Reincarnated as a Princess's Pet: With Trash Stats, but SSS-Rank Skill Chapter 89: A Great Boss Raid

Abby was the first to speak. She didn’t take her eyes off the monster.

"...I can’t believe what they did to Cerberus..."

There was anger and sadness in her voice.

Max didn’t move.

"knowing Dante’s abilities..."

He narrowed his eyes.

"...honestly, I’m not surprised. I don’t know how I didn’t think of it before."

Neros spun his sword. Relaxed.

"I never liked dogs anyway."

He smiled.

"don’t worry. I’ll handle it."

Max let out a faint laugh.

"...this feels like a raid."

He looked at the monster.

"a raid against a major boss."

Neros turned his head.

"Sophie."

He extended his hand.

"lend a boost seal. I just got an idea."

Sophie nodded, focusing as she ford the seal her brother had asked for.

Dorian clicked his tongue.

"...those laughs are getting pretty annoying."

Moonlight crossed her arms.

"yeah..."

She looked into the mist.

"show yourself already."

The laughter answered. Louder. Closer.

Dante’s voice slipped through the fog. Distorted, but amused.

"My good dog, attack!"

Cerberus moved.

One of its heads lunged at Sophie. Jaw wide open, ready to devour her in a single bite.

Sophie barely looked up. Still focused on the seal.

And before the fangs could reach her, it was cut.

Clean and fast.

The head went flying.

Neros appeared at her side. He kicked it midair like a soccer ball.

It slamd into a wall with a heavy impact.

The second head roared. It lunged at Moonlight.

But the little dragon didn’t step back. She drove her magic sword straight into its eyes. A freezing pulse exploded from inside the zombie dog’s head. Ice spread instantly, encasing it completely.

Neros appeared again. And struck.

A punch.

The head shattered into pieces.

Moonlight puffed her cheeks.

"that one was mine..."

Neros laughed.

"sorry, sorry."

He patted her shoulder.

"you were aweso anyway."

Sophie raised her hand, the seal complete.

"here you go, brother."

Neros took it. Without hesitation, he placed it on his chest.

The magic activated instantly. His body glowed.

A violent energy surged through him. He smiled, confident.

"please, watch this."

And he vanished.

One mont, he was there.

The next—

No.

The air tore apart in a storm of blows and slashes. Multiple impacts. Impossible to follow with the eye.

Cerberus’ headless body trembled. The severed heads on the ground howled, as if they could feel the damage. Feeling every strike.

And then, the beast’s body collapsed.

Flesh, bones—everything reduced to ashes.

In seconds.

The wind carried the dust away.

And at the center stood Neros.

Brushing off his armor. Smiling.

Moonlight’s eyes widened.

"that was amazing..."

She jumped excitedly.

"I want a seal like that too."

She looked at Sophie.

"your magic is incredible."

Sophie laughed.

"thank you very much, little Moon."

Neros blinked. He looked at both of them, disappointed.

"...hello?"

He frowned.

"I’m the one who tore it apart..."

A wet, dragging sound echoed.

Moving through the mist.

And then they saw them.

Hands—dozens of them.

Zombies erged from the remains of the bodies that had fed the giant dog.

They grabbed the Cerberus heads.

Still alive. Still growling.

And placed them onto their own necks.

As if they belonged there.

Flesh tearing. Bones locking into place.

Grotesque unions.

Then they ran—wildly—through the mass of zombies.

Like uncontrolled beasts.

Max watched them. Calm.

"...that’s actually pretty clever, I have to admit."

The laughter echoed. Louder.

"thank you very much for the recognition..."

Dante’s voice vibrated through the air. He sounded amused. Proud.

Lamia frowned.

"...this is starting to feel like a ga."

She turned slightly.

"...it doesn’t feel like he’s taking us seriously."

A zombie charged at her at full speed.

With a Cerberus head mounted on its shoulders. Jaw wide open. Ready to bite.

But Lamia didn’t move until the last second.

She ducked smoothly.

And swept its legs.

The body slamd heavily against the ground, echoing through the hall.

Neros and Moonlight were already in the middle of the chaos.

Striking. Cutting. Tearing bodies apart.

Zombies fell one after another.

Without stopping.

Abby raised her hand.

Fireballs shot forward.

Impacting enemies. Burning flesh.

But her eyes kept moving.

Searching.

"...where are you...?"

Trying to find the source of the laughter. Trying to land a direct hit on Dante.

Neros spun on himself. Like a top.

His sword traced a perfect circle. Clean cuts.

Zombies fell in every direction. The area around him was cleared in seconds.

But his breathing grew heavier.

"...tch..."

Moonlight looked at him.

" too!"

She spun.

Tried to imitate him. One turn. Two.

She wobbled.

"...dizzy..."

She stopped, panting.

She frowned.

Then drove her sword into the ground.

A freezing pulse spread out.

Ice covered the floor. Zombies slipped. Others got trapped.

Moonlight smiled, tired. And moved forward. Cutting them down one by one.

Dorian extended his hands.

Magic flowed around the group.

Light. Steady.

Everyone’s body felt lighter. Stronger.

Fatigue disappeared.

Max smiled.

"thanks, Dorian."

He spun his hamr once. Twice.

Then threw it straight at the zombies.

Impact after impact.

Shattering bodies. Breaking bones.

The weapon returned to his hand.

And flew again.

Over and over.

Sophie stayed at the center.

Seals activating around her.

A constant protective barrier surrounding the group.

But then—

One of the zombies did sothing different.

It grabbed a Cerberus head—

And threw it.

Straight at them.

The head spun through the air.

Landing in the center.

It bit down.

Clamping onto Dorian’s leg.

Its teeth sank in.

Dorian scread.

His concentration broke.

The magic vanished.

Fatigue hit everyone at once.

Max reacted instantly.

He struck it.

The hamr crushed the head against the ground.

Then struck it again—like he was playing golf—

And launched it far away.

Outside the area protected by the seals.

Moonlight paused for a second.

"...I feel heavier..."

Neros clicked his tongue.

"yeah..."

But he didn’t stop.

He kept cutting.

Despite the exhaustion.

Despite the strain.

Max tightened his grip on the hamr.

Looking around.

Understanding.

"...he’s trying to wear us down..."

His voice was low.

"...before he shows himself."

Moonlight turned, cutting another zombie.

Freezing it at the sa ti.

"then he knows we can beat him."

She smiled.

And despite everything—

She kept fighting.
