“Tch!?”
I placed the Jet-Black Shield Caspary on the ground, exposing my defenseless self.
The Gigantospriggan, peeking through the gap between its fingers, must not have expected this, as it wore a dumbfounded expression.
Well, it’s understandable that it wouldn’t comprehend, since it’s desperately protecting its weak point, while I’m exposing my vulnerable self.
So, what are you going to do?
Continue protecting that eyeball and ignore me, who you could kill with a flick of your finger?
Surely, you wouldn’t be so pathetic.
“Grrr!”
Haha, did it think I was mocking it? Its face turned bright red as it charged at me.
And so helpfully exposing its weak eye.
The Gigantospriggan clasped its massive hands together, raised them high, and slammed them down towards me.
But… I’ve been waiting for this moment.
“Caz! Now’s the time! Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Take this! Snatch!”
Unable to stop its momentum, the Gigantospriggan wore an expression of astonishment.
Of course, Caspary’s jet-black claws, having waited for this moment, wouldn’t miss the weak eye.
“Gugooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!?”
With its single eye slashed to pieces, the Gigantospriggan finally let out a voice… a scream.
That’s right… the Jet-Black Shield Caspary can only retain its original form and unleash Snatch with my SP.
That’s why I pretended to put the Shield on the ground and distance myself from it, but in reality, I was still touching it and continuously supplying SP to Caz.
Thanks to that, the Gigantospriggan was completely fooled.
However, the massive hands, swung down with great force, didn’t stop and were closing in on me… but.
“Oops.”
There’s no way I’d get hit by an attack from the Gigantospriggan, which is many times slower than Sandra’s attacks. I moved away from the Jet-Black Shield Caspary, which I was only touching with my toes, and jumped back. The fist slammed into the ground, causing a tremor.
At the same time, the Gigantospriggan fell forward.
“Hal!”
Amidst the swirling dust, Caspary, unable to maintain the form of the Jet-Black Shield Caspary due to the separation, returned to her kitten form and leaped towards my chest… no, my face!?
“Whoa!? That hurts!?”
“We did it, we did it! We won!”
The Gigantospriggan completely silenced, Caz, clinging to me with her claws, triumphantly declared our victory.
Thanks to that, my face is now covered in scratches. Oh dear.
◇
“The Title Hal wanted is beyond this, right?”
“Yeah…”
No, I know that. I understand that.
But… the problem is, how do we open this massive Door?
I thought that defeating the Gigantospriggan would automatically open it, but unfortunately, it didn’t budge.
I searched around for a mechanism to open the Door, but… sigh, I can’t find anything.
“Hmm… does this mean we have to open it ourselves…?”
No, no way.
“Hey, Hal.”
“Hm? What’s up?”
“If I become the Calamity Beast Caspary, it might work.”
“Really!?”
She’s in her kitten form now, but if I supply her with SP, she can transform into her original form, the Calamity Beast Caspary.
That might work… but.
“Stare…”
“W-what…?”
I couldn’t help but stare at Caz.
No, I acknowledge her as my partner now, and Caz has said the same, but with Sandra and Monica not here, if I’m attacked by the Calamity Beast Caspary, my paper-thin armor won’t stand a chance.
Is it really worth taking that risk…?
“Hehe.”
It’s too late for that now.
Caz fought alongside me to defeat the Gigantospriggan and hasn’t shown any signs of betraying me.
Besides, it’s awful to doubt my precious partner.
“Hey! It’s mean to laugh at me!”
“Haha! Sorry, sorry!”
I laughed loudly as Caz playfully hit me with her front paws.
Anyway, my partner suggested it, so let’s give it a try.
So.
“Ready, partner?”
“Of course! Partner!”
I gently touched Caz’s back as she stood on all fours in front of the Door.
“Nyahahahahaha! Calamity Beast Caspary, descending nya!”
Caz, growing to a size comparable to Henwen and announcing herself in a high-pitched voice, made me instinctively press my temples.
Is this really going to be okay? I’m starting to get worried.
“I’ll smash this Door with one blow nya! Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Caz slammed her front paws down with all her might, and a resounding crash echoed through the room.
Oh! This might work!
“Nya! Nya! Nya!”
She unleashed a barrage of attacks with her front paws, and the massive Door gradually warped.
Ooooooh…! As expected of a limited-time event boss. The name Calamity Beast Caspary isn’t just for show!
After about ten minutes of this struggle.
“How’s that nya! With me, it’s nothing nya!”
Caz struck a pose, wiping away sweat with her front paws.
We can now get to the other side of the Door, but surprisingly, she could only create a Gap that one person could barely squeeze through. Is that really something a Demon Beast should be proud of?
“Alright! Let’s go, partner!”
Caz, returning to her usual kitten size after leaving my hand, lightly landed on my shoulder.
She doesn’t seem to have any regrets about becoming the Calamity Beast Caspary, even though she had the chance.
“Yeah! Let’s go, partner!”
I high-fived Caz and squeezed through the Gap in the Door that my partner had opened.
Caz is, without a doubt, my best partner.
