Chujitsuna raised her head, stopping making the trench with her Magic for a moment to look at where Taisetsuna was pointing.
She half-closed her eyes and said, “No, those are horses, cows, ‘Scaraar’s, and chickens. Do we need to stop them?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANACo62ciA35b
Taisetsuna frowned and answered, “Might as well. It will serve to test our defence! Everyone, make a line! Let’s do this! Chuji! The trench!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAeA5ntuP6Bn
“Sorry boss! On it!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA7EfuJc7J0S
Taisetsuna looked at the City again and saw a big group of people coming from the gates with soldiers after them, shooting arrows and Magic. Two people in that group stayed behind to fight the soldiers by creating walls made of rock or throwing Wind Pushes against them, and the rest continued running towards the trench that Chujitsuna and Tresuria were still opening, and a bunch of animals kept on falling inside, in a stream of entangled bodies.
52Please respect copyright.PENANASOHUOZaZvQ
As they approached the other edge of the trench, Taisetsuna recognized the students and Teachers of the Academy, and she shouted, “What are you doing here?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ6NRhmKb2
From the middle of that group, Tomiga Yurao answered, “We came to help! What do you want us to do?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAMxT79COTE5
“I want all of you to go away! Raluth will control you, and you will fight us to go to him!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANANGP4PzHZJQ
They all looked to where she was pointing, and Tomiga shouted when he saw the gigantic opened mouth and the mushroom-shaped explosions in the middle of the Dragons’ attacks, “Is that Raluth? He is ugly! And what are these screams? Is he in pain or angry?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANACOD6iLGmfj
“Probably both! Now go away! Go back to the Academy and drink a Sleeping Potion!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAT5A2mxxD82
While he spoke, Tomiga took a small purse from his pocket and threw it at her. “I will not let you fight while I flee like a coward! Chew this! The Princess’ Royal Guards were giving this to every Beast-kind Adventurer in the Capital! It raises our courage and maybe it can help us resist Raluth’s power! It works differently on Humans, it is only for Beast-kind!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAUMn0DhhV5i
Taisetsuna took two chewing gums and gave the purse to Hinen while saying, “I know this! It was one of the weird foods that Nozomu made. He made another kind of chewing gum that worked differently, and he said to me that this version was only for the Princess! The Guards were giving this?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAtaGMiucVOT
“Yes, to the Adventurers and soldiers! She ordered every soldier to stop people from coming to Raluth!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAkPl0k1UGS5
“That’s our Princess, alright! Even in all this mess, she finds some way to help! Why were those soldiers after you? Don’t they know what is happening?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6hN0DT8cxM
“They tried to stop us and asked for our papers. A bunch of morons, worried about an invasion from the Magical Circle with a gigantic mouth in plain sight! The Principal and Teacher Ruh the Mills told us to keep going and that they would stop them. I think they are doing a pretty good job!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAskb351Mkvp
Taisetsuna saw the wall of rock stretching on both sides and ending against the wall of the City, preventing the soldiers or anyone else from coming from the City, and then they ran to meet the others near the trench.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAyRsZZkRXhN
When they arrived, the Principal asked, while trying to recover his breath, “What… is happening… over there? And these screams…”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAqRB1myJLcI
After checking that Chujitsuna was still making the trench, Taisetsuna answered, “Raluth is angry! Attention, everyone! If you feel like losing control, ask someone to knock you out. I won’t hesitate to kill any of you if you fall under Raluth’s control and try to attack us! And-”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJqv7cKx0Kh
A light coming from behind made her turn, and she jolted. Raluth was pointing his mouth to the sky and shooting beams after beams of Magic, trying to kill as many Dragons as he could. They kept on coming from every direction, joining the ones that were already on top of him and making him bleed.
52Please respect copyright.PENANABI3VzR35Zh
Taisetsuna gulped at the sight of so many Dragons falling dead from the sky and shouted, “Everyone! Keep one eye on Raluth and move away if he shoots his Magic at us! Let’s get ready because that wall made of rock might not hold when people start to attack it to get through!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZRRwc7vk0
Tomiga looked at the trench, frowning at the sight of so many animals inside, and said, “Taisetsuna, your Unicorns were in the Capital, protecting the Magical Circle. The soldiers were fighting them, and that gave us an opportunity to come here. I thought they liked people, but they were killing so many soldiers!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAHcFb6PbQBQ
“They are being controlled by Raluth. I hope someone knocks them out instead of killing them because it is not their fault.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAIc4SMUMmWg
“Teacher Muse stayed in the Capital, and she said she would take care of them. When we were using the Circle, I saw her hit Rampage’s head a few times with her frying pan, and he fainted. She then jumped to get to Furnace, but then the Circle brought us here and I didn’t see what happened next. But she looked like she could handle things there!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANATguQelYIPT
“Nice! One less thing to worry about.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANABKmmGXpAlH
Then, they all heard a voice inside their heads, and they faced the abomination in the mountains that was still fighting the Dragons and being hurt by Nozomu’s explosions, “|… Come to me, my children! Raluth is waiting for you! Come, join me, and get rid of all your sins, for Raluth is joy and happiness! ...|”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYmqdmuJlPU
Taisetsuna frowned while chewing her gum and asked, “Is it just me that is hearing this? Because that doesn’t sound good for us!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9uP4Jg5oT2
Robert answered with a weird smile on his face, “Yes, Raluth, I am here! I am going…”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA4n8BBsxh1U
He began to walk, and Taisetsuna immediately punched him, knocking him out. She then looked at the students on the other side of the trench, and saw every Human with the same smile on their faces, walking towards the trench.
