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.
"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!"
