Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

This is a bit strange, since there shouldn't be any reason for rats to hide their young in this sewer.

As Kerry and his companions arrived at the cave entrance, the rats in the distance stopped moving away.

Instead, they started standing still in groups, as if they would swarm at the group if they made any further moves.

This further confirms Kerry's speculation that this should be the entrance to their lair, where there are likely cubs. Due to their animal instincts, if Kerry and the others make any further moves, they will come up and fight for their lives, even if they are afraid.

However, what Kerry and his men wanted was precisely these creatures to fight for their lives.

"laugh!"

Kazuma saw this immediately, just like a hunter touching the doll sister, an undead touching the skull in the Great Tomb, or a blue dream touching the hot dog of Shiro, he stretched out his sinful hand, as if to reach into the hole.

Hehe! I'm going to kill a mouse!

As Kazuma reached out, the other two got ready for battle, waiting for the rats to swarm them.

However, what happened next left the three of them somewhat bewildered.

"Shh! Shh!"

The rats suddenly and urgently scattered in all directions, just like when the group had gone on a killing spree earlier.

Just as the three were wondering what was going on, a familiar roar rang out.

"Roar!"

The three heard the sound; it was neither wolf nor ape, but a deep, hoarse roar.

However, at that time, we had just entered the sewer when the sound came from a distance.

At that moment, the sound seemed to be right next to us.

The three of them suddenly turned around, following the path they had come from. As three beams of light shot out, Kazuma gasped in shock from behind his mask.

"Crash!"

The murky, foul-smelling water flowed like a curtain of water being lifted.

The hard, thick scales appeared somewhat bouncy due to the overly fluffy body shape.

The large, bowl-sized iris membrane was removed, revealing a pair of eyes filled with bloodshot veins that obscured the pupils.

The snout, which should have been slender due to its skeletal structure, resembled an open-mouthed frog due to its excessive size. However, its sharp fangs spoke volumes about its colossal nature.

Crocodile.

Something no one would expect to see under these circumstances.

Moreover, it was an extremely large crocodile. Biologically speaking, crocodiles tend to become wider before they become longer.

And its enormous size has already occupied the entire "river channel".

The scales standing tall on its body were twisting along with its claws and body, and it was moving toward the three of them at a speed that seemed completely out of place for a creature of its size, like a speeding sports car.

"Nani!"

Kazuma was terrified. The three of them didn't care about anything else and raised their weapons to deal with the thing. However, looking at its thick scales, they felt that it was difficult to attack.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Discovery of the Source of Pollution.

Upon seeing such a massive object, Kerry's face twitched.

No, is this Tokyo's sewers or some kind of ecological park?

The zookeepers who risked their lives to raise the crocodiles in their zoos to be gigantic and break the Guinness World Record are crying!

With a physique like yours, why don't you go to a zoo and enjoy world-class treatment, eating delicious food fed by humans every day, having crocodiles of the opposite sex lining up to breed with you, and receiving regular professional medical care? Instead, what are you doing hiding in this sewer?

The enormous creature opened its upper and lower jaws, swaying its massive mouth from side to side as if hunting a flock of water birds, and charged forward, stirring up waves of foul-smelling water, like a dragon crossing a river.

However, there was also a faint urge to prey on the other party, but for some reason, that feeling was like that of rats, not as strong as the crocodile's size, and far less tempting than the Deep One.

This is why the three of them didn't feel anything even when the other party got very close.

Kirito realized he was at the very back, but instead of dodging, he thrust his two curved blades straight into the abyss-like maw.

Kerry and Kazuma hesitated for a moment before drawing their guns, but they also drew their weapons to fight back.

Because the sewers are filled with methane produced by the fermentation of various organisms, it is extremely easy to cause an explosion if dust is poured in or ignited, and the same applies to firearms. Therefore, the three of them tried to use close-range weapons to fight.

"boom!"

Kirito's twin swords were originally aimed directly at the crocodile's constantly shaking maw, which was indeed large enough to fit half a person's body. However, the crocodile was shaking too fast, making it difficult for Kirito to accurately grasp the timing. He had no choice but to directly slash at the crocodile's thick flesh.

However, the feel of it made Kirito feel a tingling sensation in his hand.

As the two swords slashed down with tremendous force, he used a technique of exhausting his strength before striking quickly, but it felt like cutting through thick, dried leather or chopping down a tree with an axe—not like flesh and blood at all.

"Roar!"

The crocodile, in pain, braced itself against the riverbank with its two claws and suddenly swung its head, slamming Kirito's back against the wall. Kirito's twin swords flew from his hands and plunged into the crocodile's upper jaw, following the crocodile's movements.

Wow, that's incredible! Kirito felt like he was wrestling with several massive bulls.

The impact to his spine could have severed his connection with his lower body had it not been for the foam padding in his bass bag to secure the knife.

