RPG chapter 89

89 Evil star overrun

『It’s said that the fox has 7 transformations, while the tanuki has 8-tanu』

 .

Tanu-sage said

While staying on top of Selen’s head as usual

 .

『A fox can use 7 transformations-tanu. That dumb fox, who was once a hermit fox, can use all 7 transformations at once at her best-tanu. After living for thousands of years, she was able to use 9 transformations after becoming a tenko-tanu. In other words, from 7 to 9, those two increased tails are that dumb fox’s power as a tenko-tanu』

Does it mean that the 7 stars we fought until now can also be used by hermit fox, which is one rank lower than Tenko?

From now on, she will show the true power of Tenko, the highest rank of Youko!?

 .

『Honestly, I didn’t think you lot could reach this far. Although I was once defeated by a child of man, I haven’t learned enough lesson yet it seems』

 .

The eighth tail, which was already separated from the butt of the beauty fox, started changing into darkness

 .

The characteristic gold color of a fox has changed into a muddy darkness

A viscous liquid like sludge is secreted and trickled down from the tail, and eventually the sludge is pouring out with a force similar to a waterfall’s

 .

The dull black sludge seems to be even darker than ink

 .

『Don’t touch that! It looks bad just from the first glance!!』

『I won’t touch even if you tell me to!』

 .

The place where the black sludge fell became a sludge pool. No, the scale was larger, it was more like a pond of black sludge

 .

『Everytime I do this, the room becomes dirty, it’s quite annoying』

 .

Then it’s fine if you don’t do it!!

 .

Before I knew it, the floating eighth tail has disappeared without a trace

Instead, a pond of black sludge, which has a completely different presence, has appeared. Its surface is bubbling……

 .

A woman crawled out

A woman bigger than all bunshins we have fought so far

 .

『Here it comes!?』

 .

A woman smeared with sludge

Or rather, a monster in the shape of a woman, formed by coagulated sludge

 .

That is the eighth member of Ninetails!

Yomotsushikome, the governor of Ragou, the dark star that erases light!

 .

『Be careful! That giant woman is a lump of darkness that consumes all light! If you touch that mud-like thing, all of your energy will be erased and you will die! Absolutely do not touch it!!』

『How can we be careful in this situation!?』

 .

That’s right

 .

You are out once you touch it. This guy is completely different from other bunshins until now

Moreover, its body is about twice as large as other Ninetails’s until now, and right now it’s approaching to touch us!

 .

『Gyaaaa!? The hand! The hand is cominggggggg!?』

『<Kanatehon Chuushingura>!!』

 .

I released spirit mice in desperation. As soon as they touched the black sludge, their energy were drained and they vanished

My trump card, which I thought to be invincible except against water, is unable to defeat the energy-absorbing power of Ragou

 .

『Hit it using long-distance attacks! We need to push it back!』

『Tsk……, holy beast wisdom ceremony <Ferocious dragon burst>』『Holy beast wisdom ceremony <Ookami>!!』

 .

We unexpectedly have very few ranged attacks

Thanks to that, Yomotsushikome rapidly approaches us. We will be swallowed unless we run now!

 .

We ran with all our might in the corridor of 『Infinite lost hall』

Everyone

We have no choice but to run

Right behind us, the black sludge is approaching like a tsunami!?

 .

『Aaaaaah!? Run faster! Otherwise we all will be swallowed!』

『To think the empire strongest Twelve Apostles have no choice but to run like this……!』 

 .

It can’t be helped

That is one of Hakukyoku Tenko’s trump cards

That is a part of the true power of the great youko who can destroy the world

 .

Seeing that is like experiencing the 『Destroy the world』, right!?

 .

『Jiraaaaaaaa!? Anything!? Do you have anything to deal with thissssssss!?』

『I want to ask too!』

 .

Well, I understand that feeling of wanting to question me, who originally caused this situation

 .

Naturally, Yomotsushikome is a boss in 『Beast Fantasy 3』. If there was no way to defeat it, it would be just a shitty game

 .

