Abel:  “Well, as you can see, I can’t raise my right arm, and I can’t put much strength into my left hand. Delicate work is definitely out, and…whoa? !” Abel pulled a ring out of his bag and tossed it to Subaru. “Put that on the better hand! We have no time.”

Subaru:  Pressured by Abel’s overbearing tone, Subaru quickly caught the ring and put it on the middle finger of his left hand. In addition to the black gemstone in the setting, it had a high-class feel and an odd, intimidating sort of aura.

Abel:  “It is a ring with sealed magic. Put it to your lips before using it. It will expel fire, though there is a limit to how much.”

Subaru:  “Huh? Magic? Lips? What are you…?”

Abel:  “It’s coming.” Abel drew his sword, leaving Subaru behind as Subaru struggled to catch up to what was going on around him.

Subaru:  Drawn by the masked man’s sharpened gaze, Subaru quickly grabbed his whip, too. With that, he had prepared his gear as best as he could, when…

Subaru:  “…Hey, come on, you’re kidding, right?” As he lined up beside Abel, both their backs to the sealed entrance, Subaru was dumbfounded by what had appeared before him. Slithering slowly across the ground, it suddenly appeared from the darkness. A lustrous, green, scaly body that looked almost dripping wet—a giant snake. It was the same sort of demon beast he had encountered twice before already in the Badheim Jungle.

Subaru:  “This is an elgina…?”

Abel:  “Tsss!! !”

Subaru:  With a hard, dry gulp, Subaru cautiously asked for confirmation just as the giant snake opened its mouth wide and let out a roar, as if to answer his question. Subaru froze, feeling the force of that roar wash over him. “Elgina” meant big snake. And the ritual of blood meant facing the greatest challenge. So the wall that Subaru and Abel had to clear was…

Mizelda:  “Fight and prove yourselves true warriors! The eyes of the Shudrak are watching!”

Subaru:  “Gaaaah! I knew it!! !”

Subaru:  Mizelda’s spirited voice called out to them from atop the cliff, and the other Shudrak broke into cheers. As those voices that were not quite support or encouragement rained down around them, the snake readied itself—

Abel:  “It’s coming, Subaru Natsuki!”

Subaru:  “I can see that! Damn it! It’s been one trial after another lately!” The snake growled, drowning out Subaru’s complaints as the ritual of blood began. 5 The demon beast elgina that inhabited the Badheim Jungle. From what Abel had said, “el” apparently meant big, so “gina” was presumably snake. Or maybe it was some unique term the Shudrak used. Either way, I can save the contributions to cultural anthropology for later. “I have to focus on the enemy in front of me first…!” The snake opened its mouth wide, baring its sharp fangs as it leaped at them. It was more than thirty feet long, like a big tree had gained consciousness and was rampaging around the jungle.
