Chapter 435: The Calamity Awakens
The Reincarnated Extra
The Calamity Awakens
* * *
Zuz⦠zuzu⦠zuzuzuzuâ¦!
The body of Calamity Humidafai gradually rose from the ground, violently shaking the bottom of the Eserem Sea of Fog.
>>
Kobdalian gasped at the true form of Humidafai, finally revealed in its entirety after slowly rising.
It was⦠as he thought⦠a turban shell.
But⦠it was even larger than he imagined.
The shell that had been exposed on the ground was just the tip of this Calamity, and its whole body was as large as a rocky mountain.
âââBUSHUWAWAWAWA~!!! âââ
Humidafai, completely emerging from the ground, simultaneously and forcefully released fog from the tips of the many spines protruding from its shell, and thenâ¦
â¦It started extending its main body from beneath its shell⦠towards the corpses of the Kobudai warriors!
Its speed is slow.
But⦠for a snail, itâs fast!
Slowly, like an approaching wave, Humidafaiâs body extended and spread, covering the corpses of the Kobudai warriors.
And apparently, Humidafai can digest and absorb prey on the spot, after enveloping them with its body, and a sizzling sound, like the corpses of the Kobudai warriors being digested, could be heard from all around.
Itâs like a carpet of hell!
Kobdalianâs face turned pale at the horrifying sight.
>>
On the other hand, the surviving Black Kobu warriors are overjoyed.
Clan Chief Kobdarokâs plan was a complete success, and the Black Kobu Tribe has gained an overwhelmingly powerful force in Humidafai.
Now everything will go their way.
Kobudai, octopuses, sharks!
All will bow down to the Black Kobu Tribe!
The Black Kobu warriors, mimicking Kobdarok, laughed vulgarly, danced the Kobudai victory dance, with the sound of the warriorsâ corpses dissolving as background music!
But the next moment!
Byunn!!
With the sound of something cutting through the air, a harpoon-like part shot out from Humidafaiâs body, covering the ground, and pierced through a Black Kobu warrior!
>>
The Black Kobu warrior, pierced by Humidafaiâs harpoon, just muttered that, dumbfoundedâ¦
â¦And then, pulled towards Humidafaiâs main body with tremendous forceâ¦
â¦Was thrown into a hole that opened up, like a mouth⦠devoured, and died.
The name of this harpoon is âRadulaâ.
Humidafai can control countless of these weapons that cone snails possess.
>>
>>
>>
The Black Kobu warriors, witnessing this horrifying tragedy, finally realized what was happening when they heard the sizzling sound coming from the spot where the Black Kobu warrior was devoured.
And they panicked, trembling in fear.
But itâs too late.
Too late.
Even living Black Kobu warriors are nothing more than sacrifices to Humidafai.
They should have realized that sooner.
Humidafai was watching.
With countless eerie eyes, floating and rolling on its body, it was watching the fresh fish swimming in the air.
Theyâve already been⦠locked onâ¦
Byu-byu-byunn!!
Dos-dos-dosuu!!
The next moment, most of the Black Kobu warriors, and the Blue Kobu warriors, were pierced by the simultaneously launched radulae, pulled towards Humidafaiâs body, devoured, and died.
>>
Humidafaiâs appetite is bottomless.
Any creature reflected in its countless eyes is a target for this Calamity.
Naturally, Kobdarok, the Clan Chief of the Black Kobu Tribe, who was still dodging and fleeing from Humidafaiâs radulae, was no exception.
>>
Clang!
Clang, clang!
Kobdarokâs scales, as thick as rock, are tough, and were able to repel even the Calamityâs radulae.
But thatâs only at first.
After being repeatedly pierced by the radulae, his scales finally shattered.
And the Calamityâs harpoon pierced his body.
Dosu!!
Dos-dos-dosuu!!
>>
Kobdarok screamed, his mouth wide open in pain as the radulae repeatedly gouged his body.
The Sealing Starfish he was holding⦠dropped to the ground.
>>
And just like that, he, like the other Black Kobu warriors, was dragged to the ground with tremendous forceâ¦
>>
Leaving those last words⦠he was devoured by Humidafai.
* * *
Meanwhile, Kobdalian is still alive.
Apparently, Humidafai prioritized hunting down the Black Kobu warriors who were swimming in the air, and put off devouring Kobdalian and the others who were lying on the ground.
