51. It’s a special skill, I added a special skill!
So, bear midget is just bear midget, not at all reassuring! This time, this blood fairy Yaseroth, in her bear-like state, is truly no less formidable than Zerus from the Austro-Hungarian tribe! It’s like she’s dragging me on a roller coaster, making my emotions rise and fall!
First of all, she clearly doesn’t understand what “bait” means! The moment she spotted that elven sorcerer, she rushed over as if she couldn’t wait to fight! She didn’t even give me a moment to react!
Then, fine, she rushed over—let’s consider it “luring the snake out of its hole.” However, the relationship between this fairy and the opponent is evidently more complex than I anticipated; it’s as if she’s determined to “fight to the death” with him at that moment! The outcome is obvious; how could an ordinary fairy like her handle that elven sorcerer? If I hadn’t immediately rushed over using the fairy’s power to save her, she would have likely become a bat specimen by now.
In the end, I thought that after I saved her, whether out of fear or gratitude, at least she would be a bit more obedient for a while. But who would have thought that in the next moment, just like what Zerus, Louise, and Ikusis… and every other fairy I have now did to me back then, she suddenly and rashly recognized me as her master, pressing my face and kissing me!
“Queen of the Night,” you might not care about your face, but I do!
However, it seems that this… isn’t the last thing that surprised me.
“Blood fairy Yaseroth, now serves you!”
I barely had time to think about Rose’s act of claiming me as her master because… at that very moment when she voluntarily offered this contract, it took effect! In an instant, the night around us was stained with a crimson hue, even the full moon turned red, and the scarlet moonlight enveloped everything nearby!
Even though I didn’t know much about fairies, I could clearly see how powerful this was! After all, not to mention the fairies on me, even the ones that Kephir and Nilu had obtained didn’t create such a spectacle upon their claiming!
This scarlet moonlight that drenched everything around us seemed to transform this place into another realm! In this glow, just a stone’s throw away, Rose met my gaze, and for a moment, she truly embodied the “Queen of the Night” she spoke of!
Moreover, this was definitely not some flashy, hollow display for show; after all, the script would unfold in the next moment!
【Ogilith has obtained the Blood Fairy, Yaserose!】
【The power of the Blood Fairy awakens!】
A red mist enveloped the area—was it just my imagination? At this moment, Rose’s crimson eyes appeared brighter and more vivid than before. She slowly stepped away from me, gazing at me in astonishment.
What are you staring at? I’m the one who’s surprised here. Because…
“Hiss… your power as a fairy is unexpectedly formidable.”
Clearly, she wasn’t even a self-disciplined fairy, yet the effects of her claiming were overwhelming.
“It’s not that I’m formidable; it should be you…”
Rose didn’t continue.
“She’s coming!”
In the next moment, she flapped her wings and flew behind me, then… transformed into a swirl of red mist that surrounded me.
“My ability as ‘master’ is to enhance my master’s power. If you’re just some clueless pretty boy, then even with me, you’d still be a pretty boy. However… phew~ this might just be fate; you possess the powers of other fairies. So, master, use my power to ‘deal with’ this white-haired fairy!”
Dealing with her was certainly necessary, as this was not only a promise with Rose but also a crucial part of the “main storyline” I was witnessing. But… Rose, why did you claim me so quickly? I can’t immediately agree to your request right now.
After all…
【The white-haired fairy sorceress killed Ogilith!】
The death script still existed, which only meant that even if I had obtained a new fairy, if I recklessly confronted this fairy, the final outcome would still be a dead end!
In the next moment, this fairy was already in motion!
After calmly “appreciating” Rose’s claim, she leaped directly from the rooftop of a distant high-rise!
She clearly didn’t look like she could “fly.” Wasn’t jumping down like that just suicide!?
As I pondered this, chains suddenly sprouted around the elven girl, and she reached out to grab one of them. Following the extending chains, she gracefully leaped down from a height not far from the ground, landing right in front of me.
After glancing at the “list”-like object in her hand, the elf casually tossed the paper aside.
“Good evening~ Now that you’ve got a fairy, you should be free of worries, right~”
She was clearly a dangerous individual, yet she adhered to politeness. However, that wasn’t the issue at hand!
“I’m a bounty hunter, and you, well… you were one of my previous targets. It seems I ‘overlooked’ you this time~ So, to avoid any unnecessary trouble, I plan to rectify my mistake by taking you and the troublesome fairy out right here~”
With a wave of her hand, she smiled innocently and naively, “That way, I can go back and sleep soundly~”
【The elven sorceress killed Ougilid.】
The script appeared once more, heralding the approach of a death script, deepening my suspicions.
Because…
【The elven sorceress has learned Ougilid’s identity.】
With the next script, I became even more certain: this elf knew that the “Linka” before her was me! Yet, it was precisely because of this that it felt so strange—why, knowing I was impersonating Linka, did her reaction remain so ordinary!? After all, she had been driven away by Kephiel and Nilu precisely because she had touched me!
The death script was looming, and I had no time to think further; I could only proceed as planned!
After all, right after this polite exchange, the elf’s strike would undoubtedly be merciless!
“Your name?”
“Iruxiel~ If you happen to survive, you can come to the bounty hunter headquarters to place an order; the prices are quite reasonable~”
With a dagger bound by chains, and… a short-handled sickle wielding this bizarre weapon, employing powers completely different from magic, utilizing these unconventional abilities, such an existence was regarded by ordinary people as a third, obscure category beyond strength and magic, a faction that everyone sought to eliminate.
This was the “sorceress.”
“Well then, I’m in a hurry, so please let me begin the task~”
In an instant, a dagger bound by chains shot from her hand, bouncing between the surrounding buildings!
Finally, it crashed to the ground, flying straight toward my chest!
