Chapter 508 Skeleton Guardians
-----
"Skellies, I want you to stay in home with my daughter and protect her, okay?" I asked the three Skeleton Familiars I had in Earth.
"Okay! Got it, boss!"
"We'll protect the little lass, no problem!"
"But how can we not get spotted by her?"
All three of them had been hiding inside of my own Shadows thanks to Blackie's magic, as he conjured a spell that turned my shadow in some sort of inventory where living beings can hide.
It is not limitless and those three can barely fit inside… but it helps.
"Blackie already put a spell in Elena's shadow, so we'll now use this artifact I got, named the Shadow Orb, to transfer you to her shadows." I said.
It as a nice D+++ Grade item I got from the Red Knife just now. It seems that Thieves usually use these items to manipulate shadows and travel between them, helping them sneak at night.
The item has a set durability, so I cannot overuse it or it will blow into tiny pieces. For now, however, I did what I asked them.
"[Shadow Transfer]"
FLAAASH!
All three of them flew into my daughter's shadows, as she was doing her homework inside her bedroom. It was fast and incredibly easy, and she didn't noticed a single thing either.
"Boss, we've arrived!"
"Oh, it is cozy here."
"Your daughter has an adorable bedroom."
Ugh, they sound like creeps sometimes… But they're skeletons anyways, and my new familiars, so I have to bear with them. They're very strong after their evolutions too.
I can't completely rely on Blackie because he's still a rather free animal, he goes out to hunt Hollows all the time, and eats their cores when he defeats them.
I guess he's protecting his territory, I can always just summon him if I need his help using Familiar Summon, but for now I'll let him be.
"Okay you guys, just stand there and don't annoy her, protect her." I said.
"Okay!"
"I'll take a nap then…"
"Me too."
Well, I conjured some invisibility charms on them just in case they get out of her shadows accidentally… Unless she can wield magic, she won't be able to see them.
Once I was done, I walked out of my bedroom and decided to go visit Lily.
"Anyways, I'll be going, dear. Make sure to not open the door to anybody unless they're your friends, okay?" I asked.
"Sure~" She said from her bedroom.
I had already enchanted my whole house with protective magic, and I even turned it into something like a Living House, because I fused Spirits into it. If any person with bad intentions tries to get in, they're going to regret it.
And if that wasn't enough, the garden in front of my house has also become much more "alive" and will respond to any threats by attacking.
I quickly made my way to Lily's house, which was just at the other side of the streets, finding Mark and Rita walking towards there as well.
"Ah, you two coordinated and came together?" I wondered.
"Yeah, Mark brought me here on his car." Rita smiled. "Hahah, my husband almost killed him when he showed up outside my house."
"It wasn't funny at all…" Mark sighed. "It was hard to convince her husband I was a friend."
"Yeah, but once I told him you were Elayne's boyfriend he let you go." Laughed Rita.
"I'm sorry about that!" I apologized on behalf of Rita. "Just don't go pick up Rita ever again.
"E-Eh?! You want me to walk then?!" Rita asked angrily.
"Well yeah you've got those big legs for a reason!" I sighed. "Or do you want to get even fatter?" I teased her grabbing her belly.
"Ouch!" She cried. "I-I'm not fat! Geez, you make fun of me but all your fat goes here!"
She suddenly grabbed my breasts.
"Hahaha, stop it!" I pushed her away.
Mark was looking with a rather… surprised face.
"S-Sorry, that's how we used to play when we were younger…" I laughed.
"A-Ah, no, it's nothing." He said with a smile. "Anyways, did you slept well?"
"Oh yeah, everything was fine! I spent a lot of my time enchanting my house though. Did you two do the same?" I asked.
"Yeah I made sure my apartment was well secured." Mark nodded.
"Huh? I have to do that?" Rita asked.
We facepalmed with Mark…
"Geez! You're really an irresponsible woman! Okay, I'll go after this and make sure it is safe." I sighed. "More importantly, let's call for Lily."
We called her through the phone and she quickly answered, opening the door.
"Welcome, you three! Ah, what a handsome young man. This is Mark your friend, Titan in the game, right?" Asked Lily in surprise.
"Ah, yeah." Mark said with embarrassment. "Nice to meet you, Lily."
"Heeey~ How are you doing?" Rita greeted Lily.
They knew each other a bit.
"Rita! You're as radiant as ever as well." Lily smiled.
"Is that so~? Hehehe, I guess so!" Rita was easy to please with such an easy compliment.
Though, I did notice that as well… Not only Rita, but Mark, and I as well… Our appearances look much younger after we have acquired magic and all of that.
I realized tons of wrinkles around my face disappeared. My hair was more colorful too, and my whole body seemed stronger and well-toned now. I even noticed I was developing biceps this morning while taking a bath.
Lily was also younger too, her hair looked much more colorful, several wrinkles disappeared, and she had not even gotten her magic circle yet… Now she looks to be in her early forties than her mid-fifties.
"You've gotten much younger looking too, Lily! It must be the magic doing its work." I said with a smile.
"I-Is that so? I did notice as well… I feel much more energetic too." Lily said with a cute smile. "Anyways! How about you come inside? So I can show you what's happening in my house…"
Once we entered Lily's house, we saw it…
