She was not worried about that . The problem was with Veldora .
He may attempt to do a wide range, large-scale attack, supposing that Ramiris would use her protection magic .
That would be incredibly dangerous .
And so she had to say it now, or either herself or Beretta would get hurt .
“Hmm . Indeed . I have many methods of attack, but most of them cover a wide area . You really can’t make a barrier, Ramiris?”
“Actually, there is a very weak barrier up right now . But as there is no energy, I am worried about how much it can withstand…”
“You were always a weak one . ”
“I’m not weak! It’s just that you and Beretta are strangely tough and way too strong!”
“Kaaahahaha! Well, yes, I am the strongest indeed . ”
“Hmm…hmph . I admit that you are amazing, master, but I think there is room for debate as to whether you are the strongest . I am quite impressive myself, when I care to try . If you want, I can show you my forty-seven special moves?”
“Oh? How interesting . Yes, let’s see how useful your power can be!”
That was Veldora’s reaction to Ramiris’s words .
It really wasn’t the time for Ramiris to start boasting, but her dislike of losing did her no favors in this instance, and she said something she shouldn’t have .
In the first place, it didn’t matter how serious she got . Ramiris could never win against Veldora, and there was definitely no room for debate .
Ramiris herself understood this, and her eyes swam over to Beretta for help .
“Lord Ramiris . Your many wonderful skills and secret weapons should be saved for another time . ”
Beretta said in a calm voice .
Many wonderful skills—he had said, but the truth was that he had never witnessed anything of the sort .
But Beretta was perceptive enough to leave that out .
“Uh, um, yeah . Yes, yes! It would be a waste to show my special attacks in a place like this!”
Ramiris was simple .
And so she quickly switched gears and nodded at Beretta .
Beretta smiled gently and then turned to Veldora .
“And Lord Veldora, don’t tease her too much . ”
“Uh, yes . But, Beretta . Aren’t you too soft on Ramiris? I have a feeling that it’s because you spoil her that she becomes so full of herself…”
“Maybe it’s just your imagination?”
“Yes! Full of myself? I would never be like that!”
I don’t know why, but Beretta is always so cold towards me… Thought Veldora .
However, he didn’t want to argue here, because it would be two against one .
In any case, it was indeed important that they think of safety measures while they were in this unknown world .
As Veldora agreed with this, he nodded and thought for a while before speaking .
“Alright . Alright . Then I will protect Ramiris . As for these special attacks you have, those can be saved for the very end . ”
“G-got it . Yes, this attack is quite dangerous, so that would be for the best . Okay, so you can protect me then, master!”
“So Lord Veldora will guard Lord Ramiris and I will focus on attacking them . ”
“Hmm . Perhaps it’s because I can’t sense any energy, but my ‘Universal Perception’ is not very sharp . Beretta, don’t let your guard down . ”
“Understood . ”
When all was said and done, Veldora was also very soft towards Ramiris .
And so in cases like this where there was danger, it usually ended with Veldora protecting her .
And–
Then the three of them encountered the battle .
I’m dead! Zaza closed its eyes as the fangs of the Murder Dog approached .
However–the moment did not arrive . There was only the sickening sound of hard metal scraping against hard metal .
(Hmm? What had happened?)
Zaza’s eyes opened cautiously . An unfamiliar figure stood there .
(Who is that…? The shape was strange… Was it an Automata or a Machine Doll that was made for combat? Or perhaps…it was also a Cyborg?)
Of course, it was only Beretta .
Though, it was no surprise that Zaza wouldn’t be able to tell what it was .
After all, Beretta was a Chaos Metalloid, which did not exist in this world . But he looked like a doll with spherical joints .
Of course, the body was formed of Adamantite, and Beretta could freely mold it as he willed . It was like a fluid metal that allowed him to look like any other human .
However, Zaza knew none of this, and had no idea if Beretta was a friend or an enemy .
But in the moment, Zaza decided that it was very unlikely that Beretta was hostile .
After all, it had saved Zaza from the fangs of the Murder Dog .
“Hey, I don’t know who you are . But thank you . Those things have fangs with a special magnetic current…”
Zaza said that much before suddenly realizing something strange .
Why, the person who stood in front of him had the Murder Dog’s fangs lodged in his arm .
No .
The fangs were slowly being pushed out now .
Its arm was beautiful, like a work of art as the surface rippled like liquid, slowly pushing the fangs out .
And after it was finished, there wasn’t a single scratch left .
(Is this real!? I have never seen or heard of such a thing? What laboratory invented it!?)
Zaza was in shock .
And it didn’t end there .
Right in front of the Murder Dogs, Beretta began to calmly talk to Zaza .
“…Analysis of language patterns complete . It seems that I can use ‘Thought Transmission’ even without energy, as long as I read your mind waves directly . Also–I believe I detected some unknown electromagnetic wave lengths . It was I who interrupted the fight, now…man or animal . Which one should I aid… I would prefer it if we could stop the fight for now and talk . What do you think?”
Beretta had been saying things that Zaza could not understand, but suddenly, he started to talk very smoothly in his language .
There was a strong will behind it, and Zaza felt that the stranger was more human than robot .
Beretta looked at his own arm to confirm that it was in good order .
The Murder Dog’s fangs had really gone through Beretta’s armor . But that didn’t mean anything .
Beretta had transformed the shape in order weaken the impact, molding it the enemy’s attack .
As for the electromagnetic waves… Beretta wasn’t a precision machine, and so it had no effect at all .
It was a meaningless attack .
“Hey, you! This is no time to be talking like that! That thing is called a Murder Dog, and they are the strongest anti-human murder weapons . You can’t run from its numerous sensors . You have to kill it!!’
Zaza shouted . Beretta raised a hand for silence and then said:
“You must calm down . For now, I shall guarantee your safety . And in exchange, you can tell me what I want to know . ”
“Alright . I’ll tell you anything . But we have to run away–what!?”
Once Zaza had agreed to it, Beretta moved before Zaza could even finish .
It was so fast that Zaza could not even follow his movements .
And neither could the Murder Dogs .
