Selax, Fang, and Gallan charged into battle. They were teleported by Elsa to the battlefield. They had to handle the beasts that were headed for the town.
But they weren’t alone. A host of over a hundred labyrinth monsters of all sorts followed behind them, charging into battle.
Elsa wasn’t there with them because she and Jade had to create a deception barrier that made sure no one on the outside could see what was happening.
Jade carried Elsa on her back as they slithered around the battlefield, while Elsa dropped the nodes needed.
The nodes looked like her scales with shiny red tips.
When she planted all the nodes, she stopped, made a hand sign, and all the red tips activated, creating a very large veil that made it look like nothing was happening inside the veil.

Meanwhile, the battle in the veil had commenced with both sides clashing. Even with a lesser number, Selax was able to command her army, unlike the chaotic beasts.
“Fang, Gallan, you two are free to fight however you want,” Selax said.
Immediately, Fang’s fur exploded with lightning. He dashed like a bolt and broke into the enemy line.
His body was like an overcharged fury ball, moving so fast that one could not follow him with their eyes.

Some beasts encircled him and tried to attack. Fang roared, and a mighty bolt struck from the sky and decimated them.
The beasts were immediately terrified of him, and they retreated from him. Gallan walked up to him with a laugh.
“You scared them away, but now it’s my turn to get busy,” Gallan said and took out his daggers. These ones had been made by Zack the Minotaur, an excellent blacksmith who decided to gift Gallan since they got along well.
He used his Mana technique to make the blade even sharper and then charged at full speed. He leaped into the air and came down with a spinning slash.
He easily decapitated several beasts. He landed on the ground and started to massacre. His blade movements were fierce and precise; he wasted no excessive energy.
In the span of minutes, the beast wave had been cut down to more than half, with Fang and Gallan contributing a massive chunk.
The beasts started trying to run away, but Selax ordered her army to give chase and cut them all down.
Her army had also suffered losses; about ten had died, but it was still a domination compared to what the beasts had lost.
“That went easier than expected,” Gallan said.
“I alone could have handled it, but the master loves to be careful. It’s like he doesn’t understand the force he commands,” Selax said.
They watched as the labyrinth beasts killed all the remaining beasts. They all regrouped after the slaughter, and Elsa made her way to the center with Jade.
She deactivated the veil and then cast a massive teleportation circle that teleported all of them back to the labyrinth at once.

“My name is Aris, a chaos spirit. Form a pact with me.”
“Huh? A pact? What brought that up? Weren’t we just fighting right now? How did it go from that to forming a pact?” Silva asked.
“You defeated me, basically, meaning you are stronger. What’s bad in wanting to form a pact with a strong person? freewebnovel.cσ๓
Also, you are astonishingly good-looking, and you have a strong body for such an age. Who wouldn’t want to have you?
If you had lost this battle, I would have turned you into mine. I’d shower you with care and everything.”
“No, no, no, no, cut, cut, that’s too much.” Silva stopped her. What the heck was she saying? They just met, and she was talking about intimate things.
“Are we shy now? Don’t worry, you’ll get used to me,” she said and ran her finger on Silva’s cheek.
Lily held her hand and pushed it back.
“That’s enough touching. He is still a child by current standards, so tame your lustful eyes away from him,” Lily said.
“Ohhh? Could it be that you want him too?” Aris asked.
“Don’t ask dumb questions. I only stopped you because he is my master. I can’t have a chaos spirit touching him however she wants,” Lily said.
“Alright, that’s enough. Aris, tell me about this pact and what it entails,” Silva asked.
“Well, it’s like a contract we sign, binding us together. I’ll help you with all you need and listen to you.
The pact may look equal, but the stronger side is normally the boss, which is you in this case. I know you want to ask why I want to do this, but don’t worry about it.
I have personal reasons for wanting to form a pact with you. The fight with you also played a role in making me decide this,” Aris explained.
Silva thought about it for a while and decided to go with it. He couldn’t see any real risk, so he decided to try and take the risk, whatever they may be.
“Then how do we do it?” Silva asked.
“A drop of your blood and a drop of mine need to touch first, and then both parties must agree.”
Silva took out a knife and slashed his palm. She did the same with her sword, and they shook hands. Their hands glowed, and a pattern of a drop of blood appeared on the back of their hands and faded away.
That meant the pact was successful, and to complete it, a notification came up.
[You have formed a pact with a chaos spirit, Aris]
[You have gained a new dragon skill]
[You are on the right path]
[A powerful ancient being from beyond has seen you and your actions. Your latest action was the nail in the coffin]
[The being has decided that you are dangerous]
[He will start coming to stop you.]
[Survive]
[Message from the goddess Ophelia]
[I’m sorry, Silva, but the being that is coming for you is something else. I can’t help or give you details. Order refuses, please survive.
It might take a while for him to arrive, but he may send minions ahead of him.]
