Chapter 356 - Boxxy & Yuki

-----

Boxxy's memories began to emerge within her mind as she rested.

After the battle against those four powerful Gods, she had been heavily wounded, even after doing everything she possibly could…

She remembered having seen Yuki so wounded, it was horrendous to remember it again.

Boxxy's memories were not so long, she had a short life until now, perhaps a year or so, but even then, her mind had developed greatly since then.

Since she was "born" that she knew of a Master, Chaos.

She was a summoned monster, but most summoned monsters are often created on the spot through the materialization of energy through the summoning artifact.

She remembered that she was given a purpose the moment she was "born", and that was to serve her lord, her master, with everything she had.

Back then, she didn't had much intelligence and seemed rather animalistic and beastly, but after evolving, she began to slowly gain intelligence, and emotions and other things quickly flowed into her mind as she hunted down and devoured enemies.

At first she thought of them as useless, they were nothing for her other than bothersome, but then, as she slowly grew stronger and also forged her bonds with her allies, and specially her best friend Yuki, she realized that there was something more to emotions than she thought.

They made her have a meaning to her existence, they felt as if they gave her something that made her feel more alive than anything else in existence.

And she… Yuki.

At some point, without Boxxy realizing… She became more important to her than even Chaos.

She didn't wanted to admit it, and deep down she kept it hidden, she didn't wanted to think that someone else had suddenly become more precious to her than her own master, summoner, and lord.

But despite how much she tried to negate it, to deny it, it was a fact, something within her was telling her how much she appreciated Yuki… she was someone indispensable for her life, someone that she couldn't think of living without her.

"Yuki…"

She remembered how that aberrant and detestable Orc slashed Yuki's arms and almost killed her, how she shielded her from dying but took even more damage in the process, and how she ended storing Yuki in some divine realm, she didn't knew if it was in her own or another, she didn't remembered…

"Yuki…"

She felt weak, Boxxy had gone beyond her own capabilities in that fight, and her entire body was slashed several times by the enormous force of the axe of that Orc God… she felt like she was in the verge of dying, as not only her flesh was sliced, but also her own soul and everything with it.

It felt utterly painful to imagine that in fact, she had not died yet, and was here somehow surviving all of this, somehow… she had survived.

Not even her could believe it after all, it was all quite surreal.

But Chaos had come in the last moment, and ended saving her and everyone else…

"Chaos…"

At the end, she was now in a comatose, as she was dragged away and forcefully healed with any magic that the allies, she had could conjure over her, using elixirs made of the blood of Chaos and more.

She had barely managed to survive, but was so weakened and wounded that she ended falling into a comatose, and she had yet to even come out of her slumber.

However, she suddenly felt a cold hand touch her weakened body, at first, she felt scared, but then, she realized who it was.

It was the hand of her lord, Chaos.

His hand touched her body and suddenly began to slowly infuse his energy into her body.

"Ah… W-What is this? Chaos-sama… is healing me…"

"Wake up, Boxxy, I need your strength now." He whispered to her.

"Chaos-sama requires my assistance… I cannot possibly… disappoint him… Ugh…" she muttered.

She quickly got up somehow, however she could, and quickly opened her eyes, finding that her body slowly began to reattach itself, her wounds healed, and her entire body compacted once more through her shapeshifting powers into the appearance of that young girl in her late teens with brown skin and long silvery-white hair, alongside shiny yellow-gold eyes.

"What's going on? Eh? Ah…! I am healed?!" she asked.

She saw Chaos and everyone else around.

"T-Thank you so much, my lord!" she said.

Chaos smiled as he waved his head.

"No worries. I also healed everyone else." Said Chaos.

Boxxy saw that in the room where she was, everyone quickly began to wake up, completely healed and recovered this time. Chaos had used the many magic elements he had combined with cosmic energy and a lot of mana to heal them even better than before, and in fact, he even seemed to have managed to make them slightly stronger in the process.

And in that room, aside from Edward and Rot, there was also Yuki.

"Huh? Ah… I feel better now…" she said.

"Yuki… Yukiiiii!"

Boxxy suddenly shapeshifted into a mass of flesh and jumped over Yuki, entangling her with her fleshy tentacles and lovingly hugging her lovingly.

"Ah, Boxxy?! D-Do you have to be so rough?!" asked Yuki in surprise.

"Yes, I have! I really, really missed you! I was so worried, what if something killed you or anything but… You're good… You're fine! I am so happy for that…" she said.

"Y-You're happy? I-I am also happy you're okay." Said Yuki, her beautiful aquamarine eyes looked at Boxxy with bright light filled with happiness.

The two girls hugged each other lovingly as Chaos smiled that everything seemed alright.

"I am fine too, master!" said Rot.

"Yes, you did a good work there, I am sorry for making you push yourself so hard…" sighed Chaos.

"No, it is fine… I… Rot does for master!" said Rot.

Chaos smiled once more, as he petted her head and then hugged her.

"I am sorry." He said.

"M-Master…" she cried.

Chaos did the same for everyone present too, it was a small hug, but it meant a lot to every one of his servants- no, they were no longer that, they were his family.
