Scarblade Goddess 46 Chapter 45

"Phew, let's see what's on the news...".

Thereupon, the screen showed a live footage of the colossal penguin towering above the clouds. It had the crooked and sharp fangs of a treacherous sea monster. Moreover, the upright bird looked-like it was unearthed from the deathly abyss, as its whole body had chaotic hues of black and white mixed in chaos. Down below, its back had protruding black spikes, seeped in b.l.o.o.d.y crimson. Lastly, its eyes were glaring red, as it was driven into nothing but, mere bloodl.u.s.t. Although, it looked extremely weird since it's just a gigantic penguin lost in a desert. While the monster was being observed from above, one of the emcees said as if he was awestrucked,

"Would ya look at that folks! Guess someone ordered a giant penguin!".

There after, he made a wild guess, pinpointing at someone notable,

"Maybe it's not yet satisfied of slapping a USELESS GEL G.o.dDESS!".

As for the other female emcee, she made an awkward smile,

"Uh Jack?".

Though, the male emcee just told his own name once again,

"It's McRiley...".

Then, the female emcee just replied back,

Ah yes, about that monster, it's not included in the event...".

The male emcee looked surprised at first but, he just told with a confident smile,

"Oh...well that's all for today folks!".

Suddenly, the channel went white. A little while later, it had shown a serious-looking news reporter on her desk, while there was a live video of the penguin monster behind her.

"This just in...a gigantic abyss PENGUIN monster was let on the loose and n.o.body knows where it came from. And yes, this is not included in the annual racing event...On the flipside...it's still cute!".

Then, the channel went blank. As the said deities, heroes, and heroines saw the urgent and bizarre news, they were all filled with skeptic looks. More than that, doubtful rumors were spreading amongst them, regarding the bizarre incident. While for Otorine, Yumine, Shunya, Amora, and Miro they made seedy-looks, as their eyes couldn't believe of what they had seen.

"A giant PENGUIN monster in a desert? That's original...but, downright bizarre...Is HE going nuts?",

Yumine expressed, rolling her eyes down. G.o.ddess Queen Weissia had also witnessed the news, although she didn't worry llike the others. Instead, she was composed as ever. She just closed her eyes and she was engrossed in her thoughts,

"A penguin monster but, it looked-like it was mutated somehow...".

Then, she took another bite of her ice cream. The atmosphere around the place was getting tense, as the people inside were having worries, and rising suspicions. Sadly, Weissia didn't act yet, as she just continued to eat her meal. Although, her mind was already a.n.a.lyzing the new incident, somehow. Sooner or later, Lilieth came in. Strange thing is, her very sights noticed that everyone was eating their own ice cream, turning her to be quite surprised and dumbfounded,

"Everyone has ice cream?".

Soon, she went to Otorine and company's table. Yumine greeted Lilieth with a friendly smile,

"Hey there Lilieth!".

Lilieth asked,

"It's a full house here and why does everyone here have ice cream on their tables?".

Amora made a sarcastic smile and stared at Weissia from the distance,

"Well, SOMEONE treated everyone here some ice cream, so that she'll have her alone time, without anyone telling them that she's here.".

While Lilieth was feeling that Amora was pointing someone out, Lilieth turned to look at through the distance as well. There, Lilieth witnessed that their almighty G.o.ddess Queen Weissia was eating lots of ice cream. Moreover, Lilieth's eyes were noticing that Weissia's bunny ears were twitching with excitement, as she took each scoop of the ice cream. More than that, Weissia looked-like a happy teenage high-school girl who was too obsessed over ice cream. Thereon, Lilieth made her comment of what she had seen,

"Y-yeah, I could see that...".

Although, she was concerned in her deep thoughts,

"Honestly, our G.o.ddess Queen Weissia needs to be extra careful sometimes...".

There after, Lilieth remembered something,

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot...".

Then, she asked Otorine and company,

"Have you seen the unusual thing going-on in the news?".

Otorine replied,

"The adorable penguin monster?".

Lilieth nodded and she told more regarding the monster Otorine had said,

"Yes that but wait...you see it cute? What the? Nevermind...guess what...it's also infused with—.".

