ICE EMPEROR

Duars


The explosion took place in an underground laboratory caused by the rampage of a monster named Chimera. A combination of three monsters in one body. The monster was made up of snakes, tigers and birds. It looks like a tiger with bird wings and a snake tail with the tip of the snake head itself.


“Grooaaaarrghhh The Chimera violently returns while flapping its wings firmly so that the objects around it fly everywhere.


A snow-white decomposing adventurer youth stood up while covering his face from the strong wind. His sharp gaze could not be separated against the merging monster. Although the body of the monster is quite large and terrible it does not make the young man tremble at him. After the wind stopped blowing, the adventurous young man dashed towards his right while carrying the ice sword he had made from his ice technique. Jumped slightly towards the wall close to the tiger's head, then jumped again and recklessly the young man jumped towards the Chimera. By swinging his sword vertically, the adventurer aimed for the monster's head.


“Taste this.” He shouted while slashing strongly towards his head.


“Gooooaaarrrgghh.


The powerful roar of the Chimera stopped the lunge from the snow-white unraveling adventurer and resulted in him being bounced towards the previous wall.


Brakes


“Agh...” The impact on the body of the adventurer made him spit a little. It seemed like the roar from the Chimera was quite strong so the adventurer bounced around quite strongly.


Ah.. it hurts, the monster that we met a while ago is now ferocious. Already several times I tried to attack him, but still can be detained, not least I was always hit by the impact of his attack. I could've beaten him with my full strength, but if I did this place might just collapse. And it's dangerous for Vira...


The look of the adventurer looked at a small silver white girl in the corner of the room who was hiding from the raging Chimera monster fight with the adventurer.


I can't make him worry...


The adventurer smiled to convince the student not to worry about him. In high spirits, he pulled himself off the wall and jumped down quietly.


Tap


Arriving on the mainland, not long after the monster Chimera hit the adventurer with his claws.


Blaaarrrr


Being cornered a girl glared in disbelief seeing her teacher being attacked so suddenly like that. “GUURUUU..”.


Krak krak krak


An ice crept from the monster's claws that had just hit the young man and began to wrap it up to half its body. Not long ago a shadow of a person came out from the former lunge of the monster just now by walking casually as if the monster was not a threat to him.


“Just relax Vira, I'm fine.” Said the snow-white mane youth who was none other than Yugi.


‘Thank God..’ in Vira's heart was relieved that her teacher was not hurt.


“Rooaaarrrrrr.


Chimera was angry that her movement was stopped by Yugi's ice. While the freezing perpetrator just stared flat at the monster. He is still analyzing the weakness of the monster in front of him.


‘In every monster there is a core. Just like their source of life. It's just..’ Yugi jumps high equal to the head of the Chimera.


Jleb


Yugi manages to stick his ice sword right into the Chimera's head. But instead of dying the monster was even more violent because of the pain. Yugi releases his grasp against his artificial ice sword and lands not far from the monster Chimera. Not stopping there he also dodged towards his left due to the attack of the Chimera's left claw, fortunately his right foot was still trapped by the ice so as not to chase Yugi who took a safe distance.


“Already expected, most monsters have the core of life in their head. But it looks like this monster is different, the point is not in the head.” Yugi Mumbles. ‘I can't keep it going..’


Yugi again ran back to the monster with his left hand carrying a sword-shaped sword that split ends in two. The monster had realized the existence of Yugi but unfortunately he could not move from his place. The frozen leg had not been able to let go of the monster, while Yugi was right behind his tail, he did not realize that the tail itself had consciousness.


“Sstt...” The tail was waving with its his hissing head, it turned out that the tail was the head of a green snake. Because there was a threat behind him, the snake's head spouted its acid spit towards Yugi.


The impromptu attack caught Yugi a little off guard, but he was still able to avoid having a few drops of his saliva hit his shirt and left arm. So that the pain reached him and made the ice sword detach from his left hand.


“Sial...” umpat Yugi.


Chimera with one pull managed to escape from Yugi's ice prison. The monster instantly turned around with its huge mouth open that was ready to fire its destructive energy.


“Rooooaaarrrrrr.


A huge laser shot towards Yugi at high speed, seeing that it made the dragon instincts of Yugi instantly respond quickly then dodged the attack towards his right while holding his agonized left arm. Fortunately the attack he managed to avoid, he saw the traces of the former shot, how strong it was until it formed a long concave trail that was quite wide.


“A-aaahh Yugi looked silly when he saw the former Chimera monster attack.


