Radugro heard the commotion outside of his room and immediately ran to the door, opening to find chaos unfold.

Dozens of his subordinates were lying on the floor unconscious, while others were being hopelessly beaten to almost death by a group of mysterious demi-humans, and another group was being ravaged by elemental magic conjured by floating ghosts of various colors… it was truly a sight to behold.

"W-What is going on in here?!

" roared Radugro, as he released his Aura, generating a roar that made his invaders notice his presence.

"Oh, that's the leader, Radugro,

" said Ervas.

"I see, should we beat him?

" asked Veronica.

"We'll brainwash him… It is better than killing him…

" said Ervas.

"Alright you go capture him then, I am dealing with all these mobs, it feels nice to throw them away with a swipe of my hands- Oops, someone died again,

" said Veronica, as she glanced at one of the thugs have its skull crushed when she threw him away and fell into the ground headfirst.

"A bit of casualty is expected, but as long as we leave most of them alive, it's good,

" said Ervas.

"Got it,

" said Veronica, as she called upon Shade and Ozgeth, who helped her generate countless Shadow Tentacles, catching the thugs one by one!

"This is quite the easy work… although I didn't expect you to call us to do such a thing,

" said Shade.

"I guess our lady's priorities have changed, now she wants to become the strongest Underworld Organization Leader! The Black Order sounds like a good name as well!

" said Ozgeth, who used to be a giant and grotesque gazer, after ranking up a lot, he became a monstrous ghost of the dark side of the light attribute, a shadow ghost, whose body was now over three meters tall, made almost entirely out of shadows and dark tentacles, with a giant crimson eye on the middle and large jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth!

"I don't know what to think about that!

" said Shade, seemingly a bit annoyed to be used to just beat some weaklings.

Meanwhile, the rest of the party, such as Lilith and her sisters, Kireina, Ditoyle, Anna, Ismene, Gaius, Azra, Alesia, Leonidas, Desephise, and Jason ravaged the enemy side, being gentle enough to not kill them but to strike them unconscious.

Radugro glanced at his lackeys falling unconscious one by one, as his anger increased!

His eye glowed with eerie crimson light, and more hair began to grow over his body, alongside his face, which began to shapeshift into that of the head of a wolf!

"Beast Transformation!!! I am going to **ing kill all of you!

" roared Radugro, darting towards the nearest enemy, however, a smaller figure wearing black clothes that seemed to make him look like a little duke of the night emerged, wearing a black mask that covered his eyes above his nose, he seemed mysterious and rather… funny-looking for being so small.

"Get off my way shrimp!

" roared Radugro, trying to throw Ervas away with a single swipe of his monstrous claws!

CLASH!

However, Radugro did not felt like the hit did much, as the 'shrimp' was not sent away.

In fact, he felt like he hit an incredibly solid, invisible wall!

"EH?!

"

"Psychokinesis Barrier… nothing much, it should be enough to deal with you,

" said Ervas.

"W-What?! Psycho- what?! What kind of power is that?! Magic… I've never seen completely transparent magic before!

" said Radugro, roaring in anger as his entire body was shrouded in his overwhelming aura!

"Oh, it seems that if you get angry your power rises a bit more… Limit Breakthrough perhaps… Wait, already? If you overuse that you will die,

" said Ervas, as Radugro roared like a crazed wolf!

"Awwwooooo…! I am going to break you apart, shrimp!

" roared Radugro, pouncing towards Ervas' barrier and suddenly, breaking it apart with enormous sheer strength!

"Hm, so you can break that…

" said Ervas, completely calm as the claws of Radugro reached him!

CLASH!

"Another barrier?! …No! This…!

" muttered Radugro, as he realized that what stopped him was… Ervas himself!

His small hand was tightly grabbing his enormous and muscular arm like nothing!

"Y-You…!

"

Radugro quickly realized that Ervas appearance had changed a bit, as he found out that he was of a Beast-kin race similar to him, a Gray Wolf-kin Beast-man! He had also used the Beast Transformation Skill, as his body was covered in gray fur and his claws grew larger!

…However, he still looked small and adorable!

It was unthinkable for someone of this appearance to even fathom to fight against a powerhouse such as Radugro!

Yet… Ervas Strength Stat was perhaps two times that of Radugro, his little claws were strong enough to begin cracking Radugro's wrist!

"As a fellow wolf beast-kin, I should fight you in equal terms,

" said Ervas with a mild smile.

"F-Fellow?! You filthy gray wolf! You kin cannot be compared to us black wolves! DIE!

" roared Radugro, as his other claw reached Ervas!

CLASH!

Ervas freed Radugro's cracked wrist and caught the other claw with a technique of his own.

