I’m An S-Rank Behemoth Monster - Chapter 131

「Something unpleasant happened in your battle?」

Cedric, who had descended from the upper floors, had guessed the situation upon seeing Aria and co’s faces. Following him was the group of Vulcan.

「Cedric, we have a problem. We subdued the future Belphegor, but then, the Belphegor of this era broke her seal and escaped to the spirit world, Ark. I’ll go after her.」

Ciel spoke to Cedric as she walked toward the gate.
Aria had anticipated this development, so she immediately spoke.

「Take me too, Ciel-sama!」

「GRRR (Don’t forget about me)!」

It was the same for Tama.

「Aria, Tama-chan… this gate isn’t safe for normal humans and animals. If you don’t have a special power, this gate will destroy your body.」

Ciel’s words meant that although she appreciated their intentions, they had to wait in this place.
However, Aria got an idea.

「Tama, please use your buff skill!」

（…! That’s right! Here we go, 《Divine Protection of Lion King》!）

“

Tama invoked his skill as soon as he understood what Aria was trying to do.

At that moment, a golden aura enveloped every single one of them. The power of Tama’s divine protection in his evolved form had gone through the roof. Its power in his infant form couldn’t even compare to that right now.

When Ciel received Tama’s divine protection, she muttered with a dumbfounded look on her face, 「This… power!?」

「I see, so many buffs in a single skill…」

She said in a serene voice as she felt the power surging forth from her body.

At the next moment…

「Understood, let’s go to Ark together. This time, we will subjugate Belphegor for sure.」

Ciel said as she looked into Aria’s eyes.

「WAIT A MEOW!」

「YEAH! TAKE US TOO!」

「HOUSE-SITTING IS BORING!」

「Want to see the spirit wo~rld!」

Vulcan, Stella, Lily, and Faeri immediately declared their wishes to go with Aria and Ciel.

「Don’t forget about May! We’ll take Belphegor down with all of us!」

May made a batting gesture using her cane and spoke in her usual lively voice.

「Well, since I can’t let my adorable niece go through such a dangerous situation without my supervision, you have to take me too.」

Cedric spoke while patting May’s head. It seemed the last few days he had spent with May had awakened his paternity.

Hearing that, May hugged Cedric and exclaimed, 「Yaay, thank you, Dear Uncle!!」.

「… In the end, everyone is coming, huh. But, thank you. Let’s defeat Belphegor together.」

Ciel said as she looked at everyone. They all nodded at Ciel.

「Let’s go.」

Saying so, Ciel jumped into the gate that was exuding purple lightning. Then, Aria and co followed suit.

「Guh… this is… difficult…」

Aria said in an agonizing voice. Vulcan and the others’ situation was the same.

Complete darkness had covered their vision as soon as they had entered the gate. They felt as if they had been jolted in a semicircular canal.

「UEee~」
「Yuuu~ck.」

Lily and Faeri let out agonizing voices when they felt this uncomfortable sensation for the first time in their life.

At the next moment.

Everyone felt that they had fallen.

And then—

「Nyaa? this place is…」

「A grass… land.」

Vulcan and Stella dumbfoundedly muttered. The others had the same reactions, except Ciel, who was familiar with this world.

「… That’s!」

Suddenly, Aria turned around and muttered in a shocked voice. In her line of sight was a creature with a long neck and a huge body.

「That’s a dinosaur-type monster called Plesiosaur.」

Ciel placed her hand on Aria’s shoulder and explained. She then turned to everyone else and said,

「It seems we have safely crossed the dimensions. Everyone, welcome! This is the spirit world―Ark!」

「Spirit world… we really are in the spirit world.」

Cedric wrily smiled as he spoke. It was a reaction expected on seeing another world. Even a brave man like Cedric, who had traveled all around the world and seen all kinds of scenery, the scene before him right now was completely different from any kind of scenery he had witnessed before.

「Shall we start moving as soon as it’s possible, Ciel-sama?」

「Right, who knows when that meownster will attack us.」

Aria and Vulcan asked Ciel while looking at the Plesiosaur flying in the sky.

Ciel replied that it was okay.

「The monsters in this area are herbivorous. They don’t attack people.」

（A monster that doesn’t attack people, huh… Such a mysterious world!）

Tama, who had returned to his original form during the dimension transfer, rested in Aria’s embrace.

「U~hm, it’s useless! I can’t feel Belphegor’s reaction!」

A depressed look appeared on May’s face as she stared at the compass-like magic tool in her hand. Belphegor could have already moved on to another place.

「Let’s move first. I have an acquaintance in the village around this area. Let’s try to gather the information first.」

「Yeah, let’s go with your idea, Ciel-san. You’re more knowledgeable about this world, after all.」

Cedric agreed with Ciel.

Led by Ciel, the party started moving. Aria, Tama, and Vulcan had tense expressions on their faces, while Lily, Faeri, and Stella were looking around with excitement. May had clasped Cedric’s hand, while Cedric walked toward the village with the gentle smile of a parent.

And thus, they opened a new page of their journey to subjugate Belphegor―the spirit world.
