While flying with Kaisel they soon flew across an abandoned town and saw it infested with bandits.
Cid didn't even have to push Alpha or Beta this time since both girls just jumped off on their own free will.
And as soon as they landed they started walking sensually towards the bandits that were looking at them with lust in their eyes.
A bandit then licked his lips as he looked at them and said "Although their small, I bet I could still find good uses for them"
Alpha and Beta just looked at them in disgust.
Another bandit then called out to them "Why don't you girls join us for some fun, I bet I can rock your worlds with a night with me"
Another bandit then yelled "HEY BOSS, SOME FRESH MEAT APPEARED AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEY COULD SELL VERY WELL"
Soon a rugged sounding man was then heard "HAHAHAHA THAT'S GREAT, WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THE ONE WE RECENTLY CAUGHT DUE TO THE ROTTING SKIN ALL AROUND IT"
A buff looking guy then came out from a building with a big sword in his hands.
As soon as they heard there's someone with rotting skin being held captive both Alpha and Beta just looked at each other and nodded.
Alpha summoned a blade in her hands and sprinted towards the boss while Beta just closed her eyes and held out her hand, soon she started to gather slime in her hands
She then squished the slime in her hand which caused it to take the form of a bow. She then started to gather mana in her eyes making her vision better and as she pulled the string of the bow an arrow made out of slime soon form
The bandits then started sneering at them both for their foolishness as the boss then ran towards Alpha and when their sword met Alpha was sent flying due to their size difference which caused her to click her tongue
Bandits then started running towards Beta with their swords in their hands. Beta seeing then coming shot her arrow towards the bandit closer to her
The bandit seeing this just sneered and swung his sword ready to knock it off its course, he didn't even add magic thinking that it was useless which was a mistake on his part
as soon as the arrow made contact with the sword the sword was then destroyed, leaving the bandit in shock as the arrow then went right through his head and into the head of the bandit right behind him
Killing two people with one shot and as soon as the arrow got lodged inside the head of the second bandit it started to turn back into goo.
Alpha as she was thrown just flipped herself in the air and landed safely and shot off towards the boss once again
The boss seeing Alpha commiting the same mistake again just sneered at her and thought 'Foolish girl, it didn't work the first time why would it work the second time.'
He then swung his sword with a downwards strike towards Alpha but instead of confronting him head on Alpha simply sidestep and turned her sword into a spear and thrusted it right into his chest and into his heart
And with a stun expression he just muttered "Wha" as blood soon started to overflow from his mouth and he collapse on the ground still in shock.
That was the price he paid for underestimating the girl due to her age.
Alpha then turned her spear into a sword once again and sprinted towards the other members of the bandits crew amputating all of their limbs
She was then joined by Beta who started doing the same and by the end of it they both flicked their sword clearing it from any blood on the blade.
Cid then came walking with his hands in his pockets and when he arrived infront of them he patted both of their head and said "Good Job" which caused them to smile slightly.
Cid then went towards the building where the boss came out of and inside he found a girl with blacken skin inside a cage all chained up.
Luckily there are bad premonitions towards the possessed or who knew what kind of abuse other then physical abuse they would have gotten.
Cid then knelt down towards the cage and as he grabbed it he yanked it completely destroying the front part of it.
Cid then destroyed the chains holding her, which was followed by Cid putting a hand on the 'Possessed' body. His hand then turned slightly green as he started to cure the little girl little by little.
Soon a cute girl with dark blue hair was seen sitting down on the floor naked while looking towards Cid with teary eyes she then started to sob uncontrollably
"Thank *hic* you, I *hic don't know *hic how I could ever repay you for healing me *hic*"
Cid then gave her a reassuring smile and said while extending his hand "You could do that by joining me" and as the girl took a hold of his hand he said "From now on you shall be known as Gamma, welcome to Shadow Garden".
Cid as soon as he named her wrapped her in her very own slime suit.
And with that they exited the building, and as they walked out he said "Alpha explain to Gamma about the detail of our Organization"
Alpha then nodded and said "Of course master. Well you see...." With that Alpha started her usual lecture about the Diabolos Cult and their evil doings
When she was finished Gamma just stood there in shock and said "And to think our leader has been fighting such an organization all by himself" Gamma then started to create her own narrative in her head about Cid's entire existence.
Alpha then leaned over and whispered to her ear "We don't call him leader we call him master shadow"
Gamma then leaned towards Alpha and asked whispering "why"
It was Beta who answered whispering as well "Because he is known as the Shadow Monarch, the Supreme Ruler of the Shadows. Where not even the dead are spared from his clutches"
Gamma then gained stars in her eyes and in a hushed voice said "I don't really get it, but that sounds so cool"
Cid just smiled while listening to them with his heightened senses and wanting to show off a bit to their new member he said "Come Forth and Serve"
Which caused beings made out of shadows to come out of the bodies of the dead and kneel down expressing their loyalty.
Cid then quickly call them to his shadow as he just smirked to himself
Meanwhile Beta walked behind Gamma and reiterated "Not even the dead are spared from his clutches"
Gamma then just had a look of disbelieve on her face and turned to look at Beta and Alpha who were giving her a teasing smirk.
She then whispered to herself "Master Shadow is just too awesome"
And with that they left the abandoned town with Gamma officially joining Shadow Garden.
~Omni pov~
It's been a month since Gamma has officially joined and she can be seen tumbling on the floor with a blindfold on her face
Cid looking at her just put a hand on his face and sighed in exasperation.
While Alpha and Beta also had blindfold and were running around in a obstacle course Cid had created using a bit of Earth magic.
