CH 384

After the battle in the graveyard, we were moving on. Since then, nothing in particular had interfered and we were making good progress, but that tends to make us relax. Jean, who was piloting Mirai with a big yawn, said something like this.

“Huh…….I guess they’re out of stuff, no sign of interference.”

“We can’t let your guard down. Something big is bound to happen after a quiet period like this.”

Kiyone calmly commented on Jean’s distracted words.

“I’m no longer surprised by anything that comes my way. I want to bring my father back to life as soon as possible, save the girl, and then get the hell out of here.”

The girl inside the four-armed magicraft is lying dormant in a med-pod. I want to save her somehow, too.

Feri was checking on dad and that girl’s condition on the remote terminal of the medical pod while also glancing at the map. Such a busy genius scientist informed me this while we were descending into the big bottom hole.

“We’ve finally reached the lowest level. There should be an advanced medical facility ahead of us.”

The lowest level was a rather large space. In the center of it, there was a large dome-shaped structure. Perhaps that was where the facility they were aiming for was located.

However, there was something familiar in that space on the lowest level. Nagisa shouted in surprise.

“Wait a minute! Isn’t that the same thing we saw on the upper levels?”

There was something that resembled an insect cocoon and to my surprise, it was more than one.

“No way…….”

Jean’s face changed as he said this.

There were dozens of them even at a cursory glance. Even one of them was a nuisance, but this many would be a disaster.

“Are they all giant beast weapons?”

“Looks like it. I don’t think we’re going to make it to the medical facility until we get rid of them.”

The cocoons of the giant beast weapons were surrounding the structure in the center. It would be impossible to ignore them.

“Well, we’ll just have to fight, won’t we……?”

I said resignedly, and Linnecarlo agreed.

“That’s right. We’ll just go and get it over with.”

“Linnecarlo, don’t be so casual about it. That monster was pretty strong.”

As Nagisa said, it was not an easy opponent to beat.

“Even though they were strong, we already defeated them once. There’s no need to be afraid of them now that they’re more numerous.”

“You’re right. We already know the strength of the enemy, and if we are not careless, we can manage.”

When Linnecarlo said it, it was a bit of a stretch, but when Kiyone said it, it was very convincing. It’s true that with this group, we might be able to make it work.

Everyone immediately boarded their magicrafts and set off.

“We’ll take them out one by one. Work together and kill them quickly.”

Jean instructed simply. I want to, but I don’t know if it will work that well.

As we approached one of the cocoons, we immediately began to attack it. The cocoons must have noticed us, because they extended their threads like tentacles and counterattacked. All of us had some experience fighting this thing, so we seemed to have some idea of its movements. We all avoided the attack without any trouble.

Kiyone approaches the cocoon while avoiding the attack of the white thread. As soon as she was in range, she quickly slashed at it and the sharp sword blow sliced through the solid cocoon and made a hole.

Then, as expected, a giant spider weapon jumped out from inside. This was the second time, so I was not surprised.

Nagisa hit the giant beast weapon that jumped out with all her might. It seems to be quite powerful, and the head that took the direct hit bent in a strange direction.

Linnecarlo’s lightning strike followed up and the dense lightning penetrated the giant beast weapon like a laser beam.

It looks like it’s already on its last breath, but I’m going to finish it off so I cut the giant beast’s weapon in half.
