Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Lani looked at me a bit shocked, but I turned back to the table and pointed to the village's east side. Lani came over to the table and gasped; the strike time was some were around this time, which would be lunch.

My observation skills from my Water Sphinx Totem were on full torque; being constantly fed by the Fire Force Pact, I spotted a sundial on the front deck. It was about ten mins before the Strike time, but we could make it there without a problem.

The problem was that I couldn't read the notes that were under the time. I was slowly starting to piece the language together, but I would need a good hour of grilling Lani about the letters and words.

"We can make it there, but I need to know what I am going to be dealing with so I can make a plan," I said as I turned and looked down at Lani, who looked worried.

"This is the Behmonth attack, but they didn't come yesterday. That means that they will be coming with more this time! We need to let everyone in that area know so they can evacuate!" Lani said and then turned from me, rushing to the front door.

I wanted to tell her that I could take care of them, but It would be just easier to deal with the problem myself. It was hard to fight while protecting people, and Lani getting the people would be a good plan just in case I had some trouble.

I took off running but only switched to my Wind Force Pact. I still needed to think, and the speed was more than enough for me to reach the other side of the village in less than a minute.

I did have to dodge and weave through the crowds, but I was thinking the entire time.

I wasn't sure what a Behemoth was, but it sounded big, so I would more than likely want to use Earth and my Tsunalily Totem. The fortitude and size would be suitable for whatever came at me.

*I can help you! I can become whatever you become, and then you can change to something different. I won't be as strong as you, but I can still get big!*

Kali's voice rang in my mind softly, and I nodded and stepped outside of the village. I focused on her presence now that she spoke, and Kali emerged from me.

"Thank you for finally letting me out! I thought we had a deal! I don't want to be stuck in there alone all the time! Idiot!" Kali said to me, and I ruffled her vine-like hair and squatted down in front of her.

"Sorry, things got busy, but I will let you out with the other girls later when I get home, okay?" I asked, and then I pinched her nose playfully.

"Fine, but you had better not forget! It takes a lot for me to get through to you! You always have so much going on inside your head, so I had to catch you at the moment that you make your choice," Kali said as she pushed my hand away, and I stood back up, summoning the Earth Force Pact.

My body became rigid, and small mountainous peaks started to form all over my body. Then I activated Kali's Totem, and I grew to five times my size, a massive thirty feet tall.

I looked down at my body, and I was covered in stony ridges, and then I noticed a green light coming from my feet.

Kali was emitting a green light as she slowly lifted into the air until she was at my chest height. As she was doing this, I had to turn slowly and look to the east, but the trees were still mostly taller than me, but I could hear and feel something coming.

Suddenly, Kali burst with an even brighter light that overtook the sun as vines exploded from her body in all directions. Within moments she had entirely created a thirty-foot exact copy of what I was, but a twisted vines version.

I turned my head back and saw three sets of glowing red eyes coming from the dark of the forest as the steps, and heavy breathing slowed.

"What do you know about Behemoths?" I asked Kali, and she replied in my mind.

"They are magical creatures that can use some kind of weird magic that distorts the air, but I have seen creatures be turned to blood paste by it. Their bodies get sucked into one point, but I don't know if it will affect you or me because of our size. We will have to watch out if they start targeting the huts, then we have to interrupt them," Kali explained, but I was confused.

"You act like we aren't going to be able to kill these things right away. What are these things? And I thought they were night creatures?" I asked as I tried to see into the darkness, but they had stopped, and I still couldn't see them.

"These are some of the strongest creatures on the island. Maybe the Ogre was stronger, but there are three of these. I don't know why they would be attacking, and they rarely attack in packs; they like to challenge their foe and kill them in one-on-one combat. There must be something controlling them, like a Demon Lord. I have heard Mex talk about him in passing many times because of his wife, Clesh. I can hear all my sisters, and I talk with Madam Clesh often, and that helps the time pass," Kali explained to me, and I nodded as I looked out at the red eyes.

"Tell Clesh to put Jessabell into a secure room so I can talk to her when I get back and ask her to ask Jilly to prepare you a room," I said, and then got serious, "Let's go, they will have the advantage in the tree, but we just have to keep them from the village. Do not chase, and stick with me; that is an order."

Kali's copy of me nodded, and I put two fingers up and motioned forward for us to move. As we did, the eyes disappeared.
