Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Showing Off!
"Damned dogs! Get out of our territory!" One of the monkey's, their apparent leader shouted in anger.
"What did you say, Monkey? You killed our young and the search party we sent out! I'll tear you to shreds!"
"What young? Now you're just creating excuses to kill our kind? Detestable! Men! Blast those fools!" The monkey commanded
"Get ready boys! Don't leave a single bit of fur left!" The wolf howled.
Despite their words, their attacks never reached each other as Nera came in and slammed the leader of the wolves away before turning her attention to the monkeys' grabbing the head of their leader with one of her massive hands and throwing him against a tree.
"All this talk about whose territory this is… It's quite Ironic, isn't it?" Nera chuckled, putting both sides on guard.
Even with her massive size and high speed, Nera's footsteps didn't make a sound until she was already in striking range. All thanks to her skill, [Gravity Well]

As she looked at the groups, she hummed playfully.

"W-w-what is that thing?! Who are you?!" One of the monkeys in the back questioned
"An irrelevant question," Nera responded, not paying them much attention.
'Both sides' numbers are even, but the monkeys are mages. Troublesome… But not nearly troublesome enough.'
"You lot are not worthy of my [Gigant Form]." Nera continued to speak, her form shrinking.
Much to Alchemy's delight, her dress was perfectly fine and not just in one piece!
"D-damn you! You dare harm Juer like that! I'll kill you!" The wolf, Xiur, lunged at her.
Ducking under the attack, Nera waved her arm, causing the world to pull down on the dog before driving her fist into the side of his head.
|
'This body has too little SP.' Nera acknowledged.
Even if she wanted to use her [Gigant Form], assuming she didn't use [Gravity Well], she could only hold it for a couple of minutes. While she was fully confident in beating the entire group down by simply having higher stats than them in that form, her Mother Goddess asked to see what she was capable of.
"Fire Iginitio"
Suddenly, one of the monkeys shot a fireball at her back, hitting her directly.
|
|
"Y-yes! I got it! Now focus on th-"
Unfortunately for the Monkey, the single shot was not enough to take Nera. All it really did was singe her wings a little and burn her dress, leaving her in the nude once again.
Clicking her tongue, she darted toward him and made him fall to the ground with a single gut punch into an uppercut combo.
|
"Damage parameters acceptable. Analysis complete. You're all SO fucked."
While she talked, the remaining wolves charged at her, two of them lunging and swiping at her, which she easily dodged by moving slightly to the side.
Another of them came at her from above, and she bent down and kicked him in the stomach before initiating a backhand spring to gain some distance from the wolves and get closer to the monkeys.
While they were casting, she grabbed one of their own and used it to block the next fireball. Thanks to them shouting its name, it was relatively easy to time the block.
'5 to go.'
"Is that all? If so, stop your feud and attack me together, weaklings." She demanded, grabbing a huge stick that fell to the ground wielding it like a sword.
The wolves looked at the monkeys. Without saying a word, they made a temporary truce to deal with this threat that was clearly playing with them.
Seeing that her obvious taunt worked, Nera chuckled, allowing them to attack her.
As the battle resumed, one of the wolves launched a gust of wind at Nera, which she sidestepped and dashed forward, meeting the two other wolves with a maniacal laugh.
"What is that wind? It doesn't seem to be magic. Is it a biological process?" She inquired, Grabbing one of the wolves with two of her hands while keeping the other at bay with her stick.
The wolf she had grabbed was thrown at the third, the one who shot at her with wind, halting their approach, while she slashed at the other, her humble stick managing to cut into his skin. The cut wasn't deep, but any cut was far more than a regular stick should be capable of.
"Fire Iginitio X2"
As two more fireballs flew at her, she used the same exact trick, using the wolf as a meat shield.
"Is that the only spell you know? It's not bad for a lesser species; you even managed to singe my wings and disable my flight, but I'm bored of it. Show me something new, please." She frowned, flipping between emotions quicker than you could swap hats.
"Fire magic isn't working?! Is that thing not an Insect Monster?"
"I-I don't know! Try Water!"
With the wolves out of commission, Nera patiently waited for the monkeys to gather their mana again.
"Precipitation Ball! X2"
Two small water balls merged together and flew at Nera.
Taking a stance, Nera held the stick with all 4 of her arms. In a single motion, one slash, she cut the water in half, leaving her nearly completely unscathed aside from two small cuts on both sides of her face.
|
"I suppose the fire was your best." She sighed, dashing at them, ready to let them meet the same fate as their friends.
After only two steps, however, the first monkey she knocked out called out.
"P-please wait!" He shouted, taking deep breaths between his words.
"You… You're the servant of the [Witch] who made this land her home, yes?"
Turning her head toward that specific monkey with bloodlust in her eyes, Nera's target changed as she used [Gravity Well] to increase her speed.
"You DARE call Mother Goddess a Witch?! DIE!"
