Chapter 84 - Godslayer Cannon

Roll out, I say, but I still haven't thought about any way I could defeat that gigantic body made of lava. My most powerful ability is to swallow things whole and dissolve them, but all I can think of when seeing this thing is a person trying to drink a cup of lava and getting their insides melted away by it.

... I have a pretty vivid imagination when it comes to dissolving and melting by now.

Other than that, I'm strongest at physical attacks, which I doubt are going to be useful agains...

Chapter 83 - Magnificent Seven Assemble!

I don't know whether he's aware of the fact that a Crawling Chaos fears fire the most or not, but the fact that he basically turned himself into my bane means I won't be able to eat him. Especially since I know that he's able to cause explosions by pointing at people, so in this form he's most likely much stronger than before.

Why did he die from one spike to the neck and stay down for a long time before, but was able to return right after getting melted and burned up this time?

Maybe it...

Chapter 82 - Flame On

"[Hahahaha I see! My bad!]" Korenga laughs loudly and slaps her thigh after hearing Tahiri's explanation of what I and my children are - though it's not the full story, since she doesn't know what I really look like. I already expected that she would be so laid back, even after she seriously tried to murder us last night and we fought with the intention to kill each other for what felt like an hour. "[But you're really strong. Where did you get your strength from?]"

I'm not that keen on tellin...

Chapter L3 - Here be Sea Dragons

A sea dragon appearing from our front right now is the last thing we needed!

"Where is it?" I hear Morakan ask and the first mate responding that it just appeared over the horizon. Since he's watching from the deck, that must be quite a bit closer than when something is spotted from the crow's nest.

But I don't have time to run to the bow and check it out, I'm occupied with trying to shoot flames that can reach the enemy. Redirecting a volley of crossbow bolts aimed at me using a burst o...

Chapter L2 - Chase at Sea

"Blimey! That thar be some old salt!" Morakan shouts and points his walking stick behind him at the empire's battleship that has been chasing us for the past three days and nights. Due to the fact that the weather has been clear and the half moon is bright over the ocean, they didn't lose us even at night.

Anthera and Nezera have tried assassinations in the dark, but they were unsuccessful in identifying their fire mage at those times, instead only managing to whittle down a few of the soldier...

Chapter L1 - Set Sail!

After the Fall of the Demon Castle

"She is still alive."

It was these words that kept me going.

They keep me going as we brave the waves of the Aurel Sea, crossing the ocean on our way towards the Dark Continent. Due to its geographical location, there are many storms and maelstroms in this region, which is why human ships usually avoid it and prefer to sail on the open sea when coming to the Demon Continent.

With the invasion from the Emp...

Chapter 81 - The Black God

When Tokomaha and I return to where we left Korenga alone a while ago - we kinda forgot the time "hunting" together - we find that there's a pile of dead animals next to her. I wonder why they would keep coming to her, if all they find is death, but maybe that's just part of the Black God's legend or something.

Speaking of Black God, she was in her black skin mode just now, but turns back upon seeing us approach. It must have something to do with how they're lured in, and now I'm really curiou...

Chapter 80 - Tonight We Hunt

No wonder Korenga was caught in her sleep.

Everyone is sitting in the room, wide awake and with bloodshot eyes. Well, everyone who actually needs sleep, which are only Awhina and Mereana. But the others, including me, are sitting around the Black God and staring at her with exhausted irritation. Tahiri has made herself scarce after we returned to the inn, and with good reason.

Korenga is snoring at a volume like a free-running chainsaw, and no matter what we do, we can't wake her up. Her...

Yousai Youjo: Fortress Loli - Prologue

"I am free!"

The deep bass voice of the Lord of Greed resounded across the courtyard from atop his balcony and the soldiers under his command raised their weapons in joyous cheers. They too had heard the voice of god announcing three days ago that they were no longer bound to the place man had banished them to. Now would be the time to conquer the lands and establish their lord's hegemony.

"It is time, my invincible Terror Knights! You shall finally be able to trample the weak underfoot!...

Chapter 79 - Woman of Steel

"[Ugh...]" Mereana's voice from behind me immediately dispels any thoughts of revealing myself here. She's just a human, and I know the effect I have on those; I don't want her to lose her mind, in case I just brought it back from the brink earlier.

"[Mereana! How are you feeling?]" I ask her as she blinks her eyes and looks around. All her physical wounds should be healed, and her mental fortitude should be boosted, so whatever traumatizing events she just survived should s...

