The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Guremlin gasped in shock, now certain that the other party was definitely angry, otherwise they wouldn't have suddenly attacked so viciously.

"Oh my, that's a delicious meal!"

The previously silent Beast Lord let out a regretful sigh upon seeing Medusa being sunk underground.

"Speaking recklessly will have consequences!"

Miku glanced at the Beastmaster behind him, then focused all his attention on the Guremlin.

"Yes, there are consequences for talking nonsense!"

"But can you catch me?"

The Guremlin, his twin swords vanished, stood with his hands behind his back. "I've already guessed your true identity. Next time, I'll come looking for you!"

"Then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guremlin was suddenly lifted into the air by a root that bound his ankle and pulled him into the air.

At the same time, several roots wrapped around it with lightning speed.

"Oh dear, this is really bad luck!"

The Golemlin, who was struggling in the shadows, felt a wave of weakness and exhaustion. "Damn it, can these roots draw magic power?"

"Sometimes provoking the wrong person comes at a price."

Miku, holding the holy sword of physics upside down, approached Guremlin, his tone indifferent.

"I..."

Before he could utter a word, Guremlin stared in disbelief at his chest as Mikul plunged the Holy Sword of Physics into his body.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Serena's Collection!

"Wow!"

With a cry of pain, Guremlin watched helplessly as Miku slowly exerted his power, the sensation of the Holy Sword of Physics churning within his body making his eyes bloodshot with rage.

Especially when his hands and legs were tied, he had no way to resist.

“Sometimes, clever people don’t live long, you know?” Miku whispered in Guremlin’s ear, “Because strategy can never compare to strength!”

"Pfft..."

The Holy Sword of Physics pierced through the Guremlin's chest, and the Guremlin, convulsing from the excruciating pain, made a "hoarse" sound in its throat.

"Shh, don't speak, let's enjoy this moment!" Miku raised his hand to cover the mouth of the Guremlin, his tone cold yet arrogant: "Do you know why I don't really like using spells that kill with a single blow?"

"Because it's too fast, you can't fully enjoy the thrill of life passing away!"

Miku, who was turning the Holy Sword of Physics clockwise, whispered, "Do you know how disgusting your laughter is, and your face is even more repulsive!"

Miku, who drew the Holy Sword of Physics with a backhand motion, shook off the murky blood that clung to it. Although the Phantom was a magical entity, it still possessed a structure similar to that of humans.

However, once the internal core is damaged, it will inevitably cause a huge explosion!

"I just wanted to slowly enjoy my game, why did you jump in?"

The Holy Sword of Physics swiftly thrust out, piercing straight through the neck of the Guremlin.

Now he was completely unable to make a sound, and the terrified and desperate Guremlin looked at Miku with resentment.

He hasn't completed his plan yet, he hasn't evolved, he hasn't turned back into a human, and here he encounters a cat that doesn't play by the rules at all, and who flips tables whenever it wants.

"I won't kill you, because that would be too boring!"

Miku, whose eyes on his mask gleamed with an inexplicable light, drew his Holy Sword of Physics and dispelled his own magic with a backhand.

The Guremlin, its roots loosened, collapsed helplessly to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Click, click, click, click!"

Four consecutive sounds of bones breaking rang out, and Guremlin's limbs were twisted in the opposite direction, clearly broken by Mikul.

"Hey, have you found your ring yet?"

Miku, carrying the Gremlin in one hand, approached Beast Lord and tossed the Gremlin in front of him.

"If we find him, we'll eat him!"

"Eat him?" The Beast Lord asked in confusion, not quite understanding the current situation, but that didn't prevent him from understanding Miku's words.

"You're going to let me eat him?"

Beast Master, who had taken out his ring, looked at Miku with suspicion, seemingly not believing that such a good thing could fall from the sky.

"Well, consider it a meal invitation!"

"You said it yourself." The Beast Lord, wearing the ring, materialized his Driver. "Don't regret it!"

Fearing that Miku might regret it, Beast Lord took two steps back and shouted, "Transform!"

"Ah, that drawn-out way of speaking, I really miss it!" Upon hearing Beast's words, Miku pictured a man in a fiery red motorcycle suit with a resolute face.