Then, Weissia b.u.t.ted-in,

"Powers of Distortion.".

Otorine and company noticed that G.o.ddess Queen Weissia was already behind Lilieth. Lilieth didn't continue her statement, since she agreed of what Weissia had told,

"Yes, as our majesty just said...".

Yumine, Amora, Shunya, and Miro felt a cold breeze and they were all frustrated, as they've heard that horrid term once again. As for Otorine, she made a her chin and she was intrigued in her thoughts,

"So our G.o.ddess Queen Weissia knows about this as well...".

The others noticed that Weissia's composure returned in which they sensed that Weissia was aware of what was going on. Not only that, she had her arms crossed. Although, everybody felt tense as well, since their G.o.ddess Queen got involved. As for Shunya, she tried to break the chilling air by greeting casually at their G.o.ddess Queen,

"h.e.l.lo there our G.o.ddess Queen Weissia! And thanks for the free ice cream!".

Weissia nodded, as she returned the favor. Lilieth felt quite envious of the others having ice cream, so she asked with added flattery and plea to their G.o.ddess Queen Weissia before them,

"Ooooh...and can I have an ice cream treat too, OUR GLORIOUS AND MOST FANTASTIC G.o.dDESS QUEEN WEISSIA?".

Weissia just made a huge sigh, as she heard the over the top flattery from Lilieth just to get some free ice cream. Although, Weissia just agreed to Lilieth's demands,

"Sigh, okay...".

While for Otorine, she remembered that young Na.s.sus was currently in the race. In turn, she was filled with immense worry, since the distorted monster could pose grievous danger to her adorable Na.s.sus,

"I hope Na.s.sus would be alright...".

On the other hand, in little Na.s.sus's situation, he was still mounted on the dragon, as he was still racing along the arid skies. Through the short distance, his senses were clearly seeing the gigantic upright bird monster that came from the cold abyss.

"Cute penguin?",

he said. While for the twins who were on the lead, they felt p.i.s.sed, as they had seen the malicious and putrid form of the gargantuan penguin,

"Tch! I didn't order to fight a stupid penguin! I'm outta here!".

Then, his twin brother agreed as well,

"Same here brother!".

Afterwards, the two champions brought out their azure magic transfer cards. The next moment, they were shrouded in a curtain of rainbow lights. Then, they had vanished from the area, along with their golden dragons. The other divine compet.i.tors noticed that the two champions had forfeited, so they did too as well. It seemed the compet.i.tors don't want to fight or even struggle against an unfamiliar monster. Yeah, they're powerful deities alright. Sadly, the youthful Na.s.sus doesn't have an enchanted transfer card. Since, he was transferred by the other deities handling the event. More than that, it seemed they're not returning soon. In turn, he can't return back to Celestia Heavens on his own for now. Thereupon, Na.s.sus and his jade dragon were the only ones left, so they had to continue the strange race on their own, regardless of what happens. As he was still racing along the skies and getting near the monster, the dragon spoke to him,

"Hey kiddo...it seems we're in a tight spot...".

Little Na.s.sus nodded. Then, the dragon said more,

"Listen, I suck at fighting but, I can dodge and move away fast if you guide me, just steer me like you always do. Although you suck at speeding me up. Ugh, this is the first time I've ended up in last place.".

Na.s.sus didn't mind the latter unnecessary comment of the dragon and he just made a determined look,

"Okay, got it!".

It seemed, the jade dragon's speed during the race now was wholly dependent on Na.s.sus's coordination and control in which the kid lacked. Since, it was his first time for pete's sake. Afterwards, they sped up and approached the menacing penguin monster's airs.p.a.ce. The monster took notice and locked its sight on them. There after, the gargantuan penguin lashed out its white tongue that was filled with obsidian spikes at little Na.s.sus and the dragon. Thankfully, young Na.s.sus steered the dragon's horn leftward such as the dragon was an aircraft. In turn they were able to dodge the first attack with not much problem. While the monster was open for attacks, little Na.s.sus remembered something,

"What did big bro Miro said? Oh yeah...magic...".

