Chapter 250 – S-Rank Conquest

TL: Vacation’s over, back to daily uploads!

There were several Killer Turtles swimming among the rest of the Killer Turtles, who were positioned in a perimeter around Galafegorn. But all of a sudden, those several Killer Turtles rushed out from the group like a detached force.

The other Killer Turtles weren’t that alarmed since they were the same monster species. Those several Killer Turtles rushed out of the crowd towards the abdomen of Galafegorn, who was floating right in front of them.

But at that moment, Galafegorn’s head and limbs suddenly retracted back into its shell, and his shell began to spin violently, which created a huge whirlpool. The several Killer Turtles were sucked into the whirlpool, rendering them powerless. Of course, that was true of the other Killer Turtles surrounding Galafegorn.

Given the timing of this move, Galafegorn must have noticed their presence as they were approaching underwater. That was why he was now taking a defensive posture.

In other words, Galafegorn saw through the fact that the Sols were released as decoys, and the real targets would come from underwater.

At that moment, the several Killer Turtles’ forms instantly changed back to puppets. Without a doubt, they were originally [Copy Dolls].

The Killer Turtles approaching Galafegorn weren’t Bouchi and the others transformed into Killer Turtles. This showed that Galafegorn’s had actually been mistaken.

Then where in the world were Bouchi and the others?

Galafegorn stopped spinning, and when he did, he immediately came face to face with a startling sight.

He saw a monster in front of him that looked exactly like himself. Galafegorn glared at it as if he was looking into a mirror.

As expected, Galafegorn couldn’t hide his surprise and remained motionless for a moment. It seemed that he was watching and waiting to see what would happen in this situation.

But he couldn’t forget that the Sols were in the air, looking for an opening to attack.

At that moment, puffs of white smoke went off, surrounding the remaining Sols. When the smoke cleared a bit, they had all transformed into Shikis.

““““<Exploding Shuriken>!””””

It was the appearance of Shiki’s signature move, which unleashed shurikens that exploded upon contact. All of the exploding shurikens shot towards Galafegorn.

Galafegorn couldn’t really take his attention off of his other self. But if he didn’t, he could only receive Shiki’s attacks.

Galafegorn braced himself for the impact, but for some reason, the shurikens didn’t stick into his body and instead exploded after colliding with the sea and nearby icebergs.

It was hard for him to believe that he had missed such a big target. It had to mean that from the very beginning, Shiki’s goal wasn’t Galafegorn.

Once again, Galafegorn was puzzled.

Galafegorn had no idea what his opponent was trying to do. It should have been their chance to attack. It could have been their first effective strike, even if it wouldn’t do much damage.

On top of that, the other Galafegorn wasn’t doing anything. It was just staring. That, too, was enough to shake Galafegorn’s spirit.

The Shikis who attacked him all scattered and fled. That decision also made no sense.

But at that moment, Galafegorn finally realized.

He felt that someone or something was coming directly downwards from high up in the sky.

Plummeting down like a meteor through the clouds—was none other than Kaza.

Kaza’s six arms were each holding a sword. Then, as he glided through the air, he took a sword stance.

“―<Six Katana Style・Kirin>.” (Kaza)

At that instant, Kaza’s body began to overflow with purple lightning. It extended outwards with an ear-piercing crackling and gradually took the shape of a legendary Kirin.

Like a majestic flying horse descending from the heavens, the kirin descended on Galafegorn.

Perceiving the aura of the emanating from the kirin which the exploding shurikens from earlier couldn’t compare to, Galafegorn tried to retaliate by sending out a <Vitality Light Beam>, but…

“GRRRAAAAAAH!!”

The other Galafegorn unleashed a tremendous roar.

Naturally, Galafegorn’s attention was drawn back to the other Galafegorn, which it considered to be the most formidable foe of all.

If the other Galafegorn was really an S-Rank monster, he had to be far more wary of it than Kaza, who was in the skies above.

Shiki’s attacks from earlier were still in Galafegorn’s mind. He couldn’t help but have the thought that maybe Kaza’s attack also wouldn’t reach him.

Things were looking optimistic for Galafegorn. Kaza’s attack probably wouldn’t hit, and even if it did, it was just an A-Rank attack. There was nothing for him to worry about.

Kaza easily reached Galafegorn without being obstructed whatsoever. No, it was the lightning kirin that reached first, crashing into the top of the <Ice Turtleshell Cage>.

At that moment, a terrifying lightning strike lit up the surroundings, spreading crackles of lightning even into the sea. The Killer Turtles began to float to the surface of the water, electrocuted by the blast.

However, Galafegorn himself wasn’t fazed in the slightest, showing a gloating expression on his face. He must have thought that it was no big deal.

But things started to take an unexpected turn for Galafegorn.

The <Ice Turtleshell Cage>, which was supposed to be unaffected by the attack, began to crack, much to Galafegorn’s surprise.

Galafegorn was astonished to see this sight. But he couldn’t leave things like this, so he started to send a counterattack towards Kaza.

Seeing the <Ice Turtleshell Cage> starting to shine brightly, Kaza immediately stopped his offensive and fled into the sea.

Since the Killer Turtles had all already fainted, he wouldn’t be attacked in the sea.

The disappearance of a dangerous foe made Galafegorn let out a breath of relief.

But right at that moment—something broke out of the top of the <Ice Turtleshell Cage> and flew out.

It was none other than Oremia, clad in a plumage of jade feathers. On his back were the figures of Bouchi Hiro and Sol.