Chapter 78 - Sea Witch Rapania

Rapania's sinister smile shows her fearlessness and confidence in facing Tahiri, whom she should know as the God of Storm. Even I haven't laid a hand on her, and I'm fairly certain at this point that I could be regarded in the upper reaches of this world's hierarchy of powerful beings. So where does her confidence come from? Maybe the fact that they have history with each other and that Tahiri might not want to kill her? It's the only explanation I can come up with under these circumstances, sin...

Chapter 77 - Your Princess is in Another...

Rather than undead, they were simply dead. Unlike the zombies and skeletons I instantly annihilated in the mausoleum in Hovsgaerden, these were corpse puppets on invisible magic strings that were unaffected by the light magic that instantly liberates the souls from the undead bodies. And unlike zombies, these seem to have been embalmed using chemicals, so as to preserve their freshness.

In either case, they taste pretty bad.

After eating the first one, I opted to just tear them apart lim...

Chapter 76 - Bewitched City

The village of Iatukat had been emptied as Mereana told us, with the houses left intact but no signs of its inhabitants. When we looked into some of the houses, there was telltale evidence of struggles, but barely any spilled blood. I suppose the villagers had already been rounded up for the most part, and only some dissenters had to be chased down. In either case, there's a clear trail leading away from the village, the grass trampled and bushes cut down to make way for a large number of people...

Chapter 75 - Wah! What are we going to do in the brush?

"[Excuse us for a bit.]" Directing this at the others, I approach Tokomaha with what is most definitely the smile of a killer. She apparently doesn't understand the meaning behind it and glances up at me with a disparaging expression.

"[What do you want, white monkey?]" And she seems to lack the proper instincts of the wild animal she looks like.

Pop pop pop.

"[Kakaka! Good luck, Tokomaha.]" Tahiri laughs at the situation and waves at the little goddess.

"[Huh?]" Bef...

Skypiercer Chapter 1 - The Girl with the Golden Gauntlet

Skypiercer.

The tallest object in the world, the last unexplored frontier, filled with wonders but also dangers, it stands straight like a primordial spear piercing the heavens. Visible from afar, but its upper reaches always hidden from view by an unnatural haze, countless legends have been spun around this structure over many millennia. For the past five hundred years, people have begun in earnest to challenge its staggering heights both on the outside and the inside, but no clues that would...

Chapter 74 - Welcome to the Jungle

It seems that the closest village from Aoranam is called Iatukat, and is three days away when traveling on horseback. That explains why we found rations in the remains of the envoy's saddle that Rangi had ripped off. And it also explains why nobody in Aoranam knew about the existence of that village. They usually only ever ventured out for a day at most, and since they don't have horses, none of those short adventures ever got close to allowing contact with Iatukat.

"[The village is not much l...

Chapter 73 - Prophecies are Bogus

We're sitting in Rangi's home, shortly after the slave troops surrendered and laid down their arms. Outside, the newly armed villagers are keeping watch over the soldiers as they tend to their wounded and clear away their dead. For having lost their comrades, they seem strangely composed - or maybe saying that their sense of loss is dulled from years of witnessing the cruelties of slavery would be more appropriate.

"[So, tell me what this prophecy is about... umm.]" I finall...

Chapter 72 - Aoranam Village Defense

"[Rangi, what will you do now?]" Tahiri mutters to the giant as we look up the hill behind the village. A company of at least a hundred light cavalry is readying itself for a charge into the village.

Despite all that, Tahiri seems really relaxed. Same for Rangi and his family, actually. Well, I'm not too concerned, either. I mean, I alone could take them all, but having one more or less universal god with us means this should be a piece of cake. Provided all of these riders are normal humans. ...

Akashi Records or: How I Learned to Stop Caring and Enjoy the Show

Everything is white.

The last thing I remember is that Satoru noticed how Naoto, the brother of Takeshi and the driver of our van, was reeking of alcohol. When that was pointed out to him, Naoto turned around to us, to assure us that it's alright and that he's used to drunk driving - while going at twice the allowed speed inside the city limits. He actually even let go of the steering wheel to gesture his case, so the outcome was obvious.

Why did I have to learn this way that my friend's...

Chapter 71 - Time for a Timeskip

"[Will you ever get tired of challenging me?]"

"[Never! Not until I win!]"

"[You know that between us there is no winning or losing. You can't hit me and I can't kill you.]"

"[That won't stop me from trying! Now stop talking and fight!]"

"[Hey you two, I prepared some] ignerem."

"[Yay!]"

"[Ah, wait!]"

