Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

"Yes, and I am sorry, I had to stop and seal up some loose ends and make a new connection with Kali. Now it is time to leave; I can feel the island pushing me. I want everyone to stay inside because I don't completely know what will happen when we cross the barrier. I am going to go stand on the top of the ship so I can deal with the other problem waiting for us," I explained to everyone, but some people didn't wholly agree with me.

"Are you sure that is a good idea? That is probably exactly what the witch wants!" Jilly told me as she walked over to me in her human form.

"It's not that I don't believe that you are all strong or that you won't be able to hold your own. I just don't want to have to worry about any of you when I should be concentrating. Once you all have a chance to figure out the changes you are about to go through, we will start working on team strategies," I told Jilly, but she still approached me and then put her arms around me.

"You had better come back here, or I will come out there and get you myself!" Jilly whispered harshly in my ear before kissing my cheek.

Jilly let go of me and turned away, but all the girls flooded right after her. I told them all that I wasn't going to lose, but I knew that they could feel the overwhelming force, and most of them were worried.

I didn't have that fear because I had no doubt about me winning. This was not a fight that I could or would lose.

The girls broke away from me, and I nodded to them all as I walked to the end of the room where Mex was waiting for me. His arms were crossed, and he looked like he was looking at his star pupil.

"Let's go; I want you to come up to the top floor with me," I told Mex as we left the domed room and went back into the kitchen.

I didn't look back, nor did I look at Lidy; I just headed for my target. I would come back here after this was all over and really start this adventure.

"You look like you are ready," Mex said to me as we headed through the living room, and I nodded, but Mex stopped me at the door under the stairs.

Mex reached forwards and opened the door, but the staircase was gone now. There was a metal elevator waiting for us in place, and I followed Mex into it.

"This is new," I said as I looked over the buttons for fifteen different floors.

"Yes, I added a few new floors that are not like the rest and some for the new people," Mex told me as he pressed the button for the top floor.

"I still can't believe you hid this from me! This is pretty damn cool if you ask me!" I told Mex, and he looked away bashfully, rubbing the back of his head.

"Well, not that I hid it from you, just never properly explained the extent to what I could do with it. Not that it's important, the most I can do for battle is summon weapons that only I can use. There are ways I could allow you to use it, but that would mean creating a Spatial Construct like Noel does," Mex explained as we rose, and I nodded.

p "That makes sense; the weapons are your constructs. Still, not everything is about the battle. I had no idea that you were responsible for the Keep! Look at what you have done here? I couldn't wrap my head around something like that!" I cheered, slapping Mex on the back.

"You really are something else, but let's talk about Thesta before you go out there," Mex told me, and I nodded, then blinked.

"Who?" I asked, not familiar with the name.

"Tiga's mother and the Sea Witch. Her given name is Thesta, but that is not her true name. Only those with contracts to the Old Gods can no that name. You become equal once the name is given, and the contract gives you half of their power. The problem is that all tales of this happening are the same. Too much power, and they die, giving all their energy to the Old God," Mex explained, and I nodded and knew that I could be a but to that.

"So if I could learn Thesta's true name, I could essentially tame her?" I asked, a bit curious, and Mex's eyes shot wide.

"That is not what I said, boy! What did I just say?!" Mex barked at me, but I grinned.

"Look, you are right, and I can't handle it now, but I was able to tap into much more of my power on Kubrick. I think there is a possibility that I might have the capacity in the future," I explained to Mex, and he calmed down as we reached the top floor.

"You make a fair point, but the chances of you getting the names are not likely. The tales of the few Heroes and Demons that have tried took on long quests in order to gain favor. Remember, in the god's eyes, we are nothing but passing fools to be used for their enjoyment," Mex said as the metal doors slid open to another wooden door, and we walked out of the elevator.

"True, but we are in no hurry, and there are enough of us here. I am sure that we will be able to outwit a god if we all work together. Just relax, though. I am going to delete this copy of the Sea Witch, don't worry. I was just curious and am just tossing ideas," I told Mex, and he seemed to relax, but it was time.

I could feel the barrier getting closer as my arms' hair started to raise. I was ignoring the biggest thing that was coming, but talking about it would change nothing.

The memories were where the true battle would happen.