However, in 『Beast Fantasy 3』, a huge aid appeared

The protagonist Raiga of 『3』 received the divine protection of event god Rafar, a higher ranking god than beast god Beast and wisdom god Sophia

Thanks to that, he created a barrier to block Yomotsushikome’s black mud, and was able to win

 .

We can’t hope for such divine protection

 .

In that case, there is only one other measure……。

 .

『……There is no other choice but to blow it away with powerful ranged attacks. You are out once you touch it, but physical attacks seems to be able to get through』

 .

Therefore, to defeat it without touching, we must keep the distance and hit it with ranged attacks

 .

『That being said, we already unleashed every ranged attacks we have. Even so, the best we could do is to make it flinch』

 .

That’s also correct

 .

『Damn, if only we have some kind of ranged attacks too……!』 (Gashi)

『We weren’t taught about magic……!』 (Seki)

 .

Gashi and Seki are frustrated while running

But it can’t be helped. Beast aura and magic have bad affinity so I didn’t recommend them

 .

It’s no use wishing for something you don’t have on hand. I need to find a way to turn around with the cards I have at the moment

 .

『……There is one』

 .

There is one ranged attack that is the strongest, most convenient and matches all the condition I said just now

 .

『Really Jira!? As expected of my husband!』

『It’s called <Choujuugiga (Super beast’s fang of justice)>, a technique that uses and unleashes all of the user’s holy beast aura』

『Eh? But that means……!?』

 .

Forte has an anxious look on her face

Don’t worry, it’s not a suicide bombing attack where I use all of my vitality for

 .

『I won’t die even if I exhausted my holy beast aura though. There are still human’s vitality remained after all』

『Is that so, thank goodness……!?』

『But there is a problem, even if I use all of my holy beast aura, I probably won’t be able to defeat that guy. It will cause great damage, but it’s not enough to blow it away in one go』

『No way……!』

 .

It’s sad, but our opponent is someone who can rival gods

With the capacity of a single human, I will lose even if I struggle

 .

『Therefore……, I want to borrow everyone’s power』

 .

Holy beats wisdom ceremony <Choujuugiga>’s greatest feature is that you can also use the holy beast aura of other people too, not just yourself

As long as your friends agree to cooperate, the scale and power will increase infinitely, becoming the strongest strategic weapon

 .

『I understand! Let’s do it!』

 .

Forte agrees right of the bat

 .

『The moment I became your wife, I have decided to entrust everything to you. I will follow whatever you say!!』

『Me too! Onii-chan, me too!』

 .

Selen agreed while hopping like rabbit

 .

『Ah!? I was late!? Jira, I dedicate everything to you! As the first wife!!』(Saraka)

『Who is the first wife!?』 (Forte)

 .

My two wives are quarreling even while escaping

 .

Looking to the other side, my three buddies look to my eyes while nodding strongly

Gashi, Seki and Rei

We already don’t need to talk to understand each other

 .

『So the objective is decided』

 .

Lastly, Grey Ryuuga said

 .

『Jirat, I will buy some time while you are preparing your strongest trump card. It requires some setup, doesn’t it? I will delay the enemy during that time!』

『I leave it to you, first rank』

『Of course!』

 .

We discussed while running away, but as we went through the passage, a spacious space appeared

 .

『Damn, even customizing this……!?』

 .

The place we are running around is 『Infinite lost hall』, a subspace ruled by Hakukyoku Tenko

Our strategy meeting was naturally being overheard. She even prepared an ideal environment for us to unleash our final counterblow

 .

It completely feels like she’s messing around!

 .

『This seems to be a good place to release a powerful attack! Wide and unobstructed!』

『Jira! Quickly prepare your killer technique!!』

 .

However, with this godsend gift, my comrades begin to prepare for the final counterattack

 .

The strongest technique that gathers all holy beast aura from me and my comrades then unleashes it

Taking into account of the enemy’s dreadfulness, everyone understands that this is the final battle, regardless of winner and loser

 .

However, it’s already known who the winner is

No matter what happens, it’s our victory!
