'You bastard! So you're here all this ti, huh?!' Zeth raged, continuously firing blasts at the pegasus while sohow managing to communicate with it telepathically.
'Hey! Calm down!' the mythical creature responded, dodging the blasts with graceful aerial maneuvers.
Unfortunately for the creature, Zeth was relentless in her pursuit, unleashing a relentless barrage of blue-flaming projectiles one after another.
Despite being slowly left behind, Shye could sohow hear Zeth's words, and he was confused.
Based on his familiar's words, it seed she knew the pegasus and was speaking to it with a hint of anger.
This only heightened his anxiety.
If Zeth and the pegasus had an unresolved blood feud from the past, he needed to reach the scene of the battle as quickly as possible.
Shye felt it was a waste to summon his [Fallen's Wings] just to catch up.
However, he had no choice.
He couldn't let Zeth face a mythical creature alone, especially after sowhat neglecting her growth over the past few months.
The next mont, a pair of black, translucent mana wings appeared on his back, increasing his movent speed significantly.
With each mighty flap, he slowly closed the distance.
Only, he hadn't anticipated the next words the duchess would telepathically convey to the pegasus.
"Calm down?! How can I calm down after seeing your hateful face?!" Zeth roared, utterly surprising Shye, who had never heard her lose control of her emotions since their master-familiar bond was established.
"I've spent over a century and a half searching for you in Gomparo, only to find out you've been here all along?! What happened to our vows? Just because I turned into a notorious rogue in our world, you chose to abandon ?! You... you traitorous fiend! You deserve to die! Only your death will soothe my rage!"
Shye couldn't help but swallow after hearing her words.
"V-Vows? What vows?! Are they actually…"
Shye's suspicions were quickly confird when he finally reached them.
He saw the pegasus with a panicked expression, not even daring to retaliate against Zeth's attacks.
Yes…
The scene looked unmistakably like a lovers' quarrel.
At this mont, Shye's worries shifted from Zeth's well-being to the pegasus'
Based on how angry his familiar was, it seed that the mythical creature f*cked up big ti.
'Dear! P-Please hear out!'
'You dare call that?! Hear your damned self out! As for , I'll take you out!'
'I-I've been trying to find a way back to our world! I swear! You have to believe ! I even managed to return for brief monts in the past!'
'Oh? So, you found a way back but didn't have the courage to face ? Tell , are you even a stallion?!'
'I did try! But I was forced out of Gomparo after only a few hours! That wasn't nearly enough ti to find you!'
'Enough! I don't want to hear more of your pathetic excuses! Face your doom!'
Shye couldn't believe the cartoonish scene playing out in front of him.
The Pegasus, a powerful mythical creature, pathetically continued to flee as his familiar spirit pursued it.
Realizing that ti was ticking, Shye forcefully shook his head and gave himself a few light slaps to snap himself out of his disbelief.
He then quickly intervened.
'Z-Zeth!' he called out to his familiar telepathically.
Naturally, even though she was consud by rage, the duchess didn't dare disregard her master.
'You called, master?' she responded, montarily pausing her fierce assault. 'First, I apologize for not following your orders. May I ask why you're here? Is it wise to leave Lady Shirley and the little imp to face those two overlords?'
'A-About that, they need our help…so…c-can you wrap things up here as quickly as possible?' Shye replied, hoping for Zeth to forgive the white stallion.
After all, with its assistance, the challenge of subduing both the Manticore and the Fire Dragon Emperor would be significantly reduced.
Zeth smiled upon hearing his master's words, causing Shye to breathe a sigh of relief.
Only, he didn't expect that his familiar misunderstood his words.
'Of course, master,' she replied respectfully. 'As you command, I will rid us of this filthy white steed in just a few more seconds.'
The next mont, her aura surged, seemingly channeling her mana to unleash one powerful attack.
'M-My love! Please! At least hear out!' the pegasus pleaded in horror.
It couldn't believe that his beloved partner would be directing one of her strongest abilities at him.
Shye, of course, was just as horrified.
This was not what he ant!
'Z-ZETH! NO! I ANT, COULD YOU AT LEAST TALK IT OUT WITH HIM?!'
At her master's words, the cold expression on the duchess' face faded, replaced by confusion.
'Hmm? But didn't you order to wrap things up, master? Also, with all due respect, I don't want to talk to this bastard.'
The pegasus couldn't hear Zeth's thoughts unless she directly relayed them to him.
However, upon realizing that his beloved was communicating with the human, the white stallion seized the opportunity to fly over and land near Shye.
The Pegasus was, after all, extrely smart.
It understood that since Zeth was a familiar spirit, she could only leave Gomparo when summoned by a human and bound as their familiar.
This made it clear that Shye was the master of his beloved.
What safer place could there be than beside Zeth's master, especially since she would never harm him?
After all, if her master were to die, she would have no choice but to return to Gomparo.
'Dear! Please, give a chance to explain!'
'Z-Zeth, please at least give it a chance to explain!'
Naturally, with both her master and the stallion she had once loved pleading with her, the duchess could only sigh, though her anger toward the pegasus remained intense.
Her burning rage was understandable, though, as it had been a little over a hundred and fifty years since they last t.
Her heart had long yearned for this mont.
Yet, when she was finally reunited with her beloved, anger overwheld her.
As the years passed, the belief that she had been abandoned gradually turned into her painful reality.
'Fine, then. Consider yourself lucky that my master is giving your traitorous self a chance to explain,' the duchess replied coldly. 'Now speak, and don't even think about lying. If it's you, I'll detect any falsehoods with ease.'
