Sand and dust slowly rose with the breeze, and the black windbreaker kept swaying and echoing in the air.
This is the martial arts arena at Cravenna Mansion.
Victor stood in one place, looking at the empty martial arts field.
"Hey!"
A girl-like figure came around behind Victor and patted him on the shoulder.
Feeling the power coming from his shoulders, Victor didn't react at all.
As if he had already expected who the visitor was, Victor just asked calmly:
"What's up?"
The girl behind him didn't feel surprised.
Victor's calmness seemed to her almost expected.
She hadn't expected to scare Victor in the first place.
So she stood on tiptoes, propped herself up, and jumped up from behind Victor.
Hanging on Victor's back, his arms wrapped around Victor's shoulders.
"Victor, what are you doing here?"
Kokot's head popped out from behind him and asked curiously.
Victor turned his head to glance at her and responded calmly:
"wait."
Uh...that's a little too vague.
Kokot thought this and looked around.
She didn't see anyone around here but herself.
Could it be that the other party is waiting for her?
Oh, but she had another problem.
"What's wrong with your Liya? I just saw her going out alone, and her face was very red."
She recalled carefully that she had never seen Liya behave like this before.
Thinking that yesterday, Liya felt extremely sad because her family's cemetery was dug up by Victor.
She didn't have the nerve to catch up and ask why.
But Victor did not respond. Instead, he asked her:
"You're strange too."
"At this time, I can actually see you awake."
Not only that, Victor felt strange when he could see her walking with her feet on the ground.
Kokot sighed, fell from Victor's back to the ground, shrugged, and said helplessly:
"There's nothing I can do. My clouds are gone and I can't sleep at all."
Even Kokot can't fall asleep if he wants to without choosing a place.
Just like it was in the Forest of Elves.
The surrounding environment made her feel uncomfortable, so she naturally couldn't sleep well.
Since you can't sleep, it's better not to sleep.
She was used to being on soft clouds, so she felt a little uncomfortable even lying on the softest bed in Cravenna's house.
What's more, leaving aside the cloud, there is a group of nature spirits in the huge backyard of this mansion.
As long as she gets even slightly closer to the elves, the elves' constant prayers will ring in her head.
Chirping, buzzing.
Perhaps the only bad thing about becoming a sacred tree is that the voices of the elves are louder.
She couldn't sleep due to the heavy buzzing sound.
So, Kokot had no choice but to grab Victor's arm, shake it, and ask Victor in a soft voice:
"Victor~ When will we go back?"
"I miss my clouds and my garden."
Somehow, ever since Victor woke her up from the sacred tree that day, she wanted to do this to Victor.
According to human terms, this should be called... coquettishness?
Kokot thought.
She gave up thinking and held onto Victor's arm tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Otherwise, you can just hold me. Maybe I can fall asleep if you hold me."
Simply put, she still didn't want to walk on her own.
Days without clouds are really tiring.
But at this moment, at this moment, a sound of flapping wings came from the sky.
A black feather followed the wind and swayed in front of Kokot.
A dark one-eyed crow stood on Victor's shoulder.
It shook its body and fiddled with its protruding feathers with its beak.
Um? Victor's crow?
Kokot was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the pet crow that often followed Victor had disappeared just now.
After Vega came back, Victor calmly retracted his arm that was grabbed by Kokot.
"If you don't want to walk, I can temporarily prepare a bicycle for you."
"Goose?"
When Kokot heard this, he couldn't help but become confused.
transportation? What is a means of transportation?
Just look at Victor looking at the empty field in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said rather mysteriously:
"The premise is that you must be able to accept it."
The next second, in the space in front of Victor, a crack suddenly tore out with a faint green light.
boom--!
A huge undead gate pulled out a huge and majestic body from the crack.
The double giant doors opened to both sides, and red vortexes surged from them.
Thick, dark green smoke overflowed out, immediately covering all four sides of the venue.
At the top of the gate, green flames burst out from the eyes of the goat skull.
At the same time, orange-red sparks and flames spit out from the mouth.
The two blended together, carrying an extremely terrifying aura of death.
Even the originally clear and clear sky became extremely gloomy.
Under the heavy smoke screen, a piece of red climbed up the clouds.
It was as if the entire world was gradually being submerged in this scarlet color.
Kokot stood there blankly, looking at the rising door, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
Then, her premonition came true.
An extremely huge claw stretched out from the Gate of the Dead and stepped heavily into the ground of the martial arts field.
The scarlet flames on the giant claw kept burning, making a dull crackling sound.
At that moment, it was like a huge wave of pressure pouring out from it, making Kokot's hair stand upside down, and he was so scared that he froze in place.
Immediately afterwards, three heads protruded from the red vortex.
