Yo…

…

…

…

…I'm too scared to said anything anymore so let just move on with the Story. But before that let me warn you that my writing style might have changed to much compare to the previous chapter.

Disclaimer : I don't own Zero no Tsukaima.

"Sigh... he's late."

Mutter a Female who look about 16 years old and her most noticeable asset was her… normally it should be her ear but due to a Void magic concealing it, all eyes especially male went to her Breast. On second though even with her ear out in the open her most noticeable asset would still be her breast. The girl In question wasn't aware of this though.

"Worrying about your boyfriend?"

"Ah, Jesicca-san." The girl acknowledges the newcomer before she add. "Saito is not my boyfriend. We're just friend."

"Sure, keep telling yourself that." Jesicca wasn't convince considering how she seen the two it only a matter of time. "Anyway, that guy sure is late. It has been more than a week already."

At Jesicca Word Tiffa start to worry again. He has said he'll be gone for a while but he does not mention how long he will be gone or where he even go to. All she could do was pray that he'll return back safely. She don't think she could take it anymore if something bad were to happen to someone important to her. Even now she still haven't gotten completely over the matter of Westwood Village.

"Um… are you Tiffania?"

She was brought out of her musing by the sudden voice as she turn around only to be face with someone that she doesn't know. Although the fact that the person was garb with a robe and a hood that concealing her face may be part of the reason as she can only discern that the person was female.

Jesicca seeing that decide to leave it to Tiffa as she went to serve the customer. There's no way someone stupid enough to do something bad to Tiffa with this place that was full with mercenaries looking for the Job Quest.

"Y-yes, I'm Tiffania." Tiffa managed to said. Although she have become better at conversing with other people, she always nervous when it came to talking to new people.

"I see, then…"

The female Introduce herself as Tiffa let out a surprise gasp.

"Huff… Huff…"

How did it come to this? A girl wonder to herself. It was only supposed to be a simple trip to the forest to gather an Ingredient for her Experiment and yet, now she found herself running for her life.

The girl look at the maid that was running alongside her and she could tell that if not for her the maid could probably run faster but the girl must know that leaving the noble alone like that even in a dead and life situation would cause her to be punish.

But here come the most important question is. What is it that they are running from? To answer it as simple as possible it will be…

GROOOOOWWWLLLL!

The Sound of a growling accompanying by a slight shaking on the ground from the footstep of the creature that was chasing after them. But despite that she, also known as Montmorency by other does not even look back as all she could focus was running as fast as possible. She also have a feeling that if she were to turn back she would have been kill instantly by the creature.

But nevertheless due to never training her physical strength she have already fall out of breath as her leg gave out causing her to fall down.

"Miss Montmorency!" The maid that was with her shout at her sudden fall. In this kind of situation the most logical situation would be for her to leave her here but it seems the maid doesn't seem to shown any sign of leaving as she tried to Support Montmorency by lending her shoulder.

But nevertheless it was already too late as the creature has already stood behind them. It was a wonder why the creature didn't just attack them when it have the chance instead of stopping as if founding it amusing to play with it prey before killing them.

Standing behind them was a humanoid creature about 3-4 times bigger than Montmorency and on both of it hand was a Battleaxes that almost as big as her. The creature has the head of a Taurus with two horns sticking out. It was none other than a Minotaur…

… at least it should have been, but Montmorency never heard about Minotaur this big before. A normal Minotaur should be at most, twice the size of Human and yet this Minotaur have clearly proven it wrong with it body alone towering the both of them.

Now that she was facing the Minotaur face to face she can't help but feel fear as she felt her body frozen by the fear. It seems that even the maid that should be able to move was also frozen in fear at the sight of minotaur who are staring at them and… Grinning?

"Kyaa…"

If she was calm she probably find it weird that the creature Minotaur who supposed to act on it instinct was grinning but it only intensified her fear more upon seeing that grinning. Even the maid before her have already faint just from the sight and she was jealous of the maid for not being conscious to face this creature

"N-no… D-don't come c-closer…" Using all the Willpower she could muster she managed to grab her wand albeit shakily as she point at the Minotaur.

