《[Second Saga]》Chapter 92: Baptism
Advertisement
The vibrations in the cave even startled the [Bearilla], although it noticed the pigs coming towards he and had stopped when they saw him, he thought they were afraid of him and ignored them entirely after this. Then he focused his entire attention on Porkto and his dozen bodyguards but just when he thought it was only going to be 13 against 1. The situation changed immediately when Porkto roared.
Upon seeing the army start to charge again even the [Bearilla] felt a slight fear. The [Bearilla] was only one beast, and there were thousands of [piglets] ready to charge straight towards him. Although it would be impossible to trample him because of its sheer body size, the impacts to its limbs would without a doubt start to stack with each hit. The result? Was of course what the pigs and beast thought.
Although the bear changed its target to the pigs and swung at them numerously, the infinite amount of pigs stampeding was simply too much and easily started to overwhelm him. Noticing that such a situation, that for once Hydra wasn’t the focus of attention, he decided to use his body to its highest capabilities.
The moment that Hydra was about to reach the beast, and the beast’s focus was elsewhere Hydra used his entire strength to leap up onto the beast. Now Hydra was mounted on top the beast. In which the beast was furiously roaring and trying to rid Hydra off of his back. However Hydra was determined to show off his super pig like skills. Although he was in a different body and it was at first awkward, the system helped him get used to it immediately and the moment Hydra thought something his body would react perfectly to match up with him. Although if it was the care of a humanoid body of differing heights or balance and he attempted to use a weapon or his martial arts, the system would not be able to cope with such complicated maneuver. However simply allowing him to use the body of a pig effectively was by no means difficult.
As such when the Beast started to angrily move about Hydra had already digged his blunt teeth into the thick skin of the [Bearilla] causing numerous damage markers to appear over its head. All the meanwhile Pan was being shaken and flung about while crying softly in the air holding onto Hydra for his deal life. Thought when the pigs saw Hydra miraculously hold on their attention was not on the small little panda but solely onto Hydras courageous appearance. In fact the pgis were so in awe that they momentarily forgot their charge and rammed into others. But instead of getting angry they continued to stare at Hydra.

Some even started to speak out.
“ A [Piglet] among [Piglets]!
“What a true [Piglet]!”
Some of the female pigs even started to speak and fantasize about Hydra.
“Ah! What a man, if only I could have him for a night. I’d oink all night!”
“Kyah! He’s so manly I must make him mine!”
When Porkto saw his new brother keeping his own, he made a admired smile that even slightly gave off the impression of pure happiness. After all he gained a truly strong brother what king wouldn't be happy at such an occurrence? Was he worried about Hydra taking over? Naturally he was not after all they were all the same species who led them didn’t matter! Although he knew that Shadow had a tough past, he knew that for him to learn illusion magic to become a human, or to venture by himself was no easy feat and he must be quite strong. Only now was Porkto able to see his strength for himself.
Naturally, Hydra was too busy trying not to fall off, even with using his entire jaw strength, with each swoosh of the [Bearilla] he felt his entire jaw would break. Although at the same time he felt happier that he was continuing to hold on. As for the [Bearilla] it wasn’t stupid and noticing that Hydra continued to hold on and that the pigs were no longer charging him, he decided to flip over and crush the pig once and for all. During the slight delay where everyone would be momentarily stunned it would escape!
But the [Bearilla] didn’t know who his opponent truly was! Hydra was still hydra even in pig form althought his strength was severely weakened he still had his ability to think on the spot. And when Hydra noticed that the [Bearilla] wanted to flip over, and when it rolled Hydra jumped with all his power straight in the air. At such a wonderous sight all the pigs were dumbfounded, including the [Bearilla] as if he walked straight into the trap of this black coloured pig. At this moment the [Bearilla] was turned around and laid on his back, perfectly open for the heavy tonne like pick to prepare its descent onto the beast.
Seeing the perfect opening Hydra felt compelled to make a name for such an awesome move and as he did he roared in the air while he was falling.
“PIG SLAAM!”
Ding!
You have created a personal skill for use!

