The selection hall became panic due to the appearance of the gigantic demon beast
「Demon beast!? Demon beast!」
「Moreover, it's damn huge!? What the hell is that!?」
To answer the 『What the hell is that?』 question, perhaps its overall silhouette is close to a horse
Just barely like a horse
It has 4 limbs, hooves and seems to be able to move nimbly
However, its head is not like a horse's. Compared to other animals, the closest thing it looks like is....
...Lamprey?
A horse with lamprey-like head
Most people will say "I don't know what are you talking about" if you describe its outward appearance
Also, it's huge
While the model is like a horse, its size is multiple times bigger
And, I know what kind of demon beast this queer creature is
「That is Manglutton (マングラトン). Damn emperor, he sent in an extraordinary atrocious creature!」
Manglutton
If translated, it would be like 『Big human eater』 or something?
As the name suggest, it's a gluttony demon beast whose favorite food is human flesh
When it swallows a human with its tubular, lamprey-like mouth, the countless teeth inside will break that person like a mixer and turn him into liquid during the swallowing
This demon beast, whose ecology can make people's hair stand just through explanation, is especially harmful to human
Of course it is
Its favorite food: human, plus endless eating too
「To use such a demon beast for selection! What is the emperor thinking!?」
「This is an important selection to decide the empire's strongest. So you must bet your life」
Since the emperor is seated on a terrace much higher than this, he's safe from the demon beast's threat
Completely a spectator
「The first selection will start here. What you, the challengers, should do, is survive. If you survive before the most atrocious demon beast, then you pass」
Don't say such unreasonable thing
Isn't Manglutton the most difficult opponent?
「The method doesn't matter. Fight to beat it is okay, do nothing and run away is fine. But you should not leave the plaza, it's instant disqualification if you leave」
There is no "start"
The demon beast already barged into the plaza, during the emperor's explanation, it already started chasing human and tried to gobble everyone
If you carelessly listened to the explanation, you would be eaten during that time and lost your life
「Ugyaaaa!? Run! Run awayyyyyyyyyy!?」
「Absolutely don't get caught! You will die immediately if you enter its mouth!」
「But with its horse model, we cannot outrun it even if we run away!!」
The tough guys in the plaza already fall into panic and try to escape
But that is not a way
The demon beast called Manglutton is just that dangerous
If we adapt the scale of 『Beast Fantasy』, Manglutton will be the gigantic demon beast that appears in the final stage
It's much stronger than the Spike Big Face I defeated before
Even if you are proud of your strength and aim to enter the Twelve Apostles, it's out of your reach
「To do it this much...!? Did I make light of this selection meeting?」
If a Manglutton, who is only harmful toward human, appeared, perhaps the emperor think it's fine to have casualty
But on the contrary, isn't it more like most of them will die and a mountain of corpse and river of blood will be created!?
「Ooh, I will do my best!」
「Eeeeh!? Selen!?」
In such an emergency, my little sister was lively
While waving her gigantic iron club
「No wait Selen! Perhaps you want to fight it!?」
Wait!
If my sister is eaten before my eyes then I will have mental trauma for the rest of my life, so please escape to safe place!
「I will become the Twelve Apostle together with Onii-chan! Haaaaaaa!!」
The iron club hit the Manglutton exactly at its head
A loud sound appear together with the hit, and the demon beast was blown away.
「Eeeeeh!?」
Uwa, my sister is so strong
She also brought that iron club in the training camp, but nevertheless it's such a brutal weapon
With the echo of that sound, perhaps the demon beast's skull was broken into pieces
From the start, it was a super harmful beast that eat human, so I didn't sympathize at all
...eh?
My little sister has the strength to kill an advanced demon beast with one hit?
I think she is strong, but her strength exceeds my assumption!?
「Onii-chan, Onii-chan! Did you see just now!? Did you see!?!?」
「Yes, I see, but...!?」
My understanding can't catch up with what I saw
「I also became stronger! I became strong to fight together with Onii-chan! So I will protect Onii-chan!」
「O, oh...!?」
My sister's love is heavy
The demon beast is killed because of my sister's effort
If its skull is pulverized then it can't live after all
So I thought we have safely passed the first obstacle...!?
「Don't worry. We have prepared plenty of 『Second helpings』」
With the emperor's signal, new demon beasts appeared from the large gate
Manglutton again
Moreover, this time there are five of them at once
「Ugehyaaaaa!?」
「5 at the same timeeeeeee!?」
Everyone became teary-eyed before the appearance of the embodiment of death
Moreover, it's 『Death by being eaten』, the worst kind...,or not really. In nature, almost everything was killed to be eaten
「There are 300 people participating in the Twelve Apostle selection meeting. It will continue until the number becomes less than 100 people. Now, fight. Only those who advances while looking forward are worthy for the honor of being a strong man」
And the selection plaza became a pandemonium
Those who run away while crying, those who lose their hip and cannot move from their place, those who lose their calm and roll around laughing
They lost their spirits
This gruesome feeling is appropriate for the ritual that decides the strongest of the empire.
However, that doesn't mean everyone has lost to fear
「I give up the title of the strongest spear to Selen. I cannot fall behind anymore」
A charming body jumps out
The line from the waist through the buttock and the thighs has the smoothness of a curved sword....
It's Forte.
「I must show my good point without losing. After all, I am Selen's older sister!」
The cannibalistic demon beasts rampaging as their please in the plaza
One of them reacted to Forte's fighting spirit
It approaches like saying 『I have found a new prey』
As the giant beast approaches, Forte goes towards it without faltering. And they pass each other with great speed
The match is set in that moment
The giant beast's body is torn into two, they split and crumbled down with the force of its sprint
「Beast Magic < Hungry wolf thundering current (Garou Densetsu) >....be satisfied with the nail work taught directly by Wartaiga-sama」 (TN: 餓狼電刹)
Forte is strong
But there is another person who is working hard
「Beast Magic < Unrestrained monkey trickery (Houshin Engi) >!!」 (TN: 放身猿戯)
When Saraka exhaled *fuu*, multiple clones of her appeared from her breath.
Their appearance are the same as the real one, or at least it's impossible to distinguish them with one's eyes
「Ora, here I come, you monster! This way!」
「No, this way!!」
The giant beast was toyed around with the imposters' flashy diversion
And when it lost the sight of its prey and stopped....
「Doraaa!」
The real one attacks from behind
With a direct stab from a long pole, it splendidly pierces the demon beast's skull
「Die, you beast! You are one thousand year too early to eat me!」
Like that, the atrocious demon beast collapsed again
It died faster than expected
「...Hmm, it's a cowardly skill no matter how you look at it」
To Saraka who just accomplished a feat, Forte said with sarcasm
「Surprise attack while deceiving with imposters, it's like confessing you are so weak that you can't get a victory with a frontal battle. An underhanded method worthy of the Hanuma tribe」
「Aaaah!? Didn't you use the ripping technique of Wartaiga-sama!? Is winning with imitation technique your specialty!?」
These two are on bad terms after all
It's even noisier as they are both women
「Hey Jira!? You have the same opinion as mine, right!? My technique is strong and cool, right!?」
「On battlefield, victory is everything! Don't you think my technique is more technically efficient, Jira!?」
Why are you asking for my judgment?
And if I have to answer then I hate both of your finisher moves
Why?
The girls' finisher moves. I remembered the total annihilation after receiving them when I played 『Beast Fantasy 4』 in my previous life