*Chuckle* The Minotaur seems to chuckle seeing her action as it took a step toward her. That was enough to cause a small tremor due to how big the creature is.

Montmorency knew that there was nothing she could do. Despite being a line mage she doesn't have a single offensive spell on her. Then again even if she did, she doubt she could win against the minotaur that even a Triangle class Mage would have trouble fighting it alone.

"Hmph."

As if snorting the Minotaur raised one of the battleaxe and seeing the weapon that was about to take her life Montmorency could not help but closed her eyes as she wait for her Impending doom…

…

…

…

…nothing. She felt nothing which she thought she have died without feeling any pain but then she found herself still alive as she feel she could open her eyes. Of course she start to open her eyes albeit slowly as she was scared that as soon as she open her eyes she would be meet with the grinning face of the Minotaur but when she fully open her eyes, what she saw was…

*Swuissshhhhhh*

A swirling torrent of wind form that separated the Minotaur from them. By them she mean her, the maid and someone else that feel familiar to her but due to his back facing her she can't see the person face.

The person seems to be holding what appear to be a sword resembling a scimitar but smaller and longer. A torrent of wind as she recognize it as [Wind Shield] managed to block the Battleaxe that should have crush her by now.

"Kuh… what with this monstrous strength? At this rate the Wind shield won't last long." The person said and sure enough slowly the wind Shield start losing power as Minotaur attack start to past through.

"Heh." Montmorency wasn't sure, but in an instant she saw the Minotaur smirk and before she could comprehend the meaning the battleaxes that the minotaur was holding start to glow. In an instant the Wind dissolve as the weapon head down with at high speed.

"Wha- Kuh." The person seems to be surprised but at that distance if the attack hit the ground even Montmorency won't escape unharmed from the force behind the attack.

"I'll take care of this." Suddenly a voice that felt familiar to her can be heard as it was accompanied by all the familiar-

KABOOM!

"Gah!"

-Explosion as it engulfed both the Minotaur and the person.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

*cough* Damn it, that Louise. She don't even gave me a chance and just blow me up with this… monster. I know that her Explosions seems to have a Friendly Fire system in it but that doesn't mean I didn't feel anything by it. But I guess that one explosion just save my life as I could see the monster stagger from being hit and using this chance I ran to where I assume the other two girl is as I Pick them up-

"Kyaa!"

One of the girls cried out in surprised by my sudden action but we don't really have much a choice here. Thankfully the other girl was unconscious or else I might have to deal with two struggling girl.

"H-hey! Put me down!"

The girl seems struggling and even with Gandalfr I don't think I could run smoothly like this. Seeing that I just go to Louise as I put the two down as I gently lay the unconscious girl on the ground.

"Hmph… Do you see that! I just took down a Minotaur by myself!" Louise seems to have a proud look on herself saying that.

"That was just your usual failure so don't sell yourself high, Louise the zero." The girl who was conscious retord at Louise word. Can I assume this is the Mont-whatever girl that we come to search? And the maid that was unconscious was Siesta.

"W-what did you said! I just save your life so you should be thanking me." Louise said feeling agitated by the girl words.

"Hah, It not like you did anything. All you did was cause the smoke to allow this… person here to save us, that's all." The other girl paused a bit as she still does not know of my name as she refer me as 'person'. "In the first place why are the two of you here? Who's him?"

It seems she finally realized the situation as she ask Louise.

"Hehe~ listen and be amazed. He is Hiraga Saito. My Familiar and also happen to be the legendary Gan-Urgmmmmmm." Before Louise could said anymore I quickly cover her mouth with the speed of Gandalfr.

I did explain a bit about Gandalfr to her so she wasn't all in the dark about this void business but now I'm starting to think that was a bad idea to tell her. At this rate if I take my eyes of her even for a second she might have blurt about Void and Gandalfr to other people.

