The magic that was so familiar to him practically settled in the air, and Dominique instinctively knew that his boss was within these halls.

His pace quickened, and so did Fenrir and Bunbun's.

While he could have just teleported there, he wanted to see his boss' expression when Dominique appeared before him without any warning.

Just the thought of his boss' delight upon seeing him made his pace quicken as a faintly happy expression appeared on his face

 – something that he never was without the boss' presence.

He frowned a little when he realized that there were other people here as well.

One of those auras even niggled a little at his mind, as if he should recognize where it came from.

Dominique tilted his head.

…It reminded him a little of that annoying female teenager that the boss had brought back. The one he didn't like.

The Sin briefly hesitated before putting it out of his mind. How could she be here with the boss when she was back at the sect? Dominique had no interest in anyone else, and his boss was the only whose magical signature he could recognize instantly.

He walked a little faster while still appearing casual, as if he didn't know that the boss was here.

The darkness from the place lightened a little, until he realized that he didn't need to rely on his extra vision to see properly anymore.

The path leading from the cave connected to a wide, perfectly circular room.

From the middle of the room, there were a total of eight pathways out, including the one that he was situated in currently.

However, what made his eyes really widen was the sight that greeted him in the middle of the room.

On an array of sorts that had been drawn on the ground, there were two figures.

One of them was dragging a body over to the array in the centre, placing the body in the middle of the array.

There was an array on the floor, as well as a linking array at the top of the cave.

While he didn't have his boss' eye with arrays and seals, Dominique had managed to pick up quite a bit just being in the boss' presence while he studied things. Though he never asked questions, the boss always seemed to know when he had questions, explaining it for him.

Right now, he had no idea what this array was for at all.

In fact, he was completely clueless. He didn't recognize even a single rune that made up the array!

Yet, that wasn't what had him so shocked.

There was an unknown man dragging his boss' body to the middle of the array.

Instantly, Dominique saw red.

Before he registered what he was doing, the Sin was already flying across the room and punching the man that had *dared* desecrate his boss' body!

The Sin very consciously made sure to keep his strength in check. He wanted this to *hurt*.

How dare he try and use his boss for whatever nefarious purposes he had?!


Somehow, Dominique was still able to keep his strength in check despite how new it was to him.

Sekai swore when a man appeared out of nowhere and started pummelling him nonstop. He couldn't even get a break to retaliate at all. There were no openings that he could see.

Right now, Sekai was in the middle of a one-sided fight, and he was on the losing end.

This man was likely in the Meister stage, and he was obviously holding back. It just made Sekai's Sin instincts flare up instantly with all the bloodlust that was directed at him.

Sekai slammed his fist against the other man's, losing in strength. He stumbled back, just barely managing to dodge the following strike.

His lips pulled into a snarl, and Sekai glowered at the random man who'd intruded into his business. "Who the fuck do you think you are?"

Dominique's expression shuttered. That should be what he should be asking instead. Who did this man think he was, touching his boss?

Sekai grew noticeably enraged when Dominique didn't reply him.

The two Sins were exchanging blow for blow, though Sekai was looking noticeably worse off.

Dominique, with a cold and indifferent expression on his face, systematically took apart Sekai's defence, icy fire in his eyes.

Sekai felt his anxiety growing larger. He had no time for this, even though he usually revelled in this kind of fight.

Who was this man, and why was he attacking him? Was this some sort of test, or was he an enemy? Was he the owner of this place or something? But that didn't make sense!

His mind was spinning with countless questions, but he had no answers.

However, he wasn't dead yet despite the man being a Meister, so he was more inclined to think that the man didn't want to kill him.

At least, not yet.

He had to buy some time for Elysia to return. Perhaps then, they would be able to – wait.

Why the fuck was he acting like he was the loser already!? That was unacceptable!

Sekai snarled, self-admonishment coursing through his body.

At that thought, Sekai fought back harder against this unknown man.

He was definitely not here with good intentions; with the way he was wailing on his body. it felt more like he wanted to inflict as much pain and damage as possible before he killed him off.

Sekai sneered at the thought. The man had to be crazy if he thought that Sekai was going to go down without a fight!

He'd die together with him or die trying!

Even when Sekai was fighting against this unknown attacker, he made sure to steer clear of Alec who had almost been placed in the middle of the array.

Yet, because of this person's interference, he wasn't able to place Alec directly in the middle.

Elysia said that she had a gut feeling that putting Alec in the middle of the array would allow him to wake up sooner or later, and they had no other leads.

The System had been passed out for almost a day already, and if that wasn't an indication of something being wrong, he didn't know what was.

He still needed the System to figure out how to get the brand was off him!

Dominique's eyes narrowed when he inflicted damage on this person. He made sure to hit the parts that inflicted the most pain, while causing relatively little damage.

He could already have ended this battle a long time ago, but every time he caught sight of his boss' prone body, he couldn't stop the anger from flaring up, and his magic responded in kind.

Fire and lightning clashed against each other, the two most destructive elements meeting each other in a head-on clash.

The two Sins exchanged a fast-paced high-intensity battle, and they didn't even notice Bunbun and Fenrir waiting in the corner for them to finish up.

Though they didn't know what was going on, they could tell that this man had their master's magic on him, so he was likely a friend and not foe.

It was something that Dominique eventually realized when he registered it. He originally thought that the magic had come from his boss' body, but then he realized that the little bits of his boss' magic was clinging onto the other man's skin.

"Why do you have the boss' magic on you?" Dominique asked darkly. He punched Sekai's rib, only more annoyed when the man didn't call out in pain.

Sekai held back the hiss that wanted to leave him. Pain was a close friend, even though he didn't like it. He could maintain rational thought and maintain a level head if he so wanted to.

He was confused. What the fuck was this psycho talking about? He didn't know, and he said as such. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

"What did you do to boss?" Dominique continued coldly, like he hadn't heard a word Sekai said.

Sekai's eyes narrowed, his brain working, but then the other man started upping the ante, and he had no time to reply, let alone think things out.

Whatever. He would just beat down this idiot then think about it in true Sekai style!
