"What's it say, pup? Unless you wanna just leave here for the rest of the trial, get to readin' already..."
The irritation in Lady Fenyras' voice was palpable as she remained rooted in place, and honestly the mont she suggested that I couldn't help but say "That's not a terrible idea...", not thinking as I focused on deciphering what was engraved into the marble around us.
For a second I didn't even know I had spoken, and like before she just remained quiet before chuckling and shaking her head slightly as she muttered "Fuck you too then.", finally making realize what I had said but not giving enough of a reason to reply.
There was sothing more important for to do, and that was to figure out what these runes ant; so of them were so jumbled that they could only be decorative in nature, but so of them were very clearly inscribed with a purpose, but that purpose illuded as I continued to walk around.
The reason it was so... difficult to understand was all thanks to the material it was inscribed on, the lack of mana that seed to flow through them, and also a more 'stylized' take on what they were ant to do; a trap designed to spout flas towards the door was describing a dragon exhaling its power in a certain direction.
Or the earth shedding tears for the damage it must do to protect itself in the future - unleashing a barrage of water bullets in all directions - alongside a sequence of runes that just told a story with no real beginning, ending or purpose in sight.
"All of them are... separate. Not a single one of these seem linked to the others. Just... gibberish, insanity and then the occasional nad spell that would definitely hurt like hell if activated. The problem is I cannot seem to find any sort of activator anywhere, be it in the spell itself or so other chanism around us."
"That's incredible and all, thanks for proving that all of your nutrition doesn't just prioritize your tits and ass, but can I fucking move or no?"
I glared at the Demon Wolf before looking at a few more of the various engravings around us, taking note specifically of the way they reacted to the red energy that continued to swirl around at the bottom of the stairs.
The glimring of that red light was caught by the runes in a way that made it clear that that was the activator I was looking for, but the question then beca whether or not they needed to be directly touched by that energy or if they could be activated from afar...
"I would appreciate it if you could keep the sexual comnts to a minimum."
"Don't think I can when you look like that, nor do I particularly give a damn. I'm going to move."
Her tone was all bubbly as she took a step back before I could reprimand her, and upon that move I prepared to cast a spell if I needed to protect her from her own stupidity, only to click my tongue when nothing happened at all.
"See? Fine. Alright, so these runes are all made by soone crazy... probably the sa person - or soone related to - who had created these trials? Might be, could also be so machination of sothing else. Anyways, the entrance is... there."
She waved her hand loosely at the cloud of red that rested between the pearly white marble walls, acting as the barrier that kept us from moving forwards while an identical barrier resided all around the outside of this structure.
"So we are currently trapped. Let's just head on inside then, hm? What could go wrong~?"
Again she acted without waiting for , and again I had to react to her actions instead of planning with her, the unbridled confidence that she had slipping into that dangerous zone of being arrogance... though that was what made her so strong, wasn't it?

Tossing aside the arm of the idiot who had tried to stab , I continued walking through the crowd completely unbothered, my eyes no longer trained on those around and instead on the two fluffy heads of my ever reliable, yet rarely utilized Summon.
Janus was another regret of mine, the adorably massive Orthos growling at all of the mortals around us to keep them at bay while also searching for my prey, guiding towards them and promising a successful hunt.
The giant two headed dog continued to roam around as it searched for my targets, allowing to stroll through the battlefield as I practiced my other magics in this liberating form of mine; a flourish of my hand - now coated in the blood of that idiot - sent a barrage of bullets that easily punctured armor before burrowing into the veins of those idiots, dropping them to the ground as my magic took root.
Forcing them down to the ground and keeping them there, I helped clear the way for the two Demoness' behind as I tested theory after theory, these convenient test subjects throwing themselves at however they pleased whenever they pleased.
Spears tried to snake towards my throat or heart only to sail over my shoulder as the silvery mist around created shimrs that looked identical to , just in different spots; 'hiding' in plain sight allowed to then target them again with another waft of Moon Magic.
Seeing their eyes glaze over before they fell unconscious was sothing, especially since they began to convulse and mutter to themselves in fear as the nightmares took root; all of the blood around helped sharpen my hunger and gave a better grasp over my powers as I searched for my prey.
The sooner I got them, the sooner I ripped their heads from their shoulders the quicker I could return to the Dogkin outside that would fulfill all of my needs, primarily my hunger but also sothing else too...
And that had grinning as I continued on with my stroll, ignoring the looks of the Demonesses behind and just enjoying that I was finally back out... it felt so good to be free, to be unshackled; so good to be whole again~!
