Part 5
The monsters that had surrounded the group disappeared, and Tito and Selene finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hah, hah… I think we’ve taken care of most of the monsters here…”
“Y-yes, it seems so…”
“You two are amazing! You managed to defeat so many monsters!”
Lexia jumped up and down.
“Phew, they were all tough opponents, but we managed to get through it somehow…!”
“I never thought the day would come when I would have to face the monsters of the Valley of Storms… but what about your idea, Lexia-san?”
“Oh, that’s right! Well, um…”
Lexia looked around the Valley of Storms as if searching for something.
At that moment, a roar reached the ears of the three.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrr…!”
“!”
As Lexia and the others turned around, a particularly large monster appeared from behind a rock.
Its fur is standing on end, and its red eyes radiate murderous intent.
It is clearly of a different class than the monsters they have encountered so far.
The monster that looked like a bear stood up on its hind legs, which looked like logs, and let out a roar that split the sky.
“Guooooooooooooo!”
“I-is that the boss of the valley?”
“Yes! It has the strength to tear apart even the mighty Mithril Boar with its sharp claws, and it has slaughtered countless adventurers…! It is a super-class monster that can destroy even an elite army in just half a day…!”
Despite the murderous intent directed at her, Selene readied her sword.
“It’s a formidable opponent, but if we can defeat it, it’ll be as if we’ve defeated all the monsters in the valley. Let’s go, Tito-san!”
“Yes!”
Tito also prepared for battle.
But at that moment, Lexia’s voice rang out.
“Don’t defeat him, we’ll make him our ally!”
“”E-eeeeeehhhhhhhh?!””
“Y-you mean you want to make Storm Bear a friend…!”
“W-what does that mean?”
“Guooooooooo!”
Before Lexia could answer, Storm Bear raised his giant arm.
“Oh no…!”
“Lexia-san, please step back!”
Tito and Selene jumped back, shielding Lexia.
“Gruuaaaaaaaa!
BANG!
In a split second, the arm with the vicious claws swung down.
With that single blow, a large chunk of rock was scraped away, creating a huge crater.
“This is amazing! What a powerful blow!”
“C-can you really make a friend out of such a monster?”
“Yes! If that child accepts us as strong, I’m sure he’ll become our friend!”
“I’ve never heard of such a thing, but…! Why do we have to make him a friend at all…?”
But Lexia stared at the threatening Storm Bear with unwavering eyes.
“Please, corner that child as far as you can! I’ll take care of the rest!”
“W-what do you mean, take care of it…?”
“Guoooooooooo!”
Tito and Selene braced themselves.
“It looks like it’s going to be hard to hold back against this guy… but we’ll take our chances─Flame Serpent!”
“Yes! Fierce Claw!”
“Guoooooo?
As Selene swung her blade, the flaming serpent wrapped around Storm Bear and stopped his movement.
In addition, the vacuum wave unleashed by Tito sliced through the thick fur.
However, Storm Bear easily deflected these attacks with his claws.
“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“No way, this doesn’t even slow him down…! Claw Piercing Bullet”
“Crimson Slash!”
The two of them continued to attack as they stepped back.
However, Storm Bear continued to advance without paying any attention to them.
Then he bent his limbs to pounce on his prey──.
“Guooooooooo!”
“Fierce Crushing Slash!”
Just before Storm Bear attacked, Selene swung her sword down at her feet.
As the blade hit the ground, an explosion occurred, and a fierce fire swirled up.
“Guooooo!”
“Whirlwind Claw!”
Tito then swung both of her claws sharply, creating a tornado.
The tornado swallowed the flames and blew the Storm Bear away.
BOOM!
“Guooooohh?!”
The Storm Bear was knocked to the ground.
“That was amazing, you two!”
“We got him cornered, just a little bit more! Fire Slash!”
“Yes! Sit still─Fierce Claw!”
Selene and Tito unleashed their techniques, carefully adjusting them to avoid causing fatal injuries.
A flurry of slashes and vacuum waves targeted Storm Bear.
However.
“Ooooooooohhh!”
Goooooooo!
As soon as Storm Bear let out a roar, a fierce wind swirled up, scattering the attack.
“W-what is that… A magic attack?!”
“Huh, as expected from the boss of the Valley of Storms, he can control wind magic…!”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
Storm Bear stood up in anger and growled.
“Oh no, it looks like he’s really mad! Well, I can’t say I’m surprised!”
“Awawa, I knew it was impossible to make him our friend…!”
Storm Bear took a deep breath and prepared to cast his next spell.