However, neither Shin nor Kerry are pushovers either.

With a flashlight in one hand and a meat cleaver in the other, Kerry slashed at the crocodile's jaws, which were growing ever more ferocious in pain.

Meanwhile, Kazuma and Kerry took out pepper spray from their pockets and, relying on the fact that all three of them were wearing masks, the effects on them were not too great, and they pressed it directly.

"Wow!"

Kerry deliberately learned from Kirito's lesson and held back his strength, not trying to cut it off with one strike but using full force. Just like boxers and kickboxers who quickly rebound after throwing a punch, causing damage similar to throwing their fists out, he slashed down and quickly withdrew his sword.

However, the effect of this move was far less intense than Kazuma's spray.

All three felt the ground tremble; it was the vibration from the crocodile shaking its massive body after being stimulated by the chili water, causing it to crash into the sidewalks on either side of the sewer.

But that was just the beginning.

Stimulated by the intense spiciness, the giant crocodile, following its animal instincts, frantically tried to twist and dodge, but due to its enormous size, it could not twist in the water and had to raise its limbs and head above the surface.

Only then did the enormous body hidden underwater truly reveal itself to the group.

If the part that was above water already appeared bloated and enormous, then the lower half of this crocodile could only be described as fat. White leather wrapped around its belly, which resembled a water balloon, and occasionally one could see some wounds. As the crocodile moved, rotten flesh surged and thick juices oozed out slightly.

When that thing lay sideways in this narrow space, it was like a mountain of flesh, seemingly impossible to cross.

Kirito, who was right next to the wall, was crushed by this enormous thing and died instantly, but was resurrected and appeared next to Kree amidst flames.

Kerry and Zhen seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the moment when the giant turned its head to thrust their weapons into the belly, which was far less protected than the top.

"howl!!"

The principle of "large size and weak terrain" remains true. After a few stabs from the two men, blood gushed out instantly, along with some oily substances.

The immense pain drove the sewer's master to a ferocious frenzy. It bent its head and submerged it in the filthy water to wash it, then rubbed against the wall, raising its head and trying to turn back to face Kerry and the other man.

The two continued hacking, ignoring the monster and attacking whichever part it was facing.

"Shh!"

"Uh-huh!"

However, once the crocodile broke free from the terrain, it became as fast as a dragon.

It bit down on Kerry, who was still greedily taking the knife, and rolled around in the narrow space.

With a few bites, the giant jaws swallowed Kerry whole.

Upon seeing Kerry, the most powerful and ruthless member of the team, he was swallowed whole by the monster.

Kazuma's expression also twitched.

Raise the pepper spray again to spray.

However, the next moment, the crocodile began to struggle violently, displaying an unparalleled look of pain, and the reptile's roar echoed throughout every corner of the sewer.

All that could be heard was the esophagus of that enormous creature.

"I like Maru-tama! I like Maru-tama?!"

Kazuma could still hear the sounds coming from the crocodile's throat.

At this moment, Kirito slowly recovered and got up.

Then the two saw a gash appear on the giant creature that was rolling and struggling.

With a maniacal laugh, Kerry, wielding a cleaver, pried open the crocodile's esophagus on both sides, causing its still-wriggling and jumping internal organs to spill out uncontrollably, splashing water as they were dragged into the sewer.

Meanwhile, Kerry was grabbing the monster's heart and chopping its amphibious lungs into slices of beef and mutton.

The scene before them gave Kazuma and Kirito a huge shock. The two stared blankly as Kerry jumped ashore from the belly of the crocodile.

Kerry adjusted his crooked mask, shook his hands, and tried to get rid of the sticky, uncomfortable feeling on his body.

A small amount of white light also burst forth from the crocodile's supine body.

Looking at Kerry, who resembled a god of war, Kirito swallowed hard and took a breath.

However, because his mask was broken and the resurrected person couldn't repair his clothes, he inhaled a foul stench that made him cough.

But soon, Kirito realized something was wrong.

"Strange, there's a weird smell, like disinfectant... cough cough cough! Also, there's a lot of that fragrance here."

Kirito coughed as he pointed in a direction.

That was a location in the waterway, and Kerry thought Kirito was referring to a water pipe.

The three of them made some minor adjustments. Since Kirito had already smelled it, the two of them decided without hesitation to sacrifice Kirito's feelings and let him take off his mask and smell it carefully.

Finally, the three arrived at the spot Kirito had pointed out. Kerry examined it with a flashlight and confirmed it was indeed a drain outlet somewhere.

This may be the source of the mutation.

If it were only mice, it could be some kind of special mammalian mutation, but this phenomenon of many organisms becoming strange points to another possibility.

The sewer system is the ripples on the city's back, faithfully reflecting all the polluted water resources within the city.

The problem might not be with the sewer system, but rather with a drainage system.
