Chapter  197: It's Mine {TL: By Creed} Sofia's front paw loomed before me. It was incredibly fast—and enormous. Escaping now would be difficult. Then, I have no choice but to block it! I braced myself, gripping my sword… Clang! A shadow suddenly intervened. Flowing hair that swayed in the wind. A beauty so divine, I wondered if this was what a goddess looked like. And eyes stronger than anyone’s. "Sofia!?" "What are you doing to my Fate!!!" Out of nowhere, Sofia appeared and effortlessly blocked Snow’s strike. But she didn’t stop there. With a furious expression, she launched a counterattack. First, she deflected the front paw— Then, spinning swiftly, she delivered an upward kick as if scything from below. It was an unbelievable sight, but… Snow was sent flying. "No way..." Even though Sofia was much smaller, she had just knocked back the rampaging Snow. Was this the power of a Sword Saint? It was reassuring… But also a little...

  Chapter 196: Battle with the Myths {TL: By Creed} Snow is so large that I have to look up to see it. And yet, it moves swiftly, like the wind. It’s not launching any clear attacks—just rampaging. Even so, adventurers and knights are being scattered. Buildings are collapsing, and fountains are being trampled underfoot. "I have to do something...!" If we fight here, how much damage will the surroundings suffer? Even if we manage to stop Snow, it will be meaningless if half the city is destroyed. "First, I need to draw its attention!" I timed my move and stepped forward. Gripping my sword’s hilt tightly—tightly— "Hazan!!!" I unleashed the technique I was most familiar with, the one with the greatest power. Am I overdoing it? Not a concern. Zero. If anything, this isn't enough. I need to launch an even stronger attack, or I won’t reach Snow as it is now. That instinct was correct— My blade couldn’t even cut Snow’s fur; it was like striking with a blunt w...

  Chapter 195: Disaster {TL: By Creed} "Gaaaahhh!!!" A beast’s roar echoed, as if it would engulf all of Blue Island. That voice was as sharp as a blade. As eerie as a vengeful spirit. And filled with intense rage. "W-what the hell is that monster!?" "Oh, come on, give me a break..." "Damn it, we're already overwhelmed dealing with the rioters, and now this!?" "What the hell is going on today!?" There was no other way to describe the beast— a catastrophe. Its enormous body shook the earth with every step. Its razor-sharp claws pierced through stone and steel with ease. Its jet-black fur was as hard as armor, impervious to blades. Adventurers, knights, and guards alike fell into despair. How in the world were they supposed to deal with this...? ―――――――――― "Caught up!" After running for a short while… I finally caught up with Snow, who was rampaging in the center of town. The battle had already begun. Adventurers and knights...

Chapter 194: The True Aim {TL: By Creed} "Haa... haa... haa...!" "Huff... huff... huff...!" Sofia and Lena stood with their swords poised, glaring at each other. Both were out of breath, their bodies covered in wounds. They had been fighting at full strength for several minutes. Yet, the battle was still undecided. "Ahaha... Sorry. I might have underestimated the Sword Saint a little." "Did you think you could defeat me easily?" "Yeah." "...Having you admit that so honestly is actually kind of irritating." "Being straightforward is one of my strong points." "You and that smart mouth of yours..." Irritated, Sofia felt the urge to strike Lena down immediately. But she couldn't afford to act recklessly. Even though she still had a trump card left in reserve… At this point, she had already used nearly all of her strength. And yet, she still hadn’t been able to take Lena down—they were evenly matched. What i...

  Chapter 193: Out of Control {TL: By Creed} The anomaly doesn’t end there. "Guu… Uuuu… GAAAAAAAH!!!" A sharp roar echoed—something unimaginable coming from the usually gentle Snow. And then, as if witnessing an illusion, Snow’s body began to grow. She surpassed Aisha’s height, became larger than me… And kept growing until she was bigger than a house. "W-what the…?" "Eh? W-wait… S-Snow!?" Licorice and I could do nothing but panic at the sudden turn of events. Aisha and Lyra were stunned speechless. "GAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Unaware of our confusion, the transformed Snow howled toward the sky. The air trembled violently. The sound was so intense that I instinctively covered my ears with both hands. "Tch… Snow!" This isn’t right. An unknown sense of urgency pushed me to call out her name firmly. Snow glanced at me for a brief moment. Her eyes, dyed a deep crimson like blood. Her fur, as dark as the night itself. Her fangs and claws, sharp as spear...

  Chapter 192: Further deterioration {TL: By Creed} When we returned to the city, I was at a loss for words. Lyra had a similar reaction, her face turning pale. Aisha trembled, clutching Snow to her chest as if seeking comfort. "This is..." We had only been away from the city for about thirty minutes to help Lyra. Yet, in that short time, the situation had worsened even further. The number of rioters had more than doubled. Despite the adventurers and knights desperately trying to suppress them, there were simply too many. They couldn't keep the rioters under control and were instead being pushed back. At this rate, we might actually lose. And if that happened... what would become of the city? Right now, the adventurers and knights were barely holding the line, keeping the damage to a minimum. But if that barrier were to collapse... Just imagining it sent a chill down my spine. "Damn it!" We had no choice but to reduce their numbers. I struck down a nearby thug. ...

  Special Story: Hagoita {TL: By Creed} New Year's Day We stayed at a reasonably priced inn in town and welcomed the new year. Honestly, we had wanted to spend it at Sofia’s family home. Or at mine. But the timing didn’t work out, so we had to postpone it this year. Next year, we’ll spend it at one of our homes. “Auu...” By the fireplace, Aisha was curled up. She held her hands out toward the fire… Her tail curled around her, and she was wrapped in a blanket. Even though she has fluffy ears and a tail, she still gets cold. The same goes for Licorice, who was curled up on top of Aisha’s head. Next to them, Snow was also curled up. “Ugh, so cold… Ah-choo!” Her sneeze sounded a bit like an old man’s. “Aisha-chan, aren’t you cold? Should I add more firewood?” “No, I’m fine. The fireplace is warm. And Licorice too.” “Huh? Me?! I feel like Aisha is stealing my warmth!” Licorice tried to fly away, but Sofia held her down, preventing her escape. She silently told her to be a heater for Ais...
