Volume 7 Chapter 16: Cute Beings With Ferocious Looks

"Hello, Keith." Fira quickly flew to Keith, landing on his shoulders. She was excited. And she wasn't alone; Faelyn and Alfia also summoned their spirits. Saphir, Agi, and Quill greeted everyone. But then Saphir and Agi dashed over to Keith; one hugged his legs while the other flew over his head.

"..." That only left Alfia motionless as she stared. Quill was the only one who jumped at Faelyn and went into her shirt.

"That tickles," Faelyn muttered, feeling the little hedgehog's persistent nudges on her neck.

"..." Alfia really had nothing to say to this. She felt so lonely right now. I thought we bonded?

"Ahh, if we're summoning our spirits, can I also summon mine?" Scarlet asked.

"You have a spirit as well?" This was news to him.

"Mmhmm."

Keith turned to Alfia, "Can you explain to me?"

"Explain what?"

"Aren't spirits supposed to be an elf thing?" Last time he checked, the elves had a lot of spirits.

"It is. But demon kin also revere spirits. Not as much as elves. But we do. Especially so with fire and dark spirits. We have an affinity for them." Scarlet explained.

"I see." You learn something new every day. Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

"I'll summon him now." Scarlet raised her hand and summoned her spirit. A red magic circle appeared before them, and a cute little leopard was summoned.

"Aww, is that a leopard?" Sarah grinned as she stared at the little spirit.

"Mmhmm. Greet them." The leopard looked at Scarlet and then back at the rest. But there was a specific person whose eyes were locked on. Before Scarlet could say something, the leopard dashed at the man and jumped at his face!

"Hello to you, too." Keith took the leopard off his face and smiled.

"Nya," The leopard moved in Keith's hand before landing on his other shoulder. It kept rubbing his face onto his.

"There's nothing wrong with the words. It's just that it came from your mouth." Keith had always been overprotective of the spirit. For him to say this was just weird.

"I can't be mature?"

"Not with them. You dote on them left and right." Alfia retorted.

"You're just mad they like me more." He could see that jealousy a mile away. Even if they got close to one another, Keith was still at the top of this food chain.

"..." Alfia looked away and sat on the ground to draw circles.

"...That was a low blow, Keith," Scarlet muttered.

"Yeah." Even Herrick and Melor nodded.

"Hmpf."

...

While Keith and the others watched them from the sidelines, Fira and the spirits started to look around.

"Woof!" Saphir was the first to react as she howled.

"Okay! Let's get ready!" Fira nodded. The wolf told them there was a monster ahead of them. And when they got closer, they saw it.

A giant serpent. It continued to slither around, not caring about the figures around them.

"Is it ignoring us?" Fira pouted. That serpent was clearly mocking them; the other spirits felt that as well.

They looked so angry.

"Oh, dear." Keith gasped as he held his mouth.

"This is definitely going to be a bloodbath."
