What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?-Chapter 1018: This Was Not Within My Plans
"How did you… Manage to cast a big spell like that?" Lisa asked.
I scratched my cheek, "I just poured in more mana to cast it…"
"What… What is your proficiency with Mana Management?"
It took me a moment to remember the name of the tier, "Full Tier…"
She stared at me for a good few seconds before nodding her head, "I understand…"
I don't know why but that sounds really ominous to me, Lisa… Is there something wrong with it? Because it sure does sound like there's something wrong with me being at tier three for this skill…
Before I could ask her though, Odeta was already shaking my arm from the side while pouting.
"Sister Asterrrr! That's not faiiiiir!! I wanna fight that too!!"
Ok, ok, let's go back again… I admit that was really my fault…
We went back to the front of the boss room again and this time I decided that I would just concentrate on healing instead of offensive spells.
We entered the boss room again and the Frost Wyvern appeared in front of us once more, this one completely unaware of what happened to its predecessor.
Unlike earlier where the girls were cautious in dealing with it, they charged towards the monster the moment it appeared.
Come on, girls… I'm not going to steal the kill this time… And it's not like I was even doing it on purpose as well…
Odeta jumped towards it and smashed her fists down on its head, shutting the monster up and also smashing its head into the ground.
Lisa raised her hands and swords of light appeared above the Frost Wyvern, hovering for a moment before it dropped down to pierce through its wings, pinning it to the ground.
Katsuki and Emilia disappeared, their figures turning into blurs as they slashed away at the wyvern.
The wyvern let out a frost breath, more from desperation than actually trying to target anyone.
Unfortunately, Odeta just happened to be in the midst of jumping towards it so she ended up getting hit by the breath.
Icicles formed on the parts of her body that were hit by the breath but she seemed more annoyed than hurt by the attack.
Nevertheless, I used a [Heal] on her just in case as she broke out of her frost state by shaking her limbs.
The Frost Wyvern wanted to take the opportunity to let out another breath at Odeta but Delmare appeared from the side and slashed her water coated rapier at the side of its head, smacking the monster's head to the side.
The wyvern tried to snap its head at my Siren so I went ahead to use [Darkness Paranoia] to blind it.
Well, it turned out to be unnecessary in the end since Lisa's light swords were preventing it from turning its head far enough to reach Delmare.
The wyvern panicked from its loss of sight and tried to pull away, only to tear off one of its wings from that action.
It didn't even seem to realise that one of its wings had been torn off as it rolled on its back and started flailing around.
With its belly exposed, the three girls wielding blades jumped on its belly and started slashing it open.
Odeta stayed near its head and was beating it down on it with her fists.
The wyvern thrashed around for a moment more before it slumped down, dead.
I couldn't help but start clapping for them, "Yayyy! Good job girls!!"
All of them turned to me and, as one, puffed up their chests proudly after hearing my praise.
They're all so cute~
I gave all of them a head pat each before we got to work disassembling the wyvern for its parts.
Once the materials were stored away in my Bangle of Folding, we descended the stairs once more and reached our target.
I peeked through the door to see the giant monster standing inside the boss room, its red, glowing eyes looking straight ahead.

I gulped at the numbers that appeared after using [Screened].
I believe that even if I called out all of my Shadow Guards and sent them after the dragon, all of them could be wiped out with just a swipe of its claws.
Odeta cracked her knuckles, "Alright! So are we going to beat that?!"
I swivelled my head to gape at her, "No. Don't even try."
She turned to look at me as though I had just told her something ridiculous.
I rolled my eyes at her, "Don't give me that look. That dragon is way stronger than anything you've fought before."
She huffed, "That's why I want to fight it!"
"No," I repeated.
She pouted but did not say anything more.
I sucked in a breath and took out the Absolute Monster Girl Stone, testing its weight in my hands.
In order to utilise its effects, I would need to throw this at the monster to activate it. If I miss… Well… At least it doesn't disappear into thin air and I can still retrieve it.
Besides, I still have one more in my Bangle.
Taking another moment to steel my nerves, I took the step forward that would bring me into the boss room.
The girls followed close behind me, letting me take the frontline since this was something I wanted to settle on my own. Despite that, I knew they were fully prepared to rush forward to defend me if things went south.
The Hell Dragon reacted slowly, its head moving to lock eyes with me and a sudden pressure pushed down on me.
I heard gasps coming from behind and I saw the girls struggling to even stand properly.
Even Odeta's legs seemed to be shaking.
I'm guessing this was the dragon's killing intent and just a little bit of it was enough to paralyse almost my entire group.
I believe the only reason why I was not that affected was thanks to my [That's Mental] and [Over] boons.
Without those boons, I would probably be in the same situation as my girls.
I turned back and got ready to throw the monster girl stone when another roar came from behind the Hell Dragon.
The giant monster turned its head right as the space behind it tore open and a giant, white claw reached out and stomped down on the Hell Dragon.
It only had time to let out a shriek before it was crushed underneath the claw, the monster turned into meat paste.
That giant monster just died… Just like that…
The tear then exploded outwards to allow an even bigger dragon that was pure white in colour to step through.
Surrounding it were dark coloured balls that seemed to warp the space around them and just looking at the dragon felt like I was looking through a wall of water.

…
…
What. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The.
Fuck.
I was wondering why the stats were so weird to have a one at the back of such a big number, only to see it rise to two after I blinked, then three, then four…
Emilia gasped, "It's… It's a Monster switch trap!"
I turned to give her a questioning look, wondering if she didn't just make up that phrase on the spot.
"It's… It's an extremely rare trap where the Dungeon would switch out the boss monster for another monster… It triggers randomly so people might not even know the trap exists until it happens!"
So in other words… We were unlucky as fuck…
The dragon turned its sights on us and I heard choked gasps coming from the girls, all of them falling to their knees.
My boon seemed to be working overtime in keeping me on my feet but I could feel a tingle at the back of my neck as my hair stood on end.
I had a feeling that the moment I moved, I was dead.
Fucked if I do, fucked if I don't…
That's why…
I quickly used [Link Portal] underneath me and allowed myself to drop into it, teleporting myself above the dragon.
My main goal was to turn the dragon's attention away from the rest of the girls and it looked like it worked as the dragon immediately turned its gaze to look up at me.
I readied myself to throw the monster girl stone at it when one of those black balls shot a black laser at me.
I couldn't react, I couldn't defend myself.
The black laser pierced through the area where my heart was and I felt immense pain overwhelm me.
I lost my grip on the monster girl stone and my vision went black.
The last thing I heard were the screams coming from the girls before I knew nothing more.
