It was a few days after I gained the power of infinity and powers of the reaper the girls and I headed to Shieldfreeden. I've yet to use any of my new powers as right now we've haven't ran into any foe to use them on. Right now we are traveling through a forest next to a village where a noble lives. I didn't want to cause a scene so we've been avoiding more towns all together and the girls didn't like it they wanted beds and a shower instead of a sleeping bag and lake or river baths. During our travels I found out that the royal army caused a forest fire to draw out Naofumi and the others I had hoped he would be okay.

We decided to rest for a bit at a trade station I payed the owner to keep quiet about us but he declined saying that he never trusted the king that he believed in the heros and the queen. While buying some food I felt something touch my leg I looked down and saw a familiar tail wrapped around my leg. "Kina get your tail off my leg" I said annoyed "aww your no fun" Kina said teasingly "what does a shadow of the queen need from me?" I asked "straight to the point I like it but I feel like we should chat a bit before we get to the serious stuff" Kina said "fine" I said in defeat "what do you want to talk about?" I asked "well first off how have you been you look stronger" Kina asked while she felt up my bicep and abs I pushed her off "I've been fine so far besides being public enemy #2, been fighting dragons, demons I also I died but besides that let's get to the point" I said dropping the subject "hmm I see those first two seem like a normal you thing but I can't picture you doing the third thing" Kina said "your stalling, you better hurry before the girls get back they don't like it when I talk to other women" I said "fine fine" Kina said "the queen would like you to check out the home of the noble Rabier her majesty is afraid that he might have slaves that are both human and demi-human he is torturing and we would like for you to investigate and put a stop to whatever is going on" Kina said. I heard the girls call my name from the distance Kina pulled me in close and kissed my lips when she let go she looked at me "my heat cycle is coming up I think we'd make some cute babies I also think the wolf girl's heat cycle is coming up also with the elf princess they like to mate under the blue moon which is coming up so be careful" Kina said she then licked my face then disappeared. The girls ran up to me "who were you talking to Y/N dear?" Nitra asked "no one important" I answered Luna began to sniff the air I smell something familiar she then began to smell me she then smelt my face she grew a face of anger "it was that damn cat she got all up on Abru" Luna said angrily "wait, what Y/N what did you do with that damn promiscuous feline?" Nitra asked "like your any better" I thought "nothing she just came here to inform me that the queen wants us to check something out and that's all" I answered not wanting to tell them what else Kina did and said.

It was late but we had finally made it to the town where Rabier's mansion is located. There was a large obelisk in the distance and a mansion behind it "that's where we're going" I told the girls pointing to it "I can't wait to free those slaves" Luna said "yes indeed this so called noble Rabier will pay for what he has done" Nitra said. We continued to walk but something happened the obelisk started to glow red and the ground began to shake suddenly there was an explosion of energy. Once the shaking stopped there was a loud roar the smoke cleared revealing a large t-rex like monster with horns I could feel the demonic energy radiating off the monster "what is that?" Luna asked "it's a demon" I answered "it's the Tyrant Dragon Rex" Nitra added. I saw it step on something or someone the I noticed it go for another figure I focussed in on it and saw Naofumi and his party the demon was going for Filo. "Girls we have to go help Naofumi and the others" I said "right!" they both said we ran towards the fight as Naofumi and Filo began to lead the creature away from town. When Naofumi saw us he was surprised to see us here "what the hell are you doing here" Naofumi said "what can't a friend help another friend out" I said "that's besides the point" Naofumi said "well I'm here to help" I said.

We managed the push the demon rex next to a lake we gathered together Naofumi and his party with me and my party the demon rex roared "hold on to your butts" I said "not funny dude" Naofumi said "oh come on at least I didn't say they move in herds" I said. Now taking things seriously I equiped my new staff that I got from the reaper.

"Cool staff" Naofumi said "thanks, now let's wipe this thing out like some meteorites to some dinosaurs" I said smiling

Even that didn't exactly do anything all it did was cut it's skin but it wasn't strong enough to kill it. I decided to try something else "to me my knight" I said soon my faithful black knight appeared by my side "that's your target kill it" I said pointing at the demon the knight soon faded away like a ninja and began attacking the demon everyone cheered for knight but it was also struggling I decided to call out a new ally "arise" I said suddenly a circle of fire appeared next to me soon the form of Abigor appeared next to me "your a lot quieter now" I said Abigor nodded "help" I said Abigor nodded and began to fight the demon. We now had an upper hand I saw Naofumi thinking about something soon the demon rex vanquished my creatures. Suddenly a large Filolial jumped out of the water and began to fight the demon rex and it was winning they both stopped for a minute it looked like they were talking to each other but soon they fought again soon the Filolial killed the demon rex and pulled out it's core the bird then looked at us the suddenly transformed into a small girl "who are you?" I asked "I'm the queen of all filolials" she answered "there goes the neighborhood" I said.
