Niruya Ruins.

( Yuuki's POV )

I teleported us to the island near the Nuriya ruins, and there we were greeted by a view of a beautiful beach, The place was practically begging us to take a break and of course, I had to share that with my family.

I told Leen what I wanted to do and she didn't mind waiting to explore the ruins, we didn't know exactly where they were so one of us would have to go for a swim.

I brought my family, Yumina and Sue's parents plus the servants of our mansion and some of the friends we made at the Silver Moon Inn because, why not?

The king and the duke spent their time competing like children while their wives were enjoying the beach quietly under a beach umbrella, Yashima and Barghest were next to me because we were in charge of the grill, I was enjoying watching the girls in swimsuits having fun, They all looked beautiful and that was exactly what I told them when they asked me how they looked.

After a while Tsukiumi came out of the water and walked seductively towards me, I couldn't stop looking at her which made her happy and she put on a proud smile.

Tsukiumi: Yuuki I think I found your ruins.

Yuuki: great, I'll go as soon as I'm done here.

Byakko: Excuse me, master, but how do you plan to investigate underwater?

Yuuki: I'm sure I can figure something out.

Byakko: May I make a suggestion?

Yuuki: of course, what do you have in mind?

Byakko: I think you should summon the black monarch, they can help you with the ruins and I would appreciate the help to protect your family, your family is quite big after all.

Yuuki: yeah That sounds like a good idea.

///////////////////

Byakko and I moved to a place where we wouldn't disturb others.

Yuuki: well, what should I do to call that black monarch?

Byakko: You start the summoning process and I will add some of my magic, they should answer my call.

I started the summoning process and I could feel a powerful presence like when I summoned Byakko, The process attracted the attention of the girls and they approached to see the black monarch appear, they were a giant turtle with a black snake coiled in its shell, The two of them were one being, the black monarch.

Black snake: oh white monarch it's been a long time, why did you call us?

Byakko: nice to see you, black monarch, my name is now Byakko and I called you here so that you can form a pact with my master.

Turtle: you formed a contract with a human, you have fall down byakko.

Byakko: Say what you want, you will soon be serving him too.

Tortuga: is that so? Very well I will humor you, human if you want to form a pact with me you will have to fight me, If you survive until sunset with all your limbs attached to you, I will accept your contact.

Linze: That doesn't sound right.

Yuuki: Correct as always Lince, that will take a long time, hit me with your best shot and I will receive it completely.

Linze: ...no that's not what I meant at all.

Turtle: you are underestimating us human.

Yuuki: just do it, you'll see what happens.

Black Snake: If that's what you want, don't say we didn't warn you.

The black monarch began to gather a huge amount of magic, then they fired four powerful jets of water, and like I said I received the full attack, I grew scales in the places they hit me and in the end, their attack only pushed me back a little.

Turtle: impossible, you're not human, aren't you?

Yuuki: Right, is that a problem?

Turtle: no it is not, we register your contact, give us a name to finalize the contract.

Yuuki: names ok, for the turtle from now on you will be Gray and you will be Seth, and when I refer to both your name is Genbu.

Byakko: Genbu you will have to take a smaller form so as not to cause problems for our master.

Gray: Understood.

Genbu transformed into his adorable form, which was a floating turtle that was circling around me.

Seth: It will be a pleasure to work with you Byakko.

/////////////////////

After forming the contract with Genbu I was ready to explore the ruins, they could control the water around them so that I could move and breathe as if I were on the surface, Which would be super useful if I ever needed to fight underwater, but before I started walking Yukikaze and Barghest approached me.

Yuuki: Hello girls, you need something from me.

Yukikaze: We're just checking on you, do you remember our conversation from before?

Yuuki: Of course, in my defense this time everything was calculated.

Yukikaze: uh-huh even Barghest ended up worried about you you know.

Barghest: ...yeah.

Yuuki: Don't worry, trust me ok.

I walked across the ocean floor easily straight towards the ruins that Tsukiumi had found, From the outside the place looked like an altar surrounded by pillars, when I walked inside I took some stairs down that took me to a platform with six small pillars around it, In them were what looked like magic stones.

Before investigating further I raised the earth around all the ruins to bring them to the surface and created a stone path that led to the beach.

I greeted the girls and they crossed the stone path to join me in the exploration, there was not much interesting stuff so I took the girls to the strange platform.

Yuuki: What do you think this is?

Leen: I'm not sure, but this should react to receiving magic, you try it.

Yuuki: me?

Leen: Yes, you can use all the elements and you have more magic than anyone else, if you can't activate it no one else can.

Yuuki: Understood, everyone stay back, in case something goes wrong.
