The Fate X Dungeon
Ch#05 - The person I chose as my Master

Ah, that obnoxious man had actually been decapitated. It must be bad karma that he had to accept.

I watched his head fall to the ground, just shut up. To me he's just a foreign man who happens to call me. We weren't that close until I could feel strong emotions over his passing.

However, for some reason something I felt uncomfortable began to grow in my heart. It was this feeling that made it difficult for me to turn my eyes away, looking at the body of the man who had lost his head.

This is the first time, I came to the upper world after being summoned by someone. I feel confident in my appearance, and I feel confident that my beauty is not inferior to my brothers. However, in front of the man, all my confidence, and my pride just fell.

“Oh, so it seems. Because I no longer have the opportunity to reply to his irritating attitude, I became a little upset.” I mumbled softly on my own.

I was overwhelmed by this unusual feeling. Unknowingly, someone was standing behind me, holding a knife to my neck.

“Miss, if you don't want this knife to tear your throat, you better break it and don't act stupid.” said the man standing behind me.

Even though he threatened me, there was nothing to fear. We are creatures of the underworld, do not come to the surface wearing our real bodies. I will not die as long as my true body is still in the underworld.

Instead of caring about this kind of small threat, I noticed Finn putting the sword back on his waist. Of all the people in his group, Finn seems to be the most powerful.

At that time, another woman in the group other than the Elf, that was the woman wearing priest clothes. Walked hurriedly towards Finn.

“Finn, are you okay?” ask the woman to worry.

“No need to worry, Ann.”

Finn smiled gently, reassuring the woman named Ann. I can guess what relationship the two have.

“Finn right Ann. We know he's the most 'horrible' here? I'm sure that person also didn't expect to die that easily by him.”

“True once, Hard. The greatness of the chairman was indeed no doubt, his level could already match Ecaterina the Sword Princess. Hahaha.”.

The two Finn colleagues also began to talk casually, realizing that there was no more threat around him.

“Oh, yes... What about Succubus over there? I am still interested in making it as my subordinate.” said the witch named Keel added.

The lustful gaze of hers I could feel when she smirked at me. I'm sure he's the kind of depraved guy he should be.

“Creating a contract with the demon race raises a lot of problems for the future, but because he can be useful as our guide in this place. I'll give you that succubus, Keel. Make him work for us!!”

As soon as he heard the words from the leader of his group, Keel's face flashed an even more disgusting smile.

Looks like I will be forced to make a contract with this man. If you look at it from the perspective of a succubus, it has nothing to lose at all. It would be even more beneficial if he was willing to become my master, given that this man seemed to want my body so badly.

Men who are very thirsty for lust and sexual satisfaction are perfect for Succubus, that is the fact. However, somehow there is a part of me that desperately wants to refuse him to become my master.

“Fuck you Erza. After dragging me up into the upper world, you died instead. At least let me return your bad behavior to me.” I unconsciously grumbled to Erza, who is clearly gone.

When I clenched my hand tightly, I realized an object I had carried in my hand since then.

A small glass bottle that fits in the hand contains a potion that until now I have not clearly known, what is actually contained in it.

“For what is such an obscure talk, Miss? I can kill you anytime, so don't think of fighting!” said the man who threatened me earlier, giving me a warning.

“Don't kill him, Hida! Let Keel take care of it.”

“Understanding!”

Finn's orders were answered quickly by Hida's. Then I saw the depraved witch, Keel, start walking closer to me.

“Hehehe, I have to thank the chairman. I can't wait to see 'your greatness' at night. The reason why the man's face looks lethargic is because you don't allow him to sleep at night, right?”

Hearing those words, I immediately clicked the corner of my lips.

“Sigh, I'm not sure that man wants me as a woman. Really annoying!” with a clear sentence, my words are hard to hear by anyone.

I don't know what got into me, but I'm really upset right now. I feel like I want him to rise from his death, so that I can tell him as much as my heart.

Although it is not clear what kind of man you are, how could you just die? You bastard Erza!!

While I was still busy with Erza in my heart, Keel had already started drawing magic circles to make a contract with me.

“Before I never managed to call succubus, but to renew the contract of a summoned creature, it was very easy for me.”

You lowly witch, you think I'd like to make a contract with you. Don't hope.

That time, before I started to act detached. Surprising things happen in an instant. I had unwittingly exchanged positions with the priestesses in Finn's group, named Ann. The irritated feeling inside me, turned into confusion because of that.

“““Hah?!”””

“That woman, I found her first. You little thieves don't take my men.”

