Calm Eggplant Enjoying A Simple Life (Campione - Mash Kyrielight SI Chapter 8)

Out of the smoke of one of the Kunlun Mountain peak, that erupted, a smaller mass was flying upward and outward.

"It's a bird. It's a plane."

A smoke disperse to reveal!

"It's me! The Flying Extreme Sports Mountain Surfer Mash!" I cried out like there's a camera.

Inner Mash, why are you covering your face? And are your ears red?

I slammed into the snow slopes of the mountain side, and kept surfing down. I couldn't stop grinning.

I was kneeling on the back of the shield, holding onto the handles with all I've got. I wanted to stand and surfer this correctly.

I stuck one leg back, balancing myself, while slowly keeping my weight in the center. My foot rested against the round handle. I turned to the side while looking forward, stuck the other foot against the round handle opposite to the back foot. I stood up, bend my knees in a way to keep my balance.

And just let the momentum take me.

I howled again in excitement just for the hell of it.

I weaved left and right to avoid some struck out rocks. One rock acted as a slope for me to fly off of with the speed I was going.

Oh, I was twisting up?

I tucked my body and completed the flip, landing back on the mountain side, and kept up the surf.

I heard another explosion behind me.

I looked back to see dust and evaporated ice rising up at the top of the mountain, with bites of flaming rock and magma spat up.

I should speed up, before an avalanche start.

I'm surprised that it didn't already.

"Sisters! I call you to me!" An enraged goddess's voice echoed across the mountain.

"Oh, that's why." I muttered.

I focused on speeding up, trying to avoid anything that would slow me down, only rocks that I could bounce off of to propel me down faster.

I need some distance to recover my Magical Energy, and to prepare on how to take down Skadi.

Thankfully the active volcano should keep her busy for a while.

"Come from the chilly mist. Come from the fresh waters beneath the earth. Come from the bountiful blessed springs. Come and show how all rivers of fire, summer air, and enflamed earth will eternally silence and slumber. Quench the Volcanic Heart." The Heretic God declared, calling on her Authority to cool the mountain.

Although I'm not sure how some snow, mist and water will snuff out a volca-

Ice, snow, mist, rain and coldness gathered above the mountain to form a giant sheet of ice, almost looking like a white bed sheet.

Then the ice bed sheet feel on top of the mountain unceremoniously, and I felt all the fire and heat die down.

My jaw dropped.

"Oh, that is some fucking bullshit! This shit is unfair!" I shouted. "How the fuck does she have the exact Authority needed to shut down a volcano?"

At least I can take comfort that I was miles away from her. It would take her some time to reach me. The snow teleport thing can only work at a certain range, right?

BOOM!

A giant's draconic roar echoed from the skies.

I looked back to see a giant serpentine body erupt from the frozen mountain peak, before twisting in the air, and head straight toward me.

It looked like an eastern dragon whose blue scales were made of ice.

"Of course, she has a fucking dragon." I deadpanned. "Why does she have a dragon!?" I screamed. This is double unfair.

I wanted a dragon.

No, Inner Mash, I will not focus.

Wait, Skadi's Tengliu.

Tengliu who her husband was Fengbo.

Fengbo who had a dragon form, called Fei Lien.

"And the story of her healing an animal in the forest from hunters, was actually how she first met her husband. Because of fucking course it was." I said as I drew my Masamune sword, holding in one hand.

Now what?

The dragon roared as it speed up toward me.

Shit, shit, shit, shit!

"By all the winds of the north, west, south and east, Odysseus had reached his Ithaca, his home was in sight. Yet when he rested his eyes, his men's blindness to gold's illusion released the misfortune the Aeolian King contained to safeguard him. Thus the ship's journey was undone!" I quickly made a spell of the first thing that came to mind, when speed, wind and tragedy (dragon) came to mind. "Winds of Aeolus!" I shouted the spells, and the winds around the mountain converged upon me with one purpose.

To kick the shit out of the concept of slowness from my shield's surfing.

"HOLY!" I screamed, my eyes widened, as I gritted my teeth to hold my mouth closed. I remembered to mentally dismiss the Masamune sword to its magical storage.

I almost lost my balance, as the shield blasted forward so quickly, it was like being inside a zooming tunnel, where your car suddenly breaks the sound barrier.

I could feel my cheeks making ripples from the wind hitting me in the face.

I looked back to see the dragon getting further away. I smiled in triumphed.

Then the dragon pulled its head back, then thrust its head forward with its maws open.

"And is that a fucking laser beam!" I shouted.

The beam missed me by a few meters and hit far ahead of me.

I saw colossal tower-sized ice crystals explode from the beams point of contact.

