5.03% Taming my Monster Girl Harem from Scratch / Chapter 30: Promise and Escape

Chapitre 30: Promise and Escape

"Ember can no longer fight! Wan Li and Xiao Bing wins!"

As soon as the announcement was made, I immediately went to Ember's side. The icy field was cracking with every step I took.

"Ember!"

As soon as I reached her side, she weakly tried to reach for my hand. From the link I have with her, I can feel her sense of disappointment and sadness. I almost burst into tears from feeling her extremely pure and straightforward emotions, but I forcefully held my tears back. Now isn't the right time to wallow in a sense of loss.

A few meters away from us, God Zeshion was healing Xiao Bing. Although it didn't look too serious from the outside, her injuries should be something pretty dangerous. If either I or Wan Li was hit by Ember's last attack, then we would probably have our ears pop and even have a few internal injuries. Xiao Bing who's smaller in size should have received significant damage.

After a few seconds of healing, Xiao Bing returned to her usual energetic and healthy self. Nodding in satisfaction, God Zeshion healed Ember with a wave of his hand. After that, the almost shattered cores were repaired and even her energy was recovered fully.

"Will, what was that last attack you did? It completely ignored our [Physical Damage Nullification]!"

Wan Li, who finally reached our location after walking briskly, agitatedly asked.

"Ah, that? It was an upgraded version of a sonic boom. With the epicenter of the waves focused on the tip of Ember's form, as soon as she crashed against the vines, she caused enough pressure variance to shatter everything in the periphery. That which includes Xiao Bing's eardrums and soft internal organs."

"Sonic-what? Pressure?"

Wan Li was filled with more questions after hearing my response. Forgetting how Science is not a thing in this world, I almost slapped my forehead.

"Well, in simple terms, Ember used a shockwave attack. Since it's not technically a physical attack but uses natural phenomenon, it managed to bypass the [Physical Damage Nullification]'s barrier."

Hearing this, Wan Li quickly nodded in deep thought.

"I see... So not just magic attacks but also naturally occurring phenomena can avoid the [Physical Damage Nullification]. It's a good thing to know! Many thanks!"

I smiled wryly after hearing her thank me. Although my hypothesis regarding what counts as physical damage was pretty much on point, I and Ember just didn't possess enough skills to overcome such an overpowered monster.

"You're welcome. But next time, I'll win!"

I may be willing to admit my defeat, however, I'll never admit that Ember will stay weaker than them. In this battle, if Ember managed to close the distance even once, then she would have taken Xiao Bing on a trip into the stratosphere. With little breathable oxygen available, a violent increase in G-Force, and the unearthly freezing temperature there, Ember should be able to win in seconds.

The next time we meet, we would definitely be stronger than her!

After we shook hands, the audience exploded in a wild cheer. I guess having such a beauty as a champion will be a plus for the committee too in terms of publicity since they didn't even try to silence the rowdy crowd. God Zeshion, on the other hand, kept his stare on my back which although made me feel honored, honestly scared me.

After our battle, we were allowed a few minutes of rest before the awarding ceremony. Although I called it a ceremony, it wasn't much to mention. We just stood on a layered podium with Wan Li at the highest, I at the second highest, and a man with little to no presence on the third highest.

The fourth and lowest podium was set for fourth place, but since Aster was kicked out of the tournament, it remained empty. The three of us stood there and received our trophies as the crowd cheered in celebration.

After that, we were led to a private room to speak with the tournament's committee. There, a total of five people were waiting. There's God Zeshion in the center. On both sides sat beauties on the level of Fina. Beside each of those beauties, sat an elderly man and a hunk respectively.

For some unknown reason, I felt irked when I looked over to the "hunk" who was smiling as he scanned the three of us.

"Congratulations to you three, champions of this year's Newbie Tamer's Tournament."

The old man at the right edge of the long table spoke in a gentle tone. His voice had a magical feel to it that makes one feel sleepy just by listening to it for a short while.

"Then, first, let's get the awards you'll receive as prizes. First, in third place, Hiden, forward."

As he called a name, the man which vanishes from my mind when I'm not looking at him, took a step forward. His movement was a strange mix of lethargy and sharpness which makes me want to look away by reflex.

"Hiden, as you are in third place, you will receive a grand prize of 1,000,000 Credits and a C-Grade artifact of your choice. This is the list of available artifacts for you, choose wisely."

After saying so, a piece of paper popped into being right in front of Hiden. He quickly took the floating paper before saying his choice. It was a bracelet-type artifact that can greatly decrease a person's presence for a short while.

"Alright. Next, in second place, Will, forward."

As the old man called, I quickly took a step forward.

"Will, as the second place, you will receive a grand prize of 2,000,000 Credits and three C-Grade artifacts of your choice. This is the list of available artifacts for you, choose wisely."

Despite feeling that the old man was just reading a script of some sort for his speech, the same paper from before appeared in front of me with a flashy pop. I quickly took it to my hand, but before I could even read it, a messenger-cum-guard looking man slammed the room's door open. His face was as pale as white snow.

"B-Bad news! The capital's prison has just had a jailbreak! Hundreds of criminals are on the loose!"