Soon, its las.h.i.+ng tongue returned to its gaping bill. While for the youthful Na.s.sus, he aimed his left hand at the monster and then he cast out,

"FIRE BOLT!".

That sudden moment, the kid's palm let out a searing bolt of fire that struck the monster's sleek and s.h.i.+ny black body. Sadly, his magic had no effect whatsoever. It appeared the monster's body was hard as metal. Na.s.sus was shookt. Later on, the monster retailiated by bursting out a powerful chaotic beam infused with the magical stream of pulsar lights and miasmlike darkness. A penguin that shoots beams, how original. Little Na.s.sus steered the dragon to the right side in order to dodge the destructive burst of distortion. The dragon sweated, as it was avery close call,

"Phew! That was a close one and it seems your magic's not strong enough huh. Don't worry, I'll cover ya...".

"DIVINE BENEVOLENCE!",

the dragon cast out. Suddenly, little Na.s.sus felt a divine magical energy had surged throughout his body. Not only that, his body was spewing out bluish magical energy rapidly, as the boost was intense. Sooner or later, the kid brought out his hand again and this time he cast out,

"ICE BOLT!".

The next moment, he let out a chilling blast that was even more powerful than his previous magic, such as it was a destructive torpedo that would freeze anything. As the freezing bolt had contact with the monster's body, the monster felt the powerful impact and a part of its body was frozen as well. The monster countered by making a powerful vile burst that could topple anything in line. Though, little Na.s.sus just steered down, making the dragon to dive and dodge its powerful beam attack. Afterwards, little Na.s.sus seized the opportunity and cast out another magical attack simultaneously,

"NATUORIA BOLT! NATUORIA BOLT! NATUORIA BOLT!".

That sudden moment, the kid burst out three consecutive fast neon-glowing missiles that had the element and powers of nature. As those had contact with the monster's abdomen, the monster felt the sting of poison, although it became even more aggravated. Soon enough, the monster tried to gnaw them down with its sharp fangs repeatedly by leaping and flapping funnily in succession. The fight was kinda hilarious as the monster looked-like it was doing a frenetic dance. Though, little Na.s.sus just kept on steering the jade dragon, so they were able to dodge all the attemtpts of the monster, while he was bursting out powerful magic shots at it. As a long time pa.s.sed, the giant menace was growing weary, as it had incurred lots of damages. Soon enough, the monster's crimson eyes glowed. Then, it summoned out black thorns and white thorns from beneath the sands that tried to strike little Na.s.sus and his dragon from below. As for little Na.s.sus, he tilted and controlled the dragon like it was an acrobatic airplane to dodge all of the incoming thorns below. Thankfully, they were able to dodge all of them in quick succession. The monster grabbed the opportunity and leapt high into the sky. Young Na.s.sus looked above and he was sensing that the colossal penguin was about to slam its huge and heavy belly on top them. As for the jade dragon, he expressed with a disturbed look,

"Oh sh*t! It's a FALLING FAT PENGUIN!".

For some reason, the little Na.s.sus didn't try to control the dragon and dodge it. Instead, he was deep in his thoughts regarding something before,

"I remember I brought out a weapon...ummm what was it again?".

In a split second, he remembered it,

"Oh yeah!".

The next moment, he brought out his left hand up high and he cast out with a loud voice,

"BLADE MEMORIA! REZETTA!".

Afterwards, his left hand was now wielding a sharp and narrow blade that was molded from various crystals in which he had summoned before as well. The dragon was feeling that little Na.s.sus was trying to get up for some unusual reason,

"What are ya doing kid?".

Although, little Na.s.sus just ignored him and he just jumped high into the sky.

"OI KID!",

the dragon pleaded. Since the young Na.s.sus seemed to feel he can't jump higher, he brought down his right hand and cast out,

"GALE THRUST!".

The next moment, Na.s.sus burst out a powerful gale from his hand, turning him to reach even higher. Soon, he penetrated and entered through the monster's stomach from below using his trusty enchanted weapon. Through the dragon's eyes, he noticed that the kid has been swallowed inside, making the dragon to be disappointed,

"Sigh...he's done for...".

