Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 13 - Chapter 57

Chapter 57

“What sort of ginormous beast is this…?” I asked myself .

Its body emitted a dark blue glow despite the surroundings being dark . I thought the wyrm was a dragon-type creature similar to the dragon we were familiar with . However, it wasn’t . It was just a snake . It didn’t have claws or a beard . Instead, it was a ginormous three-headed snake . It leapt out of the water and squirmed while shrieking and writhing, because it swallowed the mana dissolving potion .

When it charged into us, it nearly knocked me over with its imposing roar and three rows of sharp fangs, combined with the air emitted into the sky . The terror of brushing shoulders with a death god led to me forgetting to breathe, for it felt as though it would track me down via my breathing and devour me . I may not be afraid of death, but I shuddered when I sensed the terror of being one step away from death . My mind went blank, leaving nothing but the image of a gigantic mouth and fangs in my mind . It wasn’t just me who froze, though . My moms’ also froze as they blankly watched the ginormous wyrm squirming in the air . They had no idea what happened . I gave myself a hard punch .

It was no time to be freaking out . It was a once in a millennium opportunity . I never thought I’d be so lucky . I wanted to dissolve its outer shell with the mana dissolving potion . The wyrm wasn’t a stupid creature . It was an intelligent hunter . It would never consume the potion . Nevertheless, because it was in a bit of a rush and thought that I didn’t notice its presence, it attempted to attack me . Had Nier not pulled me back, I’d probably have been swallowed whole .

“Mom!!”

I shouted to the other ship in spite of not knowing if Mom could hear me or not . I had faith that Mom could react in time, though . As I predicted, Mommy Vyvyan raised her hands up high . A huge and heavy burst of mana smashed down . I didn’t know if Mommy Elizabeth and Nier could sense it, but I could sense the pressure of mana coming down from the skies . A huge cage made from mana came down from the skies and confined the wyrm inside .

The wyrm was previously hard to control due to its dexterous movement . Thankfully, the heavens gave us a perfect opportunity . The wyrm lost its ability to think as a result of the pain from within . That being said, it knew where it went wrong after the mana walls tightly confined it . The wyrm wrestled with the pain inside and roared toward the seemingly empty sky . But regardless of how it struggled, it couldn’t break the enclosure a demi-god trapped it with .

It may have absorbed all of the mana in the land, but its opponent this time was the monarch with the most superior mana – an incarnate of god . It was also a full-moon night; thus, Vyvyan’s power was at its peak . The wyrm smashed into its prison in a futile attempt to escape; sadly, it couldn’t get it to budge .

Ying stood at the bow . Despite there being no light all around, Ying’s white robe and flower petals were particularly clear . She held a different sabre . It was also a straight sabre, but it was an intimidating one . The blade was visible in the darkness . It wasn’t because the blade was very bright, but because the blade was very dark . It was darker than the darkness nearby . No, it wasn’t a natural darkness, but the sort of darkness you’d find within the deep corners of a human’s heart . Gazing at the blade was akin to gazing at the darkness of your own heart . It was the same as doing something you didn’t want to do . It was the same as seeing the darkness of your heart condescendingly mocking you and luring you, while you couldn’t escape the power of its lure .

“Is that Xia? Is that the sabre that could cut through all mana?” I wondered, finally believing that anybody who touched the sabre could become a killing machine, let alone those children .

Ying charged over to the struggling wyrm . During its painful struggle, the wyrm still managed to notice the fearsome Ying approaching it . It was the sort of fear you’d display when met with your born nemesis . Faced with Ying’s approach, it bellowed and charged toward Ying . But nevertheless, the pressure from inside and outside circumvented it from using its full strength . Ying dexterously landed on its head and dodged its attacks . The wyrm sported a large body, but it was freakishly nimble . It was still able to evade Ying’s attacks even inside the small space .

It was indifferent to the wounds Ying inflicted . It focused on covering its fatal zones . Ying’s effortlessly sabre cut its blue scales apart . She cut into its flesh underneath, spilling its dark blue blood .

Vyvyan gradually reduced the space available within the prison, allowing Ying to have an easier time . The effects of the mana dissolving potion were apparent . The wyrm’s fighting power continued to diminish; it became more and more sluggish, and it suffered more and more pain . As such, it was only a matter of time before Ying slew it .

It was evident Ying and Xia didn’t feel any tension when fighting it . The only issue they previously faced was the wyrm taking advantage of its aquatic advantage to flee, thereby preventing Ying from slaying it . This time, however, it couldn’t run .

I stood in place and watched Ying battle the wyrm inside the mana prison . Vyvyan specifically made a space inside, which couldn’t be seen . She also constructed a bunker and walls to stop the wyrm attacks . Their team up was impeccable, leaving the wyrm with no means of making contact with Ying . Such a fight lacked tension .

I looked over to Mommy Vyvyan . She still wore a calm and collected expression without any change . Mommy Elizabeth stood there, too . The original plan was somewhat complex, but it was evidently simple due to something I inadvertently did . Ying also appeared void of concern . She controlled her attacks and retreats very well and didn’t show any signs of turning . I pressed my hands on the rails and watched . I was sure things would be fine .

Nier stood next to me . She followed up her soft chuckle by saying, “Lucky you are all right, Your Majesty . That was really close . I didn’t hear it, either . I just had a gut feeling that there was danger, so I pulled you back . ”

“I can’t thank you enough . Honestly, I was shocked . Nier, I’d probably be digested by now if it were not for you . ”

“You must thank me properly when we get back, then . ”

Nier grabbed my arm with a smile . They were still battling behind us, but I didn’t feel that there was anything left to be concerned about . The area the wyrm had available to move in gradually decreased . As a matter of fact, it was relegated to just defending . I presumed it’d die soon . I no longer needed to fret . I just needed to look at Nier, who was by my side . We won . There was no tension whatsoever .

Right when I thought so, Nier switched to an absolutely stern expression . She suddenly grabbed me and leapt aside . We crashed into the railing and went over it . The huge ship in front of me was violently ripped apart from the centre . A giant beast rushed at us from the centre of the ship, reducing the ship to bits and pieces!

“What?!”

Before I could cry out, I was dropped into the ice-cold water . I struggled, and my heart throbbed . I opened my eyes, only to see countless glowing pairs of eyes in the dark waters…