In the guest room of the mansion, seen a woman decomposing light chocolate is investigating the Place of Genesis Matter (TKP), she is like an investigator who is looking for detailed evidence in the place. His serious face was clearly visible with the brow bending that was thinking hard. But still her beauty does not fade even though it is serious.


Duuuaaaarrrrr


The sound of a huge explosion caught the girl's attention, without wasting any time she ran towards the source of the sound to check it out.


Tap tap tap


The running footsteps echoed along the hallway, not long before he stood right in front of the door that had previously been entered by Yugi and Vira. Yes, there is the workspace of the owner of this house before. Without a doubt the woman opened the door and found the work room in a mess. His eyes looked in all directions until they came to a halt right at a basement entrance. With a trained vigilance, the woman walked into the door.


‘This basement feels so humid and cold. The ground was also slightly wet, there were two footprints. It's possible that that terrible roar was ahead there.’ Inner of the woman.


The crystal stone on the wall lit up my path, the echoes of my every step plus this coldness did not frighten me. Since my mentality has been trained since I was a child, the longer the depth of this dungeon gets colder. Fortunately my armour was equipped with endurance magic, so this coldness could be neutralized so that I did not catch a cold. Even so the cold was still felt a little by me, because this armor only had resistance to magic, it seemed like this air came from nature itself, as well, so my armour can't fully withstand this cold.


“Grooaaarrgghh.


The roar was heard again, and his voice sounded louder, surely the source was ahead. I have to get there fast...


Back at Yugi, the previous attack launched by the Chimera was still being stared at by Yugi. If he had been hit by the attack, it was certain he would have been seriously injured here. It appears that Yugi's face is starting to harden with a serious look, because this is not the time to joke. This monster attack in front of him was stronger than the monster he had previously faced. Yugi's injured left hand is now recovering thanks to the healing of the ice element that neutralizes the acid that belongs to the green snake. But even so the wound caused by the acid has not fully recovered, because the attack on the head of the green snake was like an acid poison, the impact on Yugi was so bad. It could be seen from his expression that was still holding back the pain, but to him it was nothing compared to the hellish training from Yui, nor was he willing to make his disciple worry. Yugi again made an ice sword in both hands, both legs he kicked and shot back towards the Chimera.


The monster in front of Yugi was seen roaring furiously as his attack missed. With the wings on its back, a flap of wings created a high-pressure whirlwind aimed at Yugi. Seeing that the attack did not deter Yugi, by gathering magic energy on his ice sword, a blue wave in the shape of a cross directly hit Yugi towards the Chimera attack.


Duuuaaarrrr


Both attacks exploded and resulted in dust blocking the view. But with a single flap of Chimera's wings, the dust disappeared in the wind. The serpent-headed tail on the Chimera's body gives off an acidic substance that leads to where Yugi is. The liquid that led to Yugi was instantly slashed with his ice sword. But it was a mistake because his ice sword immediately melted when exposed to the snake's acid. Yugi immediately threw out his ice sword and ran to his left to avoid the attack of acid that kept coming.


Cesss


Cesss


Cesss


Soil exposed to the acid immediately melts and forms a basin that emits smoke, it indicates how dangerous it is if the acid hits the human body. Yugi who managed to dodge the Chimera's consecutive attacks instantly took a deep breath to launch his attack.


“Ice Dragon Roar.” A huge burst of ice shot out from Yugi's mouth which instantly enveloped the Chimera who was roaring in pain from the powerful attack.


Dust covered Chimera's body, breathing heavily from the newly released moves that consumed a lot of magic energy, Yugi hoped that his attack would successfully paralyze the monster. The attack was one version of the Dragon Slayer that focused energy from within and ejected it from the esophagus like a gushing dragon. Sometimes Yugi feels like he's spewing his guts out, but that's the concept of his ice spout.


Vira who hid from the beginning can only be amazed at the strength of his teacher, eyes that sparkle like seeing the desired toy, for Vira this is a moment that he should not forget. He now knew how strong Yugi was, after seeing that his motivation of wanting to be strong became passionate.


‘Great, teacher is awesome.’ Inner Vira.


“Rooaarrrgghh..” the roar from behind the smoke where Chimera is located puts Yugi on standby. This is a sign that the Chimera is still not defeated.


“No way, should the attack be able to defeat him.” Vira muttered.


‘This is indeed annoying, it turns out that the attack is not enough to kill him.’ Inner Yugi with his face.