"A Familiar?" Mont-arg it was hard to said her name so I decide from now on to address her as Momo to make things easier. "Come to think of it, aren't you the guy who caused the commotion during the Springtime summoning?"

"The name's Saito, and as you can see I am Louise Familiar and just a commoner." I replied which shock her.

"A commoner!? But just now that Wind Shield…"

"Hey, hey… that all thanks to the great me here!" Teiryu decide to speak and what with the 'great' tittle? Are you Derf?

"A-a talking sword!?"She was surprised by that and I have already gotten use to it that I already prepared the answer beforehand.

"It an Artifact. An Artifact that could use magic from any of the four elements." I told her the story I make up beforehand. Things would be complicated if they found out that Teiryuu was create from firstborn magic.

"Don't ignore me!" Louise who seems mad at being ignored shout garner our attention… but only for a moment as behind her we could see someone else who just arrive.

"Huff… huff… Don't.. ran off… by yourself… like that…" The newcomer said as Momo eyes widen upon seeing him.

"G-guiche… how… w-why are you here?"

Suddenly as if a few second ago was just an Illusion Guiche was back in full shape as he held what appear to be a rose as his background change into a rose petal.

"Of course I came here to save you my brave maiden."

What the heck? What kind of cheat code is this to have Stamina turn to max without using any item. While I did kind of left him behind like that but that was because I can feel that monster presence. It was unlike of the Black Rabbit and if I have to make comparison it felt almost like that Demon Amon that we fought back in the ruin of Aerolith.

"Guiche…"

"Montmorency…"

"Guiche!"

"Montmorency!"

Wah… the two of them seems to have gone to their own world. So both of them have that kind of relationship. Well, they did make a good pair so, Oh well.

"Oi kid, surely you don't think everything's over right?" At Ryuu word I turn back to where the Explosion have taken places as I held Ryuu tightly.

"Saito, what are you doing?" Louise upon noticing this ask me the question but my eyes never leaving the smoking location.

"Guiche, Momo. Sorry to disturb you two but this isn't over yet." I said and I seems to heard Momo protest being called that but I ignored her for now as…

*GROOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWLLLLLL!*

…A loud growl accompany by a strong gust of wind for at the center of the explosion as all the smoke was blown in an instant by the sudden Wind revealing the Form of Minotaur completely Unharmed… or not as I can see some part of the Darkness start to seep out from the Minotaur.

It probably due to Louise Void Spell as Void spell could cancel out any sort of magic, including the control of the Darkness. But still I can see that the Minotaur wasn't affect much considering it was an incomplete version of Void spell due to Louise have not unlocked her own ability yet.

"W-what is that!?" Guiche shout upon seeing the Minotaur form for the first time.

"Are you stupid? It a Minotaur of course." Louise look at Guiche as if he was stupid.

"There's no way something that big could be Minatour! It almost as big as troll or Orc!"

Guiche shout back and from what I understand, most of the creature that was infected by the Darkness seems to becoming bigger as they strength increased. The exception seems to be the Vampire. Maybe it because it could still be in control despite having been infected?

"Sorry kid but count me out of this fight." Teryuu said and I nod at that as I sheath him back before bringing Derf back. Unlike Derf which Durability allow him to withstood the force of Dragon attack, Teryuu was a Katana that was fragile and against a weapon that big, he will without a doubt break just by meeting the attack head on.

"I'll be counting on you for the support." I said to him as I turn at the other.

"Louise… we'll be using the same formation as for before." I said to her as she fall back but nor far enough for her spell not to reach. Even if she could not control it, she should at least know the range of her own spell could reach.

"O-oi! You're not seriously thinking of facing that guy aren't you? Let just run and… get the teacher or something!"

