Monster Girl Ranching in Another World-Chapter 335 This Was Personal, Goodbyes

,m I wasn't here to see the village, Noel had come already, and she was heading back to the south beach. I could see a few people on my map with her that had decided to come as gray dots.

No, the reason I had come was just to check up on the Sahuagin and Barracuda Folk. I wasn't sure how they were all doing since Hydie and my intervention to save Missy.

That had turned into a far bigger deal than I had assumed it would be. That was my first meeting with the Sea Witch, Tiga's mother.

I dropped down into the water and flowed towards the village I could see deep below on the ocean floor. I could now feel the presence of all the monsters around the island, even stronger than before.

They were waiting for me and the rest to leave.

This would mark my biggest confrontation since I came to this island, but it was nothing in my mind compared to what I have faced on Kubrick. The fight with the dragon and breaking through the pacts was far more deadly than these creatures.

Once I left the safety bubble of the island, I would be at the mercy of the world, or that is what the world thought. This world wasn't ready for me, but I needed to stop getting ahead of myself.

I had no idea just how much my power would increase yet, and having this attitude could end up being my downfall. I need to be smart and not make any foolish choices that could risk myself or any of the people I was protecting.

As I got closer to the Sahuagin village, I noticed that there was more than just the Sahuagin. Suddenly, the people seemed to spot me, and soon everyone was coming out to meet me.

"Kazz! It is great to see you! Hero of the Sea!" a familiar face called to me as a large group of Sahaugin and Barracuda Folk swam over to me.

"Shirizk! Great to see you again! Looks like I am no longer needed here!" I said with a large smile, and the leader of the Sahuagin smiled back.

"This is all thanks to you! Since the Barracuda's village was destroyed by the Sea Witch, I decided that letting them come live with us was the best route. Thanks to your intervention and getting our women back, they have seen the error in their ways. Now we live together and are mixed. Some of our women decided to stay with the Barracuda men, but not all was bad with that. It turns out that Barracuda women aren't really fans of their men and their boastful manner," Shirizk explained as the large group crowded around me.

A large Barracuda man swam forward and gave me a strange bow and then straightened up.

"I am Crass, and I am the leader of the Barracuda. I would like to thank you for what you did to free us from the hold that vile Witch had on us. Still, I cannot say that it was all her; we are also partially to blame. Thanks to you, we can now live together, mostly peacefully," Crass said, and I grinned with a nod. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

"That's great to hear! I was just coming out to check on you all and tell you that I will be leaving the island today. There is a good chance that we won't see each other again, but I didn't want to leave without seeing that things are good here. Looks like my worries were for nothing, but there is one more thing. I am sure that you have all felt the massive amount of monsters around the island?" I asked, and Shirizk and Crass both nodded.

"Yes, we were both wondering about that, but Shirizk said they were most likely here for you. We are here to help if you need fighters," Crass said, and Shirizk nodded in agreement, but I shook my head.

"No, I want you all to keep everyone in your dwellings safe. This is my fight, and I have been waiting for a chance to get payback for the last time I fought the Sea Witch. This fight has now become personal, and none of these demons or the Witch are leaving here alive," I said, clenching my blue transparent fist. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

Thoughts of Tiga being trapped down in that cave her entire life made me furious. I would make sure that I traced that bitch back to the original, and I would delete the old god from this world.

"Well, if you insist. I, for one, would not want to be at the end of your anger! That woman needs to pay for what she has done here. Just imagine what the rest of her clones are doing!" Shirizk growled in bubbles.

"About that, being of the water, you might know more about her than most that I have talked to. Is there anything that I should know or watch out for with her?" I asked, and Crass nodded.

"She can take on any form, and she has the ability to force control of others. The Witch can also use other Magics, but I am unsure of the kinds. She forced control of us to lure you out, so I would be wary of her. You are strong, but she is powerful and very old, be careful," Grass explained, and I nodded.

"Thanks, I appreciate the advice, but it is time for me to get going. I hope you all have prosperous lives, but just remember, I will be watching. Don't make me come back here unless it is to say hi, got it?" I told the two men, and they nodded with grins.

"We learned our lessons," Crass said.

"And you fixed our faces mostly, so everything should roll like gentle waves from here on out. Have a safe journey!" Shirizk said and nodded.

I turned from the group and started to make my way back to the island. One more stop before it was time to get off this damn island and break out into this new world!
