All the jelly blobs converged in one spot and transformed into a large, sea angel-like creature towering above them while releasing an ear-piercing shriek.
"Krrriiiiiiiiiiii!!!!"
"Graa," Tohru, seeing the creature, growled back.
Rihito looked at the thing and remembered, "Fuck, I almost forgot that thing was here."
Some time ago, after he destroyed the demon castle and battled the Apostle, he decided to stop relying on his anime knowledge. Since he had just altered an upcoming major event and might change more, that knowledge would no longer be particularly useful. Moreover, he was only familiar with the storyline up to season 2, which, in the grand scheme of things, wasn't much.
The transformed sea angel opened its mouth and launched a large blob shaped like a mouth with fangs that tried to devour us.
Tohru, in response, started to charge a breath and fired it.
"Shit!" Rihito, seeing the power of the attack, cursed.
"Everyone, get down," I warned.
Hearing him, everyone ducked as Tohru's breath smashed against the barrier, surged through the gelatinous mouth, directly struck the main body, and created a large, deep hole in the ceiling.
BOOOOM!!!
The entire cavern trembled as the sea angel was shattered into pieces, splattering everywhere.
Hajime, recovering, stood up and looked around. Those jelly blobs were still moving. He clicked his tongue. "It's not over yet."
As soon as he said that, the geltona's substance started to merge and form back into its Sea Angel form.
"That thing can regenerate," Kaori was astonished.
"The attack didn't even put a scratch on it," Shizuku gasped, feeling a cold sweat.
Tio, analysing the situation, suggested, "Master, fighting it will be a lost cause if it keeps regenerating. We have to defeat it in another way."
"I know, but I don't see any mana core in its body," Hajime said, scanning the Sea Angel.
While they were figuring out the situation, I talked with Tohru.
"What the hell were you thinking, firing that attack?" Rihito reprimanded.
"I-I am sorry," Tohru, in remorse, bowed her head.
"Tsk," I clicked my tongue, looked at the ceiling, and saw a huge amount of water heading this way. [We don't have much time.]
"Hajime, we can't stay here; we have to get out of here," Rihito said, staring at the hole in the ceiling.
Hajime grunted, "I know that, but I don't think that thing will make this easy."
Just as he said that, the whole cavern started to shake.
Hajime looked at the ceiling. "Things just keep getting worse and worse."
From the ceiling, a large amount of water gushed out, pouring just above the sea angel and flooding the cavern.
"Ah? Rihito, there's water coming," Shea anxiously asked.
The sea angel, recovering, completely ignored the water, considering it merely an advantage for its attack. It then unleashed multiple barrages of tentacles.
Yue, seeing the incoming attack, casts Hallowed Ground, her strongest defensive spell.
Rihito, noticing that the cave was filling with water, cast a spell, "Frozone." The instant he said that, all the water in the cavern froze, including the water flowing in from the ceiling.
He then looked at everyone. "The ice will buy us some time. All of you, distract the jelly blob. I have a plan."
Hajime nodded, trusting Rihito.
Shea, hoisting Drucken on her shoulder, said, "Leave it to me."
Shizuku reads her Katana, "We will take care of it."
"Master, I will not disappoint you," Tohru said with determination.
Yue and Tio nodded, "Leave it to us."
While everyone was confident, Kaori seemed a bit off, saying, "I will do my best," which didn't go unnoticed. But right now, it was not the time.
Yue used her Barrier to block the attacks, while everyone else used their long-range spells and weapons to buy some time.
Rihito made some distance from the group and used a fire spell to clear a portion of the ice. As soon as the ice melted, the water started to slip between cracks to the floor beneath it. "Found it."
BOOOM!!!
Rihito immediately clenched his fist and smashed the floor, creating a large hole in the already damaged surface. There, he spotted a turbulent current flowing deeper.
"If my memory is not wrong, this should be the way. "Rihito glanced below.
Rihito then got up and assessed the situation, observing Hajime and the others unleash their attack on the sea angel and defeating it once more. However, the sea angel regenerated again and began to attack once again.
He then focused on the ceiling and saw that the ice was cracking and melting. "It won't last too long." It took only a second for him to observe.
"All right, guys, this way, I called out.
Hearing my voice, Hajime and the others gathered around me.
The sea angel watches its prey fleeing, pursuing it while bombarding it with its tentacles, gradually eroding Yue's barrier.
Rihito then casts his own barrier, giving Yue some breathing time.
"Hurry, get in there," I ordered, pointing them towards the hole.
Shea, Tohru, Yue, and Tio, nodding, trusting me, jumped in.
Kaori and Shizuku hesitated, fearful of the turbulent water. They likely wouldn't survive in it.
Hajime nodded at me, grabbed Kaori, hoisted her on his shoulder, and jumped in.
"Eh? Hajime, what are you doing?"
"Kyaaa!!"
Shizuku, seeing them vanish into the water, had a cold sweat. She then thought, [Will Rihito…]
Before she could finish that thought, she found herself in a princess carry.
"Huh?" Shizuku was confused for a second.
"Shizuku, it's not the time to be confused." I looked at her with amusement.
"Take a deep breath and hold on to me tightly."
"Ok," Shizuku nodded.
Rihito, preparing to jump, halted for a moment.
"Yeah, before I go, here's a present," Rihito said, looking at the sea angel with a smile.
Rihito first used his mana skin to cover both himself and Shizuku. Then, a blazing, rotating fire orb appeared in his right hand. Its heat soon exceeded 700 degrees, easily melting the remaining ice, evaporating the water pouring in, and melting the surrounding rocks.
Right then, the sea angel broke through the barrier, shrieked, and attempted to capture us.
Shizuku, seeing the worsening situation, urgently said, "We have to get out of here."
I nodded at her and then smiled sinisterly at the sea angel, "Good luck surviving that."
He threw the fire orb and jumped, escaping from the cavern.
The sea angel tries to pursue, but the fire orb heading its way sends out alarms. It instinctively knew that if it got hit by that, it would be done for.
Realising the danger, the sea angel created an opening in its stomach, allowing the fiery orb to pass through. Missing its target, the orb continued straight and plunged into the water, crashing from above.
Rihito, holding Shizuku tightly, followed one of the water currents, searching for a way out. Soon, in front of him, he found multiple tunnels. Just when he was pondering which path to follow, suddenly, an explosion was heard shaking the whole labyrinth.
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
Following the explosion, a large amount of steam followed, pushing them into one of the tunnels.
Rihito raced through the tunnel, trying to escape the steam. Eventually, he spotted a light at the end of the passage. Once he emerged from the tunnel, he found himself in open water. Quickly, he flew out of the water just as a steam explosion erupted behind him.
BOOOM!!!
Shizuku finally gets out of the water and takes a deep breath.
"We are finally out," Shizuku sighed in relief.
"So where are we?" She said, looking around.
Rihito pondered and looked around. "I don't know exactly, but it's inside the labyrinth," he said, smiling.
Shizuku sighed, hearing his answer, "Why do you always have to answer like that?"
"Because it's funny," Rihito continued to smile.
"Well, we should take a break," Rihito said, flying down and landing on the island.
"You know, it's really astonishing that such a massive place is inside a Labyrinth," Shizuku said, taking in the place that looks like a tropical island.
"Well, that's ancient magic for you. Everything inside this labyrinth is possible because of ancient magic." Rihito said, looking at the forest.
Shizuku walked beside Rihito, looked ahead, and said, "Let's go."
