Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 813 Queen Tanya Strikes



As soon as she opened her eyes, the ice around the Jorogumo halt the melting process and returned to when it was in the beginning. So the main reason it was melting so badly in the first place was because of the [Mind Extraction] that Queen Tanya was doing? 

"Yosh! I am done with the job! Time to wreck some bones, alright? I can hear you all complaining and so here I will be giving a hand!"

Queen Tanya immediately punches the nearby beast on the face, breaking its face and caving in the skull, killing it instantly.

"Heck yeah! That's what I am talking about!" Queen Tanya happily cheered as she proceeds to pummel through the monsters. Queen Tori who was also there can only stand watch and shake her head seeing her sister whom she was trying to protect earlier mowing down the monsters barehanded.

The monsters are flooding but since we no longer needed to protect Queen Tanya, we can now proceed with defeating the enemies without worrying about the ice melting and keeping the damage to a minimum for Queen Tanya.

"Alright, guys. Time to go all-out and bring all monsters down! Don't hold back and deal with what you can!" I ordered everyone including the skeletons.

Hearing that Lina and Tina unleashed their powers without holding back anymore, burning hordes of enemies and annihilating them with wind magic. The Desert Wolves rip the monsters to shreds and with quick succession, attack the weak spots and ganging up on much bigger enemies than them. The skeletons are just doing the same thing but they are now much more organized and can efficiently take down enemies in one go. I can also tell that most of them have leveled up a lot and are now ready to ascend to the next tiers after this battle just like the first skeleton who ascended. In fact, that guy is also ready to ascend again as well.

Queen Tori has finally managed to catch a breath and although she is still controlling her Shikigamis, she is no longer actively fighting to keep the defense line intact. As for me, I am now mowing down enemies using my Versatile Weapon and letting the weapon devour a few things along the way. I know they don't contribute to the stats of the Versatile Weapon but at least, that should quell the hunger for the weapon for quite some time.

Queen Tanya has been doing mighty well as she is not even using her weapon and just her fist and she still mows them like nothing. Being a battle maniac is something that benefits her as she is strong enough to keep her going.

Since the ritual that Queen Tanya is doing has finally ended, the enemies are no longer pouring in like usual. They are now remaining in a fixed amount and I think that was much better than having so many of them continuously pouring into our direction and stopping us from doing anything aside from defending and keeping an eye out for a blindspot attack.

It didn't take long enough for the monsters to slowly get thinner and thinner in numbers. They are still a lot but they are something manageable now compared to earlier where there is a chance to get overwhelmed by them if we are not watching out for our backs.

We slowly made ourselves a bit casual in our attack compared to going all out earlier. Now that the monsters are not that many, we can now casually relax while we let the others who are still willing to fight to continue fighting.

As for me, I stopped and went to inspect the ice to see whether it will break or not. It's still imperative for me to continuously see whether the Jorogumo will break out anytime.

The ice has been solidified once more and the cracks I have seen before have disappeared as the ice has gone solid once again, stopping the Jorogumo from breaking free. I am still not sure whether the ritual that Queen Tanya was doing was the main reason the ice was melting and barely being able to keep itself solid without melting.

"So it's no longer melting compared to what happened earlier?" Queen Tori asked as she starts resting for a bit and letting the Shikigamis do the work.

"Yeah, it's now back to normal and I don't know what is going on. It keep melting earlier and the Jorogumo frozen inside this slab of ice is on the verge of getting out as well but the moment Queen Tanya finished her task, the ice stopped melting and the Jorogumo froze up as well, unable to move, reverting to the beginning part before we started the defense."

"There must be something else other than the ritual my sister did as I don't think that was the main cause of the melting ice. If it was the ritual from my sister, the ice should have started melting since the very first wave. Therefore, some kind of other explanation must be the main case here. Perhaps some kind of outside intervention aside from the other things we mentioned. So it might be the main case here and we are just assuming things," Queen Tori shrugged while explaining her theory.

"Eh, whatever. Now that it's over, it's much better than ever. We don't need to make ourselves get more headaches thinking about it that much."

In the end, I decided to just not bother thinking about the ice melting. It doesn't matter much to me now anyways as we won't be dealing with it that long enough. Anyways, we decided to relax now as Queen Tanya and a few combatants willing to deal with the remaining enemies slay them all.

Around thirty minutes later, the final monster is killed by Queen Tanya who is now bathing in blood with her hands releasing smoke, presumably from using some kind of skill to continuously fight the monsters using her bare fists.

"Whew, that was a good workout. Nothing beats the satisfaction of dealing with all of this f*ckers up. My body felt good after releasing so many punches on those monsters."

"Ah, sis. Next time, you should be practicing decent hygiene discipline. Letting yourself drenched in blood just never looks like you are royalty."

"Psh, who cares about that Sis? Being drenched in blood just shows you how strong you are and I don't think its a shame to show everyone how you are bathing in the enemy's blood."

"Gah, disgusting Sis. Go clean up."

Queen Tori just waved her hands and a bubble of water enveloped Queen Tanya for a bit before the bubble burst and her body has gotten rid of the blood sticking to her clothes and skin.

"Thanks, Sis," Queen Tanya grinned after getting herself cleaned from the dirt and blood she accumulated in the battle.

"Argh...come on. Maybe next time, I should let you stay dirty rather than clean you up. You should learn a spell or two about cleaning yourself than relying on others. I am not your shower, Sis."

The two continues to bicker but it was clear that the two were still good and are in good condition. 

"Ah, that's right Sis, did you get anything good on the information you managed to extract?" Queen Tori asked.

"Yeah, sure do. I got plenty of stuff from what I recovered from her memories including the one who caused all of the magical transformation they gained after the debuffs were given to them. It is a bit surprising but I didn't think it was the actual case. But before we do that, we should clean up this whole place. We might have ended up eradicating the monsters here so we should share the monster spoils with the populace. I don't think we needed all the materials we can get from butchering all these carcasses anyways," Queen Tanya suggested as we looked over the pile of carcasses. Even Mizuchi gave up on eating too much and Leona is not that interested in these monsters either.

"That's a good idea. I hate it if we suddenly got the bad smell of rotting corpses with this amount of monsters killed so sharing them would be the best action."

Because of this, Queen Tanya called the people interested in the monster carcass and ask them if they wanted some of them. As for me, I started gathering the materials I needed and the stuff I might need. Queen Tori and Queen Tanya also did check around as well and gathered materials and stuff. It doesn't really matter too much. We still get the items we needed and we get a lot of them but we still won't finish up all the corpses therefore, giving a few of them to the people in the city would allow them to sell or get the resources they needed using the materials and items they get. In short, its a free stuff, take it or leave it.
