Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

Kazuma had already fired his gun in the direction of the attack, but because of the roadside lights, Kazuma, who was standing in the middle of the road, could not see anything in the woods due to the backlighting.

After firing two shots, all I heard was the sound of bullets hitting trees.

The next moment, Kerry felt a tremendous force coming from the vehicle beneath his feet. Only then did Kerry notice that what was attacking him was something like a spear. The tip of the spear seemed to have some kind of barb structure firmly attached to the side of the vehicle. A rope was fixed to the back of the spear and began to retract inward, dragging him into the woods, like a lurking creature trying to drag him into an abyss.

The ability to tow a car that an adult could straddle is a force that seems more like that of a machine than something a human could possess.

Without hesitation, Kerry abandoned the mobility scooter, rolled off the scooter, and grabbed the chainsaw, staring into the darkness.

At the same time, a huge fish eye in the darkness was also watching him.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Give It Here

That thing again?

But that thing actually resisted. Why did it only run away before?

Kerry was confused, but he didn't have time to think about it.

Jumping out of the car, Kerry pulled out a chainsaw and rushed into the darkness. At the same time, Kazuma Sato unscrewed his mobility scooter, letting the mechanical power carry him away from the backlit area and successfully steer the vehicle around.

The intense light seemed to make the monster that had emerged from the bushes uncomfortable, and it abruptly covered its eyes with its hand.

It seems that their eyes, like those of fish, are without eyelids and cannot close.

With that light, Kerry was able to see the attackers.

It was indeed that kind of thing, and seeing it so clearly and up close finally confirmed Kerry's suspicions.

Deep diver.

The name of that thing appeared in Kerry's mind.

If that name isn't well-known, then their leader, the Shadowverse 10-cost Dragon card, is perhaps more famous: Dagon, or Dagon.

If even that name is unfamiliar, then the leader of Dagon is certainly a household name—Cthulhu.

The mere appearance of one of these beings is enough to reasonably raise doubts about whether this world is truly a stinking cesspool, because the so-called higher life forms and civilizations in the Cthulhu Mythos are more like a group of monsters filled with malice towards living beings than any superior beings in the universe.

Kerry frowned as he looked at the thing and began to doubt the extent of some people's unreliability.

"No, you call this a wish-murder case?"

Kazuma was also somewhat surprised to see the fish heads emerging from the bushes.

That's right, this time there were not one, but three. At this moment, one of them was pulling on a sharp spear with a rope.

However, they didn't seem to like cooperating. When one of them failed in his attack, the other two fish heads simply dodged rapidly in the grass, as if they were aware of the danger of bullets.

Despite its failed attack, the monster did not flee but instead opened its fish mouth and gills, letting out a sharp, low roar.

At the same time, he bent down and crawled through the bushes on his hands and feet, rapidly approaching Kerry.

Realizing he had become a target, Kerry became wary of the two monsters still hiding in the woods, noticing that they were also carrying similar projectiles.

So he stopped and retreated to create enough distance to react, while placing the chainsaw on its side to facilitate horizontal and diagonal slashes, thus preventing the opponent from using the advantage of crawling on all fours to launch a surprise attack from below.

Thought and action are completed in an instant, but the opponent's attack route is truly unexpected.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the monster, like a bolt of lightning, leaped over the roadside guardrail and pounced directly at Kerry from above.

As it lunged, the trees behind it swayed, likely as it used them as leverage to leap.

So fast!

The speed was incomparable to that of the one being chased by Kerry and Kazuma. Even with the reaction speed of Kerry, who had devoured a village of ghouls, what he saw in a flash was that ugly, monstrous face opening in the air. The face, with its uneven, rocky surface like that of a grouper, still had some water stains remaining. Its outstretched claws were slamming straight down towards Kerry.

"Om!!"

Kerry gritted his teeth, bent down, and struggled to lift the chainsaw.

The immense force even caused the high-speed rotating chainsaw to produce a whooshing sound.

"boom!"

Before I could react, I felt a tremendous force coming from my hand, and blood with a lingering fragrance flew out into the air.

It seemed that even the monster hadn't expected Kree to be so much faster than an ordinary person, and it too was injured.

Kerry heard gunshots, probably because Kazuma had started exchanging fire with the other two.

However, Kerry had no time to pay attention to that, and he didn't know the extent of the damage. Kerry just struggled to press the chainsaw down.

"Om!!"

The violent sound of wind breaking through the air came again, but at the same time came excruciating pain.

A tremendous force slammed into Kerry's shoulder, and Kerry actually felt his entire body being lifted into the air by that force.

