chapter 112

Thanatos had vanished after that day. Well, in truth she wasn't so much gone, but rather became invisible and dogged my every step. Although I didn't know the full extent of her powers, she was sure to be useful. Also, it was good to know that no one else could see her besides myself.

The problem was that regardless of where I went, she was sure to follow.

The bedroom was a given, the lab, during dinner and even while I was bathing or in the restroom.

Just imagine a God of Death hovering beside you, watching your every move.

The only situation where she couldn't stay by my side was when Vez wasn't around

I was the only time which I was free of Thanatos.

"Jillian, Jerna, Mayardus, don't stray too far from me."

"Yes Master. Are you expecting it to become dangerous?"

"Hmph! I'm not that weak."

Although Jillian was quick to accept my concerns, the Princess was too proud. She was also a Nosferatu which was an elite vampire, so her strength was decent. At a B+ rank, she was almost on the level of a regular dragon.

At the moment we were clearing a floor of the Killion dungeon which none had previously come to, but my assistance wasn't at all required. Over the past year my party members have really gained a lot of experience and strength, becoming first rate adventurers.

"Jerna, get ready there are a group of lizardmen ahead."

"Mayardus was the first to notice the enemy with her enhanced perception. Jerna's class had already advanced to an Archmage.

"Spirits of Ice heed my call, descend and freeze all before us!"

Following her spell the dozens of Lizardmen who were charging towards us were instantly rooted in place, having become monster popsicles. Lizardmen were genetically modified creatures so they were quite weak towards ice magic.

"My turn, Firestorm!"

Jillian had the same mastery of the fire element just like the Human Torch did. Only it was different from conventional, but rather some esper ability. Unlike regular magic which usually existed as an external force, Jillian could even control the fire within his own body.

Hwarrrrr

Kieeek Kieek

According to Lena's readings his Firestorm reached up to 2,000 degrees Celsius. Between the Ice magic, Firestorm and Mayardus personally piercing their hearts with her bare hands, The group of Lizardmen were quickly taken care of.

"What do you think, Johra? Still worried about us?"

"If there was something to worry about, it wouldn't be versus some puny Lizardmen."

Truth, I the reason I wanted them close to me was to keep Thanatos away, but I couldn't very well tell them that.

"Johra seems to be staying quite close to us ever since Melpomen escaped, are you thinking that we will also run away?"

"It's not...."

Jillian cut Jerna of, but the Princess continued.

"That was Johra's fault for overdoing it with her. Melpomene must have suffered too much at his hands so her running away is justified since she must have feared for her life."

I saw Thanatos give me a creepy smile from afar.

"It's fine if she escaped because I can still know where she is and that she's safe. I'm in no hurry to go and fetch her and I'm willing to leave her alone.
