"It's already been 20 mins...."
Noctura muttered as she looked at the wet sand below her paws.
"We will wait for a bit more, and if they still didn't come up, then well, we can always just get in there and kill them all..."
Alex spoke as he casually waved his hand, creating chairs again.
"For you, my ladies."
Alex spoke as he bowed his head in a gentlemanly manner.
"I feel like a baggage right now...."
Alice sighed as she sat on the chair made by Alex while Ann just nodded with a sigh.
All they did inside the gate was sit on the chair that Alex made for them.
"What do you mean you feel like baggage, there's no way you guys are baggage!"
Alex spoke with a 'No way!' type of face.
"Yeah? Then what are we doing here? What is our role in this gate?"
Alice asked with her brows raised.
Yeah, she and Ann weren't too into fighting.
But there was this fact that all they did was cause trouble for Alex.
Even with them sitting in their places, they caused the whole scenario of Alex getting angry and torturing the Aquathrens.
'You are useless in a fight but you will attract trouble', that's what is meant to be baggage.
Right now, Alice and Ann's role somewhat matched with baggage.
".... emotional support.
Yes, you guys are my and Noctura's emotional support!"
Alex spoke in a low voice before he exclaimed as if he had found the right word.
Alice and Ann gave him a 'really now?' look, so Alex defended himself.
"For real guys, you are our emotional support, right, pup?"
Alex spoke as he nodded many times before he turned to Noctura.
"Huh?"
Noctura, who wasn't even listening to the conversation carefully was left speechless for a second.
'Just say yes, pup.'
Then she heard her master's voice in her head and she nodded her head.
"Yes!"
She spoke as she kept nodding her head.
"Really?" Ann looked at Noctura and asked with a harmless smile.
"Yes," Noctura replied with a yes again.
She didn't care about what it was, she would say yes if her master told her to do it no matter what, but then Ann asked with the same smile.
"Yes for what, pup?"
"Eh? Uh..."
Noctura didn't have an answer, she turned to look at Alex for an answer or help, but Alice and Ann just sighed.
"It's all right, we are not sad or anything, we are just bored..."
Ann replied as she waved her hand, but then she noticed that Alex was not responding to them so she turned to him only to find him looking toward the sea with a smile.
"Looks like they came huh..."
Ann muttered but everyone in the surroundings heard it loud and clear.
Noctura excitedly started looking in the same direction as Alex when she heard Ann's words while Alice also looked ahead, but not as excited as Noctura.
"Yes, and he brought an army with him," Alex spoke with a smile.
Alex spoke as he ruffled Noctura's fur, he then lifted his other hand up in the air.
"You want to see something cool, pup?"
Alex asked with a smile, and Noctura replied without a second of pause.
"Yes!"
"Good," Alex nodded his head as a metal spike emerged from the ground below them.
Then he twisted his wrist causing the tip of the spikes to break and float above Alex's head.
"You see these spikes?"
Alex asked Noctura who was looking at Alex's every move with utmost focus.
"Yes."
She nodded her head.
"Around 23."
Noctura's answer was precise, causing Alex to raise his brow, but then he smiled mischievously.
"What is that, Noctura?" Alex pointed toward the sea with a frown.
Noctura hurriedly looked at what Alex was pointing at, but she couldn't find anything there so she looked back at Alex but her eyes widened.
"What's wrong, pup?"
Alex asked with a smile before he added.
"Numbers don't match?"
Instead of the earlier 23 spikes, right now, there are more than 100 such spikes.
"You cheated!"
Noctura puffed her cheeks as she spoke with a huff.
"Hahaha, I just wanted to tease you a little, blame your cuteness for that."
Alex just laughed it off, but Noctura's puffed cheeks deflated as she smiled sweetly when she heard Alex's last words.
'Master said that I'm cute, hehehe...'
She giggled inwardly, but then she heard Alex's voice.
"The cool part starts now, pup."
"Umu."
Noctura nodded her head and focused on the spikes in the air.
Alex's stats were limited to SS-rank, right now, so his movements could be clearly perceived by Noctura, and the same for the attacks.
So, when she saw Alex wave his hand, her eyes followed the spikes as they wooshed toward the sea, but then the spikes disappeared.
"Huh?"
Noctura widened her eyes, then she looked at Alex for an answer but before she could ask something....
*Pierce*
"Akkhh!!"
"AHH!!"
*Pierce*
"ARGHH!!"
*Pierce*
"NO-"
*Pierce*