The three dog heads bit the surrounding air ferociously, with fishy saliva dripping from between their white teeth.
The flesh on his cheeks were squeezed together, and he looked at the dull Kokot in front of him fiercely.
At this moment, Kokot's whole body trembled.
My legs felt weak for a while.
Being stared at by the vicious dog's three pairs of red eyes, she felt as if she had become the prey of the three-headed dog, like food in its mouth.
A coldness rushed down his spine to his brain, and the sense of danger kept ringing alarm bells in Kokot's mind.
Then, the huge three-headed dog that occupied almost half of the martial arts arena completely withdrew its body from the gate of hell.
It stood on the ground, breathing heavily.
Even the breath exhaled by its three heads was like a flame, burning the entire surrounding land.
"Whoa whoa whoa!!! Don't eat me!"
This scene frightened Kokot into a trance, and he hurriedly hid behind Victor.
He closed his eyes and squatted down holding his head.
"Victor! What the hell is that? Wuwuwuwu..."
The corners of Victor's mouth slowly raised, as if he was pleased to see Kokot's fear after a long time:
"Look clearly."
"This is the tool you're going to use to get around."
Kokot was like a rattle, shaking his head wildly.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I won't do it..."
At this time, Victor slowly raised his head and looked at the three-headed hell dog whose eyes were filled with red.
The vicious dog from hell is still too oppressive.
Even if you don't mention its bonus from hell, at level 65, it is not something that ordinary people can match.
Victor waved his hand, and the huge door to hell closed and fell into the green crack again.
The gloomy red atmosphere around him gradually dissipated after the gate disappeared.
The clear sky reappeared above the two of them, as if everything just now had never happened.
Without the aura of hell, the three-headed hell dog could only accept the aura of reality.
Its huge body slowly shrank, and the flames on its body gradually faded and extinguished.
In the blink of an eye, Cerberus transformed into the size of a normal puppy.
But unlike normal dogs, it has three heads.
It sat on the ground with its two front legs propped on the ground, its three heads sticking out their tongues and gasping for air.
It wagged its tail and made two "woof" sounds from time to time.
Having three heads means having three thoughts.
This causes it to often shout and annoy its other two heads.
Then, a dog gets into a situation where he is scolding himself.
"Woof woof woof!"
The noisy barking of dogs continued in Kokot's ears.
Listening to the normal barking of a puppy, Kokot gradually opened his eyes.
It lowered its head and cautiously glanced ahead.
It was a red puppy with three heads, and it was even a little fat.
Kokot was stunned for a while, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he stood up tremblingly.
She pointed at the three vicious dogs in front of her and looked at Victor:
"This...what the hell is this?"
Just now, it didn't look like that just now!
"Hell's Watchdog, Cerberus."
Listening to Victor's explanation, Kokot's eyes were full of doubts.
hell? Cerberus?
She didn't understand any of them.
And Victor continued to add:
"This is for Liya's housekeeping."
For a moment, Kokot was stunned.
She stared at Gouzi with doubtful eyes, and Gouzi raised his six eyes and looked at her.
That thing just now is used to look after homes and nursing homes?
What do you have hidden in your home that you would use to view your home?
Victor looked at the person and the dog looking at each other, and his body gradually became transparent:
"Then, just share your feelings with it here."
"But coming from hell, it may not be easy to communicate with."
call--!
The moment he finished speaking, his entire body turned into dots of starlight and disappeared.
Kokot blinked and saw Victor disappear. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Hey Victor, where are you going? Don't abandon me, don't abandon me!"
"Hello!!!"
But no one responded to her.
Kokot turned back tremblingly, looked at Gouzi, and gave a forced smile.
"Uh...hi?"
"Woof!"
…
The water droplets hit the rocky ground, making a hollow echo.
Victor held a ball of bright red flames and walked into the deep cave.
As soon as he entered, a pair of green snake eyes shot straight at him.
The huge tiger man lay on the ground with his tongue hanging out.
His eyes were closed tightly, as if he had lost consciousness.
But Sephiroth was sitting aside, leaning against the wall.
The clothes on his body were torn in several places.
But in this battle, she was the final winner.
Perhaps sensing Victor's arrival, she began to mutter in a dull voice:
"[Number of confrontations 11 times]"
"[Record of 10 losses and 1 win]——The goal has been achieved."
Victor stood in front of her, lowering his head and looking at Sephiroth's snake eyes:
"It seems that you have completed my mission."
"Then now, you have a choice."
"Choose to come with me or leave free."
Sephiroth's pupils, which were originally spread out, suddenly shrank and stood up.
He said mechanically:
"Recognizing whitelist task - Heni"
"Identification successful."
"Task 1: Become a teaching assistant."
