Chapter 504 a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar

General adjustment to make the text smoother.

Thanks to last nights Turtle Hotpot, the gluttonous quartet practically leapt out of bed this morning. Obnoxiously cheerful and nearly bursting with energy, they happily munched on their Pork Cutlet Sandwiches was.h.i.+ng everything down with c.o.ke and cider.

The [Ark] was also very energetic and, at their request, had the same meat, meat, meat menu as my familiars.

Feodora-san was poking at her cheek with one finger even as her other hand held her Cutlet Sandwich. Her face had become glossy and plump from last nights collagen feast.

Gaudino-san, Gideon-san and Siegwald-san also looked especially glossy and sparkly today.

It was quite unpleasant.

Wait.

I poked at my own cheek and felt my face stiffen up at the unusual smoothness

Thats right, I also ate Turtle Hotpot yesterday

Ugh, maybe I should restrain from cooking softsh.e.l.l turtles from now on

After breakfast, we boarded [Mizumaru] and set out.

The Dragon Corps also rode with us quietly. There was a slight sense of solemnity as we all followed Fers direction towards the Boss.

A short while later, Fer stopped Sui.

Th-thats

The end of each floor usually meant an encounter with a Boss monster. Occasionally, we would encounter a large number of foes in place of a single powerful monster, but generally, there would be at least one higher-level species of the same type waiting for us.

Right now, in front of us were two large beasts with golden fur patterned with black dots. They were pacing back and forth in front of a cave opening between some overlapping, moss-covered rocks.

That must be the entrance to the next level.

Also, judging from the size of the rocks, the beasts were most likely about 3 meters long, not counting their restless, whip-like tails.

Are those jaguars?

Umu

, a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguars. Master is quick on the uptake, this time.

Oi, whats with the this time?

An incredibly agile monster. Well, nothing that cant be solved with a single Dragon Breath.

I wish you wouldnt say that with every other strong monster, I sighed. I dont think there are any monsters in the world that could not be taken care of with a single Dragon Breath.

Except for me.

Except maybe for Fer.

Hey! Whats with the maybe!?

O-oi, thats a-an actual a.s.sissin Jaguar! said Gaudino-san.

Even the name is too incredible, muttered Gideon-san.

If I remember correctly, they are S Rank monsters. I think I read about them in a book at an Adventurers Guild in the City of Balcarce,

Balcarce, thats close to the Great Forest of Perales, isnt it? said Siegwald thoughtfully.

Aaa

Umu

, I heard that the monsters in that forest are so strong that people call that place the Devils Nest ordinary people cant afford to meddle with the things that live there

To think well have to deal with two creatures from the Devils Nest here

Ahhh, maybe I shouldnt have listened in on their discussion. The more they talk the more nervous I become

Even Fer acknowledged those creatures with a solemn

Umu

, I approve of their agility.

Fer-san? What is there to approve of?!

Hey, so, um, there are two of them are you guys okay?

Phun

, but of course.

Then, I shall unleash my Dragon Breath

Stop it! Stop trying to solve everything with Dragon Breath! Oh my G.o.d! Y-you could collapse the entire dungeon!!!

[1] Exactly, why is it all Dragon Breath with you, huh? You old geezer! Fer gleefully snapped.

Mu

, Dragon Breath is the most powerful attack, so its only natural to use it.

Youre just a boring old geezer, admit it, you old geezer.

Gunununu

,

Hey, hey, stop it, you two!

Master, the Fenrir verbally a.s.saulted me first.

I am merely speaking the truth.

Enough, I dont want to hear it anymore. More importantly, what are you going to do about those two?

While we were arguing, Dora-chan flew over to chime in, Hey, hey, whats this about dragons being obsessed with Dragons Breath? What about me, huh?

Mu

,

Fufun

, not only do I have all kinds of magical skills, but my agility is one of the best out there.

Indeed, Dora-chan is amazing! I agreed.

