Local Netizen Elf’s Life In Another World

Case 82: A flashy introduction.

''Fire!!'' Dad shouted.

*BOOM*

*skrrt*

Along with my shot, more than a hundred advanced spells shoot out, piercing the wall of the room cleanly. And because the creature is so large, they hit it all over its body.

The faint sounds of explosions are accompanied by a colorful chain of explosions covering the huge reptile's body. The scene is just like a firework show. A bad firework show. Because it's almost blinding me already.

I should've just kept my sunglasses on... Wait. 

Having a bad feeling, I set up a big sound barrier around us while our mages prepare the next barrage of magic.

As expected, the monster roars once more, or at least that's what I could see after the explosions had died down.

...Oh god, just how many teeth does it have??

''Oh my god.'' Someone muttered.

Yeah, I mean, aside from the teeth, it's unscathed after all. What a tough bastard.

*BOOM*

*skrrt*

I shoot another explosive bullet at its still opened mouth.

Fortunately, it still does a bit of damage. A bit, because the thing is just disgustingly big. But I could see a bit of charring on it's gum, that's good enough. I can at least damage it.

The monster howls again, this time deciding to cast an obscene amount of purple spells to fight back.

''Someone put a barrier!'' William shouted.

''On it!'' Fox Saint replied, pouring her mana to form a huge barrier around the whole palace.

Looks like the paladins scattered across the city are doing their jobs as well. This is one huge barrier.

...I'm still worried about the residence.

I slide the scope to the direction of our residence, fortunately, a separate barrier has already been erected there.

I mean, I did force them to stay home, so they shouldn't be outside now. Hopefully.

Then, the monster's yellow pupils glow intensely. It sends out all its spells at once, causing a rain of purple mana orbs to fall.

After bracing the impact from myriads of spell raining down, we finally get to see the city again.

The big barrier is still up. That's really good.

We got hit the most, probably because of our attack earlier, but our own barrier is still standing strong. Let's check my lovers again... Yup, they're fine. Thank god.

Now we just need to focus on taking this thing down.

''Does any of you have a finisher?!'' I shouted, still aiming inside the scope.

''Not against that thing!'' Stephen shouted back.

''Exactly~!''

Wait, we have a sound barrier already, why do we even need to shout...? 

Whatever.

''Then open its mouth for me, I can do it.'' I said normally this time.

''But how?!''

''You have a way, lass?''

''I do.''

''You're using those?'' Dad said.

''Yes.'' I replied.

''Do as she said. Trust me on this.'' 

'''' ... '''' 

''Fine.''

''I'll trust you.'' 

Thanks, dad.

*skrrt*

I pull the bolt back and take out the current magazine, then I insert the one with the Gungirs in and bolt the gun once more.

''Do it.'' I said.

Another barrage of magic flies towards the monster. It tries to get away, but its speed isn't exactly fast either, so it eats the whole attack again.

Unfortunately, the monster seems to have learned not to reveal its weakness, as it's keeping its mouth shut right now. And it's preparing another attack as well. This is bad.

''Tch, do we need to personally go up there...?'' Stephen clicked his tongue.

''Seems like it, we can't let this thing here for long.'' Dad replied.

''Wait, that's dangerous!'' William said. ''We can't afford to lose you guys either, is there anything else?!''

''There's no other way, I'll go too.'' Bald Saint said.

''...No, wait a second.'' I interrupted them. ''We have a helper.''

'''' Who?! ''''

''A clumsy girl named Eva.'' I said.

Immediately after that, a white, giant hand pierces through the clouds, plunging downwards at the monster.

The size of it is huge, very huge. It's dwarfing even the monster right now. Imagine you grab a slightly smaller fish with your hand, that's what this scene is looking like.

'''' !!! ''''

The hand grasps the head of the monster, two fingers pressing against the sides of its head, forcing the mouth to open. The monster is desperately trying to wiggle its way out, but the hand stays firm, unmoving, even. 

All of the spells that it has been casting somehow got destroyed as well.

Thank you Eva. So you are helpful after all.

*BOOM*

*skrrt*  

*BOOM*

*skrrt*  

*BOOM*

*skrrt*  

Three bullets cleanly lodge into its inner mouth, leaving behind three faint trails of blue.

''Dad, can you take care of its corpse?''

''Sure, I can push it outside the capital, at least.''

''What are you guys on?? That didn't do anything!''

''Are you really sure about this, lass??''

Don't be so impatient.

As if understanding my intention, the hand quickly withdraws, leaving behind faint traces of golden white.

''Try not to blind yourself.'' I said, putting on the sunglasses again.

*snap*

Immediately, three star-like beams flicker inside the monster's mouth, followed by a huge blue explosion, so big that it instantly turns the sky blue again. The light emitting from it is enough to make me cringe my face, even as I'm wearing sunglasses right now. 

Through the glasses, I could see blue flame engulfing the monster's whole body, hungrily devouring any flesh and/or scales on its way.

About a second later, the resulting blast hits our barrier, harder than even the monster's attack earlier, I feel like.

''Dad, please.''

''Roger.'' 

Dad gathers an incredible amount of mana, forms it into a giant ball and throws it at the monster. Or, what remains of the monster.

The explosion dissipates while the orb is still flying, revealing the monster with only its lower half remaining, falling helplessly towards the city.

Urgh... Are those organs dangling there...? Makes me want to puke.

Before the remains can destroy any of the houses below, the orb collides with it, sending it far into the distance and bringing the whole incident to a safe end.

'''' ... ''''

Throwing my gun back to my space bag, I walk in front of the dumbfounded people and give them a V sigh. With my confident smile and my sunglasses, I bet I look really cool right now. Probably.

''...Hah- Hohohohoh! So this is the new Saint! How incredible!''

Thank you, Santa Claus.

''Can I take back what I said before~?'' 

No, you can't.

''Hey, I'm sorry for ruining the good moment, but.'' Beast King said from the side. ''What do we do about this guy?''

What greets us after turning around is the Beast King and the Dwarf King pinning the Crown Prince down with their knees, each holding one of his arms.

''Hm? What happened to him?'' Dad narrows his eyes, apparently noticing something.

''He tried to sabotage you guys earlier!'' Dwarf King said.

''...Bravo.'' A bizarre female voice sounded from the Crown Prince.

'''' !!! ''''

Everyone instantly puts up their guard again. I pull out my D.E as well. 

Seriously, what's going on with voices today? This one sounds like a video game glitch... At least it's not too uncomfortable, I suppose.

''Well done, new Saint. I never thought that you would be this good... I would like to give you a reward, for your effort so far.'' 'Jeremy' lifts his head abruptly, his normally orange pupils now purple and dimly lit.

''Have fun.''

Jeremy's body began to... Crack. Wait, human bomb?!

Shit, do I shoot it? No, it'll just explode... And my portals are not big enough for him. Fuck. I'll leave this to you, dad.

''Not good!'' Beast King shouted, immediately jumping back. Dwarf King also, actually.

''Lucas!'' Dad called out.

''I know!''

Dad uses telekinesis to lift Jeremy's body up.

Following that, two pitch black portal simultaneously appear in the air and eat Jeremy's body whole in a flash. Everything happened in less than a second.

'''' ... ''''

''...W-Where did you send him?!'' The Emperor frantically asked.

Dad silently points to the sky-

*BOOM*

Where a purple explosion can be seen, accompanied by a deafening noise. I really should have kept my sound barrier, now my ears are fucked.

''Unfortunate.'' Someone commented.

''Ah...'' The Emperor kneels down, still staring at the fading gush of purple on the blue sky.

...Rest in pieces.