Chimera's footsteps sounded heavy, it seemed like the anger from this monster had already peaked. And that was provoked by Yugi, what a proverb that says do not wake a sleeping cat. Yugi thinks it's a suitable proverb for now. The red eyes of the Chimera glittered sharply, she took in a lot of air and held it deeply from her stomach. Yugi knows what the Chimera will do, the previous attack almost killed him, if he does not dodge now it is possible that Yugi only remains a name.


Yugi forms a dragon wing of light blue magic energy and immediately flies upwards to dodge the Chimera laser attack. But it turns out that Chimera knew Yugi's movements so with such a high concentration the monster began to lift its head upwards and spit out the laser faster before Yugi dodged it.


A large laser pointed at Yugi right in his flying row. Little by little the laser will hit Yugi at high speed and eventually...


Syuuuutttttt


Duuuaaaarrrrrrrr


The purple laser shot shot up the building and pierced through to the sky forming a large hole from the basement to the roof of the mansion. The sky covered in black clouds was visible from the basement where the fight between Yugi and Chimera took place. The laser wiped out the clouds from the distance of its attack until it formed a large cloud circle in the sky.


It is still a question whether Yugi managed to avoid the attack from the artificial monster or not? Vira who witnessed it himself where the attack led to Yugi was only able to sit still. He had not seen his teacher. Tears began to accumulate on his eyelids, he assumed that Yugi had died as a result of the Chimera attack. Imagining it made her heart ache, very sick. And at the same time he was angry, yes. Even his expression of anger could be clearly seen with a blackish-red aura of hostility constantly emanating from Vira's body, and the killing intent was directed at the Chimera. Both of his hands squeezed firmly, his bowed head started to lift with blood-red eyes and vertical black pupils like a savage beast. Those eyes were so frightening, even anyone who looked at him would run away in fear, with a giant step Vira started walking towards the direction Chimera was at. The move was like a newly awakened zombie, his mind seemed empty. All he wanted now was to kill the monster in front of him. Yep... Vira wants to kill the Chimera.


“How dare..” a frightening heavy sound comes out of Vira's mouth. His voice was like agony to those who heard him, his fingernails began to lengthen, his vampire fangs were clearly visible. His saliva dripped slightly from the corner of his lips, if it were to be described now, then Vira looked like... Vampires are bloodthirsty.


“Greeggghh..” The growling Chimera dislikes Vira, the terrifying aura of Vira making the Chimera angry. Unconcerned about the killing aura of Vira, Chimera charged towards the little girl with her sharp claws.


“How dare you...” just those words that came out of Vira's mouth, but it was enough to express her feelings of anger and resentment towards the Chimera.


While the slightly more Chimera was about to launch its attack, Vira with her right palm open up, then a reddish-black energy began to gather there. It was such a dense negative energy that magicians in general never had. Before the concentrated energy gathered to form a black sphere, the Chimera first tore Vira apart with its claws in one go. Instantly, Vira's body was torn apart by Chimera's claws, all of her blood and body splattered everywhere. The satisfied Chimera instantly roared at his pleasure, but he did not know that the little girl he attacked vanished without a shadow. It turned out that the attack by the Chimera was just an illusion, he did not know that Vira was standing right behind him with a football-sized black ball with a high density.


Vira pointed her right palm which had a pitch-black ball towards Chimera while muttering a little that only she knew her words. “Meiton.”


The pitch-black ball was hurtling rapidly from Vira's palm which was directly aimed at the Chimera. As the black sphere was about to hit the Chimera, the artificial monster began to notice it and flew upwards with the help of its wings. But unfortunately the black ball attack still hit him even though only exposed to the left foot of the back.


“Graauuuggrrhh..” Chimera roared in pain as her legs vanished into the black sphere without sparing her chin in the slightest. Blood spewed out from the back of the back of the back of the left leg, which was blocked by Vira's attack.


After completing the action, Vira began to look forward coupled with her changes that returned to normal, her fangs began to shorten again as well as her fingernails. The blood-red eyes with vertical black pupils now turned back into a beautiful blackish red. Before his body fell to the ground, a hand first held the small body. And there was a snow-white young man smiling warmly at the girl in his lap. He could feel the body of his disciple drooping down after making the impromptu change earlier. The look in his eyes seemed to imply worry with a warm soothing smile mixed in.


