Chapter 520 Diablos

Satoshi jumped to the side and extended his hand as a whip made of molten rocks manifested in his hands. Flailing around, Satoshi managed to shield himself from the boulders that were so mercilessly hurled at them.

On one side, the monsters had taken a strategic position of putting their vanguard tanks on the front, while the spellcasters continuously summoned fireballs and hurled boulders at the four-man team who were infinitesimally smaller than them.

Compared to the gigantic monsters who were going berserk, Satoshi’s team were just bugs waiting to be squished in a snap of a finger. Despite their overpowered superpowers as Disciples, they could barely keep up with the onslaught that was delivered to them.

Once again, Satoshi jumped to the side, avoiding another fireball by a hair’s breadth. However, the fireball actually scattered into smaller pieces like a frag grenade, dispersing an unblockable force that hurled Satoshi forward. He wasn’t able to stop the momentum since the suddenness shocked him, and by the time he realized what was going on, he was already on top of Lucy.

“Eh?!” Lucy said, also losing her composure when she realized where Satoshi was touching. She looked down, then looked up at his lips which almost grazed her lips.

“LUCY! SATOSHI!” Horatius screamed, rushing to their aid and propping a blanket of water so they won’t be hit by a boulder traveling toward them. “You guys all right?”

“Yes, thank you, Horatius.” Satoshi gritted his teeth as he stood up, also pulling Lucy up along with her. At that moment, he wanted to apologize for the accident but before he could utter another word out of his mouth, a couple more boulders came their way and he had to grab Lucy in a princess carry and jump out of the way.

It would’ve been far easier if the monsters matched their headcount. But no, there was thrice their number compared to Satoshi’s team. Of course, they’d be overwhelmed since each monster was slightly more powerful than any of them.

“Eh?!” Lucy exclaimed as she felt Satoshi’s grip on her thighs and shoulder. She looked up, seeing Satoshi’s chiseled chin and blushing as she inadvertently turned away. ‘He’s so closee~ hiyaahhhh~’ She screamed inwardly.

“Oi, oi, earth to Lucy? Are you all right?” Satoshi asked.

“E-e-earth?” Lucy stammered, wondering what Satoshi meant by that expression.

“Nothing, are you all right?” He asked once again before setting him down. In that instant, a burst of energy erupted from Satoshi, and before Lucy could ask what was happening, Satoshi had already completed his second integration.

Another boulder was hurled at the two of them. But this time, Satoshi didn’t bother dodging. Instead, he extended his hand and it transformed into a huge chainsaw. With a flick of his hand,? the boulder was cut cleanly in half before it disintegrated into tiny rocks.

“Amy, I need your help,” Satoshi said. Right now, he was still looking at Lucy, causing her to misunderstand what he was doing.

‘Why did he call me by a different name? Is Amy some type of endearing term in his home planet? What’s going on?’ Lucy asked herself. At this point, she was already befuddled and her mind became preoccupied with assuming what the term ‘Amy’ meant.

In that instant, Satoshi’s familiar, Amy the Copycat, came out of Orb Oboros’s dimension. She looked like a humanoid blue-colored blob with more curves than Lucy. Her appearance alone made Lucy self-conscious, but she didn’t bring up the topic.

“You know what to do,” Satoshi called out as Amy nodded her head. In that instant, Amy transformed into a replica that looked exactly like Satoshi.

Since the two of them could communicate in their minds, Satoshi didn’t bother saying anything to Amy. She already knew what to do and they coordinated their attacks together pretty well.

Just when Amy aimed her chainsaw at Satoshi’s head, Satoshi ducked, and the boulder that came at him was blown to bits. Satoshi then stopped short in his tracks, putting both his hands together and squatting as low as he could. In response, Amy completely understood what Satoshi was doing, and she stepped on his palms.

Fwip~!

