Humidafais Secret

* * *

Extra-sama calmly began explaining information about Calamity Humidafai.

It seems that Extra-sama knows about the opponent theyre currently fighting.

She must have learned about it by watching a broadcast before.

Her usual carefree attitude had disappeared, and she was now in serious mode.

Of course, Emi silently urged Extra-sama to continue.

She doesnt think she can defeat this opponent as things are now.

She needs information.

<Humidafai is a mutated individual of the Magic Turban Shell, which was bred during the late super ancient magical civilization.>

But naturally, Humidafai isnt going to patiently wait for Emi to finish organizing her information!

This super giant turban shell suddenly trembled, and then as if to crush her it created a large tsunami using its body!

A roaring wave of snail flesh surged towards Emi!

<Magic Turban Shells were originally bred for the purpose of garbage disposal. They were designed to consume any garbage, convert its energy into mana, and release it into the air They were artificially created creatures. At the end of the super ancient magical civilization, the depletion of mana resources throughout the world was becoming a problem so Magic Turban Shells were developed as one of the eco-friendly solutions.>

Emi glared at the snail flesh tsunami as she listened to Extra-samas explanation.

And then, she casually formed a Black Arm, forming it into a hand blade.

Furthermore, she poured mana into the Black Arm and activated a super giant Great Mantis.

<But one day, a mutated individual appeared among the Magic Turban Shells. That is Humidafai. Normal Magic Turban Shells release excess energy obtained from consuming garbage as a mana-infused fog but Humidafai can use the excess energy for self-enhancement.>

RAAAAAAH!!!

And then, Emi, with a battle cry, shot out her super giant Great Mantistowards the snail flesh tsunami!

GOOOOH!!!

The super giant spear-like Black Arm, fully demonstrating its power, punched a huge hole in the snail flesh tsunami!

And then, that spear-like Black Arm pierced Humidafais body behind the tsunami.

Emi slipped through the large hole in the tsunami, pulled towards the spear.

<It seems to produce fog like a normal Magic Turban Shell when its sleeping but anyway, because of this trait, Humidafai continued to grow bigger and stronger. To the point where it could break free, and devour all the humans working at the garbage disposal plant in a single night.>

But what awaited Emi beyond the tsunami were sea slugs, large and small.

They were created from the pieces of Humidafai blown away by the spear!

The sea slugs, hopping like on a trampoline on the surface of Humidafais body, attacked Emi!

<The panicked humans, using the advanced magic technology of the time, cryogenically froze the entire garbage disposal plant, including Humidafai but what happened immediately after that was the Day of Ruin. Civilization was burned down by the flames of the gods wrath, and the ice sealing Humidafai melted.>

Emi undid her Black Arm, created Black Tentacles as usual, and continued to dodge the sea slugs attacks, swaying precariously.

And then, she caught a sea slug, about the size of a baseball, that came flying at her, and casually brought it to her mouth.

<At that time, after civilization collapsed, there were no enemies for the revived Humidafai. So it extended its body and devoured everything surviving humans, animals, plants, all living things. It grew so large that the entire eastern half of this continent was covered by Humidafais body.>

The sea slug in other words, Humidafais body, is very elastic, and even with Emis jaw strength, it takes a lot of effort to devour it.

Munch, munch rip!

Munch, munch rip!

Emi bit into the sea slug, pulled, and then tore it off.

The piece thrown into her mouth tried to transform into a new sea slug, but she swallowed it without allowing it to, instantly dissolving and absorbing it.

Theres no taste.

It doesnt seem to contain much mana either.

Tasteless rubber.

If she had to honestly describe Humidafai as food, thats the report shed have to give.

<It was only then that the gods finally took action. After the demise of the super ancient magical civilization, they were trying to build a new civilization on earth under their control. Humidafai was in their way.>

Anyway, Emi can reduce the volume of the giant Humidafai by devouring it like this.

She can but

<Humidafai was recognized as a Calamity, and sealed in this place by the power of a god named Ee, the Sealing God. The reason why it wasnt defeated is because the trait of Humidafai as a Magic Turban Shell in other words, its trait of producing mana-infused fog while sleeping was useful to the gods for managing the world.>

Emi looked around.

Humidafai as far as the eye can see.

Because this super giant turban shell isnt releasing as much fog since its seal was broken, the surrounding visibility is gradually improving, but thanks to that, she can now clearly see the shell of Humidafais main body, which is as large as a mountain.

<It absorbs the mana flowing from the depths of the earth and releases it into the air Humidafai was being used as a biological device for mana circulation.>

In other words, its endless, no matter how much she eats.

Humidafai is probably growing and spreading faster than Emi can devour it.

Realizing that reality, Emi sighed.

<Therefore>

Hey.

And she finally interrupted Extra-samas long story.

What Emi wants to know is how to defeat this Humidafai.

Honestly, at this point, the historical context doesnt matter much.

What should she do?

She wanted to know that.

<What should you do? Thats simple.>

Extra-sama readily provided an answer to Emis question.

<You wont lose to Humidafai but you wont win either. So lets run away.>
