He scattered the elementals in no time. Tch, useless mobs.

「But whatever, my real target isn't those monsters after all… Do your worst here.」

I race through the familiar town, pulling Yokomichi along with me. My destination had been set from the start.

I’ve sent out a reconnaissance Rem bird I made into a familiar to guide us, so that I didn't stray from the right path along the way.

Along the way, more Elementals and Snow Ash Wolves appeared, but Yokomichi dispatched them in no time, so there was no problem.

Well, I should be pretty close to my destination————

「Over there!」

It was the most eye-catching building in this deserted town.

It might be something akin to a school in the past. It was a U-shaped building, built on vast grounds.

Yes, I'm well aware.

This school was the base of the goma that was led by the gogma.

「NBAAA!? GEBURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

「BUNDOGURAAA! ZEB DADABAAAA!」

One of the govus standing guard quickly spots the rapidly approaching Yokomichi and me.

The two govus, shouting something, draw their bows and fired their arrows at us. There was no way I’d get hit by such terrible aim.

I led Yokomichi at just the right distance, charging into the courtyard of the school where the goma built their base of operation. Now, fight for me, you goma bastards.

「It's boss battle time, you bastaaaard!」

「GUBAAAA!?」

「DUNGAAAAA!」

Seeing me rushed in with Yokomichi behind me, the gomas screamed at once.

It seemed like they were just about to head out on an expedition, as the ones stationed in the courtyard was fully armed.

Naturally, the two gogma, who was my main targets, were also equipped with heavy weapons.

One of them wields a single-edged greatsword with a blade that has faint green lines running through it, resembling a Qinglong sword. The other carries a large axe which the entire blade was dyed red. Ṙ𝘈ℕꝋ₿ΕS̩

It might be the Sword of Wind and the Axe of Flame. As expected of gogma, they’re equipped with an enchanted weapon.

「Here we go, guys! Yokomichi is not a pushover, so prepare yourself!」

「Gubura, Zebu, Danparugaa!」

They might not be responding to my shout, but a commanding voice rang out, giving orders to their goma unit.

The one who gave the command wasn't the gogma, but a govu instead.

The govu should be of lower rank in terms of strength, but that particular govu who giving orders was equipped quite differently from the others.

His entire body was clad in metal armor, further adorned with colorful feathers and furs. The design had distinctly barbaric taste, but no matter how you look at it, that was high-grade equipment, definitely not something a regular goma or govu foot soldier would wear.

「Is that govu by chance, a royalty?」

If he were commanding two gogma, his authority must be quite considerable. He was on a whole different level compared to the govu village chief we raided before.

Well, right now, strength matters more than status. Let’s hope that flashy govu wasn't all show and no substance.

「Tch, an orc and a troll, huh? Not even worth eating. You bastards taste like absolute shit, completely inedible, you damn walking garbage!」

Faced with the raging gomas that were stirred up by the sudden intruders, Yokomichi roared as well.

I figured from his remark that he must’ve tried to eat goma before, but I didn’t expect even Yokomichi to say they tasted so bad to the point that he couldn’t stomach them. At this point, it’s probably not just a matter of taste, there might be some deeper, fundamental reason why humans and gomas are so incompatible.

Well, I couldn’t care less about the secrets of their race for now. All that mattered to me was that these monsters. Both the gomas and Yokomichi just go ahead and kill each other.

Alright then, let the grand battle between monster Yokomichi, who has cast aside his humanity, and the gomas, mankind’s natural enemy, begin.

「ZENVAAAAAH!」

「GUVUROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Leading the charge were the two gogmas, ace fighters on the goma side. They raise their weapon overhead, and they charged straight at Yokomichi, slashing down with full force.

That was a pretty intense attack. GOGOGO, CRUSH HIM!

「Heh… wind and fire, huh? Tch… As if that weak-ass crap’s gonna do a damn thing to me now!」

In response, Yokomichi’s already grotesque caterpillar-like lower body undergoes an even more disturbing transformation. With a sickening crack of bones and tearing flesh, new, alien appendages grotesquely sprout from his sides, the sound of their growth echoing through the air.

On the right side, a massive arm covered in a rough, rock-like carapace sprouts. It’s shaped in a way that you’d easily mistake it for a golem’s arm.

On the left side, a beastly arm emerges, coated in thick, crimson fur. It was massive, resembling the limb of a bear, its fur bristling as if alive. Sharp, gleaming claws sprout from its fingers, each one curving with deadly precision, ready to tear through anything in its path.

With a thunderous crash, the rocky golem arm blocks the wind-infused greatsword, sending a shockwave through the air. At the same time, the red, bear-like claw slams into the fiery axe, the force of the impact causing sparks and flames to erupt in every direction.

At the moment of the collision, the greatsword unleashed a barrage of wind blades, each one slicing through the air with brutal force, scattering like razor-sharp gusts. From the massive axe, a ferocious burst of blazing red flames exploded, sending shockwaves through the ground and scorching the air around them.

