So I'm a Snake, Who Cares

This time she seemed determined to give a proper scolding.

She swung her tail fiercely.

Slap! Slap!

She struck her children's bottoms.

In other words, she was spanking them.

The babies wailed at the stinging pain.

Though I've never raised children, I could understand her intention.

"A parenting method that imprints fear."

She's teaching them not to go near that stone tower.

Very very scary things will happen. Like that.

The reason for deliberately getting overly angry and even spanking them must be that.

The problem was that arrow was aimed at me too.

A critical situation of getting hit by a tail bigger than my body.

I acted on instinct.

"Saa..."

I slightly opened my mouth and made a face like I knew nothing.

The tail flying toward me stopped hesitating in mid-air.

The wyvern mom stared intently at me.

Can't stop the acting. Maintain the most innocent expression possible.

Finally, when a drop of drool fell from my mouth.

The wyvern mom quietly lowered her tail.

Then, she wiped her eyes with her tail.

Surprisingly, the wyvern mom's eyes had become wet at some point.

Why is she suddenly crying?

Even with my brilliant brain, I couldn't grasp any clues.

"She must be heartbroken about having to leave her deficient child alone in this harsh world." Discover more content at m,v l'e-.net

'That can't be!'

"With such a dumb expression, how could a parent not worry?"

It wasn't a dumb expression but an innocent expression.

'But how do you know wyvern moms so well? Were you a wyvern in a past life? Or a mom?'

"Nonsense."

In the end the wyvern mom even licked my head.

Why do mothers lick their children?

"To clean them. Mostly. Or just instinctively because they cherish them."

I'm very clean, and I'm not even her real child.

Since I, the ringleader, didn't get spanked but rather received care, the triplets seemed upset about that.

"Pikekekeke!"

"Chuaak!"

They protested violently but what can you do?

If you're jealous, you take off your wings and legs too.

We had already gotten quite far from the group where the nests were gathered.

It seemed impossible to reach that stone tower today.

Pelerian was disappointed but it couldn't be helped.

"Kugagak!"

Since the babies hadn't finished growing yet, it seemed hard for them to take off alone from the ground.

In the end, the wyvern mom carried us all on her back at once.

Since the babies' bodies had grown bigger in the meantime, she couldn't have everyone hang from her feet anymore.

Whoosh, whoosh-!

Her wingbeats were heavy.

The wyvern mom took flight carrying all of us.

The babies without hands lay flat pressed against their mother's back.

Their appearance looked quite unstable so I tied them together with vines.

"Kuguk."

The peaceful flight suddenly became rough at that moment.

Boom...

A thunderous sound rang out ahead.

"Pipipi."

"Kee..."

The babies trembled in fear.

How could they forget this sound?

The sound of stone pillars collapsing.

The sound of nests being destroyed by destruction beams.

The sound of invasion.

"Keeeek!"

Since we were hanging on the back, we couldn't see ahead well.

But we could tell the wyvern mom was casting a destruction beam.

She threw her head back and shot a beam from her mouth.

Boom!

The beam cut through the clouds.

What was she trying to hit? Another wyvern? Or...

When I stuck my head out, I could soon tell.

The wyvern mom had shot at another beam coming from that direction.

The beams collided in mid-air.

Boom boom boom boom!

The result was one beam vanishing, and the other beam deflecting.

The beam that disappeared from being weaker was the wyvern mom's.

The opponent was none other than Triple-headed Wyvern Chugota.

Her beam passed by our side.

A hot blast of wind swept by, nearly making the triplets fall.

"Another attack?"

Chugota had already attacked once and taken the wyvern mom's nest.

When animal groups attack other groups, it's often due to territory disputes.

In other words, there was no reason to attack right after taking territory.

"Saaah!"

But what can we do about a situation that's already happened?

Chugota had led her group all the way here to Delfram.

The wyvern mom beat her wings fiercely to increase speed.

But the current situation was the worst.

Of all times, while carrying all her babies on her back.

Given the wyvern mom's size it shouldn't be too much, but it would be disadvantageous for gaining speed.

Especially now when she has to fight 'that' Chugota.

"Gruuuu"

"Wooooo"

"Duuuu!"

The cries from Chugota's three heads were bizarre like sounds from hell.

She seems about twice the size of the wyvern mom.

Despite that, her speed is actually a bit faster.

'At this rate the kids will all die.'

What the wyvern mom fears must be the babies on her back.

'Kids. Run away.'

I looked at the babies.

Our eyes met.

With mom busy now, I was the one to command the kids.

'Three, two, one...'

I untied Isil's vines.

Though the triplets had scared faces.

'Dive!'

"Saak!"

Fortunately they followed my direction.

Or maybe they just slipped.

With over 100 kilos of weight removed, there should be a big difference.

Thanks to that the wyvern mom could accelerate a bit more.

Swoosh!

Chugota's 'Chu' head barely missed biting by an inch as it passed.

The wyvern mom barely avoided it.

She looked down worriedly at her babies, but they were working hard to descend.

It would be good if they could hide in some shade between stone pillars.

However, now wasn't the time to worry about them.

Peeeng!

Chugota prepared another triple destruction beam.

I had witnessed that power once before.

I wrapped Isil's vine around the wyvern mom's neck like reins.

Since it worked with the kids, maybe...

I pulled hard on the reins.

Whether my intention got through, or whether the wyvern mom had the same thought, she suddenly ascended sharply.

The triple destruction beam was fired in a straight line.

The beam powerful enough to burn the air and create plasma.

Passed by us toward that stone tower behind.

"Ah, no!"

Pelerian screamed.

If that destruction beam destroys the dungeon...

Boom!

But surprisingly, the beam couldn't even reach the tower.

An invisible wall.

Something like a barrier or shield blocked that powerful beam.

"Yes!"

'After being so scared.'

"Uhahaha!"

Pelerian seemed proud of the dungeon's defense system.

"I remembered."

'What!'

"Over there, get closer to the stone tower! There's a reason wyverns fear Delfram."

There was no time to ask more, so I pulled the vine sharply to signal.

'Mom! That way!'

"Sak, sasasaak!"

Shouting like that.

The wyvern mom clearly feared Pelerian's dungeon too.

However, the dungeon was in the opposite direction from where the babies were escaping.

She made her decision and chose a direction.

Leading Chugota toward the dungeon.

"That, that's it!"

I could see it too.

The huge obelisk.

From holes in its walls, golem figures in human form were crawling out.

Though they looked small from far away, they were enormously huge.

One looks this way.

I feel hostility.

The will of a stone guard showing it won't permit approach.

"The awakening of my obelisk!"
