864 The Crab People Grew

“So you will fight underwater today?” Kayla asked me.

It’s the day of the match. And I’m ready to fight.

“Yes. I will fight Crabbe today. I’m curious to see how strong he is. Though I will get Spot and his children first. They are the only ones who can watch our fight and wanted to do so. Though there are other monsters who want to watch but they can’t,” I said.

“What about those chewing leaves? Anyone should be able to breathe underwater and watch you fight if you give them,” Angela asked. I guess she just wanted to get one so she can watch our battle.

“They are consumable items. And there’s only nine of them left. I’d like to save them until the battle. Because even if we have the Crab People to join us, there might be too many of them to fight and they will need your help,” I said.

In my past life, there’s no battle on the sea. At least I don’t know if it happen or not.

But now, we learned that they have a lot of tamers and summoners. And they have sea monsters as their contracted monsters. So they can fight from the sea.

At least it’s good that they are sea monsters. Because they might not be able to fight on land. But if the sea is conquered, then there’s no way to for us to win this war. Even if we end up winning the battle on land, there’s nothing we can do since we know that the sea has been conquered.

That’s why I want to have sea monsters as my allies. It’s great that at first, Spot joined us and told his children to protect the sea. But after that time with the orcas, and the time against the Kraken as well, I don’t think just Spot and his children will be enough.

.....

And now, we have someone who might be joining us soon. I know that the other monsters were trying to convince them to join us. But I haven’t heard of their answer yet.

If they won’t join us, then I guess I’ll have to dive again and look for other monsters to turn into our allies. Maybe I will look for another underwater dungeon.

Then I opened a portal to where Spot and his children are. Spot’s children were still unable to change their size. If I want to transport them using portal, then I would spent quite the amount of mana. I don’t want to do that since I’m going to fight soon.

Fortunately, they are fast when they are flying. Not as fast as Spot though. So we just fly from where they were to the sea near the village. Spot said that it will take a few hours to go there. So I just chatted with him on the way.

“Are they strong?” Spot asked.

“Their attack power and defensive power are comparable to the monsters in the village. And that’s on land. If it’s underwater, then I don’t know. That’s what I’m trying to find out today,” I said.

The Crab People have the raw strength to fight evenly against the weretigers. But the weretigers have been staying in the village for a while. So they learned their own skills and technique to fight monsters.

But for the Crab People, their way of fighting were still amateurish. I hope that in this few days that I left them be, they learned something to get themselves stronger.

Well, surrounded by battle-addicts, I’m sure that they have grown. Even if it’s just a little.

“Then, after you fight their representative, let me fight them. We finally have someone to spar with other than ourselves,” Spot said.

“Okay. You can ask them later. But of course I need to fight first,” I said.

“What if I fight first? Since I’m a sea monsters, then you can watch if they could be great in a fight against sea monsters or not,” Spot suggested.

“No. I will fight first. This fight will decide if they are worthy to be my familiar or not after all.”

Although I’m still leaning toward making Crabbe into my familiar, I’m still not a hundred percent sure yet. I’ll just watch how good he will be underwater.

Though I’m sure that any sea monsters should be faster than me underwater. But if it’s sinking, then I can sink faster than anyone with Victoria’s help.

Finally, I can see the beach. And I contacted Shelia and Graham that I’m close.

I can see the werewolves, angels, elves, weretigers, and centaurs there. Even Ray and the horses are there as well. Will it be a great idea for the Crab People to ride horses? Then they won’t have any problem with mobility on land.

As for the Crab People... Wait, what?! It has only been a few days since I left them here! How could they became so big!

“Crabbe? Is that you?”

I asked one of the Crab People I knew. And I even gave him the name myself.

He grew big. Much bigger than before.

Previously, all the Crab People are around the size of a human. Just around 170-190 cm. But now, most of them are over 3 meters tall. With Crabbe himself is over 4 meters tall.

“I am. Soon after you left, we had a feast with other monsters. Then we grew bigger. Though yesterday, our growth stopped. And I have adapted enough to this world and to the sea to face you,” the giant Crabbe said.

“Yes. Other than when we’re eating, we fought almost every day. At first, I was winning easily. But then, it became harder to win. Though I still never lost. Except when we fought underwater,” Shelia said.

So, not only do they grew stronger. They also grew bigger!

As a doctor, this is confusing. Though what I can say about this is that it’s because of magic. But is it?

If I have to guess, then it must be because they were affected by the poisonous gas in the dungeon. And now that the air they’re breathing is no longer poisonous, they recovered to the size they were supposed to be at.

“Crabbe, let me ask you a question. Before they died, your elders were around this size. Am I right?” I asked.

“Well, they were not this big. But yeah, they were bigger than I was when I was in that place,” Crabbe said.

Then it was as expected. The air outside helped them to regain their original selves. Maybe the sea water. But whatever it is, that poisonous gas is the reason why they were small before.

Especially those claws. They are bigger than his head. And there are more joints so they are flexible enough to move however he wants. Like a whip.

If I have to fight him, then I have to worry about those claws. Though his physical strength must be improved greatly with his size.

I thought that I might be able to convince them to join us by showing our culture. But I guess it’s impossible if they are this big. No clothes fit them.

“Since you helped us getting out of that place, we agreed that we will help you in the war whatever the result of our fight will be. Even if you don’t make a contract with me, I’m fine to stay in the village,” Crabbe said. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelFɪre.net

Well, that’s good. But if he can be my familiar, that’s enough. I’ll test him now.

“Oh, Master. I forgot to tell you something. We have four more dragons joining the village. Two of them are a couple. And the female of that couple will lay her eggs soon. I think it’s best if you show your face to them soon,” Graham said.

Four more dragons? As long as they are not hostile, then that’s good. Though I don’t know if they are willing to help us or not.

Maybe we can just ride them like how we ride horses. I’ll ask if those dragons are willing to be our ride or not. Though maybe other than Andro’s granddaughter, none of them are able to speak. I’ll meet them later after the fight.

“Then I will meet them later after the fight. You can go back now since you can’t watch the fight. We will fight deep enough so only Ray, Spot, and Spot’s children will be able to watch us,” I said.

Some monsters left. But most of them stayed. While all the Crab People were staying to watch our battle.

“Before we enter, since I can’t speak underwater, I will tell you what you need to know. Don’t worry about me. Just fight with the intent to kill. If you fought with Shelia, then you should know that I’m much stronger than her,” I said.

Crabbe nodded. Then I instructed Spot to bring us to where we will fight. From the beach, a few kilometers away. Then after we reach there, I will dive.

While I’m sitting on Spot’s head who is swimming on the surface, the Crab People were swimming. None of them were riding on Spot.

And all of them were good swimmer. I thought that since they are crabs, they won’t be too fast. But I was wrong. They are fast enough to race against Spot’s children.

And seeing dozens of them swimming is a little scary. Dozens of huge people were swimming very fast. That’s like a scene from nightmare.

Maybe I should be more serious in the fight then.
