The Small Sage Will Try Her Best In The Different World From Lv.1! - Chapter 75

Upon approaching the treasure chest that was shrouded in mist, I felt like the atmosphere was gradually getting heavier.

Even Frank-san, who had taken the lead, wrinkled up his brows.

Then, we stood before the red treasure chest that was shrouded in the black mist.

“I feel an unpleasant presence.”

Everyone nodded at Frank-san’s words.

“Well then, Argo. I’ll entrust opening it to you. Whaat, even if it’s cursed, I’ll definitely dispel the curse, so rest assured.”

“Kyuu.”

Frank-san broadly smiled as he tapped on Ar-niisama’s shoulder. Luan also seemed like it was saying, “Good luck”.

“…Is it just my imagination, or I’ve always gotten this kind of role like this?”

Ar-niisama smiled wryly, but he still assigned an attribute to his sword before he opened the treasure chest.

That’s right. Once the treasure chest is opened, a boss will definitely appear.

Looking at that, Amanda-san also followed.

“O power of Water that dwelleth in me, I beseech thee. From my sword, burst forth, Water!”

“O power of Flames that dwelleth in me, I beseech thee. From my sword, burst forth, Flames!”

The swords that were swung, had water and fire swirling around it respectively.

As always, magical swords are so cool!

“Now. …Is everyone ready?”

Ar-niisama confirmed and after everyone nodded, his right hand was still holding the sword as it was, while his left hand touched the treasure chest.

The atmosphere quivered.

Then, the inside of the treasure chest that was now opened was empty and—

“Something is coming!”

At the same time as Karin-san’s yell, the black mist that was coiling around the treasure chest formed a whirlpool as it turned into a giant sphere.

As it slowly grew bigger, the color darkened.

–Then, there was a white crack in its center.

Some beast’s claws straddled from the interior of the sphere.

Does the Mad Dog have such claws? Rather than dog, these look more like a reptile’s…

Thanks for reading at convallariaslibrary❁ᑕ♡m

The atmosphere quivered once more.

The claws that came out from the crack multiplied.

Then—

“Seriously… Isn’t this a dragon?”

As Frank-san groaned, Karin-san opened her eyes wide as she dumbfoundedly said.

“No, wrong. That is… the divine beast, Leviathan.”

The one showing its face was a creature whose face was similar to a dragon’s. However, its body was closer to that of a Chinese dragon’s rather than a (Western) dragon’s.

From within the opened crack, Leviathan slowly showed itself.

That figure was neither that of a Western dragon’s, nor was it like a Chinese dragon’s.

It had the head of a Western dragon’s and hands with sharp claws, its body continued without feet just  like a serpent’s, and at the end of it, there was a tail that was like a whale’s.

But it didn’t have any sinister air like a monster’s.

If I had to say, it was an existence that seemed to be close to a deity…

“Divine beast…?”

I don’t know, I don’t know such a thing.

Divine beast, is it like a deity’s beast…?

That… Can we even defeat that?

“It’s been quite awhile since I last descended to this land.”

“It spoke!”

When I spoke in surprise, the golden eyes that contained intelligence, looked at me.

“Ho. This is interesting. Blending nicely, huh?”

Blending?

What does it mean?

I thought of asking it, but Karin-san’s voice interrupted.

“Divine beast Leviathan… So, it isn’t just a legend, huh?”

“Legend, huh…? Certainly, during the flow of this eternal time, you could say that I had never descended to this land.”

“The mythical era that existed before the Genesis, the story that was passed in the Elven country… The legend that stated the existence of divine beast, Leviathan, was actually the truth, huh?”

“Oi oi, wait a bit. I had never heard of the era before the Genesis.”

In response to Karin-san’s muttering, Frank-san turned around with a serious expression.

That’s right. The Genesis stated that this world was created by a single god. If there existed any living being before that, then the doctrine that Frank-san had been believing would crumble into a lie.

“During the mythical era, lots of deities resided over this world. But one day, a war between the deities broke out, and this world fell into ruin, and lots of living creatures were all dead. Then, the deities abandoned this land, leaving to the distant land over the sea1. But a single deity took pity on the surviving creatures and remained on the land. The surviving people’s descendants were said to be the fairies.”

“On the first day, God created the fairies from the light that flooded the earth…”

Frank-san recited a verse from the Genesis, and Karin-san nodded.

“That light was probably the [spirits] that had lived in this land during the mythical era. My family’s dance was said to borrow the power from those [spirits]… If the divine beast Leviathan existed, then that legend was actually telling the truth, huh?”

“Indeed. But this body is a temporary figure of mine. Since my name has long been forgotten, I’ve lost my power in this land for quite some time. As of now, I can only manifest myself like this, but… Since I was already summoned like this, this must have been destiny. Do you desire my power?”

Desire its power? What does that mean?

Leviathan floated its body around in the air as it howled.

“If you want to receive my blessing, then you have to prove your power!”

“It’s coming!”

At the same time Ar-niisama’s voice rang, everyone readied themselves.

Translator’s Comment:

Yuuri before this: “Oh, the boss here is definitely going to be easy peasy.”

Yuuri in this chapter: “WTF?!”

I had expected this to happen ever since she thought to herself that it’d be easy to conquer this boss, haha.

What do you guys think?
