Splash!

The blood that had previously been inside the monster's body splattered out onto the ground the moment the last of its heads left its body.

Now that the monster was dead, there was silence in the clearing with only the sound of harsh pants left as Dominique finished severing the last of the monster's heads from its body.

Before he did anything else, he kept the few of the heads of the monster as a gift for his boss as proof that he had avenged him. He was sure that the boss would praise him again this time!

The Sin stabbed his sword into the ground, using it to prop himself up as he caught his breath.

His magic was still bleeding of the bloodlust that he'd been using to keep himself afloat during battle.

His energy was completely depleted now that he was out of battle.

The adrenaline that had been pumping through his veins was long gone, leaving him bereft and almost cold in a way.

The blood-hot adrenaline cooled significantly now that the monster was no longer alive in front of him.

His breathing came out in harsh pants, the only sound left in the clearing, the silence almost seemed to ring as he came out from the hyper concentrated state that he'd been previously.

That had been foolish, having such tunnel vision.

Dominique frowned. That hadn't been his intention, but it was done, and there was no crying over spilt milk.

No monsters nor creatures had dared to come near as the two battled harshly with each other, having been scared off by the power and sounds that were coming from the clearing.

It was for the better, for they would have been instantly obliterated by either Dominique or the monster before the two continued their battle with each other.

It had taken more than six hours for Dominique to emerge victorious in his harsh battle with the rank five monster.

But the grin on his face was something more breath-taking than usual. The only time his smile was ever remotely like this was when Alec praised him.

The Sin was breathing harshly, and it almost felt like there wasn't a single unbroken bone in his body.

Dominique collapsed back on the ground with a laugh, a grin on his face.

The satisfaction that coursed through his body was something that he had not felt in such a long time.

Despite the aches and pains that plagued his body, Dominique had never felt lighter than right now.

Without any worry about anything coming near at this moment, Dominique's eyes immediately slid shut, leaving Bunbun and Fenrir to defend the foolish human who hadn't even looked at them once throughout the entire battle.

This part of this foolish human was very much like their master. Or were all humans the same? They couldn't tell.

Alec didn't like to look for help either, even when he could coordinate with them perfectly well.

Most of the time, his familiars had to join in the battle as support by themselves, using their own brains to calculate and perform to their best.


The two familiars watched over the silly human, savaging any monsters or creatures that approached quickly and efficiently.

With both of them taking turns to watch over the human, they were able to make sure that he remained undisturbed as his body went through changes.

Both familiars were able to tap into their master's talents and look at the magic that was undergoing change in front of them with curious eyes.

They could feel that the human would be a lot stronger after this.

Strong enough that they no longer needed to subtly help him out later on.

-Author only posts on w.e.b.n.o.v.e.l.-

Dominique's eyes snapped open without warning, startling the bunny that had been staring at his face.

Bunbun topped over in shock, causing the Sin to smirk at the familiar's predicament.

Dominique leapt up, his body coursing with more power than before.

Never before had this much pure unadulterated magic run through his veins, and he instinctively knew that he had broken through to the Meister stage.

He couldn't help but marvel at the visceral change that his body had gone through in the time that he'd passed out.

Flexing, he spread his magic out, and the control he had over it was leagues ahead than what it was before it.

Not only was there more now, he was more in tune with it.

If he wished, he could even hide it so deeply that he appeared just like a normal civilian rather than someone actively practicing their magic.

It seemed like managing to kill of the rank five monster that had hurt his boss had been the last push he needed in order to break through.

Dominique smirked. Truly, everything related to his boss was great.

Then, he frowned the slightest amount when he realized that a lot of filthy things had been ejected out of his body during the process, leaving him filthy and dirty.

If he didn't care so much about what his boss might think of him if he showed up in front of him like this, he might even have forgone his discomfort and went on to find his boss.

The boss was so close, yet so far!

Frowning harder, Dominique quickly made his way to a river nearby and cleaned himself up, much to the two familiar's relief.

It truly hadn't been easy guarding the foolish human that grew progressively smelly as the time went by.

Towards the end, they didn't even have to fend off any monsters or creatures, with how repulsed they were at the smell that came from the human.

Small mercies, that.

By the time he was done, the entire river had turned black, before slowly being washed away downstream.

If there had been any elders that had passed into the Meister stage that saw it, they would have been shocked.

This meant that the person's advancement to Meister was on a grand scale. Compared to most people that only passed through painstakingly, Dominique had passed through perfectly.

Just by judging the amount of impurities that had been forced out from the body, it would indicate how much further they could go in the future.

Compared to some of them that had passed through with almost brute force, Dominique's had been natural and almost effortless.

It would have shocked countless Meisters, as well as Grand Meisters, even.

Whether they wanted to nip a bud before it bloomed or recruit him over to their side remained to be seen, but it was an achievement that could be called worthy of a Main Character.

Now that he was clean, he quickly picked up the trace of his boss again and was startled when he realized that the boss had passed through here.

In fact, he had been so close before the fight with the rank five monster that Dominique felt cross with himself for missing it in the first place.

He could have had the boss watch him as he avenged him!

Ah, what a mistake!

Dominique hopped into the hole on the ground, then felt a spike of anger when he thought again that the rank five monster had been trying to chase his boss when Dominique had engaged it.

Then, he felt a spike of satisfaction knowing that he had stopped the damnable monster before it got into its empty head that it should go after his boss.

The bottom of the hole he dropped into was dark, but after having advanced to the Meister rank, he was able to see perfectly fine in the dark.

Or rather, he could make out where there were walls or objects in the way.

It wasn't so much sight as seeing a faint outline. It was rather useful.

Dominique quickly shook off the chill that seemed to settle in the air, trudging forward towards his boss' location.

He was so close that he could practically taste it.
