12 Chapter 12: Hunting With A Feisty Ferret!

The small golden fox, which he seemed convinced was a ferret, snarled at him, yet he ignored her attitude and snarls, petting her soft, fluffy body.

"Wuu!" (You rude plebeian! I command you to kneel before this Queen!)

"Wuu! Wuuu!" (This Queen is the future demon queen, Knave, don't touch me there, ahh! Stop this perverted commoner!)

"Haha, this ferret is so damn soft! Sylvia, I want one!"

"Wuuu!!" (This princess is a purebred demon fox! I will end you and the ghostly apparition beside you!)

Lucian took the cute, wounded fox into his arms and cradled her like a toy while stroking her entire body, enjoying the smooth, silky fur.

The poor female fox was filled with conflicting emotions of anger and comfort as she tried to claw his arms, causing no damage and only seeming to give him a soothing massage.

'What should I name this ferret, come to think of it...'

"Hey, Sylvia, is this a daddy or mother ferret."

[…]

"Wuu Wu wuu wuuu!" (Of course, this Queen is a lady! Take your dirty bloodsucking hands off me… Hmph! maybe after you stroke my neck just a little longer, yes there! good work, plebeian.)

"WUU!" (STOP, DON'T LOOK THERE, PERVERT! I'LL BITE!!)

Lucian didn't have a link with her and only heard the fox's cute little barking and found it adorable, then took a peek between the fox's legs which caused her to go berserk.

"Ooooh, it's a mother ferret, then I shall name you Miumiu!"

He wrapped the little thing around his neck like a scarf and walked deeper into the forest, the poor fox yelping in protest but powerless.

"Equipped the finest ferret scarf +100 charm."

[…]

"Hey, Sylvia, why do you keep making a static noise?" Lucian said. He felt sad only speaking to himself.

[The number you have dialled is not available.]

"..."

"Lucian -10 Affection."

"Wuuu!" (How dare a man look at my naked body! You fiend, rapist, molester! I will fight you to the end!)

Miumiu began to bite at his neck fiercely, her tiny teeth only causing small, soothing nips on his skin, as her large bushy tail slapped his back with a pom.

Her actions caused him slight pain, but he thought she was showing her affection and needed a bit of training, thus continuing his journey.

[Several lifeforms detected 500 metres to your north.]

"Lucian +20 Affection."

"Ahh, my beloved Syl-Navi. Without you, I would be forever lost."

[System suggests host focus and stop getting carried away by the emotional high of levelling up and getting a new pet!]

"Ah… You found out."

"Miumiu, don't fight! I will find you nice meats and rats to eat later. Use that energy on the bad guys. We will fight soon."

"Wuu" (Stinky vampire, fight the bad guys yourself, who wants to eat a rat! Hmph!)

He took the fox and prepared for combat. His target was a group of goblins equipped with weathered iron equipment.

Meanwhile, the poor fox began to feel a sense of pleasure from his mistreatment, swearing to get revenge on him.

At first, the revenge was death, slowly degrading as she felt more and more comfortable, now wanting to make him her servant, to stroke her tail and comb it when she wanted.

Her cute tail would sway in delight when his hands squeezed her nose or rubbed her chin as the silly female fox fell into a deep, inescapable quagmire.

Lucian watched as the goblins made a fire with their crude tools, his vision tinted red while waiting to turn them into experience points.

Grasping his twin swords, he inched closer and checked their combat power.

'Hmmm, six warrior types, five scouts and one leader, looks like it will be fun!'

Lucian's breath began to hasten, filling him with a sense of delight; slowly, the nerves from fighting turned to pleasure as if becoming a battle junkie.

The goblins were not prepared for combat as they began to boil a dead rabbit in some water, as Lucian grasped his swords tight with mana surging through his body, filling his arms, hips and legs with a smile painted on his face.

He shot through the air with a silver light, spinning in a half circle with both swords drawn, like a rotating top; the leap closed the distance, catching the goblins off guard, his dynamic sight able to watch them in slow motion as his left blade tore through a scouts eyes.

Lucian's left sword cleaved his entire head from the nose upwards off, blood and filth spraying onto his body as the skull dropped with a loud thud.

"It taste's like a cold burger the morning after ordering one," Lucian said as his long tongue slid over the black blood on his face.

The goblins were stunned and began to screech, trying to use the intimidation skill, but it failed as they moved to surround him, commanded by the leader.

Lucian dropped his stained body, watching as two sword-wielding goblins charged towards him, filled with anger and rage, their ugly green faces moving closer.

Lucian took a step back, pointing his right sword forward, keeping an eye on the distant scouts.

"Mistress of earth, show me your voluptuous bosom; pierce these fools with your heavenly grace! Earth spikes!"

The ground trembled, before several thick spikes shot from the ground, destroying the goblin's camp and piercing through their bodies like paper, impaling four goblins from their crotch to their brains.

"Graah!?"

With a flash of green, the goblin leader charged forward, slamming down his thick axe towards Lucian at the moment after his spell.

Lucian crossed his blades in the last minute of the swing, clang! Despite his considerable strength, he felt a sore sensation in his arms as the loud smash of metal and sparks flickered from his blades.

The leader pressed down, holding Lucian in place as two goblins tried to assault him from the flanks; not to lie, Lucian felt a little bit of pressure and began to feel his lack of combat experience as he clenched his teeth tight.

A huge barrage of several flames shot from his shoulders, hurling towards the goblins to each side, followed by the loud yelp of the fox.

Lucian kicked the goblin leader back, taking a few steps to adjust his footing, looking behind him to see the little fox acting arrogant, with a proud look on her face, so he flicked her little black nose, causing her to bite his finger and neck while growling.

"Wuu WUU wu!" (This Queen saved your life, yet you beat me! Ungrateful Knave!)

A slight flaming mana circled Lucian's body as he began to take the battle seriously, the glint of his silver blades moving slowly in his eyes as he watched the remaining goblins seem to feel fear as they backed away.

Lucian whispered to himself,

"I dedicate this dance to my lovely ferret; it's showtime, boys. Let's dance!"

The instant the crimson spoke transformed into flames, the goblins turned to flee.

Lucian would never let them escape, darting forward with graceful steps, dashing between the goblins as his blades elegantly carved them up, like a shooting star or radiant comet, the red flame lighting up the forest as he sliced, stabbed and then flicked his sword clean of the rancid goblin blood.

The leader's head dropped as his body shot passed him, slaughtering the other three goblins.

A final goblin stood still before slowly his body collapsed into several pieces after being trisected.

Like a bloody black rose, their bodies all fell simultaneously, forming a macabre but beautiful scene of a bloody goblin rose made of corpses.

Lucian ended his dance with a slight bow while the small fox looked down at him with focused eyes, settling her thumping heart down.

Yet her tail began to sway like crazy.

"Hey Sylvia, do you not have any gifts for me? Other people's systems have super powerful novice gifts or skills?"

[Hmph! Threaten to make people toasters. Here! Please don't say I never gave you anything!]

"Ding! entered Siesta's hidden route."

[...]

A large black orb appeared in front of his face; Lucian desired to devour it whole as it entered his body. He realised just how big this gift was and felt his affection bar for Siesta maxing out.