“We need to get out of his range!”
“Lexia-san, get behind that rock!”
“Yes! ──Kyaaa!?”
Lexia started to run but slipped and fell on the rocks.
Then, something slipped out of her bag.
Lexia looked at the mirror with the dragon decoration.
“Ah, that mirror─I’m sure it has a great effect, right? What is it again?”
“T-That’s… the Mirror of Truth!”
Selene’s eyes widened at Tito’s words.
“Could it be one of the national treasures you were carrying?”
“Yes! It’s a special mirror that repels evil spirits and magic, given to us by the Lianxi Empire!”
“Wha-? T-that’s such an incredible mirror…?”
“I see! With this──”
As Lexia picked up the mirror, Storm Bear unleashed his wind magic.
“Oooooooooooo!”
Goooooopppp, zugagagagaga!
A whirlwind approached, scraping the ground.
Lexia stood up and boldly held out the mirror.
“I’m going to bounce this magic back at you!”
Thud──Gooooooooooo!
The vortex of wind became a headwind the moment it touched the mirror.
And then it rushed towards Storm Bear.
“Guoooooooooooo!”
Blown away by the magic he had unleashed, his huge body slid across the ground.
“A-amazing!”
“I never thought you could actually reflect magic back!”
“We did it! Now he’ll be quiet──”
“Guooooooooooooooo!”
However, Storm Bear quickly got up and charged at them, furious.
“Awawawa, we made him even angrier!
“What are we going to do? There must be something else we can do──”
Lexia rummaged through the bag, and a shield fell out.
“Oh no, I dropped it!”
The beautiful shield, like a snowflake, hit the ground with a thud──.
Crack! Crack, crack, crack!
Ice immediately grew from the ground where the shield had touched, encasing Storm Bear’s limbs.
“Guoooooooo!”
“Wha, it froze Storm Bear!? W-what is that shield?
“It’s an amazing shield called the Six Flowers Shield that we got from the Romel Empire! It’s supposed to be a legendary shield that cancels any physical attack or fire… but when Lexia-san uses it, it’s amazing, like it freezes lakes and monsters!”
“I-I see!”
Unable to comprehend what had happened, Lexia watched in amazement as Storm Bear struggled to free himself from the frozen limbs, but then she shook her golden hair.
“It’s just like I planned!”
“But it looked like an accident!”
“Ah, look!”
“Guoooooooooooo!”
Having given up on escaping the ice, Storm Bear took another deep breath.
“It’s going to use wind magic again!”
“Magic is no problem for us, we have the Mirror of Truth!”
“No, wait, something’s wrong…!”
As Selene had said, the wind swirled in the opposite direction above Storm Bear, and lightning flashed.
With the power of the storm, it was clear that Storm Bear’s magical power was swelling.
“Oooooooooo…──!”
The wind and rain swirled violently as they were absorbed into Storm Bear.
“You mean he absorbs the storm…?”
“I see…! That is why the Storm Bear is the boss of the Valley of Storms…! As long as this storm exists, he can gain infinite power…!”
The wind and rain swirl violently and are absorbed by Storm Bear.
Tito groans, struggling to resist the violent storm that is trying to suck her in.
“Ugh…! It’s absorbing more and more power…! The magic is getting stronger than before!”
“Ugh, this is bad! If it’s released, I don’t know if even the Mirror of Truth will be able to reflect it!”
“I won’t let that happen!”
Lexia gazed into the distance with a strong light in her eyes and searched through her belongings.
What she took out was a beautiful dagger decorated with jewels.
“If that child is going to use the storm as power, then we have the Sahar Treasure Dagger on our side!”
With a loud shout, she held the dagger high in the air.
A ray of light shot out from the tip of the dagger.
The light seemed to pierce the dark clouds, and in an instant, the clouds were blown away, and the storm that had been swirling around the valley disappeared.
“Guooooo!?”
Selene looked up at the sky, which had cleared in an instant.
“No way… the storm has stopped…?”
“Ah, that’s right…! There’s a story about Sahar’s Treasure Dagger that says it can clear away any dark clouds…!”
“What? That’s just a random story! The dark clouds in the Valley of Storms haven’t cleared in over a hundred years! How can it clear them in an instant like that…!”
“Gu, vuvu…!”
Lexia pointed at the Storm Bear, blinded by the sunlight.
“Now that the storm that is the source of your power has passed, you must yield and obey me!”
But…
“Guoooooooooooo!”
Storm Bear gathered all his strength and pulled his frozen limbs out of the ice.
He charged at Lexia, kicking up mud as he went.