"Phantom Claw,

" he said, as he clashed against Radugro's Unarmed Fighting Techniques, coating his claws into phantom!

Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!

Ervas was incredibly calm, intercepting each of Radugro's attacks with incredible precision!

Radugro poured his soul into his attacks, his claws coated on his mana and aura, unleashing powerful techniques that had always obliterated his foes, sometimes even bigger than himself!

Yet, he was fighting against someone that was perhaps half his size or lower… and he was calmly receiving all of his full power?!

"Impossible! How is it possible for this little pup to be able to fight in equal terms against my barrage?! Just… who is he?!

" thought Radugro, as cold sweat began to drip from his neck and forehead, fear began to take ahold of his mind as the glowing crimson eyes of Ervas seemed to stare directly into his soul!

"This is becoming rather boring…

" said Ervas, as he raised his leg, and kicked Radugro's chin with it, sending him straight towards the ceiling!

BOOM!

"UNGRRAAAHH…!

"

Radugro vomited a mouthful of blood, as he began to fall back to Ervas!

"TCH…! I AM NOT GOING TO LOSE!

" roared Radugro, roaring fiercely as he fell like a meteor towards Ervas!

Ervas jumped gently into the ground, flying upwards like a cannon, and reaching Radugro in no time!

"Do your best,

" said Ervas, as Radugro took that as a taunt!

"GRRAAAAAAHH…! Bloodshed Claws! Deadly Pounce! Beastly Charge!

" roared Radugro, using several techniques at the same time, he coated his claws on his own blood dripping from his mouth, unleashing powerful, crimson-colored slashing attacks that seemed to break through the air!

By using Deadly pounce and Beastly Charge, Radugro reached Ervas in a millisecond, unleashing the barrage of attacks!

Clash! Clash! Clash!

Ervas took a few hits head on, using his own claws and legs to intercept them, moving at a speed that Radugro could barely sense!

"T-This kid…! He's taking all of my attacks head on and using his own claws to shield against them! Such… amazing fighting talent… and he's so young!

" thought Radugro, he couldn't simply help but admire Ervas amazing display of beastly and fighting capabilities!

Ervas' attacks suddenly reached Radugro, as he felt his claws seeping into his enormous muscles like a hot knife through butter, his blood flowed out of his flesh like a mountain, and the pain made him almost dizzy!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

"GRRAAAAAKKHH…!

"

Radugro roared in pain, but he gnashed his teeth, glancing back at Ervas with furious fervency!

"GRRUUUUAAAAAHRRRHHH…!

"

Like a wild dog fighting for survival, Radugro used his monstrous wolf-like jaws to reach Ervas, trying to bite his head off with enormous strength and speed!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

However, Ervas evaded them without any second of delay or problem at all, and through this entire ordeal, he has not even sweat at all!

"H-He's evading my trump card, my powerful bite, like nothing at all! JUST WHO IS HE?!

" thought Radugro, as he suddenly saw Ervas approach him without him even realizing it!

"A-Ah…!

"

"Let me go a bit serious as well,

" said Ervas, coating his entire body on his Phantasmal Aura, and unleashing an enormous barrage of fist and kick attacks, breaking through Radugro's entire body, breaking his bones, and demolishing his body!

"UUUNNGRRRRRYYAAAAAAAAAA…!

"

Flash!

"Good night,

" said Ervas, moving near Radugro's head and striking it into the ground!

BOOM!

Radugro was… knocked out!

Seeing their boss completely knocked out, the subordinates of Radugro could not help but drop their weapons in hopelessness.

Radugro was knocked out with his tongue out of his mouth, as he slowly morphed back to his original appearance, and his bones and muscles seemed rather crushed.

"I might have gone a bit overboard, I really thought he could take it all… Healing Touch,

" sighed Ervas, as he healed Radugro's entire body within seconds, his muscles and bones cracked back to their original shapes, saving them man from sure death!

"We are done in here it seems,

" said Veronica.

"Indeed, we can finally rest a bit,

" said Ismene.

"Not like you did that much…

" said Anna.

"H-Hey! I worked very hard…

" said Ismene, who had simply used Binding Spells to entrap thugs without breaking a sweat.

"Ervas-sama, what shall we do with this man?

" asked Lilith.

"For now, let us get them inside of Veronica's soul. We can interrogate them there and perhaps convince them to work for us without having to brainwash them, it is the last resort I want to use,

" said Ervas.

"Indeed, let us just do that. Radugro seemed oddly fascinated with your fighting moves, so maybe you'll get a new admirer or something?

" asked Veronica teasingly.

"Yeah Ervas, you showed off a lot, you impressed the guy!

" laughed Kireina.

"I-Is that so?

" muttered Ervas, fearing that he would have a two-meter-tall wolfman following him around like a puppy very soon.
