Chapter 3 – Clash
Part 1
Night and the others were transported to a mysterious world, where they walked through a devastated world while dealing with monsters that attacked them one by one.
They also accumulated more and more green power in their bodies from the mysterious shards they acquired each time they defeated a monster.
Finally, as they continued on without knowing what this power was, a being appeared in front of them that had a particularly strong presence among the monsters they had dealt with so far.
“───”
It was a humanoid creature, more than 20 meters long.
The human face had no eyes or nose, and its entire body was covered with a thick layer of gray skin.
Mechanical-like objects protruded from its limbs in places, and several tentacles extended from its back.
“Grrrrr…”
For Night and the others, this was the first time they had seen such a creature.
It was definitely different from the monsters they had fought before.
Facing such a monster, Night and the others were ready to fight.
Then──.
“Woof?”
The tentacles on the creature’s back approached Night and the others at a tremendous speed.
Night immediately jumped back, holding Akatsuki in his mouth, and Ciel also dodged them.
However, the tentacles changed their trajectory mid-air and continued to chase Night and the others.
“Piiiiiiiiiiiiii!”
In response to the tentacles, Ciel plunged into the tentacles, his entire body covered in blue flames.
Then, burning off the tentacles one by one, he charged at the main body of the humanoid creature.
But…
“Piii!?”
The humanoid creature caught Ciel’s powerful blow with its machine-like arms.
“───.”
“Piiiiiiiii!”
The creature swung its arm carelessly, and Ciel was blown away.
Then Night, who had placed Akatsuki in a safe zone, immediately caught Ciel and landed with him.
“Piii…”
“Woof!”
As if to comfort the depressed Ciel, Night attacked the monster this time.
At that moment, the tentacles poured down like rain again.
“Grrrrrrrr… woof, woof!”
However, while brilliantly dodging these attacks, Night dived into the monster’s chest and slashed at its torso with his sharp claws.
“Kiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Woof!”
“P-piiii…”
Suddenly, the monster let out a deafening scream.
The face was flat, but at that moment, the area around the mouth seemed to be torn open, and what looked like a mouth appeared from inside.
The scream coming from the mouth was so terrifying that the ruins scattered around the area were blown away, and the sand that had filled the surrounding area rose up like a storm.
Not only that but after hearing the screams, Night and Ciel were suddenly struck by a feeling of power draining from their bodies.
The monster’s screams had the effect of draining the power of those who heard them.
The creature approached Night and the others, who were unable to move at full speed, flailing its arms and legs.
“Aaaaaaaah!”
“W-woof…!”
The creature approaching with an eerie voice was terrifying even to Night and the others.
Although they tried desperately to escape, they were still unable to move due to the scream.
“Woof?”
“Buhi!”
Akatsuki activated his Sanctuary skill, and the special anomalies on Night and the others’ bodies were removed.
In the nick of time, Night and the others were able to move, and the creature dodged the attack and attacked as they passed each other.
“Woooff!”
“Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
“Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The creature whose back tentacles were slashed by Night and whose feet were pierced by Ciel screamed again.
However, since Akatsuki’s Sanctuary was still in effect, Night and the others were unaffected.
But…
“Woof!”
To their surprise, the wounds they had inflicted began to heal.
While they were surprised, the monster blindly swung its arm.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Even though it only swung its arm, the surrounding terrain changed with a single blow, making it impossible to get very close.
Besides, any half-hearted attack would be quickly recovered.
However, with the size of Night and the other’s bodies, it would be difficult to inflict any fatal damage to the monster.
Akatsuki could grow larger, but he did not have the strength to block the monster’s attack, nor did he have the offensive skills to overwhelm it.
While Night and the others were struggling with the situation, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his own body.
The discomfort was not unpleasant, however.
Night could not verbalize the situation, but it seemed to be a reaction to the strange green light his body had absorbed in this mysterious world and something that lay dormant within him.
At some point, Night surrendered to this physical discomfort.
Then──.
“Fugu!”
“Pi!?”
Suddenly, Night’s body began to glow.
The light grew stronger and stronger until it became so large that it swallowed the monster in front of it.
And then──.
“Woof.”
As the light faded, what appeared from within was… Night, who had awakened the Night God Wolf’s Divine Authority skill, which had once been activated during the battle with the Dragonia aliens.
Originally, the environment had to be at night to activate this skill.
However, in this mysterious world, the color of the sky was fundamentally different, and it was doubtful that the concepts of day and night even existed.
Most importantly, Night had awakened in this way, but there was a difference from the time of the battle with the Dragonia aliens.
The green light that had been absorbed by Night’s body shimmered and rose from his body.
Ciel and Akatsuki were surprised by the sudden change, but it was Night himself who was most astonished.
“Wo-woof?”
Night had awakened during the battle with the Dragonia aliens, but this was the first time he recognized this state of being.
He had heard about the giant transformation, but he had no memory of it, so he was skeptical about it.
Anyway, after awakening in this way, Night grew enormously, overpowering even the monster in front of him.
“Ki-kiiiiiiii.”
The monster was also overwhelmed by the huge Night that suddenly appeared.
At the same time, however, it turned its attention to the green light emanating from Night’s body and attacked with even more ferocity than before.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
A continuous attack with all of its tentacles and both arms and legs.
All of them smashed into Night’s body.
But…
“Woof.”
The green light acted like a shield, preventing all of these attacks.
As a result, there was not a single scratch on Night’s body.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
The monster was still angry and continued to attack, but the result remained the same.
And then──.
“Woooooof!”
“──!”
As Night howled, a tremendous shock wave swept through the entire mysterious world.
The creature that was hit by the shockwave at close range was instantly blown away, and its body was unable to withstand the force and was shredded into pieces.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
The monster screamed.
However, no matter how much it screamed, Night’s howl did not stop, and more importantly, the monster was unable to recover, and just like the other monsters, it crumbled and disappeared like sand.
After defeating the monster that suddenly appeared, Night’s body glowed again, and he returned to his original size.
“Woof?”
In the end, Night could not understand why he suddenly grew to a giant size, but he breathed a sigh of relief that he had defeated the monster.
“Pipi!”
“Woof?”
In response to Ciel’s voice, a mysterious piece that he had seen before appeared from where the creature had just disappeared.
However, the piece was larger than any they had seen before, and Night and the others were overwhelmed.
“Woof.”
“Fugu?”
“Pii.”
Without knowing what this piece was, they watched it for a moment, and then it broke into three pieces and was absorbed by Night and the others, just as it had been before.
The next moment.
“Woof!”
Unlike before… the memories of the defeated monster began to flow into Night and the others’ brains.
