It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters - 164 164 "White onslaught again"

…… Tsurugi-san.

I mutter the name of the woman in the white hood standing in front of me.

At the same time Lily and Ferrido, who were around, immediately stepped forward to protect me, Luna and Locke, and held up their swords to Tsurugi-san.

It’s you. Have you come for that woman over here again?

While confronting Tsurugi, Felid asks while checking on me and Luna behind him.

You can see that he’s in the background. I’m sure you’ll be able to find a way to make your life easier.

To which Tsurugi replied with the same cold words as the last time.

I see.

Hearing Turugi’s response, Ferry and Lily entered a battle stance, and seeing this, Turugi slowly took a stance as well.

Before long, after a brief silence, it was Mr. Ferrido who moved first.

Just as he did the last time, he instantly reduces the distance between him and Tsurugi to zero and at the same time fires a flash from the bosom.

In response, Tsurugi immediately vanishes from the scene via spatial transfer, but at that moment, Mr. Fyrid steps to his right and delivers a heavy blow to the space where Tsurugi has vanished.

At the same time, Tsurugi, who has moved a little further away, lets out a slight cry of anguish, and a thin sword is carved into his shoulder.

“I told you before. I told you before that no matter how you shifted or moved from that space, if I tore up that space, I could damage you beyond. Even if you make a space transfer, he can still damage you at the destination by ripping apart that space in the same way.

It’s not just a matter of time before you’ll be able to get your hands on a new one.

It’s true that Turugi’s intent to kill Luna is real, as it was felt during the previous battles.

And I can feel her determination to do it.

The fact that she has reappeared is proof of that, and the reason why.

We didn’t know why Turugi was trying to kill Luna to such an extent.

I wanted to ask her about it, but the battle that was unfolding before us didn’t allow for such questions.

Tsurugi’s side again launches an attack from behind with spatial transfer, but he evades it with a single piece of paper and fights back.

The offense and defense are exactly one back and forth.

No, with each swing of his sword, the balance of victory is definitely shifting to Mr. Faredo.

Turugi’s space-transitioning ambush has already seen through his movements, and for the second attack, he attacks where Turugi appears.

As expected, Ferryd is reliable.

There’s no one better to have on your side than you.

I’m watching the battle between the two of them, thinking this to myself, when Lily, who was standing next to me, murmurs to me with a mysterious look on her face.

It’s …… strange.

“?　What’s that?

I question Lily’s unexpected muttering.

In response, Lily continues, pointing out the battle between the two in front of her.

That Tsurugi guy. It looks like he knows he can’t win against felids and is challenging them to a fight. If he was serious about killing Luna, he would have a better plan. It just looks like he’s stalling.

What’s the point of stalling?

I don’t know about that but ……

I’m sure you’ll find your face cloudy at my question.

But it’s true that there are many things about Tsurugi’s behavior that are puzzling.

Even if he were to show up like this, as long as Mr. Ferrido is here, won’t it end the same way as last time?

At the same time as we were wondering, the egg on top of the killer plant starts to shake loudly again.

Then, as soon as Tsurugi saw it, he unleashed his sword.

But it wasn’t aimed at the man in front of me, Mr. Ferrido.

! What

A sword shot out in a strange direction.

The very egg that had just come from the top of the killer plant.

It was aimed at the branch supporting it.

By the time Tsurugi realized her aim, it was too late, and her flash of her sword slices through the branch that was supporting the egg, and the egg, which has lost its support, begins its free fall just like an apple falling from a tree branch.

The egg!

“Huh?

Before Lily and I can scream, Mr. Fayed makes a full sprint for the egg.

And before the egg reaches the ground, Mr. Fayed catches it in mid-air, and it’s safely out of the way.

But that small window of opportunity was enough for Turugi to make his next move.

I’ll take it.

Instantly transitioning in front of me and Lily, Tsurugi-san.

That’s right!　You want this!

Turugi secretly observes that Felido has asked me to grow Bahamut, and then distracts Felido by cutting off the eggs just before Bahamut is born.

He then uses that brief window of time to kill Luna.

It’s a bit of a ploy, to be sure, but it’s the only way to get rid of Mr. Faredo.

He’s too far away from where we are, and he needs a few seconds to get to us.

To buy a few seconds of time, Lily attacked Tsurugi in front of us.

Even though the attack doesn’t work, I’m sure Lily will still be able to hold it together!

I’ll only be able to help, but I’ll take a stand to protect Luna behind her, holding her in my arms to protect her from Tsurugi’s attacks, even if only slightly.

!　Oh, hey!　Hey, come on, Keogh!

Luna, who looked impatient at the unexpected hug and panicked.

Uh-huh. I understand, this is not a dirty thing to do, I’m trying to protect you in my own way, but please bear with me.

By the way, Rock, who is right next to me, was also hugging Luna, trying to protect her.

Or maybe he was just imitating me and hugged her: …….

In the meantime, Tsurugi immediately faced an unstoppable barrage of attacks from the beast-formed Lily, who was concentrating on avoiding the attacks by refraction of dimensions.

Even though he is a brave man who manipulates space, if he moved to attack before such a continuous attack, he himself would be attacked in that split second.

Lily is doing everything she can just to buy a few seconds.

Just in the meantime, Felid, who has placed the egg on the ground, comes running towards you.

It’s not too late!　That was the moment when we were relieved to be saved.

Yes, you’re right. If it was just Turugi, you would have won.

“Huh?

The voice came from behind.

From behind Luna, a shadowy, thin man emerges.

A young man with narrow eyes and an eerie smile, as if he were a snake.

The person smiles a thin crescent moon smile and opens his mouth, looking down at me and Luna.

I’ll be able to get the most out of it. I’m one of the SS-ranked demons that exist in this world. And this time, I am a collaborator of your hero, Tsurugi-san.
