Behemoth's Pet

Chapter 112.2: Clash! Holy Power Vs Demonic Power

The high pressured breaths clashed with each other in midair and exploded.

The explosion sent forth a shockwave that shook Nidhogg and forced Vassago to desperately cling to Nidhogg’s back.

On the contrary, Aria had received 《Divine Protection of Lion King》 buff from Tama, and she didn’t even flinch from Tama’s back despite receiving the same amount of shockwave.

The clash of breath attack between Tama’s Behemoth third form and Vassago’s enhanced summoned beast, Nidhogg, ended up in a draw… Or not, Tama was slightly more powerful.

The most powerful breath attack of an S-rank monster was more powerful than Vassago’s enhanced summoned beast.

『Guh… I’m not done yet! Nidhogg, use my mana and show those cretins a real fear!』

One of the Four Demon Dukes wouldn’t easily fall.

Vassago used his own mana to enhance Nidhogg’s breath attack, and Tama’s 《Flame Howling》 started to get pushed back.

『Take that, Elf! This is the power of one of the Four Demon Dukes! I’ll spare your life if you fall back now, you know?』

Vassago wanted to obtain the Philosopher’s stone as soon as possible, so he made such a proposal to Aria.

Hearing that, Aria just smiled. She then pointed the tip of Tempest Bringer to the sky.

And then, she replied―

「Since you’re offering this kind of proposal, let me guess… you have no other trump cards left, right?」

And then…

『!!!!!』

Vassago was at a loss for words upon hearing Aria’s reply. As soon as he saw her smile, he felt a chill run down his spine.

So he spread his hands, displayed the projection of a city dyed in purple color, and started the preparation to escape to the spirit realm.

However, at that moment, Aria’s scream resounded in the sky above Lumilus.

『EX… CALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!』

She brandished Tempest Bringer while screaming the name of her skill.

A torrent of silver light gushed out from her knives’ blades.

Her attack combined with Tama’s 《Elemental Howl》engulfed Vassago along with Nidhogg.

『Imp-possible… This great me… lost to a girl and a beas―』

Vassago muttered in disbelief as the silver light continued to swallow his beast. And before he could finish his word, he vanished from this world.

『Vassago-sama… lost?』

『RETREAT! RETREAAAAAAAAAAAAT!』

The demon race army, who also saw the battle in midair, fell to their knees when they saw the scene of the silver light swallowing Vassago.

The other demon race commanders who had guessed that they had been defeated sent an order to retreat.

「YOU COWARD! STOP RIGHT THERE AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!」

「It might become a problem later if we let them escape, nyan! HUNT THEM DOWN TO THE LAST MAN NYAN!」

Led by Vulcan and Stella, the other warriors began their pursuit to annihilate the monsters and demon race, who were just about to flee.

「Good job! Tama, Aria!」

「Fufufu, that power is really powerful… Just like the first hero and the sacred beast.」

Prince Julius praised Tama and Aria for their show against Vassago, while Alisha, who knew about Tama’s secret and had devised a training menu that would awaken Aria’s, let out an impish smile.

「THEN! Here’s to our victory against Vassago’s army and for protecting this city!」

「「「To our victory」」」

Everyone toasted to their victory. On the night of the battle, a banquet was being held in Lumilus’s plaza, led by the strongest, musclehead receptionist, Arnold Hwarzenegger.

It wasn’t only the guild here. Basically, the entire city was in a festive mood, and they all had left their houses to celebrate their army’s victory.

「I saw your battle, Aria-chan, Tama-chan! That was truly a splendid battle!」

「I’m shocked, you know. I mean, I’m no longer your match when it comes to firepower.」

Arnold and Cedric went to find Aria and Tama with a mug of beer in their hand.

「It’s embarrassing when you two give so much praise to us.」

「Nya~n!（You’ve become powerful, Master. This knight(pet) is proud of you）!」

Seeing Aria being bashful, Tama rubbed his head on her cheek while raising an adorable cry.

When they saw this scene, Stella, who struggling to stuff her mouth with meat, Vulcan, who was having a drinking bout with Dany and others, Lily and Faeri, who frolicking around the sweets, all muttered, 「「「SO CU~TE!!!」」」.

「That was a splendid battle, both of you. It’s all thanks to you guys that won this war.」

「I never expected that the kid who was miserably screaming during the training a while ago has become this powerful.」

Prince Julius and Beelzebub praised Tama and Aria with gentle smiles on their face. Aria’s face flushed red upon hearing the praise from those two people of great power.

「Since you’ve become so powerful right now, I think it’s just the right time to give you a moniker. Let’s see… 〝Holy Blade? for Aria-chan and 〝Sacred Beast? for Tama-chan?!」

Alisha, who sat next to Aria, spoke while smiling at the two. Aria replied, 「A-A nickname from Alisha-sama herself!」. She stuttered since she couldn’t handle the shock of receiving a nickname from her idol.

Howard, Dany, Kenny, and Marietta also supported Alisha’s proposal. 「That’s cool, right!」「Yup, that’s moniker suit you the best!」「Holy Blade and Sacred Beast」「CHEERS!」

The other adventurers and knights also joined in and gave a toast.

Good liquor, delicious food, and comrades-in-arm, there was nothing better than those three to celebrate a victory. Just like that, the party went on till morning.
