Book 8: Chapter 27

Book 8: Chapter 27

Merdie defeated all the 5 knights.

She also received a lot of damage, but Seira would heal all her wounds right away. Thanks to her, Merdie wasnt cowered by the knights and continued defeating each of them.

Sally and Lilia didnt manage to attack the knights directly, but they acted as Merdies support by covering her blind spots and deflecting the knights assaults.

Thanks to the trio backing her, Merdie managed to annihilate each of the knights possessing fire, water, wind, earth and lightning attributes respectively by herself.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

Merdie had collapsed to the floor and was staring at the ceiling.

Seira recovered Merdies stamina, but she was thoroughly exhausted mentally because she had been pushing her concentration to the limit while fighting off Halts knights.

Nevertheless

I did it meow.I..I defeated those Bakemono with five attributes meow

Merdie raised her right hand in the air and balled it into a fist. She was brimming with happiness.

She could feel her own progress.

Thanks for the hard work, Merdie. Well done.

Halt. Im super tired, meow.

Halts voice resounded from the bracelet on Merdies right arm.

His training method might be harsh, but he would generously reward his comrades when they accomplished his drills.

Merdie was looking forward to that reward.

Halt met Merdies expectations.

What do you want for a reward? Do you want another massage?

Meow!?

By massage, Halt referred to his hand massage.

When he first did it, it was because he wanted to enjoy the sensation of Merdies paw pads. She really enjoyed the feeling on her palm, apparently.

She couldnt forget the massage that Halt gave to her, so she tried doing it to herself, but she didnt achieve the same comfortable feeling that he gave her.

There was also a time when she requested Luna to massage her. It was better than when she did it herself.

However, compared to Halt, it was far from enough.

I want Halt to massage me again.

That thought had been constantly on her mind since then.

However, for a beastkin woman, the act of offering her palm to the opposite sex clearly meant one thing submission.

It was not something commonly done, even among spouses.

Merdie acknowledged that Halt was a powerful person, so if he required her to give him her hand, she would do so without any hesitation.

However, to do so by her own volition was something that went against the instinct of the beastkin, so she couldnt do it no matter what.

Its okay even if its not a massage.

I want that hand massage, meow!

Merdies desire to become more comfortable surpassed her instinct as a beastkin.

Okay~! Lets have your reward after were back at the mansion, alright. By the way, do you want to challenge the 12th floor?

N-no. Lets call it quits for today, meow.

Yes, Im actually afraid of moving on beyond here.

I also give up, meow.

Indeed.

Seira, Sally, Lilia didnt seem interested in moving forward, either.

Got it. Great job, guys. Alright, Ill teleport you guys back here.

Halt said then he teleported the four of them back to the Master Room.

And the monster there was

O-Oy!! Arent those inferno wolves!?

Elmia noticed the true nature of the monsters gathered around Luna as she stood alone on the floor.

A-arent they the strongest among the wolf-type monsters? Theyre S-ranked!! (Leaffa)

This is bad. Luna, hurry up and run!! (Youko)

L-Luna, run!! (Mai and Mei)

Everyone was worried about Luna.

Lunas voice echoed through the master room from her bracelet.

Halt, please help me!

Eh!?W-what!?

Hakua and Leaffa were perplexed because Luna had went out brimming with self-confidence, and yet she immediately asked to be rescued.

I-I told you, she cant handle it!! Master, hurry up and go to Luna!!

Youko urged Halt to go to Lunas rescue, but

Halt didnt move an inch.

Thats only natural.

He already knew that the Halt Luna was calling for wasnt the person inside this room.

Something jumped out of Lunas bracelet.

And that was Halt.

Five Halts surrounded Luna as if to protect her.

Luna then casted her magic on them.

Max Power! Max Magic! Max Concentrate! Max Speed! Ultimate Guard!

Different types of auxiliary magic flowed towards the five Halts.

Halts status was frozen because of the Evil Gods curse, so all those support magic wont have any effect on him.

The true Halt, that is.

The five Halts were all made out of Bunshin Magic.

It was a spell that fashioned the non-attribute knights into Halts figure.

And because Luna had leveled up, she could now cast auxiliary magic towards the magical spells created by other people.

Halts clones didnt have the infinite magic possessed by the original body, but they could still wear magic suits when going to battles, so their fighting power wasnt inferior to the original.

The attack power and speed as well as defend power of the clones of the strongest sage had been further elevated thanks to Luna.

The five Bakemono who already surpassed Halt when it came to fights that were mainly about physical strength were now protecting Luna.

Can one of you protect me? The rest of Halt, please annihilate all the monsters of this entire floor.

Okay! Ill protect Luna.

Gotcha. Ill hunt the monsters.

Same here.

Ill go to the left side.

Alright, then

Lets go for the kill!! (All 5)

The four Bakemono were released into the 16th layer of the Dungeon Ruins.
