Chapter 278 Beast Mode God
Third variation──[Beast Mode: God]
Now, wrapped in aura all over their bodies, they had transformed into a complete beast form and released the tentacle restraints to land on the ground.
"""────!?"""
In contrast, the fake goddesses were bewildered, shocked, and confused as they rapidly regenerated their tentacles.
What had happened to destroy the tentacles? Why had they been blown to pieces?
──The answer is simple.
They had exploded a part of the thick aura surrounding their bodies and forcefully escaped from the tentacle restraints.
However, it wasn't as easy as it sounds.
At least, it would have been impossible for them in the second variation, where only part of their bodies was covered in aura. Creating such a powerful explosion close to their own bodies would have harmed them as well.
But, in a state where their entire bodies were covered in aura, it became possible.
Of course, this meant that their magical energy would be consumed heavily. But either way, it was clear that if they hadn't done this, they would have been defeated.
With that in mind, they resolved to eliminate the fake goddesses before their magical energy ran out.
They bent their limbs and lowered their bodies as if they were about to pounce.
The fake goddesses gasped at the sight.
The appearance of those who had reached [Beast ModeL God] was no longer the awkward mix of human and beast they had been before. It resembled the king of beasts, who reigns at the top of the food chain, including humans, in this world.
Yes, it was not the lion, known as the king of beasts...
In the natural world, it is said that no animal other than humans can kill it, a tiger with extraordinary physical abilities... but not really.
Born to serve humans, a noble among beasts...
"Hissss!!"
"Meooow!!"
"Raaaawr!!"
It took the form of a large cat.
The "White Lily Maiden" is a cat. Not a male. Whether this nature, engraved in their subconscious, caused them to take on a cat form is uncertain.
However, it wasn't wrong that they had transformed into cats.
Swaying their long tail swords made of aura, they glared at the fake goddesses──just a little.
In the next moment, the cats all dashed out with a "Meow!!"
Bouncing off the ground, they moved in a zigzag at an incredible speed, their whole bodies alive with energy.
Tentacles shot out toward them with great force. Countless tentacles tried to capture them again, closing in from all directions with no escape.
They couldn't avoid them────.
The number of tentacles was enormous, and their movements were so fast that it was hard to see. The fake goddesses skillfully and cunningly moved the tentacles.
Even though they had reached the Third Variation and displayed much higher physical abilities than before, it was impossible to dodge all of them.
The incoming tentacles captured the cats, and then──,
"Meow!!"
"────!?"
They slipped through the tentacle's grasp.
The fake goddess was confused by the fact that they had escaped the restraints and, more than anything, by the strange sensation they felt from the tentacles at that moment.
Perhaps it was the tentacle that struck from outside their view at supersonic speed, causing them to be flung into the air with a loud "Bang!!"
"Meow!!"
"────!?"
They spun around and landed gracefully, as if nothing had happened.
Even after taking a whip strike powerful enough to shatter a human body, they felt almost no damage.
Why was that?
Did the thick aura surrounding them act like armor?
Of course, that was part of it, but it wasn't the only reason. The aura around their bodies dispersed and absorbed the force of the whip strike, just like water.
Unique Beast Technique──[Cat Liquid Body]
Surely everyone knows that a cat's body is like a liquid. They mimicked not just the shape of a cat with their aura, but also its properties using their Mimicry Skill.
In other words, the thick aura covering them could easily change shape like a liquid and absorb shocks. That's why they could easily escape the tentacle's restraints.
And then──they overcame numerous tentacles and approached the fake goddesses.
With a light "thump," they jumped high into the air.
The cat, having caught the fake goddess in its range, struck down with its raised front paw at an incredible speed!
"Hisss!!"
Unique Beast Technique──[Cat Punch]
The soft, squishy paw pads that charm all humans were also present in them.
Moreover, these paw pads were far larger than those of a real cat.
What happens when such a thing is unleashed at high speed?
That's right, one would feel happy and ascend to the heavens. Even the fake goddess was no exception.
Bam!!!!
The fake goddess's entire body was blown to pieces by the [Cat Punch].
The moment the giant paw hit the fake goddess, all of its energy transformed into shockwaves and exploded. Of course, with just one [Cat Punch], she lost not just a paw but a whole leg, but that was just part of the aura. After delivering the [Cat Punch], she landed on the ground and immediately poured aura into her right front leg to regenerate.
On the other hand, the fake goddess, who had been blown to pieces, began to lose magical energy without regenerating.
"""────!!"""
The fake goddesses made their decision quickly.
To counter their own tentacles, these "enemies" chose to completely cover their bodies with aura.
As a result, their attacks were no longer effective.
So, is it dangerous to stick to the tentacles?
──No.
While it became difficult to restrain with the tentacles, given the current situation where many magics were sealed, this form should still be effective. However, it would be a mistake to constantly use healing magic for regeneration.
The thick aura covering the entire bodies of the "enemies." And the vast aura contained in the previous strike.
From these two facts, the fake goddesses deduced the optimal selection.
Space magic──[Space Barrier]
As they instantly shrank their extended tentacles, the fake goddesses surrounded themselves with a [Space Barrier].
The true intention was to provoke the "enemies" into self-destruction.
Even now, the "enemies" were consuming a large amount of aura with every passing second. So, if they just focused on defense, the "enemies" would eventually run out of magical energy and lose their ability to continue fighting.
It was exactly as they said, but it wasn't that simple.
"Meow!"
Like a king, a cat approached the fake goddesses trapped in the barrier.
This cat was different; it was black.
Third variation──[Beast Mode: God - Heavy King Form]
The black cat, wrapped in a heavy aura, extended its tail sword that contained "Black Moon."
It stretched, stretched, and stretched.
Like the tentacles of the fake goddesses, the black tail sword extended smoothly, reaching over ten meters in length──
Whoosh!!
With a speed that was hard to follow, it swung.
My Unique Beast Technique──[Tail Whip]
With a loud bang, the fake goddesses' [Space Barrier] was sliced apart.
The barrier shattered like glass, disappearing.
Then──
"""Meow!!"""
"""────!?"""
The cats, waiting for the barrier to disappear, all jumped in at once.
And they unleashed their [Cat Punches].
Would the fake goddesses be wiped out first, or would their magical energy run out first?
The battle was entering a new phase──.