"boom!"

A loud thud came from his back. Kerry felt that his spine was probably broken. In fact, he was embedded in the guardrail on the seaward side. The guardrail, which had been weathered by wind and rain and was even designed to prevent cars from falling off the railing, was dented inward by the impact.

“You lackeys, don’t get in our way. You asked for this.”

The monster, which had been silent all along, suddenly started to speak.

The voice was just like a parrot mimicking speech, full of strange and odd-sounding Japanese.

However, Kree deduced from his words that he might not be a true Deep One, since Deep Ones are a very proud race that would not communicate with humans unless absolutely necessary, let alone use the term "lackey."

"This is the most lenient solution we could find."

The monster approached the fallen Kree step by step, raising its claws, but the next moment, Kree, who had fully recovered, stood up again in the monster's terrified eyes.

"Bang bang bang!"

This time it wasn't a chainsaw, but a Misaka Iaijutsu. Kerry quickly drew his gun and fired three shots.

The thing reacted very quickly, rolling on the ground, but it still managed to get shot.

Inhuman blood flowed from the arm that was blocking the attack. A flash of pain appeared in the opponent's bulging fish eyes, followed by a sharp howl. But instead of fleeing, the howl was followed by another fierce charge.

"boom!"

As the monster charged forward, Kerry pulled the trigger once again, and the bullet instantly pierced through the creature's white fish-skin-like belly.

The Deep Ones are physically superior to humans, but their protection is only physical. According to the description, a smoothbore gun could actually take down a Deep One, but it was not effective against groups of them.

However, the monster with blood flowing from its abdomen chose to pounce on Kerry again. The huge force slammed into the railing, and the monster and the human began to tumble down the mountain road.

After rolling for about three seconds, the monster came to a stop by crashing into a tree with its dorsal fin, and the two were now very close to each other.

"what?"

But Kree, whom the monster perceived as already dying, actually raised his fist in front of it.

"Snapped!"

A powerful punch landed on the Deep One's left eye. The immense pain caused the monster to swing its arms and legs wildly, leaving several deep, bone-revealing scars on Kree's body.

But Kerry didn't stop. He reached for his pistol, which was nowhere to be found. Kerry, who was also sitting on the ground, kicked the monster's chest, which was leaning against the tree. The kick seemed to have caused the monster's back fins and spines to break due to the pressure.

The other person immediately tried to push Kerry away with both hands and feet, while turning their head to try to catch Kerry's movements with their other eye.

But what greeted it was a tremendous sense of foreignness.

Kerry reached his hand into the monster's open gills and grabbed something soft, then began to pull it forcefully out of the gills.

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Ten Born Evil Brats, This Old Man Will Now...

"Aoaoaoa!"

A strange scream mixed with a howl.

It seemed that the creature's vitality was not as strong as its physical strength. The half-fish, half-human monster suddenly exerted its strength, accurately grabbed Kerry, and pulled him down the mountain.

This time, no trees stopped them, and the incident ended when they crashed into a guardrail again.

During this time, Kerry also saw a notification flash before his eyes.

[Sato Kazuma is dead and awaiting resurrection...]

When Kerry recovered, all that lay beside him was a corpse still barely warm, staring at him with its remaining murky fish eyes.

"Tsk!"

Kerry clicked his tongue, realizing that the only weapon he had left was the dagger he kept close to his body.

However, Kerry's fighting spirit did not diminish. If there were only three of them, he would still have a chance even if he went empty-handed.

He stood up, took out his dagger, and stabbed the monster several more times to make sure he didn't miss any.

A white light emanated from the monster's body, and this time it smelled like sashimi.

Kerry slowly climbed up the steep hillside.

Soon, Kerry found his pistol.

Unfortunately, when Kerry returned to the road, there was no one there.

Not to mention monsters, even Kazuma's corpse was gone.

Only two broken-down vehicles and lingering aromas at the scene testify to what had happened there.

Kerry looked in the direction of the scent and saw that the other person had left by following the direction of the grass.

Three minutes passed exactly as Kerry observed all of this.

With the firelight, Kazuma, panting heavily, appeared beside Kerry.

Kerry explained the situation to Kazuma.

Kazuma looked around and found that his gun was gone. Somewhat annoyed, he went to Kerry's car and pulled out the javelin-like object.

"I shot and wounded both of them. What do we do now? Should we chase after them or continue searching for those students?"

Kerry thought for a moment and realized that at those speeds, it would probably be too late to catch up if they started walking the mountain path now.
