Fumiko's Lordship (2)

A white Fenrir?

Both I and Hana can feel a chill run down our spines when we heard about it. The Fenrir, a creature that holds the Demon Lord Sproutling. I assume it's very strong and we stand no chance of fighting it.

"Fumiko, run!"- Hana shouted while running. I did the same thing, for a second it seems like Fenrir has lost us but no, it wasn't. It's just making its presence known. A creature this powerful will do it without breaking a sweat.

"There!"- Hana talked with me via the telepathic network

We ran in the way she indicated us to run.

With all of our best efforts of evading the Fenrir, we still couldn't do it, when we turned to go closer to our cabin it jumped in front of us cutting our access point to any shelter.

"I just want to talk. Sorry for scaring you 3"- A talking giant wolf is in front of us, much taller than a Magi Wolf. It has fur white as snow, and its eyes seem a little off for a wolf, but its aura is not threatening, or so I hope.

!Analysis complete: The Fenrir isn't hostile!

"Fine. But don't sneak up on people like that"- Hana breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't have time. I want to test the 2 of you right now. You must pass my tests."- What is he talking about?

"What tests are you going to put them through?"- Fumiko asked the wolf.

"You will see shortly. Now, you 2. Try to take these 2 sprouting from me."- A bright red light enveloped the Fenrir turning it into a tall, pale-skinned, and slender girl with silver hair.

"How is a monster able to transform into a human?"- Fumiko looked at Fenrir in amazement.

"Well, there are the personification and humidification skills. My kind, although rarely is born with this skill. Once you have these skills you are a human stuck in a wolf's body"- The girl stretched her body for a bit. I don't know if I can do this

!Fenrir is level 1000. Her stats are 100 times bigger than yours!

"Ok, I won't move too much and won't attack. We begin in 3,2,1 and..... GO!"- On the go Hana charged at the wolf, I have another idea. I charged at it while preparing my shadow tendrils to interfere with her attacks, no. I will have to steal her Demon Lord Sproutlings from her this way.

I reach closer to her but both me and Hana and thrown out of the way, it didn't look like she even move a finger. My shadow tendrils don't have enough reach from this point that I am in and I don't have enough mana to extend their reach either, I used most of it to summon a lot of them so I am stuck with 50 tendrils of 5 meters.

Hana charged again with her Katana, it was caught between her fingers, I charged again, and I jumped in the air using my shadow tendrils but made it look organic enough to seem that is the height that I can jump without them. A strong gust of wind released from her palms sent me flying backward.

Man, what should we do now? She doesn't even look tired. Maybe this isn't the correct approach to fight her.

"If that is the most the 2 of you can do, then you are decent. You 2 have intellect, but you lack strength. Shall we continue?"- This is my chance.

"No, I give up"- I stay on the ground and try to get up, she runs over to me and helps me stand up, this is the chance, with my shadow tendril I stole the Sproutlings and gave them to Hana.

"Now, let's continue..."- She put her hands on her shoulders and saw the Sproutlings missing.

"They are here!"- Hana smiled at her.

"Now, how did the 2 of you do it? I am confused. I didn't feel anything or didn't feel like it was grabbed. Hikaru said he gives up so I went to help him and now they are there?"- She looked confused. She looked at us for over 10 minutes.

"Do you want to know how we did it?"

"Yes, please"- She sat down and signaled for all of us to sit down.

"Well, I used a Shadow Magic-based skill, Shadow Tendrils, and Shadow Hand"- The Fenrir looked like she has a knot in her neck

"Wait, you have shadow magic? It makes sense now"- She looked at the ground

"Yes, is it not that common to hear about shadow magic?"- She looks scared when I mentioned shadow magic

"Yes, it's very rare, only demons and people of the assassin class have it, even among them shadow magic is rare. It's magic that can only be seen by someone that has shadow magic as well as the Shadow Eye skill. The skill that I don't possess. I couldn't even detect your tendrils."

"Look, we didn't fairly obtain the items for you, it was done more through deceit. You can have them back. We will challenge you again when we are stronger than this. Hana, please, give them back"- Hana returned the sprouting to the Fenrir.

She paused and giggle for a second.

"You 2 can keep them. I don't need them. I know that the next 2 demon lords will be good people. That's the easiest part when you want to become a demon lord. The next part is the subordinates and the soul gathering. I wish you 2 luck with that"- She got up and left. She returned the Demon Lord Sproutlings to us.

Me and Hana consumed the 2 Sproutlings.

#The individuals Tanaka Hikaru and Hana Tomura had successfully absorbed the Demon Lord Sproutling. The Growing Festival will begin when the last evolution stage had been reached#

I can hear The Great Voice again.

!This was just a local message to the 2 of you and people close to you 2!

"I can't believe it. You 2 obtained the Demon Lord Sproutling. That is great. congrats!"

We continued to walk with Fumiko by our side until we reached the cabin.
