Merlin and Sylvie followed in the cave as soon as Teach came out of it. The hybrid knight won and this caused a little exchange to go on between the demon and the dark elf. Something which Teach wasn’t able to see because he went straight back inside.“What’s up with him?” Sylvie asked.Merlin already has an idea on what this might be. The knight is fine after all. His body parts are intact; none of them are missing. He also defeated all the enemies which is shown by how he got out of the cave – the signal that he finished the fight. There are two other reasons that might cause Teach’s current mood.First is that he can’t find the treasure anywhere. Anyone would feel down if they can’t find the fruits of their labor anywhere nearby. But that can’t be the case for Teach since he’s never been a creature concerned with these worldly things. Though he’d still get affected by it in connection to his relationship with Merlin. He doesn’t want to disappoint the demon who is his lord and maste

The manticore is a woman. A six-foot-tall muscular woman. With tan skin and golden-brown hair. Her eyes are of a gleaming yellow, with the pupils resembling that of a tiger’s. Instead of being fully gilded with armor, she lets most of her upper body show. With the only thing covered being the part of her breasts – gilded with fine armor. This isn’t because she wants to hide her chest but because she’s protecting a vital part of her body – her heart.If not for this weakness, she’d let her upper body show entirely. She doesn’t care about stuff like nudity after all. All the manticore cares about is battle and whoever it is that can quench her desire for it. That being said, she also has her lower body covered with leather pants. Breathable and stretchable and, is made from one of the strongest monsters that she defeated. Hence ensuring the durability of the said pants. Completing the look is her black combat boots. Matching the color of her upper armor, as well as her leather pants.

[Five Days Later][Wisp Forest – Nighttime]The blood moon rose at the sky. An ominous and eerie presence when night finally came. With it comes the howling of the wolves and the laughing of the goblins. The screams of the dying and the sound of flesh being gnawed. The whole forest has turned into something unbecoming. Drunk with the color that the moon bathes it in…and illuminated by this same moon is the manticore, Samira.The creature floats above the sky. Its golden eyes changed color. The same color as the moon and, its mane has changed as well. Donning a darker shade of yellow. With streaks of red mixing within it. With this comes an aura of crimson mana. Not because she wants to release it but because she has too much of it. There is too much mana that it can’t fit in her body anymore. And more of it just keeps pouring out.“This is it Dirth.” She told her attendant as they both looked down on the forest. “This is the day I force that ent to fight me head on.”The goblin shaman

[Skill Name: Mana Drain][Skill Type: Active][Grade: D][Information: Drains 2% of a single target opponent’s overall mana every 5 second. This is converted to the caster’s own mana. This can only happen when the mana of the caster comes into contact with the intended target.][Information: The skill runs for 10 seconds and then goes into cooldown for another ten seconds.]This is the skill that Merlin used in the fight. A skill that he bought in the shop to ensure that he’ll gain a higher chance of winning. It may look like a simple skill but its efficiency cannot be doubted. Since the skill only drains a small portion of Samira’s mana, she doesn’t feel it happening. What’s more, even as the skill goes on cooldown, Merlin can continue draining the mana of his opponent with the use of an afterimage.As for how he’s doing it, Merlin covered the whole field with his dark mana. It’s the same trick that he showed to Sylvie but a more refined version of it. Caused by the fact that he also

“That’s more like it! Give it everything you’ve got demon!”Samira roared as she continued fighting Merlin. Her thoughts are a bit hazy now. Caused by her frenzy for battle that cannot be easily quenched. And this is being filled by Merlin to the brim. Making her drunk in this state as she continued to fight without thinking of anything else. The only thing on her mind is defeating the demon and eating him after. That is the only thing that is vividly on her head.Other than this, everything else is a big blur. Thousands of explosions hit her body every minute. She answers in kind by attacking the demon as well. Sprinting so fast that there’s no room for Merlin to make adjustments. She doesn’t even care to think about what strategy her opponent is using because, no matter what happens, she will be able to automatically adjust to it. Samira’s battle sense cannot compare to anything else after all. Her instincts for battle are so strong that she doesn’t need to think anymore. All she h
