One of the 12 strongest, Elizabeth Rose or Elle for short, also known as the Moon Princess, is someone who is known to be a delicate and fragile lady. I met her after the second Cataclysm, and every once in a while I tagged with her from there onwards during our missions.

Before meeting her, I thought she would be a hard to approach, shy lady but after she opened up to me I realised calling her a delicate lady was a mistake… how… well… let me tell you about an incident that took place on one of our missions a few years before the third Cataclysm.

Though I should warn you… you might get mistaken and confused between her words and her personality…

...…..

At the end of a Large cavern, both me and Elizabeth were staring at the dead end in front of us.

"Well… we are at a dead end. Where to next from here?" I asked as I looked at Elizabeth wearing her usual blue striped white dress. Her black waist length hair contained a few streaks of blue hair that only increased the beauty of her blue eyed snowy face.

She looked at me with a blank expression,"I don't know. Fate told me to come here… so here I am."

Hearing her words, I pondered a bit before decoding it and questioning,"you mean that it is somewhere here and we need to search for it?" and she looked at me, saying,"same thing."

'How did you even survive till now…' a wry smile forms on my face as I look at her before shaking my head and then looking at myself. The red collared black coat which I was wearing had turned a bit dirty and I proceeded to dust it before searching around for something.

Though before I could even take a step to search for what we were looking for, a portal opened at a distance from us.

Both me and Elizabeth looked at that portal and prepared ourselves with our weapons. I put my hands on the sword in my scabbard and she took out her sword.

The first thing to come out of that portal… was a parasite. Not just any parasite, but a Royal General of the parasites. His green eyes and insect-like scales with 8 pairs of wings gave his identity away.

He looked at me and then at Elizabeth and spoke with a mocking tone,"a couple of ugly humans, huh? How brave of you to come to our domain by yourself here. It's the first time I have had someone as foolish as you. At least those who hid themselves in the small hive you have created have some brains."

I looked at him walking slowly towards Elizabeth and not hesitating, I too moved towards him but-

"Let me handle this," Elizabeth spoke with an angry expression as she looked at that parasite. Her eyes were literally glaring at him.

Though I didn't plan to stop, but her next words and the density of mana around her made me think otherwise,"[Moon Princess' Flawless Dance]" she spoke and what I witnessed was… butterflies… They bloomed out of nowhere and started flying all around her. Her previous silver katana too changed into a glowing white sword.

-Whoosh

I saw her moving towards the parasite within a blink as cracks began forming around the area from her mere step. However, the parasite didn't even flinch and raised his one hand to catch the sword.

Then… I heard Elizabeth muttering something,"[Overdrive][Illusion Mist]" very fast, and the sword passed through the hand of that parasite and then through his exoskeleton and cut his innards partly as he hurriedly took a step back with a slightly startled and scared expression.

Without wasting any time he immediately appeared behind Elizabeth and slashed her… my eyes widened at his moves which I could barely follow… however Elizabeth turned into a bunch of butterflies and what happened next… a sword appeared out of nowhere from the parasite's back and cut his innards again.

This time the parasite took a long jump, creating a distance between him and Elizabeth. I looked at Elizabeth coming out of her illusion, still glaring at the parasite.

"An insect like you, dare call me ugly? You must be dying to be killed by me. Oh! Fate! Why do I always have to bear with this? Why me?" She kept blabbing something as she kept walking towards that parasite.

-Whoosh

She once again vanished in an instant, appearing closer to the parasite, and he barely dodged it. He vanished from that area and Elizabeth, too. This time I couldn't even follow their battle… All I could do is to follow the damaged areas and manage to make out the direction of the battle.

'Elizabeth is winning… but she is losing a lot of mana… she needs to finish this quick..' I thought as I analysed the situation and wondered if there was anything I could do to help.

-Boom

Though the parasite fell down immediately after that thought with most of his body cut into pieces. I looked at Elizabeth, moving towards the parasite hurriedly and cutting him into pieces… two… ten… hundreds… She did as fast as she could before she finally exhausted all her mana and reverted into her original form.

I see her falling and immediately catch her. I look at the weakened pulse and my eyes widen a bit as I look at her and say,"Why did you use such a dangerous move?!! You almost died using that move, didn't you?!"

Though we were desperate, we could have still escaped if we had both used our powers. It wouldn't have been that difficult at all.

"Because he called me ugly," she spoke with a smile on her face as she barely kept herself conscious. 'You mean that you are tired of running away after losing your father too, aren't you?' I thought as I observed her satisfied face, but said nothing.

"What about them?" she asked as she looked to the side where the portal was still activated. About 100-120 High parasites have entered this area through the portal, mostly because of the death of the Royal parasite.

I partially take out my sword, and my eyes turn black for a moment before turning white again. Then I put my sword back again as all the High parasites dropped dead right then and there.

"You really are strong, aren't you?" A bit shocked by my move, she looked at me with a smile.

"Says the one who killed a Royal parasite," I laugh at her words and speak with a smile as I carry her princess-style back towards our base.

"I can't kill that many that fast," she objected as she maintained eye contact with me and I replied without blinking,"Miss Elizabeth, I am powerful against quantity not quality. I can't kill anyone stronger than me one on one… probably."

She looked at me for a few more minutes as she kept her head on my chest and spoke,"call me Elle," before dozing off.
