His....

When Grayfia saw that Yuuya wasn't moving she panicked and ran toward him to help because the woman was about to attack him.

Yuuya saw the familiar face in front of him attacking him once again.

Just when the spear was about to reach Yuuya, he thrust his spear forward stabbing the woman in front of him in her chest as his eyes were empty and lifeless.

'H-he didn't even hesitate.' Everyone was shocked at the ruthlessness of Yuuya. Fighting someone you love is the hardest thing to do for anyone. As they can't bring themselves to kill the ones they love.

Even the two saints faltered there for a moment.

But Yuuya didn't he killed the person who was supposed to be the person he loved the most without any hesitation.

Yuuya's empty eyes looked at the middle-aged man who was running towards the forest.

"E-EHHPPPP," the man screamed as he saw those empty eyes looking back at him. Yuuya's blue eyes shined as his pupils had a vertical slit in them as blood came out of his eyes.

"A-ARGH, W-What h-happened? W-Wha-" the middle-aged man fell and he wasn't able to move his legs and looked down to see his legs were turned to stone and they broke off.

"A-aahhhhhhhh," The man screamed as he tried to crawl away from this place.

'I-I h-have t-to g-get o-out o-of t-this p-place, t-the T-Teleportation d-device w-will t-take s-some t-time' the man thought as he tried to run away from here.

'Hey bastard your body isn't strong enough for you to use that power, do you have a death wish?' The voice in Yuuya's head shouted.

Yuuya lifted his spear and threw it at the man with all of his strength. And the spear left a dark red trail behind it and appeared in front of the man who summoned more shadows who held many huge shields and the spear collided with the shields.

BANG*

SMASH*

Many shields broke and the man wasn't hurt by the spear but the shadows that held the shields were killed.

Yuuya caught the spear and stored it in his item box and looked at the man then he extended his right hand in front of him and gripped on empty air.

'Hey, are you an idiot don't summon that spear. Your body isn't strong enough to take the lo- hey listen to me, you bastard…' The voice in Yuuya's head shouted but Yuuya didn't listen to it. And a dark red ominous-looking spear appeared in Yuuya's hand. It looked like the spear the women from before held but this one has had a much more dangerous aura around it.

'He is trying to run away as if I'll let him get away.' Yuuya thought as he pulled back his hand that held the spear.

The spear looked like it has been drenched in fresh blood with many ancient-looking writing shined ominously along the full length of the spear from the tail to the spear tip.

And the air tensed up as everyone present felt their hair stand on end as they sweated heavily when they saw that spear.

Yuuya didn't pay any attention to any of this as he threw the spear at the man it was like time has stopped as everyone saw the spear move leaving a red streak and tearing the air apart as it made its way towards his target.

The spear overturned the land and trees in its way leaving a deep gouge on the ground as it made its way to the man.

"N-No.[Doppleganger]" The man summoned a shield to protect himself as 10 shadows appeared and did the same to protect the man as the man was preparing a spell to get away from here.

BAAAAANNNNNNNNG*

The red spear hit the first shield and tore it apart like paper and then the second then the third and tore everything that was standing in the way of its target.

"N-No." the middle-aged man cried out as the spear hit him and tore him into pieces and moved inside the forest leaving a deep rift and overturned trees as the forest was half destroyed.

"Hah* Hah* Hah*" Yuuya was breathing heavily as his eyes felt blurry with blood coming out of them and his right hand was bleeding as it limped he saw that the man was killed and his body fell forward as he lost the strength in his body with all of his magic power sapped.

"M-master," Grayfia ran towards him but someone was faster than her.

"Tch, why don't you listen to me for once?" A beautiful woman with long purple hair that reached her ankles and golden eyes with snake-like pupils, and a voluptuous figure caught Yuuya in her hands hugging him as she clicked her tongue in annoyance while looking at Yuuya who passed out. She looked at him with anger and healed his wounds.

"WOOF!! WOOF!!" Hati growled as she looked at the woman.

"Who are you? Get away from my Master." Grayfia said while glaring at the woman with dangerous eyes as she sent many ice pillars towards the woman and the temperature of the surrounding dropped steeply.

