So I'm a Snake, Who Cares?

She knew we couldn't easily get out of this situation.

'First, triple combination!'

For now, I had no choice but to trust Pelerian's plan.

'Creating one imaginary monster.' That's what Pelerian said.

I climbed onto Lady Gorilla's shoulder.

「Using Majesty to enhance 'Crown of Connection lv2'」

Originally could only connect with one target.

But if I enhance the skill using Majesty.

「Connected with Iron Arm Gorilla lv21」

「Relationship with connection target is 'subordinate'」

And I was simultaneously connected with Isil.

We were soon one.

「Sharing Gigantification lv3」

Lady Gorilla started growing.

About five times her original height.

「Using Lightweight lv6」

Supporting to handle the terribly increased weight.

Isil, who had also grown giant, wrapped around Lady Gorilla's enlarged body.

And thus what appeared to the world was.

A giant green giant walking on two legs.

"Aaaaah!"

Screams echoed from the audience.

I saw frightened humans through gaps in the vines.

Hmm, not a bad feeling!

「Connection target makes numerous people tremble in fear」

I wonder what we look like.

The appearance of this fake monster, the green giant, seems to have quite an impact.

Good, let's draw aggro like this and then collapse after holding out a bit.

There are many strong people here.

Not just a few soldiers, but professors from the Emerald Schools too.

There are the king's guard knights, and above all, Chancellor Balanyar who is one of the heroes.

They will defeat us without fear.

Isil is a plant. And not just any plant, but a Demon Hunter's Vine.

Unlike ordinary vines, it actually had something that could be called a 'head'.

The cotyledon that was in sprout form from the very beginning was that whole thing.

Other parts could be cut or torn off without any problem.

That is, 'leaving Isil's enlarged body pretending to be dead and escaping.'

That was the best plan Pelerian could come up with.

'But...'

Something suddenly occurred to me.

'What if Lady Gorilla or I get hit?'

"Well, accept it as fate."

'...'

True, no one can make plans that are 100% successful.

But no one was attacking us.

Even the Chancellor seemed to be sticking close to the king instead of casting magic.

'Advisor, try roaring.'

"O-okay."

Lady Gorilla with just her head showing roared loudly.

"Kuhohoho!"

At the same time, as if the roar was a detonator.

Bang bang bang!

Explosions occurred throughout the audience seats.

W-what!

It wasn't me but it looked like I did it.

And some people in the audience started causing riots.

"The Nord people never forget revenge!"

Among them was a man shouting loudly as if using amplification magic.

"Northern tribe. If they're Nord. They're a tribe that doesn't get along with Solion."

Northern tribe?

When the man took off his coat, exotic fur clothing was revealed.

"Your kingdom will pay for its sins today!"

He said that while pulling out and unfurling a flag from his clothes.

Is that the Nord tribe's flag?

But why suddenly... Don't tell me!

'Are they terrorists!'

This is terrorism.

It's clear from the bombs going off everywhere and the knife fights breaking out.

And the royalty.

Made a very honorable choice in this desperate situation.

"Protect His Majesty! Gather!"

The king and royal family gathered around Chancellor Balanyar.

The injured Leon, Phili and Princess Lily too.

And the knights surrounded them protectively.

Chancellor Balanyar even took out his staff and chanted.

Massive magical power gathered.

"Movere ad Palatium-!"

My goodness!

They disappeared.

"Oh ho, group teleport huh. Must have laid down magic circles beforehand."

Just the royalty slipped away.

It was like they were waiting for this response.

"The barbarians summoned monsters!"

Someone shouted that.

No, these northern tribe terrorists summoned us?

Crash!

The terrorists even opened the cages containing monsters.

Filthy monsters that were starving in there jumped out in droves.

Just as they were about to pounce on innocent audience members.

'Advisor! Those ones you tamed right?'

"Y-yes, that's right." Find your next adventure on empire

'Tell them to stay put and behave!'

Lady Gorilla nodded and roared.

"Kuhooo!"

The charging monsters stopped and sat down obediently around us.

That sight must have looked quite scary to the humans.

「Humans tremble in fear」

「Your majesty increases further」

Majesty accumulated as much as it could.

Just a bit more...

"You fiend!"

Then a knight in plate armor jumped down from the audience seats.

A warrior wielding an axe spear.

I don't like axe spears.

Moreover, that lion decoration on the shoulder...

"Iron Lion Knights' Vice Commander, Berger Tangent, will slay this monster!"

He flashed and charged.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And I felt Isil emitting unpleasant mental waves.

For a moment my vision tilted.

At the green giant's ankle area. A bundle of Isil's vines was cut off by the axe spear's aura.

If it had been a bit higher it would have cut Lady Gorilla's ankle too.

Right, he's Gunter's subordinate and the knight order's second-in-command.

Boom!

Cheers erupted when we fell.

"Kill the barbarians! I'll handle the monster!"

The knight looked very confident.

He charged again with his axe spear raised.

We can't count on luck this time.

'Swing your fist!'

I ordered.

Gorilla Mom swung her heavy right arm at the knight.

"Too slow!"

Unlike Gunter, this one talks too much.

Just as the vine-wrapped fist and aura-wrapped axe spear were about to collide.

The outcome of that collision was clear.

I didn't want Isil getting chopped up anymore.

'Isil! Unwind!'

Literally, the tightly wound vines suddenly unwound.

And I had already moved to Gorilla Mom's right fist.

「Using Black Scales lv3」

My eyes met the knight's.

What he probably saw was a pitch-black tiny snake leaping at him.

「Using Heart-eating Leap lv6」

「Using Acceleration lv7」

I was faster than that knight.

Much faster than swinging an axe spear tangled with vines.

Chomp.

I bit past the knight's neck.

Mm, salty taste.

And returned to my original position, sticking to the vines again.

Though the knight finally broke free after chopping up the vines.

"Kuh, kuugh."

But I had injected plenty of 'Deadly Poison: Neurotoxin lv5' into his neck.

His face turned purple as he collapsed.

That was more disappointing than expected. I was a bit nervous since he was Gunter's direct subordinate.

Maybe he was actually really weak?

「Killed Iron Lion Vice Commander Berger lv145」

Nope, he was strong.

「Your level has increased」

「Your level has increased」

「Your level has increased」

「Your level has increased」

「Your level has increased」

「Your level has increased」

「Your level has increased」

「Your level has increased」

「Your level has increased」

He was quite strong actually.

And I took him down in one shot!