I sigh and undo my combat transformation before scratching my head. Looking at the defenseless back of Tahiri, I can't help to feel that it's an opportunity to...

Chapter 70 - A Real Faux Pas

"Become girls?" Uten and Saten ask in unison, tilting their heads in mirrored directions. I almost laughed out loud at the sight, but hold myself back, since I have to remain serious and stern right now. After all, they need to be taught a lesson. "How?"

"I see... nobody was there to teach you what you really are... Well, let's start with the fact that we're not gods." Even if by these villagers' definition, we would be considered something like that. "We are from a species called Crawling Cha...

Chapter 69 - It's Still A Sex Thing

"Finally, we get to meet you, mama!"

... come again?

"Hm? You aren't happy to see us, mama?"

"Did we do something wrong, mama?"

They look up at me with tearful eyes and my resistance melts away.

No, wait! I don't remember giving birth! And considering the fact that I only ever had a go at it with Hestia... don't tell me, she got pregnant on the rooftop back then? I pulled out when we did it again on our journey back to the aca...

Chapter 68 - Windwaker

I wanted to move on after the meal, but through many words that I was unable to understand - and much gesturing - Awhina's family was able to convince me to stay. They're going so far as to present me with an increasing amount of food. It seems that this fishing village is far from poor and actually doing really well, to be able to just give out free food to a stranger like this.

Through the villagers' interactions with this family, I learned that Rangi seems to be a figure of importance, as t...

Chapter 67 - Aloha?

My Chaos-senses are tingling.

What, you expected me to become a brooding teen who thinks the whole world should end because I watched my mother die and couldn't do anything about it even though I'm so strong? That I'd never regain my sense of humor and aloof attitude regarding all the fantastical stuff going on around me because of that? Of course I'd get back on my feet quickly, who do you think I am?

Well, to be fair, I did brood and have doomsday thoughts for a while, and all I did wa...

Chapter A11 - After the Chaos

Hestia Side

"She's blocking me out." Senka comments as she turns around to me with a grave expression. "I didn't even know people could do that..."

"Then Onee-sama is still alright?" All I care about now is her well-being. I can feel empathy for the death of her mother later, when I know that she is safe.

"The situation looked pretty dire, and it's clear that she's not in her right mind after..." The doll-like girl trails off and looks down in silence. The...

Chapter 66 - To Dust

 "Senka!" I shout out loud, rather than inside my mind. The stitched girl appears before me in her ghostly form and her expression suggests that something has happened. "Tell me what's going on in the castle!"

"I don't know... I lost contact with Asoko." She responds with an anxious expression. It's rare to see her like this, since she's usually just cynical or sassy, but it just means that the situation over there is quite dire.

"Come here." I wave Aurelia over and my face must be ...

Chapter A10 - Cradle to the Grave

Lenoly Side

Rewera is holding her own against Kanundra, despite the fact that the latter's body seems to be made of lava. The maid leader's fists connect with her body without taking any damage, but it's obvious that Kanundra isn't affected by the punches either. The fire woman's attacks are much slower and she doesn't look like she's used to fighting, so Rewera can easily avoid them. If this is how the two of them keep fighting, it's going to be a stalemate.

Ho...

Chapter A9 - Mighty Clashes

Asoko Side

Zylos is not only too sturdy for weapons and any attacks I can create with my body, but also immune to fire magic, since it just fizzles out the moment it touches his skin. Maybe his power is more akin to heat absorption, and he'll shoot it all out as an energy blast again - like a certain Fourth Wave. But even if he doesn't, I don't think there's anything I can do against him here.

Ninlil looks like she's calmed down again and is cradling her head wh...

Chapter A8 - Of Gods and Demons

Asoko Side

"I am Zylos. They call me Winter's Frost." The blue-skinned boy states with a perpetually sullen expression.

"Never heard of you." I simply respond and snap my free arm around at him. He dodges it nimbly and grabs my wrist after it has passed him. Searing pain runs through it as if it has been scorched by fire, but instead of burns, I see my skin turning purple at his touch. A moment later, my entire hand has become discolored and I'm unable to move m...

Chapter A7 - Castle Crashers

Asoko Side

The first mistake they made was to slaughter the demons right before maou-mama's eyes. She was enraged for the longest time, but at one point her anger seems to have passed a threshold and caused it to loop back into stillness. No longer banging on the translucent barrier, her eyes are fixated on the occurrences below, taking everything in without blinking even once. It means that her revenge will be so much more devastating.

The maids around her have...