Not long ago the gaze began to cool with a flat face when looking at the Chimera flying above him with one stumped leg. He laid Vira's body on a long chair some distance away from his fight with the Chimera. When making sure that the place is safe, Yugi who does not want to take the risk immediately makes a solid magic barrier to protect Vira who fainted. Now he felt a little calm and walked back to the face of the Chimera that floated above him. Yugi makes dragon wings from his magic energy and drifts parallel to the Chimera.


“You're done now, Chimera.” Said Yugi with a tone of anger that is so obvious in every word.


In the place of the bright brown haired woman who wore a fairly heavy female armour, her steps had stopped when she got a strong shock accompanied by a large explosion just now. His eyes looked so solemn and alert as it seemed like the source of the explosion was already close to him.


“What just happened?” ask the woman who she knows. Due to his curiosity he continued his steps towards the source of the shock.


A few minutes later her footsteps stopped again when she saw a room that looked destroyed, by establishing itself, the woman stepped back and entered the room. Not a minute had he been made surprised by the room that had been destroyed, plus a large hole gaping from the top of the basement. Not only that, it was seen in front of him a giant monster with a strange body floating above it and in front of the monster was also seen a young man with light blue dragon wings floating parallel to the strange winged monster. He blinked his eyes several times to make sure that in front of him this was real.


But after confirming this he still could not believe it, never before had he seen such a monster. But what he wants to say, he must swallow the reality round and round. Not only that it turned out that the young man who floated parallel to the monster was a person he knew. “What really happened here?” That question first appeared when entering the former laboratory room, although now the room has been destroyed by the Chimera attack.


Yugi who was still staring angrily at Chimera with a murderous aura that was so concentrated that he had not let out again for a long time. Even his aura which was now more and more concentrated than it used to be. Very even the air around him felt heavy, it could be seen that a bluish aura was thickening from before, more precisely his light blue aura started to slightly blacken so that it looked like dark blue. “You're done now, Chimera.”


Yugi's right hand raised upwards and opened his palm to the sky. “Taste this pain... Ice Needle.” A large number of ice needles were created in the sky and surrounded the Chimera. Then he slowly squeezed his right hand firmly and accompanied by the ice needle surrounding the Chimera grew to the size of a large tree trunk. That size was enough to stab the Chimera's large body. “Mati..” with that one word, all those ice needles instantly attacked the Chimera brutally and planted firmly.


Syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut syut


Jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb jleb


Hundreds of ice needles attacked the Chimera mercilessly, and while the last few remaining ice needles, all of them simultaneously rained down on the Chimera at the head until it pierced through its mouth. A scene so sadistic before the eyes. The monster did not roar or scream in pain, it just went silent until its body began to slowly fall to the ground. Up to a few seconds the fall gets faster and faster until a violent collision occurs between the Chimera's body and the ground.


The shock had a slight impact on where Vira was lying, but it did not have much effect. In contrast to the light brown unraveling female who was quite close to the fall of the Chimera's body, she could feel a strong vibration as the Chimera's body fell down, she said, he could also feel a strong wind when the Chimera fell hard on the ground. Not long after the fall of the Chimera, the snow-white unraveling youth who was still hovering above began to duck down and slowly descended downwards.


Yugi who managed to defeat the monster Chimera just stared blankly at the corpse that was below, the dragon wings on his back slightly bent and slowly Yugi began to land on the ground. When it had landed smoothly, Yugi directly activated his observation eye to find out whether the Chimera was alive or dead. His light blue eyes contained an observation magic circle that slowly rotated. Not long after he starts to deactivate his magic and confirm that the monster Chimera has managed to defeat. With a careless step he began to retreat slowly and took a distance of several meters from the monster. But his steps stopped when he felt the presence of someone, that person was right behind Yugi.


Women who had been confused about the events that had just happened, just approached the figure of a young man who had managed to defeat monsters with a strange shape. And he knows who the mysterious young man who managed to defeat the monster. Yes he is a person he knows very well, a person he made friends with a few days ago. And for some reason they are quite close because they meet often.


“Yugi, what are you doing here?”


That's right, her name is Yugi, an adventurer who once met Lani on the top of the highest mountain while she was training.


Yugi turned around and looked at the woman he knew, a bright smile he looked at the woman and said to her. “Hay Lani, long time no see.”


The two stared at each other deeply, light blue eyes as beautiful as the ocean met with black eyes of the night so elegant, for a moment they fell silent until Lani began to speak up.


“I have a lot of questions for you, and the first one is what are you doing here?” ask Lani.


