Chapter 9: Duel -total war-

Meanwhile, Ichiha and Tomoe were standing on the beach of the faraway island in the Kingdom that housed a secret arsenal.

“If Ooyamizuchi’s route is as I predicted, His Majesty and the others could be fighting it right now... I hope my prediction was right... Please let it be right.”

“Geez, don’t look so glum.” Tomoe pinched Ichiha’s cheek as he was gradually losing confidence. “You’re the foremost expert on monsterology, and everyone worked together to put together the plan. It’s sure to work. You need to believe in yourself and everyone else more.”

“Tomoe...”

“Big Brother will definitely win. I bet Yuriga’s frustrated she can’t watch,” Tomoe said with a chuckle.

Unlike Tomoe and Ichiha, who had been given time off from the Royal Academy at Souma’s request, Yuriga was a stowaway on their voyage, and had been sent straight back to Parnam when they all returned. She was probably buried under a pile of extra homework as a penalty for skipping school right now.

Imagining Yuriga going through that, Ichiha felt some of the tension drain out of his shoulders.

“Yeah... You’re right. They can definitely take out Ooyamizuchi.”

“Yep!”

And so, the two of them prayed for Souma and the others’ success.

Castor thrust his arm forward and ordered, “All hands, prepare for battle! The Hiryuu will now enter phase one of the operation. Our first task is to blow away that meddlesome fog. Send the wyvern cavalry team back out with explosive barrels! Their target is Ooyamizuchi and the area around it!”

“Roger! All hands, prepare for battle! Wyvern cavalry team, head out with bombing equipment! Your target is Ooyamizuchi and its immediate surroundings! I repeat! Your target is Ooyamizuchi and its immediate surroundings! Wyvern cavalry team, head out with bombing equipment!”

Halbert and the others heard the XO’s voice through the speaking tube.

“Okay, men! Let’s do this!”

“““Yeah!”””

The wyvern cavalry team led by Halbert and Ruby took off carrying explosive barrels. They flew in formation as the two fleets watched, heading straight towards Ikatsuru Island.

Ooyamizuchi noticed the incoming fliers, too.

Telepathically, Ruby asked Halbert, “That thing has a dragon-y face. Do you think it can breathe fire?”

“The brass say, ‘probably not.’ A creature needs a certain kind of torso to breathe fire. But, apparently, that thing has an aquatic body,” Halbert explained, mentally reviewing the briefing.

“Then it doesn’t have any attacks that can reach the sky?”

“Dunno... It’s shaped weird, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it has some unexpected way of attacking us.”

That’s when Ooyamizuchi began stretching its head towards the wyvern cavalry team, for some reason.

Noticing it, Halbert got a bad feeling and immediately ordered, “Circle around to the left!”

Following his command, the formation tried to divert to the left, but as they did, Ooyamizuchi opened its mouth and emitted a high-pitched shriek, sending the right side of the wyvern cavalry team flying backwards, as if they had been blown away. A fifth of the team dropped in an instant.

The tailspinning wyverns showed no sign of external injuries, and Halbert could see the riders who had been thrown from their mounts.
