Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

205 No Choice, I Didn't Listen

The fire gathered into me, and the creatures tried to strike, but I incinerated them out of the air like scraps of paper. Fire whirled around me in whipping tendrils that struck out on their own as I blasted out torrents of fire.

Still, they kept coming, and now they were starting to get bigger.

I didn't care; somehow, I knew that this was all preventable, and it never should have happened. This was the result of something idiotic, I could feel it in my soul, and these creatures were another perversion that should have never been.

So I would unmake them.

[Three big ones are incoming, far above, but they are starting to descend, and they are much older and stronger. Prepare yourself; there is no escaping, have no choice now, you must fight.]

No part of me dreamed of it. The fear that had briefly touched my soul had been wiped from existence, and all that remained was my anger and frustration.

I twisted and shot fire at a larger one that got closer, but it resisted my fire and flew straight at me, screaming with burned flesh. Tendrils snapped around the body and then tore the body apart into seared chunks before it could get within ten feet, but it was a wake-up.

[You can't pull in more energy, even after all this, the big ones might be too much. The others are far away, but I am not sure what you can do to get away. Even if they can't kill you like this, it is only a matter of time before your physical body runs out.]

He was right, and the new bigger ones were starting to increase in numbers as I killed smaller ones in droves. It was like being at the center of a storm, but the calm was replaced by Invisazards diving at me from every angle.

I closed my eyes, and I forced the world to slow down.

I wasn't sure why I could do this, but I used the time to try and figure out what to do. While the ability could slow the world, it didn't change the situation on the other side of my eyes.

[I didn't think that a world so small as this would have something like those elder creatures here. This world is like a mini version of ours, yet it is wholly fractured in ways far beyond impossible! Look at that undulating wall that sucks things in and kills them! Where does that even go if you can fly through it?!]

I had the same question on my mind before, and it didn't make any sense. How could the wall do that, and where did it go?

[That would be a great place to lose them, but then you would die.]

'No, I wouldn't.'

[Oh yeah, duh! …! Hey, You can…]

'Yes, I know, duh!'

[Hey!]

I opened my eyes, and the world snapped back, but I shot straight at the top of the wall below. I smashed through the sphere of Invisazards, the fire tendrils slicing them to pieces as I rocketed toward the undulating rocks.

I could feel the number of creatures had grown too big to give a name right now, funneling down after me. My senses were going off like crazy as I got closer, screaming that this was a bad idea.

[They might not be wrong! Even though you are energy, this world has proven that it is not normal, and I don't know what will happen if we go in there!]

'Do you have a better idea? Cause it looks like the top half of the planet wants to eat us!'

[Good point, but that doesn't make this any better!]

I slammed into the top of the wall and straight into a tunnel of cascading rainbow lights, and then all sense of the world I was in vanished. The roars that had chased me into this place ceased, and I plunged into the unknown.

'What is this place?'

There was no answer, only the myriad of colors that fell with me. I tried to look down, but my eyes couldn't be held on the blackness below; they kept being forced back to the falling colors.

I tried to close my eyes, but nothing happened, and I opened them again and looked down at my body.

There was nothing there.

That made no sense, and I tried to look for something that could account for the fact that I was the one looking. If I could see, then there had to be more of me or even some of me.

"You would think that."

I had just said that… but it wasn't me that had said that.

"Yes, it is. This is all you, us, and him."

I started to look around frantically, trying to find who or what was making the noise, but it was me.

"He caused this, but I started it."

I started this? What was I talking about?!

"I wanted to stop him; that was what I meant to do."

Then why didn't I?

"I knew I could do it alone."

Wait, why would I think like that? I… had been alone on earth… but things were different now! I… I was alone, trying to save everyone… Just like then.

"I knew that there was a chance that something like this could happen, yet, I didn't listen."

Was it really my fault?

"You need to open your eyes."

That voice wasn't mine.

The pressure weighed down on me as I opened my eyes and saw a small male… Kaula? The markings were different from the Nafa, and the small feminine male looked very angry with me.

I tried to sit up, but the pressure made it almost impossible to move. I looked at the male and then around as best I could.

I was in a small cave, and it was filled with strange glowing rocks and numerous other things.

"Where am I?" I asked, but Fireden's voice was the one that spoke inside of my head.

[On the other side of the planet.]