For the questions asked by Lani it can be easily answered Yugi, besides the mission he received does not need to be covered. Most of the requests for this mission come from the guild directly so automatically the kingdom will know and it sooner or later Lani will know. Yugi who is ready to answer the question from Lani suddenly his chest skipped a beat. His stomach hurt, a blood came out of his nostrils, nausea in his mouth felt like spewing out his stomach contents. Yugi was like someone who was dying, his mouth that was holding back vomit just let out so much blood.


Lani who saw Yugi in pain just panicked instead of playing. He doesn't know what happened to Yugi, even though he was fine before. But why did it suddenly become like this, Yugi seemed to suffer. He needs help as soon as possible.


“Yugi... Yugi hold on.” Panic Lani. He opened each contents of his bag to look for a healing medicine, without wasting any time Lani took out a bottle of healing potion to be used by Yugi. But the potion was rejected by Yugi, it made Lani confused with her panicked face.


“T-quiet Lani, I'll a-will be fine.” Said Yugi in a soft tone slightly stammered.


“What are you saying, you don't look okay. Shut up and drink this healing potion.” Lani.


“A-I will only level up that. But it looks like the process this time was interrupted by the poison previously emitted by the monster earlier.” Clearly Yugi.


Lani was surprised, leveling up. Yugi has just said that what he is experiencing now is a level rise. But only this first time he saw a rise in the level of this suffering. The level rise should not be like this, but it is different if someone interferes with the process, as well as the poison said by Yugi just now.


“If it is like that, you should immediately calm the mana spike inside your body.”


What Lani says is true, now inside Yugi there is a surge of high pressure which is revolting. If not immediately tamed it will be fatal. The uncontrolled surge of energy was like a time bomb that could blow itself up at any moment.


Finally Yugi began to meditate to calm the mana spike inside his body. Mana is the magic energy possessed by every magician, without which a magician cannot launch his magi. But if the mana in the body is not controlled it will kill the user. Like a double-edged sword, it could be its own savior and killer. Now that Yugi is experiencing a leveling phase, usually this leveling up occurs when a magician has already exceeded his level limit, then he will level up to a stronger stage. But if it fails to soothe the spike of mana in the body it will die right then and there. Usually this level increase goes easily and the chance of success can reach ninety percent, but different again if our bodies are in a bad state. Just like Yugi who was exposed to the monster poison Chimera, his body condition is now not good, this can be a constraint in his level rise.


“Good.” Reply Yugi.


With the combination of the two, the sudden mana explosion could be temporarily held back and gave Yugi enough time to begin taming his magic energy. A few minutes later, Lani has neutralized all the toxins in Yugi's body. Since the task was done, Lani stopped her activities while looking at Yugi's back with a smile of relief.


“The rest I leave to you, Yugi.”


‘All the toxins in my body have disappeared. Now that I can level up calmly, I need to stay focused on my magic energy flow.’ Inner Yugi.


A light blue aura exuded like a sea wave that surrounded Yugi, gradually began to multiply and seemed to wrap Yugi completely. Suddenly a light blue laser shot up into the sky from Yugi's body. Yes that aura is the melting mana which is the last stage of leveling up. The aura was so beautiful, that Lani was silent with a red hue from being dazzled by its rays. Amazed by the different rays with most magicians when leveling up, only this time he witnessed a level rise that felt so cool and soft. Not long after the light began to fade and disappear. Yugi who felt he had managed to level up instantly felt such a huge change in him.


Similarly, Lani is fascinated by Yugi's body changes, her body that began to grow a little and looks more athletic than before even though not too muscular but it is enough to make women want to eat it. Likewise for Lani, for her to see Yugi's increased good looks make her chest beat fast, she said, either because it was too excited or because of the shy cat when he saw the body of Yugi who slightly looks sixpack because his clothes are slightly torn there. Lani shook her head in excitement while holding onto her red blushing cheeks.


Yugi who already felt that he had managed to level up just opened his eyes. He hopes to get a reception of success from Lani, but what he sees now is Lani acting strangely. Yes, it is true, Yugi sees Lani who is shaking indistinctly with a red hue on his cheek. Yugi thinks ‘what is this woman doing?’ roughly like that Yugi's mind now.


While the woman did not realize that had been stared strangely by people she admired. Lani was thinking something less profanity when she saw Yugi's athletic body. Having been engrossed in her own world for a long time, Lani starts to open her eyes and smile awkwardly when stared at by Yugi in confusion.


“Eh..” Lani's.


“Hem..” Yugis.


