Not much has happened in the last few days. The trip back was uneventful and the posterior days consisted of completing simple gathering quests while playing around. However, the peace and tranquility could not last for too long, could it? What kind of story would it be if nothing interesting happened?

Ahem, anyway, today was like any other day and so our group went to the guild to pick up some quests as usual. What they didn’t know is that today or rather yesterday, a special someone had come to town. This someone came to the guild with his own group.

As usual the doors of the guild hall were wide open with people coming and going on this morning. Our group of girls were walking while discussing what they would be doing today. As per usual, Lilith wanted to gather herbs and laze around and Aurora wanted to hunt something down. As for the rest, they didn’t care as much.

“I’m telling you, wasn’t taking down that oger fun? Come on, let's go hunt another one or a troll!”

“Yeah, it was fun but we should also rest from time to time you know”

“You say that but if it were up to you we would do nothing else but rest”

“I… fine but tomorrow we are resting and that's the end of it okay?”

“Yey!”

Anyone not aware of their strength would be horrified at the thought of these seemingly powerless girls trying to fight an ogre much less a troll. Thankfully, no one could hear them since they were talking in a low voice akin to a murmure. It is also worth mentioning that the guild would not give them these kinds of subjugation quests but instead it was something they wanted to do in their spare time.

While stepping inside an unusual sight caught their attention. An elven man in shining armour stood in the middle of the hall exuding a rather strange aura. His full body armor painted in golden and silver colours gave him the appearance of a paladin or hero. As a matter of fact, no one would be able to guess he is an elf except for his pointy ears.

Short blond hair with no arrangement in particular. Normally such hair would give the impression that it is messy and poorly cared for. However, in his case it gave him a strong look not to mention it was properly cleaned and taken care of. His blue eyes with tinges of green weren’t exotic but they weren’t dull either and helped to compliment his knightly appearance. His face is well proportioned as well giving the impression it was sculpted by a master craft’s man.

Above all else, one could tell sturdy well toned muscles adorned his galant body below the armour. A confident smile adorned his face while looking at his surroundings. He wasn’t alone either, a group of women were closely following him with enamored eyes. From humans to elves, beast-kins and dwarves as well, In total eight of them.

The sight was odd but it had nothing to do with Lilith or Aurora, much less with the rest so they didn’t mind it and continued on their way. That is until the blond elf stood in front of them.

“What is this my eyes see! such beauty held in front of me! Like a flower that has just started blooming this Eldric Mulphenstain would be a sinner not to notice the potential hidden within. Mon chéri, Let this Eldric Mulphenstain make an offer for I have fallen for you at sight. I wish to spend my remaining days accompanied by such a delicate flower! Fear not for I, Eldric Mulphenstain will guard and protect you. No evil shall put its hands on you as long as this Eldric Mulphenstain breathis. My wealth shall become yours so be honoured that I, Eldric Mulphenstain have chosen you as my bride!”

All those words were spoken to Lilith which admittedly is a beauty for her age. That being said, Lilith had no interest in the man. Yes he is good looking but his personality is an absolute no. Not to mention that, even though she wasn’t aware of this yet, in Lilith’s heart there was no space for anyone else but Aurora.

“Not interested”

Suddenly the hall grew silent. Mister Eldric’s face contorted from surprise to anger and back to his calm smile in an instant. It was more than clear that for him, being rejected was an extremely rare occurrence. As Lilith tried to continue walking towards the bulletin board once again Eldric stood in front of her.

“Sorry for this Eldric’s Mulphenstain’s poor behavior. It seems you have not heard of my greatness, so I shall humbly explain who Eldric Mulphenstain is! Born in a rich and righteous noble family with many gifts given by the gods, that is me, Eldric Mulphenstain! When young trained by the best masters of their various crafts absorbing their knowledge and surpassing them in no time at all. Now as an A ranked adventurer this Eldric Mulphenstain travels the world saving damsels in distress and offering a helping hand to those who need it”

To add to his words Eldric moved his body accordingly in an exaggerated manner to put emphasis on his words. At this point Lilith was already annoyed but no one could have ever guessed what happened next. The quiet Aurora who was currently standing behind Lilith couldn’t take it anymore and stepped forward. At that moment Eldric’s eyes landed on her.