Guiche seems saying and I would like to agree with him but…

*GROWL!*

Before I could think further the Minotaur have already made it move as it charged- no, more like leaping at high speed as it managed to closed the gap of 50 meter in less than three Second. If it was the normal me I would have been crushed right about now but thanks to Gandalfr my speed and reflex allow me to act in time as I jump to the side as it Battleaxe strike the ground causing a small crater accompanying by a tremor.

As soon as I land I prepared to counter attack as I kick the ground below me as I dash at the Minotaur closing our distance within Second. I swung Derf at him.

Clang! My sword strikes the side of Minotaur and… stop at that. Even with Gandalfr enhance strength I was unable to pierce it tough skin. Even Matilda golem that I fought wasn't as tought as this which shows how hard it skin is. If it was Teiryuu I might have Broken him already but thankfully I didn't strike this monster with him. Though one thing surprised was that…

"He ignored me… crap! Siesta!" Before I realized it the Minotaur have ran toward Siesta who are still unconscious but at the same time Guiche and Momo who happen to be there as well show a panic look at the sudden charged.

Kuh, Unless I could use Wind mode LV.2 I don't think I could made it on time but fortunately I wasn't alone.

"Louise!"

"Got it!"

Seeing that Louise aim her spell at where Siesta and the other is. It doesn't matter what kind of spell she chant since with her void affinities it will always end up Explode unless she unlock her first void spell but since it was offensive spell Louise have been chanting the Fire spell all the time, is what she told me before.

*KABOOM*

The area around them explode as I can see they we're caught by it. But compare to the Minotaur with weakness is a Void spell the other who won't receive much damaged due to friendly fire system it was the best choice to be made… or so I thought.

The Giant figure of the Minatour can be seen as it jump over 20 meter above the ground and on it shoulder was.

"Siesta!"

I shout as I already start giving chase.

"Here, this should help."

I can see some sort of wind was enhance at me by Ryuu as my speed increased. This was a reinforcement magic that allow the user to exert strength and speed that what they normally could though compare to the Wind mode or Flame mode it was nothing but combine with Gandalfr it was enough for my speed to almost match my Wind mode.

Looking up I aim at the place where the Minotaur was about to land as I charge at it but… before the Minotaur fall I could see a platform made of earth was conjure on the air as it used is as a step stone to jump further.

"Is he, running away?" Was the first thought in my mind when I watch the Minotaur continued conjur platform after the other as he start getting further away.

Kuh… I want to chase after him but I can't just left the other. Considering that the Minotaur went so far as to ignore my attack and Louise explosion just to get a hand on Siesta he must have intend to use her as a hostage, considering that any creature that was infect by the darkness seems to have their intelligent boost.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Montmorency watch as the monster disappear from view which caused her leg to give out as she fall on the knee. She have thought she wouldn't have to deal with that monstrosity again and yet the Monster suddenly seems to decide to target her which bring back the fear once.

It seems not even Guiche was unaffected by the monster as he was also fall on his butt at that sudden situation. She wasn't sure what happen as all of a sudden Louise the Zero as usual fail at her spell causing an Explosion which accompany by the smoke making it hard for her to see what had happen.

Seeing that Louise familiar walking closer she felt a slight relief. If not for him she would probably would have been dead right about now. It was the first time for her to see someone charging head on against that monstrosity alone and still be alive. It was not normal as a scene like that could usually be found only on a storybook and to see it for herself Montmorency was impressed.

But, of course she was also complaining at the familiar way of addressing her. What with the 'Momo'? She have a name and It Montmorency! Savior or not even she would be tick off if someone suddenly call her that. But still for now she want to ask him what exactly happen and why is him, Louise and Guiche are the only one here? Where's the teacher?

"What happened here?" She went with a vague question as she didn't know where to start first.

"That monster got Siesta… I mean the maid." The guy answer which something she was not expected. Come to think of it the maid was indeed gone as she can see the form of the maid anywhere. But why would a Monster that should be acting on instinct want with the maid? Something is wrong here.

"Anyway… I'm planning on saving her and this could be dangerous but I would need help If I want to defeat that monster."

