114-Winner of the Takegami Budokai




 
Oh, my God!

 Leo is surprised at the size of my magic circle.

 It's not surprising. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

 I've summoned anyone who can compete with Leo's speed to this place.

 Even the Water Spirit King Undine can make it manifest for a day with a magic circle of a thousand words.

 However, the amount of magic power they have is so enormous that even summoning them will consume even more magic power than summoning Undine.

 Furthermore, for some reason, I poured in about a hundred times more magic power than I did when I summoned Undine and summoned this guy.

 Naturally, summoning it to me has a great advantage. According to the lore, it has the ability to follow a number of beasts and run the fastest of all of them.

 Now is the time to show its true worth!

 A huge pillar of fire went up in the center of the arena.

 And at the place where the pillar of fire disappeared...


 A bright white puppy appeared, curled up and sleeping soundly.

'....Huh?

 It was a bit different than I expected.

 The one I called here was Shiloh, the divine beast Fenrir, who is a resident of my Elnor family.

 Shiloh was staying at my mansion at the Ifrus Magic Academy in Glendale. I summoned it here, to the amphitheater in Bestieth.

 I was able to call White in properly.
 Yeah, that's good.

 But the way he appeared was the problem.

 The fire spirit Mai and the water spirit May, who have a summoning contract with me, changed their appearance by giving them more magic power when they were summoned.

 So he thought that if he poured extra magic power into them and summoned them, White would also appear in his original form.

 And he was going to threaten Leo with his heroic appearance - he was going to have him do so.


 But White appeared in the form of a puppy.
 A puppy wolf, to be exact.

 Furthermore, despite being forcibly summoned, White continues to sleep.

 ........brazen.
 As expected of a divine beast, a big guy.

 But now it's a bit bad.

''Oi, Shiro?''

Mmmm....I'm starving.

 I'm having a happy dream.
 I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to wake you up.

 I slapped him on the ground.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow! What the hell? Hey, Halt.

Good morning.

Good morning..., where am I?

 White looks around.

Don't tell me it's Bestieth?

Correct.

 White knew we were coming to Bestiae. And with so many beastmen around, he knew we were in Bestieth.

'What's going on here? Didn't a lot of beastmen get hurt during the demon attack, so they hurriedly took Tina and the others to support them? What happened to the genie? And what's this?

Ah, you defeated the demons. And I saved the injured beastmen as well. Now it's the final of the Martial God's Martial Competition and my opponent is there.

 I was pointing at Leo, who was frozen in place with his mouth open as he looked at White.

''Oh, no...no...no way, divine beast, Fenrir-sama?''

 The beastmen are the members of the divine beasts, and to the beastmen, the divine beasts are the objects that they dedicate themselves to and care for. Just as Meldy realized that White was Fenrir even in puppy form, Leo seemed to have realized who White was.

'What, the enemy is a beastman.................it's a bit difficult to do.

Come on, man. He's too fast for my attacks. Tina's going to make me a curry when I get back to Glendale.

...Is that a lot?

Yeah, I'll have a big batch made for you.

I don't blame you.

 Saying that, White's tail was swaying widely from side to side as he walked towards Leo.

 The wind danced around White.

 When that wind disappeared, a large, pure white wolf was standing there. This was White's true form.


''You beastman there, I'm sorry, but you're going to lose for a big curry.

 White's figure disappeared as he said that.

''Guhaha!''

 Leo blows up.
 White was super fast and tackled Leo.

 It was so fast that even Leo, who was wearing the magic robe of the Gale of Thunder, couldn't avoid it.

 As he was blown away, Leo managed to hold on to prevent himself from falling off the fighting table.

 But he stopped moving.

''White, get down!''

 In response to my voice, White instantly went down.
 The flying fist I released at high speed flew over its head.

 I was ready to gather my demon robe in my right hand and shoot the flying fist when White rammed into Leo. It was an insurance policy in case Leo withstood White's attack.

 That my attack on Leo──.


 It didn't hit me.

 Leo twisted his body and ducked my attack.

 It takes a certain amount of strength to drop Leo, who has a high level of defense, from the fighting table. Pushing out with a huge wall like I did when I faced off against Sally the Cat Beastmaster, there was a chance that Leo would be able to withstand it.

 So I narrowed down the range and increased the power, but it seems to have backfired.

''Gu, well, not yet!

 Leo was still willing to continue the fight, even though he seemed to have taken quite a bit of damage from White's tackle.

 But...

My attack isn't over yet, okay?

What...

 Thanks to White, there was an opening.
 There was no way I was going to miss such an opportunity.

 The first blow was avoided, but I had fired eight flying fists in addition to that.

 That's the same number that Leo had hit me with earlier.
 Well, I didn't take any damage.

 Take it, payback!

 Unlike when I put out the fire in the Temple of Wushu, if I can solidify the magic and launch it out, my flying fist can be released in a curved trajectory.

 Slightly shifting the timing from all directions, my flying fist lands on Leo. Of course, each strike is the same power as the attack that knocked down Fuburno Target.

 All eight shots hit.


 However, Leo endured.

 The former beast king was still standing on the fighting table, even though he had been hit by an attack that could destroy the unbeatable target eight times.

''Seriously, how tough is this thing...''

 The words escaped me.

 But as expected, he was at the end of his rope.
 Leo slowly fell backwards.

 Leo falls to the bottom of the fighting table.


 I've won.
 I've won.

 White roared to the sky.

 Beastmen are the subordinates of the divine beasts.
 Following White, all the beastmen in the amphitheater let out a roar.


 It became a chorus of celebration for my victory.
