Chapter 85
Monster Musume chapter 85: Appearing in a pinch
<Rin´s POV>
Several magic sources are felt from the river, which are probably devil beasts who are aiming for Tsuchio . Shadow-san can't take her hands away because of Tsuchio's treatment, therefore I have to stop them here . What kind of monsters inhabit here? . . . Because the river is so deep, could they be aquatic beasts?
The owners of the magical power came out of the river . Are those mud dolls? The mud of the riverbed became a golem because gravel was mixed in some places . The influence of that big golem seems to extend to such a place, too .
『Golems are really troublesome . Is it still better than mud?』Rin
My hooves are wrapped by wind . Normally, I can fly in the sky with it, but it can also be used for attacking . I know the location of the nucleus, so I can beat them by kicking .
『Shadow-san, for the time being you just need to do first aid! Because the opponents are golems, it will be a hard fight . This number will be okay, but if they increase too much it will be tough!』Rin
I run through the sky and approach the golems who are coming closer to Tsuchio . The golems are walking along the river and heading towards Tsuchio who can't see them . I can see them now from head to chest and the nucleus is around their stomachs . If the nucleus is destroyed, it won't be a problem . Certainly, I can't defeat or knock them down .
Rushing through the air, I crush the golems heads . It feels like crushing a fruit . The mud scatters in the river, but a new head is rebuilt from the inside of the body . It will be hard this time… they are pretty fast and I have to break the nucleus in order to beat them quickly .
If I do so, the golems won't move anymore . For now, I can also stop searching for magical powers . So far, no other golems have come . . . .
Every time I kick them away one by one, they still come towards Tsuchio . They gradually approach the shore where Tsuchio sleeps . The place of the nucleus came out to a position where I could attack . It's indeed hard to fight these golems as I try to attack their stomachs, they resist by waving their arms and blocking it .
Suddenly, there are multiple magical powers appearing on the other side of the river . Damn, did additional golems approach? Although it is few compared to the mountain top, they still came in large quantities . I won’t have time unless I beat all of them quickly!
A little bit away from the new approaching golems, I used a bit more strength and thrust into the mud golems in front of me . Thunder magic doesn't work and I can’t use too much power to obliterate these golems . I´m able to defeat them at once if they all line up at one spot . I don't have time to rest, I have to defeat more golems .
『Shadow-san, can we move Tsuchio!?』Rin
While kicking the golems in front of me away, I ask Shadow-san this question . . . . Will it still take a while? We will be in trouble if we don't manage to do anything and their number increases .
『When you can use quick magic, we can wipe out these guys . . . if you can use other magic right now . Or you can use magic that is more powerful, that ignores the compatibility . 』Rin
Thanks to thunderclap, I was able to grow stronger than ordinary demons . I narrowed down the options of evolution and focused on one thing . I specialized in attack . Because of that, I can only use thunder magic . It ended up backfiring in such a place . . . .
『 . . . It can't be helped even if I complain . If it is Tsuchio, he would do something as long as he could do what he could . 』Rin
What I can do now is to run around and kick the golems to keep them away from Tsuchio . If it is this number, I will run and run and kick them away each time . . . . Good, I will do my best!
I continued running around the river and blowing the mud golems away . The number of golems emerging from the river increased and the shore is already surrounded . The more the number increases, the more I can defeat by rushing . . . but my magical power is considerably low now . It is already over ten minutes and the first aid isn’t finished yet!?
『Do it quickly! The number is increasing and I can't handle them anymore!』Rin
Shadow-san isn't specialized in healing magic originally . In addition, she is a ghost type monster, so she isn't using healing magic in the first place . I guess I shouldn't hurry her… but if she doesn't end it quickly, I won't be able to stop the enemies anymore!
Blasting away the golems that were near the shore, I stand on the river side in front of Tsuchio . The next golems were supposed to attack, but they all stopped moving . What, have they given up, after realizing that they can't beat me? I felt uneasy, because it takes a while .
