The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 257: You Can't Play Without Low Health

If the goal of the first stage is to pull the beluga whale down from the sky, then after cutting off the left fin, digging out the left eye, and tearing off the dorsal fin, the results can be said to be gratifying.

However, before Natsuki Subaru could shout that there had never been such a wonderful start, he watched Zun Zun being swallowed by the white whale.

Although various questions arise, the most unignorable fact is happening before our eyes.

"is that a lie……"

A pleading moan squeezed out of his throat.

In front of him was the white whale that swallowed Zun Zun, and on the other side was the white whale that pounced on Wilhelm and the others. In front of him, behind him, and even in the sky he looked up at, there was a huge figure spreading mist.

The three white whales laughed with countless mouths, provoking the despair of the crowd.

It's as if they are echoing each other.

The cries of the white whales echoed in the streets of the plains, and from the countless distorted mouths of the aliens, a sound like scratching glass continued to be emitted.

One was enough to make one desperate, and now the number had increased to three, simply mocking everyone who tried to resist.

----

Zun Zun didn’t know what was happening outside, and he had no time to care about other people now.

He knew that the white whale had split into three.

But the white whale swam silently behind him without any warning.

It must be because they relied too much on the Red Demon Clan's ability to be sensitive to magic. After the White Whale spread the mist transformed by magic, Zun Zun was no different from a "blind man", so it was impossible to find its location.

Once swallowed by a white whale, even a fool would know what would happen. Just think about what happened to the previous Sword Master. If you don’t get out quickly, you will be digested until nothing is left of you.

He didn't think he could withstand the digestive juices of the huge whale, so he forced himself to support his body and fight for living space between the whale's broad tongue and upper jaw.

I have never hated myself for being so short.

Fortunately, the beluga's tongue is not as flexible as that of humans, even if it moves up and down and swallows back and forth, Zun Zun can still keep his body steady and will not slip into his esophagus due to the huge amount of mucus under his feet.

How to get out?
In fact, since being swallowed, Zun Zun has been constantly using magic to destroy the white whale's body.

Judging from the fixed routines in the comics, monsters with strong bodies are generally quite soft on the inside, so being swallowed should be a good chance.

But the white whale is not ordinary. The gluttonous witch who created it seemed to have guessed that someone would use this method, so she strengthened the white whale's defense capabilities.

The mucus attached to the inside of the white whale does not have strong acid to digest it, but it has a strong dissolving ability - all magic is restored to its original magic power, which is similar to the effect of the anti-magic bullet.

…Forget it, just explode.

Relying on the powerful destructive power and impact force, forcibly pry open the beluga whale's mouth and then escape.

Zun Zun was somewhat reluctant.

In fact, he wanted to save this trick for the white whale's original body, but now it seems that he can only use it on the clone. In order to ensure a smooth escape, this time he used the magic of cherry-

boom!
Before Zun Zun could exert any strength, the white whale was suddenly hit hard. The unstable giant whale caused Zun Zun to stagger.

"Hey, hey, hey, what happened!?"

……

...

"Hey, hey, what happened?"

Natsuki Subaru swallowed and looked in dumbfounded at the gray-haired boy who was fighting a white whale alone.

His head was covered in blood, and his white knight's uniform was stained with dust and blood. Although he looked very embarrassed, the aura he exuded was not to be underestimated.

"Is he really the cowardly Otto?"

“…If there is nothing wrong with Rem’s eyes, then yes, it is Otto-sama!”

Rem answered seriously.

No, no, no, it's impossible no matter how you think about it!

He was just knocked down by the white whale with one move, but he turned around and got up and exploded.

You can't play without remaining health, right?
The timid man who was extremely afraid of the white whale now had his hair standing upside down, his whole body emitting dark yellow magic power visible to the naked eye, and he was surrounded by a huge clod of earth that was several times larger than the icicle that Rem had just released - almost as large as the white whale's head.

With a wave of his right hand, a huge, extremely solid block of earth smashed towards the white whale, knocking the giant fish dizzy. But before it could even groan in pain, the block of earth fell again, knocking the white whale down several levels. The aesthetics of violence was performed in front of everyone.

He looks like a god of war!
Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but yell, "Seriously, who is he? He's possessed by a ghost, right?"

"…Subaru, Master Otto is not a demon."

"I just said that!"

The man who was complained by Rem couldn't help but complain back.

No wonder Otto is favored by Zun Zun. Natsuki Subaru suddenly realized that this guy is a character who accumulates anger value in the fighting game. Normally, no one can stop him, and once he explodes, no one can stop him.

This guy is as fierce as a god of war!
"But he has too many restrictions!" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but complain again, and soon his mouth curled up, "But thanks to Otto, it's easier for us to move! Rem, let's go!"

"Yes!"

This time it was Subaru Natsuki who pulled the reins, completely forcing the situation, but if he wanted Rem to output as much as possible, he had no choice but to do so.

