Chapter 32: Ocean Vs. Gofu & Pump & Hybrid Mini
"Stall him a few seconds, Gofu. In the meantime, I will…" Pump glanced over at Mini, who was struggling to withstand the chains pulling him underground, and began walking toward him.
"Stall is my as… I will butcher him!" Before Gofu could even finish his sentence, he jumped out, running towards Ocean at full speed. "Until today, I thought I always rampaged up due to my own will! So you were actually creating chaos by infiltrating humans and manipulating?" His anger was so fierce that his feet didn't even seem to touch the ground.
"So what?" Ocean still continued to stare disdainfully at his opponents.
"No one in any world in existence can rule me!"
"Hah! You, all players in this World are a bunch of idiots! Yes, thanks to my and my friends' actions in the shadows, you killed people here and became the strongest KOS player here. And now you accuse me of being a puppet!?"
"AAAAAAARRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Arriving right next to Ocean, Gofu slammed his resplendent upper-class sword into his head like a sledgehammer.

"This set is unique, none of you can overwhelm it!"
"!!!?" Gofu looked angrily at his enemy Ocean, whose body was suddenly covered with a brand new armor that had never even been heard of in this World until now.
And so do others in the square. Except for someone…

"PERISH, YOU DAMN CHAINS!" With his Ouroboros Sword, which he thought there was nothing he could not smash, Pump slammed the chains that imprisoned the Mini with all his might, but only the metal surfaces of the very thick chain links were wearing away.
"I told you this… You can not damage me or my creations! I AM THE ABSOLUTE BEING HERE!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Gofu, who appeared before him again, grabbed him by the throat, threw him forward, and quickly followed him, holding his sword vertically in the direction he was going.
"Stop making such weak fusses, Gofu..." He swung the thick and long sword of the unique white King Arthur armor set, which the system had given him as a favor, towards Gofu, who was rapidly coming towards him.
Surprisingly, a small whirlwind appeared and spun Gofu around, throwing him far away.
"And you!" He glared at Pump, who was still relentlessly trying to save Mini. "Stop futile actions and come at me like your friend… Or should I motivate you to do that?" He pointed his non-sword-holding hand at Pump and Mini and closed his palm. He now looked more frightening with his white King Arthur gauntlets.
"GGGGRRRAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH" Mini's screams increased because the chains were now pulling him down harder, causing the holes in his body to tear more.
"STOP THIS!!!" Pump looked up at their old friend Ocean, who was becoming more and more terrifying with each passing second, but within a few seconds, both he and Ocean and the others in the area looked up, realizing that the screams were coming not only from Mini but also from the sky, with the sudden disappearance of the sun in the area.
"What is… this…?" Cave and the other GBR members watched with fear as the creatures covered the sky.
Even Ocean too…
Dozens... No, maybe more than a hundred winged monsters and Gofu's 3 dragons had gathered, causing the sky to completely darken, and were screaming at each other threateningly.
And after they screamed for the last time, nearly 30 Manticore-type monsters made a sortie and quickly descended towards them. The remaining monsters continued to growl at each other with the dragons.
Everyone there thought that the Manticores were going to attack Mini, but the monsters sortied again, changed direction, and started heading towards Ocean.
"What is happening?" Ocean, going crazy with surprise, raised his free hand towards them this time, and new chains emerged from the ground and started to throw rings in the form of a constantly moving wall in front of Ocean.
And naturally, every Manticore that came across him crashed into the chains and fell to the ground, one by one, screaming with the shattering cuts they received from the sharp hook tips.
"Not only humans… Even monsters should learn to obey their superiors!" His eyelids were fully opened, and the pupils in the middle of his huge eyes were now frighteningly small, completely devoid of emotion.
Realizing that the monsters were not there to attack them, Gofu acted quickly. "NOW, MY BABIES!!!"
Hearing the command of their owner Gofu, the dragons stopped fighting with these newly emerged rivals and all three of them made a sortie towards Mini one after the other.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, GOFU!!!"
"GET BACK, IDIOT!"
With both the dragons' lunge and Gofu's call, Pump jumped backward helplessly.
"NOT ON MY SHIFT!!!" Understanding Gofu's purpose, Ocean grasped his white sword strongly with both hands and moved to go around the chains, but this time he felt the wind of a giant movement approaching from behind.
Now, the Kamaitchi-type monsters were descending to attack Ocean from the other direction.
"SO, HUMANS, DRAGONS, AND MONSTERS AGREED TO GANG UP AGAINST ME!?" Ocean, who lost control of his anger due to the situation he lived in, changed his mind again and turned to the direction the Kamaitchi came from. And thus he made his first mistake…
The dragons reached Mini's chains and as they passed by, they hit the chains with their claws one after another and rose into the sky again.
Although these hard blows to the chains tried to throw Mini off, he continued to resist it and the pulling force of the chains on him. The dragons' powerful claws had managed to create giant cracks in the chains.
"NOW, ALL!"
Pump, Haites, Aegon, Cave… At Gofu's call, they all struck one chain with their swords, and all the chains holding the Mini were shattered.
"This is amazing… Monsters helped us!"
"No, Karmalita… They helped Mini…" After breaking the chain close to him, Haites frowned and looked at the freed Mini. "As I told you, he is not one of us anymore… Even monsters recognized him as one of them!"
"No, Haites… He is still human!" Aegon, who had preferred to remain silent since the beginning of the war, had finally broken her silence. "You are aware of this too because you are still helping him. Just the sadness you feel about what happened today pushes you to blame someone!"
"Tsch!" Haites did not want to continue this discussion any further, because the most terrible war they had experienced since the day they arrived in this world was still continuing.

"YOU B.STARDS!!!" Ocean, who fended off many Kamaitchi attacking him from behind, even though he suffered wounds that caused blood to flow from his armor, appeared one meter above the constantly circulating chain wall in front of him and started to descend towards them with his superior sword.
"BRING IT ON, SCUM! GOFU, MINI, LET'S GO!" Pump leaped forward, making sure by heart that Mini would obey his help call.
And it happened as he thought, because while Gofu was coming from his left, Mini was on his right, flapping his wings and heading towards Ocean angrily.
The second round of the war had begun…
