Nine Tailed System 57 Mission Completed

Inside a cave of a big mountain…

*Crash*

The cave was full of craters, caused from Yamata no Orochi's heads and claws,

*Crash*

The target of her attacks was a young boy that was dodging all of her attacks, the young boy was Marco, and he was preparing for a counter attack to finish this quickly before he gets tired. Right now he was waiting for the cooldown to end…

Marco: '6...5...4...3...2…' OOF

He got hit from one of Yamata no Orochi's tails, slamming him in the ground, then she put a big claw of hers over his body.

Yamata no Orochi: Finally you stopped moving, you d.a.m.n little human…

Yamata no Orochi then pressed more on Marco's body, causing pain, but he gritted his teeth and grinned.

Marco: Time's up.

Energy exploded under Yamata no Orochi's claw, and was surprised when she was slowly being lifted up.

Yamata no Orochi: Wh

Marco: GGRRHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Thanks to Gnome's powers, which are used at the maximum, Marco lifted for a moment Yamata no Orochi, which caused some of his bone to crack due to her weight, but with the help of his 3 new tails, he threw her against the wall.

Yamata no Orochi got greatly hurt, but thanks to her scales covering her body, she was not injured, then she fell on her limbs and looked around in anger, trying to find Marco, but he disappeared somewhe-

*Ffffiiiuuuuun*

Her thoughts were interrupted when something sharp cut all 8 of their necks in a moment, and fell in the ground, then both the heads and the body started glowing before the monster girl was sealed in a tiny snake with multiple heads.

[Replay]

[Freeze frame]

At the furthest neck at left, there was something like a red disk, ready to cut the heads.

[Play]

[Speed x0.01]

The red disk cut off all the 8 heads without any resistance, then it slammed into a wall, making a giant dent and stopped, revealing Marco gripping on the wall, he finally used his personal technique, Chain-claw. Thanks to Sylph's help and the 3rd Gate, he was able to behead all 8 the heads.

*Ding*

*Special Quest[Successful]: Defeat Yamata no Orochi*

He deactivated the 3rd Gate and Sylph, before he fell in the ground, incredibly tired, he tried to get up… However, he fell unconscious, it looks like using continuously Sylph and Gnome, regenerating from broken bones, and continuously dodging attacks completely consumed his stamina.

From his pocket, Tamamo, still curled into a ball, appeared, and the ball grew once again before it unfurled, revealing the nine tailed legal loli. She was looking at the battlefield, and nodded in satisfaction, before he picked up Yamata no Orochi sealed and took her and Marco away.

Outside the cave there was Alice with a bored look that was eating a rice ball.

Alice: How did it go?

Tamamo: He beaten her alone, even if he is now unconscious with some broken bones, he is still alright.

Alice nodded and used her tail to pick up Marco and carried him with her back to the village, with Tamamo following her.

[Tomorrow]

Marco woke up in an infirmary, probably the one of the village, he had some medical bands over his body and head, he tried to move a bit but pain came all over his body, it looks like he needs to stay a bit on the bed.

Marco: 'Whatever… It was a while since I relaxed in a calm village…'

Usually within 24 hours, he had some problems to solve, but now he could rest without any problem, he decided to not use the Nine Tailed Gates to help with his regeneration so he could rest a bit more.

Some hours later, the door opened to reveal Alice, with food on her hands.

Marco: Good morning, Alice…

Alice: Oh, you are finally awake.

Marco: Yeah, what's the situation?

Alice: 4 broken ribs, two dislocated shoulders, and some cracks over the bones of the arms and legs, what the h.e.l.l happened?

Marco: Meh, lifting a eight-headed dragon…

Alice almost choked on her food, and coughed a bit.

Alice: W-What!?

Marco: Yep, now I know that even with Gnome, doing that will be hard unless I am using the 4th Gate…

Alice facepalmed, and let out a sigh of exasperation.

Alice: Whatever, they said that you need a month to turn back at your prime.

Marco: ...Huh? f.u.c.k no, I'm not waiting this long…

Then Marco used the 1st Gate, he ain't staying here an entire month, it would be ok 1 week, or even 2, but a month, no!

Slowly but surely, his bones started to heal, while Marco took a relaxed expression and started to rest. Alice slithered out from the room and advised the others about the current situation.

[30 minutes later]

He finally regenerated at the 100%, and slowly got up from the bed, then he stretched his body and removed the medical bands.

*Knock* *Knock*

Someone knocked at the door, Marco sat in the bed and called.

Marco: You can enter.

The door opened and revealed the Chief of the Village with Alice and Tamamo.

Marco: Good morning, Chief.

Chief: Good morning to you too, traveler. I came here to thank you for saving this village, I'd really love to reward you, traveler… But this village is poor, and there isn't much we can do for you…

Marco: Don't worry about it, just knowing that you guys helped me when I was unconscious is alright.

Chief: And it seems that you are alright now…

Marco: Yeah, I'm a special guy… By the way, the other guys? I think I beaten them pretty hard…

Chief: Oh, don't worry about them, it's their fault that they got hurt, they will think 2 times before doing something like that in future.

Marco: Alright, now that the matter is settled, we will take our leave, righ...t…?

Both Tamamo and Alice were munching on their favourite food like pigs… Marco sighed in exasperation and turned to the Chief.

Marco: Yeah, we will leave…

Chief: Thank you again, traveler! May good fortune s.h.i.+ne on your travels!

Marco: 'I really need luck since I am going against Illias…'

Then, Marco dressed up with his clothes and he, Alice and Tamamo left Yamatai Village.

As soon as they left the village, Tamamo spoke.

Tamamo: Now then, I shall take my leave here.

Marco: Alright, I heard that you took me out from the cave, thank you.

Tamamo: Don't worry about it, when you come at the Monster Lord's castle, I will not show mercy.

Marco: Heh, I don't need mercy during a fight, if I die is because I made a mistake. I just hope all 4 of you are there so I can stop you 4 to make a mess in the world.

Tamamo: Fufufu… Quite full of spirit, aren't you? In that case, I'll be looking forward to it.

Marco: Just prepare a big place for the fight, because I don't want to destroy the entire castle.

Tamamo giggled before doing a backflip and disappeared, then Marco turned to Alice.

Marco: Alright, it's time to leave now…

Alice: Where do we go now?

Marco: Well, I thought about going to Kitsune Village, but I think it can wait a bit, it's better if I get Undine first, G.o.d knows what might happen there… But, for now it will be better if we stop a bit at Plansect Village, I heard some rumors about that place...

Alice: Are you really going there…? Sheesh, whatever.

Marco: We will go there anyway… Let's go!

Alice sighed and followed Marco to Plansect Village, to confirm if a certain thing there is true, while Marco already knew what happened and was thinking about a plan to solve the problem there.
