I made a ball of light. It floated over my head.
"You can use light magic? I thought you could only use water-"
Was being able to use more types more rare than holy? I didn't know but this girl probably didn't know how rare holy even was. Or maybe it was just a thing for the rest of the world but not the demi-humans.
"Don't worry about it." I didn't have time to explain anything or hide my powers either. When it came to monsters in forests, there was no point in holding back.
After all, I didn't need another tragedy now.
Our surroundings got a bit brighter but this also meant the thing spying on us could see us better.
And the thing didn't disappoint: there was a black shadow on the top of the tree in front of us. It jumped from the tree and directly went for the princess. She and the horse shrieked but I kind of slammed the holy ball on the monster and calmed the horse down. The whole thing lasted for three seconds.
Yes, I'm aware that the pace has slowed down but I didn't want to rush too much. But because of that sentiment, this has dragged on.
From here on out, I'll try to increase the pacing a little. It's kind of hard to maintain daily releases though.
