SWNOVELXO Chapter 1469: Let’s Go!
-----
Celica ended up running away again, chasing a pink colored Goo from all things!
We quickly gave chase, this time Celeste extended her shadows, grabbing Celica and sticking her to her back with her shadow chains.
"Hm… I don’t like this!" Celica pouted. "Why am I like this? I’m not a baby…"
"You’re acting like a baby right now, so just stay put," said Celeste, sighing. "Anyways let’s follow the pink goo she saw!"
"Ah yeah you’re following now because I found it…" Celica was perhaps acting angry for the first time since I’ve known her.
Hehe, I guess it means she has grown more and developed more emotions.
"Sorry Celica, we’ll let you go once this is done…" I apologized. "I’ll make you anything you want later, how about it?"
"Oooh!" She smiled. "Then I want the cream puffs you made back then Sylphy!"
"Sure!"As we followed the Pink Goo, we suddenly hid behind a huge boulder, noticing a huge congregation of Pink Goos gathered at a corner of the cave.
There were literal dozens of them, and they were all gathering around a huge, black and metallic colored Goo with a silver crown on top.
So its literally a King with a crown and everything?!
"Guuughh… Guuuguh!"
It was groaning in a weird way, looking at all the Pink Goos approach, only for him to reject them… some of them however brought… gifts?
Suddenly, they dropped something in front of him, a half-eaten… body?!
"W-Wait, is that a victim of the Goos?!" asked Celeste. "It looks half eaten…!"
"No way!" Ruby screamed, covering her mouth. "Ugh… I’m going to puke…"
It didn’t end there, a few more of them dropped several other half-eaten, already dead bodies in front of the King, who glanced at them with interest.
It was aiming to eat them?!
These people are dead, but we can’t let their bodies be sullied!
"So this is the reason why we couldn’t find any adventurers!" said Ruby. "I-It must be their mating season… the book says that the Pink Goos capture prey in masse to offer to the Goo King, he’ll choose the females that bring the largest and tastiest prey… after eating the offerings he mates with them, ugh!" she covered her mouth again, resisting the urge to vomit.
"No way, that’s horrible!" Celica said. "We have to go save the corpses at least! I can sense their souls are in anguish! Let me go! I can help!"
"Okay!" Celeste let go of Celica. "Let’s go! They might be dead, but their bodies can be returned to their parents at least… they need a proper burial, or they’ll become vengeful spirits and turn into ghosts or undead!" RÁＮǒ𝖇ЕṨ
"Alright, let’s go!" I nodded.
We charged forward, as I quickly unleashed my full power at once, I wasn’t messing around anymore.
"{Divine Yggdragon Dual Aura}! {Divine Yggdragon Triple Aura}!"
FLUOSH!
I unleashed my complete Aura’s power as a gigantic dragon materialized from my Aura, a five-headed dragon of the elements of fire, nature, space, holy light, and metal.
"Now, before they’re eaten…! {Yggdragon’s Roar}!"
"ROOOAAARRR!"
RUMBLE!
All five heads roared at the same time, releasing a powerful shockwave that made the entire caves tremble. The Goos heard it and immediately became paralyzed, unable to grab the food.
Within that small bubble of time we had, I reached the Pink Goos nearby and quickly swung Scarlet with all my fury.
"Die! {Four Colored Holy Dragon Thunder Flame}!"
SLAAASH! SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
A dance of slashes reached me as I ran towards the corpses and the king, erupting on flames and thunder everywhere, covering the Pink Goos and exploding them into pieces and smoke.
At the same time, we reached the King who quickly came back to his senses, furiously, it materialized hundreds of tentacles against us, while trying to eat its prey quickly to not have it stolen!
"Not going to work!"
Celeste appeared from above and used her powerful living spear, Thanatos, transforming it into hundreds of small daggers and firing them at once against the Goo King!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The rain of smaller flying daggers constantly pushed the Goo King’s tentacles away, giving us enough time to reach him with Celica and Ruby.
"That bastard is only Tier 5 at most, Ruby, you’re finishing him!" I said.
"Me?!" she asked.
"So you get more EXP!" I smiled at her. "Now…"
I swung Scarlet again as I enchanted my powers with my five-headed Yggdragon Aura.
"{Yggdragon’s Cosmic-Seeking Aura}!"
FLUOSH!
Suddenly an azure-colored serpentine dragon made of cosmic light wrapped around my body, allowing me to move rapidly and blink through space momentarily and without complications.
FLASH!
SLASH!
FLASH!
SLASH!
FLASH!
SLASH!
I constantly moved, slashed, and moved again; the hundreds of tentacles were unable to even touch me with their deadly corrosive acid.
"GRAAAH!"
The Goo King seemed furious, suddenly opening its jaws to gather a massive sphere of darkness, firing it at me!
"Ah…!"
BOOOM!
It didn’t do much damage, but it sent me flying away with immense force! Just how much gravity was it charged with?
"Careful! It can control Gravity Magic! It’s not that strong but it sure will send you flying away!" I said.
"Alright, so playing tricks huh?!" Celeste smiled. "Don’t be delusional, you’re dying today bastard!"
She combined her spear once more back to normal, then transformed it again into a massive black hand, swinging it down against the Goo King.
The slimy monster opened its countless red eyes wide, quickly swinging a hand of its own against Celeste’s attack!
CLAAASH!
The hand it created, made out of its own body, was tougher than I imagined too!
"GUGUUHH…!"
With a furious groan, the Goo King exuded a mighty Aura.
Wait this guy isn’t Tier 5 at all, it was hiding its power this entire time!
RUMBLE!
The Goo King suddenly gained red and blue colors within its slime, growing larger and larger, resembling an amalgamation of many Goos together.
"GRUUUAAAAHHH!!!"
As it screamed angrily, its many eyes fired elemental beams against us!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
