Others Summon Monsters But I Summon Humans Chapter 70: Tami!

The beast stepped forward from the darkness.

At first, only its eyes were visible, two faint blue points that moved slowly through the blackness like distant lanterns. The rest of it followed gradually, as though the cave itself was unwilling to fully reveal it all at once.

Yuto’s stomach dropped the mont its full shape beca clear.

The creature filled a large portion of the tunnel ahead. Its body was massive, built like sothing that had grown out of the cave rather than entered it. Three heads sat atop a thick, heavily muscled neck structure that split from a single trunk. Each head moved slightly out of sync with the others, as if each had its own awareness but shared the sa body.

Its skin was rough and uneven, layered in brown scales that looked almost like hardened bark in places. Jagged spines ran along its spine and shoulders, so curved, so broken, all of them sharp enough to catch what little light existed in the cave. Its breathing was slow but heavy, each exhale carrying a damp heat that pushed outward into the tunnel.

Then it growled.

Not once.

Three separate sounds overlapped, forming a single low vibration that seed to co from the walls as much as the creature itself.

Tami took an instinctive step backward. His heel scraped against stone, the sound too loud in the enclosed space.

Yuto felt fear settle into him in a simple, imdiate way. Not panic yet. More like understanding. The kind that arrived before action, before strategy, before anything useful.

This was not sothing they were ant to casually engage.

His mind tried to calculate distance, exits, timing. None of it helped. The cave was too narrow. The creature was too large. Every direction felt like it led back into the sa problem.

Beside him, Maya had gone still.

Her eyes were open slightly wider than usual, focused on the beast’s movent rather than its size. Fear was there, but it didn’t take control of her posture. Instead, she adjusted her stance slightly, shifting her weight onto her back foot.

That detail grounded Yuto more than anything else.

She was afraid, but not frozen.

Without speaking, Maya drew her sword.

The sound of tal leaving its sheath cut through the cave cleanly.

That sound did not remove the fear, but it gave it direction.

Right.

Running was not an option.

Yuto exhaled once, then reached for his blades. The familiar weight of them settled into his hands as he summoned Shiny and Beetle.

Shiny appeared first, blade drawn, his form stabilizing instantly in front of Yuto.

Beetle followed, landing with a heavy tallic thud that echoed through the stone floor.

Tami swallowed hard, then raised his hands and summoned his panther. The creature erged low to the ground, muscles tense, eyes fixed on the target ahead.

The beast continued forward.

Each step shook the ground slightly. Dust loosened from the ceiling in faint trickles. The cave suddenly felt smaller than it had monts ago.

Yuto moved first.

He broke into a sprint, boots striking stone in quick rhythm. His swords ca up in a controlled motion, angled outward rather than forward, aiming to create contact rather than force a kill strike imdiately.

He aid for the central neck.

At the sa ti, Maya moved along the left wall, her steps light and precise. She used the uneven stone as support, pushing off it to close distance faster than a straight run would allow. Her blade drove forward toward the joint beneath one of the side heads.

Shiny followed the opposite angle, cutting in toward the second head with a direct strike.

The panther moved lower, slipping beneath the beast’s body and aiming for a weak point near the rear leg. Its claws scraped stone as it adjusted mid-run.

Tami followed after it, less precise but faster than expected, closing the gap with brute force montum.

The first exchange landed almost at once.

Yuto’s blades struck upward into thick scales. The impact vibrated through his arms, forcing him to adjust his grip imdiately.

Maya’s strike found a joint seam. Her blade pierced slightly deeper than expected, drawing a brief reaction from the side head, which jerked back sharply.

Shiny’s blade connected cleanly, forcing the opposite head to recoil.

That opening was enough.

The panther slipped under and raked its claws across the beast’s hind leg. Deep lines opened along the scales, dark fluid seeping out imdiately.

Tami followed the movent, bringing both gauntleted fists into the exposed joint. The impact echoed with a sharp crack that briefly overpowered the cave’s natural sound.

Beetle charged directly afterward, its armored fra lowering as it ramd into the beast’s torso with full force.

For a mont, the creature shifted backward.

Not much.

But enough.

Yuto noticed it imdiately.

A small gap in their expectation of how strong it should have been.

Hope flickered briefly.

Then all three heads moved.

The left head snapped downward first, jaws clamping onto Shiny’s blade. tal screeched against teeth as the creature twisted violently and flung him across the cave. Shiny hit the wall hard enough to leave visible cracks in the stone before dropping out of view for a mont.

The right head shifted toward Maya. Its movent was faster than expected, not just physically but in timing. She barely reacted in ti, throwing herself backward as its jaws struck the wall where she had been standing. Stone shattered outward in a spray of fragnts.

The central head turned toward Yuto.

He crossed both swords imdiately, blocking the incoming strike.

The impact drove through his arms instantly.

It wasn’t just force. It was weight layered with acceleration.

He was pushed backward across the ground, boots scraping helplessly as he lost traction. His back hit a stalagmite with enough force to knock air from his lungs.

For a brief second, everything blurred.

Then clarity returned.

The beast wasn’t attacking randomly.

It was coordinating.

Each head covered a different angle, reacting to movent rather than simply striking. When one attacked, the others adjusted positions to limit escape routes. Space was being reduced deliberately. Every movent from them was being answered in a way that forced a predictable counter.

Yuto tightened his grip.

This wasn’t just strength.

It was structure.

Beetle charged again, attempting to re-establish pressure. The beast responded without hesitation. One of its spined shoulders slamd into Beetle mid-charge. The impact sent the summon rolling across the cave floor, scraping loudly against stone before it ca to a stop.

The panther tried to reposition, but a side head swept low and struck it mid-motion, sending it tumbling into darkness along the edge of the cave.

Tami refused to stop.

Even after seeing the coordination, he moved again, pushing forward toward the damaged forearm joint from earlier. His breathing was uneven, but his focus was locked on the opening he thought he could recreate.

Yuto saw it imdiately.

"Tami, watch out!"

The warning ca too late.

Tami had already committed to the movent.

The central head dipped slightly, a subtle shift that looked like an opening.

Tami reacted to it.

That was the mistake.

The right head struck first, snapping forward with sudden speed. Its jaws hit Tami’s guard and lifted him off his feet imdiately.

Before he could recover, the left head followed.

A heavy impact drove into his stomach.

The force carried him across the cave in a straight line. He hit the far wall hard enough that the sound echoed sharply through the tunnel.

Stone fractured outward from the point of impact.

For a mont, there was only motionless silence where he landed.

Then he slid down the wall and collapsed onto the ground.

Unmoving.