“Wha-? He still has that kind of power…!”
“Lexia-san, it’s dangerous!”
“Guoooooooooooooo!”
Before Tito could even scream, Storm Bear’s fangs were about to bite into Lexia…
“I didn’t want to use this, but I have no choice!”
With these words, Lexia raised a small weapon.
“Enough of this, you’ll be a good boy now───!”
The barrel of the gun glowed in response to Lexia’s magic.
Then, a magic bullet was fired from the muzzle.
BOOM! BANG! BOOM!
The magic bullet grazed Storm Bear’s cheek, blew up huge boulders, and then, not content with that, took a whole chunk out of the rock wall in the background and half-destroyed it.
“…G-guoo…?”
“…..”
Even Storm Bear was taken aback, and Selene asked in a hoarse voice.
“…By the way, what was that?”
“U-uh… That’s a ‘magic gun’ given to us by Noel-san, the genius inventor of magic tools that the Romel Empire is proud of, and her older sister. It can be fired by charging it with Lexia-san’s magic power…”
“I see. It’s too amazing, I’m starting to lose my senses…”
Storm Bear’s eyes have gone completely white, and he is in a daze.
“Now is the time! If I use this Spirit Stone that Giselle gave me…!”
Lexia held up the blue, translucent stone.
A clear light surrounded Storm Bear, and his eyes grew calm.
“Guo…? Grrr, grrr…”
“W-what is it? The killing intent is gone from Storm Bear…? What is this stone…?”
Lexia held up the blue stone to the surprised Selene.
“This is a Spirit Stone. Before we came to the Kingdom of Rastel, we stopped the eruption of a mountain called Mount Aurea on the southern island, and we found this special stone near the crater. It is said to contain the blessings of a great spirit and to have the power to calm violent monsters!”
“A-a stone with such amazing power…?
“However, it doesn’t seem to work on monsters with too much hostility, so we had to weaken it a bit… I never thought it would work so well, but thanks to you two!”
“I-is that so? If anything, it was because Lexia-san was able to use legendary class items… or rather, it looked like you were able to get more power out of them than they were originally capable of…”
Lexia approached the now completely tamed Storm Bear.
“It’s okay, good boy. I’m sorry I scared you.”
“Le-Lexia-san, that’s dangerous…!”
Selene panicked and tried to pull back Lexia, who was about to reach out and touch Storm Bear’s neck.
But Storm Bear started purring like a kitten and rubbed his cheek against Lexia’s.
“Grrrr, grrrrrr…”
“Eeeehhhhhh? Stormbear is snuggling with her?”
Tito claps his hands next to Selene.
“Come to think of it, Lexia-san, you’ve been adored by various monsters before! Like Sahar Camel, Vehicle Hawk and Flower Weasel!”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Grrrrrrrrrr, grrrrrrrrrr”
“Fufu, that tickles!”
Selene is stunned as she watches Lexia playing with Storm Bear.
“I-I never thought she would actually get along with the boss of the Valley of Storms…”
“It’s amazing that Lexia-san would get along with such a violent monster!”
Next to Tito, who is flushed with excitement, Selene suddenly turns her head.
“But what was Lexia-san thinking?”
“Oh, that’s right! Why did you have to become friends with that child?”
Lexia laughed as she hugged Stormbear around the neck.
“Because I wanted him to join the Exciting Sparkling Circus Troupe!”
“Eh?”
Tito and Selene looked at each other with wide eyes, and Lexia closed one eye.
“Because when you think of a circus, you think of a wild animal trainer, right? With this boy, we’re guaranteed to get a round of applause!”
“S-so that’s why you came to the Valley of Storms!”
“I had no idea you were planning such a bold strategy…”
“Guo, guo.”
Storm Bear rolls over as Lexia strokes him.
Selene watches, half lost in thought.
“It’s really amazing… Storm Bear has been plaguing our country for hundreds of years. To think that he can be defeated so easily. The monsters of the valley will be quiet for a while, and one of our country’s worries has been lifted. Did you foresee this, Lexia-san?”
“Of course!”
Lexia puffed out her chest, and Selene was deeply impressed.
“So a princess must have the same kind of imagination and courage as Lexia-san… I’ve learned a lot.”
“Um, Lexia-san is a bit special, so it might be better not to take too much from her…”
Unaware of their conversation, Lexia happily climbed onto the Storm Bear.
“Now we’re ready! We’ll go back to the royal capital and put on the greatest circus ever!”
“Guoooooo!”
Storm Bear’s reassuring roar echoed through the valley as the sun shone down.
