Rota coughed due to the thick smoke. Her throat, already sore from shouting, now burned with a sharp pain.

“Cough, cough—!”

Her cat ears twitched. They were strangely warm, likely because of the smoke that had gotten into them.

'Where is Kara?' she wondered.

She could see the small mecha units moving, but pinpointing Kara’s exact location was impossible.

And then came the horrific screeching.@@novelbin@@

"Kieeeek—!!"

"Kyahhh—!!"

While looking around, Rota spotted another sub-adult Chaos Beast emerging from the earth, where an injured elf student was struggling to escape.

"Kieeeek—!!"

The Chaos Beast stared at the female student, drooling a thick, viscous fluid from its mouth.

'...Disgusting.'

In her raspy voice, Rota shouted, “Nyaang—!”

A swarm of orange cats materialized from the mouth of the approaching Chaos Beast. They plunged their teeth into its throat, exploding in a shower of daggers.

"Aeooong—! Aeooong—!"

The cats glowed and swelled up, bursting apart as Rota's buff skill, [Ether Link], tied them together. It was a more effective attack than just throwing daggers.

Puh-kak—!!

The cats evaporated without leaving a trace, spreading countless daggers in a brilliant display.

“…”

…It was efficient, at least, though a bit unsettling to watch.

The injured elf girl limped toward the barricade set up by the theology students.

“Th-thank you, [Golden Witch]!”

“Oh, it's not that…”

Rota blushed at the title, reflexively denying it, but the elf student didn’t linger and quickly escaped behind the plant-based barricade.

‘I can't see where anyone else has gone…’

The chaotic sounds were overwhelming, making it impossible to focus. It wasn’t that the noise had ceased, but rather that it was so intense it muddled her thoughts.