Satoshi propelled Amy upward, and before one of the vanguard monsters could figure out what was about to happen, Amy grabbed him by the horn, unclipped the chain on her chainsaw, and used it as a rope to bring Satoshi up as well.

Sling~!

With a nod, Satoshi grabbed the chains that dangled in front of him. As soon as he did so, Amy pulled him upward, not because she wanted to, but because the monster started flailing, trying to literally get her out of its head as it let out an irritated groan.

As Satoshi was flung up, he put his entire weight into the chainsaw, swinging it sideways. Since the monster was too focused on Amy, it wasn’t able to defend itself from Satoshi’s surprise attack. Moreover, its weakness was on its neck since that’s the only part of its body that wasn’t fortified by any of its skills.

Grgrggrgrggr~!

At first, the chainsaw just dug through the skin of the monster, which caused Satoshi’s momentum to temporarily stop. But just then, he made the chainsaw go faster, and it didn’t take long before it completely dug through the monster’s thick neck.

Before the other monsters realized it, one of their comrades was already dead, its head plopping on the ground as it let out a soft groan. Slowly, its colossal body fell down on the ground with a thud.

Horatius, Leif, and Lucy couldn’t believe that Satoshi single-handedly took down a monster. It gave them the morale boost they needed as they continued their last stand against the invaders.

However, that didn’t stop the monsters from attacking at all, nor did it discourage them from attacking without mercy. Just like usual, they came down at the four-man team without hesitation.

“ARGH!” Horatius screamed, propping another wall of water in front of him to block a boulder. He then used a hydro pump, blowing a couple of fireballs away before surfing away out of there. No matter what he did, he just couldn’t get close to the monsters no matter what he did.

He knew that summoning his tamed beast would break the status quo, but if he did that, he won’t have enough energy left for himself. And if his tamed beast was gravely injured during the summoning, he won’t be able to recall it a second time.

The others faced the same dilemma as well. Well, everyone except Lucy was affected by it since she already summoned her Golden Pen. Right now, she just had to concentrate on keeping the Golden Pen alive throughout the entire battle. Otherwise, she won’t be able to summon it anymore, just like the others.

…

When the dimension break happened, Magnus Carter immediately felt it deep within his system. After all, the entirety of this territory was his dimension. Even mild alterations to it would be detected automatically. At first, Magnus Carter had no idea what it was, but when he realized that it was actually a dimension break, he was faced with a problem.

For one, all his Disciples were outside their residences. And if a dimension break occurred deep inside his dimension, then that would mean the enemy was formidable enough to break through his nigh impeccable barrier. In other words, his Disciples were in danger, and not only that, he was the only one strong enough to protect them.

“What do I do?” Magnus Carter contemplated. If he sent all his Disciples away just to guarantee their safety, then there was no way he’d be able to guarantee his.

There was also the option of asking the other Managers for help, but would he have enough time?

Magnus Carter slapped both his cheeks, instantly returning him to reality. This was no time to think about things. Right now, he had to do what he could in what little time he had. “For now, I’ll check the situation, and then I’ll think about what to do later on.”

Before he could announce to everyone what was currently going on, one of his Disciples approached him from behind. She was out of breath as if she ran a long distance just to get there. But what he didn’t know was that Finana actually used most of her energy just to get there as fast as she could.

“Finana? What’s going on?” Magnus asked, even though he was already fairly certain as to why she hurried all the way here.

“It’s a dimension break, Magnus-san! A dimension break!” Finana was on the verge of tears when she informed their Manager about it. However, she still had enough composure to utter comprehensible words.

“Calm down, Finana, first, tell me what the monsters look like. All right?”

“They’re big, and red, and they have horns on their heads! Magnus-san, please help Horatius and the others. Satoshi and Lucy are also there, keeping the monsters at bay.” Finana sniffled. She badly wanted to cry but she had to suppress the urge since the urgent situation was not yet over.

“Diablos… we have to hurry.” Magnus Carter responded, creating a portal that leads straight to the Disciples’ residences.
