These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 198: Turtle in a turtle
She had summoned out her tree familiar to provide that barrier in time.
I knew that if she hadn’t acted in time, it would have been bad for Wang Rong, so I said, "Thank you."
With the same smile as usual, she said, "We’re still working together, so of course I would help our allies."
I was a bit taken aback by this, but I also gave a nod in response.
I certainly didn’t expect her to say something like this. After all, in the first place, the cooperation that we agreed to was just something that we agreed to to help ourselves.
I needed her because of her power as one of the five top contenders.
I had wanted to use her as a form of cover since she was someone that attracted a lot of attention, which would help draw attention away from me.
But now it seemed that she had been quite sincere in our cooperation that she would even do something like this.
I thought that she would abandon us now that we had reached the boss, but that didn’t seem to be the case. She was still taking our deal seriously and was still going out of her way to help us…
It really made me feel awkward because of how petty I had been.
It really made me feel like I was beneath her…
Taking a deep breath to calm myself, I turned back to look up at the heart that was above us.
After the long thing that came out of the heart had been pushed back, it slowed down a bit before eventually coming to a stop. The way that it remained there was as if it was wary of something, as if it was probing the situation around it.
That gave us enough time to see what the true appearance of this thing was.
It seemed to be some kind of head…No, it was some kind of turtle head, just like the one that had been seen coming out of the base of the flying castle. It was just that this one seemed to be made of the same kind of flesh that the heart was made of.
It even seemed like it had been turned inside out because of how red and pink it was.
It really didn’t seem like a normal kind of creature.
This turtle head seemed to be made of the same kind of material as the heart.
That was because it most likely was.
The heart that was inside of the turtle was actually another turtle…
Thinking about it, this was most likely the reason why the turtle head outside had suddenly dropped like it lost consciousness. It had recognized that there were those that wanted to attack it from the inside, which was why it had suddenly changed its consciousness.
It brought its consciousness inside and took control of this turtle in its heart.
This was the final Boss Monster of this dungeon.
All of the other humans that had been killed had most likely been caught off guard because of the abilities of this heart turtle. It must have created those flesh tendrils to grab at the ones that it attacked and then held them down for the turtle head to finish them off.
We had seen how sharp those teeth were and we had seen them up close, so there was no mistaking how sharp they were.
It really was strange seeing a turtle inside of a turtle, but that didn’t mean anything since it was the last thing that had to be taken down before we left this place.
It wasn’t just me that recognized this, but all the others recognized it as well.
That was why the Fire God Team and the Shining Bolts Team used us as a distraction while they attacked the heart turtle.
Only that didn’t work as there were four things that suddenly came out of the heart turtle. These things had been outside previously, but it seemed that they had withdrawn without anyone noticing them.
Everyone’s attention had been on the head of the heart turtle after all.
These four things were the limbs of the heart turtle and they went lashing out when the Fire God Team and the Shining Bolts Team tried attacking it.
The Fire God Team and the Shining Bolts Team were caught off guard by how powerful the strikes from these limbs were. They actually couldn’t even pierce through the flesh of these limbs with their attacks and had been sent flying back.
It was completely different from the manta rays that they were able to cut down with a single attack.
Was it because these limbs were special, that was why they were able to resist these attacks?
Though in reality, it wasn’t as if these were their final attacks in the first place.
It seemed like the heart turtle was always aware of this.
As if it had sensed the danger that it was in, the heart turtle suddenly gave a roar which caused more manta rays to appear. These manta rays actually came right out of the mouth of the heart turtle, showing that they were created by the heart turtle.
The others panicked when they saw this, but they didn’t get to back away in time.
The Fire God Team and the Shining Bolts Team completely used them as scapegoats to take the attention of these manta rays.
"Why you!" That was all they could shout before they were caught up by the manta rays. Your next read is at novelbuddy
The heart turtle could have easily seized this chance to take down these human teams, but it didn’t actually seize this chance.
That was because the eyes of the heart turtle were completely on the Fire God Team and the Shining Bolts Team. As well, it seemed to be keeping an eye on us and the World Tree Team out of the corner of its eyes.

It recognized the ones that could pose a threat to it and made sure to keep an eye on them.
It seemed that this Boss Monster wasn’t a fool.
