A party of young of adventures are traveling into the Demon Lord's land as they brought a novice adventurer who their mage as they set up camp... not far a yawn heard that sounds cute as a dangerous demon wakes up as her dark skin shines from the moonlight with her reddish pink wings and tail wrap around her to cover her nude body before seeing a campfire in the distance smelling a human and monstergirls causing her to enter hunt mode as she flies off to land nearby as a powerful barrier in her path as she see a Elf, Hellhound, and Orc but the human cloaked in a robe as the monsters are female talking about the cloak one
Orc: I thought mages are supposed to be enlightening not quiet?
Elf: Someone who calls himself the Calamity Mage... hasn't showed much work but put barriers up and be weak!
Hellhound: Yeah your so pathetic and weak!
The Manticore watches the mage just looks towards her as the party continues to insult him
Mage: I choose the class Calamity Mage, cause my affinity to demon magic... thanks to my magic the Manticore can't get to us.
Orc: Manticore!?
Hellhound: Oh dear I forgot about those... and it their season! So she more deadly if she hunting us.
Elf: Mage your are sacrifice... your weak as a level 1!
Mage: Fine... but I didn't choice this quest to retrieve a Ouroboric Flower which grows only here! We're novices to prove areselves but it futile if were being hunted.
The Manticore grins as the mage stated the obvious as she returns to her cave and waits as her snow white hair blows in the wind
Morning
The Manticore returns to the site of the camp to aquire the parties scent as they left in the middle of the night with illusion magic leaving no traces as she remembers the flower their looking for and heads towards the flower on foot as lesser demons are scared of her as she spots the Mage bleeding as she turns him over and see his light skin as the injury of a Hellhound as he opens his eyes as he looks at her
Mage: Beautiful!
She flusters as she watch him sit up and lean against a tree as he cuts his palm as he fighting death
Mage: Manticore, please save my life? I need to invoke a contract with you as my familiar!
The Manticore cuts her palm as she puts it on his bleeding palm as their blood mends together forming rope around their wrists and hands
Mage: I F/n L/n, the Calamity Mage hereby take this creature as my familiar... I shall honor, respect, and protect til I draw my last breath!
The Manticore watch his wound close as the blood rope shatters like glass and she feels his mana in full as he stares at her
F/n: Let go... we're linked as master and familiar and we need to get that flower before them as they'll overcharge are client.
Manticore: Yes Master... and I'll protect you!
They head towards the remaining three as they look for the flower as the Elf and Hellhound detect them as the Elf aims her bow and the Hellhound growling as they see F/n stepping out as they look shocked he alive as the Hellhound growling towards the trees
Elf: You can't be alive we killed you!
F/n: You pissed off the wrong mage... I was raised by demons before leaving my home after it's destruction. That flower can't be picked without magic familiar to demons... that fine I'll pluck it but you three are dead!