Although they don't pursue the study of science, the scientific terms related to skills were more or less studied (at least in the setting)~

Chapitre 31: Second Tamed Beast

Turning back time to the night before the finals, at a random alley in the capital, two robed figures were talking in hushed voices.

"Our plan failed again. What's more, our young master lost his taming system! Everything is that bastard Zeshion's fault!"

The robed man said to the other. Although he was whispering, the anger in his voice was apparent.

"First, we lost two of our best assassins, now, we let our lord's son's ability get removed! Nothing went as planned since we came here!"

The other one, whose voice sounded neither a male's nor a female's, said in anger.

"Now that it has come to this, we should at least ensure that we succeed tomorrow. If not, our organization wouldn't have any more future to look forward to."

"Of course, everything is already in place. Even if that cocky Zeshion interferes, there's nothing he could do."

The second robed man, after hearing about the status of their preparations, quickly nodded.

"It's good that preparations are doing well. However, don't let your guard down. Our opponent is a God Tamer, who knows what tricks he got on his sleeves."

Before the first one replied, the second robed man quickly walked away. As if to whisper it to the wind, the first man said his reply.

"We await your signal to start the war, Lord Phantom."

"B-Bad news! The capital's prison has just had a jailbreak! Hundreds of criminals are on the loose!"

The messenger said while almost gasping for air. It seems that he ran to this place as fast as he physically could

"Jailbreak?! Which jail?!"

The woman to the right of God Zeshion stood up and slammed her palms on the table. Hearing her question, the poor messenger flinched before stuttering his reply.

"I-It was the central prison!"

"Impossible! There are thousands of competent guards there!"

The old man quickly lost his composure as he shouted in disbelief. As if ignoring the old man's outburst, the woman quickly pondered before asking for confirmation.

"The central prison has [that person] at the lowest level, don't tell me..."

"Y-Yes! [That person] was sighted within the escapees!"

When the messenger said so, God Zeshion's eyebrows twitched. A short while later, he vanished from his seat like a ghost. After seeing that God Zeshion made his move, the remaining four committee members sighed in relief.

The tournament committee, which was actually composed of the top leaders of the capital city, quickly discussed within themselves before facing the three of us who were standing by the side. The old man now spoke quickly, as if his initial slow and almost hypnotic voice was just a lie.

"Now's not the time for formalities. We'll send your cash prize to each of your designated town's government offices. Tamer Will, quickly chooses three C-Grade artifacts. For Tamer Wan Li, choose two B-Grade artifacts from this list."

As the old man spoke, a different colored paper popped in front of Wan Li. She quickly scanned the list for something she would need. Me, I already selected what I wanted while the messenger was talking.

Storage Ring (10 cu. m. capacity), Venom Dragon's Nail (Poison Dagger), and Unicorn's Horn (Healing Earrings). One for convenience, one for offense, and one for protection. With these items, I could better ensure my survival in the wild. As soon as I completed my selection, the list vanished and in its place were instead the three items I chose, similarly floating in the air.

Ember doesn't need a weapon or armor yet since at this stage she's better off relying on her physical skills than relying on tools. That's why all of the items I selected are for boosting my own strength.

Similarly, after Wan Li received her selected treasures, the four committee members quickly left the room with the messenger. The three of us, who were left in the room, quietly decided to take our leave too. Rather, before I even noticed, Hiden vanished from the room.

As our destination was basically the same, Wan Li and I were walking side by side while talking. While walking along the hallways of the stadium, Wan Li mentioned something she just remembered.

"Right, I remember you want to try contracting Aster's Shadow Wolf. Although God Zeshion went out, it should still be possible to at least try."

"I almost forgot! Thanks for the reminder."

"It's fine. Rather, I'm surprised to know that you actually have enough mental strength to handle two tamed beasts already. For me, Xiao Bing is already more than what I could handle."

"Well, let's just say that my mind is more mature than my body is."

While talking about this and that, the two of us reached the enclosure where Fang, Aster's Shadow Wolf, was kept. After asking the person who was keeping watch over it if we could try taming it, he quickly gave us the OK.

Wan Li and the keeper kept their distance while I tried to approach Fang.

As I took a deep breath, I quickly sent a telepathic message to Fang which contained all of my terms and conditions, the pros, and the cons. Compared to Ember's, it was basically the same but with some parts modified to fit the situation better.

Fang, who received the contract, stayed quiet for a short moment. Although she was a wolf, her expression was more human-like than I thought. It was visible on her face that she was hesitating. I do not know the reason she was hesitating, however, I still tried to speak to her like a salesman pitching his wares for sale.

"I promise to respect your rights and not give you orders that will lead to your injury like Aster. Can you place your trust in me?"

After I said my piece, Fang stared at my face. I, too, stared back at her. We kept staring into each other's eyes until a few moments later, a flash of white light emitted from Fang.

"Congratulations!"

The caretaker and Wan Li quickly said. For me though, I was still wandering the vast amount of skill information that suddenly flooded my mind, leaving me temporarily unresponsive. A few moments later, after finally gathering my thoughts, I said my thanks.

With this, Fang is now officially a member of my party!

At long last, a storage ring. With this, I wouldn't need to keep in thought how Will brings things around with him~