『Eh, the first aid has ended!? I got it, now that the golems aren't even coming, let's go back to the top quickly!』Rin
Just before turning around to Tsuchio, the golems started to move again . In front of the river where I am, the golems gathered together . What does that mean? Would they disturb us while trying to escape?
I don't know what the golems are going to do, but we need to move Tsuchio away from the river . I ask Shadow-san to defend him, while I observe the appearance of these golems . It's weird… their magic is growing? What's in the river… the answer was immediately shown to me . A mountain of mud came out of the river, and the golems jump at it . Is this a union!? They're going to become a powerful monster, because they cannot win even if they attack by numbers!?
And in front of me, a huge mud golem appeared that was twice the size of Shadow and me . It surely isn't a human type like the rock golem and it sticks its arms to the mud mountain . The movement is dull, but the huge nucleus is inside the mud . Can I pass through with a dash? . . . Not good, I can't judge it . I don't know what kind of action it will take, but I can't make a quick dash now . With this size, it will be better to attack from the sky . If this huge mud golem attack Tsuchio by any chance, then Shadow-san may not be able to treat him again . Even if Tsuchio isn't killed, it is severe because he is currently weakened .
『Shadow-san, please protect Tsuchio properly . You may also attack by long range, however be careful!』Rin
If I knew such a thing would happen, I would have brought them up quickly! I managed to grasp the nucleus’s location and take action to penetrate this golem . . . . Worst would be if it breaks through and attacks Tsuchio . This huge enemy is made of those mud golems, that's why my dash can't be stopped by its mud body!
<Ruu´s POV>
“Haa!”
I avoided its arms and find a gap to hit its body . Even if it's the scales of a dragon and no matter how strong it is, a light strike doesn't work at all . There is a trace of my fist left on the body of the huge golem . If I perform strengthening this much, will that metal body deform? If this is the case, it may be possible to slash it with my claws .
While I was under attack, Lime cut a way with her strained nail . The nail has firmly hurt the golem's body and is raising a tinged white smoke . Lime’s dissolving solution, is it possible to melt this metal . . . that's amazing . I wonder if my scales can bear it .
It's almost three minutes since we started fighting this huge golem that took off the rocks from its body . This interaction has been done many times already and the golem has many wounds . I'm being attacked by the golem right now, so that Lime can cut with her nails at any chance . This golem, although the threat has increased as its movements became quicker, its attacks are monotonous and can be avoided easily . If we are serious, we can hurt the whole metallic body properly . However, it seems that it will take time to do that after all . Even saying that it can be hurt, it isn't very deep so far . I wonder why such a devil beast came out at such a time .
“It's about three minutes now, aren't you ready, Nichrome?" Ruu
“You said you would have finished at that time . " Lime
“I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, all preparations have been completed . " Nichrome
Nichrome´s arm that’s preparation finished had changed from the previous glove . Sure, it's a weapon that fires a metal ball and is called a gun . This one is like a square box attached to a slender metal cylinder that has been used up to now . It seems to have a hole in everything except the side that sticks to the cylinder . It's like a string stretched out of the gun and her skin stuck in it . I wonder if it doesn't hurt .
“Sniper rifle for large monsters, retrofit complete . Checking the connection with the sensor and starting detection of the nucleus . " Nichrome
“Do you know where the nucleus is already?" Ruu
“There is still no reaction, so it seems necessary to cut it a bit more deeply . " Nichrome
“It seems that it is better to cut it with my nail deeply . " Lime
“I will help with my weapon . " Nichrome
The left arm is a gun, while her right arm is a human arm . Nichrome points the gun to the golem and a thunder-like roar is heard the next moment . Too loud, my ears are going crazy .
Apparently the bullet has hit the golem's chest and snuck inside its body . It has a terrible penetrating force . . . from scratching it so far . I wonder what it will look like if that hits people . I can't imagine it .
