Chapter 797 – Parade Outside the Village, Shashaato City, Whale

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

-White Skeleton Whale’s POV-

…..it’s noisy.

Who is it that awakens me?

I am the whale king.

The king of whales who’s been living for 10000 years.

The day for me to swallow the world has yet to come.

Why was I awakened?

-0-

The light of the world burns me.

My eyes are rotting away.

It is sickening to only feel pain in darkness.

My body…..seems to have nothing but bones.

My strength has yet to return.

The me before I sleep would have regenerated before I felt any discomfort.

It is still too early for me to wake after all.

However, to sleep again is a sin.

I would have to hunt down appropriate people to regain my strength.

Even in this state, there are only a few who can harm me.

There is no need to be frightened.

I will regenerate my eyes.

Damn, the light is still as loathsome as ever.

It reigns over the heavens as if it owns it.

Someday, I will swallow that star too.

And…..

The little ones are swarming here as always.

They are flocking together.

And they are under the illusion that they have power.

You are all fools, ungrateful fools.

I won’t even bother slaughtering them since they are all too weak but….

It’s for the sake of my own rebirth.

I have no choice.

Just as I was thinking that, I was attacked.

It hurt a lot.

Who is it that pierced through my defenses?

No, I don’t even need to look.

It should be a lizard(ancient dragon)!

It must have noticed me and rushed over here.

Hahaha!

Let’s get back to it!

……

Eh?

Wait a minute?

Usually, you guys should be alone, right?

You don’t act in groups because each one has a big territory.

So, why are there so many of you here?

No way…..have I been lured?

Were they planning to awaken me to destroy me?

D-don’t underestimate me too much!

First, strengthen my defense.

Next, counterattack.

I will not allow you to trap me!

I will never forgive you!

…….but I think it’s also important to talk about things.

Yeah, aren’t you being a little too restless?

It is true that I am in a war against ancient dragons but that was probably your ancestors.

It’s not good to inherit grudges.

I do not wish to antagonize you either.

No, I thought about it for a while and then, changed my mind.

I don’t think we have any reason to fight.

…….

Come on, let’s talk!

Don’t you know love and peace?

Why are you so persistent in attacking me?

Ah, I see, is it because this is your territory?

Then, I’ll leave this place.

How about it?

No?

It doesn’t matter either way, just stop attacking!

Wave attacks are painful!

I said painful!

Don’t kick me!

My ribs are broken!

Look!

There’s no meat on it so it’s broken in plain sight!

Hey!

Don’t target the broken part!

You’ve got no manners!

Damn.

I see.

You won’t stop attacking no matter what?

I see, I see.

It seems you have made me serious.

You’ll be sorry!

I’m about to change my form so don’t get in my way!

You really have no manners!

Since it has come to this, my servants!

My kins!

Help me!

I’m in a pinch!

Super pinch!

Reinforcement, reinforcement please!

If you come, I promise to treat you better!

You will no longer be a throw away pawn or anything!

……

Can’t you at least react!

What’s this!

Don’t tell me you’ve already been destroyed!

All of my million kins covering the heavens?

That’s absurd!

Impossible!

No, no, what is impossible is for me to wake up early.

Considering that, was everything prepared for my destruction?

No wonder my kins have all been destroyed!

Does that mean I am doomed?

I see….

Maa, the ancient dragons are like demigods.

And there are a lot of them here.

Isn’t it strange for me to be destroyed?

Fuh.

This is too much even for me.

……..

Stupid bastard!

I wouldn’t be the whale king if I would give up with just this!

I will survive!

Absolutely will!

And then, whatever tens of thousands of years I may sleep, I will store up my power again and swallow the world!

First, I’ll force myself to transform again even if they are attacking me!

Emphasize on defense!

Then, divine them!

Have the divided armor attack the ancient dragons!

Yeah, I know that won’t be enough to defeat them!

I have to chase after them!

I made it look like I’m going to pursue them and when the dragons braced themselves, I made most of my body explode and escape!

It’s a waste to blow up my body but if I don’t do so, I’ll just be destroyed!

Besides, the plan will only be effective if I throw them away.

The ancient dragons now lost me.

Well, I’m currently about the size of a person’s head.

Moreover, I look like a piece of bone.

I can’t be identified because I had my body explode.

I lay on the ground and pretended to be an explosion debris.

The dragons……did not find me.

Alright, I survived!

All I have to do now is hide!

Just when I thought of that, I was caught by someone.

No, I was caught by a beak.

I checked the owner of the beak.

This is something that can’t hurt me even if I’m in this state.

There is no need to fear.

However…..

The owner of the beak was a phoenix.

……….

It is capable of destroying me even if I’m not in this state!

Impossible!

Why are you here?

Have you joined forces with the ancient dragons!

This is bad!

I’ll be eaten!

If it eats me, I’ll die.

I’ll be destroyed.

My existence will disappear!

You can’t!

Spare me!

-0-

I wonder if my wish was heeded.

The phoenix did not eat me but threw me away.

……..

I’m glad I’m saved but why aren’t you pecking me?

Could it be that you don’t want to eat me because I taste bad?

No, I don’t want to be eaten.

However, it licked before it threw me away…..

Was it that bad?

…..I don’t really need any feedback.

It will break my heart so don’t.

Sorry.

Yeah, that helped.

Thanks.

Ehto, so I’m going to escape, are you going to chase me?

You won’t?

I can see that this phoenix grabbed me by its talons and is bringing me somewhere…..ah, to the little ones that are flocking.

Is it trying to display me or something?

No, I don’t think a phoenix would do that.

Then, what are you going to do?

Hnn?

Eh?

This is a lie.

There’s a man with the power of god over there.

And I’m to be judged by him?

I was just sleeping.

-0-

I was placed before the one….who has the power of god.

Areh?

Three heads and six arms?

This three headed, six-armed figure must be some kind of remnant of some kind of the evil god.

This means I can gather information about when I was still sleeping.

Amazing.

Hahahaha.

Ehto, phoenix.

I don’t think we can understand each other unless you translate for us.

Also, you’ve suddenly become smaller, why?

Is that your true form?

In any case, I have come this far so I will not resist in vain.

I just want to make my point before I am judged.

That’s why I need an interpreter……

This isn’t the time to be eating that delicious looking fish!

Also, don’t leave bones clean!

Even the bones are delicious!

If you don’t like them as they are, grill them or something……

-0-

At a later date.

I don’t know what’s happening but I’m to be worshiped in a mountain shrine near Village Five.

Why are they treating me as the whale god?

No, I have no objection to that treatment but…..

If you’re going to ask me if I’m on the good or evil side, I should be on the evil side.

Do you mind?

I don’t feel bad about being worshiped so I’ll be quiet.

You don’t need to do anything unnecessary.

I think I’ll spend most of my time sleeping.

However, can’t you do something about the occasional visit of the ancient dragons?

I understand that their purpose is not me but the place where dragons are worshiped but…..

I can’t just feel at ease.

-0-

Dragons: Surround it, surround it!

Whale: Don’t you have hearts?

-0-

Aegis: I found something.

Village Chief: Good good good