The woman's golden eyes shined ominously and the Ice pillars were turned into stone.

BANG* THUD*

And then broke into small pieces as it fell on the ground shocking everyone present.

Both Iris and Kicking saint got in their stance as Grayfia was about to use higher-tier magic but…..

"Calm down, Maid I won't do anything to your Master. I know you care about him but there is no need to get so worked up over this." The woman said as she waved her hand with an amiable smile. Her friendly attitude was in contrast to her power and Grayfia looked at her as she stopped.

'She is not lying. Does she really know Master?' Grayfia thought as she stopped her magic spell.

"Then who are you? And what is your relationship with Master?" Grayfia asked stressing the second question.

"I'm his..." The women looked at Yuuya and thought for a second.

"…..Friend," she said with a smile.

'Kuh, More competitors,' Iris thought as she jumped around furiously in her mind.

After everyone calmed down the woman looked at the saints.

"We will be going back now. So tell the humans over there that we will visit sometime in the future as he isn't in a condition to go anywhere." She said in a ladylike behaviour and turned towards Grayfia who picked up Hati then walked towards her as a magic circle appeared beneath them.

"Then we will be going." The woman said as she vanished with Grayfia and Yuuya in her hands.

"…." The saints were shocked as they saw this.

"T-teleportation," Iris was stumped along with the kicking saint.

...…

On earth,

Inside Yuuya's bedroom, the Purple-haired Woman laid Yuuya down on the bed and looked at Grayfia who was looking at her with wary eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't take him away." The woman said with a giggle.

"W-What are you talking about?" Grayfia stuttered as she looked at the woman.

"Well, whatever do you have any alcohol in the house. I'm sure there should be." The woman said and Grayfia nodded as they walked out of the room but the woman took one last look at Yuuya and sighed while walking out of the room.

'Why do you have to be like this every time? Do you think no one worries about you,' She shook her head as she walked out.

Grayfia was looking at the woman while she was lost in her thoughts.

'Who was that woman that appeared in front of master? And who is this? I have so many questions.' Grayfia thought.

The woman lifted her head to see Grayfia looking at her and smiled.

"Let's go I'll tell you the things you are curious about," she said in her sensuous voice.

"How did you know?" Grayfia asked while walking towards the kitchen as she had a curious expression on her face.

"I just know. Can you get me a glass of wine?" The woman answered as she sat down at the table and waited for what she asked for.

Grayfia nodded as she poured her a glass of wine that Yuuya ordered before.

The woman took a sip as she flash a satisfied smile.

"Ash knows the type of Wine I like perfectly." The woman said as she stirred the wine glass.

"Ash?" Grayfia asked as she wasn't sure who the woman was talking about.

"Oh, I call Yuuya 'Ash' so don't mind it. Didn't you want to ask me some questions?" The woman said.

"Yes, then who was the woman that showed up when Master was supposed to fight his B-Beloved?" Grayfia asked as she looked a bit torn when she thought that her master had someone he loved.

"That woman, huh, you sure are nosy for a maid." The woman said as she sipped her wine.

"Just answer me," Grayfia said as she blushed a bit.

"Her name is Scathach, Queen of the Land of Shadows and also Your master's lover cum teacher and also not his lover cum teacher at the same time." The woman said.

"Wait Scathach as in 'The Witch of Dun Scaith'? How can she be and not be master's lover at the same time?" Grayfia asked as her eyes twitched.

"Don't ask that to me ask him when he wakes up. Their relationship might not be confirmed but they did care for each other a lot." The woman said as her eyes had a bit of sadness.

"Where is she now?" Grayfia asked as she already guessed the answer but still wanted to confirm it.

"Well, that will be a long story if you really want to listen....." The woman said as she looked at Grayfia who nodded and was about to sit but…

"Get me more wine." The woman said with a smile and Grayfia nodded.

After Grayfia refilled her wine and the woman was about to tell her what happened to Scathach.

"Before we start, What is your name?" Grayfia asked as she forgot to ask her name.

"Oh, you just remembered, My name is...."
