Chapter 897 : Crushing And Getting Crushed
The Cursed Sword strolled back to her original position casually, even going ahead to inspect her sword like one might inspect their own nails.
I turned back to the other girls, expecting them to be hesitant about going up against the Cursed Sword after she basically decimated two of our team mates.
Contrary to my expectations, they all looked at me with eager expressions on their faces, all having that 'pick me next!' look.
This time I decided to just let them decide for this instead.
"Who wants to--"
"Me, Mistress!" The Lamia pleaded, waving her hand enthusiastically.
The Gnome immediately spoke up as well, "No, pick me, Mistress!"
Mother simply smiled and shook her head slightly. I guess she wants to be the last or something?
The Gnome and the Lamia glared at each other, clearly unwilling to give up their spot.
I grimaced a little, wondering how to choose between them.
Oh wait… Let's just flip a coin.
I took out a small Bronze coin and raised it up into the air, "I'll let this decide for the both of you then. I'll let you choose which side of the coin you want."
"Heads!" The Lamia called out immediately.
The Gnome nodded, "I shall pick tails, Mistress."
I flipped the coin into the air and watched it flip several times before it landed on my palm and I slapped my hand over it to prevent it from bouncing away.
When I lifted my palm to look at the coin, I found the result was heads.
I pointed at the Trapping Lamia and she gave a fist punch of victory before she slithered into the arena, coiling herself up in front of my tower.
Not gonna lie, I wasn't sure what I can command her with since I wasn't aware of her skills as I never saw her fight before…
The Cursed Sword didn't even acknowledge her, clearly assured of her own victory and merely busied herself with checking her own sword.
Verdam didn't comment on that and simply raised his hand to announce, "Battle… Start!"
"Go! Defeat her!" I ordered.
Hey, what else could I say? It's not like I know any of her skills, ok?!
I watched as the Cursed Sword lifted her blade, most likely aiming to cut off the Lamia's head like she had done to the other two when the Pitfall Lamia suddenly shot forward without warning.
Ah, she's using her tail as a springboard to launch herself forward… No wonder she was curled up like that.
The Cursed Sword was caught completely off guard and the Lamia quickly grabbed onto the cursed Sword's shoulders, latching herself onto the other Monster Girl and preventing her from swinging her sword.
She then swung her tail forward and her lower body coiled around the Cursed Sword, completely wrapping her up with her snake tail.
The Cursed Sword strained against her unexpected imprisonment but the Lamia did not even budge. The only change was that the Lamia started tightening her tail around the Cursed Sword.
There was a loud crack coming from inside the Lamia's tail and the Cursed Sword let out a scream of pain.
That shout only made the Lamia tighten her tail even further, the snake girl watching the other Monster Girl being squeezed to death with a sadistic smile on her face.
The Cursed Sword tried to scream but the Lamia did not even allow that as she covered her mouth with her hands, pressing her palms against the Cursed Sword to muffle the sounds coming out from there.
I wasn't even sure if she was doing that because she did not want to give the Cursed Sword a chance to surrender and wanted to just kill her for some reason.
For some reason, Verdam was also letting it happen too.
I watched as the Lamia increased her pressure even more and a particularly loud crack came from within her tail.
The Lamia paused for a moment before she finally released her, sliding backwards to slip herself out from the entanglement.
The moment the Lamia released her hold on the Cursed Sword, the Monster Girl fell backwards.
No… Correction. The top half of her body fell backwards while the bottom half started to fall backwards before the both ended up falling sideways to crash onto the ground.
Looks like the Lamia actually broke the Cursed Sword's spine…
Damn… That's kind of brutal…
The Lamia slithered back to my side of the arena before coiling up around my tower to reach me.
She rested her elbows on the edge of the tower to prop her chin up in front of me while shooting me a smug look.
"So what do you think, Mistress? You did not choose incorrectly, right? I am clearly the better one out of everyone here so let's go back to the mating circle after this~"
Err… I didn't exactly choose her since I just flipped a coin for it but I guess that wasn't the answer she wanted.
That's why I simply decided not to answer and went ahead to start patting her head.
The Lamia girl completely melted after my hand touched her head and her face turned into one of pure satisfaction.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Verdam leaned on his own tower, "I'm surprised you got this one to obey you to be honest. From what I know, these Monster Girls will set a trap and you will end up falling into an entire crowd of them who will end up raping you the entire time until you either pass out or die of exhaustion. Either way, you'll be spending an entire day in that trap of theirs and I don't even think it has been twenty four hours since I've released this particular group of them out into the Dungeon. So how did you do it?"
I continued to pat the Lamia while showing him a sheepish smile, "To be honest… I actually have no idea… I did fall into their trap but then… The next thing I know, all of them were passed out and I was the only one remaining."
"You… Don't remember what happened while you were in the trap?"
"Err… Just small bits and pieces I suppose… But I don't know exactly what happened that made them all pass out…" I half lied.
"Hmm… Interesting… Anyway, I suppose I should send out my next one! Go, Killia, my Dorome!"
Another circle of light appeared and… Nothing appeared?
Err… What's a Dorome though?I don't think I've ever heard of that one before… I admit my knowledge of Monster Girls is not that deep so it isn't surprising for him to call out one that I've never seen before.
I thought that there might be a problem with his summoning but Verdam gestured to the Lamia, "Alright, let's take our positions now!"
Err… Is his monster invisible or something? Because I really don't see anyone there at all.
Still, I let the Pitfall Lamia slither back in front of my tower to assume a combat stance.
But even then, the Lamia was being relaxed since it didn't look like there was an opponent in front of her.
"Stay vigilant, the enemy could be invisible," I warned her.
The Pitfall Lamia obviously didn't think so but still coiled up her tail underneath her just in case.
Verdam lifted his hand to announce the start of the battle again.
He really should get something else to start it for him instead… Guess I'll recommend that to him after this is done.
Verdam then pointed a finger at the Pitfall Lamia, "Go Killia! Subdue her!"
There was a rumble in the ground and the Lamia looked around the arena uneasily, right before the ground beneath her flowed upwards like some kind of liquid.
The Lamia tried to get away from it but the liquefied ground had already encased her tail which only made her attempt end up with her falling on her back as her tail was stuck to the ground.
The mud-like ground flowed up her snake tail and did not just stop there as it started moving up to her Mahun half of her body as well.
"Free yourself!" I called out to her, although it looked like her fate was already sealed.
The Lamia tried to pull herself away again but she still remained stuck in the mud that was flowing towards her. She then tried to punch at the mud but that only made a ripple on its surface without slowing it down.
The mud reached her chest and also encapsulated her arms, pinning the Lamia down on the ground.
A blob then rose out from the mud to form into a girl with the same colouration as the ground that was moving, her long hair tied up in a ponytail.
I'm guessing that's the Dorome.
"Mmm~ Time to sleep~" The newly appeared Monster Girl giggled, moving the mud upwards to cover the Lamia's face.
Ironic that the Lamia had won her previous fight by restraining her opponent only to get restrained this time.
Well… I guess there was no point in making her suffer anymore so I raised my hand.
"I concede this round!"
