This Eroge Won't Make Me Fall!

Chapter 423 419: Naga Survivors

?

With the first of the remnants falling, the other two were no more that mere fodder. The trick to defeat them was rather simple, all they had to do was to keep the remnants busy and stomp them before they could heal each other using their authority.

Not giving them any time to think, Kalanaar jumped up again. The others were to be handled in the same way as before. His body soared as energy welled up from deep within him.

And once again.

[Dragon Breath]

A beam tore through the second remnant and burnt it alive. Before the last one could get a grasp on the situation, Kevin cancelled his spell that left them all flying and jumped up high to pull the spell he had failed to before.

Bouncing off of the remnant's head, he rose to a great height and increased the gravity around him.

Akin to a meteor falling through the skies, flames spread out as his leg tore through the last remnant and split it in half.

"Take that!!" Kevin screamed, still falling at a high speed. Though he had got rid of the gravity, force that was already applied continued to affect him.

Before he could fall on the ground, he was swooped up in the arms of their leader.

"L-leader…"

Noa grinned as she let Kevin back down. The blonde boy immediately looked around, found Na-Ri standing next to Noa, and grinned, hiding the pain that coursed through his body.

"Why would you guys do something this stupid?" Noa asked.

"Over there, leader!" Kalanaar pointed ahead and the two newcomers on the scene turned around. A little ways off north, a dome of trees had formed alongside multiple flying drones all around it. "There are survivors in this world!"

Noa's eyes slightly widened.

This wasn't the first time they had found survivors, but she didn't think that a world this far gone would have people alive.

She exchanged a glance with Na-Ri and rushed over to the dome while Na-Ri stayed back to scold and straighten up the two hot blooded idiots.

***

The dome collapsed as Noa stepped in front of it. Standing inside were the young dryad heaving out heavy breaths and Emily who still continued to control the drones with her AR glasses.

Behind the two of them stood the tattered inhabitants of this world. With half their body like those of snakes and the other half of humans, the Nagas glared at Noa but not their protectors.

"We already talked with them," said Emily.

The dryad approached Noa and casted the spell that bridged their communication gap.

Noa introduced herself as the leader of the group.

"Y-you are… peoplesss from another world?" The Naga that looked the strongest of the lot spoke up, but even he seemed largely injured.

Apparently the three A-Class Remnants were the ones chasing the Nagas before their attention was diverted by Kalanaar and the rest.

"What is all thissss? How is this possssssible?" The Naga asked.

"We'll explain more later. The same Outer Gods that destroyed this world are after us as well." Noa crossed her arms. "Let's get you guys out of here first. It should take a day's journey."

"What about the scythe?" Strolling in from the back, Na-Ri entered the conversation.

The Nagas seemed slightly startled by her appearance, but calmed down when Emily explained. The Dryad also cast the same spell on the other three and almost tipped over from exhaustion.

"We should split up," said Na-Ri. I can go and get the Scythe on my own, you guys can take them back to the World Tree.

Noa chuckled.

This girl was way too hasty. Thinking of it though, she guessed that Eugene would have said the same. For as much as she denied it, she seemed rather similar to her brother.

"We won't be doing that—"

"Um…" The Naga from before interrupted their conversation. He swung his hand meekly as if mimicking a scythe and spoke. "Giant weapon of the monsterssss. We have more brethren theresss…"

"More of you? You mean there are more survivors?"

"We hid under the groundsss… most of us already gone… only few remain…" The Naga tried his best, but perhaps seeing others had taken out a lot of tension as tears started spilling down its eyes.

The other Nagas behind him, totaling to ten, placed their hands on his back or cried all the same. Most of them couldn't believe they were seeing other people, but the fight with the Remnants had served to soothe their worries.

"Pleassse… save uss… I beg of you… Our children have no food, they die every day… We run and run and barely live around the weapon. My mother was killed, my father killed… only death waits for us… please…"

All of their eyes hardened.

This was the fate that awaited everyone… Crying alone in a ruined world, running around like rats, if the Outer Gods did not kill them then hunger would.

And if hunger didn't…. Then the hopelessness of their situation would make death a better option.

Thankfully, it seemed the weapon they were looking for was in the same place as them.

"Are there injured with you?"

The Naga nodded.

"Fine, all of you come along. Where is this place, this settlement of yours?"

The Naga pointed eastward from the spot.

"There, large holesss in groundsss… the weapon isss also there…."

Noa took a look at the tracker that Mamon had made. Something that was formed with great research and showed the direction of the greatest mass of an Outer God's energy…

And that tracker which was supposed to have guided them to the scythe was still pointing northwards.

A chuckle escaped Noa.

"We better hurry," she said, handing the tracker to Na-Ri. Who's face hardened just as bad.

"It seems there is a danger worse than what we can handle here."

It seemed the ruins of this world.

Were still the home of an Outer God.