He suddenly said and Montmorency was at loss for word. Defeat that monster? Is that even possible? On their side they have a Commoner who seems good with swords and possess and artifact that allow him to use magic. There is also her which is a line mage that don't have a single offensive spell due to her nature that hate a fight. There was also Guiche who is only a Dot mage and lastly there is Louise that… always fail at casting magic.

No matter how she think of it, there's no way they could stand a chance against that monstrosities. They will only end up dead if they went with it and the only logical choice is…

"I'm going as well. The maid is someone I know and as a Master I can't let my Familiar leave my side." Louise said without an ounce of fear. Montmorency wonder whether she was really Stupid to even agree with the guy.

"D-don't be stupid! There's no way we could win against the Monster. We should go back and get the teacher to deal with it. You think so as well, right Monmorency?" Surprisingly it was Guiche who give the most logical answer.

Instead of them, they should inform the matter to the teacher which consist of Triangle and Square class mage. They would be able to rescue the maid for sure. Which that in mind she should have agreed with Guiche on the matter but…

"I'm going."

"Eh?"

"I said I'm going to go and save the maid as well."

Montmorency repeat her statement which shock Guiche. It wasn't a surprised but she have a hunch that even if they want to leave this place they wouldn't be able to. After all both her and the maid have been trying to leave this place many times and yet found themselves unable to before being chased by that monster.

The forest of beginning was supposed to be a safe place where even children could get in and play around without worrying and yet, for that kind of monster to appear in this kind of place mean that it must be connected to the reason why they can't get out.

So in order to get out of here they have no choice but to defeat the monster which is why she agree at the guy suggestion. At least that what she have been convincing herself due to her noble pride but the reason was much simpler. After all she can't just let the maid be because it was her fault in the first place the maid was capture. If she wasn't so slow perhaps they could have gotten away from that monster already.

"And… Guiche?" The guy turn at Guiche asking for confirmation. Montmorency knew Guiche very well and having Everyone but him agreeing would made him not wanting to be left out as his answer will be…

"F-fine… It would be fine If we just save the maid right!?"

And with that the four of them venture deep into the forest as they follow the guy who she learn was called Saito who seems could sense the position of that monster. The way he act as if he know what that monster is and have been keeping a secret for them which she decide to ask him later once they get out of here.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

*Boom*

Something large land in the middle of clearing causing a large Crater to be form.

"Good work. So who did you get?" A new figure appear out of nowhere as he start to examined the Minotaur when he notice a person strap on Minotaur shoulder. "Hm… A commoner huh. I was expecting for a mage but this one could do."

As he said that he make a gesture for the Minotaur to bring the girl down as the Minotaur did what he want.

"Let see… It seems that the girl was indeed just a commoner. There's no sign of blood of those who use magic within her…" The person said as Siesta body start glowing with a blackish color as she was floating in Mid-air. "…Wait, something wrong…"

The person said and as wind start gather at his hand taking the form of a blade. In a swift motion the person slash at Siesta face causing a small cut which caused blood to bleed out from the cut. Siesta seems to show a sign of being in Pain as she slowly open her eyes and saw the person before her.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!" She shouts as she tried to move but was unable to due to some sort of spell that keep her floating. Without wasting anytime the person Touch the blood on Siesta face which cause her tried to jerk back but unable to.

"Hm… This blood is clearly one who in which was known as Commoner, but I can feel something else." Siesta wasn't sure what this person talk about as she tried to look at her surround… which almost cause her to scream again when she noticed the Minotaur nearby but upon seeing that the Minotaur doesn't seems to be moving she felt a bit relief.

"W-w-w-who are you? W-what do you want with me?" She managed to said to this person who she assume as the one who control the Minotaur.

"Me… I have no name to give to a Human! But as for the reason what I was about to do to you… let just said that you are going to be the first human to be infected by the darkness."