Tomiga frowned and began kicking and punching everyone, and when he ended, the Principal and all the Human students had fainted at his feet.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAgleRXYWh3A
He then looked at Taisetsuna and said, with a grin while chewing his gum, “Does this mean that all Humans are coming here to face the wrath of the mighty Tomiga Yurao?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAKXKlWljamu
“Probably. Are you alright?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAoNjINkZsH7
“Yeah, I hear a stupid noise in my head, but the great Tomiga Yurao won’t fall! I will knock them all out!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAh2ZNyHFj1x
Near Chujitsuna, Tresuria was shaking her head, trying to get rid of the voice while using her Magic to make another section of the trench.
Chujitsuna noticed she was having trouble with something and asked, “Are you alright? What is the matter?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAQP3sNDd316
“This chewing gum doesn’t work on Gailies… This one is hearing… and it is… difficult to keep focus… This one doesn’t want to… die before… saying… this one… likes you, Chuji… this voice… can’t… have to…”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAtn0yDxI852
Chujitsuna hugged her and said, “I am not going to let you go there and leave me. Don’t worry, my dear. I will take care of you.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAgHcFuatjST
She pierced her fingernails on Tresuria’s back as she was hugging her, and in seconds, felt her going numb. She carefully laid her on the ground and shouted, “We lost Tresuria! Someone able to use Earth Magic come here! I need help with the trench!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA1aFaklR7Bg
One Cat-kind student and one Snake-kind went to her and stopped on the other side of the trench.
She kissed Tresuria’s forehead and said, “You two, let’s enlarge this and make it continue as far away as we can! Now, morons!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAnq8Wt3Nqgs
They immediately gathered their Magic to follow her orders, and Chujitsuna gave one last look to the sleeping Gailie before continuing her task.
At Nozomu’s front of attack, he shot one more of his dark clouds, and hid behind Hinotsume’s tail, taking cover. The blast took another section of scales, and three Dragons began shooting Fire Magic at the rough skin, trying to do as much damage as possible.
Nozomu had told them to keep hitting the same spot where his explosions hit so that they could do the maximum damage and try to open the wound faster than Raluth could heal.
Even with ten Dragons shooting Magic at the same time, the healing was faster.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdFvbawLHZK
Hinotsume glanced at the City, saw the trench and the wall of rock and said, “Your friends are doing a good job, Nozomu, but this is not working. When Raluth starts eating people, he will gain more energy, and his Healing Magic and his attacks will be even more powerful. We might need to think about another approach!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA92HgzkfGUm
Another explosion and Nozomu hid again before answering. “I was thinking the same, but I was hoping we could at least open an entrance here instead of me needing to go through his mouth. Those teeth of his are scary!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANACV8w8idKoi
Then, Nozomu looked at Taisetsuna’s group before gathering more of Hinotsume’s Magic to make another dark cloud, and he saw the wall that was in front of the City crumbling, and an enormous group of people appeared from the opening, running straight ahead.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAbxGBE31Qv0
Mizukonta approached and said, “I hear a low buzz coming from Raluth! He is trying to control us, but so far, the chocolates seem to block his Magic! But people are coming, Hinotsume! What do we do?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAMkG8OcSwl2
“Keep blasting! Taisetsuna and the others will do their part, while we will do ours! Nozomu, you may need to carry out your crazy plan after all!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA2t40ROvo5Z
“I know. If Taisetsuna can’t stop them, I will go inside Raluth and finish him. Warn the Dragons to be ready to flee when I go inside, and to take as many people as they can. The explosion will be massive!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAETADMwAFBh
Hinotsume glanced at Taisetsuna’s group before shooting another gush of Fire Magic to one of the several Raluth’s wounds.
In front of the trench, Taisetsuna was looking at the horde of people running towards her, with a few Beast-kind soldiers doing their best to knock out as many people as they could manage.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3JZevgo06
She raised her right fist and shouted while chewing her gum, “They are coming, everyone! Let’s stop them all! Don’t let anyone pass.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhAEVexpMwK
At her side, Hinen answered, as he was glowing with Magic, “Let them come! I will stop them! No one will get past me!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5Imo72lG37
On the other side of the trench, Tomiga shouted even louder, “Come, you fools! Come and face the wrath of the all mighty Tomiga Yurao!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6tJKzD7nDG
Without waiting for anyone, he ran to meet the crowd as he shouted to the other Beast-kind students and Teachers, “Let’s help the soldiers! You don’t want to leave all the work to Taisetsuna, do you? The more we stop, the less she has to fight!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJta64XlzYy
Taisetsuna shouted at him, “Be careful, moron! And don’t you kill anyone, or I will slice off the rest of your tail!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANANdYWIwBdhU
Tomiga waved at her with a grin and ran while gathering his Magic.
More people came from the City who were arriving from all over the World through the Magical Circle, and they joined the crowd that was already heading towards Raluth.
Even with the Beast-kind soldiers that came through the Circle from the ‘Principality of Khiz’, following Princess’ Mere orders to stop the people, and Tomiga and the Academy students, it was impossible to stop them all.
As they were running towards the trench and falling inside, more people fell over the ones already there, and soon there was a mass of entangled bodies covering the trench that worked as a bridge for more people to cross.
Chujitsuna and the students able to use Earth Magic did their best to increase the gap in the trench to hold more people, while Hinen and Taisetsuna were using their Magic to push people back.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAjq9RtoU5Bi
Taisetsuna frowned and shouted, as she was biting hard on the chewing gum, “You shall not pass! None of you!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJlXeW2jZU6
She shone like a small sun, and while Hinen was shooting Water Push one after the other, Taisetsuna made one massive wall of tornados that spread along the edge of the trench to both sides and pushed the crowd back, giving time for Chujitsuna and the other Earth Magic users to increase the gap in the trench.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAiR6Fwqx6Qz
Hinen grinned and mumbled, “Darn, she is truly amazing…”
