Benladann's POV

-----

I wasn't going to let this fox girl have her way!

I cannot let her have her way with me!

My will reinforced my spirit, as my soul began to blaze with my Mana.

"A pitiful quantity of Mana… With that, you can't even take away a single hair from my tail." She said.

"Just let us go, we don't want to fight!" said Miranda.

"No. You're staying until you do what I want!" said the fox girl.

Why is she likes this?

"Then you don't leave us another option!"

Miranda roared as she suddenly exploded!

Only to transform into a mass of black mold, extending into countless tentacles and firing several mold projectiles at her!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Oho? That's certainly something I've never seen in my life… your soul is truly weird…"

The fox girl didn't move away, she waved her hand and pink winds came out of her swing, the dreamy pink winds enveloped the mold and dissipated it into nothingness…

"Pitiful. This is the most you can do? I could just eat your souls if I wanted… There's nothing much you can do against me. You either do what I say or die, simple as that!" said the fox girl, as she slowly moved towards us.

"Here, I'll make her go away for you, must be annoying, right?"

"Eh?!"

Suddenly, the fox girl waved her hand again.

Miranda began to turn into pink winds, and dissipate.

"Ahh… Ahhh…! B-Benladann…!"

"MIRANDA!"

Before I could grasp her, she was gone.

D-Did she died?!

"Fufu. She attacked me first, so it's fair, right?"

Why?

M-Miranda…

After we began to get along… She's gone?

No… This cannot be real.

This must be… not real!

"What's wrong? You're the original mind of your soul, right? I thought you would be thankful of me for having taken down such an annoying parasite, right?"

"S-She was not a parasite anymore…! She was my sister!"

"Sister? So pitiful…"

"Y-You're pitiful!"

"Hm? So now you're going to just talk nonsense I suppose…"

Miranda…

I shouldn't have doubted.

I have to fight too.

I have to use…

The Chaos within my soul.

FLASH!

"Eh?!"

I recall upon the words of Chaos, the entity that spoke to me. She said that I came from chaos and that I was chaos too.

If so… Like Chaos, let me consume everything.

Darkness enveloped my body as spiraling colors emerged chaotically everywhere, the entire place shook immediately.

"W-What! How didn't I realized this earlier?! Incredible… No… It can't be! Y-You're… The thing that the Venerables have been looking for so long! Chaos… Chaos!"

The fox began to look at me with surprise, she began to repeat Chaos as if she had gone insane.

I seeped my hatred into my own soul as I inserted it into the floor and everywhere, I had to break down this place… Chaos Magic, according to Drake, was capable of disrupting all attributes, then… even this place must be run by one attribute!

CRAAAASH!

A sudden crack emerged in the floor, followed by many more.

I was doing it!

"A wilder of Chaos… Someone that can actually survive the Chaotic Void Sea and escape this damned cage of a world?!"

The fox continued to speak things I couldn't understand. Did she mean that something important was related to me?

I knew that even with Chaos I cannot beat her, I will simply escape!

"Haha… You're not going anywhere! Now that I found someone that has fully assimilated Chaos, how could I let you go? You're worth more than anything in this world, girl! You're my ticket out of this damned cesspool!" she laughed, flying towards me. Her pink smoke shapeshifted into countless spirit-like foxes, attacking me!

Does she plans to use me as some kind of ingredient to her stupid plans?!

I won't let her!

"NO!"

FLAAAAAAASSSH!

My chaos surge from my body as if it were endless, a storm of darkness impacts her and her fox spirits, which begin to turn black and dissipate.

"Ah… Truly! Chaos is such a wondrous attribute!"

However, she was completely fine, somehow!

"But I have to quickly put a stop to you, or you'll destroy the inheritance… Let's see… Dream Seal!"

POOF!

Suddenly, I found myself inside a pink cloud.

It was suppressing me and making me dizzy.

I cannot… move either…

I was… losing consciousness…?

No…

No!

I… I am not going to be used as a test subject! I don't even know why I ended here by just sleeping…

Drake… I cannot go before you wake up…

Not yet…

Come on…

Chaos…

I look over my very soul, the depths of my soul emerge as a black slime throb.

Wait… that's…

SPLASH!

Black and slime mold began to come out of my body, splattering all over the dream cloud.

It was working… This is my Mold…?

Miranda?

"I won't be defeated easily!"

Miranda's voice emerges once more from within me, she's alive!

"I was so worried!"

"Don't worry… I am more resilient than I seem…"

Miranda's mold began to consume the cloud, slowly, I was beginning to be freed.

But how long will it take?

CLASH!

Suddenly, I heard a loud crashing sound.

The fox girl is shocked.

"Eh? You're back again? I am busy!"

"Where is she?! Where's Benladann?!"

Drake?!

"I don't… know who you are talking about!" said the fox.

"DRAKE!" I cry, as Drake suddenly hears me, somehow.

"Benladann…! Unseal Dream!"

POOF!

The dream cloud dissipates in an instant.

What? That was fast…

"Benladann!"

Drake suddenly hugs me, we found each other inside a dream…

"What is going on? Do you know her?" I asked.

"It is a long story… She's… the Dream Fox Demon Venerable… or well, what remains of her." Said Drake.

"You know her?! Seriously? Sigh… So you're even with a Chaos Child of all things… Don't you know the value she has? I don't want to kill you so let's do this, I'll give you my inheritance if you give her to me." Said the fox.

"I would rather eat shit!" roared Drake.

"Eh?!"

"Let's go away while we can."

Drake suddenly waved his hand, as a portal emerged.

We stepped forward as the girl screamed at us, but before she could catch us, we were gone from there…
