Chapter 40 - The monster Magis disappears

The cat monster transformed into a spiraling fireball that rolled between the mountains, tearing the earth apart and burning everything in its path.

The flaming sphere reached the castle gate and froze in place. From its blazing core, the cat monster emerged again, leaping onto a rock, scaling the wall, and climbing all the way to the top.

It jumped into the castle and found Monster Magis clinging to the ceiling, waiting for him.

Monster Magis: You are back, cat…

Your little keys adorn you. My dream is to snatch those keys hanging around your neck. But unfortunately for you, the time has come for you to lose your competence. You know that if I delay a second longer, the dragon will burn me. But before I leave, I want to ask… what will you find when you arrive at Capelli's house?

Monster Cat: Capelli has a son named Sayle. He's living happy days now, despite his love for me. If his mother hadn't warned him to stay away from me, I would have made him spend his life running through the woods in search of me.

But I will have my revenge. I will turn his joy into misery. I'll get rid of his mother, Mirta, and then I'll wander freely through the village, with the keys still hanging around my neck.

Monster Magis: But your place is here… in the castle.

Monster Cat: Not until I get rid of them all and take more keys with me. Two keys around my neck are not enough.

Monster Magis: The Dragon Boss will appear… and reward you with a great prize — a permanent place in the castle. I will return soon, perhaps with the castle's crown on my head, and you will have completed your mission. Our dreams will grow… to expel these humans from the earth and cast them into the seas, while we, the monsters, remain.

We will burn the earth, seek out evil souls, and feed on them.

Monster Magis vanished into the shadows.

Monster Cat: Yes… yes…
