‘Where’s the dog?’

Grid missed the timing to throw the skewer and hurriedly looked around. Was it because the room was too dark? The dog that Braham mentioned couldn’t be seen.

‘Why is it so quiet when the foaming dog should be running over?’

It couldn’t be a case where the dog didn’t exist. Braham said that Fenrir’s dog was always guarding Fenrir’s room. Grid trusted Braham’s information 100%.

‘Ah, I don’t know.’

He couldn’t afford to fail because he wanted to save an item. Grid hesitated for a moment before preparing to throw the skewer.

“No,” Mercedes suddenly spoke. Her beautiful eyes were mysteriously shining. “The dog that Braham mentioned isn’t here.”

“...!?”

Mercedes was the owner of Keen Insight. No matter how thick the darkness, it was all meaningless in front of her. On the other hand, Braham’s information was hundreds of years old. If he had to choose between Mercedes’ Keen Insight and Braham’s information, he would naturally choose the former.

‘Is it planning to attack while waiting elsewhere?’

Grid faced an unexpected variable from the start and turned to Braham. Braham’s expression was distorted. The moment he heard Mercedes’ words, he used magic power detection and confirmed there were no dogs here. “I thought he was your soul companion yet you threw him away as the crisis approached?”

“I didn’t abandon Hachika. Hachika... died.”

“...!”

Grid’s expression brightened. The dog that Braham was wary of had died. This meant that the success rate of the raid had increased significantly. It was something to cheer over and rejoice about. However, Braham showed a somewhat upset expression. He clicked his tongue and started to widen the distance with Fenrir. It was clearly a tense expression.

‘Why?’

It happened when Grid’s group was feeling doubt.

“Ah!” Noll exclaimed. It was a reaction that showed he noticed something.

Grid asked what was going on and Noll expressed his views. “Braham’s magic didn’t work on Fenrir’s dog because of the protection of dominance.”

“Protection of dominance?”

“It is the most extraordinary of Fenrir’s innate abilities, the power of domination that he inherited from Mother. It is the power to control and neutralize the enemy’s skills and magic. It was originally a power to defend Fenrir but Fenrir wished for Hachika’s safety and lent it to him.”

“Does that mean that as long as Hachika is dead, the power has returned to Fenrir?”

“Yes, that is the only way I can interpret Braham’s reaction.”

“...Then magic won’t work on Fenrir?”

Grid’s expression stiffened. The death of Fenrir’s dog was actually toxic and he couldn’t help being upset.
