Chapter 487: You’re Very Different
"RARRGH!"
SQUELCH!
Arit roared in anger as she tore the anima’s head clean off its body, and a bloodthirsty smile spread on her lips as she shot towards another anima.
’I’m hungry.’
Shut up! I’m busy right now!
’I’m hungry!’
The QUEEN kept shouting in Arit’s head, and Arit growled in annoyance as she took to the sky again and ignored it! Since Arit could fly, it was easy for her to stay out of the reach of any anima that tried to catch her. She would just come in and attack one of them before taking to the sky again when they tried to get her.
Finally, after killing more than ten anima like this, Arit landed behind Luna and tried to catch her breath as she eyed the monsters surrounding them. That empty feeling was back again. Arit felt like there was a hole inside her body that she couldn’t fill no matter what. What the hell is this?
’I’m hungry!’
Stop. Just stop. I can’t fight with you talking in my head.
Arit begged the QUEEN to keep quiet, and it surprisingly went silent again, finally stopping its distractions. Arit was breathing heavily, and her hands and face were covered in the blood of the anima she had killed, but Luna looked as calm as ever as she gazed around. Arit eyed Luna curiously when she noticed that Luna wasn’t even out of breath.
Luna’s eyes were surveying the region, but Arit could tell that Luna was mostly focused on the three large Eldritch monsters that still hadn’t moved.
"You’re not going all out, are you?"
Sasha decided that sending the smaller Calamities after Luna and Arit was just going to end up wasting her time. The Calamities were strong, but they wouldn’t do much against those two. Sasha put her hand up and called on the large Eldritch-class monsters behind her, grinning as she saw both Luna and Arit tense once the monsters began to move.
All three monsters were huge, towering over everyone at more than ten meters tall! With large, diverse body shapes, it was almost impossible not to be afraid when facing them!
The largest one of them was a massive ape-like anima holding a large wooden club in its hand. It had large, bulging muscles and sharp canines that peaked through its mouth whenever it growled.
The ape was flanked by a large black lion-headed anima with the body of an alligator on the right and a humanoid-looking hippo on the left. Every time the humanoid hippo anima breathed out, plumes of smoke and wisps of fire would come from its mouth, so Arit could guess that it had some fire-based ability.
Arit eyed all three monsters cautiously, knowing that she wasn’t strong enough to win against any of them. If she even tried, she would be squashed before she could get a single hit in! Arit’s anima instincts were at their sharpest now that she had accepted her anima form, so she knew better than to rush into a fight she was already sure she would lose.
PHWOOM!
The entire clearing started to grow colder as a sharp wind picked up in the region! Arit turned to her left and saw Luna with her hands joined together as she glared at the three monsters. Now that Sasha was no longer holding back, Luna decided she was also going to go all out, pouring out mana to start the fight.
ROARR!
ROARRR!
ROARR!
But before Luna could finish whatever she had been planning, loud roars echoed from the remaining Calamity-class monsters around as they charged for Luna and Arit. Since Arit couldn’t help out with the Eldritch, she decided she was at least going to buy Luna time!
"Don’t stop what you’re doing! I’ll distract the smaller ones so you can focus on the Eldritch!"
Arit shouted to Luna as she blasted into the sky towards the approaching monsters. Luna was about to tell Arit not to do anything stupid, but she just grit her teeth and continued gathering her mana for her attack. Luna needed the time!