Aurora’s physic had drastically improved in these few days. Now she looked like a healthy younger girl but that wasn’t all. Before her sickness one could already see she would grow up to be a lovely girl. Now, her body was going through changes and her appearance was no exception. If Lilith’s beauty was like that of a snow covered pine forest with a frozen lake then Aurora felt like a volcanic area with hot-springs and lava gently flowing around.

Aurora’s slightly tanned skin, wild-looking hair alongside her ears and tail made people have an inner desire to tame her. That accompanied with her well proportioned body and face made her a beauty comparable to Lilith.

“Oh but what we have here! I must have been blinded for not having noticed such a gem of beauty. It is said that the most beautiful gems are the best hidden ones. Since you stepped forward you must have been enticed by this great Eldric Mulphenstain! Don’t worry for I shall not reject-”

“Shut, the fuck, up!”

If before the hall had fallen silent, now it was silent enough for the beating of those present’s heart to be heard. A thick killing intent slowly crawled its way towards everyone present from Aurora. Like a heavy and sticky substance it adhered to everyone present making them feel extremely uncomfortable, but the worst part was yet to come.

All this time Aurora had her head down. She had been trying her best to contain her anger. Ever since that man mentioned marriage with Lilith her heart boiled with an uncontrollable rage. It had subsided when Lilith had flat out rejected him but as soon as the man started talking again her anger grew until she couldn’t take it anymore.

Now she lifted her head, her once brown eyes shining gold. She could feel how her body was fighting against her reason to transform. Her nails slowly grew into claws and her teeth sharpened. Hatred adorned her expression and when her eyes met those of the man her killing intent rose even more. The temperature of the room seemed to rise to a boiling hot. Those present had a hard time trying to breathe like the air was burning their lungs.

However, that wasn’t all. At this moment Lilith understood a few things. First, she understood how Aurora was feeling, after all she began feeling the same. Why? you may ask. That is because she came to the conclusion that; that stupid man was about to propose mariage to Aurora as well.

Not long after the heat wave caused by Aurora’s murderous aura enveloped those present a new wave hit them. Uncle the last one this one was chilling to the bone. This was due to Lilith’s murderous aura. Aurora’s aura which felt like an erupting volcano danced alongside Lilith’s Blizzard like aura. At that moment those present felt like they were in the middle of a cataclysm.

The one who had it worse was Eldric. All of this killing intent was directed at him making it ten times worse for him. In that moment, Eldric felt like he had stood the tails of two dragons, one of fire and the other of frost. Worst of all, that wasn’t all! Feeling Lilith’s hatred for Mia as well as Shadow, Silver and Sapphire also became extremely hostile towards Eldric. The aura and killing intent of all of them combined was comparable to that of an S ranked monster, albeit a rather weak one.

No one present was above the B rank except for Eldric. Because of this none of them were strong enough to withstand such monstrous pressure. If it had been directed at any of them on purpose they might actually die. Thankfully, it was directed at Eldric who froze as everyone else around fainted.

“What the hell is going on here”

At that moment a thunderous voice boomed through the guild’s hall. A man over two meters tall with a sword larger than him strode in prepared for battle. What his eyes saw made him doubt his sanity. In his guild hall a Nightmare panther, a Steel fenrir and Blue Phoenix had appeared. That’s right, all three of them had turned back to their original forms but that wasn’t all. The guild master didn’t feel the biggest threat from those three but rather from the humanoid looking wolf and strange girl that stood in front of them.

Both Lilith and Aurora became blinded by anger. If either of them had been calm they could appease the other before anything could happen. However, Eldric had enraged both of them, an action he would regret and pay for dearly.
