all the magic stones and materials. While telling them what I heard from Ishytes, I retrieve the large magic stones, silver horns, nails, bones, and meat. Then I let the Burning Knights, who are riddled with injuries, return to the spirit world, and have Catiza return to being a finger.

Well then, Im off.

Shuuya-sama! Good luck!

I nod at Towa. Steering Rollodeen, I have her head to the white mist located on the hills left side. Now that I have a beauty cheering me on, I must do my utmost.

I draw close to the white mist in front of me. Just for cautions sake, Ive made Rollodeen stop.

Rollo, I dont know whats awaiting me, so you stay here and wait.

Nyaa.

Its cute how she dents in her ears.

Dont look so disappointed I kiss Rollos angular head.

She answers with a loud purring.

Its just a precautionary measure. Ill be right back. I immediately turn around, facing the white mist.

I guess Ill first try putting my arm into that mist. Lets try to get a read on how it feels.

NothingI just feel mana from the mist. Theres also no sign of me having become unable to move. Next I test thrusting my face into the mist, and breathing it in.

Its a sensation like absorbing mana. Theres no particular side effect. It might be because I have a Lucivals body, but

I try absorbing the mist, resulting in the mist around me thinning a bit. No side effects from increasing the mana either.

I enter with my whole body covered in the blood chain armor, but it seems to be alright as well. Thus I put on the Gatrance Form, and step inside the mist.

I dont really feel like choking or anything, but I feel like the air has become heavier. My visual field is pure white When I try looking with Magic Observation, I fully understand that the mist is stuffed with mana. I can also clearly see the manas streaming direction. If I follow those streams, I should be able to find the source of this mist.

Each time I breathe, I absorb the white mist into my body. It might be a natural mana recovery zone. My body hasnt become immobile like Ishytes. I secure my sight by activating the Kaleidoscope.

I think Rollodeen might be fine as well, butwell, I dont know what Ill find here. It might be better to not let Helme out either. Following the mana streams, I head towards the mists source.

Then I happen upon a hole. Its a crack in the ground. The white mist is vigorously gushing out from there, just as it happens with hot water at the bottom of the ocean. Its not like deuterium or hydrogen sulfide is escaping here. Its just white mist.

Your Excellency, assuming this is the source, how are you going to stop it? Ah, should I try to dive in while absorbing the mist? If its mana, it could be delicious. Looking closelythe hole resembles a butthole, fufu

Butt? Hahaha!

She made me laugh. Come on

Ive considered your option or my sage art for a bit, butIll try out something else