Both attacks, if simply blocked, would inevitably result in damage from the additional wind and fire strikes. This is one of the troublesome aspects of an enchanted weapon.

「So they really do have some resistance to their own attack.」

In addition to the heavy strike swung by the gogma's powerful arm, each of them unleashed their magic attack. Yokomichi withstood them all without breaking a sweat.

The golem arm, with its unbreakable toughness, shrugged off the wind blades without so much as a scratch. The red bear arm, despite being blasted by intense flames and explosions, remained untouched, not even a trace of burn on its fur. A perfect display of unmatched durability, no attack seemed to leave a mark.

「GUBUUUU!」

「BANGUGAAAA!」

Despite the Gogmas' relentless attempts to overpower him with sheer force, Yokomichi demonstrated pure skill, effortlessly stopping their attacks with just a single arm he had grown. His mastery of control and precision made it seem as if the gogmas’ strength was nothing more than a futile effort against his impeccable technique.

「Just 'cause trolls are fat, they think they're all about strength, huh? But I'm stronger than you, you know?———— BUUUURN, 『Muscle Heat(Explosive Muscle)』」

「That skill, could it be!?」

As the red aura erupted from his monstrous arms, the gogma was finally overpowered, unable to endure any longer, and was sent flying backwards.

It would be one thing if his power had simply been boosted by reinforcement magic, and I’d just think he had eaten some monster with that ability. But that distinctively named reinforcement magic was something that I could never forgive.

That was obviously Ooyama, the 『Pyromancer』 skill.

「So even Ooyama fell into a victim…」

Given that it was my own naivety that allowed his escape, I had always worried her might come back one day for revenge.

And dammit, Ooyama's fire magic was powerful to boot. I got cornered by him.

And to think that his skills ended up in Yokomichi's hands, of all people. His abilities were far more formidable than I anticipated.

「Oi, what are you waiting for!? Come at me, small fry! Be my stepping stones and let me show Koutarou-kyun how cool and invincible I am!」

Yokomichi brandished his arms wildly toward the gogma.

As expected, when faced with an opponent superior in both power and defense, the gogmas had no choice but to be on the defensive side.

「What are you guys doing? The gogma’s taking the hate as the tank, so hurry up and flank him from the sides and rear to strike!」

「Zebura, gogmadan, gobu, derubazaaaaaaaaaaaa!」

Tch, damn slowpoke.

Right after my shout, I heard the leader govu’s voice, as if he’d been prompted to shout orders, and then the other govus started to move.

Yokomichi was focused on the two gogmas in front of him, leaving his rear, with its exposed worm-like lower body, completely vulnerable.

「Hah, no matter how many weaklings swarm around, there’s no way you can defeat me! Eat this, Wormhead!」

Right before the blade was about to stab into his worm’s body, those worm-like tendrils shot out from the inside, tearing through the white skin. It was like a parasite bursting out, and the sight was absolutely disgusting, but… it was an effective technique when facing multiple opponents.

「Ndave!?」

「GOBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Even for the govu, being attacked by the worm-like tendrils seemed to be a repulsive experience. They let out something like a scream, desperately swinging their weapons to fight back. The worms themselves weren’t that tough, so the swords were definitely capable of cutting through them, but with the writhing movements and the overwhelming numbers closing in, it became impossible to focus on attacking Yokomichi himself.

「Gububu, zebaaa!」

「Ugh!? You idiots, is this really the time to attack me?!」

Some govus came to attack me during the confusion.

Alfa's saw-like tail deflected the incoming blade.

「SAVE ME, YOKOMICHIIIIIIIIIIIII!」

「YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAAAARD————WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY KOTARO-KYUUUUUUUUUUN!!!」

Yokomichi unleashed pale blue lightning from his mouth along with an enraged roar.

The crackling lightning breath hit the foolish govu who had been aiming for me. That attack insta killed the said govu, leaving its body charred black as it fell to the ground.

Good job, Yokomichi. Protect me just like that.

「DO IT NOW, GOGMA, USE THAT OPENING TO ATTACK YOKOMICHI!!!」

「Gurubaaa!」

「FUN, DORAGAAAA!」

「WOAH! THAT WAY A CLOSE CALL!? I almost got hit just now, damn it!!」

When Yokomichi diverted his attention toward me, the gogmas immediately seized the opportunity to go on the offensive.

In terms of abilities, between Yokomichi and the goma squad, the latter was at a disadvantage compared to Yokomichi. That's why I had to manoeuvre skillfully and deal as much damage to Yokomichi as possible.

There was a proverb that said, "Enemy of my enemy is my friend". I had never expected that I'd find myself teaming up with the goma to fight Yokomichi.

Alright then, I'll do my best to support you, so Goma, fight until the bitter end for me.
