บท 737: Aftermath Of The Invasion

"WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!"

Thunderous cheers echoed in the air as Maria descended from her high estate, cradling Stefan as she landed.

The Beastfolks were in a joyous mood, as they all worshipped the power she displayed with reverence. Their eyes no longer saw a human girl. No, they saw someone even more impressive than a true warrior.

What they witnessed was the act of a god.

"You did it, Maria." Elrich Lendertwale approached her with a smile. "Even I can't believe it."

Maria undid her transformation, reverting into the sixteen-year-old human girl with regular—albeit beautiful—features.

Groans could be heard from the Beastfolk audience, who would have preferred her to remain in the form of a goddess. Now, things had become too awkward.

"It wasn't me. I had help. My Familiar… she helped me."

"Yeah, I understand that—"

"No. She really did. I don't know how and why, but…" Maria stumbled back due to exhaustion, and she almost fell to the ground as a result.