[Pig Slam ☆☆] lvl 1
The heavier the pig the more damage this skill will do! Use of this skill has the potential to stun enemies when struck in sensitive areas.
Boom!
The thunderous sound of Hydra ramming straight into the [Bearilla] caused the ground to collapse inwards, although if this was a simple body slam it wouldn’t have such destructive force but now it was the [Pig Slam]! This was entirely different body slam all together. It was easily show by the damage of the ground around it. The moment the two collided Hydra felt a slight backfire and took 100 damage. As for the [Bearilla] it took 500! As such a window popped up and it was stunned! When Porkto saw this he roared in the air giving no time for the [Bearilla] to recover and the result was naturally the defeat of the [Bearilla].
-------------------
Hydra then sat on the sidelines and no longer continued to fight the [Bearilla]. At first he was reluctant to allow the other to take the experience and items he soon released that it shouldn’t have mattered as they were all fighting together, and sure enough after the defeat Hydra also gained a significant amount of experience. When he calmed down Porkto had already rushed over and called to him.
“Haha brother Shadow!”
“My king!”
“Please call me Porkto!”
“Very well Porkto!”
“You were amazing there Shadow! It was because of you that this fight was so easy.”
“Haha thank you, I tried my very best.”
Porkto endlessly praised Hydra and felt even closer towards him. Hydra also felt a slight connection to this pig, naturally it wasn't only because he was the defining cause of this pigs evolution but because even though he was a king he was naturally friendly and good willed. It made it quite easy to get along with him. After a few minute of small talk, while the pigs were collecting the items of the [Bearilla], Porkto finally changed the topic.
“Shadow. Allow us to baptise you under the Bread God!”
“Cough cough! What? What does that mean?!”
“Oh! That’s right I forgot you wouldn’t know about the Bread God, because you were raised in a different land. Here come with me I will show you!”
------------------
After following Porkto in silence, Hydra was starting to worry what was going to happen. Not because he was worried it would harm him physically, but Hydra was worried that an entire new army of Bread followers were about to be created. Naturally all the pigs had already worshipped the Bread God here, however Hydra hadn’t seen the craziness in their eyes like his did to his followers. But after hearing that there was a baptism he couldn't help but think that their fanaticism might be at the same level of his companions!
Soon Porkto arrived at a room in the cave. The only difference about this room was that it had a piece of cloth covering the entrance, while all others there was no door or covering over the entrance. Noticing this Hydra started to sweat. Without any delay Porkto rushed inside beckoning Hydra to follow him.
At this point it was only Porkto and Hydra who had the qualifications to enter, even Porkto’s bodyguards were unable to come inside. When inside the first thing Hydra noticed was an altar. Although it was a bit crude, as pigs it was already the best they could make specially out of stone. On top of this altar was a single piece of bread. Although this bread had numerous areas where small chunks were taking out of it, for some reason when Hydra looked upon the bread he couldn’t help but feel it was a holy item. Naturally to the pigs this single item was their treasure and they all would be willing to sacrifice their entire species to protect it and when Porkto arrived next to it he turned and started to speak to Hydra.
“This piece of Bread, only those who have great qualifications and utmost sincerity to the Bread God may have a piece and be blessed. To this day it is the dream of all [piglets] to have a piece of our sacred treasure. And to this day I have only allowed my 12 bodyguards to have an opportunity. Now, you will be the 14th including myself who will have a piece. If you swear to follow the Bread God for eternity, the Bread God will never forsake you. He will always be watching over you! You might even receive his blessing and become stronger! Now Shadow! Make your decision!”

The Isekai Police (aka "Earth's Advocates")
When evil kings summon kids from Earth to be used and abused as fast-leveling soldiers in their petty wars, the Isekai Police will be there to stop them. A group of ex-isekai protagonists in their own right, they utilize their collective skills to fight for the end of summoning abuse. Artyom Choi, cynical ex-hero and founding member of the organization, is sent to investigate the presence of an Earther on an innocently idyllic World where no summoning has supposedly taken place. His mission: rescue the Earther and figure out how he got there. Dark secrets lie beneath the surface of paradise, however. Will he be able to find this new hero and get out before whatever malicious forces brought them there doom them both? Book 1 has been finished! You can read Book 2 here in parallel or even before Book 1 if you want more TOAL than Artyom! https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/47708/the-isekai-police-hero-summonings-are-overrated This story is meant to be a deconstruction of the isekai genre that references and sometimes pokes fun at various tropes. Artyom isn’t some kid whose goal is to amass Levels or a harem. In fact, all he cares about is protecting other Earthers, and won’t let anything like that get in the way! So expect to see: -A mature main character who still has some flaws. -Character development over the course of the story. -No harems! (see last point) -A vibrant world full of interesting people, deep culture, and mysterious lore that gets uncovered as the story goes on. -Plenty of funny moments along the way! -The presence of a few cliched tropes and stereotypes only for the sake of poking fun at them. So step in, take the first leap, and uncover the next hot take on this expansive genre! My discord here: https://discord.gg/Zc8CHSrxVr