"SHIT!" I weaved around the ice structure, only for another beam to have been fired.

It was close. Like if I was lower it would have been a direct hit.

Instead it hit behind me.

The ice exploded under my shield rising up quickly, and throwing me upward and off my shield.

I was flying and falling in the air, trying to reach my shield, but it was too far away-

I saw Galahad's disappointed face in my mind, just extend his hand, and the shield appeared before him to grab.

Wait, I can fucking summoned it!

I calling on my shield, holding the large handle ring with both hands, while affixing my feet to it as well.

Thank you, Inner Mash! Fuck you, Galahad!

I landed back on the mountain, back to shield surfing, on some weird cat pose, with my ass half-pumped back for some invisible anime audience.

Another beam came, but I much easier and much faster swerve away from it.

As the ice crystals exploded outward, I jumped up, evaded a jutted ice geyser to the side, and landed on one of the curvier ice structures to swing and land back on the mountain, without losing momentum.

Okay. No complaining about my sexy surfing pose, because my balance and control was ridiculously much better.

I took a focused look on my path down the mountain. Committed it to mind, then spun the shield 180 degrees so I was sliding backward, and facing Skadi and her stupid dragon.

"Okay," I saw to myself. With a mental pull, I called the Masamune sword back to my hand. "I need..." My mind went to Chaldea's First (Official) Singularity. "France." What the fuck am I saying? "I need Siegfried." I concluded.

I needed to turn this sword into a dragonslaying sword.

But how to hit the dragon with it?

"I was going to be merciful, but now I will flash freeze your body and encase your very soul in ice for all time!" Skadi promised. Her dragon roared in agreement with its master.

"The Dragon-Blooded Knight stood tenaciously before his trial, his foe once more. It was luck, it was fate." I looked Skadi right in the eyes. My defiance clear in my gaze. "It was Fafnir against Balmung!"

The katana shined with azure light. I called on my Authority.

I swung my arm behind me, sending an aura slash arc in my path.

It struck the ice and blew it in the air as snow and mist.

The dragon flew and lunged forward at where the Campione was.

Its eyes piercing through the dust of mist, vapor and snow, along with the heavy layer of magic from that distracting attack from the magic sword.

Fei Lien saw something shining through the snow cloud. It knew that the Lilac-Haired Campione had a sun Authority. She was trying to call on it.

It would not allow her!

The ice dragon lunged at the source of light.

It was a shining shield, sliding at super sonic speed over the snow.

Its rider had jumped in the air, above the snow cloud and the dragon a second ago.

Up in the air, I saw the moment Skadi noticed me. The instant her expression turned to one of dawning comprehension as she saw what I was doing.

What I held in my hand.

I finished my flip, landing at where Skadi was, my sword striking down.

Skadi jumped back avoiding the blow.

But my target was never her.

I stabbed the enchanted blade into the dragon's neck, and let all that stored energy be unleashed.

Energy waved ripped through the dragon, holding the concept of 'Dragonslaying'.

Fei Lien's neck exploded as it was decapitated.

I used the explosion's force to add to my escape jump and landed back on my shield.

I looked back at where Skadi was, ready to summon the Longinus. I had a good feeling about my chances now.

...Who the heck was this woman?

I saw a warm beige skinned woman. Her clothing was tropical? Polynesian? She was riding on some kind of sled-Flexible flyer, I think they were called. She was standing on it, holding the robes to it with one hand like she was reigning over a mount.

In her other hand was a hunting spear.

"No more." The Heretic Goddess spoke. "No more magic, no more tricks, no more chances for you to get lucky." Her eyes were cold as I'd expect, but the warrior feriocity in them, was definitely new on Skadi.

And this was Skadi, right?

Inner Mash showed me a map of the world.

It showed me a chibi of the Heretic God in Greece as Artemis. Then waking back the chibi goddess, went to Scandinavia and her features becoming a bit softer, and she was Skadi. Then walked back further and her features softened more and she was Tengliu.

Then the chibi goddess walked backward across Asia, passing Japan, crossing the ocean. Her features still beautiful, but becoming harsher, more wild, more tan. (No, Mashu, stop thinking of her tanned ass.)

Don't give me that deadpanned look, Inner Mash. I'm under stress!

"I'm hunting you down myself. Here. And. Now." Skadi declared.

The Heretic Goddess blanked a volcano with the help of her sisters. She was sliding down a mountain next to me, even with all the wind, momentum and speed enchantments I casts on my shield, on a hula sled, holding a spear.

Hawaiian. Her origin sprang to mind from all the trivia and myths I've studied under Lucretia.

Oh, she's a Kupua. I realized. That's Poli'ahu.