Siesta start to feel fear. Hearing him saying the word human, even Siesta could feel the hatred just from that word alone. Whoever it is this person is, he wasn't human. But no matter how she look at him this person was anything but human which made her unable to discern what kind of creature this is. Then again being a maid it was unnecessary for her to have knowledge about all the non-human creature in Halkeginia.

"D-darkness? W-what do you mean by that?" She found some courage to ask hoping that it would buy some time for whatever it is this person will do to her. She can only hope that someone would come to save her though she also know that the chance of that was almost zero.

She don't really know how she came to be here. the last thing she remember was falling Unconscious and looking around there was no sight of miss Montmorency which caused her to start fear for the worst.

"It nothing of your concern, though I have to said I am intrigued by this other blood within you. A blood which does not exist anywhere on this world." She don't know what the person said about as she start not to pay attention to his words looking for a way to escape… at the very least she should do something about this magic that bind her, but being a None mage there was nothing she could do in this situation.

"Anyway, it would be interesting to see how someone with the blood from another world were to react with the power of Darkness. Guess there's only one way to found out."

After saying that the guy seems to brought one of his hand closer to her face. Siesta would have scream out already if not for the fear taking over not allowing her to even utter a single word as she can only watch the man brought his hand that seems to gather a black mist out of nowhere.

As soon as the man hand touch her face she can feel something. Some unknown entity seems to have enter her. She feel… she wasn't sure how to feel. It more like her mind was cloud by something that unable her to think of anything as more time passed. She feel that if this keep up she will end up not being herself as with the last use of her will she pray. Pray was not the correct word as she practically shout on her mind despite no one would be able to hear her but never the less she shout.

(Please save me!)

[Explosion!]

*KABOOM!*

Suddenly something seems to explode as she found the thing that cloud her mind start to leave her body. She doesn't know what happened but that when she heard another voice.

"Get away from SIestaaaaaa!"

The voice shout as it was follow by the sound of slashing and opening her eyes Siesta could see the back of the person. She could see the familiar ravel black hair and to her aside from her Family she have never seen anyone else with black hair… except for one person.

"Sai…To-san."

Was what she managed to mutter before everything went black.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Whatever it is that seems to caused Siesta to float seems to have wear off as she fall to the ground but not before I catch her.

While carrying Siesta bridal style I turn to glare at this person. Someone that I have met a twice at Albion. The one that stole the Aerolith that almost cause the fall of Albion. It was none other than the dark Vampire!

"What are you doing here?" I ask him and if not for my hand holding Siesta I would have charge at him already. Although I knew that Windalfr was the one who responsible for the massacre for the village, Part of me still blame him. If not for him we might have been able to save the Village and the other Kid from being murder.

"It was nice meeting you again Lifdrasir. Just about last week I also happen to stumble your master."

Hearing that my blood run cold.

"What did you do to Tiffa!" I shout and I almost Drop Siesta if not for Ryuu word.

"Calm down. The fact that the rune of Lifdrasir haven't disappear prove that the girl still alive."

I was about to ask him more but that when I realize. That there was still someone else here.

"Lifdrasir? Master? Hey, Saito… what did he mean? What Lifdrasir? And what this about Master? Aren't I am your master?"

Louise ask me and to be honest I don't know what to said. Looking at Louise she seems to have a face expecting me to assure her that she was my Master.

"Oya… what's this? The little miss Void doesn't know about your other Master? Well, let me be kind and tell you this. This person, Aside from Gandalfr that was made by the contract with you have also another Master which He made a Contract to gaining the ability of Lifdrasir."

Before I could said anything The Vampire have already start spilling everything. I guess it was fortunate that Guiche and Momo was far away from here as I caught them sneaking around not minding the conservation meaning that they didn't hear anything we said.

"A-are you saying, t-that aside from me Saito already have another Master?" Louise said as if the whole world was crashing down on her. I was planning to reveal to her later by making her meeting Tiffa directly to make thing less complicated. Since the two of them are also my Master I thought it would be better if they have a talk which each other first.