The awkward smile began to look embarrassed instead of playing, Lani could not imagine what her face was like now. Thinking of something indecent about Yugi's body, excited himself and smiling strangely. Maybe now he is considered strange by Yugi. And somehow it seems like his thinking was right on target. Indeed, from earlier Yugi thought that Lani was acting strangely.


To confirm this, Lani asked Yugi at close range. “A-what did you see my behavior?” ask Lani.


Whether it was Yugi who was insensitive, stupid or careless, he answered Lani's question honestly. “Ya.” The short answer spontaneously slid from Yugi's lips.


And somehow Yugi has not realized that he is digging a hole for himself. A terrifying aura was unleashed by Lani with a psychopathic smile. Yugi's face immediately paled in fear of the female demon in front of him. Like looking at the angel of death, Yugi can only be silent with a face without sin because he does not know where his mistake is this time.


“You better forget everything you saw.” Said Lani while carrying a giant earth hammer that was grasped by both hands.


“Hwaaaaaa..” Yugi screamed hysterically while running lacquer because he wanted to be hammered by Lani.


Lani thinks by hitting hard head Yugi then his memory will be lost, yes it could have happened, but if with a hammer that big there Yugi life floated. Do not copy the scene, because it is very dangerous.


A few minutes later, the absurdity stopped. Now the two are resting while sitting opposite their backs attached to each other. Lani leaned her head against the back of Yugi who just fell silent without replying to Lani's back.


Lani says something to Yugi out of boredom if she just keeps quiet. “Yugi, I have many questions for you.”


“I know, but before you ask, I'll tell you why I'm here.” Yugi began to say all things about the mission he was on. “I took a mission from the guild to investigate the mansion of a former research experiment on summoned creatures. In addition to getting information here, I was also asked to exterminate any monsters that had the potential to harm humans. That's all I'm doing right now, you should already know the monster I mean.”


“Monster that, what's his name?” ask Lani.


“Monster was named Chimera, the creature was an experiment from a witch scientist. By combining the three monsters, a new species is created. You could say the creature is made of a mad witch who wants to create a powerful summoned creature. I didn't even think it had to be like that.” Yugi replied with a tired tone when remembering how difficult it is to handle the Chimera.


“Chimera, I did not expect that there was a witch who created such a creature.” Reply Lani, in his mind if if the creature remained alive it might be a disaster for his kingdom. And it might have an impact on other kingdoms. “But, if it can be tamed it might just be the kingdom's strongest weapon.”


Yugi just smiled in response to the words from Lani, it seems his opinion with Lani could not be in harmony. Because he had another opinion against the monster. “I don't think you can do.”


Lani wonders what the meaning of Yugi's words, not finished there Yugi added his words.


“Because that monster Chimera can't be tamed by just anyone. I read a little bit about the monster from the witch notes I got here. The creature has intelligence like a human, although in the record the creature is perfect, but I think not entirely true. Because when I fought him, his abilities were not as strong as those on the record.” Yugi.


Lani who heard the explanation from Yugi nodded in understanding, but she was still in her personal opinion. If only a certain person could control it, he might be able to do it. “But it's a pity, you killed him first before he tamed.”


“Do you prefer I get killed by that monster huh.” Upset Yugi.


“Hihihihih..” Lani was only able to laugh happily when she heard Yugi's annoyed tone which comforted her enough.


“By the way why did you get here?” yugi asked, because only Lani had asked, now she began to ask Lani back.


For a moment Lani thought about answering a question from Yugi. “Just do my job. I was also a little curious about this mansion. Formerly owned by a nobleman, he was a magic scientist who researched about call monsters, but unfortunately because of his crazed nature he was stamped as a royal threat because of his unnatural research.” Obviously Lani.


“Heemmm, I thought that all those scientists were crazy when searching for the truth.” Reply Yugi.


“Are you here alone?” ask Lani, because from now on they were just the two of them.


While Yugi begins to think about Vira, maybe this one he will keep secret. “Ya, there you go.” Answer lies.


“For an adventurer you turned reckless too ya.” Reply Lani, not long his face looks moody and thinks about something, but it is not realized by Yugi. “Yugi, did you enter that tournament?”


Yes that's what Lani had been thinking about, whether Yugi entered the tournament or not. But he should have known that Yugi participated in the tournament, because he himself witnessed the greatness of Yugi while in the arena. Yugi himself is aware of questions from Lani such as confirming whether he follows her or not. Yugi smiles normally with an answer that makes Lani look serious.


“Ya, I followed him.”


Both of Lani's hands gripped firmly with her mouth held tight. Then he said to Yugi in a weak tone. “What.... are you after in that tournament?”