My eyes were wide open to the existence of the man I had just met not even that day, the voice was really his. I don't get it wrong, the man who should have been decapitated before, stood there without one less thing.

“Erza, you..?!” I screamed as I found myself standing there, not far from me. His facial water seemed calm and showed no change, having seen me in a glance.

As soon as his gaze was directed at everyone in Finn's group, a killing intent emanated clearly within the look in his eyes. Everyone's breath, except myself, was held back from witnessing his figure.

“Ba-How can...? I'm sure I've chopped off your head before.”.

Now I know that everyone's attention is completely on Erza. In fact, it felt like everyone had forgotten that I had exchanged positions with Priest Ann.

“Easy only. The golem I made resembles me, I've been developing for almost twenty years. It is natural that you can not distinguish it from the original human.” Erza replied lightly.

Golem said? Even I myself do not feel that the decapitated one was a golem, the man really still holds a myriad of mysteries.

“Finn!! We must immediately meng——”

“Silence, trash!!”

Keel's sentence was interrupted along with the loss of voice from his mouth, as Erza interrupted her speech. It was probably Erza's magic that could eliminate one's voice.

And what I don't understand more, I realize that Erza is really angry right now. This was the first time, I saw Erza's angry expression since she called out to me.

“Hey, the witch is there! You're the person I dislike the most now, for daring to show the desire to take mine as your toy. Take good care of your words!”

Erza's threat sounded so terrifying, that it made cold sweat drench Keel's face. The reason for Erza's anger is still not understood, I don't think it's her habit.

However, I dismissed that thought, and chose to ignore it. That's because I still don't know very well, this guy named Erza.

And then, at a time when everyone was still confused. A dozen arrows were released towards Erza, coming from the Elf woman who did not seem to talk much among the members of her group.

One small hope appeared in their minds, arrows shot that much were impossible to avoid by him. But everyone's hopes are dashed, when Erza does something unreasonable.

Just by sliding next to her feet, a stone wall that grew from below blocked all the arrows from hitting Erza. Those people know, Erza just did something out of everyone's mind. Because, Erza just used magic without a slap.

Ignoring the others, Erza swiftly tried to approach the newly failed Elf to attack him. The female elf looked hopeless, she struggled as much as possible to shoot arrows at the approaching opponents. One arrow shot towards his vital point, but Erza easily avoided the trajectory of the arrow. An empty-handed punch struck right in the elf woman's heart, until she fell to the ground.

Unfinished, the arrow that lost its target did not stop just like that. He pointed at the other person who was right at the line of trajectory that was previously covered by Erza's body.

Slaapp...

The arrow stuck right in the head of a man named Hida. The situation that just happened, did not give him a chance to dodge. One person died with an arrow piercing through his brain, no one reacted other than Hard who witnessed being killed just like that.

“Fuck, what did you do to Hida!? I'll tear your body to pieces!!” Enraged, Hard lunged forward with his Helberd.

“Tung... Stop, don't be rash Hard!!” finn's shout to stop him failed, he ignored it and had stood before Erza.

Hard was already firmly convinced that Erza was now within his range of attack. However, the changes that followed left everyone's eyes flabbergasted.

Every part of Hard's body was cut off by something invisible. The big man died with his body torn apart. Witnessing the horrific incident, Keel the witch who had lost her voice sat weakly to the ground. The fear had made him lose interest in fighting.

“I hope this can be a lesson for you. Never play games with me, I can kill you as easily as flipping your palms.” Erza said as she walked slowly towards Keel who was sitting helplessly.

“I heard, earlier instead of you bragging about the magic you used against my clone. I'll show you the real magic art.” Erza continued as she stood before Keel. Erza with an intimidating look drew closer to the frightened witch.

“Iced Coffins.”

One sentence from Erza brought a bone-chilling chill. In a short period of time, the hall space became a frozen grave. And everyone, other than me and Erza was wrapped in thick ice on her body.

It's a really terrible sight. Erza without leaving a trace of sweat on her face, had defeated all of them without any difficulty. The fight that happened just now, was so one-sided.

I who was silent a thousand languages watched the fight, began to step closer to Erza when everything was calm.

Without asking, Erza only paid attention to my attitude. The next moment, the thing I did was bow my head to Erza. Try my best to show my sincerity.

“Starting today, I Selenea Auraluna will follow all your requests, master. Not just until the dungeon you want is finished, but until death do us part

“I've received your name, Selenea. Then, I Erza Nyx Alvena will be your master from now on.”

That way, the contract of master and subordinate between myself and Erza has been formed. I can't wait to see what my master will get in the future.