"Although It interesting that this is the second time in history that a person managed to possess both Gandalfr and Lifdrasir rune. Pft, Hahaha… are you trying to repeat the history boy?"

The Vampire said with amused tone in his voice.

"Shut up!" I said but because of Siesta I can't just attack him. I need to get her to the safe places first before I could even fight or else she could be hurt from the battle. Right now I also have another concern which is Louise.

"Hey Saito. Is it true what he said. That you already been someone else Familiar before me?" Louise look at me and I can still see the trace of shock on her face. There only one answer I could give her and that is…

"Yes, it true. It was a girl called Tiffania and I think you and her could get along." I said knowing Tiffa personality very well. She was the type that was kind to everyone and would never hate Louise just because she Summon me as a Familiar… I hope. For some reason I seem to be imagining Tiffa Deadly smile when I though of she knowing about Louise. That can't be... right?

"Tiffania? Isn't that…"

Louise seems about to said something but was stop..

"So, did you guys finish your talk." The Vampire said after not making any movement for a while. "And the two over there… I can smell your blood from here so it not use sneaking around." As he said that a Torrent of wind shoot out at one direction and then…

"Gyaaa!"

"Kyaaa!"

Both Guiche and Momo was blast away as they were blow landing on the clearing. Keh… it seems our plan on making a run was a failure. It was supposed to be a simple plan as both Guiche will sneak at the place where it was easier to make a surprise attack and then rescue Siesta before making a ran for it.

But before they could arrive at the place I already charging out when I saw that the darkness start to infect Siesta which made the plan a failure. But since we already make a plan of escaped based on the route we still proceed with the original plan while waiting for Guiche and Momo to arrive at the place. Since I already have Siesta, all guiche and Momo would need to do was some Distraction before making an escape from them.

Alas that seems to have fail as both Guiche and Momo was out in the open.

"Ouch, I knew that was not a good Idea." Guiche said slowly standing.

"Kuh… that Saito. He could at least wait before we arrive at position." Momo seems to complain and I am really sorry for it but if I didn't do that, then who knows what would happen to Siesta.

"While it interesting to kill you I still have something to search in this country. Why don't I let you guys playing with him once I leave."

As soon as the Vampire said that, the Minotaur that have been silent the whole time start to move as it take a step causing a small tremor. With a smirk, the vampire disappear from the area with a burst of black aura.

"Kuh… no choice. Guiche, Momo, Louise. It time for battle." I said but not before retreating back a bit to drop Siesta. "Keep her from harm Ryuu." I said laying Ryuu at Siesta as a form of protection since we never knew what could happen.

"Yeah, yeah… but before that I think you should said something to that Pink hair girl." At Ryuu word I turn to look at Louise who was on her hand and knees as she seems to be muttering something.

"A girl… Tiffania… those Breast…. WAHHHH IT MY LOST!" I don't know what happen suddenly Louise seems frantic as she cried out. Just what is it that she lost to?

"Snap out of it Louise! The enemy coming!" I shout which seems to brought her out of…whatever it is she was thinking.

Louise Glare at the Minotaur.

"Grrr…. Just because you're big don't think I'm going to lose!" Louise shout as she point her wand at Minotaur. For some reason I feel like there's another meaning behind her word… maybe it just my imagination?

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

A Loud explosion unlike any explosion that Louise have ever cast engulfed the Minotaur. If not for the lack of chant I might have thought that Louise just cast a complete void spell. But I can't denied that the Explosion was stronger but it still doesn't change the fact that it was an incomplete Void magic as the result is….

*GROOOOOOOOOWLL*

A strong Gust of Wind completely blown the smoke away revealing the form Minotaur who look… Unharmed but the fact that the dark mist start to seep out from him show that the he still receive damaged even from an Incomplete Void spell.

"Here it comes!" As soon as I said this The Minotaur jump but so we're me as the two of us clash on Mid-air. The Minotaur Swung his Battleaxes as I swung Derf causing both of our weapon met.

