Bundled hearts

Holy beast wisdom ceremony <Choujuugiga> is a skill first appeared in 『Beast Fantasy 10』

As usual, it’s a future technique

.

『10』 was the first title in the series to utilize online element, so they came up with various ways to let fellow users cooperate with each other. <Choujuugiga> is one of them

.

A sink-or-swim killer technique that used holy wisdom aura of all party members

The more friends there are, the stronger its power is. Therefore it’s important to have many party members

.

Serious users can make progress against hard battle by arranging the whole party with lots of recovery item, then use <Choujuugiga> against all bosses

.

It’s said to be an indispensable skill for speedrunners

.

『To think I would have to use it here……!?』

.

However, after considering everything, there is no other method to escape the current danger

.

『Everyone, stand behind me! Then touch me and send your holy beast aura!』

『Roger!』

.

Forte, Selen, Saraka, Gashi, Seki, Rei. Everyone puts their hands on my back

.

In front of us, Grey Ryuuga is desperately trying to stop Yomotsushikome’s advance

.

『<Ferocious dragon burst>!! OOOOOOOoooh!!』

.

Even the new ultimate skill of the empire’s first rank, which is stronger than my <Sonezaki Shinjuu> in pure power, can only stop Ninetails’ 8th tail from moving at most

.

『Ooooh!? Jirat, you are not done yet!? It has been too long already!!』

『I need to connect the paths one by one! Hold it down a bit longer!』

.

I have never thought I would use <Choujuugiga> in this world

Being entrusted with other people’s holy beast aura equals to being entrusted with their hearts

.

Fusing beast nature and the sacred wisdom

It’s easy to say so, but just like 『Motion』 and 『Stillness』, combining 2 contradictories is impossible by nature

.

Although everyone borrows  holy wisdom aura from Tanu-sage, it’s also a miracle that they were able to fuse them smoothly

.

They were able to control their composure and passion because everyone has different interests in their hearts

.

Gashi think about his family who lived in the same slum

Rei is dedicated to the nobles

.

There are reasons to cleanse one’s mind beyond their respective interests

.

Together with the power of holy beast aura, their feelings flowed into my heart

Everyone, I’m deeply moved

.

I’m happy that in order to help me, they rushed without looking back

.

『Grey Ryuuga! It’s OK! The preparation is done!』

『You have made me wait too much!』

.

Just as Grey Ryuuga stopped using his killer technique, the pitch black giantess rushed in through the passage

.

Ragou star Yomotsushikome

.

A godlike monster that couldn’t be defeated with human’s power

.

『Grey Ryuuga, come! Your power is also necessary to defeat that!』

『Hey, you are too troublesome, you know!』

.

While doing a back jump, Grey Ryuuga extends his hand backward and grabs me

With this, the path between him and me is connected

.

The enemy is god. It’s not an opponent that can be defeated unless all the mortals opposing it muster all of their strength

.

『Cornered Rat』 Jirat

『Informative Rabbit』 Sekito

『Chivalrous sheep』 Gashiep

『Horse Warrior』 Reinight

『Vagrant monkey』 Sarakasar

『Adoration wolf』 Ulforte

『Merry Ox』 Selentaura

『Emperor Dragon』 Grey Ryuuga

.

Combining everyone’s power……!!

.

『Holy beast wisdom ceremony <Super beast’s fang of justice (Choujuugiga)>!!!!』

.

A gigantic flash that filled our visions was fired from my hand

A pale light color

That’s the holy beast aura filled with everyone’s feelings

.

The strongest monster of darkness of this world was swallowed by the flash and vanished

.

◆

.

I lost my consciousness

.

Perhaps I have fainted

Only for a moment

.

「D……, did we win?」

「We are still alive……!?」

.

My comrades are all standing unsteadily while checking the surrounding

.

Everyone had released holy beast mode and returned to the normal state

It’s natural. Because <Choujuugiga> fired off using all of our holy beast aura

.

「Ohh!?」

「What is this!?」

.

Everyone was shocked and raised their voice at the scene in front of them

.

A black gigantic hole

.

Through the wall of 『Infinite lost hall』, there is a huge hole at the horizon that even a giant elephant can go through easily

The hole was long and deep without end

.

「This was caused by Jira……!?」

「No, by everyone?」

.

It’s not like it was done by me alone though?

.

Our current location, the 『Infinite lost hall』 is a subspace created by Hakukyoku Tenko

I have said this multiple times already

.

That’s why even if we released a super extra powerful attack, it only made the distorted space more distorted

.

If we released it in a normal space, the map would have to be rewritten……

It’s horrifying to imagine if there is a human settlement at the shooting direction

.

「Really, I’m glad that we shot it in this dungeon!!」

『Don’t “I’m glad” here, you big idiot』

.

The moment we felt the heat haze, a beauty appeared before us

It’s the fox with shiny golden fur, Hakukyoku Tenko

.

「Hiii!? You came already!?」

『I though you are just a human so I let you fire off as you liked……! You are the first one to make my comfortable stronghold collapse like this. How are you going to compensate!?』

「I absolutely won’t reimburse!!」

.

It’s your fault for releasing that bad monster!

If we didn’t do that, we would be swallowed by darkness and vanished instead!!

.

『Well, seeing your full power is already acceptable……Then, what will you do next?』

「Eh?」

『I mean, will you continue?』

.

Everyone froze due to Hakukyoku Tenko’s words

.

『Look at my back. There is one tail remaining, right? That is my genuine last subordinate. The tail where Keito star <Ketu> dwells』

.

How much despair do her words bring to my comrades?

.

Everyone, including me, doesn’t have any power left to fight

<Choujuugiga> has consumed everything

.

After defeating a monster that can’t be defeated unless we used such a skill, they were immediately be informed about an even stronger enemy without any time to rejoice

.

Most people will have their hearts broken here

.

「……Don’t underestimate us」

.

Said Grey Ryuuga

.

「We, the Twelve Apostles are the empire’s strongest. We are willing to break our knees for that pride! Even if there is only one member remained, we will continue!」

「Right right! We will grant Onii-chan’s wish!!」

.

.

Even Selen

.

The first and third rank are working together to show the will to resist

Showing our unyielding hearts

.

Witnessing that, Hakukyoku Tenko……。

.

『……Hmm』

.

Laughed daringly

.

『Then, I will recognize it. You people have passed the trial of me, Hakukyoku Tenko』

「Hah?」

『That’s the story, right? It was imposed by that shitty tanuki, but it’s certainly a trial imposed to human by me, a Tenko. You have repelled Ragou star. If this continues, it won’t be called a trial anymore as we would seriously trying to kill each other』

.

The tone is filled with 『It’s shameless for an adult to be serious against children』, but I can also feel a slight feeling of satisfaction within

.

『Moreover, considering your goal, you can’t fight this, right? After all, you wish for this so much that you have challenged me, Hakukyoku Tenko』

「W, what do you mean!?」

.

Everyone is confused

It can’t be helped, because other than me, no one know the circumstance

.

「The remained ninth tail is the goal of this battle」

.

I said

.

Hakukyoku Tenko’s ninth tail, the last and the strongest tail carrying the power of Keito star <Ketu>. The person who the tail transformed into went by the name of Kuzuha and led the protagonist Raiga around by the nose, and finally joined in marriage

.

The ninth member of Ninetails
