-Clank! Clank! Clank!

-Ktktktktktktktkt!

-Boooooooooom!

A fierce battle!

That was the only word that could describe the beautiful confrontation happening between a heavenly maiden, who looked no different from a ferocious demon as she slaughtered tens of skeletons at the same time.

Swinging a big scythe with its crescent blade glowing with a dull yellow light, the sounds of skeleton bodies falling to the ground echoed in the area every time the blade was wielded.

The opponents were normal skeletons. Most common undead creatures that normal necromancers could summon or one found in areas with a thick aura of death, like a graveyard.

The most common monsters hardly had any special characteristics other than their steel-like strong bones filled with Mana and dead Mana.

They were dead and their bodies only moved on instincts, they themselves have no intelligence at all.

Defeating a normal skeleton undead of a normal human was somewhat easy, but the undead of knights and mages were hard to defeat.

And they were also the main creatures that certainly gave an energy nucleus or sometimes a skill stone.

But unfortunately, this big open area was only filled with some hundreds of these lowly skeletons. Almost worthless creatures that she didn't even want to spare a glance at.

There were only normal skeletons, not knights, nor mages, so she was hella bored by all this, but... she had to finish these worthless, weak, foolish fuckers.

Their bones were worth a pretty silver and there were hundreds of them, all unarmed, just relying on their basic high strength and instinctive response-ability.

They were all (Red) ranked creatures, so they were definitely easy prey for her.

Just that their numbers were great, so she wasn't having a hard time dealing with them.

She had Clover, the adorable kitten who was playing with a black crow at the far back of this fight, who can restore her lost stamina and concentration.

She was necessary for her here. The long fights were always a hassle. And the thought of something unexpected happening or something weird appearing was high during any battle, so she was prepared for that.

She used a minimum of movements to conserve her stamina.

She wanted to save her Mana too, so she wasn't using any skills or spells, just the basic movements of swinging her scythe that destroyed close to ten skeletons with every swing.

The skeletons were also just gathering around her, not giving her any time to rest.

Not that she was in a disadvantageous position... she could very well finish all this with a single big blow and it will be alright.

But she was worried about just what can come after this group.

The possibility of an entire army, a death knight, or a lich couldn't be ignored.

There was also the evil spirit, so she just wanted to be in the best condition before reaching that place.

So... fighting in this wide place, handling the hundreds of strong undead by herself, her eyes full of longing and boredom, she asked the invisible butterfly that was always with her on her neck.

"Hmmm... what is my dear darling doing Celes?"

She was worried.

She was worried about her 'friend'.

If she was facing this much difficulty, what would he, the one thrown to the lowest level of this now uncertain place, would be facing?

Maybe... he was fighting opponents far more difficult than these easy skeletons.

She knew if he were to be here, he would have finished them within moments with his countless strong light arrows.

But he was away, in some deep darkness, probably fighting opponents or armies of far stronger creatures than these weak bunches.

She wanted to know about his current situation without disturbing him, that's why she asked Celes about his current state and didn't just demand to talk with him personally.

But... the answer she got from the forever cheerful butterfly wasn't something she was expecting.

[[ We found some fluffy furballs. They were cute~ so we wanted to play with them but then they just made him fall to the ground and climbed on top of him! Bad furballs! ]]

She stopped for a moment as she heard that and suddenly created a barrier around her body.

Her face was covered with grave fear, her heartbeat rising with each passing second, and the confusion in her eyes was clearly visible.

"W-what do you mean by f-furballs?"

She was agitated by the unexpected anger in this forever cheerful butterfly.

She thought something concerning had happened to him and didn't even think that she was in her usual lively mood.

Celes was rarely upset by something and most of the things that could make her upset were focused on her master.

So, whatever the case, she must be worried about the thing happening to her master.

The fact that some 'fluffy furballs' climbed him was especially concerning for her.

No one was allowed to climb him before her, so they were also prohibited, even though the smart butterfly found them cute.

[[ Do not worry, big sis. They were just... playing? They are little children and their mommy is angry with them now.

