Chapter 146: Selena's Great Escape
Selenas POV
No way, no way, no way! She can do that!?
Big sis is chasing me on a tiny dragon with a really scary face. Shes so scary, youd mistake her for some new type of monster.
Just before she was still struggling against the ropers I made too much of, but after the tiny dragons big sis called came, the ropers were cleaned up quickly. There shouldve been nearly a hundred of them, but well, I suppose monsters loaded with a lot of magic power are nothing more than a delicious treat for apex magic beasts like dragons.
Kyaa~ At this rate, Im gonna get caught~ Youre damn obvious! Im going to have you explain all of this! Kyahaha! Your tones slipping~! Nya~go!
I summoned one of my pets from [Dream Storage]. This fly-cat Nya~go is a cat that has hidden wings. Its a monster that can carry about ten times its own weight, and with its beautiful fur and three tails, its super cute.
Im counting on you! She can even fly!?
Since I cant outrun a dragon on the ground, Im escaping to the sky. Tiny dragons are earth dragons, so they should be bad with flying. If its just big sis, then I can still manage. Or so I thought
Eh~! Thats unfair! So unfair! Cheater!1 Its not!
Big sis made footholds midair with the magic Wall, and continued chasing after me on the tiny dragon. Her being able to create Walls sturdy enough to support a dragons weight was surprising enough, but for the dragon to continue running with full trust on big sis footholds, their bond is amazing.
Nya~go! Go faster! Bnya~ Come, Kuuchan!
After having Nya~go speed up, I then summoned another monster from [Dream Storage]. This tiny spider, a monster called little poison, is a spider about as small as my fingertip. This spider has a venom lethal enough to kill within 24 hours after being bitten by it.
But this poison isnt what makes Kuuchan amazing! Despite having such a small body, Kuuchan can make super big spider webs. Kuuchans sticky webs are sturdy enough that once they stick, they cant be removed unless theyre burned or washed off with water.
Go~! Kuuchan! Shuu!
On my command, Kuuchan began continuously spitting out lots of webs towards big sis. These webs quickly spread out, some newer ones overtaking the older ones, some others going up and falling down, all being fired by Kuuchan with consideration. With this, even big sis wont be able to dodge them! Is what I thought, but
Ill shoot down the ones thatll hit! Burn! GuGya!
Big sis melted the webs with her magic and even the ones she missed were avoided by the tiny dragon. Grr, those two work too well together! Maybe I should have practiced a little bit of magic too.
Unlike big sis, I can barely use magic. My [One that Produces] is super bad at creating things with no tangible form. Repeatedly casting those kinds of vague and fuzzy things is practically impossible. Still, Im relatively good at casting magecraft with proper tangibility. But since being in a different class with Jason would defeat the purpose of coming here to the academy, I didnt put effort into the exams.
Bind!! Uwaa-!!
While I was in my thoughts, big sis got closer to me than I expected. Since Bind pursues the target until it hits, I sacrificed a growleu to avoid it.2 Theyre already this close to me. I wanted to go a bit further away before doing this, but things arent going my way
Still, I guess here should be good enough. Have you finally given up? You seem to know a lot, so Im going to have you answer me.
After exiting the forest, theres a grass-covered plain. It has good visibility and both monsters and magic beasts dont come here much, but the suns rays feel good here. On this plain, I finally landed on the ground and faced big sis.
Hmm, I wouldnt really mind doing that though. Were done with playing tag. This time~, How about freeze tag then? What are you? Haah!?
Shes surprised, super surprised. After all, the reason I chose this open place is because if I dont, I wouldnt be able to get all of them out. With 1000 of them, even goblins look like a spectacle! I made a lot of them to play with big sis with, but since I couldnt find her at all, I ended up hoarding a lot.
Now go~! Capture big sis!
With my command, the goblins all rush to big sis. Or rather, they should have.
Guga? Gogo! Gigiga, gugo! Gagi, gigo! Gah! Gah! Gah!
Just as I saw several goblins talking to each other, several dozens of them suddenly evolved on their own. The goblin mages and warriors are still fine. A goblin lord appearing is also still within my expectations, but why the heck did a goblin emperor appear!
Huh? Why are they heading here? Wai- Listen to my command! Gu-gah!
Despite being created by me, half of the goblins ignored my command and headed towards me. The other half is still heading towards big sis, but huh? Why? As I was wracking my head about that, a certain word came to my mind. Stampede. The calamity when monsters overflow from dungeons. I always thought that this is none of my concern, but when monsters born from dungeons want to leave, its the same as them opposing the dungeon itself.
Even if I know the cause now, theres nothing I can do. After all, I cant win against these goblins with my strength alone and my other pets cant defeat the goblin emperor as well. And bringing forth a much stronger monster, isnt something that I can finish in time.
So this is what despair feels like, a strangely calm part of me thought so. Weirdly, the nails of the goblin nearing me were slow, almost like it stopped. I guess time really does look slow when youre near death. I was being a bit dramatic, but the goblins nails showed no signs of moving any further. On the contrary, even the air around stopped as if it was frozen solid.
Haahaa Dont summon anything anymore This is already too much Ha haha Big sis, unbelievable
The thousand goblins I kept were all turned into statues of ice.
- Lyly: Kek, says the one unfairly escaping to the sky
- Lyly: Rip growleu. Hes not dead though, I think