Fortunately, the earth dragon he personally selected, Patrash, was very agile. Even though Natsuki Subaru's skills were poor, it could perfectly grasp its master's intentions and strength, running and dodging quickly while being careful not to let the immature rider fall off.

Natsuki Subaru seemed to sense its thoughts.

"Patrasius, let's go!"

Shouting loudly and pulling the reins, the earth dragons responded by leaning forward and rushing towards the powerful white whale without fear, moving around the side of the white whale.

Rem seized the opportunity and kicked the white whale in the side of the face with a force as powerful as a cannonball.

The huge face tilted to the side, and then was hit by the iron ball. The spinning iron ball pierced the white whale's cheek, broke its molars, and the blood and saliva stained the grass into dark red. Yellow body fluid flowed from the wound, and the white whale screamed. Its body finally fell to the ground, and like a fish on the shore, it struggled endlessly.

The ground was hollowed out and soil was scattered violently.

The tail waving wildly cut through the ground, sliced through the wind, and suddenly approached Natsuki Subaru's side - just as it was about to hit, a kitten came in.

"I haven't forgotten the order from the young lady to protect that person! Spit it out for me now!"

"Mimi!"

In Natsuki Subaru's sight, Mimi waved the magic wand in her hand to deploy magical protection, the yellow light rebounded the attack, and the earth dragon took advantage of this opportunity to escape in one breath.

Natsuki Subaru panted and looked back at the kitten who saved him at the critical moment.

"I'm saved! Thank you, Mimi. I almost died just now!"

"I saved my brother just by chance."

"Am I just a by-product?!"

"But my brother tried very hard today, so I subconsciously wanted to save him. Also, there will be no winner today~"

Mimi laughed at Natsuki Subaru.

When facing the three white whales, the mercenaries and the expeditionary force all lost the courage to continue fighting. It was Subaru Natsuki who took the initiative to attack and aroused everyone's emotions. Although the first person to attack and catch his attention was Otto who was still casting magic on the other side.

"By the way, how is Zun Zun?"

"Remembering it means he wasn't destroyed by the fog."

"But we can't keep dawdling like this. It would be bad if something unexpected happened."

After exchanging opinions, the master and servant decided that the main task before defeating the white whale was to rescue Zun Zun. Then they rode the earth dragon towards the gray-haired boy on the other side.

"——Otto!"

With the help of Rem, Natsuki Subaru forced most of his body out, and while riding on the galloping earth dragon, he stretched out a hand towards Otto.

Subconsciously, Otto grabbed the hand.

"Come up here!"

Natsuki Subaru is a completely ordinary person, but if you have to find some advantages in him, apart from his fierce eyes, it would be his 70 kilograms of one-handed grip strength.

He clenched his teeth and his face turned red.

If I had known earlier, I would not have tried to be cool and let Rem pull Otto up. At this moment, Natsuki Subaru regretted it.

But men always have things to do.

She squeezed her thighs together and exerted great strength, barely bringing Otto up, then threw him into the air.

"Okay! Mimi, I'll leave it to you from now on!"

"Leave it to Oppa!"

The skinny kitten rode its nimble mount and easily caught Otto who was thrown from the sky, then ran along the white whale's tail towards its head.

Natsuki Subaru watched the two people leave.

“…What’s wrong, Subaru?”

"No, I always feel that... in that situation, shouldn't Otto be screaming? Why did he become so silent?"

Unfortunately, his doubts were not answered.

Due to Rem's continuous heavy blows, the White Whale kept fighting back angrily. The two of them rode on the ground dragons to dodge flexibly and escape quickly.

the other side.

Mimi, who was on the back of the white whale, quickly ran past the torn dorsal fin and touched Otto's body with her magic wand.

"Go ahead, brother!"

The voice was tender and soft, but the action was not gentle at all. Otto, who was thrown away, flew directly over the head of the white whale.

Just as he was about to fall, at the last moment, Otto grabbed the white whale's thick lower lip and forced himself to climb up little by little, like a devil crawling out of hell.

He came to the white whale with an expressionless face.

Otto slowly extended his hand.

"El Dona."

The earth attribute magic exploded into spikes and extended outward. If an ordinary person suffered this blow, he would definitely die, but for the white whale, it didn't hurt at all, it just broke a tooth.

but--

"I know I'm weak, my talents are limited, and I can't even use powerful magic normally. But, I have things I can do!"

He suddenly thrust his hand into the white whale's mouth.

"——Ul Dona!"

A thick round pillar condensed in an instant, and the earth attribute magic that should have been restored was forcibly pried open the white whale's mouth by Otto's clever use of the angle difference.

Zun Zun raised his hands and squinted his eyes to welcome the sunlight. The blood-stained Grey Knight came into view, his eyes slightly collapsed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was very strange.

"Yeah, I'm here to save you."

“—Too slow.”

He grasped the hand that was offered to him.