But that grace period seems to be over now, with Kobdarok, who was the last one to flee, being devoured.
Humidafaiâs body was extending towards Kobdalian again, slowly.
>>
Kobdalian gritted his teeth in frustration.
He hasnât just been lying around doing nothing this whole time.
He was desperately absorbing the mana in the air, using it to heal his wounds.
But this self-healing isnât easy.
Combined with his lack of mana, he still needs a few more minutes to be able to move.
And yet, Humidafaiâs body is approaching himâ¦
>>
Kobdalian, enduring the terrifying fear of death that made him want to scream, tightly closed his eyes.
The next thing heâll feel is probably a burning pain, as heâs dissolved by Humidafai.
Thatâs what he thought.
Butâ¦
â¦His expectation was overturnedâ¦
Thump.
Kobdalianâs body was sent flying several meters with a strong impactâ¦
Only a few meters, butâ¦
â¦He was distanced from Humidafaiâs body.
>>
Kobdalian opened his eyes in surprise.
And what he saw wasâ¦
Despite being charred black and staggeringâ¦
â¦Standing in front of Humidafai, as if to protect Kobdalianâ¦
â¦Was Kobdacleva.
It seems that Kobdalianâs body was⦠knocked away by him, with a body slamâ¦
>>
>>
Kobdacleva, looking back at Kobdalian, who asked with a dumbfounded expression, stared at him.
Kobdacleva is even more battered than Kobdalian.
Itâs a miracle that heâs even able to stay afloat.
Heâs in such a state.
Even speaking is a chore.
Therefore, he couldnât answer Kobdalianâs question logically, as he usually does.
He didnât have the time, the stamina⦠anything.
Soâ¦
After staring at Kobdalian with eyes filled with complex emotions⦠hatred, affection, contempt, and respectâ¦
He said a single wordâ¦
>>
And just like that, he collapsed to the groundâ¦
â¦And was swallowed by Humidafaiâ¦
>>
Kobdalian, now the last Kobudai warrior, muttered to himself, desperately trying to heal his body.
And then, he got up unsteadily, and floated into the air.
He recovered enough to be able to do that.
But thatâs all.
He still canât move quickly.
If heâs hit by a radula, heâll die instantly.
He doesnât have the stamina to run away either.
But even so, Kobdalian hasnât given up.
The fighting spirit in his eyes still burned brightly.
Because heâs a warrior.
He now has one more thing he has to carry on his back⦠live, and carryâ¦
He canât die here⦠meaninglessly!
But sadly, even though he holds that determination in his heartâ¦
â¦Thereâs nothing Kobdalian can do right now.
Heâs trying to recover his stamina, retreating as fast as he can, but he soon runs out of breath and canât move.
>>
The distance between him and Humidafai is closingâ¦
Kobdalian cursed, sweating, and thenâ¦
>>
He screamed!
At the same time, a radula shot out from Humidafai!
Itâs extending towards Kobdalianâs head⦠only a few moments before it takes his lifeâ¦!
Butâ¦!
â¦It was at that moment!
Zudonn!
With that soundâ¦
â¦Stepping on the radula, stopping it, standing as if to protect Kobdalianâ¦
â¦A black creature⦠fell before Kobdalianâs eyes!
A creature with two legs and two arms!
With black hair growing from its head and black eyes!
>>
Yes!
Itâs that eerie, humanoid monster⦠that Kobdaroze risked his life to hold back!
>>
ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â
The monster remained silent in response to Kobdalianâs involuntary question.
It just stared at Kobdalian, emitting a jet-black haze, like steam, from the gaps in its jet-black scales (thatâs how the Kobudai perceive it).
And then, casuallyâ¦
>>
â¦It lifted Kobdalianâs giant bodyâ¦
â¦And threw it⦠with all its might⦠towards the outside of the giant hole!
>>
After confirming that Kobdalian, flying with a pathetic cry, was out of sightâ¦
ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â
This monsterâ¦
â¦Noâ¦
â¦Emi Rune, the traveler!
â¦Faced Calamity Humidafai, the super giant turban shell that continues to extend and spread its body⦠and clenched both her fists!!
* * *
But why did Emi, who should have been buried under the cliff, appear in this forbidden grounds and save Kobdalian?
To tell that story, letâs go back in time a little bit next timeâ¦
The protagonist⦠has appeared!!