“Confirmation of hit . . . it is more powerful than I thought . Continue shooting . " Nichrome
“Hey, Nichrome! That gun is loud! My ears will collapse!” Ruu
“Everyone, you got accustomed to the sound of my heavy machine gun . You should get used to the sound of this sniper rifle, too . Now is not the case to say such a thing, because we will head for master's rescue . Please get used to it . " Nichrome
A metal cylinder is discharged from the side of the gun and Nichrome shoots again . This time it hit the face and the golem was taken aback . To be sure, as Nichrome says, we only have to think about defeating this guy . It's easier with this gun that continuously rings as I hear it now . Well, when I thought so, it came to me .
“Okay, shall we do it? Lime, we'll set it at the same time . Let's cut it here first, before cutting it from there at once . " Ruu
“I understand . Since we attack the torso, Nichrome will aim at its head . Especially the eyes, if you can crush them, we can fight quite advantageously . " Lime
“All right, I will concentrate on its eyes . " Nichrome
All of us have their own weapons . Now is the moment of truth!
<Rin´s POV>
I run around the sky and dodge the swinging arms of this large mud golem . The movement isn't that fast, but sometimes the thrown mud is troublesome . If it hits, it is heavy and painful unexpectedly and gets stuck on the body which makes it hard to move around . I shook it off somehow, which is a good deal . It's like throwing your own body, so it's unfortunate that I can't do anything about it .
Next, I aim in the air at the golem and immediately made a dash . A hole opened in the golem's body from me passing through with the aim of destroying its nucleus . I didn't hit again . . . and the location of nucleus has changed again . I thought I was mistaken, but it isn't so . This golem can move its nucleus!
What to do, if the nucleus moves all the time, it makes it difficult to beat this golem alone . I have to get up and try it again . Although it is useless no matter how much I dash, if the golem moves its nucleus during that time .
『My magical power is almost empty . . . therefore is it alright to bet on one big shot? If it didn't work, it will be my end . Will I be able to eat Tsuchio? It is too little magic for me to make some time for Ruu and the others to come . Ah, it's almost empty!』Rin
Many ideas are coming and disappearing . What am I going to do . . . scorch my remaining magic or is it enough to come up with a breakthrough plan . Shadow-san used tremendous magical power for Tsuchio´s treatment, therefore she can't use enough magic to defeat this guy . I have to manage somehow . . . and I did not think I had to think over it .
『Uguu!?』Rin
The golem approached and grabbed my head, before thrusting me into its body . The body of the golem is mud, so naturally I can't breathe and got buried alive . I ridiculously rampage by kicking and by casting magic, but the golem won't let go of me . Because of the rampage, my breath became rough because there was no air from all the mud .
I can't breathe and my consciousness gradually faints away . My body was out of power and I kneeled on the spot . It is painful . . . not good, I have no strength anymore . Am I dying here?
『No!! I don't want to die yet! Release me! Please release me!』Rin
No matter however I rampage or how much I hurt its body, the golem won't let go of me . On the contrary, I have been pushed further into its body .
『No . . . No way . Help me . . . help me, Tsuchio!』Rin
As soon as I shouted, a great magical power appeared from behind suddenly and as soon as I noticed, I was thrown to the ground . The golem had two large holes in its body now . It has a tough body, but there is no place to move the nucleus now . I don't know what happened, but a great opportunity to beat this guy appeared . Well done… I will kill this fellow now!
Concentrating my remaining magical power on my horn and legs, I dash through the golem at once . And I feel something sticking to my horn . At the same time as I stopped, the body of the golem crumbled down .
I can’t confirm it, because I fell down on the spot . I was out of magical power this time and started to lose my consciousness . There seems to be no monsters around, therefore I may as well go to sleep now . . . .
I want to confirm who helped me before fainting . Stimulating my consciousness that seems to sink now, I looks at the owner of the magical power . Well, that's where I surely evacuated Tsuchio . . . . However, Tsuchio doesn't have so much magical power .
『Eh, no way!? Tsuchio . . . no, it is different, you look alike but you aren't Tsuchio! Who, who are you!』Rin
I couldn't keep my consciousness anymore . Damn… who is that, a woman who looks like Tsuchio!