She is scary to them, they just fell silent at her angry shout~!

You don't have to worry about him, so do not worry~! I am here so nothing could happen to him~! ]]

Well, she was reliable and now at she had explained some things in a bit more detail, the 'young' girl was relieved for a bit.

The matter that someone climbed him was something concerning, but if they were just some little furballs...

"What are these furballs? Some kind of cute beast?"

She asked as she released the barrier and the skeletons started their onslaught once again.

But she was ready and started the slaughter of the helpless, mindless creatures once again.

[[ They are some fluffy furballs~. They have a cute appearance but freeeeeeeeky looking teeth. They are colorful and the master called them povpoi.

There are thirty-three here and one bit bigger one is probably their mother or caretaker!

They all seem to respect her but she is as scary as lady Nolen~.

Hehehe. Master wants to take them home, so I think he will now just take them with us.

There isn't much happening, but be careful. You are the one in the middle of a fight right now.

Take care~! ]]

"That bastard..."

Now she knew the identity of these fluffy furballs.

And the fact that there were thirty in his path as well as he was trying to tame them was an even more surprising thing.

She knew about the great magical beasts, and she also knew they could use magic.

And there were children who just stayed true to their instincts most of the time, so it was just more amazing how he would deal with them.

Their magic was a real deal, and she knew they were dangerous creatures from the fact that some adventurers just fainted from looking at their dangerous, fatal appearance.

They were infamous for their ferocious look when they showed their teeth that could even chew steel like it is nothing, fear unwantedly surged from deep within their soul.

They were pretty cute when they were calm, but they were still strong creatures.

Mages used them as familiars, slaves, pets, research materials, and test subjects in the magic tower, so they also prohibited the harm of these creatures throughout the continent.

They were rare creatures and still that bastard of darling got more than thirty of them to his own... it was really a loss to her house, but she couldn't do anything here, anyway.

She knew from the things she had heard from her dear old crow that… he held a great natural presence and affinity, as well as combined with his mix of six natural elemental affinities, he was like an energy beast of higher rank itself.

From her perspective, she wouldn't be surprised if some weaker creature with high intelligence mistakes him for some divine beast in humanoid form.

Well, he was amazing already, and now that he was going to get some new children and apparently a mom (?) too, he would definitely raise them at his house with the other children, right?

Maybe she will get to make friends with these cute little furballs, too?

A smile was spreading out on her face just from thinking about how it would be to play with some fluffy balls of fur.

She had seen and killed some of these creatures, so she was already familiar with them. They were cute until they were calm, but when these same creatures goes out of control, they were far more dangerous than they were useful...

She knew just how dangerous a crazy povpoi would be, so she wasn't obsessed over them, but she sure wasn't worried either.

She knew the abilities of her darling friend that even her old crow had bowed before.

If it was him, she was sure that he could make those naughty little children into obedient kids, just like this mother figure she talked about.

Anyway, it meant he was doing something important that required time more than anything.

He was actually more than strong enough to defeat those fluffy furballs, but he will talk with them.

So... he was delaying his advancement by trying to have sweet small talk with an adult mother and many children.

It was a good chance for her to widen the distance between them so...

She got serious and started using 'dangerous' (tier-1) darkness attribute spells like (Dark thorns), (Dark spears), and (Dark cut) with her scythe.

-Ktktktktktktktkt!

The skull heads with a blue light in their eye sockets made a weird sound with their teeth and started rushing toward her without any care in the world.

Now, there was a smile on her face as she thought about how he would look under her- under those cute creatures.

She was also somewhat worried that Anna would be scared of their sharp and dangerous teeth, but she knew Anna... so she knew she would be alright.

A real adult tiger was a meek kitten before her, a giant turtle becoming a warm grandpa. What can some ferocious-looking teeth of some pure and cute furballs do to her?

"Good luck, darling..."

She sighed with a smile on her face, and as the light on the blade of her scythe started becoming even dimmer, she increased her speed and vanished from our normal eyes.
