Happy Monday!

Heres the chapter, enjoy.

ED: Ignite

Within the deep and dark ocean, I could hear Akiras voice.

And, I was affected by two different killing intents.

This led to me regaining consciousness.

Aki, raAkira?

I felt Akiras presence nearby.

A terrifying shockwave caused the surrounding walls to crumble, but mysteriously, I was unharmed.

Hahaa! The princess has awakened!

The youths voice resounded.

I realized that it was the emerald youths voice.

You, choose a single name to call her. You called her princess just now

TN: the first princess was (ohimesama) and this one is (ojousama). The meanings are similar in English, but they are two different words in Japanese (this ojousama has different kanji than the one that is used to refer to a noblemans daughter even though they sound the same).

Youre an idiot, arent you~.

The sound of metal colliding reverberated.

The wall closest to me shook.

The one who wakes up would obviously be a princess.

This is reality, not a fairytale! You stupid brat.

I blinked my eyes a few times, and the scene in front of me became clearer.

The feeling in my body returned as well.

My fingers could move.

It seems that he had laid me down against the wall of the dungeon.

I shifted my arm that was still numb and stood up while using the wall as support.

Akira!

Stay over there, Amelia. YouI will definitely take you back.

His back facing me, Akira threw the cloak that he was wearing to me.

I was enveloped in Akiras smell.

It calmed me down, a lot.

The hand that was holding onto the wall slipped.

About to fall, I was supported by something that was warm and fluffy.

Yo, ru?

Dont overdo it, Miss Amelia. Believe in Master-dono and wait for him.

Those golden eyes were warm when he was looking at me.

Did he transform, it was not the usual black cat form that he was in, but it was definitely Yoru.

I leaned on him so that warm body of his could warm up my own thoroughly chilled body.

His tail wrapped me up, along with Akiras cloak.

Wrapped up in the two calming smells that were always around me, I felt at ease.

Un. Ill always believe. In Akira, and you as well Yoru.

Akira, bleeding from the wounds that appeared all over his body, was going head to head, daggers against spear, with the youth who was still uninjured.

Akira was losing, but having lasted this long against a demon, that too was amazing in itself.

Akira, seems like hes having fun.

Within this world, Master-donos strength is much stronger, far surpassing that of the other humans and monsters. If they were ordinary opponents, it wouldve been over in one hit. Master-dono hates troublesome things, so he wouldnt do something like purposely searching for an opponent, but even so.

Yoru, looked toward where Akira was.

Akira was wounded and bloody. Even though he should be hurting, he was smiling.

This was the first time weve seen him fighting so happily.

Its probably fun to fight someone who you can go all out against. To the point where hes unconsciously smiling. although he himself does not want to admit it, but Master-dono is, without a doubt, a battle manic.

He truly seemed to be having fun.

This scene was quite similar to when Kirika was practicing her sword by herself.

how enviable.

I was drowning in jealousy.

Yoru probably did not hear it, but these words spilled out from my lips.

Hey, hey, none of your attacks have hit me yet. Certainly, its amazing that youve lasted this long against a demon, but theres no point if your attacks dont connect.

Certainly, he didnt have any large wounds, but his small injuries were all bloody. Was he anemic, Akiras face was turning pale.

Akiras blood was everywhere on the ground.

No, it was scattered all around; it would be too strange to say that it just dripped onto the floor.

It was a different, it was as if he purposely allowed it to spill there.

Well, the preparations are finished.

The youth frowned.

Akira grinned and raised his hand horizontally.

What are you doing now.

Shadow Magic

All the shadows within the dungeon gathered to Akiras side.

The shadows created by the lights within the dungeon, as well as the shadows of myself and Yoru were consumed and became Akiras shadow.

Scatter!

At Akiras command, the shadows dispersed.

It was a technique that Ive never seen before.

If Im not mistaken, from what I knew about Akira, he could only use his own shadow.

He shouldnt be able to gather the surrounding shadows and manipulate them.

Before I knew it.

As if guided by something, the shadows headed toward somewhere.

The blood.

After hearing what Yoru had muttered, I looked at the blood that was scattered all over the ground. The shadows were gathering towards the large volumes of blood.

They are reacting to the remaining bit of magic power left within the blood and gathering thereno, theyre gathering it?

Akira clenched the hand that he raised.

Shadow Beast

The shadows that had gathered on the surface of the blood wriggled around, and assumed the shape of animals.

The bloodthirsty, four-legged beasts that were similar to a wolves, dodged the youths spear and bit his arms, legs, and torso.

!!!!

The youth spun his body and forcibly shook off the beasts.

From that impact, his flesh was torn off.

This time, it was the youths blood that dripped everywhere.

He was bleeding much more than Akira.

In an instant, the tables were turned.

It seems that, your blood and magic power is considerably delicious.Shadow Magicis pleased.

Akira looked at the shadow that was moving around at his feet and said this.

Meanwhile, the youth was staring at the blood that he was shedding.

fufufuu! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa!!

And then, he raised his voice and burst into laughter.

Akira backed away a little.

Before anyone knew it, the beasts created from the shadows disappeared.

This is pain. This is my blood.

The youth grasped the blood that was flowing from his abdomen.

As Akira and I were backing away, Yoru was the only who calmly looked on at that scene.

In general, demons have a large amount of magic power, so they are famous for having high offensive ability, and only for that, but their defensive ability is incomparable to the other races as well. A simple edged tool was a matter of course, but magic would not be able to injure them either. some of my acquaintances, have never shed a drop of blood in their entire life before.

If that were true, from the youths reaction, it seems that he was one of those people as well.

To me, it seemed like he was delighted that blood was flowing within himself.

It seemed like he was delighted that he was feeling pain.

It seemed like he was delighted that the color of his blood was the same as the other races.

Ahahahahahahahahaaaa! Truly, this is the best. Everyone will probably be happy once they know that theres a human like you.

An ecstatic smile on his lips, the youth let go of the spear, letting it fall.

And, in the opposite hand that had not been gripping the spear, he was holding onto a flute that he took from who knew where.

You especially showed me a powerful technique. I too will reciprocate.

I saw that flute, and recalled what had happened just before I had died.

Noo! Run, Akira!!

Its too late.

The youth held the flute in both hands and pressed it against his lips.