Yugi does not know what to answer, this question is so difficult for him to answer. Actually Yugi is not too interested in position, office, nobility or even a mysterious gift that makes everyone curious. He did not think about it all, but he still had to answer questions from Lani. “I... cannot tell it now.”


“Once...” after hearing that dubious answer, Lani did not ask any more questions. He stood up from his seat and walked away from Yugi.


Yugi who knows that Lani will go straight to stand and stare at his back that is getting farther away. “Are you angry?” ask Yugi.


“May you win.” Not an answer, but an encouraging remark from Lani that was heard by Yugi.


When Yugi's view of Lani has disappeared there, he walks to where Vira is. Yes, Vira still fainted and was in the protection of Yugi's magic barrier. But when he got there, he couldn't find Vira. Panicked, of course Yugi immediately looked for Vira to all his distance of view. But he couldn't find it, only one thing he could do now. Yugi closes his eyes and spreads magic aura everywhere, he uses existence detection magic to find Vira. A few minutes later, he felt the magic energy of the person he was looking for. Vira is found, but there is one thing that makes Yugi confused.


“Vira's magic energy flow feels strange, like it is replaced by another life energy. What is it exactly?” worried and curious, Yugi rushes to where Vira is.


In a place that is dark enough to see a little girl who is standing facing a large tube that contains a lot of water, not only that there is also a small creature that is floating. The little creature was shaped like a white-haired wolf with bushy white wings plus a blue hue at the tip of its wing. His head also has a little dark blue hair that adds to the creature's imitation. His red eyes stared at Vira with a sharp look, while Vira just stared blankly at the small creature in front of her.


“Who are you, why is the energy in your body so dark?” Asked the little creature in a typical heavy tone of a savage beast.


“You, have the energy I love. The blood that flows to you responds to my coming. Didn't you feel that way.” Vira's voice is different than usual. If seen again his appearance as when he fought the monster Chimera, long fangs, claw-like fingernails, plus blood eyes with vertical black pupils like a tiger. Not wrong again, now Vira is entering her vampire mode.


“Hhmmmm...” the little creature incubated slowly, but not for long he began to fall silent looking at the girl.


“I have a small offer on you.” Vira Said.


“What is it?” ask the winged wolf.


“Be my pet.” Answer Vira.


“If I don't want to?”


“You will, you will not reject it.”


The winged wolf became doubtful of his question, even he was a little intimidated by Vira's words. In his mind he was analyzing what the wishes of the little girl in front of him were. But yes, because of the curiosity of that aura and this sense of dependence. The winged wolf finally agreed.


“Alright, I agree.” Answer the winged wolf.


Vira raised her right hand and opened her palm. The glass tube that imprisoned the tiny creature shattered instantly and made all its water seep out. The winged wolf floated parallel to Vira's head and they stared at each other.


“I have another personality, this self is just a shadow of my other self. In other words right now I am entering a different personality mode.”


Vira's words made the little creature a little confused. But it can be removed first, now they will do a contract that will bind each other as employers and servants.


“I don't really understand what you mean, but we can discuss it next time.”


Vira spread both hands forward facing the winged wolf that floated in front of him. A bright red circle glowed beneath the winged wolf, Vira bit her right thumb until it bled and stuck it to the head of the winged wolf. What Vira did was a blood contract between the summoned creature and its master. It is common among witches when performing contracts, in contrast to Yugi who contracts through spit, the, remember the scene when Yugi was kissed by Risa the king of ice dragons called Freez in the form of a dragon. Not long after the magic circle under the winged wolf that floated up and passed through the wolf's body. The contract between them was completed.


“I have one request of you.” Viras.


“Newly also made a contract but you've asked me for something. What is your request?” ask wolf.


“I want you to stay with me in that small form.” Viras.


Wolfs. “So you already know what my true form looks like ya.”


“Hmm..” Vira nodded softly answering the wolf question in front of him.


“Of course, I don't mind.” Wolfs.


“And I have one more request, if later my personality changes to imitate me another. I want you to act like a cute little creature.” Vira Pinta.


“What did you say..” The winged wolf looked angry when asked to be cute. He also has self-esteem as a creature that used to be admired. Not many people know about the creature in front of this Vira.


“This is an order from me, you must shrink your voice to be cute. Don't ever involve my other self in any big deal. Always protect my other self with all your soul. That's it..”