Normally Cid won't have such a reaction when someone failed at the obstacle course since it was normal since they couldn't really see but...
Gamma didn't even leave the starting line
Cid then tried to give Gamma a hint by shouting at them "Remember try to get a feeling to your surroundings using your magic. It will help heightened your senses and make them more sensitive"
Sighing he then decided to single out Gamma "Gamma you don't have to rush just one step at a time, there is no time limit. Alpha and Beta are just competitive so you shouldn't be drag on by their flow"
Gamma just nodded as she took one step at a time until she started to get confident which caused her to trip once again when she made it towards the first obstacle.
Seeing Gamma look at the ground sadly Cid just had a soft expression on his face and shook his head with a small smile and to encourage her he started clapping and said "You made it quite far this time. See, you keep getting better after each practice."
Gamma then gained a happy expression and pumped both of her fist in excitement. And got right back up and started the course again but with more determination.
And that's how they spent the rest of the day. Seeing that it was late in the afternoon he said to them "Today you're going to be walking through the forest with the blindfold on. It could be a little trip and also some light training where you all could relax"
And with that they started on their journey...
Cid has made them carry a bag with some heavy weights that weigh 1 ton on each of their backs and made them start walking towards the west in a slow manner and as they walk they started talking to each other and growing closer.
While the walk Cid has to keep grabbing Gamma and moving her towards a specific direction otherwise she would have been lost.
But Gamma was slowly learning, although she sucked with things that had to do with anything physically, her magic senses were coming along just nice although it wasn't the best, she was getting somewhere.
They continued walking until it was night out which Cid then decided to give them a break "You can take off the blindfolds and Backpack we're going camping today."
And as they threw their bag on the ground, the ground slightly caved in due to the weights. They then let out a sigh of relief.
"We got to find wood and go hunting for food and you are forbidden to use any magic."
And with a sigh they soon started searching the forest for anything that could be of use, fruits, berry mushrooms, anything that's edible. Alpha then soon found some footprints on the ground, she then called out to everyone "I think I found something"
And with that everyone soon started following right behind Alpha with slow careful steps...
~Pov switch: ?????~
The hunt... The hunt will keep me alive, the hunt will lead me to survival...
I am the strongest, everyone else is the weak, they couldn't beat me.
*Sniff* *sniff*
"Prey" ????? Growled.
"Food, Food, Food" ????? Kept muttering following the smell.
"I don't need the pack. I'm super strong without it all I need is food and I'll recover, the prey is the key to survival" ????? Kept growling as she followed the smelled.
"My mouth is already watering, i could already smell it. The prey, it will keep me alive and make me stronger to stop the black spots from spreading.
It hurts, but the hunt mustn't stop
It hurt, it hurts, it hurts, but mustn't stop
Keep hunting.
Don't
Stop
Hunting
~Omni pov~
????? Even with her body almost about to collapse due to 'Demon Possession' she kept moving on and didn't stop, as she believes that the hunt is the way to survive.
As the daughter of a low rank concubine and a chief who had over a hundred wife's, She wasn't giving proper meals only low amount of portions which wasn't enough to sustain her
She decided that since she wasn't getting proper food she should just get it herself and so she went hunting and when she did, it was unexpectedly easy for her she managed to kill a boar twice her size
And eat every part of it greedily savoring every drop of blood. And that was only when she was 3 years old even her clansman were surprised and such an unexpected thing.
The more she grew and fought the stronger she got and that was all thanks to the hunt, which has solidify itself into something very important to ????? Since it's thanks to the hunt that has kept her alive since she was little
That was unfortunately until she had contracted "Demon Possession".
Due to the strict rules of her tribe any being caught with such a disease would be immediately exiled and hunted down.
Due to her experience she was able to hide and escape the pursuit but by that point her body was already weaken. Which is why she believes the only way to survive is to hunt.
At this point its hard to just walk much alone hunt so with her great willpower she started crawling on the floor searching for any prey to feast on. She then heard a voice
It was Alpha..
"It looks like you could use some help" said Alpha as she reached out her hand to try and heal her like her master once showed her.
And as she reached out her hand ????? Tried to take a bite out of her hand for getting too close
'Prey!!!, I can still hunt' ????? Thought and tried moving once again.
Alpha seeing such determination on a being plagued by "Demon Possession" even though it was close to dying was quite a shock to Alpha.
She then sighed and called out "Master I think I need your help with this one."
As soon as Cid came into view every fiber of ????? Being told her just one thing "Submit or Die"
And as a wolf beast kin with a great pride she did the only thing she knew... roll over and show her stomach in submission. As a wolf beast kin it's in her instinct to submit to the strong especially one far above you in terms of power.
But Cid was just in a whole other level to ????? There was no other option but to submit to him and become a part of his pack.
Cid seeing her show her belly just softly chuckle as he put a hand on her belly and started to heal her.
Alpha was also to the side trying to help and started to treat her.
Once Cid was done he then said "From now on you shall be known as Delta"
The wolf girl then pointed to herself and said "Del-ta?"
Cid just nodded which made Delta nod as well and say with a big smile "Since Boss man said Delta is now named Delta, then Delta shall be Delta"
She then pointed towards Alpha "You, you're probably his second in command, but you're too weak, so I'll be his second in command from now on" she said with a satisfied expression.
Alpha's eyes then grew cold as she raised her magic power and said in a cold voice "Care to repeat that one more time?"
Delta then started to release some pressure on her own and said "I challenge you for the rights to be his second in command."