[2] Which is why,

I

get to fight them.

With that, he flew off towards the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguars.

Ah! Unfair! Sui wants to fight too!

Wait! You two Sui-tan-!!!

Umu

, for opponents of that level, I dont mind giving way to the young ones.

I agree with Fer. a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguars are not worth our time.

[3]

Gununu

, whats with those self-important statements?! How could I just allow my Sui-tan to go alone?! I impulsively grabbed my Mithril Spear from the [Item Box] and was about to charge forward when Fer stepped in my way. Hey!

Its best if Master sit down and watch,

Indeed, especially since the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguars could use magic.

Eh? Magic?

I looked and indeed, one of the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguars was waving its front paw in a none-animal like way, causing the gra.s.s to wave and dance.

Umu

, it is using wind magic.

Is it similar to Fers Claw Slash?

Hmm, it is an imperfect version of it.

Whatever it was, Dora-chan was casually flitting and avoiding the imperfect Claw Slash.

[4]

Hahaha! Missed me! Missed me!

When the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar realised that its attacks were not working, it leapt forward and tried to bite at the rapidly moving Dora-chan.

Nyahahaha!!

Dont just avoid it. Attack! Fer yelled.

Stab!

A pillar of ice struck the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguars back, piercing through its belly.

Gyaooooo

!!!

After that final death cry, it disappeared.

As for Sui

Sui was fighting the other a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar in her regular form.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

However, the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar dodged all her Acid Bullets.

Sui hopped up and down, clearly getting angry.

Why cant I

pew pew

it!

Then, transparent ropes of tentacles burst out of her body and tried to wrap themselves around the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar.

However, the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguars agility was no joke, it quickly dodged all attempts to hold it down.

Muuu

!!

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Finally, the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar miss-stepped and Suis third tentacle caught it by the tail.

Haha~~! Gotchu~~

Sui why do you sound so evil?!

Gauuuu

!!!

The a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar struggled to escape from Suis tentacles.

Hehe~ Sui wont let you go~

The Jaguar bit into the tentacle and shook his head, trying to bite it off.

On other monsters, it might have succeeded in escaping, but his opponent was a Slime with a soft yet incredibly durable and flexible body.

Attacks like this dont work on Sui~~

A tentacle roped around the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguars neck, while another one wrapped around its body. Then, Sui plopped itself on the Jaguars head and submerged the Jaguars head into her body.

Unable to breathe, the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar began to rampage even more. However, its movements soon lessened and eventually, it stopped moving.

Finally, the a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar disappeared, leaving behind magic stones and a set of golden fur with black spots.

Yay~~! Sui won~~!

Sui bounced up and down happily, lifting the Jaguar skin above her head like a prize.

Oho, Sui won too~!!

Ehehehe~

Oh, you got magic stones and skin too

No meat

I guess it cant be helped, this thing doesnt look like itll give out meat.

ah, Sui? When did you learn an attack like that? I asked with a rather cramped look on my face.

Umu

, it is effective, but

Hmm, indeed

For once, the other two also looked a little uncomfortable. I guess Suis suffocation attack was a bit too much for all of us

I put my hands together to pray for the dead a.s.sa.s.sin Jaguar.

As for the [Ark], well, their eyes were kind of distant.

Its not just the Fenrir

S Cla.s.s monsters taken down by a small dragon, and a slime

Its best to never anger Mukouda-san

I will be sensible

Oi, just what kind of person do you think I am?

Also, didnt I already tell you that Sui and Dora-chan are both very strong?

Its not like Ill recklessly kill people even when angered?!

[Gumihou: This world is lucky that Mukouda is a peace-loving guy]

[1] Deleted a whole bunch of aahhhhh panics from Mukouda.

[2] Have Dora-chan be more decisive in grabbing the opportunity to

[3] Rather than have a repeat of Mukouda ordering Fer to help the smaller familiars, have him try to attack instead.
