My ‘Deadly Poison: Neurotoxin’ is not something to be dismissed just because they have some poison resistance.
Though the pain might be a bit less than blood poison. The pain would spread through the shoulder blade with a tingling sensation.
There’s no way they wouldn’t notice being bitten.
After all, I’m dangling from that shoulder blade right now.
Chugota’s two heads licked my crown and scalp.
While a wyvern’s head resembles a snake’s, the tongue structure is a bit different.
Rather than a snake’s tongue, it might be more similar to a cat’s tongue.
Wyvern Mom used to lick me just like this.
So, Chugota is licking me like a mother grooming her young.
Why is this three-headed wyvern treating me like this!
“Does it see you as its child?”
‘Why suddenly? Is it crazy?’
I understand Wyvern Mom seeing me as her child.
I did hatch from her egg. She might have mistaken me for an oddly shaped offspring.
But Chugota has no reason to think of me as its child.
Do I look exactly like its children?
“To be honest, being white makes you look more like these ones than that Oblivion Wyvern.”
Of course, Chugota and I shared the commonality of having white bodies.
But mistaking me as its child based on that alone is insane.
“Guuu…”
…Well, Chugota was indeed a crazy wyvern.
So if you’re asking whether Chugota’s embrace felt as warm as a mother’s…
‘I need to pee.’
I was so scared I wanted to wet myself.
For good reason, as Chugota’s condition was far from normal.
Every time she licked my body, it became stained red with blood instead.
Chugota found this strange and kept licking.
“Guu…”
Broken teeth and saliva dropped from Chu’s mouth.
“Glurglurk!”
Go suddenly spewed blood and vomit from its mouth.
Perhaps it was the effect of the neurotoxin I had injected.
Ta, one of Chugota’s heads, had no eyes.
While it seemed to have a brain, strangely it was still alive even though its neck was completely broken.
Ta brought its dangling head close to me in reverse and sniffed.
“Kui, shii…”
It seemed to be smelling me.
It gives me the creeps.
My body trembled.
The fighting spirit I had solemnly resolved to maintain earlier had fled.
The terror peaked when Chugota started making strange sounds.
“Shi…”
“Hi, hi…”
“Te…”
It was definitely different from the growling sounds it had been making until now.
With a ghostly appearance, it made sounds like a ghost would make.
“Shii, hii…”
“Te…”
It seemed to speak almost simultaneously.
Or maybe those three syllables formed a single word.
“Shi… hii… te.”
Is it language?
Is it speech?
As someone who gained language ability as a reincarnation perk, I should be able to understand it.
But I couldn’t make any sense of it.
At that moment, Pelerian shouted.
“It sounds like Oboe!”
‘Obo-what?’
“Oboe language, you know, that ancient language.”
Ancient language?
Now that I hear it’s an ancient language, somehow I feel like I understand it.
“Shihi…te.”
If you connect the syllables that all three of Chugota’s heads speak simultaneously.
I could try to translate it literally.
“Shi…hite…”
My…child…
Kyaaaaaak!
Understanding the meaning made it even more terrifying.
Perhaps sensing my fear.
My real mother, no, not the real one.
Anyway, Wyvern Mom returned.
“Kugagagagak!”
She pounced on Chugota and wildly slashed with her claws.
“Kuooo!”
“Kaark!”
Chugota fiercely resisted.
Thanks to Wyvern Mom’s surprise jet kick, I was able to escape from Chugota.
Tak.
As soon as I landed on the ground, I looked back.
Only then could I grasp the situation.
Wyvern Mom, who had flown off carrying the three siblings, had returned to save me.
But wait, I had even used gigantification to buy time for her to escape with the children.
Wouldn’t this make my efforts to buy time meaningless?
“To it, you must look like the smallest and weakest baby, what can you do?”
Right, things in this world don’t always work according to logic.
Rationally speaking, saving the three siblings would have been the right choice, but it can’t be helped.
“Pipipi-”
“Kke!”
The Pikchu triplets are also crying out in support of their mother.
The problem was that Chugota remained strong even in such an injured state.
It easily shook off Wyvern Mom who was desperately clinging to it.
“It seems to have some self-healing ability. Such vitality to not die even with a broken head.”
Indeed, its body seemed to have improved rather than when it was initially hurt by the golem.
Chugota’s gaze remained fixed on me throughout all this.
“Shi” “hi…” “te…!”
My child! Chugota came charging with heavy steps.
Crawling on its wings like front legs, it looked just like an alien.
“Saang!”
I fled while screaming an unseemly scream.
Wyvern Mom tried to shoot beams at Chugota and bite its tail, but it was useless.
She couldn’t stop Chugota as it crawled like a spider, wadadada.
Right, it’s better if Chugota focuses on me.
That way, the triplets on Wyvern Mom’s back would be a bit safer.
I had no choice but to head back toward Pelerian’s dungeon.
There stood the golem maintaining its three-part fusion.
It glared at us while maintaining a certain distance.
Looking sturdy like a gatekeeper.
Only the golem can stop Chugota.
Come on, get this scary wyvern away from me.
I was approaching with such thoughts when.
“Wait.”
Pelerian warned me like that.
Suddenly, Isil, who had been quietly staying with me, spewed hellfire in front of me.
And I.
Thump.
A feeling like my heart would drop.
This is unmistakably the activation of a survival response.
All I could do was bounce my body away.
And use the skill I could activate fastest.
「Using Heavenly Thunder Spirit lv1.」
Isil, you’ll have to endure a little shock.
I think grass-type Pokémon were weak to electricity. I’m a bit worried.
Zzzzzap!
The lightning strike was blinding.
But fortunately, neither Isil nor I were directly hit by the lightning.
