Shadow Ruler

Chapter 2.2



Chapter 2.2

Ill do as Im told and remain standing with my back against the big tree and try not to move.

I cant use magic, and I cant fight, so its impossible anyway.

But when the time comes, Im going to use what little strength I have and hit it with this staff.

Thats why I hold it in both hands and keep it ready.

The dogs didnt attack all at once, so they came at us a few at a time, but the cat wagged her tail.

-Bog!-

The cat would swing its tail and make a big poof sound against the dogs neck and knock it away.

Then the cat extends its claws about 10 centimeters and tears out the next dogs eyes.

The bird was pecking at the dogs eyes and clawing at the eyes and face with its three claws.

After the bird attacked, the dogs movements went weird, and then it became just a magic stone or something.

I was told later that the birds claws were poisonous.

The bird explained to me that it was a slow-acting type of poison.

But since he was protecting me, one of them slipped behind him and attacked me.

Master, youre dangerous!

Almost at the same time as the bird shouted, one of the biggest dogs in the pack (about the size of a large dog) jumped at me.

I unconsciously extended my staff, which I was holding at the ready, so that I could poke it straight at the dog.

Fortunately, even though my strength was not that great, the dog lunged at me, so it stabbed itself on its own.

Then, it was turned into nothing but stone and fangs.

Alright! Master nice! But sorry about that!

I was told later that the birds apology was for the dogs attack on me.

He had nothing to apologize for, right?

Hes protected me a lot, and thats enough.

But such coincidences didnt work twice.

I had no energy to begin with, my legs were wobbly, and I was a wreck, but I had used the last of my energy to kill one of the dogs.

In other words, there was no way I could do the same thing to the second dog.

Besides, there were only three of us, while the other side had so many.

Moreover, I was the one who was slowing them down.

Im not sure if I can do this anymore

I could have had so many more firsts

But I was happy enough to have lived until today, even though I was supposed to die at that time.

I was supposed to be filled with resignation, but tears started to flow from my eyes.

What?

Why am I crying?

The second dog that attacked me was a medium-sized dog, but it lightly dodged my wand and tried to bite me.

Im sure he would have easily eaten a dog the size of me.

And then

Master! Damn it! Were not going to make it in time!

I hear the panicked voice of a bird and the angry purr of a cat.

They were saying, Get out of my way! Thats what he was saying to the dogs that were disturbing him.

I closed my eyes as I hugged the cane tightly, hoping that at least the last thing I did would be painless.

*Gyan!

Water! Cut through it!

O-ri-yaa!!!

Move it, move it, move it~!!!!!

Get out of my way!!!

It doesnt hurt, even after a while.

Did I really die, was that why it didnt hurt anymore?

But I never stopped feeling tired or anything like that, like the bird told me before.

My legs were still shaking, and I was exhausted as usual.

And when I opened my eyes, I saw that my eyes were surrounded by blue.

Later, I realized that the blue was a garment called a robe.

Are you okay? Ill take care of you right away! But first! What are you doing with an innocent little girl, you dogs! How dare you!!!

Whoa! I understand what youre going through, but calm down!

Yes, thats right! Take it easy!

Youre gonna drag us into this! Damn it! Shes really going for it!

Water! Answer my call and pierce all my enemies!!!!

Stop it!!! Youre gonna get us dragged into that!

Ouch!

I thought I heard the beautiful big sisters voice, but then the big sisters voice quickly became scary.

Then I heard the other big brother and the other big sisters voices, sounding very panicked.

After that, there were a lot of dog noises here and there, and various sounds of things breaking off, falling down, and being crushed.

Whew!!! That felt good!

Right? You cleared the forest in no time at all Damn Youve got such a short temper

Indeed Someday Ill I can only see a future where Im going to be killed by this thing, not by a demon.

Thats I cant deny it, but I promise I wont tell Were buddies.

Anne-chan, shall we have a private talk later?

No! Im sorry! Ill take one meal duty for you, please forgive me!!

Well, fine.

Fuuuh

I think I was in a terrible situation.

I think Bird-san called it chaos I dont know what it means, but I didnt think it would be that bad

Master, are you all right? Are you hurt?
