Chapter 32

INUMAKI HERAKLES

Fighting the red-haired tamer, Revis was not as easy as he had expected, and as he jumped back and avoided another one of her attacks he could feel himself getting tired.

They had been dungeon diving for days, and Inumaki and Ais had been leading the charge, from the front during the later half of the campaign. And while being High-level adventurers, their endurance was much vast, it was not infinite.

BOOM!

The ground cracked underneath his, as he jumped back once more, growing more and more cautious with every passing second as the red-haired semi-spirit reaked havoc, causing massive destruction to the dungeon.

"Why don't you use that power of hers?" she taunted him, as she slashed through the cloud of smoke.

"The Power of your mother, Alfia," she called out, and her features were nearly monster like, but she had the mind of a human. And it made her all the more dangerous.

"Because I wished to ask you a question?" he taunted, even though the real reason was that he did not wish to use it just now because, he did not know the situation down below and in what state the rest of his companions were.

"Is that so?" Revis asked with surprise.

"I know who your master is. I know of his plans and have revealed his indentity to the people of the city already. Enyo, or I should say, Dinoysus will never succeed," he repeated as he looked her in the eye.

"You think I follow that cretin Dinoysus," she answered with a chuckle, as her face contorted as her voice shifted, gaining a faint deeper base.

"Do not insult me!" she raged, and he saw her eyes glow.

"That man was but a pawn to us. A useful tool for us to exploit to achieve our purpose," she smirked as Inumaki smirked.

"Us?" he asked, as fear gripped his heart. If Revis was not following Dinoysus's orders, then who was this second party he had missed—one that seemed to be pulling her strings?

"Yes, us," she answered and he saw the magical stone in her chest glow, as magic from the dungeon seemed to flow into her, as he felt her powers grow further.

"The true rulers of this world. The one's forgotten and forsaken by the humans, for those deceitful gods," she raged as her eyes gleamed, as Inumaki tried to make sense of her words.

And suddenly, it all clicked.

"Spirits?" he gasped out as she realized just why he had found her power to be so similar. Because it was much like Ais's magic.

This was not the regular human magic, or like his own magic tinged with Arcanum.

No, this was spiritual magic.

"Yes," the red-haired tamer answered, as her monster-esque features grew further, transforming her even more, as her eyes shifted once more turning full yellow, while a horn grew out from her forehead.

"It was we who helped humanity face monsters, we who blessed you puny humans in the face of extinction and yet you forgot us, pushed us aside for those deceitful GODS!" Revis raged as she vanished and appeared behind him, as Inumaki's eyes widened as he barely managed to avoid the strike as he jumped back.

Yet the red haired woman chased after him, forcing him to defend and the power behind each of her swings was near equal to that of Ottar himself, as Inumaki held barely held his ground.

BOOOM!

"You forgot about us! Pushed us to ruin!" she screamed, as the ground under their feet cracked from the power of their clashes.