Somehow the winged wolf could not argue with this little girl. As if he had to obey her, he was confused but at the same time happy. The other man said he knew this little girl. Or rather, he had a relationship with her. A relationship that has been a long time, and it is sorely missed by him.


“Well if that's what you want.”


Finally the wolf agreed, but did not stop there, he began to talk again or rather ask one thing to Vira.


“I have one request for you, give me the name.” The winged wolf.


“Of course, I've thought about that too. Your name now... Neo.”


After giving that name Vira started to look forward and closed her eyes. His body began to fall to the ground without a pedestal there, Neo swiftly held down Vira's body with his small body.


“Neo... nice name. Thank you.”


Before Vira's consciousness disappeared completely, she smiled slightly and began to close her eyes towards dreamland.


While with Yugi, he ran quickly towards where Vira was. This passageway seemed foreign to him, but Yugi did not care about it. Because in front of him there is his student who is somehow in his present condition.


“Eh..” Yugi paused for a moment as he did not feel the strange aura anymore. It was now replaced by an aura belonging to Vira herself, and this aura appeared weak. Something happened to Vira. Yugi continues his run towards Vira.


After a few minutes, Yugi finally arrived, there he saw Vira's body lying limp on the ground. Immediately he checked the pulse in Vira's hand while activating his observation eyes to check on Vira's state. For a while he was able to breathe a sigh of relief because Vira had only fainted. But it raises a question in Yugi's head, why Vira could be here. But he put that aside, because now the important thing is to get out of here. Only Yugi wants to carry Vira into his arms, a small white-haired wolf with a slight dark blue pattern on his head licks Vira's cheeks several times. Yugi wondered where this creature came from.


The wings that were previously on Neo's back disappeared just like that, it seemed like Neo was using a certain magic that made the wings on his back disappear.


Vira who licked her cheeks began to be disturbed from her cute sleep. Not long after his consciousness came and saw Yugi who was staring at him who was lying down. Embarrassed at the look with that charming smile, Vira's face flushed slightly around her cheeks. Then he looked to his right where a little wolf was licking his right cheek. Vira just sat down and looked at the cute animal.


“Waaahhhh cute.” He said with a happy tone.


‘Jeez, maybe I was worrying too much. He looks fine, but this wolf, where he came from.’ Inner Yugi.


“Teacher, teacher... what a creature this is, he is cute once.” Vira hugged the white-haired wolf with her potion.


While in his heart the wolf felt his pride as a true wolf had fallen. But this was a request from his master, or rather his other master who was inside the body of this little girl who was hugging him. At his request he began to speak in a cute tone typical of small animals. “Don't hug me so.”


“Hwaaa she can talk, and her tone is so cute. It's cute..” instead of letting go, Vira even more tightly hugging.


“Hey release... release..”.


Yugi was a little surprised, it turns out in front of him this monster, even different from most monsters. He can talk like a human, in other words he has intelligence like a human. But the one who could talk like that was only a monster whose level was above that of an advanced mage. It's just that this creature looks small, but as small as this can already speak, in other words this monster is not a random monster.


“Who are you really?” ask Yugi.


“Hemmm, I don't want to admit it, but I am the familiar of this little girl.” Answer Neo.


“Really?” ask Vira.


‘If Vira is his master, why does he not know himself. Anyway now is the identity of this creature.’ Inner Yugi. “Is that true Vira?” ask Yugi.


Vira who was questioned only shook his head in a sign of not knowing, after all he had never made a contract with any monsters. But why does this cute wolf even consider himself his master. Vira looked at Neo with a big question mark on his head. “Whose name?” ask Vira.


‘What he said turned out to be true, so here's his other personality. Even he doesn't remember ever giving me a name, geez this is troublesome.’ Inner Neo. “Neo... my name is Neo.”.


“Neo, cute.” Vira couldn't stand Neo's soft fur until she rubbed it on her chubby cheeks several times.


‘For now it is better we get out first from here.’ Inner Yugi. “Vira, let's get out of here first. Neo explain the details on the way.”


After that everything went away leaving the former laboratory. Had Yugi been more thorough, he should have been able to see an inscription on the tube the former creature was in before. Under the tube there is a board attached to the writing there.


The inscription reads [Fantasy Animals]


Several events continued to come to us, after defeating the Chimera I was reunited with Lani. Or before I called him Lanya, it was his pseudonym when we first met. At the breakup, I felt that Lani seemed to be thinking about something even though I couldn't see her expression because she was on her back. I wanted to talk to him a lot...


But...


Maybe next time, when we meet again...