Afterwards, time slowed down around the area for some reason. Then, in a split second, the monster was being sliced and diced internally in quick succession. Soon enough, the monster was decimated from the inside and the brave little Na.s.sus emerged like a miraculous hero from the burst of black stardust.

"No...way...",

the dragon said with his jaw-dropping expression. Soon, the dragon caught the victorious kid on top of his back. Thereon, the dragon congratulated his success of defeating the menacing creature,

"You've done great kid...you've done great...".

For some reason, little Na.s.sus looked pretty much exhausted but, he still nodded.

Returning back to Otorine's situation, the intensity among the crowd had ceased, although Otorine was still praying for her youthful Na.s.sus. Who knew that these G.o.ddesses could pray for their people as well. Sooner or later, Shunya noticed that the tv channel was back online, so she told her friends,

"Ooooh! It's back on!".

Otorine had stopped praying with her eyes closed. She focused on the tv screen. There after, her eyes were seeing the male and female emcees on their tables through the flatscreen tv. The male emcee made a relieved sigh and said,

"So yeah, the racing event has been postponed. Though, atleast all of the contestants are safe and sou—.".

"Wait! Where's the adorable kid?!",

as the female emcee interrupted. Thereupon, there was another live footage below their lower left. It had shown the contestants who had returned safely at the greenbelt outskirts of Celestia Heavenly mall. Sadly, the statement that the female emcee had said was true, little Na.s.sus was nowhere to be found. In turn, the male emcee was convinced and deeply worried,

"You're right Thereza, he's not there...well he's not a G.o.d or G.o.ddess so that would be expected...".

Then, he suggested,

"Though, why don't we have a look, shall we?".

Soon, the news report had changed and the screen had shown an actual clear video of the decimated penguin along the barren sands. Not only that, little Na.s.sus and the dragon were still floating above the sky and the kid was wielding his sharp crystal blade. While the scene was focusing on the glorious youthful Na.s.sus, the voice of the shocked emcee was heard,

"DO MY EYES DECIEVE ME?! Ho-hoh! This little kid defeated the huge stupid penguin on his own!".

The female emcee expressed herself,

"Well, that kid is still the ONCE s.h.i.+NING HERO Na.s.sUS!".

Thereon, the male emcee said his regards, as he was proud of the kid,

"Now that's the powerful HERO Na.s.sus we all know...".

For some reason, Yumine was noticing that Otorine was crying out tears, while Otorine was looking through the tv. In turn, Yumine felt worried for her friend's sake,

"Ori?".

Although, Otorine wasn't pouring out tears of sadness, rather she was crying out tears of joy,

"I knew you'd pull through...Na.s.sus...".

While G.o.ddess Queen Weissia was witnessing that Otorine was crying out tears of immense happiness, Weissia made a relieved smile as well. As for Aron, he walked out and left his chick, turning the woman to follow him,

"Aron? What's wrong?".

Soon, Weissia reminded Otorine,

"Oh yes and by the way, tomorrow will be the start of THAT EVENT. You're partic.i.p.ating right, Blade G.o.ddess Otorine?".

Otorine brushed away her tears and nodded to Weissia's question,

"Yes, I'll do my very best and ummm could I get another free ice cream treat our MOST BEAUTIFUL AND WISEST G.o.dDESS QUEEN WEISSIA?".

Weissia just made a stressed look, as the deities around her were trying to buy her favor by flattering her without any restraints. In turn, she was utterly disturbed in her thoughts,

"Ugh! Could they stop with their OVER THE TOP PRAISES?! They could just ask normally to be really honest...".

Soon, she had remembered something important as well,

"Also, where's Head Blade G.o.ddess Mara? I haven't seen her presence for quite a while now, especially this grand event. I need to talk to her about something!".

At the other side of the table, Senku was having a stressful look for some reason. Though, he looked rather frustrated than depressed in his deep thoughts,

"What the? I didn't order THEM to send a RIDICULOUS PENGUIN?! What's going on?! Are they disobeying my orders? Or was IT...nevermind..."
