The pet master

........

Beatrice walked slowly yet listlessly, heading to the restaurant. In the past two days, her mood has been in an all-time low.

Her father seems to give up on her for some reason, at the same time there's no trace of the human traitors, it seem like they don't even care about her.

In her daze, she didn't notice that the hallway was unusually empty. In fact, she was walking alone.

Opening the door to the restaurant, she finally woke up from her daze, looking at the empty place. Only two people stood there.

One thin and pale with three starfish floating behind him.

The other is a 3 meter tall man looking half human, half rhino with a horn on his head and an armored gray body.

Beatrice smiled for the first time in the past few days.

Finally, they took the bait, and since she used herself as bait, she most definitely have backup.

Immediately she tried to contact her friends, but her face suddenly changed, she couldn't reach them?.

Looking up at the rhino man, he was holding a necklace in his hand.

The necklace started breaking down and merged into the surroundings. As a faint silver light covered the restaurant.

Julio isn't an idiot. Max could see Beatrice Strangeness, so can he, and he planned for the worst.

Beatrice felt bad. ‘ that should be an isolation array,’

She instantly tried to leave the place, however at this moment the three starfish started emitting blue light, and Julio pointed his hand to her.

“Pull.”

Beatrice was inexplicably pulled towards Nicholas.

...... Lucy, on the other side, cheered at the animal man about to hit Beatrice.

Max held Lucy, and she held the phone as he walked to the restaurant.

.....

Nicholas didn't stand on ceremony, and aimed his armored fist and punched.

Buff.

But before the punch could connect, Beatrice turned into a bat.

Dodging Nicholas's fist and flying to his neck, planning a counterattack.

Nicholas didn't flinch and slapped his hand together, causing a huge shock wave.

Beatrice lost control over her small bat body and was thrown away, but before she could regain her senses, countless water bullets were in front of her, about to hit her, looking at the source. It's Julio's three starfish.

Beatrice turned into human form, as a red shield appeared in front of her.

“blood shield”., at the same time Nicholas started running towards her.

Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam.

Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta.

As the rain of bullets ended, the blood shield was still standing, but Nicholas had already reached her.

She wanted to dodge, but something stopped her.

It was Julio.

“pull.” he didn't plan to actually pull her towards him, only using the skill to stop her from dodging.

Beatrice felt desperate as Nicholas Ramed into her horn first.

Ball. Thud.!!

Beatrice spat blood while flying backwards, but using the momentum, she turned into a bat flying to the entrance.

But Julio won't have any of that. “pull”

Beatrice looked desperate, being pulled towards Nicholas again, but this time she was prepared.

Nicholas smiled evilly, but at this moment, the small bat turned into a bloody fantom and accelerated towards him.

“Bloody embrace”

Swish. Swish. “ahhhhhh” Nicholas roared in pain,

Julio acted quickly and used pull, but this time on Nicholas.

Ferrrrr.

Nicholas, now far from the red fantom, looked down at his bloody state with fear in his eyes, his body was corroded under the phantom's attack. He could have died if Julio didn't act fast.

“Nicholas, focus, that should be a killer move. She shouldn't be able to use it again anytime soon.”

Beatrice turned human again, this time pale, apparently weaker.

The fight kept going at this pace.

The three of them were all at E-rank, but Beatrice, being a princess, was stronger individually, but their cooperation almost killed her a few times.

Soon, the fight was coming to an end. Beatrice couldn't hold out 1v2.

“give up you bitch, just die obediently, hhh,” roared Nicholas.

But at this moment Beatrice started glowing.

Feeling her approaching death, she used “royal presence”.

A desperate move that will damage her permanently, making her future bleak.

However, at this moment of life and death, she didn't have a choice, as a blood red energy pulse wave spread to the surroundings.

Julio and Nicholas were immobilized immediately.

no actual harm was done to them but they couldn't move.

The two felt fearful that Beatrice will attack them, but surprisingly she ignored them, and tried to leave.

However, this made them even more desperate. Beatrice definitely has backup, They Know This Much.

If she leaves the array, they are done for.

Currently, she is flying with bat wings, but keeping human form, full transformation is impossible in her current injured state.

Suddenly, and out of nowhere, thick fog appeared in front of the entrance.

“shit. royal presence should last over 20 seconds. How did they free themselves this quickly?” but Beatrice didn't hesitate and rushed through the fog. This was her only chance.

As she went into the fog, Julio and Nicholas regained their freedom, and ran after her desperately. She should've left the array, but as long as they kill her before her reinforcements come, their bosses can save them.

Flying through the fog, Beatrice was bewildered. She suffered no damage inside.

Suddenly something flew by, but she ignored it and kept flying ahead.

In her mind, this fog should be just a distraction to slow her down.

As the fog subsided, and before she could feel happy, she saw the two Julio and Nicholas in front of her,

The two of them seem stunned as well.

Her newfound joy instantly turned into despair as her expression became extremely ugly. ‘ “what did I do wrong to deserve this” she screamed

Julio instantly figured it out. It should be Max helping them.

He didn't waste time on thinking why, and who or what. But rushed with Nicholas.

Beatrice is already at the end of the robe. She couldn't resist, and Nicholas grabbed her with one hand and slammed down.

Thud.!

The floor cracked slightly as blood filled the ground.

Beatrice is still alive. She looked up at the fog.

From Julio's expression, she could tell that it wasn't them behind this weird fog that confused her senses.

While Crying, in her last moment, she wanted to see who was it that doomed her.

And through the dissipating fog, she saw him, a man with a scary smile, looking at her. ‘ it's him’

But her thoughts stopped at this moment as Nicholas crushed her head with a stomp.
