The time was running the same as the Earth's 24 hour system. After not long, it soon got dark and the moon unveiled itself. The red coloured [Passion] let out a fairly bloody glow, making the atmosphere rather creepy.

"Ynoir, are you sure?" Dye asked, a little worried.

"I am sure," Ynoir nodded firmly, "I would risk everything for the life we had now. For the life with you and Lin Mao..."

Dye smiled, "then, thank you."

Ynoir, whose face had been always stoic before, smiled gently at Dye. Dye was a little surprised when she saw Ynoir's gentle expression. Even though she was the one who created Ynoir, she had never known that Ynoir was able to smile.

In his expressions commands, there wasn't a single smiling expression...

However, she didn't think much of it, before smiling back with the same gentleness.

"Yes, go and protect what you want to protect, I will support you, no matter what," Dye replied, "I am the team leader after all."

"You are the backbone of our team," Ynoir said, looking at the third form of Thorny Iguana, Beserk Flame Iguana. From how the fight went, Beserk Flame Iguana lost the Reflection skill, but it now could summon flame helpers, which was dealt with by Ynoir.

The team continued their onslaught on the Beserk Flame Iguana.

The Beserk Flame Iguana's scales were a brilliant shade of red, they seemed like they were glowing. Its teeth became much sharper, but its thorns disappeared. Luckily, Blazing Flame Iguana was not able to fly, otherwise it would increase their load.

The fight ended much faster with the help of [Passion]. Because Ynoir's level was too low, he could not draw the full power of [Passion]. Though, it was enough for them to beat the third form easily.

[Passion] easily cut through Beserk Flame Iguana's defense. Spurts of blood came out of the wounds [Passion] inflicted. The bloody mist around Beserk Flame Iguana's body made the whole scene R-16....

But there was no R-13, R-16, or R-18 in Hyouka...everything was the same...

Even four years old little kids would be forced to see cruelty at such a young age. As she thought of this, one of her eyebrows twitched. She spared no time and healed Ynoir.

As Ynoir was performing the main assault on Beserk Flame Iguana right now, Lin Mao took over Ynoir's previous role. As the flame helpers were relatively easy to handle, Lin Mao's health did not deplete at all. His broadsword had performed quite a lot of lifesteals.

The 'majestic' Beserk Flame Iguana was obviously angry that it was being toyed with by a 'human'. Obviously it didn't have much intelligence as it didn't notice that Ynoir was not a human at all. Ynoir also didn't bother to tell the Iguana about his difference...

He even secretly glanced at Dye, 'I think the most different one between us three is her.'

If Dye knew what he was thinking about, she would probably bash Ynoir's head.

'Different, your head!'

'If I told you that I came from another world, would you believe me?'

'If you won't then don't think weird things!'

But it never happened because naturally, Dye didn't know a thing. She knew that Ynoir and Lin Mao would find out one day...

The fight ended up much faster than the previous two. [Passion], as the name said, was an agressive weapon. Ynoir and the elven race might not know, but [Passion] had already formed a weapon spirit.

Dye had designed 'weapon spirits' as spirit beasts' souls that was absorbed by the weapons, but she did create some weapons with their own naturally formed weapon spirits. These weapons were, obviously, rare, and she purposefully made only 16 of these weapons. One for each type of advancement.

[Passion] was the natural weapon spirit weapon for Creeper-Tachi class.

Or the class that would eventually advance to Night Ruler.

Dye was secretly very despicable indeed...(even though she had never thought of the 'fight for the weapons' outcome.)
