"!!!" The lion was quite shocked that his summoner would be using her familiars as a shield. It was true that their strength might not be as high as theirs, but after helping her on her journey, she actually repaid them by giving them such a tragic end.
It felt like his heart was being crushed. What if he were in that position? He would regret helping his summoner.
Their summoner was good, but because of this action, he wondered if he was just a sacrificial pawn in her mind. Was the bond they had not that of a comrade but of a servant?
She was different from Nathan. Nathan had always been the first one to get injured. If there was any danger, Nathan would be the first one creating a plan that might end up harming himself in the process or making him the bait.
That was why his familiars worried about him so much. Sometimes, Fenrir or Anubis would gladly take his place.
