The rat beasts advance made Niken move backward without releasing her embrace on the little fox. This time she will make sure this little creature will not be killed by this predator. She did not want to repeat the incident where she saw the helpless tiny animal supposed to be saved instead of being killed by its predators.
She wouldn't let this weak, helpless little creature die just like that while in her protection.
Niken decided to fight and think of a strategy to defeat this rat beast.
Little did she know, this little fox was more than able to protect itself but pretended to look weak as it was enjoying her embrace. It almost even chuckled at seeing Niken so tense as she held him as if afraid that the human girl would fail to protect the fox.
The fox has planned his own for Niken and decided to keep quiet because he wanted to see what this human could do against the rat.
Of course, he would not let the rat eat Niken because Niken was his 'food'!
Hhhh… what a shame, Niken did not know that she has been made into the dinner menu for two different night creatures.
At the same time, the black supreme Alpha had finished eating its second meal. He was about to return to his master when he realized that Niken was alone with two beasts.
If only his master were here, that man would have ordered him to save the little girl with no doubt.
But since that guy wasn't here, Alpha just laid down enjoying the show that would happen between Niken and the two beasts. Its tail swayed from side to side as if it were a puppy excited about playing with its master.
He knew that Niken would not die immediately as long as the fox was with her. Before the fox eats Niken, the fox will want to kill its rival first. This show of fighting between the two beasts was what he was looking forward to.
Meanwhile, Niken ran when the beast hit her shield wall. She ran as fast as she could while the rats were busy destroying the shield. When she saw a giant towering boulder, Niken decided to hide behind the rock.
The fox rolled its eyes, noticing that Niken's heart had begun to calm down as if it was the safest place to serve as a hiding place.
Did this human girl not realize that her smell had spread everywhere, and the rat beast would find her in seconds once it destroyed the shield magic technique?
What a foolish human! Mocked the fox.
Niken couldn't hear what the little fox was thinking about in her arms. She lifted the fox's body and investigated the tiny silky body with a worried look.
When she did not find any wounds on her, Niken breathed a sigh of relief.
Niken lowered the fox and gave him a gentle push to chase him away from her side.
The fox did not budge from its place. It only sat leisurely as if it was waiting for the fun to happen. Instead, it looked at her with a gaze that was difficult to understand.
The fox had no idea how much worry Niken had for him. Has this human been never taught by her parents to never approach any magical beast on the inner side?
Although his current body looks weak and small, he was one of the most feared night creatures in this place. His current appearance was not his true form. He was only disguised as a way to lure other ferocious predators towards him.
Who would have thought that the human girl in front of him would have been hooked but had a very seductive aroma?
He was planning to eat this human, but he changed his mind when he saw an enormous worried look radiating into this girl's black eyes.
It would be a shame if this girl just died while he still wanted to be hugged and loved by this human, right? He would make this human as his slave and enjoy till he feels bored.
Crack!
The fox looked up, followed by Niken, who turned around to see a crack in the rock that was their hiding place.
"Go, hurry!" Niken's orders pushed the fox harder and made the fox walk backward.
Niken didn't have time to make sure the fox had left as the rock behind shattered into pieces making a loud crashing sound.
Niken's heart stopped when she saw a crocodile sized rodent staring at her with a greedy gaze. Niken moved backward while taking the magic dagger in her astral dimension.
Ugh! Why was it that every time she was in danger, her mind-linking connection was cut off with Kazuto?
Looks like this time, she will have to face the beast alone.
Niken activated a blue magic circle to create a wind tornado hoping that her technique will blow the rodent away. At the same time, she initiated her indigo magic circle and then used it to disguise her existence.
Seconds later, Niken's body could not be seen by the human eye, causing a certain little fox gasped in awe.
To his surprise, this human girl who looked weak turned out to have something behind her sleeves.
Unfortunately, even though Niken was no longer visible, the rat could still detect her whereabouts because it smelled a delicious aroma from her body.
But Niken was smart enough because she immediately ran around the rat's body in a circle so that the smell spread all over the place. This way, the rat beast will never know her exact position.
The black Alpha and the little fox did not know what Niken was doing because they cannot see Niken's body. But they knew, Niken's delicious scent moved quickly in a circle to fill the area around the rat beast.
They immediately knew that Niken was running in a circle. Without them knowing it, they both looked at Niken in a new light.
Even so, neither the Alpha nor the little fox was interested in helping Niken or saving her.
The little fox started to notice the amused gaze of the black supreme Alpha. Another frequency was trying to penetrate his dome array.
This frequency belongs to none other than Kazuto, who tried to call Niken through his mind-linking.
It turned out that Niken and Kazuto couldn't communicate through their mind-linking due to the little fox doing!