If this were the Ground I would have lost in term of strength but since we're in Mid-air the Minotaur swung was much weaker than he originally could and with Gandalfr even in mid-air I seems to be able to exert strenght as if I was on the ground as Gandalfr with mastery over weapon allow me to form a stance that allow me to use full strength even if my feet was not touching the ground.

As a result both of us were push back as we land on the ground a few meter back. As soon as he land 7 golem which was dub as Valkyrie charge at the same time at Minotaur as each of them Thrust the swords at Minotaur body that caused…

*Psch*

… the Sword to shatter as the Minotaur was unharmed. Your kidding me? His skin was tougher than steel to be able to shatter the swords that was attacking him without doing anything. With a Swung of his battleaxes a Strong gust of wind surround the Valkyries as they were crush instantly by wind pressure turning them back to petal.

Oioioi… that golem was made of steel you know. To be able to crush them with just a wind pressure… there's only one thing that came to mind. Firstborn magic. He must have tried to conceal the fact that he was using Firstborn magic by swinging his weapon to create those wind but that won't fool me.

*KABOOM!*

Another Explosion though it wasn't as strong as previous one it was still enough if we want to remove the Darkness… little by little since Unless it was a complete Void it won't really effective.

But it still work, which might caused the Minotaur to change it target to Louise now as he start charging at Louise. Standing before them was me as I face Minotaur not wanting her to reach Louise.

The Minotaur Upon seeing me Swung his weapon down as I intercept his own attack with my sword.

*Boom*

His weapon strike the ground causing a small crater, but at this time I already jump to avoid from being blast away and with less than a meter of my Distance with Minotaur I swung my sword as soon as I land on the ground with all my strength.

"Haaaaah!"

The sword Graze Minotaur lower body as it only caused a small scratch from all strength I could Muster while using Gandalfr.

"Gah!"

Before I could do anything I was sent flying away by his kick as I fell on the ground but not before rolling a Few meter away as I came to a full stop.

That hurt… is what I want to said when I feel this soothing feeling as I feel my wound was being heal. Looking back I noticed that Momo with her wand raised seems the one responsible for the healing spell.

As for Guiche… it seems he's already ran out of MP as all he could do was stand as far away from the battle. Really? Are you really a mage? The Minotaur who have about to target Louise turn to look at me forgetting about Louise as if finding it interesting to watch me suffer.

But still… How the heck are we going to win this? If only that guy already finish his Hibernation already then there might still be a chance. At times like this I wish I could hear his voice right now.

"It seems you found yourself in interesting situation huh Partner."

Yeah, something like that. If only that guy could have just woken up and… wait?

I look at the Sword in my hand.

"Yo, The Great Derflinger have finally make his return! Did you miss me Partner?"

"Derf!"

Hm… I'm really scared on saying anything but… well for starter, I'm sorry for not updating this for loooooooooooooooonnnnnnggggggggggg time as I have no excuse for it. But I guess you can rest easy though as I decide to take this story again after I managed to reread this whole story from chapter one while fixing a 'few' error that I spot.

At first I thought of just ending all of this Arc in this chapter but found myself stopping since I felt like it will be too long if I tried to write all of it. So the next chapter will wrap all of it and for Saito will also met with Tiffa on the next chapter which I know many seems to have been complaining.

As for Siesta… I was having a debate whether to let her stay as a normal human without any power but since I was using an Rpg rule in this story it will be weird if one of the Heroinne doesn't have an option of joining the party so… well enough said as I don't want to give a spoiler.

I hope I didn't get the character ooc and as for Louise that was the way I see it if Saito managed to meet Louise not as a Familiar but as a person since Louise in the canon doesn't seems to regard Saito as a Person at first.

Hm… what next… there's probably mmore but I decide to stop my author note at here since I just want to post this new chapter fast before going to sleep.

That is all and see you guys next chapter.
