Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 381 Crab Attack

Mati raced forward and stopped in front of a backroom door near the end of the hallway. I wasted no time opening the door, but the room was nothing more than a storage room.

“What’s going on? Why isn’t she here?!” I asked in frustration as I could feel the overwhelming presence that was getting closer.

“Here!” Mati said, swimming forward and grabbing at the floor that was covered in smooth, almost white sand.

Mati grabbed a latch, and I rushed over to help her lift it up. The hatch wasn’t that heavy, but a blue female Demon was looking up at me when we got it open.

Xeno’s body was like Mati's, but I suspected she was more like a dolphin than a whale or shark. She wore a red sexy shell set over her tiny chest, and Xeno had some kind of blue flowing grass skirt on.

If we were in another place and not about to be attacked, I might take more time to appreciate her, but we had no time.

“Who are you?” The woman asked, looking up into my eyes in fear.

“This is Zack! Come on, Xeno, Ursula is coming!” Mati exclaimed, pulling at the Demon’s hand, but Xeno pulled back in fear.

“Ursula?! Why is she coming?! Where is Sebastien?!” Xeno asked in confusion, but we didn’t have time for this.

“Libra, my Astral Goddess of Balance, open the Gateway to your domain!” I called out, punching out to the side.

A light burst from Libra’s Astral Ring on my hand, and a tear in reality opened to more water. Libra was on the other side, looking at me with a smile.

“You seem to get yourself into trouble with minimal effort,” Libra said, her basketball breast floating in the air unnaturally.

I reached down and grabbed Xeno by the wrist before she could react and then tossed her at Libra, and then I grabbed Mati and tossed her in as well.

“I don’t have time to explain; just be ready to take at least three more!” I shouted, and Libra nodded.

“What are you doing?!” Mati screamed at me.

“Stay in here with Xeno, I don’t have time to explain, but you are just as likely to get me killed in this situation,” I shouted and then closed the rip before she could complain.

“COME OUT HERE!”

The voice vibrated me even inside of the building and almost rendered me unable to move. Whatever this creature was, it was much stronger than Testa, the Kraken, had been, but she had only been a small portion of her real power.

The thing screaming at me now felt a lot more like what the real thing should feel. I wasn’t going to back down from this fight, but I had to make sure that others didn’t get dragged into the mess I was making.

I activated my Monsterize ability, selected the Aquakade again, and then smashed through the wall. I turned to Philly’s sand shop, but it had gotten eerily dark for the middle of the day.

Then a massive pillar smashed down on the round shop right before my eyes. I was shocked in place for an entire second that seemed to last forever, and then I looked up.

The pillar had been a massive crab leg, and above me, the monster's underside, was the size of a football field.

My blood was on fire, but there was nothing I could do for Philly now. I couldn’t leave now, but I hadn’t planned on it from the first moment that I had felt this monster.

“You!” The Crab Goddess roared, vibrating me, but I ignored it, swimming out in the open water.

“So, you are that shitty crab's mother? Is that why you came? Because I killed your child? Your slaving child willing to give a demon to be abused by his patrons?” I asked.

“What of it? It is one Demon of many, and they are a stain on the world. The disgusting little child should be grateful that my son took her in. The same one that you killed!” Ursula roared.

“That same one and I would kill him again, but luckily, you are here, so I will take it out on you! Mega Monsterize!” I roared back, and my body started to expand rapidly as my single fin tail became eight tentacles.

My tail with a massive stinger and wings grew from my back as I transformed into a monstrous Matiken. The massive Old God was still much bigger than me, but now I could try to fight on a more even playing field.

“You think getting bigger is going to help you? Is this the first time that you have met a real Old God? I will make sure that I take my time to tear you apart and then put you back together for the rest of your waking life, Krill!” Ursula snapped, and I rolled my eyes and then burst forward.

Ursula snapped a thirty-foot claw at me, but the claw was forty feet away. Unfortunately, that was more than close enough for her, and I was blasted back like I had just been hit by a bus.

I spun back through the water, but the massive crab surged forward with impossible speed. A claw snapped forward and grabbed my body, but I activated my Earth Pact and stopped the claw from crushing me.

“Stupid creature. You know nothing of the power of the Old Gods! You are nothing before the might of us!” Ursula roared, bringing me up to her mouth that revealed a massive dark hole.

I was not about to become seafood.

I transformed into my Gorgon/Mermaid form, slipping out of the claws and slithering up the arm. The Old God tried to attack me with the other claw, but I swerved in time, and Ursula smashed into her own arm, cracking her shell.

“You slippery freak! Why can you change your form?! Get off of me, you disgusting creature!” Ursula screamed at me, but I ignored her.

I wrapped back around to the crack in Ursula’s arm and transformed back to my puny human form, letting go of my Earth Pact. I could sense the claw coming at me, and I crawled into the crack in the shell just as the claw smashed down, but the creature's white meat absorbed most of the shock.

“GET OUT OF MY BODY!” Ursula screamed, but I ignored her and activated my Fire Force Pact. “AHHH!”

The screams were soon drowned out by the boiling of crab meat, and the water around me drowned her out. I changed into the Aquakade and began to devour the cooking crab meat, the tasty meat filling me with energy.

Suddenly, I felt my body and the arm start to fall. I looked back up through the crack, but I was falling away from Ursula. She had cut her arm off, but I could see a new one growing.

As much as I was pissed off and angry, my monster brain told me that I had just found an excellent food supply, and that was all that was on my mind. I tried to eat more, but the claw was smashed with me still inside of it, but the strike couldn’t crack my body, so I kept eating.

“Get out here, you disgusting creature! I am going to tear you to pieces!” Ursula screamed down as she smashed at the claw.

“You keep saying that,” I said, poking my head out of a broken part of her claw.

“You can’t beat me! I am an Old God! No matter how many limbs I lose, I will always grow them back!” Ursula roared, and I nodded as she smashed me with one of her claws.

“So, what you are saying is that you are an unlimited food source for me? You are stronger than me, no doubt about it, but where is your magic? Can’t you use it?” I asked after Ursula pulled her claw back from me.

“Unlimited food? Who do you think that you are?! I can use magic if I want, but I don’t need it to kill you!” Ursala screamed, slamming her claw down again.

The claw missed as I burst into another part of the shell, digging into the meat. I needed to eat more.

“Sounds like you can’t use magic. Really, what kind of useless God are you? I am going to eat through your body until you can’t regenerate. You are going to make me stronger until I can kill you or force you to submit to me,” I said after cleaning out another section of the broken claw.

The Old God actually took a step back, but there was no running from me now. This thing had killed Philly, and her son had used and abused Xeno.

I had no care for what happened to this beast.

“I hope you had a good life because your time as an Old God ends now!” I roared as a new System message popped up.