With a sudden twist of his wrist, Beastman inserted the ring on his left hand into the groove of the waist driver, and the waist driver suddenly opened two miniature doors.

The door is carved with four animals: a chameleon, a bull, a dolphin, and an eagle, with a golden lion relief in the center.

"Set Open!"

"L, I, O, N, Lion!"

Amidst the melodious chanting, the lion statue unleashed a golden magic circle, within which a majestic lion emblem was engraved.

Amidst the roar of a lion, the magic circle passed through the Beast Lord's body.

He wore a lion's shoulder armor on his left shoulder, and armor of the same color on his chest. Black robes covered all parts of his body, and gold armor encased his joints.

"Since you've given it to me, I won't be polite!"

With his hands clasped together, Beast Master said smugly, "I'm here, main course!"

"Waaah, waaah, waaah..."

The Guremlin, writhing on the ground like a maggot, tried desperately to escape, but was lifted up by Miku.

"Catch your food carefully!"

After saying that, Miku threw Guremlin out.

Beastmaster gathered his power and unleashed a punch just as Golemlin was about to strike. Golemlin, whose face contorted with despair, showed signs of pain as he was struck.

Just then, Miku whispered, "Takikawa Sora, prepare to face your despair!"

With disbelief in his eyes, Takikawa Sora turned his head to look, and the next second he exploded into a ball of flames.

A magic circle representing the magic power of the Guremlin emerged from the flames, but was ultimately swallowed by Beast Lord's belt.

"Gudu!"

After a sound like swallowing, Beast patted his belly contentedly: "Now I'm finally full!"

"Is that so? Then congratulations on enjoying your meal!"

Miku waved and turned to leave the restaurant, which had been completely turned into a mess. Iggy had disappeared somewhere, and they had to find him before he caused any more trouble.

"What a nice guy, actually giving away the food he already had."

Just as Beast Lord, with his hands on his hips, reverted to his original form, an arm draped over his shoulder from behind.

"Oh, can we talk?"

.......

In the dead of night, a half-moon hangs high in the dark sky, with the hazy starlight twinkling softly in accompaniment to the moonlight.

At Serena's mansion, Miku's figure was faintly visible on the rooftop in the night.

"What's going on? Why did Beast Lord come out so early?!"

Miku, who was lying on the roof in a peasant's pose, let out a melancholy sigh: "Is it because of my influence?"

"That shouldn't be the case. My actions only affected the mage, not the beastman, right?"

Miku, who believed he hadn't interfered much with the timeline, was unaware that his very existence was the biggest variable.

Whether it's sealing the Phoenix or killing the Guremlin today, both actions are disrupting the natural course of this world, and the early appearance of Beast Lord is meant to restrain Miku.

However, for Miku, he is currently just a max-level character pretending to be a newbie in the newbie village. At this stage, everyone is easy prey except for White Demon, who is a bit troublesome because of his daughter complex!

"It's really upsetting that my plans have been disrupted!"

Miku, who let out a frantic howl, twitched his ears and turned to look behind him.

"Why are you howling on the roof in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

With a frown, Serena looked up at Miku from the balcony under the roof. Miku pouted and said, "It's a bit annoying, I can't sleep!"

"You have worries too?" Serena tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. "I thought you were always smiling and never had any worries!"

"Any living being capable of thinking will have worries!"

Miku, who had just leaped off the roof, strolled over to the table on the balcony. "And you, why aren't you asleep?"

"It's all because of you!"

Serena glared angrily at Miku, then sighed and said, "But thanks to you, I no longer have to live in fear, and the house is much more lively now!"

"Well, I'm just keeping my word!"

Miku flicked his tail and spoke nonchalantly. Serena shook her head and changed the subject, saying, "If you can't sleep, how about taking a look at my collection?"

"Your collection?!"

Miku's tail suddenly perked up as his interest was piqued: "Great, I'm very interested!"

"Then come with me!"

Serena, who led the way, walked smoothly from the balcony into the room, with Miku following behind. After they arrived at Serena's room, Serena stopped in front of her bookshelf.

A darkroom?

Miku muttered to himself as he watched Serena pull a book from the bookshelf.
